The NISOD Papers, an occasional publication, is NISOD’s version of a white paper series that educates our audience or explains a particular issue relevant to community and technical college educators. The NISOD Papers covers an array of diverse topics: professional development, emerging technologies, crisis communication, education reform, and more. It complements NISOD’s bi-weekly Innovation Abstracts, which focuses on teaching and learning topics and is directed specifically toward faculty members.

In “The Rogue Trustee and the President,” Terry O’Banion, President and CEO Emeritus, League for Innovation in the Community College, provides insights from a national study* of 59 community college presidents from 16 different states regarding their experiences with a rogue trustee.

*This article was drafted as part of the national study on rogue trustees, but it was misfiled and only recently found by the author. However, the article is as relevant today as it was in 2008-2009.
