摘　　要：波士顿大学2003年校长遴选作为一次失败的校长遴选案例有很多值得反思的教训,透过反面的案例能更加全面地了解美国大学的校长遴选制度。此次遴选失败的根源在于波士顿大学功勋校长约翰·希尔伯的不当影响,同时遴选过程中出现了很多违背常规的做法。从这个案例可以看出教师参与对于平衡遴选委员会中董事的重要性,校长遴选的理念应该是选择最合适的人而不是最有名望的人,要防止外界权力对遴选委员会的过度干预等。The failure of the Boston University search in 2003, which is considered as a representative example of the American college presidential search system, is explored in this study. Its failure, on the one hand, can be attributed to the improper interference of the former president John Silber, who has made the greatest contribution to the university. On the other hand, the unconventionality of the the is another cause. Based on this study, the involvement of the faculty member in the presidential the is emphasized. The philosophy that the most appropriate person, rather than the most famed one, should be selected as the president is proposed as well. What is more, it is also suggested that the presidential the should be protected from any external interference.
