Report: Auburn trustees have too much power

Report: Auburn trustees have too much power: "AUBURN � Auburn University's board of trustees has assumed too much authority over running the college, resulting in a 'neutered' presidency and an 'anxious and unhappy community,' according to a report by an independent consultant being released today.
The 150-page report by James Fisher, an expert on higher education leadership and organization whose work was commissioned by trustees, calls on the board to immediately revamp its bylaws to avoid the micromanagement and conflict that has become characteristic of trustees. It also recommends dramatic changes to the trustee appointment process and guidelines on conflicts of interest"
