Zurp;937145; said:I didn't go to a Big Ten school. So I don't know about this. But what does academics have to do with the conference? Sure - I know you want "fine, upstanding" universities in your conference, and that's fine. I agree with that. But I wouldn't have thought that those would be that hard to find. What am I missing?
All members of the Big Ten, along with the University of Chicago, are also members of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation.
CIC: Committee on Institutional Cooperation - About CIC
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to advance academic excellence by sharing resources and promoting and coordinating collaborative activities across the member universities.
WHAT WE DO
The CIC universities collaborate in such activities as sharing access to study abroad offerings, coordinating large scale purchases and electronic licenses, creating programs for professional development, coordinating access to library materials, and building shared data networks.
Our work is focused on three areas of dynamic, evolving collaboration: (1) national leadership for higher education; (2) combining, leveraging and expanding resources of member universities; and (3) expanding learning opportunities by sharing unique courses and programs.
