ATS seeks survey responses from CEOs
As announced above, Lilly Endowment Inc. has launched a three-phase initiative to assist ATS schools as they adapt and innovate to changing realities. ATS is currently conducting a survey of school CEOs to map the organizational and financial models that schools have recently tried. The goal is to learn how effective the strategies have been on the school’s mission and financial picture, as well as to provide schools with initial findings as they craft their proposals. The survey covers strategies in six categories:
• Organizational (e.g., affiliate with another entity)
• Financial (e.g., expand to new markets)
• Technology (e.g., hire outside technology consultants)
• Educational (e.g., global partnership)
• Governance (e.g., change board composition)
• Faculty/staffing (e.g., modify tenure)
Each school’s engagement is unique, and the study needs a wide range of perspectives. The Association encourages all school CEOs to participate—ensure that your school’s activity is represented! We plan to share the results of this survey (anonymously) with the membership in upcoming articles.
