Data-Informed Resilience: A Blueprint for Thriving Amid Budget Challenges
Online | January 20, 2026 | 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm ET
Leverage data to make confident academic program decisions, even in the face of mandates, cuts, and rapid timelines.
Event Information
Across higher education today, institutions are placing more emphasis on, and investing in, training leaders on data-informed decision-making as a way to make smarter budget decisions.
In this webinar, we’ll share a case study from Utah Valley University, which received a state legislative mandate that required them to cut $8.9 million from “underperforming programs” and redirect it to “high-yield programs” in just three years. Utah Valley University turned their challenge for budget reallocation into an opportunity that enhanced institutional resilience and competitive edge.
The case study offers translatable and practical lessons on how you can apply data-informed decision-making to:
- Use analytical tools to understand your programs’ financial viability and student outcomes.
- Streamline degree offerings.
- Eliminate inefficient programs.
- Launch high-demand programs like Applied AI.
- Drive enrollment growth.
Who should attend?
This webinar is designed for anyone who wants to learn more about how to make more data-informed decisions around their academic programs. Academic and finance leaders at all levels—including Provosts, Vice Provosts, Deans, department heads, and CFOs—will find benefit.
