Each TICUA member president is invited to select one senior campus official to participate as a Pressnell Fellow in the 2025-26 Institute.Some presidents have selected Fellows based on their perceived potential for presidential leadership, while others have chosen Fellows to further develop leadership skills for key campus positions.

| | | Colleges and Universities Must Report Certain Foreign Gifts and Contracts |
|
| In light of recent enforcement activity, institutions of higher education should review their reporting and disclosure obligations related to foreign entities and individuals under Section 117 of the Higher Education Act (20 U.S.C. § 1011f). Failure to comply may lead to federal enforcement actions with administrative and civil penalties, including potential loss of federal funding. |
|
| |
| Education Dept. Prioritizes Foreign Gifts and Contracts Enforcement for Colleges, Universities |
|
| The Trump Administration stated last week that it will prioritize compliance and enforcement against colleges and universities with respect to the U.S. Department of Education (ED)'s foreign gift, contract and ownership disclosure regulations in Section 117 of the Higher Education Act (Section 117). Section 117 obligations generally require that colleges and universities report semiannually to ED regarding certain gifts and contracts from foreign sources valued at $250,000 or more, either individually or combined. Institutions must also report foreign ownership and control. |
