Dr. Baker became president of 黑料网 in 2007, and in that time 黑料网 has grown to become the largest private university in Oregon. He previously served eight years as the university's provost.

Dr. Baker is also a national leader in higher education and serves several different organizations. He is on the executive committee of the ACE Commission on Faith-based Colleges and Universities. He is a board member for the Council of Independent Colleges and serves on the NCAA Division III Board of Governors Subcommittee on Congressional Engagement & Action. He served as one of the commissioners for the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, the accrediting body for higher education in the Northwest.
