Welcome to the Council of Chinese American Deans and Presidents (CCADP)!
Formally established in 2008, our young organization has grown tenfold in its membership in little over a decade. The organization is committed to advancing the welfare of our members in higher education administration through cultivation and promotion of leadership skills, professional collaboration and career advancement.
Asian Americans, including Chinese Americans, are disproportionally underrepresented in American higher education leadership landscape. Asian Americans represent 6 percent of the U.S. population, 7 percent of the college student enrollment and 11 percent of the American professorate. However, less than 3 percent of higher education administration posts and only 2 percent of the college presidencies are occupied by Asian Americans. CCADP is one among many affinity groups within a wide range of Asian American communities. Asian Americans possesses abundance of leadership qualities and a deep pool of talent that are currently under-utilized. As Chinese Americans - the largest ethnic group within the Asian American community, members of CCADP take as our responsibility to contribute to diversifying and strengthening American higher education leadership and serving as role models for future generations of Asian American leaders.
We look forward to working with colleagues and friends within and beyond the Asian American community to increase the representation of all underrepresented minority groups in higher education. I invite you to explore the CCADP website to learn more about the organization and how we might be able to work together. Please feel free to contact me or any member on our Board of Directors.
Sincerely,
Phil He

Preamble
The Council of Chinese American Deans and Presidents (CCADP) views diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as an asset to maintaining the preeminence of American universities, and promotes DEI of all Americans, including Chinese Americans, as academic leaders. These promotional efforts set diversity as a priority to create an environment of equity and inclusive excellence for students, faculty, staff, and alumni from different backgrounds. More importantly, these efforts are crucial in developing multicultural capacities that enrich the educational experience of students and better prepare them to live and work competently in an increasingly pluralistic society and a global economy.
The members of CCADP share a unique set of cultural values, traits, experiences, and beliefs in addressing challenges and opportunities facing the American higher education. CCADP aims to contribute to DEI in its broadest terms in higher education and commits to the success of its members through the organization’s mission and supportive functions.
