WASHINGTON, DC -- The National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (NAICU) has presented former Congressmen Michael E. Capuano (D-MA) and Robert W. Goodlatte (R-VA), founding co-chairs of the Congressional Independent Colleges Caucus, with the Association’s 2019 Award for Advocacy for Independent Higher Education.

The NAICU Advocacy Award was established to recognize individuals outside of academe who have championed the cause of independent higher education. Whether in government, business, or philanthropy, the winner of this award has provided leadership, established resources, or enacted policy at the state or national level that recognized the role of independent colleges and universities in serving public purposes.

“Mike Capuano and Bob Goodlatte have long understood the important role private, nonprofit colleges and universities play in preparing students for a lifetime of success,”  NAICU President David L. Warren, Ph.D.  “Their support as members of the House of Representatives to increase federal student aid spending to help students and families has been immeasurable.  Leading the effort to establish the Congressional Independent Colleges Caucus has gone a long way to help educate Members of Congress about the challenges and opportunities facing private colleges.”

Launched in February 2017, the Congressional Independent Colleges Caucus offers Members of Congress an opportunity to both celebrate and advance the diversity of the nation’s private, nonprofit colleges and universities, and learn about the challenges and issues these institutions face. The Caucus serves as an informal group of members dedicated to addressing the issues related to private, nonprofit colleges and the students they serve, while educating other members on the issues facing independent colleges and universities. Establishing the Congressional Caucus fulfilled a longtime NAICU organizational goal.

Representatives Goodlatte and Capuano first joined forces in higher education policy to express bipartisan concern about a proposal from the Obama Administration to rate each college in the nation with a letter grade indicating their performance based upon a set of federally prescribed metrics. From those initial conversations, they discovered Goodlatte’s rural Virginia district and Capuano’s urban Massachusetts district had a common asset—a disproportionately high number of colleges whose contributions to the educational, cultural and economic life of their local communities were absolutely essential. Their efforts contributed to a marked change of course by the Department of Education and students were spared the confusion of a letter grade rating for colleges and universities.

Capuano retired from Congress in December 2018, after serving ten terms as a member of Congress representing Massachusetts’ Seventh Congressional District, which includes most of Boston. He was a member of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Committee on Financial Services. Prior to serving in Congress, Capuano was the Mayor of Somerville, MA (January 1990–99). He earned a bachelor’s degree from Dartmouth College (NH) and a law degree from Boston College Law School. Capuano’s humor and down to earth demeanor helped earn him a distinguished reputation as a commonsense policymaker who has the ability to work across party lines to accomplish his goals.

Massachusetts’ Seventh Congressional District is home to 21 private, nonprofit colleges and universities, enrolling nearly 68,000 undergraduate students and more than 50,000 graduate students, and employing 37,500 people. Statewide, there are 76 four-year private, nonprofit colleges and universities enrolling 283,000 students and employing 110,000 faculty and staff. Massachusetts is the only state in the country that educates more students at private independent colleges than at public colleges.

Goodlatte retired from Congress in December 2018, after serving 13 terms as a member of the House of Representatives from Virginia’s Sixth Congressional District, which includes Roanoke, Harrisonburg, Lynchburg, and Staunton. He served as Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee from 2013–2018, Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee from 2003–2007, and served on the House Education Committee for a number of years. Goodlatte is a graduate of Bates College (ME) and the Washington and Lee University School of Law (VA). Despite high turnover rates on Capitol Hill, Goodlatte’s office was well known for its deep comradery among staff, a reflection on his own personal leadership strengths. His reputation as a thoughtful policymaker paved the way for many working, bipartisan relationships, in addition to various positions of leadership within the Republican caucus.

Virginia’s Sixth Congressional District is the home to 12 private, nonprofit colleges and universities, enrolling more than 50,000 undergraduate students, and directly employing nearly 11,500 people. Statewide, there are 28 private colleges enrolling 130,000 students and employing 32,500 people.

David L. Warren, Ph.D., Accepts 2019 Henry Paley Memorial Award from National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (NAICU)

David L. Warren, Ph.D., Accepts 2019 Henry Paley Memorial Award fro...

February 06, 2019

The Henry Paley Memorial Award recognizes an individual who embodies a spirit of unfailing service toward the students and faculty of independent colleges and universities. The recipient of this reward has set an example for all who would seek to advance educational opportunity in the United States. Henry Paley was president of the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities of New York from 1975 until his untimely death in 1984.  He possessed a larger than life personality and was an important force in support of private, nonprofit colleges and universities in New York

Warren has announced his retirement effective June 30, 2019.

From growing up a product of the Manhattan Project in Richland, WA to hitchhiking across the country in hopes of writing the great American novel; from crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge with civil rights leaders in 1965 to establishing new programs in legal aid, mental health, day care and community co-ops while executive director of Dwight Hall at Yale University; and from living in the dormitories as the new president of Ohio Wesleyan University to presiding for 25 years as the president of NAICU, Warren’s indefatigable optimism, unwavering faith in the human spirit, and strong sense of purpose, have been guiding forces.

Warren began his tenure as NAICU president in 1993, after nearly a decade as president of Ohio Wesleyan. A tireless crusader for America’s private, nonprofit colleges and universities, Warren, just the third president in NAICU’s history, is regarded as one of the most persuasive and influential voices for higher education within Washington, DC. Throughout Warren’s life, and through his career in local politics and higher education, he also saw firsthand the power and life-changing benefits of education. He saw that education could be an equalizer. According to OWU, the Ohio Wesleyan Magazine, Warren saw that “the most basic difference between the haves and have-nots is education.”

Warren, who has been awarded over two dozen honorary degrees, has been cited for his efforts “to restore proposed cuts in federal student aid, gain tax relief for college students and their families, and reduce intrusive and burdensome federal regulations of colleges” (Middlebury College). Warren has also been described as “one of the most respected and effective leaders in American higher education” (Kentucky Wesleyan College) and his achievements epitomize higher education’s central role in personal empowerment and the public interest (The Sage Colleges).

Warren’s time at NAICU has been marked by several significant policy achievements that have benefited colleges and universities, students and families, and communities around the country. Some examples include:
  • Spearheading the Student Aid Alliance, an ongoing campaign of 86 higher education associations focused on expanding student aid. Since its launch, federal spending on student aid has increased significantly, and the Pell Grant maximum award has increased from $2,340 to $6,195. Today, student aid enjoys strong bi-partisan support.
  • Advocating for tax benefits, including 529 Plans, tuition credits and deductions, and deductibility for student loans, which have provided billions of dollars in tax benefits to help students and families afford a college education.
  • Co-chairing the National Campus Voter Registration Project which, in each presidential and congressional election since 1996, has engaged the nation’s campuses in the political and electoral process. Creating CampusCares, an initiative to gain national recognition for the community service and civic engagement contributions by America’s colleges and universities.
  • Creating the University & College Accountability Network (UCAN), a major national effort to enhance consumer access to comparative information on colleges and universities.
  • Organizing a successful nationwide movement to eliminate unprecedented and intrusive regulatory language from Part IV of the Higher Education Act of 1992 (SPRE).
Taking a leadership role in the passage of the post 9/11 GI Bill, with its provisions for the participation of independent higher education through the Yellow Ribbon Program, which promotes college choice for veterans by providing supplemental matching funds to institutions that cover additional tuition costs for students. The bill has served as a model for how the federal government can promote greater affordability for students by partnering with colleges.

As president of Ohio Wesleyan he achieved significant growth and innovation in many key areas. This included increases in applications and retention, annual giving, faculty compensation, facility construction and renovation, and upgrades to dormitories, classrooms and laboratories. However, one of his lasting, and signature, initiatives was launching the National Colloquium, a major curricular/co-curricular innovation that annually explores an issue of national and international significance from multiple educational angles. To this day, the Colloquium forges links between liberal arts learning and the lifelong civic art of informed, involved citizenship.

Civic engagement and participation have been hallmarks of Warren’s career. In the 1960s, he organized and directed an Experimental College for Yale students and residents of New Haven. In the 1970s, he served on New Haven’s Board of Alders and the city’s Planning Commission. In the 1980s, Warren renovated a dorm on the Ohio Wesleyan campus for the purpose of intergenerational living and learning, starting with 62 apartments for students and retirees. Continuing through today, Warren remains the guiding force in helping colleges and universities register their students to vote through the National Campus Voter Registration project, which contributed to the increased student engagement and turnout for the past two decades.

However, one of his longest-lasting and most significant endeavors was creating the Summer Project initiative while executive director of Dwight Hall at Yale. The Summer Project, now over 50 years old, links Yale students and community organizations in innovative partnerships serving the surrounding communities.

Whether advocating and providing avenues for students and communities to embrace learning, community-building, and civic awareness or living the example himself, the values, experiences, collegiality, and lifelong benefits of higher education have been cornerstones of Warren’s professional and day-to-day life. They are key reasons for his continuing optimism in the human spirit.

Warren’s additional service to higher education includes holding a variety of positions at Antioch University, including senior vice president and university provost. He also held administrative and faculty positions at Yale University.

Warren earned a B.A. in English from Washington State University, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He earned master’s degrees in both divinity and urban studies from Yale University, and a Ph.D. in higher education administration from the University of Michigan. He was also a Fulbright Scholar in India and a Rockefeller Fellow at Yale.

From Washington State to Washington, D.C., Warren has seen the challenges facing private, nonprofit higher education up close and in-person for over 5 decades. No challenge has been too great, no hurdle too high. By developing appropriate strategies and forging coalitions to successfully implement those strategies, Warren has been a forceful, effective, and unapologetic advocate for independent higher education and the students and communities they serve.

Through it all, David Warren continues to see education as the great equalizer and remains The House Optimist. 
 
With more than 1,000 colleges, universities, and associations as members, NAICU serves as the unified national voice of independent higher education and reflects the diversity of private, nonprofit higher education in the United States.  Our member institutions include major research universities, church-related colleges, historically black colleges, art and design colleges, traditional liberal arts and science institutions, women’s colleges, two-year colleges, and schools of law, medicine, engineering, business, and other professions.
 
The Henry Paley Memorial Award recognizes an individual who embodies a spirit of unfailing service toward the students and faculty of independent colleges and universities. The recipient of this reward has set an example for all who would seek to advance educational opportunity in the United States. Henry Paley was president of the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities of New York from 1975 until his untimely death in 1984.  He possessed a larger than life personality and was an important force in support of private, nonprofit colleges and universities in New York

Warren has announced his retirement effective June 30, 2019.

From growing up a product of the Manhattan Project in Richland, WA to hitchhiking across the country in hopes of writing the great American novel; from crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge with civil rights leaders in 1965 to establishing new programs in legal aid, mental health, day care and community co-ops while executive director of Dwight Hall at Yale University; and from living in the dormitories as the new president of Ohio Wesleyan University to presiding for 25 years as the president of NAICU, Warren’s indefatigable optimism, unwavering faith in the human spirit, and strong sense of purpose, have been guiding forces.

Warren began his tenure as NAICU president in 1993, after nearly a decade as president of Ohio Wesleyan. A tireless crusader for America’s private, nonprofit colleges and universities, Warren, just the third president in NAICU’s history, is regarded as one of the most persuasive and influential voices for higher education within Washington, DC. Throughout Warren’s life, and through his career in local politics and higher education, he also saw firsthand the power and life-changing benefits of education. He saw that education could be an equalizer. According to OWU, the Ohio Wesleyan Magazine, Warren saw that “the most basic difference between the haves and have-nots is education.”

Warren, who has been awarded over two dozen honorary degrees, has been cited for his efforts “to restore proposed cuts in federal student aid, gain tax relief for college students and their families, and reduce intrusive and burdensome federal regulations of colleges” (Middlebury College). Warren has also been described as “one of the most respected and effective leaders in American higher education” (Kentucky Wesleyan College) and his achievements epitomize higher education’s central role in personal empowerment and the public interest (The Sage Colleges).

Warren’s time at NAICU has been marked by several significant policy achievements that have benefited colleges and universities, students and families, and communities around the country. Some examples include:
  • Spearheading the Student Aid Alliance, an ongoing campaign of 86 higher education associations focused on expanding student aid. Since its launch, federal spending on student aid has increased significantly, and the Pell Grant maximum award has increased from $2,340 to $6,195. Today, student aid enjoys strong bi-partisan support.
  • Advocating for tax benefits, including 529 Plans, tuition credits and deductions, and deductibility for student loans, which have provided billions of dollars in tax benefits to help students and families afford a college education.
  • Co-chairing the National Campus Voter Registration Project which, in each presidential and congressional election since 1996, has engaged the nation’s campuses in the political and electoral process. Creating CampusCares, an initiative to gain national recognition for the community service and civic engagement contributions by America’s colleges and universities.
  • Creating the University & College Accountability Network (UCAN), a major national effort to enhance consumer access to comparative information on colleges and universities.
  • Organizing a successful nationwide movement to eliminate unprecedented and intrusive regulatory language from Part IV of the Higher Education Act of 1992 (SPRE).
Taking a leadership role in the passage of the post 9/11 GI Bill, with its provisions for the participation of independent higher education through the Yellow Ribbon Program, which promotes college choice for veterans by providing supplemental matching funds to institutions that cover additional tuition costs for students. The bill has served as a model for how the federal government can promote greater affordability for students by partnering with colleges.

As president of Ohio Wesleyan he achieved significant growth and innovation in many key areas. This included increases in applications and retention, annual giving, faculty compensation, facility construction and renovation, and upgrades to dormitories, classrooms and laboratories. However, one of his lasting, and signature, initiatives was launching the National Colloquium, a major curricular/co-curricular innovation that annually explores an issue of national and international significance from multiple educational angles. To this day, the Colloquium forges links between liberal arts learning and the lifelong civic art of informed, involved citizenship.

Civic engagement and participation have been hallmarks of Warren’s career. In the 1960s, he organized and directed an Experimental College for Yale students and residents of New Haven. In the 1970s, he served on New Haven’s Board of Alders and the city’s Planning Commission. In the 1980s, Warren renovated a dorm on the Ohio Wesleyan campus for the purpose of intergenerational living and learning, starting with 62 apartments for students and retirees. Continuing through today, Warren remains the guiding force in helping colleges and universities register their students to vote through the National Campus Voter Registration project, which contributed to the increased student engagement and turnout for the past two decades.

However, one of his longest-lasting and most significant endeavors was creating the Summer Project initiative while executive director of Dwight Hall at Yale. The Summer Project, now over 50 years old, links Yale students and community organizations in innovative partnerships serving the surrounding communities.

Whether advocating and providing avenues for students and communities to embrace learning, community-building, and civic awareness or living the example himself, the values, experiences, collegiality, and lifelong benefits of higher education have been cornerstones of Warren’s professional and day-to-day life. They are key reasons for his continuing optimism in the human spirit.

David L. Warren to Retire in 2019 after 25 Years as NAICU President

David L. Warren to Retire in 2019 after 25 Years as NAICU President

November 15, 2018

NAICU in the News
The NAICU Board of Directors today announced that President David L. Warren, Ph.D, is retiring from the Association after 25 years, effective June 30, 2019.
 
Dr. Warren, who began his tenure as NAICU president in 1993, after nearly a decade as president of Ohio Wesleyan University, informed the NAICU Board of Directors of his retirement plans during its annual Fall Leadership meeting in Washington, DC.  Dr. Warren is just the third president in NAICU’s 42 year history.
 
“At every step in his professional life in higher education, a career that has spanned nearly five decades, David Warren has consistently put the needs of students at the forefront of his efforts,” said Andrew Benton, president of Pepperdine University, chair of the NAICU Board of Directors, and co-chair of the search committee tasked with identifying the next president. “During the past twenty-five years, David has been able to organize and mobilize an extremely diverse membership, one that has grown in every year he has been president, representing schools of all sizes and missions from around the country.  In a time of immense partisanship in Washington, DC, NAICU, together with its members, has been able to realize significant federal policy results for private, nonprofit colleges and universities and, more importantly, the students they serve.”
 
“It has been a true privilege to work with colleges and universities and to visit their campuses and meet with students,” said Dr. Warren.  “Together, we have fought to ensure that federal policy works in the best interests of our institutions and students.  I am proud of the fact that, working collaboratively with the National Association of Independent College and University State Executives, the NAICU Secretariat, our members, their students, others in higher education, and policy makers we realized critically important gains in federal financial aid, protecting the independence of our institutions, and achieving tax relief to help students and families afford a college education.”
 
Highlights of Dr. Warren’s efforts while president at NAICU include:
  • Spearheading the Student Aid Alliance, an ongoing campaign of 86 higher education associations focused on expanding student aid.  Since its launch, federal spending on student aid has increased significantly, and the Pell Grant maximum has increased from $2,340 to $6,195.  Today, student aid enjoys strong bi-partisan support.
  • Advocating for tax benefits, including 529 Plans, tuition credits and deductions, deductibility for student loans, which have provided billions of dollars in tax benefits to help students and families afford a college education.
  • Co-chairing the National Campus Voter Registration Project which, in each presidential and congressional election since 1996, has engaged the nation’s campuses in the political and electoral process.  The 2018 midterm election reported the largest student turnout on record.
  • Creating CampusCares, an initiative to gain national recognition for the community service and civic engagement contributions by America’s colleges and universities.
  • Creating the University & College Accountability Network (UCAN), a major national effort to enhance consumer’s access to comparative information on colleges and universities. Today, there are nearly 600 college and university profiles in the national network.
  • Taking a leadership role in the passage of the Post 9/11 GI Bill, with its provisions for the participation of independent higher education through the Yellow Ribbon Program, which promotes college choice for veterans by providing supplemental matching funds to institutions that cover additional tuition costs for students.  The bill has served as a model of how the federal government can promote greater affordability for students by partnering with colleges. 
“From his days as a campus leader at Washington State University to his presidency at Ohio Wesleyan and his leadership at NAICU, David Warren’s legacy as a visionary and effective voice and advocate for higher education is clear,” said Jo Allen, president of Meredith College, vice chair of the NAICU Board of Directors, and co-chair of the search committee.  “Few people have dedicated as much time, energy, and resources to the future of higher education as David.”

“David Warren is a remarkable leader,” said Ted Mitchell, president of the American Council on Education.  “Throughout his career, David has stood for the very best that American higher education represents. He has been a champion for equity and access, and has promoted initiatives that ensure that higher education remains an engine of social mobility. All of us are in David’s debt, and we will miss him dearly.”

The search committee, co-chaired by Benton and Allen, includes members of the NAICU Board of Directors’ executive committee and NAICU senior staff.  The search committee will work with a search firm to determine Dr. Warren’s successor.
 
“David has been the voice of America’s private, nonprofit colleges and universities in Washington for the past twenty-five years,” said Benton.  “We look forward to identifying the next person who will serve in that role, continue the policy work that has come to define NAICU’s excellence, and lead the association during the next phase of its history.”

NAICU President David Warren Statement on The Student Right to Know Before You Go Act (S. 2169/H.R. 4479)

NAICU President David Warren Statement on The Student Right to Know...

June 07, 2018

Late last year, the Student Right to Know Before You Go Act (S. 2169/H.R. 4479) was introduced by Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR), Marco Rubio (R-FL), and Mark Warner (D-VA). All three have advocated for improved student data, and the latest bill seeks to use improved technology to bypass a central federal database in order to ensure that student privacy is protected. A companion bill has been introduced in the House by Representatives Duncan Hunter (R-CA), Andre Carson (D-IN), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), and Scott Peters (D-CA).  Thomas Rooney (R-FL) is also a co-sponsor. 

David L. Warren, president of the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, issued the following statement on the proposal:

“For the past decade, there has been a protracted debate between privacy advocates and those who support the creation of a federal student level tracking system for purposes of educational evaluation.  A solution that protects student privacy while also providing more detailed insights into certain policy questions seemed elusive, at best.  The Student Right to Know Before You Go Act has the potential to make the assessments policymakers desire, but would do so without creating a permanent federal data repository on each individual U.S. student.

“NAICU believes it is essential to protect the privacy of students and their educational records.  For over four decades, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) has guaranteed that students retain the right to control their own educational records. Under this federal law, institutions of higher education are subject to strict privacy requirements in their role as temporary custodians of student records. Congress should not take this essential control away from students and parents.

“There are still many unanswered questions about the feasibility of the new technology and the capacity of both the Department of Education and colleges to implement the system envisioned by the Student Right to Know Before You Go Act. But Senators Wyden, Rubio and Warner, along with Representatives Hunter, Carson, Fitzpatrick, Peters and Rooney, should be applauded for looking for an alternative that prioritizes student privacy. NAICU supports further exploration regarding the cost, effectiveness and feasibility of this new approach, and believes it has the potential to solve the privacy issues that have been central to our concerns with previous proposals.”
