Overview
The current economic crisis is putting tremendous pressure on university budgets. Reduced endowment income, cuts in state budgets, and reduced ability to pay are creating significant challenges for institutions struggling to meet increasing student expectations.
Resource allocation is a challenging exercise in good economic environments and even more so when times are difficult. Aligning an institution's budget with its top priorities results in more effective allocation of limited resources and allows for sustainable progress through a variety of economic conditions.
Join us online to learn about resource allocation approaches that:
- Link institutional planning efforts with practical budgets
- Provide decision-making frameworks for investing in academic and administrative programs
Who Should Attend
Administrators involved in planning and budgeting will learn how to allocate resources intentionally and in a mission-centric way.
