Years of Leadership and Advocacy

ANNUAL REPORT 2017 Photo courtesy of ACE member institution University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. Cover photo courtesy of ACE member institution Miami University (OH). DEAR COLLEAGUES We are pleased to send you the American Council on Education’s (ACE) 2017 Annual Report. As we report on ACE initiatives and face the challenging times ahead, we would like to thank the ACE Board of Directors, our nearly 2,000 members, and the entire higher education community for your efforts over the past year. We are pleased ACE has been able to work on your behalf and look forward to continuing to do so in the future. ACE’s advocacy at the federal level, encompassing Congress, the new Trump administration, and the courts, ensures the voice of Amer- ican higher education is part of important policy conversations that impact students, families, and institutions. In 2017, ACE’s Division of Government and Public Affairs coordinated higher education community initiatives to protect Dreamers and respond to tax reform proposals harmful to higher education, among other public policy efforts. The Center for Education Attainment and Innovation (CEAI) worked to advance its objective of supporting post-traditional learners. CEAI’s work included expanded efforts to develop and quality assure faculty development training offered by ACUE’s Course in Effective Teach- ing Practices and conducting research about connections between instructional quality, student outcomes, and institutional efficiency. The Center for Internationalization and Global Engagement (CIGE) continued to provide analysis of international education issues, and to administer programs in support of higher education institutions in these critical areas. CIGE released its Mapping Internationaliza- tion on U.S. Campuses study and launched the Alliance for Global Innovation in Tertiary Education, which will create a global learning community. ACE’s Center for Policy Research and Strategy (CPRS) released the American College President Study 2017 as part of its work to reimag- ine diversity and equity in higher education and examine dynamic and resilient institutions and transformational leadership. CPRS also launched a series of convenings with college and university presidents and other stakeholders to discuss the perceived tensions between inclusive campus climates and freedom of expression, and to develop ways institutions might better address these issues. The ACE Leadership division continued to provide a rich suite of leadership development offerings as part of its mission to advance a visionary and inclusive community of leaders. The Council’s signature ACE Fellows Program helps ensure that higher education’s future leaders are ready to take on real-world challenges. Through its seats on the GED Testing Service’s (GEDTS) board of directors, ACE continues to provide direction and oversight to GEDTS. The new GED® testing program is designed to help more adults prepare for and earn high school credentials, as well as prepare for success in college and careers. The successes of ACE are only possible with the assistance of our members and supporters, for which we are deeply grateful. Sincerely,

Ted Mitchell Judy C. Miner President Chair, 2017–18 ACE Board of Directors American Council on Education Chancellor, Foothill–De Anza Community College District (CA)

2 ACE LEADERSHIP ACE Leadership provides a robust suite of leadership develop- ment programming aimed to share knowledge, insights, and best practices to expand the capacity of faculty, mid-level adminis- trators, senior administrators, presidents, and chancellors to be effective leaders in a diverse and inclusive global community. Below are some of ACE Leadership’s activities for 2017. ACE Leadership launched the newly created Advancing to the Chief Academic Office workshop October 2–3, 2017 in Wash- ington, DC. The workshop, designed for individuals aspiring to the chief academic officer position within the next two years, brought together over 40 participants in its inaugural convening. The workshop focused on CAO leadership, transitioning to the CAO office, search strategies, curriculum vitae/résumé critiques, mock interviews, and contract negotiations. The ACE Fellows class of 2016–17 held its closing retreat June 5–8, 2017. The sessions focused on campus climate, student success, athletics, legal issues, and change management. The ACE Fellows class of 2017–18 was selected, and 42 emerging leaders will participate in the year-long customized learning experience. Recruitment for the 2018–19 ACE Fellows class involved com- prehensive efforts including outreach to former fellows, mentors, nominators, and hosted receptions in North Carolina, New York City, and Chicago. The Council of Fellows, the alumni group of the ACE Fellows Program, forged ahead with their strategic planning process. Beginning in 2018, the Council of Fellows weekend will convene in conjunction with ACE’s Annual Meeting to encourage greater attendance.

ACE’s Institute for New Chief Academic Officers and Advancing to the Presidency workshop continued to engage record-high numbers of participants in 2017.

Through a $1 million grant from Strada Education Network, the team, along with expert teaching and learning scholars and practitioners, researched the connections between instructional quality, student outcomes, and institutional efficiency. The result of this work is a series of publications—two white papers, a five-chapter book, and a faculty development implementation matrix—and a study of six institutions to assess the impact of pedagogical training on teaching practice. Building on ACE’s multi-year Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation- sponsored Alternative Credit Project™ (ACP), in which an ecosys- tem of alternative credit accepting institutions guarantee accep- tance of nonaccredited provider courses quality assured by ACE, the team utilized a modified ACP data collection tool and process to work with the National Center for Higher Education Manage- ment Systems (NCHEMS) to conduct an impact study on accep- tance of ACE credit recommendations by colleges and universities. Notable collaborations over the past year include a partnership with Ellucian and Eduventures to release a report highlighting institutional exemplars and evidence-based practices in com- petency-based education. Also, the team is working with The Quality Assurance Commons and Shell Oil to develop and test a provider quality assurance framework for professional-level training/learning activities that fall outside the scope of CREDIT and Military Evaluations. A provider QA framework could open up potential new business lines and expand on ACE’s current quality assurance efforts. CEAI developed an external funding and market priorities strategy with Advancement to pursue grant opportunities that support innovations and research on the intersection between prior learning and completion of a postsecondary credential.
