Call me Phil: A funny, but sad story of community college leadership
Check out this short story from Inside Higher Ed. You'll either be laughing your head off or crying into your pillow.
I’m Phil Dolly, Ed. D.
Recently resigned, or deposed, community college president.
Yesterday I was the CEO at North East Central Community College here in Folsom County, West Dakota. Today, I’m contemplating my own crisis in leadership. Following a faculty vote of no confidence, and caving in to growing board pressure, I packed it in this morning. No one was surprised, really, including me. But more about that later.
