Download or read book Financing Public Higher Education written by David J. Pappone and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To explore the impacts on public universities of implementing an incentive-based budgeting system, this dissertation focuses on one university’s extensive experience with Responsibility Center Management. The financial and non-financial impacts of Responsibility Center Management will be considered by examining the extent to which commonly held beliefs about Responsibility Center Management are supported by empirical data. Interviews with twenty-one key leaders at the University of Minnesota are the primary data source for understanding the extent to which actual experience supports common beliefs about Responsibility Center Management. Review of financial and other quantitative data, as well as internal documents, also inform the investigation. Responsibility Center Management is found to have a multitude of impacts on the finances and culture of an institution, and interpretation of these impacts is often dependent on one’s philosophical views on public higher education. By understanding the actual outcomes and potential pitfalls associated with Responsibility Center Management, university leaders are better informed as they navigate the challenging road ahead for public higher education.

Download or read book Student Financing of Higher Education written by Donald Heller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-07 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The financing of higher education is undergoing great change in many countries around the world. In recent years many countries are moving from a system where the costs of funding higher education are shouldered primarily by taxpayers, through government subsidies, to one where students pay a larger share of the costs. There are a number of factors driving these trends, including: A push for massification of higher education, in the recognition that additional revenue streams are required above and beyond those funds available from governments in order to achieve higher participation rates Macroeconomic factors, which lead to constraints on overall government revenues Political factors, which manifest in demands for funding of over services, thus restricting the funding available for higher (tertiary) education A concern that the returns to higher education accrue primarily to the individual, rather than to society, and thus students should bear more of the burden of paying for it This volume will help to contribute to an understanding of how these trends occur in various countries and regions around the world, and the impact they have on higher education institutions, students, and society as a whole. With contributions for the UK, USA, South Africa and China this vital new book gives a truly global picture of the rapidly changing situation

Download or read book Funding Mechanisms for Higher Education written by Douglas Albrecht and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This discussion paper examines mechanisms through which governments allocate resources to higher education, particularly in developing countries, in order to establish effective means to transfer these subsidies to institutions. The discussion of funding mechanisms develops within the context of three major types of government restrictions which have had an impact on institutional behavior: (1) controlling student enrollments; (2) imposing high financial dependency on universities through prohibiting revenue diversification; and (3) imposing restrictions on the extent to which institutions are able to allocate their funding as they see fit. These restrictions have resulted in institutional deterioration. The challenge is to find a way to grant universities more autonomy over decision making while ensuring accountability to the providers of the funding. One solution is seen in the use of buffer funding bodies that lie between the government and the institutions. Another solution is to change the criteria for allocation of resources. The paper goes on to review the experience with different categories of funding criteria. The paper also looks at Chile's approach which has been to transfer funds via students through loans or grants rather than directly to institutions. Included are numerous tables and 38 references.
