Abstract

Presidents in higher education have been studied extensively, but the campus official who coordinates the university's lobbying efforts has not been the subject of much scholarly inquiry. This article describes the backgrounds of in-house lobbyists in higher education, and explores the perceptions of in-house lobbyists and presidents on the attributes necessary for success as an in-house lobbyist. In-house lobbyists and presidents were interviewed at 20 universities and a national survey of in-house lobbyists was conducted.
