The Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges (AGB) 2018 Trustee Index is the second annual survey of college and university board members about those issues they see as the most pressing facing the sector and the institutions they serve. This AGB survey, conducted in collaboration with Gallup, engaged trustees from across the nation about the value proposition for higher education and what they see as the major issues on the horizon. The majority of trustees surveyed believe the public's perceptions of higher education are somewhat or mostly positive. However, when the findings were parsed, trustees are concerned about many of the issues often cited as eroding the public's trust in colleges and universities. As in 2017, board members again rate the price of higher education as their top concern for the future of the sector. In this year's Trustee Index survey, board members report that while their boards are looking at their pricing models, net tuition revenue, and student debt, the level of board engagement and discussion on these fundamental issues varies. In addition to addressing concerns related to finance, boards are also being asked to consider major changes to their institutions' academic programs and delivery as well as stakeholders' expectations to meet the changing needs of their student bodies. Beyond their fiduciary responsibilities on their own boards, trustees can also serve as stewards for the entire higher education enterprise. This year's survey results demonstrate an important role for trustee advocacy in addressing the growing skepticism about the value and true contributions of higher education.
