Dear Ms. Gaina: As the Executive Vice President of Monroe College, I
Ms. Jean-Didier Gaina August 1, 2016 Offce of Postsecondary Education U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Room 6W232B Washington, DC 20202 RE: DOCKET NUMBER ED-2015-OPE-0103 Dear Ms. Gaina: As the Executive Vice President of Monroe College, I write regarding the proposed Defense to Repayment Rule (“Rule”) as published in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on June 13, 2016. At Monroe College, we have consistently championed an approach to higher education that focuses on: • Student outcomes across all institution types • Constructive policies that encourage and permit responsive actions from institutions that positively impact students • Transparency in data and process Our comments on the Rule focus on two areas: • A concern that the proposed Repayment Rate Warning does not adequately protect or inform students and refects a fawed approach that jeopardizes the entire Rule • Risks stemming from an overly broad Borrower Defense Framework will lead to unintended consequences that harm community colleges, HBCUs, and other institutions that provide access to underrepresented students For 83 years, Monroe College has consistently produced some of the best outcomes in the country for urban and low-income minority students. We have one of the highest graduation rates and one of the lowest default rates for the populations we serve. We are proud of the recognition we have earned as a model for increasing student access and the resources we allocate to student support services, including fnancial literacy, student loan counseling, remediation and career services. Given that Monroe is located in the poorest congressional zip code in the country, we are a laboratory for many of the great higher education policy debates, particularly those that relate to access for minorities and low-income students, graduation rates, student debt, college readiness, or employment outcomes.

SOUTH CAROLINA INDEPENDENT COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES, Inc
SOUTH CAROLINA INDEPENDENT COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES, Inc. 2020 Annual Report RTUS T VI S E ITA VER a voice for independent higher education in south carolina Message From the Chair This annual report marks my first year as Chair of the Board of Trustees of South Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities. Little did I know when I became chair last October that in a few months the world would face the onset of COVID-19. As you review this year’s annual report, you will see how our stakeholders came together to support our member institutions throughout this crisis. Independent higher education in South Carolina never wavered in equipping diverse, intelligent, and highly engaged students to become principled leaders in their professions and communities. While financial support is important every year, COVID-19 put unprecedented monetary pressures on students and their families. I would like to thank all our donors whose scholarships often made the difference that allowed students to remain enrolled. In particular I would like to thank the South Carolina Student Loan Corporation and the Council of Independent Colleges for generous new scholarship funding, and the Bailey Foundation for reaching the milestone of contributing scholarships through SCICU for 50 years. It has been my deepest honor to be associated with SCICU and its board of trustees for their dedication to assisting our campuses, enriching the lives of our students, and providing a bright future for all who call South Carolina home. Thank you all for your continued support of independent higher education in South Carolina. Jerry Cheatham Chair, SCICU Board of Trustees Staff VP of Finance, Industrial North America Sonoco Products Company 2 Message From the President As with so many organizations, our 2020 Annual Report is the “COVID-19 Edition.” Much of what we have done in the past months has been to support SCICU member institutions in responding to the myriad challenges posed by COVID-19.

FALL 2018 Volume 2, Issue 1 CAREER PATHWAYS INITIATIVE N E W S L E T T E R Project Overview Funded by UNCF® and the Lilly Foundation, Inc., the Carolina Cluster Career Pathways Initiative is a consortium of three core Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in South Carolina: Benedict College, Claflin University, and Voorhees College. The newly designed Career Pathways Program presents an exciting opportunity to build upon Claflin University’s tradition of delivering high quality educational experiences. The Career Pathw ays Program will impact student preparation for the workforce or graduate/professional schools by helping them develop 21st century workforce competencies through a 3-pronged approach established by UNCF. The three prongs in this approach are: Guided Pathways, Curricula Enhancements, and Integrated Co-Curricula Engagements. Guided Pathways – intentional milestones of goals, coursework, and activities during the academic year that lead individual students to specific careers and/or graduate/professional school. Curricula Enhancements – coursework that provides students with the knowledge, skills, and competencies to meet workforce needs and demands. Integrated Co-Curricular Engagements – students participate in opportunities to gain real-life experience related to career goals.
