Abstract

The article presents the general background and management challenge of confidentiality and its usage in general management policies. Having taken part in a presidential search with little prior preparation, the author realizes how useful the experience and lessons learned can be for others in the same situation. The article furnishes a brief outline of three vantage points for confidentiality including development of the initial candidate pool, operations of the search committee and on-campus visiting and interviewing. These vantage points aim at training programs for search committees, the need to consider their dissident opinion during the search and the necessity of an executive order directing college administrators to honor confidentiality.
