Integrating Strategic Finance and Endowment Management

By: Philip Taylor,Roger C. Hewins III,William F Massy

A new paradigm will help colleges and universities achieve financial equilibrium.

From Volume 26 Number 2 | Winter 1997–1998

Abstract: For too long, the authors contend, endowment management strategies have not been linked with overall financial management at most colleges and universities. Advocates a comprehensive, objective approach to financial planning and management which does not separate investment management from the other financial management operations of the institution. Discusses potential goals for design and implementation of integrated strategic financial planning and investing, including a five-step process for investment management.

Higher Education: America’s Vital Investment

By: Jeffery Olson

It’s enormously productive and beneficial. And it pays for itself. University leaders should stop being so defensive.

From Volume 26 Number 2 | Winter 1997–1998

Abstract: Asserts that campus officials have spent too much time apologizing for higher education’s costs, when instead they should be marshalling evidence to demonstrate the very real returns investment in higher education has for society and for individuals. Reviews recent research on higher education and productivity and stresses the contribution colleges and universities have made to the development of physical capital and an educated workforce. Higher education is expensive, and in many cases its benefits are not immediate; yet the author contends that ultimately, institutions of higher education pay for themselves.
