This week’s episode of The Key, Inside Higher Ed’s news and analysis podcast, revisits a past discussion about a topic that remains deeply relevant: college mergers and other strategic partnerships.
Events like last month’s merger between Saint Joseph’s University and University of the Sciences in Philadelphia and last week’s news that Antioch University and Otterbein University are teaming up to create a new national system of nonprofit colleges and universities keep this issue in the headlines.
This April 2021 discussion featured John MacIntosh of SeaChange Capital Partners, a driving force behind the Transformational Partnerships Fund; Art Dunning, former president of Albany State University, who oversaw that institution’s merger with Darton State College; and Sister Margaret Carney, president emerita of St. Bonaventure University, who offered a cautionary tale about a merger that didn’t happen—and what went awry.
