The ASSB’s organizational chart can be found in APPENDIX 2. III – CONDITIONS OF ACCREDITATION a. Ottawa University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) (www.hlcommission.org). HLC visited the University in March 2014 for reaccreditation. The accreditation of Ottawa University was continued with the next Reaffirmation of Accreditation in 2023-2024. Please refer to this link for evidence of accreditation for Ottawa University: LINK b. Statement of Mission—Institution The mission of Ottawa University is to provide the highest quality liberal arts and professional education in a caring, Christ-centered community of grace, which integrates faith, learning, and life. The University serves students of traditional age, adult learners, and organizations through undergraduate and graduate programs. Written in 2000, the President has convened a panel including Trustees, faculty and alumni to rewrite this statement, along with the vision statement, for both the university and the School of Business, during our 150th anniversary year 2015-2016. There has been great debate regarding our intent directed toward our mission statement. Please see below for the detailed explanation of the components of the mission statement. These mission documents represent and communicate the University’s historical traditions and Christian heritage and make evident its dual commitment to both traditional students at the residential campus (referred to internally as The College) and nontraditional students at the adult locations by providing liberal arts and professional programs (such as Human Resources Management, Nursing, Engineering) and support services essential to student success. “Caring,” as suggested in the Mission Statement, refers to our intent (and, indeed, our culture) of nurturing and supporting all of our students as well as all those who serve them. We care about them as human beings and seek to be unusually supportive and sensitive to their needs beyond what happens in the classroom or at their jobs. We also care deeply about the power and importance of ideas and values. Social justice, expanded opportunities for economic growth, issues related to disparity of power and privilege, freedom of all kinds and in all forms, and appreciation for diversity and service to others are examples of deeply ingrained causes or passions residing in the cultural and intellectual DNA of Ottawa University. “Christ-centered” means that historically and to this day, our roots are faith-based. We see a continuous and virtuous connection between the example of Christ’s life and our educational purposes as a liberal arts institution. Our intent is to live this tenet out by systematic inquiry 5 Institutional Overview and study, example, profession, and deed. We stake out a position on the continuum of Christian educational institutions that is neither “in name only” nor “prescriptive.” Without adopting a narrow interpretation or exclusive approach that would marginalize those who are not people of faith or of a different faith in their experience at Ottawa University, we are steadfast in our belief that the Christian faith is one where its truth will set people free (Veritas Vos Liberabit). Thus, we are willing and open to living with the tension that comes when neither our employees nor students are required to espouse the Christian faith, sign oaths, or engage in activities that often characterize other, more traditional Christian colleges. We see our institution as tied to (but not owned by) the church, serving it through our graduates who become clergy and lay leaders and our programs, which strengthen the church’s mission and leadership. We are also served by the church, and in particular the American Baptist denomination, with which the institution has maintained a vital and lasting affiliation. The guiding principle that we are “Steadfastly Christian, Proudly American Baptist, and Positively Open and Inclusive” captures our position reasonably. “Community of grace” recognizes that all of us need community—for better learning outcomes, for experiencing the power of collaboration, for personal support systems and networks, for the healthy development of identity, for understanding and appreciation of differences, and just for a better overall quality of life. “Grace” as used in this context means much more than gracious and civil behavior although that is certainly how we expect to be with each other. In this sense, it also means being grateful for and openly acknowledging in a collective way a gift that none of us can possibly earn (no matter how well-educated or how successful we become in our lives). That gift is the promise of eternal life through Christ, which is God’s ultimate gift to mankind “and therefore,” as the Scripture (Romans 5:5) says, “will not disappoint us.” The Ottawa University community of grace is to be one in which all are invited, encouraged, nurtured, and supported regardless of differences. “Integrating faith, learning and life” is a direct reference to an outcome that we seek for our graduates—namely, that they are especially capable of demonstrating that integration and articulating why it matters. This integration reflects the “whole person” philosophy and commitment that undergird

  • Property Insurance
    Barton Community College Board of Trustees Board Meeting June 25, 2019 PROPERTY, CASUALTY, WORKERS COMPENSATION, AND OTHER INSURANCE: The college currently is insured by Midwest Higher Education Compact (MHEC). Most of the other Kansas Community Colleges have also joined this program which enables us all to share in the benefit of being in a large pool with the other colleges throughout the nation. With our “buy down”, deductible remains at $25,000 for property, however MHEC has changed the wind/hail deductible to $300,000 which is a significant increase. MHEC provides protection in 17 states. In the past five years MHEC has paid out total claims of $128,677,942. Of that total, $67,811,905 has been paid to Kansas colleges. MHEC had been using certain common rate factors across all the states (same rate for all states). Kansas colleges have significantly benefited from this pricing methodology. Claims paid by the MHEC on behalf of Barton total $993,263 versus premiums paid by Barton to MHEC of $318,550. This does not include the recent fire loss to Camp Aldrich.

    September 3, 2015 Board of Trustees: Attached you will find Labette Community College’s 2015 Annual Report. The information comes from all areas of our College in an attempt to provide you with a comprehensive view of what we have accomplished over the past year. The report starts with our Strategic Planning process so you get an idea of the big picture, including the Core Values and Core Values Outcomes that the Board helped us to write. The last part of the report contains the timeline, organizational charts, Committee Support of Strategic Plan and ends with Highlights. Hopefully this annual comprehensive overview will serve the needs of the board. It also serves as way for us to show our transparency as required by the Higher Learning Commission. Once the annual report has been reviewed by the Board of Trustees, the information will be shared with all Labette Community College employees and adjunct instructors. Finally, this Annual Report is a testament to the outstanding works of all our faculty, staff, and administration. I know you will be as pleased as I am with our results. Sincerely, George C. Knox, Ed.D. President President’s Vision Labette Community College 5 Year Vision FY 2016-2020 PREFACE As always there is a need to write a preface to my five-year vision.
