2020 Annual Conference | July 2020

Congress, COVID-19, and the Colleges

By: Terry Hartle, Senior Vice President, Government Relations and Public Affairs, American Council on Education (ACE)

This session will explore the policy and political climate in Washington DC, discuss current and potential policy changes, and encourage you to consider how these will impact your institution.
Abstract: As the start of the 2020–21 academic year approaches, America faces a series of unprecedented challenges: the worst public health crisis since 1919, the worst economic environment since 1933, and the worst civil unrest since 1968. Public policy-makers have so far struggled to respond to this rapidly changing environment. How will the federal government's actions affect colleges and universities? What other governmental policies might ameliorate these challenges on campuses? This session will explore the policy and political climate in Washington DC, discuss current and potential policy changes, and encourage you to consider how these will impact your institution.

Improving the Student Experience Through Interdepartmental Planning and Collaboration

You will learn techniques to improve communication between departments that historically work independent of each other, along with opportunities for future interdepartmental partnerships that improve student success.

Understanding the Effects of State Oversight and Fiscal Policy on University Revenues

Considerations for Financial Planning

By: Gabriel Ramon Serna

This article outlines the ways in which increased state oversight and restrictive state fiscal policies have affected public four-year college and university revenue structures, highlights how these policies introduce new considerations for institutional financial planners, and outlines some possible institutional responses.

From Volume 41 Number 2 | January–March 2013

Abstract: This article surveys the impact of state oversight and fiscal policy on universities’ revenue structures with special attention to tuition and state appropriations. It highlights the difficulties that arise for financial planners who face increasing state oversight, diminishing state support, and significant reliance on increases in tuition and fees. It also considers the impacts of restrictive state fiscal policies on financial planning. The author suggests that as institutional planners seek out the factors affecting revenues, it is sensible for them to consider the consequences of state oversight and state fiscal policy in their assessment of the internal and external fiscal environments.
