The University of Maryland and Rutgers University have accepted invitations
to join the Committee on Institutional Cooperation effective July 1, 2013.
Following the Big Ten Council of Presidents/Chancellors approval of Maryland
and Rutgers’ applications to join the athletic conference, the matter of
CIC membership was referred to CIC Provosts for action. The Provosts, who
govern the CIC, voted unanimously to invite the University of Maryland-
College Park and Rutgers University to join the consortium.
The addition of the University of Maryland and Rutgers University will
increase CIC membership to 15 institutions, which includes the Big Ten
Conference institutions and the University of Chicago. All CIC universities
share a very strong research emphasis. Together CIC universities engage in $
8.4 billion in funded research each year—the addition of these two
universities will push that to $9.3 billion, and will add another 8 million
library volumes and over 5,600 more full-time faculty to the collective
resources of the consortium. In addition, these new colleagues bring
leading-edge collaborative research projects in areas as diverse as
biotechnology, transportation, cyber-security, and food safety research.
CIC Chair and Michigan State University Provost and Vice President for
Academic Affairs, Kim A. Wilcox said, "We welcome Rutgers University and the
University of Maryland, two top-tier public research institutions that
share the academic values, aspirations and challenges of the CIC member
universities."
Said CIC Executive Director Barbara McFadden Allen, “We are excited about
building a bigger, more vibrant collaborative with a larger national
footprint.”
About the CIC: The CIC is the nation's premier higher education consortium
of top-tier research institutions, including the Big Ten Conference members
and the University of Chicago. Through collaboration CIC members save money,
share assets, and increase teaching, learning and research opportunities.
Founded in 1958, CIC members engage in voluntary, sustained partnerships
such as library collections and access collaborations; technology
collaborations to build capacity at reduced costs; purchasing and licensing
collaborations through economies of scale; leadership and development
programs for faculty and staff; programs that allow students to take courses
at other institutions; and study-abroad collaborations. | H**e
