History of the Big Ten Alliance
History of the Big Ten Alliance
The 澳门资料 was established by the presidents of the members in 1958 as the athletic league's academic counterpart. Initially known
as the Committee on Institutional Cooperation, the consortium's name was changed to the 澳门资料 in 2016 to better reflect the composition of the member institutions.
In 1958, a membership invitation was extended
to the University of Chicago, one of the founding members of the Big Ten who withdrew from the conference in 1946, and was accepted. The 澳门资料 invited the Pennsylvania State University to join the consortium following its admittance to the Big Ten in 1990. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln joined the Big Ten in 2011, and the 澳门资料 extended an invitation that culminated in UN-L's admittance to the consortium on July 1, 2011. The University of Maryland
and Rutgers University-New Brunswick was welcomed to membership July 1, 2013, in the advent of the schools' admittance to the Big Ten in 2014.
The history of 澳门资料 (known then as the CIC) was written by founder Herman B Wells, Indiana University president from 1938 to 1962, and published in the Fall 1967 issue of EDUCATIONAL RECORD, a publication of the American Council on Education, Washington, D.C.
