Do Members of School Trustees Have The Necessary Knowledge and Skills?

In 2013 AAEA has written, shared and suspected that not all the School Board members may not have all the necessary skills, expertise and knowledge to manage a higher ed institution.  The answer of the above questions may be not, at least after reading the following article.  If this is the case, people may not be too surprise to see the current and all the challenges as well as the issues facing the American higher ed, at least in general terms.  As we have mentioned before, most of these Board members are chosen may not based on their appropriate skills and background needed to successfully manage a higher ed institution.  Rather, some of them were chosen because of their PR and lobbying ability, and capability to bring money to the institutions.  It is nothing wrong with that.  However, at least there should be one member who has the expertise in crucial areas such as finance and analytics.
