Abstract: A college presidential search will find the best candidate if the search committee exceeds routine reference checks, conducts effective interviews, and includes visits to finalists' home campuses. The visit can cast light on such unknown factors as fund-raising potential and leadership skills. There are also disadvantages to be considered, including cost and the effect on unsuccessful candidates. (MSE)
