ERIC ED153576: A Philosophy of Administration.

Justification is given for paying relatively large salaries to college administrators, specifically the president or chancellor and the chief academic officer. Three administrative task areas are discussed as criteria: management, administration per se, and leadership. It is contended that only leadership can be used as a criterion for administrative performance. Using models like McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y, the paper claims that authority ultimately rests with the academic community, if not by state statute then by the very nature of an academic community.
