  1. Govern NOW: What 24 Trustees, Presidents, and Board Professionals Learned About Governing Through Crisis*
    Sep 28, 2026 · original
    Opinions expressed in AGB blogs are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the institutions that employ them or of AGB. More than half of U.S. college students now attend school in a state with at least one law restricting what can be taught or how campuses operate. 1 That single statistic, drawn from PEN America’s research, captures why AGB spent 18 months on an unusual experiment: teaching trustees, in real time, how to govern through a crisis nobody fully anticipated. The result, funded by the Mellon Foundation and developed in partnership with PEN America , was the Govern NOW Leadership Academy (“the Academy”)—a pilot cohort of trustees, presidents, and board professionals (AGB’s term for staff at a campus, system, or institutionally related foundation who support the governing board) who spent 12 weeks working through the fiduciary, legal, and practical dimensions of acad
  2. The Selection of Public College and University Foundation Board Members
    Sep 28, 2026 · original
    Introduction: Why the Foundation Director Selection Process Matters Higher education serves essential public purposes, including workforce and economic development, research and innovation, and civic education. Across its century of work, AGB has maintained that these purposes are best promoted by independent governing boards whose citizen members are committed to their institutions’ missions to serve their students, community, states, and nation. Today higher education institutions face serious pressures, including affordability and access issues, negative enrollment trends, and declining public confidence. Most foundation boards recognize that their host institutions are confronting greater competition, financial urgencies, and public scrutiny than ever before. Foundation boards are also grappling with growing demands from their host institutions, donors, and the public to provide grea

    Introduction: Why the Trustee Selection Process Matters Higher education serves essential public purposes, including workforce and economic development, research and innovation, and civic education. These purposes are best promoted by independent governing boards whose citizen members are committed to their institutions’ missions to serve their students, community, states, and nation. Across its century of work, AGB has maintained that colleges and universities are strengthened when citizen trustees are empowered to govern in partnership with presidents and in service to institutional mission. Higher education today faces serious pressures, including affordability and access issues, negative enrollment trends, intellectual diversity concerns, and declining public confidence. While critics sometimes question whether governing boards can respond effectively to such concerns, AGB maintains

    AGB Foundation Leadership Academy Build the leadership capacity of your foundation. January–May 2027 | Washington, DC + Online Apply Now Having a “ready-to-go” succession plan in the event of interruptions in foundation staff leadership is among the shared responsibilities of a foundation CEO and a foundation board. The role of a foundation CEO requires a wide range of skills and capacities. Becoming a foundation CEO entails a transition from leading a functional team to leading a complex enterprise with responsibility for setting strategy, fostering organizational culture, overseeing HR, finance, operations, and investments, and working with and potentially reporting to not only a volunteer board but the president of the affiliated institution. The AGB Foundation Leadership Academy prepares prospective foundation CEOs to make that transition. This five-month executive development experi
  7. Govern NOW: The Mission-Critical Importance of Board Independence*
    Sep 18, 2026 · original
    Opinions expressed in AGB blogs are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the institutions that employ them or of AGB. The list of adjectives in higher education to go with “pressures” gets longer every day—economic, demographic, financial, technological, and now takeover—external stakeholders with ideological agendas telling seasoned leaders and professors what to do. Governing boards committed to exercising their fiduciary responsibilities must not only pursue their institution’s best interests but now must also protect their colleges and universities from harm. If this type of external pressure hasn’t reached your institution yet, it will. Powerful influencers today aim to exert ideological control over what citizens learn; undercutting a college’s or university’s mission to search for truth leads to the erosion of free society. According to the 2026 Academic Freedom Index

  10. Renewed Congressional Push on College Sports Makes Board Oversight Urgent Governance Priority
    Sep 15, 2026 · original
    WASHINGTON, DC (September 15, 2026) As Congress renews its focus on sweeping legislation governing college athletics, college and university board oversight is becoming an urgent governance priority. Ross Mugler, President and CEO for the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges (AGB), is urging governing boards to ensure they understand the rapidly changing financial, legal, and strategic environment surrounding college sports, and what it means for their institutions. “The renewed congressional push on college athletics underscores how quickly the landscape is changing and why governing boards must understand the profound implications for their institutions. Whether or not the Protect College Sports Act ultimately becomes law, the decisions being made in Washington, in the courts, by conferences, and within institutions are reshaping the economics and governance of
