M ESSAGE FROM THE C HAIRMARY PAT SEURKAMP, CHAIRMaking the case for the effectiveness of small andmid-sized independent colleges and universities is achallenge that all CIC member presidents must tackle. Wehave a great story to tell and recent research underscoresthe public’s confidence in private higher education. It will,however, always be important to articulate, with certaintyand passion, the qualities of the excellent educationalprogram our colleges deliver. The CIC Board of Directorshas directed CIC to undertake an ambitious initiative to helpmake that case. In fact, my first year as chair of the CICBoard of Directors has been focused on the launch of theMaking the Case Initiative.This several-year effort, combined with an EnhancingDecision-Making Initiative, enables CIC to collect data onindependent colleges and universities and to develop thecapacity to analyze those data, which will be useful in CIC’spromotion of this sector and in helping institutions usecomparative data for decision-making purposes.Of course, the Council has been involved in myriad otherprojects and services that meet the needs, interests, and concernsof member institutions. These are described in detail inthis Annual Report.I am also pleased to report that CIC’s membershipcontinues its steady growth—the final total for 2003-2004represented a record level of 522 institutional members. Inaddition, participation in the Council’s major conferencesremains high—attendance at the 2004 Presidents Instituteequaled the previous year’s record level, and the number ofparticipants attending the 2003 Institute for Chief AcademicOfficers was one of the highest ever.CIC’s growth and the continual creation and implementationof so many initiatives are indeed proving the Council’ssuccess in serving and making the case for independent highereducation, connecting and listening to its leaders, promotinghigh-quality education, stimulating reform, and formingcollaborations to create and strengthen programs.Mary Pat SeurkampPresident, College of Notre Dame of MarylandChair, CIC Board of Directors2C OUNCIL OF I NDEPENDENT C OLLEGES

M ESSAGE FROM THE P RESIDENTThe theme of this year’s annual report, “Making the Casefor Independent Higher Education,” reflects a commitmentundertaken by CIC at the urging of its member presidents,chief academic officers, and Board of Directors to helpmake a stronger case for the forms of education offered bysmall to mid-sized, teaching-oriented, private colleges anduniversities, and to collect and disseminate data and informationon the independent sector of higher education.During the past year, CIC commissioned two studies andcollected other national data that can help to document theeffectiveness of independent colleges and universities.Currently CIC is developing tools based on those data thatwill help campus leaders make a more effective case for theirown institutions. In related activities, CIC held a symposiumin November 2003 for institutional presidents and corporateCEOs to explore how leaders in both business and independentinstitutions of higher education can benefit from theconnections between the liberal arts and business careers.The Council also created a new Key Indicators Tool thatprovides comparative institutional data on critical ratios.This tool, sent to member presidents in summer 2004, ispart of another CIC data-intensive effort to EnhanceDecision-Making.While the Making the Case and Enhancing Decision-Making Initiatives have constituted a major effort during2003-2004, the Council has also launched several other newprograms, services, and cooperative activities. Highlights forthe year, which are described in the following pages, include:Publications. CIC issued three publications in 2003-2004:Information Technology Benchmarks: A Practical Guide forCollege and University Presidents; Report of a Symposium on theLiberal Arts and Business; and a web-based publication,“Effective Practices Exchange,” that caps a decade of work onoff-campus student learning and community engagement.Presidential Services and Programs. Several CIC serviceshave enabled presidents to meet in order to advise one another,brought together presidents and trustees, and providedconsultants on such issues as financial management and president-boardrelations. In addition, a first-ever PresidentsLeadership Summit was held at the Microsoft Corporationheadquarters in Redmond, Washington. It included 28 collegepresidents who explored with Microsoft experts the technology-influencedapproaches to learning and communication ofthe upcoming “millennial generation” of students.Other Programs and Services. CIC selected two collegesto receive the Heuer Award for Outstanding Achievement inUndergraduate Science Education; sponsored several workshopson “Transformation of the College Library”; co-sponsoredwith the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American Historya seminar on “Slavery: Scholarship and Public History”; andcollaborated with the Council of American OverseasResearch Centers to offer a seminar for CIC faculty memberson “Teaching About Islam and the Middle East.”Thanks are due to many CIC members, the Board ofDirectors, sponsors and other funders, and staff colleagues whocontributed to these successes.Richard EkmanPresidentCouncil of Independent CollegesRICHARD EKMAN, PRESIDENT2003-2004 ANNUAL R EPORT3

I N D E P E N D E N T H I G H E R E D U C A T I O N■■■■Student Learning and Life—faculty-student interaction,rigor and engagement in class, prevalence of extra- and cocurricularlearning, communities that support learning andemphasize values and ethics.Student Success—degree completion, acquisition of broadlife and career skills, acquisition of values and ethics, completionof graduate degrees, income, role of faculty references,value of institution’s academic reputation.Satisfaction with Education—satisfaction with educationand preparation for life after college, financial and volunteersupport for undergraduate institutions, belief that privateeducation was a worthwhile investment.Contribution to the Public Good by private colleges, theirstudents, and graduates—volunteering and communityservice, personal values and priorities, employment inand/or financial support for nonprofit and educationalorganizations, financial and personal involvement withchurches.The data collection and analysis is being converted intomaterials that will serve as resources for CIC memberpresidents as they communicate with a wide range of audiences;provide tools that can help CIC to speak on behalf ofprivate colleges and universities to philanthropic and businessleaders; and establish CIC as a reliable source of informationabout higher education in general and private colleges anduniversities in particular.A variety of other programs and services offered by CIC inthe past year also promotes the distinctive features of educationoffered by small to mid-sized, teaching-oriented, privatecolleges and universities.Liberal Arts and Business Careers Symposium—Ten CICmember presidents and ten business executives met atElmhurst College (IL) in November 2003 to explore howleaders in both the corporate community and at independentinstitutions of higher education can benefit from a betterunderstanding of the connections between the liberal arts andbusiness.During the day-long meeting, participants spent time focusingon barriers to the appreciation of the liberal arts. Theydiscussed specific steps that business and educational leaderscould take to work together more effectively to preparetomorrow’s leaders, especially in business, and recommendedways to advocate more effectively for the value of liberal artseducation.A grant from the James S. Kemper Foundation supportedthe Symposium. The project co-moderaters were ProfessorHarry L. Davis of the University of Chicago Graduate Schoolof Business and CIC Senior Advisor Thomas F.

Each Forum convenesa group of five to seven presidents for three to four meetingsper year to discuss professional concerns “off the record.” Toencourage candid discussion, presidents in each Forum arefrom institutions that do not compete with one another.Among the topics that have been discussed at the Forums:■■■■Governance—the governance system and how to improveit, trustee recruitment, board leadership, how best toinvolve board members in meaningful discussion, buildingboard leadership, how to select the chair, and working witha chair who is a micro-manager.The Presidency—presidential life cycle (seasons in the lifeof a president), how to carve out a personal life in themidst of the many demands on a president, how to makethe office of the president more efficient, keys to moreeffective use of time, the president’s role in a successfulfinancial campaign, and succession planning.Finances—collaboration and outsourcing, how and whento invest in your institution, the need to balance the operatingbudget while investing in the future, health insurancein an era of rising costs, funding financial aid, andhow to create new sources of revenue.Mission—what it means to be a church-related college inthe 21st century, under what circumstances is it appropriateto cancel a student performance of questionable taste,and how to build diversity on campus.The Presidential Forums program is directed by GeorgeHouston, president emeritus of Mount St. Mary’s University(MD) and CIC senior advisor.President-Trustee Dialogues—Nearly 100 presidents andtrustees from 44 institutions participated in one of sixPresident-Trustee Dialogues sponsored by CIC in 2003-2004.These regional meetings brought together presidents and oneor two trustee leaders to examine board governance,president-board relations, and institutional strategy. Besidesfamiliar topics such as trustees’ responsibilities and the board’srole in planning, participants considered “best practices” forboard meetings, the emerging role of the “committee ontrustees,” and the “curriculum” necessary to develop astrategic board.Dialogue hosts were Xavier University (OH), JohnsonC. Smith University (NC), St. Edward’s University (TX),Northwestern College (MN), The Sage Colleges (NY), andAlbright College (PA). Another group of Dialogues, in newlocations, will take place in 2004-2005.The program was launched in July 2003 and is directed byThomas Flynn, former president of Millikin University (IL),who serves as CIC senior advisor.Presidents Consulting Service—Retired presidents comprise aroster of consultants to advise (via phone or a campus visit) sittingpresidents on issues including crisis management, financialmanagement, president-board relations, presidential evaluation,mentoring, and administrative reorganization.

The CIC meeting was held inNovember 2003 in Savannah, Georgia.Throughout the conference, panelists explored the themeof Leadership Challenges: Competition, Resources, and Excellencewith a focus on changing academic leadership roles, andsteps CAOs are taking to provide students an excellenteducational experience with limited resources in acompetitive environment.Major speakers included David W. Breneman, dean of theCurry School of Education at the University of Virginiaand an authority on the finance and economics of highereducation, who delivered the keynote address, and Kent JohnChabotar, president and professor of political science atGuilford College (NC), whose address on “StrategicBudgeting” emphasized the role of academic officers inbudget decisions and the involvement of faculty membersin the budget process. In addition, Chatham College (PA)President Esther L. Barazzone and Susan Resneck Pierce,president emerita of the University of Puget Sound (WA),closed the conference with a plenary session on how they ledinstitutional “turnarounds” based primarily on strengtheningacademic quality.During the 2003 Institute for Chief Academic Officers,keynote speaker David Breneman recommended anumber of specific actions for CAOs to improve theirunderstanding of the institution’s budgets and finances:■■■■■Pay attention to credit rating agencies such as Moodys—this is a player not to be ignored. Part of Moodys’ job is todifferentiate between institutions, so find out what they’relooking at and address it.Learn how to deal with your chief financial officer—learn theirlanguage. They’re taught to keep things obscure; their role isto keep you from spending their money. They are a force—you need to learn all the ins and outs of tuition discounting,enrollment management, fund accounting, restricted funds,quasi-endowments, etc.Learn about these matters by sitting in on as many subcommitteesas you can—budget and finance, investment, andenrollment committees. You should be there—demonstrateyour ability to understand these areas, and read publicationsfrom NACUBO, The College Board, and other organizations.Contribute creatively in your area of expertise. In difficulteconomic times, colleges must maintain quality whiledecreasing costs or increasing revenue or both. Conduct anevaluation of your curriculum; reorganize so that all facultymembers are contributing to the educational mission; work tominimize curricular sprawl; don’t offer too many majors; bewilling to close an occasional program to free up valuableresources; and explore uses of educational technology andcollaborative opportunities.Be seen as an active participant in helping to shape thefuture of your institution; be an advocate for academicquality as measured by student learning; be a manager ofeducational resources; give development staff ideas forfundraising; be a full team player working effectively withthe president, board, and faculty.10C OUNCIL OF I NDEPENDENT C OLLEGES

The biologyand psychology departments have cooperated to createa major in neuroscience. Established in 1996, themajor has grown from one graduate in 1997 to 35 in 2003,while the numbers of majors in biology and psychologyhave also remained strong. Undergraduates are activelyinvolved in collaborative research, both on and off campus,and have given an impressive number of presentationsof their work. Graduates have gone on to graduateprograms in neuroscience and health-related fields andmost of the recent graduates are employed in relatedfields. The interdisciplinary program also allows non-sciencemajors the opportunity for research experiences inneuroscience, while making it possible for neurosciencemajors to find new ways of understanding their own discipline.For the past five years, faculty members from theneuroscience program have conducted a two-week neurosciencesummer camp for high school juniors, and haveparticipated in a program that allows gifted high schoolstudents to visit the campus every other week during theschool year. Neuroscience faculty members and studentsadditionally participate in “Brain Awareness Week,” visitingmiddle schools and high schools to give presentationsand demonstrations.Columbia College Chicago (IL)—Science Institute. TheInstitute for Science Education and Science Communication(“Science Institute”) introduces science to undergraduatenon-science majors. A significant number of studentsat Columbia College are majoring in the fields ofcommunications, media, and the arts, and an importantfeature of the program is the incorporation of the student’sinterests and skills into unconventional modes ofcommunication for assessment, such as using multimediatools and group evaluation to create and evaluate labreports. By making science understandable, accessible,and enjoyable to students who otherwise may not havetaken science classes, these non-majors increasingly combinescience with their chosen professional fields, such asjournalism, in ways they would never have considered ifnot for Science Institute courses taken. The Institute hasalso conducted a range of outreach efforts, including thecreation of Math, Science, and Technology Academies atlocal high schools and the holding of weekly science labsfor K-12 students on campus.
