Establishing an Academic Cost Stewardship Culture:
A Practical Guide
This 12-part series offers a high-level approach for developing an academic cost stewardship culture in which high academic quality and the efficient allocation of financial resources are viewed as complementary. For more than 25 years, I have been associated with public and private colleges and universities in various capacities, including more than 60 consulting engagements to refine institutional cost awareness and distributed decision making. Now, I offer this resource to help college and university leaders address the challenges they are facing today, especially those that threaten the financial stability of institutions enduring significant declines in enrollment and decreasing new revenues.
