Press Coverage of the Institute
(Note: Chronicle is accessible by subscribers only.)
College Presidents Hear Warning About Recession
Chronicle of Higher Education, Friday, January 16, 2009
Paul H. O'Neill, President Bush's first treasury secretary, said at a meeting of the Council of Independent Colleges' Presidents Institute that the current recession will be different from past ones, in both depth and length. "This is not a V-shaped recession, where the rate of recovery is the same as the rate down," Mr. O'Neill said. He predicted that the bottom would be reached sometime in the next six to nine months, although he added that "if anyone tells you when we will recover, put your hand over your wallet and look for the door."
At Meeting of Small Private Colleges, Presidents Don't Worry Too Much About the Economy
Chronicle of Higher Education, Monday, January 5, 2009
The No. 1 topic of discussion at the annual gathering here of presidents on the Council of Independent Colleges is, of course, the economy. But it’s not all doom and gloom. Maybe the confident yet cautious outlook of presidents of small private colleges has something to do with the new year and the 80-degree Florida weather. At a session led by Kent John Chabotar, president of Guilford College, in North Carolina, dozens of presidents shared stories about how the recession had had an effect on their campuses.
Additional resources will be posted as they are received.
