CHANGING THE NARRATIVE

Can Christian institutions explain their mission and Biblical perspective?

“You [Christian colleges] have what everybody else is desperate to have: a way of talking about and educating the human person in a way that integrates faith, emotion and intellect. ... Almost no other set of institutions in American society has that, and everyone wants it."

Urban and non-urban independent colleges do equally well in educating all enrolled students - including underrepresented groups.

Smaller, independent institutions provide learning environments that level the playing field for students of differing backgrounds—low-income, firstgeneration, urban, non-urban.

T ITLE IV F UNDS AND A CCREDITATION • Add non-retaliation language • Most important “ask” to Congress • Governments that receive federal money cannot retaliate against a CHE institution on the basis of its religious mission • Clarify the relationship between accreditor and the school • The school can operate in accordance with its religious mission • Add a civil remedy • Gordon College did not have avenue by which to sue the accreditor, but the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals has laid out a process by which a school can do so

Over a lifetime, someone with a bachelor’ degree earns about $1,000,000 more than someone with a bachelor’s diploma.

The annual return on investment of a college degree has been about 15% since 2004- about double the return for the stock market.

A fourth of CIC presidents are women; share of women presidents at other institutions have increased, while CIC has stayed the same since 2006

•

Minority presidents among CIC institutions declined from 8% in 2006 to 6% in 2011, a level that is one-half to one-third of that at public institutions

Emphasis on preparing future leaders to assume presidencies. With high turnover, the pipeline needs to expand rapidly.

Attention to preparing women and persons of color who aspire to the presidency.

Programs to prepare aspiring leaders for the presidency in relevant content areas: technology, risk management, legal issues, enrollment, along with fundraising, boards and budgets.

Research as to the reasons for the decline in the longevity of presidencies? Retirement?

Friction with boards or faculty?

FOR A

• Collaboration is crucial, especially with organizations beyond the campus.

Colleges should have personnel or systems focused on relationships with local employers, community leaders, and other groups.

• Failure is OK, as long as the culture creates a safe space for it.

• New approaches to thinking about the future—scenario planning, innovation labs, rapid prototyping, even just keeping employees up to speed on key national trends—help foster flexibility. Profound Adaptability!
