Celebrating a Record Recruiting Year,
Campus Crusade for Christ Sets The King�s College on its Own Feet

NEW YORK, Aug. 23, 2010�The King�s College, after an extensive nationwide search, enthusiastically announces former White House policy analyst and best-selling author Dinesh D�Souza as the school�s new president. D�Souza previously served as the John M. Olin Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and the Robert and Karen Rishwain Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.

Located in the Empire State Building, The King�s College is a Christian liberal arts college that educates students to bring competitive Christian ideas to positions of leadership in the institutions of government, civil society, media, law, education, business, the arts, and the church. The King�s College is listed by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute as one of the top 50 colleges for conservatives and was included in the list of top conservative colleges last year by the Young America�s Foundation.

Named by the New York Times Magazine as one of America's most influential conservative thinkers, D'Souza is a model of the ideal King�s College graduate�a leading voice that influences public opinion and public policy with ideas that compete with generally accepted, but failed ideas.

�We are thrilled to welcome D�Souza as the new president,� said Andy Mills, interim president of The King�s College. �D�Souza is well-equipped to lead, inspire and equip students to address the issues of the world with a confident, articulate voice.�

With the 2010 fall semester beginning August 25, D�Souza assumes his position immediately.

�I�m coming back to the issue I started with 20 years ago,� said D�Souza, author of Illiberal Education, an expos� of the problems in higher education. �I want to be a part of the solution and The King�s College is an exciting part of that solution.�

�Our goal at The King's College is to prepare intellectually-gifted students to transform society by preparing them for careers in which they help to shape and eventually to lead strategic public and private institutions. We love it when our graduates bring transformation to the key institutions of society�business, law, politics, academia and media," said D�Souza, who is listed by the World Affairs Council as one of the nation's 500 leading authorities on international issues.

For twelve years, Campus Crusade for Christ supported The King�s College as it established itself as a world-class facility that equips and empowers students to successfully assume significant leadership positions in society. The King�s College has experienced double digit growth several years in a row and expects more than 400 students this fall, including 215 new students enrolled for the fall of 2010. King�s commitment to an excellent education builds on a core curriculum of Politics, Philosophy, and Economics � the foundation for the College�s reputation for academic excellence. The average SAT score of the incoming freshman class is 1900, on par with some of the top colleges in the country.

The King�s College�s Board of Directors and Campus Crusade for Christ�s Board of Directors recently voted to begin a process toward launching The King�s College as an independent entity.

�With full ownership and new leadership, The King�s College has the opportunity to focus exclusively on its mission of educating biblically-based thinkers poised to produce change throughout society,� said Steve Douglass, president of Campus Crusade for Christ. �We�re proud to be a part of the history of The King�s College and to have played a role in helping it become what it is today.�

Founded in 1938 and re-established in New York City in 1999, The King�s College exists to challenge broadly-accepted ideas in higher education through a rigorous academic program�guided by Christian principles�that equips and empowers students to successfully assume significant leadership positions in society. The King�s College is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. For more information, visit www.tkc.edu or call (212) 659-7200.
