WASHINGTON, July 19, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges (AGB) published Relationship Reconsidered: Catholic Universities and Their Changing Governance Structures. Based on a survey conducted by the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities (ACCU), the report describes how a growing number of religious sponsoring organizations have acknowledged their shrinking populations and are consequently modifying the governance structures and policies they use to support Catholic postsecondary education.

Key Points: 
  • A college or university can only be considered Catholic if a religious organization authorized by the Catholic Church officially "sponsors" the institution.
  • These religious organizations, often congregations, religious orders, or dioceses, typically hold some level of authority for the oversight and governance of the sponsored institution.
  • "In the past two decades, we have seen enormous changes in both the Catholic Church and higher education," said Holtschneider.
  • "The decrease in religious vocations for sponsoring communities and the sector-wide disruption of higher education put many Catholic institutions in a double bind.
