Mount Holyoke AD Andrea Ricketts-Preston joins D3.ticker’s Anthony Grassi to discuss her first 90 days in the chair, managing the transition, the vision for athletics and lots more. Ricketts-Preston began her tenure with the Lyons remotely as her wife had just had a baby when she accepted the position at the beginning of the year. The combination of personal and professional transitions allowed her to have three different “first 100 days” remotely, over the summer and then to start the fall semester. On what that transition may have meant for her staff: “I think that that showed the staff that I was transparent and honest from the beginning. They needed someone, based on the transitions that they were going through as a department and a college, to be somebody who was all in and they absolutely deserved that.So I made the commitment to actually travel to South Hadley twice a month until we were able to actually move. […] They were going through a lot of transitions too and they needed somebody who was invested fully and I think by showing them who I was as a person helped them build their trust and faith in me that I was the right person. While this was serving a personal piece for me that was very important, I felt that, like I said, that just showed some genuine commitment on my part where they could feel that reciprocated.” As part of the college’s new strategic plan, athletics will see more investment with full-time ACs for all NCAA teams. “One of the reasons that this position was so appealing to me was that growth potential and being able to chart a new path. I think in combination with President Holley's vision and the support that she's given so far and also the CFO has given so far, we have amazing opportunities that hopefully we'll begin to see payoff in the next couple of years.” Full conversation on BOSCA.

Catholic is facing a $30M structural deficit, as President Peter Kilpatrick wrote in an email last week: “The core of our financial challenge lies in the revenue we earn from tuition, which has declined by 24% since 2018. During this same period, our costs have continued to rise, with instructional expenses increasing by 12% and student services by 53% (this latter number includes not only student life and athletics expenses, but also enrollment management, admissions, and marketing and communications). Over the past decade, we have used financial reserves and special endowment draws to maintain operations as we saw our revenues decline and our expenses grow. These reserves are now depleted, and we can no longer rely on them or large special endowment draws to address our structural challenges.” Kilpatrick says CUA is exploring new revenue opportunities including online or hybrid offerings in addition to cutting salary increases next month from 4% to 2.5%, a selective hiring freeze and $8-9M in spending reductions.

A trio of researchers from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia have released a new model for predicting institutional closures and those at the greatest risk. The machine learning model that most accurately predicted closures between 2002 and 2023 was used to predict what may happen with the looming enrollment cliff that could see a 15% decline in enrollment between 2025 and 2029. If the drop-off is immediate, “there could be as many as 80 (142 percent of the average annual closures) additional closures. On the other hand, a gradual decrease in enrollment equivalent to the demographic cliff would result in a predicted annual increase in the rate of closures of 4.6 (an increase of 8.1 percent over the average annual closures).” Full report.
