Campus 3 The Carroll News www.jcunews.com February 3, 2011 As we celebrate 125 years of Jesuit education at John Carroll, get to know the Jesuits of JCU Get to Know: Rev. Robert Niehoff, S.J. Niehoff serves as the president of John Carroll University.

Where are you from? “I grew up in the northwest part of the United States about 50 miles from Seattle.”

What is it like to be the president of a university? “There is always more to do than I can ever do. Once you get used to that fact, you begin to enjoy the rich history and tradition of Carroll. All that our students, faculty and staff do and the community we have created at Carroll is amazing to me. I hear often that the Carroll experience has transformed the lives of our alums. As we begin the celebration of Carroll’s 125th year, I celebrate our history and I am proud of our campus community. Our alums will often tell me how important Carroll was to them and which faculty, classmate or coach helped them. I can imagine today’s students saying the same thing in five or 50 years.”

What is the best part of your job? “Celebrating student and faculty success is the best part of my job. It’s always great to hear a parent talk about what a great time their freshman student is having. I always ask, ‘How is it?’ and it’s always good to hear the ‘Carroll Rave’.”

Photo by Dan Cooney What makes the Jesuit community important to JCU? “The tradition and legacy that inspires members of the Society Rev. Robert Niehoff, S.J. of Jesus is alive on our campus and in our graduates. I suspect you would be amazed that nearly all Jesuits of my generation and earlier attended a Jesuit high school or university. I was attending a Jesuit high school when my province began the Jesuit volunteers. The Jesuit volunteer program changed the Society of Jesus and our work. Now many younger Jesuits did not attend Jesuit schools, but were Jesuit volunteers. The JV experience changed the Society of Jesus in the U.S. and changed every ministry - universities, high schools, parishes and social ministry. Jesuits now realize that we cannot do anything without working with others. That realization is more important than ever now that a small number of Jesuits currently work at John Carroll.” Get to Know: Rev. William M. Bichl, S.J. Bichl serves the University as a campus minister and works with alumni relations.

Where are you from? “I am a native of Chicago.”

What is the best part about your job? “I love working with the students as an academic adviser, and earlier as assistant dean in Arts & Sciences (for 24 years).”

What is an interesting fact about yourself? “[I have been] in the Jesuits since 1954 - after college at Loyola University of Chicago and have a master’s degree at Xavier in Cincinnati.”

Is there anything students should know about the Jesuit community that they may not already know? “There are only 12 of us, and four of these are with Gesu Parish. Years ago, we had over 40.”

What makes the Jesuit community important to JCU? “We are carriers of the Ignatian spirit that led to the founding of the University, and are doing our best to pass that spirit on to the faculty, staff, administration and students so we all Photo by Dan Cooney may continue to be men and women for and with others, helping them in their needs.” Fr. William Bichl, S.J. Get to Know: Rev. Casey Bukala, S.J. Bukala is a philosophy professor at John Carroll, and specializes in the study of phenomenology and existentialism.

Where are you from? “I’m a Clevelander, graduated from Holy Name High School and John Carroll, attended Western Reserve and spent two years in the Army before entering the Jesuit novitiate in 1958.”

What is the best part about your job? “I keep getting to meet and know students, who become alumni. I love my students. I’ve taught sons and daughters of former students, celebrated many weddings, and baptized many of their children.”

Do you enjoy teaching? “Yes, yes, yes! Very much. I especially enjoy teaching “Existentialism and Phenomenology.” I developed my own way to explain “Existentialism” - “Who I am is related to who I am yet to become” and, “I am the artist, I am the clay. What am I making of myself?” I illustrate this description with a “stick-figure” which alumni remind me of when they come back for their reunions. Existentialism has to do with our lives and the possibilities that are there for us.”

Editorial 17 The Carroll News www.jcunews.com February 3, 2011 Editorial Undergraduate tuition increase John Carroll University undergraduate tuition will increase 4.8 percent for 2011-2012 academic year. The increase brings the cost for full-time tuition to $30,660. It is common that universities raise tuition in order to support the work- force, and JCU’s 4.8 percent increase is necessary. The University is responsible for labor, health benefits, insurance, day- to-day operation costs and technological needs. Though a tuition increase is necessary, there ought to be other ways to help finance these costs. One way is through fundraising and donations. Richard Mausser, vice president for finance, explained “We’re very fortunate in that we have [a] very loyal and strong donor base. Our giving was actually up last year.” The University ought to find more corporate support. With more cor- porate sponsorship, various costs will be alleviated. Since the recession has caused a loss of some corporate support, the University ought to seek corporations with a promising future. JCU ought to continue to make smart and safe investments, even if it means smaller returns. These investments need to be ones that can fully benefit the JCU community. These practices could help to alleviate concerns with tuition increase and thus enrollment.

Brian Williams, the University’s vice president for enrollment, said about the increase, “My advocacy for students and the planning that goes into it is, ‘What is the least increase we can have that will not impact students, that will ensure enrollment, but ensure we have the resources to run the institution?’” Some might say that tuition ought to be increased without relying so much on supplementing costs in other ways. The endowment has not yet Cartoon by David Hickey “ recovered from the economic fall of two years ago and fundraising con- tinues to be a challenge in the non-profit world. Foundations and donors are suffering the same financial struggle. NOTABLE QUOTABLE With the use of the University’s strong donor program, more corporate support and smart investments, various costs that JCU is responsible for should be covered, and tuition would not have to increase as much.
