Commissioned by Strada Education Fund, this brief examines the role of assessing institutional financial management strategies given their direct relationship to student success.

Limited financial resources due to the nation’s economic recession and increased calls for improved degree productivity to meet civic and labor market demands as well as shifting demographic patterns create a challenging environment for postsecondary leaders and place a premium on sound institutional practice.
