College Brain Trust (CBT)

College Brain Trust (CBT)

 

The College Brain Trust, now known as Collaborative Brain Trust, is a comprehensive University and Community College consulting firm able to customize expert teams to meet client college needs.

In August of 2011, College Brain Trust consultants visited the college campuses and district office, met with the college leadership team, and attended a meeting of the board of trustees.

According to Chancellor Tim Meyer, the college was facing a budget shortfall of a little under $40 million per year due to anticipated declines in millage income through 2025. This represented about one-third of the College’s operating budget.

The College went through a year of self-study with committees reviewing academics, student services, and administrative services. The review revealed the need to clarify the roles and responsibilities of campus and district leadership and to strengthen the college’s governance structure.

The College leadership recognized the importance of building a strong culture of evidence in which decisions are informed by data, and hired the CBT to assist the college in an institutional reorganization. **
