Leadership transition TMU has had multiple leadership changes recently, including President Emir Caner’s ouster and a transition to Dr. Larry Lyon in 2026, accompanied by a campus-wide investigation. This presents an opportunity to offer onboarding, executive coaching, and change-management services to stabilize leadership and communication with stakeholders.

Governance risk Recent trustee disputes and a filed lawsuit over employment contract termination indicate governance and compliance risk. This could drive interest in risk management, policy auditing, HR compliance solutions, and trustee education programs to mitigate future disputes.

Digital engagement TMU launched the TMU Parent Portal and utilizes a modern tech stack (iCIMS, Google Tag Manager, JSON-LD, etc.), highlighting a receptiveness to digital platforms. This suggests opportunities to offer student and parent engagement tools, CRM optimization, and analytics services.

Revenue growth Reported revenue in the $10M–$25M range with a mid-market footprint. This indicates potential for scalable technology, fundraising enablement, donor management systems, and donor analytics to support growth and diversification of revenue streams.

Strategic partnerships Placement within a network of regional higher-ed institutions alongside a focus on teaching excellence and religiously-centered mission suggests opportunities for partnerships, shared services, and collaborative programs with sister colleges and local organizations to expand impact and enrollments.
