”In 1986 just 13 percent of college presidents were over the age of 60”
-@ACEducation
My average of top US research institutions in 2019: 65 years old.
In 1992 it was around 52.
The Boomers redefined jobs as needing exactly as much experience as they had at any given moment.
I don't see the relevance of age. Of course the baby boomers are the ones at the helm of universities- they're at the leadership age. What's the specific insight or point?
