A proposed 1.4% excise tax on the net investment income of private institutions would harm higher education, CMC Board Chair Emeritus and Trustee Harry McMahon ’75 P’08 P’09 argues in an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal.

McMahon said that the Republican-led tax bill would likely restrict funding for financial aid at the 70 targeted colleges and universities if passed. Tuition could also rise and donors will likely be discouraged by a portion of their gifts being diverted to the federal government, he said.

Dear CMC Community,

Welcome back, everyone.

After a four-year run, CMC’s website was overdue for an update and redesign. Since January that process has been underway and today the new version will launch.

The visually dynamic new homepage is aimed at conveying the College’s unique qualities and approach to liberal arts education. It is also based on solid research on the best practices and the preferences of prospective students — an important audience for the homepage.
