This conference volume (2006) is the second in the TIAA-CREF Institute Series on Higher Education and is based on presentations from the 2005 TIAA-CREF Institute Conference.
Managing institutions of higher education has always been a balancing act as campus leaders address business issues while staying true to their institutions’ academic missions. Recently emerging internal and external factors have brought new challenges to the way institutions are managed, including: changes in federal and state funding levels: rapidly evolving demographics on campuses and in the workforce; and higher expectations and changing demands from a wide and diverse group of stakeholders.
In this volume, higher education leaders explore the challenges facing colleges and universities operating in the current budget environment and they discuss a variety of strategies and solutions being employed to help ensure the ongoing vitality of America’s colleges and universities.
