Balancing the Business of Higher Education With Your Educational Mission
In light of the economic downturn, and in spite of the benefits yielded from the economic stimulus plan, institutions of higher education continue to face significant operational challenges, including:
- Reduced endowment spending draws and the impact on scholarships;
- Increasing competition for qualified students;
- Increasing institutional operating expenses;
- Meeting debt covenant compliance requirements; and
- Compliance with Department of Education composite scoring.
