• George Justice’s How To Be A Dean is an important read for both seasoned and aspiring administrators. Justice reminds readers that Deans hold a unique space in the higher education organization and have a distinct set of responsibilities that come along with that role first and foremost, preserving the academic quality and mission of the University. The book addresses particular situations—spousal hires, eliminating programs, fundraising—as well as some of the big questions surrounding University administration. Justice offers a blend of specific advice, questions to ask, and steps to take, while also offering keen insights, delivered with unflinching honesty, about the great (and not-so-great) aspects of the job. “Must-read” may be an overused phrase, and yet, this book is a must-read for anyone thinking about becoming a Dean, currently in the throes of the job, or just curious about what Deans do and how and why they do it.
