New Tools to Evaluate Program Growth

By: Martha L. Casey

Here's an effective analytical framework for evaluating new and low-enrollment programs.

From Volume 26 Number 3 | Spring 1998

Abstract: Describes the quantitative analysis of program array at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in an attempt to evaluate new and low-enrollment programs in a period of shrinking financial resources. The analysis is designed to compare a college or university with its peer institutions. The resulting information can form the basis of policy development for low-enrollment majors, assist in evaluating the need for new programs, or aid in analyzing resources and developing new, consolidated, and/or collaborative programs.

Facilities That Help Pay for Themselves

By: James T. Kienle

Are large, underused buildings a luxury that colleges can no longer afford?

From Volume 26 Number 1 | Fall 1997

Abstract: Reflects on the growing trend to link construction and renovation with income-producing schemes: conferences, institutes, receptions, lectures, and other special events organized by outside groups in need of appropriate facilities. Focuses in particular on retail and hotel accommodations and fitness facilities as primary vehicles for generating revenues.
