He studied liberal arts in Santiago, Chile, and in 1960 earned a degree in philosophy from the Catholic University of Buenos Aires.

  • 2014 WASC Interim Report
    July 11, 2014 Michael Engh President Santa Clara University 500 El Camino Real Santa Clara, California 950553-0015 Dear President Engh: At its meeting via teleconference on July 10, 2014, a panel of the Interim Report Committee considered the report of Santa Clara University (SCU) submitted on March 1, 2014, along with the supporting documents which accompanied it. The members appreciated the opportunity to discuss the interim report with your colleagues: Dennis Jacobs, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs; Diane Jonte-Pace, Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs; and Ed Ryan, Vice Provost for Planning and Institutional Effectiveness and ALO. The discussion was informative and helped the panelists to understand more clearly SCU’s responses to the Commission Action Letter dated July 5, 2011 following the EER Visit of February 7-9, 2011. That Commission letter asked the institution to address four issues related to the activities of the institution: (1) promoting a community of inclusive excellence; (2) integrating the Jesuit School of Theology (JST) into the life of SCU; (3) refining and expanding assessment and program review; and (4) enhancing shared governance and communication. The panel commended SCU for an exemplary report. It was well-organized, thoughtfully balanced between description and analysis, amply supported by appropriate evidence, and characterized by a forthright and candid perspective. There was significant evidence of progress in each of the areas, even as the institution was grappling with a significant campus event. The conversation with your colleagues complemented and enhanced the laudable work presented in the report itself. With respect to promoting a community of inclusive excellence, the panel found that the specific acts of establishing an Office for Diversity and Inclusion and creating a comprehensive diversity dashboard are potent evidence of the institution’s intent to foster inclusion.
