1. The running of a university has been compared to that of a corporation. Do you think that this is a fair assessment? Is there a better comparison?

2. Few would argue that a university has to adapt to the new globalized world in order not be behind the times. Yet, these changes can be contentious. Where would you draw the line between adaption and staying the original course?

3. Do you feel that universities in the United States need an a single regulating organization, whether federal or internal, to unify the assessment process and clear away redundancies? If so, how would you envision it? If not, what would be a more perfect system?

4. Universities have a number of ways of raising money, whether through tuition, fund raising, donations, endowments, government grants, etc. All of these are of course important to the financial functioning of the institution, but they also all have important drawbacks. Which would you consider the most important? Which covers the largest portion of the costs?
