The
searches we conduct are typically
for senior, important positions
at the nation’s best
known and most highly regarded
institutions. As a result,
our consultants are often sought-out
to comment on issues in higher
education and our searches
are often the subject of media
interest. Our consultants are
contacted very frequently and
have been quoted in such national
publications as The Wall
Street Journal, The Harvard
Crimson, Chicago Tribune, Chronicle
of Higher Education, The Economist,
Trusteeship Magazine, The Boston
Globe, Public Purpose, Nature
Magazine, Cleveland Plain Dealer,
The New Yorker Magazine,
and a myriad of other publications.
We have provided the web link to
a selected number of articles in
this section to give you an insight
into our firm and consultants
and the nature of our work. A number
of the articles are quite recent
and others may be a little older,
but all have been carefully selected
to reflect the breadth and reach
of our work and to speak to topics
of interest. We hope you find these
articles interesting.
