"Indiana University Bloomington each year selects faculty members with distinguished leadership ability to participate in the Academic Leadership Program (ALP) sponsored by the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), a consortium of the 11 universities of the Big Ten conference plus the University of Chicago.
Academic Leadership Program fellows for the 2010-11 academic year include Yvette Alex-Assensoh of the Department of Political Science, Howard S. Rosenbaum of the School of Library and Information Science, Michael Rushton of the School of Public and Environmental Affairs and Andrea S. Wiley of the Department of Anthropology. Faculty members are nominated for ALP participation and chosen because their records of scholarship and significant university service point to their growing achievements as academic leaders.

The Committee on Institutional Cooperation and the Academic Leadership Program: Throughout the CIC's 52 years of effective voluntary cooperation, it has proved to be an effective mechanism for enabling its members to accomplish more by working collectively. The primary objective of the Academic Leadership Program is to develop the leadership and managerial skills of faculty who have demonstrated exceptional ability and administrative promise."
