SCUPers Harvey H. Kaiser and Eva Klein have recently publishing their book, Strategic Capital Development: The New Model for Campus Investment, with APPA. We've already covered it in SCUP Links, and it is being reviewed for Planning for Higher Education. This brief article includes a link to listen to an 14-minute audio interview with them. Here's a link to the APPA bookstore.

"Even if the recession is over with, the point is we can't go on acting like we can make a $2-billion list of wishes when we know we're only going to get roughly $50-million a year at best," Ms. Klein says in the podcast featured on this page. "It doesn't work. We have to completely stop that behavior and get more realistic for the long run."

The two consultants lay out their vision for a more realistic and holistic approach to campus planning in their new book, Strategic Capital Development: The New Model for Campus Investment (published by APPA). The book guides administrators through a comprehensive process that includes reviewing strategy, assessing needs, laying out a capital plan, dealing with financing, and carrying out the various stages of the plan.
