    ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES July 11, 2012 Dear Mr. President and Congressional Leaders: We write to urge your bipartisan leadership in forging a major, balanced long-term deficit-reduction agreement that will reduce budget deficits, rein in the nation’s debt, and create economic and job growth to ensure our nation’s long-term fiscal health and to prevent the indiscriminate cuts of sequestration. Sequestration is an undiscerning and blunt budget tool that would substantially harm our nation’s future by blindly slashing valuable investments in education and scientific research, as well as other important discretionary programs that provide health, economic, and national security. There is much public discussion about the impact of sequestration on the defense budget but little about the proposed indiscriminate cuts to the non-defense discretionary budget. Deficit reduction until now has concentrated almost entirely on non-defense discretionary expenditures, which are only about one-sixth of the budget. Spending on these programs is not the primary cause of our rising debt. Wholesale additional reductions in these and other programs that educate and train the next generation risk undermining our nation’s human capital, infrastructure, technological, and scientific needs. A prudent and effective deficit reduction agreement should seriously and thoughtfully address a primary source of long-term spending growth: entitlement programs. Entitlement programs account for a large percentage of the budget, and they are projected to take an increasing share of federal spending in the coming decade. However, the sizable deficit reduction required cannot be achieved solely through decreasing expenditures. Substantial tax reform that is designed both to encourage economic growth and to raise revenues needed to reduce the deficit should also be part of the package.

  • Leadership Initiative Preparing the Next Generation of Leaders
    American Association of State Colleges and Universities MILLennIuM LeAderShip InItIatIve Preparing the Next Generation of Leaders MLI Institute June 12–15, 2010 Washington, D.C. millennium leadership initiative The American Association of State Colleges and Universities’ (AASCU) Millennium Leadership Initiative (MLI) is a premier leadership development program that provides individuals, traditionally underrepresented in the executive ranks of higher education, the opportunity to develop leadership skills, create a philosophical leadership strategy and build the network necessary to advance to a presidency or chancellorship. MLI was originally conceived by AASCU’s African-American presidents to ensure that the next generation of leaders in higher education reflects the diversity within our nation’s colleges and universities. Since its first year of operation, MLI has been open to any accomplished academic administrator at the dean’s level or higher, or individuals who have gained a similar status in other organizations. For more than a decade, MLI has reinforced the vital role that diversity plays in the academic institutional mission, assisting participants to advance their careers and helping institutions diversify their executive leadership. We firmly believe in including the best and most qualified individuals regardless of race and gender. Since the first MLI class in 1999, 338 protégés have graduated from the MLI Institute. Forty percent of graduates have advanced significantly in their careers, and 46 graduates have become first- time presidents or chancellors. Nine individuals have entered their second presidency, bringing MLI’s record to 57 presidencies and chancellorships. However, success cannot be measured only in the number of presidencies or chancellorships. The greater value of MLI’s influence lies in building broad diverse senior leadership on campuses.
