Questions for the Business Dean – Part II

Based on another visit, here are more faculty questions for the dean candidate:

1. How can faculty get engaged in development efforts?
2. How would you reward faculty research?
3. How would you prioritize faculty scholarship?
4. What is your management style?
5. Would you be in favor of large class sizes?
6. We face three issues related to accreditation: core learning objectives, our capstone learning experience and faculty qualifications.  How would you handle each of these issues?
7. How would you deal with the ‘good old boy’ network on our campus?
8. How would our centers and institutes enter into your strategic planning?

I particularly enjoyed the way in which our candidate reflected on these questions before answering and how our candidate typically told a story when answering.  Good job.
