Key Information

History

[edit]

The college has its origin as a theological institute founded by Wesleyan Methodists at Leoni, Michigan, in 1845. This institution merged with Leoni Seminary, another Methodist school, in 1855 to form Michigan Union College. In 1859, that institution closed and its assets were transferred to Adrian "through the efforts of the antislavery leader and educator, Rev. Asa Mahan, who was elected first president of the new Adrian College".[3] The college was chartered by the Michigan Legislature on March 28, 1859. In the early stages of the Civil War the college volunteered itself as a base for the formation of Michigan regiments for the Union side. The current Valade Hall building sits on the site of the former base camp for these soldiers.[4]

A marker designating the college as a Michigan Historic Site was erected by the Michigan Historical Commission.[5] The inscription reads:

Chartered on March 28, 1859, Adrian College traces its origins back to a Wesleyan Methodist theological institute founded at Leoni, Michigan in 1845. This institution later became Michigan Union College. Strongly antislavery in its sentiments, the school was moved to Adrian in 1859 through the efforts of the antislavery leader and educator, Rev. Asa Mahan, who was elected first president of the new Adrian College. The college was transferred to the Methodist Protestant Church in 1868, and here for 71 years, leaders of this denomination were trained. In 1939 a denominational union of American Methodism resulted in the establishment of the Methodist Church. Adrian College is affiliated with this great church body.

An additional marker commemorating Camp Williams and the Fourth Michigan Volunteer Infantry as a Michigan Historic Site was erected by the Michigan Historical Commission.[6] The inscriptions read:

Camp Williams

At the outbreak of the Civil War in early 1861, the trustees of Adrian College offered the use of campus buildings and grounds to the Fourth Michigan Volunteer Infantry for training. This became known as Camp Williams. The city of Adrian donated money to build a mess and dining hall. By early June ten companies of the Fourth had arrived and started their training. The 1,025 soldiers came from Adrian, Ann Arbor, Dexter, Jonesville, Hudson, Sturgis, Monroe, Hillsdale, Tecumseh, and Trenton. On June 21 nearly 30,000 people came to town to see the Fourth depart for Washington. The ladies of Adrian presented Colonel Dwight Woodbury with the regimental flag. Sewn into the flag was "The Ladies of Adrian to the Fourth regiment Defend It."

Fourth Michigan Volunteer Infantry

In spring 1861 the Fourth Michigan Volunteer Infantry departed Adrians' Camp Williams for service in the Civil War. The regiment was assigned to the Army of the Potomac and saw action in forty-one engagements, including Gaines Mills, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Petersburg. The Fourth was one of the few regiments to lose more men in battle than from disease. Out of 1,399 men, 307 died from May 1862 through June 1864. Three colonels died in battle defending their regimental flag: Dwight Woodbury, at Malvern Hill, Virginia; Harrison Jeffords in The Wheatfield at Gettysburg; and George Lumbard at The Wilderness, Virginia. In 1864 the reorganized Fourth trained here, at Camp Williams, once more.

History

Founding and Early Development (1859–1900)

Adrian College traces its origins to the Leoni Theological Institute, established in 1845 by the Wesleyan Methodist denomination in Leoni, , a small community east of Jackson. Renamed Michigan Union College in 1855, the institution enrolled over 300 students, primarily in preparatory programs, but faced financial difficulties and local opposition, including conflicts with a distillery and incidents of attributed to a nearby railroad. In 1859, amid these challenges, the college relocated approximately 60 miles to , with books and assets transported covertly by oxcart under cover of darkness to evade interference. The chartered Adrian College as a degree-granting institution on March 28, 1859, reincorporating the predecessor school under its new name. The Adrian community supported the move by raising $30,000 in funds and donating 20 acres of land. Rev. Asa Mahan, an antislavery advocate, educator, and former president of , served as the first president from 1859 to 1864. The college opened its first semester on December 1, 1859, utilizing North and South Halls, and held its inaugural commencement in June 1860, with a laid for what became known as the Chapel (later Downs Hall). Early operations emphasized theological training within a liberal arts framework, reflecting Mahan's commitment to integrating intellectual and moral , influenced by his involvement in antislavery and movements. The institution admitted women as early as its predecessor phase in 1855, establishing coeducation. In 1866, the main school building was destroyed by fire, posing a significant setback. Mahan resumed the from 1867 to 1871, after which the college transferred affiliation to the Methodist Protestant Church in 1868, training denominational leaders for subsequent decades. Through the late , Adrian College maintained its Methodist ties while expanding its academic scope amid post-Civil War recovery and infrastructural rebuilding.

Expansion and Challenges in the 20th Century

During the early 20th century, Adrian College encountered persistent financial pressures, culminating in the severe challenges of the in the 1930s, described as the institution's most formidable trial. Under President Harlan L. Feeman (1917–1940), a partially constructed gymnasium—termed a "monument to the Depression"—remained exposed until enclosed in 1939, with full completion delayed until the 1950s due to funding shortages. Post-World War II recovery under President Samuel J. Harrison (1940–1954) marked initial expansion efforts, including acquisition of land extending the campus to Michigan Avenue. This set the stage for substantial growth during John H. Dawson's long tenure (1955–1978), which saw the college secure , erect several new buildings, and exceed 1,000 students in enrollment by 1962. Key constructions included Peelle Hall, Stevens Dormitory, and administrative facilities in the early 1960s, alongside the iconic Herrick Bell Tower in 1966. In the latter decades, under President Stanley P. Caine (1989–2005), Adrian College continued infrastructural development with the addition of the Merillat Sports and Fitness Center and expansions to Shipman Library, reflecting adaptive responses to evolving educational demands amid fluctuating enrollments. These efforts helped stabilize the institution, though it grappled with broader higher education trends like demographic shifts and economic variability.

Modern Growth and Institutional Changes (2000–Present)

Under the leadership of Jeffrey R. Docking, who assumed the presidency on July 1, 2005, Adrian College underwent significant revitalization amid prior enrollment declines, growing from fewer than 1,000 students upon his arrival to approximately 1,760 by 2023–2024, including record freshman classes of around 600 in recent years. This expansion was supported by strategic investments exceeding $100 million in , a more than 40% increase in faculty size by 2019, and the doubling of the endowment, enabling the institution to enhance its appeal through new facilities and academic offerings. Institutionally, the college shifted toward diversified programming, introducing select graduate degrees in following sustained undergraduate enrollment gains and expanding into professional fields via partnerships, such as with Rize Education, which facilitated the addition of 27 majors, 13 minors, and 8 certificates—primarily in , , , and healthcare—over five years in the early , representing a 70% increase in offerings. These changes included a move toward hybrid and online modalities, alongside robust athletics programs that contributed to retention and revenue growth of 13% amid regional peers' declines. However, financial pressures in prompted proposals to eliminate programs like , prompting pushback and underscoring tensions between expansion and fiscal sustainability. In the 2020s, Adrian College accelerated innovation with new undergraduate and master's programs in high-demand areas such as , cybersecurity, , , and spirituality/ launched in fall 2025, alongside initiatives like expanded dual-enrollment for high school students to boost pipeline recruitment. Demographic shifts reflected broader institutional evolution, with the proportion of white students declining from 80% in 2010 to 67% by fall 2019, aligning with efforts to attract diverse cohorts. These developments earned Adrian the No. 1 ranking for Most Innovative Regional College in the Midwest by in 2026, highlighting its adaptive strategies in a challenging higher education landscape.

Regionally, the college's athletic programs have garnered indirect institutional visibility through conference-level academic honors, such as 201 student-athletes named to the (MIAA) Academic Honor Roll in 2025, highlighting strong student performance standards.

Academic Program Controversies and Reforms

In September 2020, Adrian College proposed eliminating several programs, including majors in , , , art history, French, German, and Spanish, as well as related minors and faculty positions, citing financial pressures intensified by the and declining enrollment. The announcement, made by President Jeffrey Docking, was framed as necessary to redirect resources toward programs with higher student demand and better financial viability, but it provoked immediate opposition from faculty, who argued it undermined the college's liberal arts foundation and reflected broader administrative neglect of academic quality. Faculty responded with a vote of no confidence in Docking on September 11, 2020, highlighting concerns over opaque financial , poor and retention strategies, a pervasive "" on campus, and prioritization of athletics and extracurricular expansions over core academics. mobilized rapidly, launching petitions and organizing opposition that amassed thousands of signatures and public statements defending the programs' value in fostering and . By late August 2020, following this pressure, Docking reversed the cuts, issuing a statement affirming that no academic programs had been eliminated and committing to their preservation amid national higher education shifts. Post-2020, Adrian College shifted toward program diversification and innovation to bolster enrollment and revenue, launching 27 new majors, 13 minors, and 8 certificates in high-demand fields such as , , , and healthcare between approximately 2017 and , often through partnerships enabling accelerated online and . A key element of this expansion involved collaboration with Rize Education, a for-profit platform co-owned by Docking, which facilitated the rapid addition of professional-oriented curricula like supply-chain management to attract career-focused students. This approach, while credited with program growth, raised questions about conflicts of interest given Docking's dual role and the college's reliance on external vendors for survival amid stagnant traditional enrollment. By 2025, reforms continued with approvals from the Higher Learning Commission for programs in artificial intelligence, high-performance coaching and operations (set for fall launch), spirituality and wellbeing, and expanded MBA specializations in emerging sectors, alongside dual-enrollment agreements for high school students in health sciences. These changes positioned Adrian as a "most innovative" regional college in U.S. News rankings, emphasizing adaptability to workforce needs over traditional humanities depth, though critics from the 2020 episode persisted in viewing them as a reactive pivot away from comprehensive liberal arts education.

Dawson's tenure from 1955 to 1978 marked significant expansion, including accreditation by the North Central Association in 1960 and construction of facilities like dormitories and academic buildings, doubling enrollment to around 1,000 students. Docking's extended service represents the longest modern presidency, focusing on revitalization through athletics investments and program diversification. Adrian College's enrollment grew substantially under President Jeffrey R. Docking, expanding from approximately 840 students upon his arrival in to a peak of 1,865 in fall 2020. Earlier figures included 1,688 students in fall 2017 and 1,862 in fall 2018, reflecting aggressive recruitment and program expansions. By spring 2021, enrollment stood at 1,677, followed by 1,760 total students (1,678 undergraduates and 82 graduates) in the 2023–2024 academic year. Recent trends show stability around 1,700–1,800 students, with fall 2024 undergraduate enrollment at 1,673 and overall figures exceeding 1,800. The college has maintained incoming freshman classes of 600 or more for eight consecutive years through 2024, supporting retention rates near 92% from fall to spring semesters. Over the past decade, average undergraduate enrollment has hovered at 1,736, with undergraduates comprising about 95% of the total student body, though the graduate proportion has increased modestly.

Controversies

Title IX Compliance and Athletic Equity

In 2007, a complaint was filed with the U.S. Department of Education's (OCR) alleging violations in Adrian College's athletics program, including unequal opportunities for women in areas such as equipment, scheduling, travel, coaching, and facilities. The complainant, former coach Lisa Ziegler-Moore, highlighted disparities like inferior facilities compared to and fewer competitive opportunities for women's teams. Following an investigation, OCR determined in 2011 that Adrian College was noncompliant in eight of Title IX's ten program areas for equitable treatment and benefits. The college entered a resolution agreement requiring actions such as equalizing the number of competitive events for men's and women's teams, upgrading facilities, and ensuring equity across athletics operations, including , , and support services. These measures aimed to align the program with Title IX's requirements for nondiscrimination in federally funded education programs. Adrian College maintains a policy prohibiting sex-based discrimination in athletics and other areas, with designated co-coordinators responsible for compliance, including investigations under and the . The athletics department emphasizes gender equity in its compliance guidelines, supporting principles of equitable opportunities without athletic scholarships. As of fiscal year 2023-24, the college fields 14 men's teams and 16 women's teams, reflecting efforts to expand women's programs. Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act (EADA) reports indicate ongoing participation data. In FY 2023-24, undergraduate enrollment was 54% male (880 students) and 46% female (739 students), while intercollegiate athletics headcount was 60% male (546 participants) and 40% female (362 participants). Operating expenses allocated to men's teams totaled $2,096,668 (43% of gendered spending), compared to $1,731,805 (35.5%) for women's teams, with 21.5% not allocated by gender. Similar patterns appeared in FY 2022-23, with 61% male athlete headcount against 54% male enrollment. These figures show female participation below enrollment proportionality, one of Title IX's compliance prongs, though the college reports no recent OCR findings of violations and upholds policies for equal facilities and coaching.

Faculty Misconduct Allegations

In January 2018, Thomas Hodgman, a tenured music professor and choir director at Adrian College, resigned amid renewed public allegations of sexual misconduct from the 1980s, when he served as a high school teacher and choir director at St. Joseph High School in St. Joseph, Michigan. The primary accuser, Joelle Casteix, claimed Hodgman engaged in inappropriate sexual contact with her and another underage female student during that period; Casteix publicized her allegations via a #MeToo essay and advocacy efforts, asserting that Hodgman had admitted to some aspects of the conduct in prior communications. Adrian College officials stated that an internal review found no evidence of misconduct occurring on campus or involving college students, and Hodgman's tenure and membership in the Adrian College Faculty Union limited disciplinary options under collective bargaining agreements, prompting consultations with legal counsel. Hodgman cited "personal reasons" for his departure, and the college emphasized its commitment to a safe environment while declining further comment due to personnel privacy. Victim advocacy group SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) urged Adrian College to terminate Hodgman prior to his resignation and criticized the institution for retaining him despite the resurfaced claims, viewing it as enabling potential risk to students. The allegations also led to Hodgman's removal from a scheduled performance with student ensembles in January 2018, organized by Mid-America Productions, which severed ties amid public pressure. No criminal charges were filed against Hodgman related to the historical allegations, and Adrian College's policy, which complies with , outlines procedures for investigating faculty complaints but does not detail outcomes in this case. Separately, in December 2017, former history professor Stephanie Jass faced charges for unlawfully accessing computer systems after allegedly exploiting a campus-wide password reset to hack into President Jeffrey Docking's email account and review sensitive documents, including faculty evaluations. Jass, a seven-time Jeopardy! champion who had been terminated from Adrian College earlier that year, admitted to the unauthorized access in court; she was sentenced to probation in June 2018, avoiding prison time despite facing up to five years. The incident violated institutional policies and state computer laws, prompting Adrian College to reaffirm the importance of data security. No additional faculty misconduct allegations have been publicly documented since these events.

Public Debates and Free Speech Incidents

In March 2024, Adrian College announced that former swimmer , known for advocating against women competing in women's sports following her tie with at the 2022 NCAA Championships, would deliver the commencement address on May 5. The selection prompted protests from some students and , including a petition from the campus LGBTQ+ group demanding her disinvitation on grounds that her views constituted "transphobia" and hatred toward individuals. Critics argued the invitation violated the college's mission of pursuing truth and ethical inquiry by platforming divisive rhetoric, while supporters viewed it as an opportunity for exposure to differing perspectives on sex-based competition in athletics. College President Jeffrey R. Docking defended the decision, stating that Adrian College "has never shied away from presenting and debating substantive disagreements on campus" and that such events foster critical thinking rather than indoctrination. Gaines proceeded with her speech, emphasizing personal resolve to "unapologetically stand for truth" amid opposition, which drew applause from attendees but no reported disruptions. In a broader statement on free speech, Docking articulated the institution's commitment to exposing students to all viewpoints—left, right, or otherwise—to enable informed decision-making, positioning the college against echo-chamber environments prevalent in higher education. Earlier incidents include a 2012 controversy over inviting singer as commencement speaker, which sparked protests from students objecting to his conservative views on social issues, though the event occurred without cancellation. Positively, in 2022, the college's Institute for Ethics and the Institute sponsored a series of on-campus debates addressing contentious legal and ethical topics, such as and , which participants credited with reinvigorating structured discourse and intellectual engagement among students. These events underscore Adrian College's pattern of hosting speakers and forums on polarizing subjects, often met with calls for restriction but upheld in favor of open exchange.
