liberalarts collaboration future shared_academics

  • The group is also starting to share some academic programs. Despite stretching a geographic area of more than 300 miles, five colleges in the consortium -- University of Charleston, Bethany College, Davis & Elkins College, Emory & Henry College and West Virginia Wesleyan College -- are launching a shared remedial math program next year.
  • Small colleges across the country have formed several partnerships to share faculty in certain fields. Languages have proven particularly popular. This week a group of five liberal arts colleges in Texas announced that they would be teaching languages across the institutions using video conferencing software. The Wisconsin Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, many of which are regional in orientation and don’t show up high on the U.S. News rankings, also has some resource sharing programs in place.

    "there's nothing like a crisis to make you rethink who your friends are, which was evident in the conference itself and organizers' calls for further discussion about these issues. It is also evident among those institutions that have had a longer and deeper struggle, which have begun integrating in significant ways. The Independent College Enterprise, a group of nine small colleges in West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Massachusetts, has been collaborating on administrative services since the late 1990s. The group pooled resources to purchase shared administrative software, which the presidents in the organization estimate to have save each campus millions of dollars since it was purchased."
