Abstract	Many institutions develop specific measures or indicators--often called "dashboards"--to inform boards and top administrators about the college or university's current situation and performance and assist them in moving the institution ahead strategically. And, increasingly, institutions are using metrics not only to assess internal progress but also to respond to external calls for greater accountability from policy makers and the public. To explore the various methods in use, "Trusteeship" asked three college leaders how they use indicators to govern their institutions. (As Provided).
