August 30, 2023 – Watch this enlightening Webinar On Demand as we explore the findings of a comprehensive nationwide study, conducted by Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider, CM, and Nadine Jalandoni, examining the governance documents of approximately 200 Catholic universities. The report describes the newly adopted governance structures and early evidence of their advantages and challenges.
The decline since the 1970s in the number of priests and religious women in religious orders that founded Catholic colleges and universities has led lay faculty and administrators increasingly to become the stewards of Catholic higher education. Nevertheless, founding orders have endeavored to retain control over these institutions by overseeing the appointment of lay trustees and reserving key governance powers to themselves even while ceding ordinary operational matters to lay board oversight.
June 13, 2023 – Watch this Webinar On Demand to explore how some institutions are successfully building or revising shared governance structures to support the need for change while strengthening campus-wide governance and culture.
