Evangel AD Dennis McDonald will transition out of his current role at the end of the semester after eight-plus years leading the Valor. President Mike Rakes: "Dr. Dennis McDonald laid a foundation and we are poised to continue to use athletics to shape Christian men and women for a lifetime of championships. Dennis hired many of our current coaches and saw our student athlete overall GPA rise throughout his tenure. He also played a role in the early fundraising states for EU's new athletic arena and fieldhouse Valor Center, a campaign prompted by a $10 million gift from the Green family, owners of Hobby Lobby and Mardel."

Multnomah President Jessica Lynn Taylor sits down with CCC Commissioner Rob Cashell to talk about the university’s merger with Jessup and its path forward. Taylor emphasizes the like-minded mission of both institutions allowed for a deal to get done quickly, with the time between her meeting JU President John Jackson and a signed deal taking a little more than a month. On athletics specifically, she notes the Lion branding and colors will remain, adding: “There's no talks right now about changing any of that space and I think that our coaches and the way that they pour into our students again is so much a part of that college experience, so much a part of their discipleship and development and so we want to see that still continue. Dr. Jackson is really in support of that. Their athletic director has come here and we've been able to dream about different changes that we'll be able to make in terms of our gym or our athletic space or the different resources that we'll have when we combine and we talk to one another, even from the athletic advancement space to say how do we raise funds for athletics. They do a really great job of that. They are excellent at that so we're so excited to learn from them as they've already paved the way in a lot of these spaces of how to really be world class teams. We hope to continue to follow in that direction.” This semester, Taylor’s focus is stability for students and staff, with a focus in the future on “explosive growth.” More. (link)

Moody’s Investors Service assigns higher education a “stable” outlook for 2024 and projects that “revenue gains will materialize across multiple sources as the residual impacts of the pandemic wane” and “expense growth will moderate as inflation cools, preventing further deterioration in operating performance for most of the sector.” Specifically, Moody’s forecasts revenue growth of 4% and adds: “The outlook could move to positive if revenue growth significantly overtakes expenses, supported by material strengthening across multiple sources. A negative outlook could materialize if revenue stagnates and expense growth fails to slow, leading to further erosion in sectorwide operating performance.” (link)
