COLLEGES & UNIVERSITIES
To combat these negative financial pressures, many institutions are exploring a variety of measures and innovative activities, including the following: ∙ Collaborations with other institutions on shared services and facilities ∙ Utilization of technology to reduce overhead and administrative burdens ∙ Integrated degree programs between separate institutions ∙ Enhancements made in technology to deliver learning platforms
Bottom line, colleges and universities need to keep the focus on issues of affordability and value. Every institution—public and private alike— needs a logic for its price, and should be doubling down to create educational quality and services that add value to students’ lives and to society as a whole.
∙ Public/private partnerships
∙ Diversification of revenue streams
∙ Energy efficient facilities
