The proof is in the pudding is an old saying that comes to mind, considering and comparing the effectiveness of the two presidents. Effort that each put into their respective universities as strategic leaders differs in direction, style, and substance. That would be assembling and mixing the ingredients for the “pudding.” The pudding itself is measured performance of the university as a whole. Would large increases in state funding, an increase in enrollment of over a thousand students, a more positive public image, and higher faculty morale prove that President Workman is a more effective leader than President Thomas with Eastern’s average funding increase, decline in enrollments, and faculty morale?
