GTU CPR Report Graduate Theological Union CAPACITY AND PREPARATORY REVIEW REPORT Submitted to The Western Association of Schools and Colleges and The Association of Theological Schools August 15, 2005 Berkeley, California Introduction The Graduate Theological Union (GTU), located in Berkeley, California, is regarded as the model for a successful theological consortium in the United States, offering education for academic and denominational leadership within a unique ecumenical and interreligious context. Founded in 1962, the consortium now consists of nine theological schools representing Catholic, Protestant, and Unitarian Universalist traditions, institutes of Jewish, Buddhist, and Orthodox Christian Studies, and several other affiliated research and teaching centers. The GTU works collaboratively with the University of California, Berkeley, and is the home of the Flora Lamson Hewlett Library, one of the largest theological libraries in the country. The nine fully accredited member schools of the GTU individually train religious leaders in their respective faith traditions while uniting to grant common doctoral and master’s degrees in theology and religious studies. Those who teach and study at the GTU learn to live, study, and do theological reflection amidst religious and cultural pluralism. The GTU produces scholars and religious leaders of distinction in the U.S. and around the world. GTU graduates teach and do research in leading universities and theological seminaries. They hold posts and ministries in churches, synagogues, and temples. They lead organizations such as the International Association for Religious Freedom in Frankfurt, Germany; the United Nations World Food Program in Lima, Peru; and the Museum of Contemporary Religious Art in St. Louis, Missouri. They write books, direct films, and create works of art. According to the Survey of Earned Doctorates for 2002, the GTU produced 4.6% (24 out of 521) of all earned doctorates in theology and religious studies granted by institutions in the United States. A recent survey conducted by the Auburn Institute reported that in 2001 the GTU ranked tenth (up from twentieth in 1991) among supplier programs granting academic doctorates to full-time faculty teaching in the member schools of the Association of Theological Schools. An Overview of the Report This Capacity and Preparatory Review Report is presented to the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) in order to show that the Graduate Theological Union meets the Core Commitment to Institutional Capacity and is prepared to undertake the Educational Effectiveness Review that is the next stage in the Institutional Review Process. The report is organized in relation to the four WASC Standards, with reference throughout to the specific Criteria for Review (CFR) and the corresponding ATS General Institutional Standards and Degree Program Standards (DPS). The initial draft of this report was prepared by the GTU Executive Team comprising the President, Dean and Vice President of Academic Affairs, Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students, Vice President for Administration and Finance, Vice President for Advancement, and Library Director. Subsequent drafts were reviewed in spring 2005 by the Council of Presidents, Council of Deans, Faculty Council and Core Doctoral Faculty, Rostered and In-Residence Faculty, Student Advisory Committee, the entire GTU staff, and GTU Capacity and Preparatory Review Report – page 2 the Board of Trustees. A draft was made available to all GTU M.A. and doctoral students, who were invited to comment on the report. Revisions were made on the basis of comments and suggestions from all of these groups, and the final draft was completed in July 2005. This introduction will describe changes in the institutional context that have arisen since the approval of the Institutional Proposal in fall 2003. Accompanying the CD-ROM version of this report (with hotlinks throughout the text of the report itself) is an Institutional Portfolio of exhibits and data displays selected as pertinent evidence of the GTU’s Commitment to Capacity. Four reflective essays, one in regard to each Standard, discuss the exhibits and the issues they raise. An appendix documents the GTU’s response to previous concerns identified in the last accreditation review in 1996 and a subsequent focused visit in 1999. Changes in Institutional Context since the Proposal Since the Institutional Proposal was submitted in October 2003, there have been a number of developments in planning, and several important changes in personnel and program at the Graduate Theological Union. In consultation with numerous consortial bodies, the Executive Team prepared an update and revision of the 2001 strategic plan that was reviewed by the Board of Trustees in May 2005; a final version will be presented for Board approval in October 2005. A planning process conducted at a Board retreat in October 2003 led to the initiation of a capital campaign (now completing the planning phase) in order to raise substantial funds for library restoration, scholarships for doctoral students, Jewish Studies, Asian Christian theologies and Asian cultures, and Islamic Studies. In 2004-05, the Advancement Office conducted an integrated marketing project, including extensive research and analysis by an outside consultant, leading to the development of new messages and materials for recruitment and fundraising. Personnel changes include the hiring of a new Vice President for Advancement in spring 2004 and the resignation (effective July 1, 2005) of one of three professors in the Center for Jewish Studies, who is leaving to teach at another school. Three out of nine member school presidents (representing the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology, the Franciscan School of Theology, and the Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary) were installed in the 2004-05 academic year, and in fall 2005 there will be four new member school deans, as well as two acting deans. In May 2005, the GTU Board of Trustees appointed James Donahue to a second five-year term as President through the academic year 2009-10. A personnel change with programmatic implications came in summer 2004 with the promotion of the former Associate Dean for the Doctoral Program to a new position as Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students, with responsibility for enrollment management and the administration of consortial academic services such as registration, financial aid, and institutional research. This move effectively restructured the Dean’s Office to create two separate departments of Academic Affairs and Student Affairs, both headed by vice presidents reporting directly to the president. The intent was threefold: to build capacity for the GTU President to more fully and effectively engage in the institution’s capital campaign by shifting responsibility for centers and affiliates from the President to the Dean; to provide capacity for the Dean to address these new responsibilities by shifting supervision of student affairs to the newly created Dean of Students; and to provide increased focus on GTU Capacity and Preparatory Review Report – page 3 enrollment management in light of both the GTU’s dependence on doctoral student tuition as a source of revenue and its commitments to student diversity and success. In other programmatic developments, the Council of Deans approved Orthodox Christian Studies as a new area of concentration in the M.A. program offered in collaboration with the Patriarch Athenagoras Orthodox Institute. The M.A. in Applied Theology, offered in collaboration with the School of Applied Theology, has not been admitting new students since 2003, and that program will be discontinued after the remaining students graduate. In December 2003, the GTU received a three-year grant from the Henry Luce Foundation for a project now entitled “Partnerships in Transforming Theological Education in Asia, the Pacific, and North America,” which is being carried out in partnership with the United Board for Christian Higher Education in Asia; an anonymous donor has provided an additional challenge grant for this project. The Center for Women and Religion closed at the end of 2003, prompting a Board-mandated study of women’s and racial/ethnic issues in relation to academic programs. A committee of women faculty is now developing a proposal for a new academic program unit that will offer a Certificate in Women’s Studies in Religion. A Task Force on Islamic Studies now coordinates curricular offerings in this field and hosts conferences, symposia, and cultural events. Finally, the Dean of Students has implemented a Doctoral Student Professional Development Program to help students perform successfully within the GTU and to develop the skills necessary to support transition to professional careers within and beyond the religious studies academy. Essay 1: Defining Institutional Purposes and Ensuring Educational Objectives The first section of this essay (“Institutional Purposes”) shows how, through the collaborative development of several recent agreements and planning documents, the GTU has achieved a high degree of alignment of its consortial purposes, mission, educational objectives, and strategic goals and initiatives. The second section (“Integrity”) deals with the GTU’s demonstrated commitments to academic freedom, fair and equitable treatment for all, sound business principles, and diversity. Institutional Purposes (WASC CFR 1.1, 1.2,

SCULLY Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoirs, VOLUME 84 PUBLISHED 2004 BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. WILLIAM REDINGTON HEWLETT May 20, 1913–January 12, 2001 BY ROBERT J. SCULLY AND MARLAN O. SCULLY ILLIAM REDINGTON HEWLETT passed away on January 12, W2001, endowing that day with a national significance. The Silicon Valley miracle was in large part fostered by William Hewlett and David Packard. Indeed, the ideas and ideals of the Hewlett-Packard Corporation set a high stan- dard for the industry. During his life Hewlett was recog- nized by his profession, his country, and his peers as the hero that he was. He was president of the (now) Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers in 1954 and was elected to membership in the National Academy of Engineering in 1965 and the National Academy of Sciences in 1977. Presi- dent Reagan awarded him the National Medal of Science in 1983, and he was awarded the prestigious “Degree of Un- common Man” by Stanford University in 1987. Hewlett-Packard was and is a testament to the success of the free enterprise system and the American dream. The simple, honorable ideals and intensely productive practices they employed propelled a business started in a garage during the Depression to stardom. William and his lifelong friend and partner, David Packard, owned and ran a unique com- pany dedicated to the premise that profits were based on the well-being of its most important assets: its employees.
