Shrinking Religious Membership Drives Change in Catholic Higher Education Governance

Wednesday, July 19, 2023

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.
