208 BOARD OF TRUSTEES exercise appropriate leadership, particularly with regard to the campuses. 4. The necessary skill to deal with the current instability in the State concerning the governance of higher education. 5. The ability to effect a smooth transition in the presidency. Mr. Lamont asked his colleagues to consider first what each valued in a president of the University and then to consider how this would be measured and what their individual expectations for a new president would be. He also asked them to consider the problems currently facing the University and to consider who among the three candidates would be best to confront these. Each trustee then shared views of the three candidates and what each would bring to the presidency at this time in the University's history. At the end of a lengthy discussion, the trustees agreed by consensus that Dr. James J. Stukel possessed the greatest number of characteristics desired in the next president of the University and best exemplified, in terms of experience, the kind of leader needed for this position. Since time was inadequate for a discussion of what should be included in a letter of offer to Dr. Stukel, the trustees agreed that another meeting should be set. The chair asked the secretary to work with the members of the board to schedule another meeting and to announce it in the appropriate manner. There being no further business, the board adjourned. MICHELE M. THOMPSON THOMAS R. LAMONT Secretary Chair
