Abstract

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has overwhelmed leaders of countries across the globe and created a tempest of academic, economic, cultural, health and political crises. In its wake, COVID-19 continues to leave behind discombobulation, chaos, confusion and insecurity, across every realm of society. In Academe, the myriad crises propagated by COVID-19 begs the question of how university leaders can balance the risks of this calamity with the opportunity for future resilience. This work reveals the univocal truth that higher education will never be the same, and as with most crises, HEI leaders are in a race against the clock to ensure the continued operation of their campuses. This chapter dissects the dichotomy of HBCU and PWI institutions, reviews decisions in response to COVID-19 and explores pertinent crisis management literature. Through a comparative process, the authors postulate the use of RACERS, a new transformative crisis management model. Such a model requires a mechanism that can provide efficacious leadership stratagems to navigate future crises at HEIs and provide options for COVID-19 recovery.
