Abstract

"Newsworthy" piece on Richard Pattenaude, president of the University of Southern Maine, mentioning that in February, Pattenaude was named to the National Commission on Accountability in Higher Education, a new body that will study the use of so-called accountability systems within higher education institutions. While calling for more business-like measuring and benchmarking of higher education, Pattenaude knows that a university cannot be run like a business. He expects the commission to develop benchmarks and measurements tuned to reveal the operating effectiveness of educational institutions, such as measuring student retention and graduation rates.
