(CC-86) Making Square Initiatives Fit Into Round Numbers: Integrating Long-Term Revenue Plans With Ambitious Strategic Plan Goals
Presenters: Dixon B. Hanna, Associate Provost, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University; Dwight M. Shelton, Vice President/Budget and Financial Management, Virginia Tech; Ken Smith, Finance Officer, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
Recent Virginia legislation has given more autonomy for senior state universities with the expectation that they will demonstrate effective long-range planning. In response, Virginia Tech developed a six-year revenue plan of restrained tuition increases and moderate state support. The resulting financial plan was fully integrated into the university's recent update to its strategic plan. Academic and administrative leaders who worked together to align ambitious long-term program goals with the realities of available resources will share their experiences and results.
