A-29 i **DRAFT**v3 3 UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME DU LAC General Information The University of Notre Dame du Lac (the “University”), founded in 1842 by Father Edward F. Sorin, a priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross, is a private, coeducational, national Catholic research university. Located in Notre Dame, Indiana, the University campus is adjacent to the City of South Bend and is approximately ninety miles southeast of Chicago. The University maintains high academic standards and ranks annually among the most selective universities in the nation. Admission to the University is highly competitive, with approximately nine applicants for each freshman class position. In 2014, of the students for whom high school rank was known, approximately 90% were ranked in the top ten percent of their high school graduating class and 76% of those entering students ranked among the top five percent in their class. The University is organized into the undergraduate colleges of Arts and Letters, Science, Engineering, Business, and the School of Architecture. Three advanced degree schools - the Law School, the Mendoza College of Business, and the Graduate School - complete the academic structure. The University also manages a number of major research institutes, several centers for advanced academic study, and various special programs. Governance The University was founded in 1842 and was officially chartered by a special act of the legislature of the State of Indiana in 1844. Until 1967, the University was governed by a self- perpetuating Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of six members of the Priests Society of the Congregation of Holy Cross. In 1967, the University became one of the first Catholic universities in the nation to transfer governance to a predominantly lay Board of Trustees. Under this structure, the former Board of Trustees was supplemented by the Fellows of the University (the “Fellows”), with a membership governing body of six clerical members of the Congregation of Holy Cross, United States Province of Priests and Brothers, and six lay persons. In addition, the Provincial of the Congregation of Holy Cross, United States Province of Priests and Brothers, the Religious Superior of the Holy Cross Religious at Notre Dame, the President of the University of Notre Dame, and the Chairman of the Board are all ex officio Fellows. The Fellows exercise all power and authority granted by the University’s charter, but have delegated the general powers of governance of the University to the Board, except for certain specifically reserved powers, including the power to elect the Trustees. Trustees are elected by the Fellows for three-year terms of office. Prominent lay persons from the fields of education, business, and public service occupy the majority of seats on the Board. The Bylaws of the University provide that the Board shall have at least thirty, but no more than sixty, Trustees. The Board is required to hold three regular meetings during each academic year, with meetings typically occurring in the fall, winter, and spring. A-1 **DRAFT**v3 4 The Board has established several standing committees and, with certain exceptions, has vested the Executive Committee with all of the powers and functions of the Board for periods between meetings of the Board. Other standing committees of the Board are as follows: the Academic and Faculty Affairs Committee, the Investment Committee, the Finance Committee, the Student Affairs Committee, the University Relations/Public Affairs & Communications Committee, the Committee on Social Values and Responsibilities, the Audit Committee, the Committee on Athletic Affairs, the Governance and Nominating Committee, the Facilities and Campus Planning Committee, and the Compensation Committee.

In this paper, we use a decade of Colgate University Admitted Student Questionnaire surveys to estimate the influence of changes in a school’s USNWR rank on the probability of matriculation. We find that school choice is responsive to changes in rank, that the sensitivity to rank declines at lower ranks, and this sensitivity is independent of other objective measures of quality. The importance of the rankings can also be different for women, minorities, and the highest ability aided students. They have also gotten more important over time for aided students. Our results suggest that it is rational for college administrators to pay attention to their USNWR rank because it is an important factor in yielding accepted students. r 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

Federal Policies for Increasing Socioeconomic Diversity at Selective Colleges and Universities 1 Introduction Earning a bachelor’s degree is increasingly important to an individual’s longer-term economic prospects. Communities, at all levels, also benefit when their members earn postsecondary credentials, through improved economic, social, and health outcomes. Yet, despite an increase in college participation over the last two decades, severe inequities in bachelor’s degree attainment remain; inequities that often leave lower-income and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people of color) students with debt and no or low-value credentials.1 With Democrats coalescing around a number of federal policy interventions, Congress and the Biden administration seem poised to take action to address these inequities and increase attainment.

  • The Chemistry of Art Encouragement Erary Humor
    HAVERFORD Alumni Magazine Fall 2003 II The Classic Scholar-Athlete If you were pressed to describe a “typical” Haverford graduate—if you had to include a description for a time capsule, for example—you would do well to start with Hunter Rawlings. At Haverford, Rawlings was both serious scholar and serious athlete. And his career in academia bespeaks an education steeped in academic rigor, values, a lifelong love for learning, and tools necessary for leadership. One of the things we try to do when we put this magazine together (when we’re not fretting about getting it out six weeks late) is a big-picture inventory of how people, programs, and events have been covered over the years in our own publications. Last winter, we put together an issue devoted to newspaper journalists because it occurred to us that Haverford, for its size and for an institution without a journalism major, seems to have an inordinate number of accomplished newspaper people. When Hunter Rawlings decided to step down from the Cornell presidency and back into the classroom, it presented us with an opportunity to do a story. After some preliminary Jill Sherman Vice President for research, we couldn’t find any stories of note about Hunter and his years at Iowa. Institutional Advancement Nothing about his years at Cornell. The Spring 1966 issue of Haverford College Horizons Stephen Heacock carried a photograph of senior basketball players Dave Felsen, Dave Kane, Rawlings, Editor, Executive Director of Marsh Robinson, and Walt Whitman, along with a short piece about the team’s success.
