Abstract

In the evolving landscape of higher education, college and university presidents are increasingly confronted with crises that intersect with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) issues. This chapter offers a comprehensive exploration of why and how aspiring presidents must be adept at managing such crises to foster a resilient and inclusive academic community. Emphasizing the critical role of DEI leadership, the chapter underscores the importance of a proactive and strategic approach to crisis management. It outlines practical strategies for addressing and mitigating DEI-related challenges, engaging stakeholders in meaningful dialogue, and implementing policies that promote equity and inclusivity. By focusing on practical, actionable the chapter aims to equip future leaders with the tools necessary for not only managing immediate crises but also driving long-term institutional change. This forward-thinking approach ensures that DEI issues are integrated into the core mission of the institution, ultimately contributing to a more equitable and inclusive academic environment.
