Today, Catholic colleges and universities are dealing with critical questionsabout what constitutes Catholic collegiate identity. Based on their research,Morey and Piderit describe the present situation and offer concrete suggestions for enhancing Catholic identity, culture, and mission at all Catholic colleges and universities. The authors define the critical issues and analyze and address them by using the rich construct of culture, particularly organizational culture; and they provide four different models of how Catholic colleges anduniversities can operate and successfully compete as religiously distinctive institutions in the higher education market.
