Questions from the Board How do we create a sustainable tuition

(revenue) and cost model for the future? Where are our future opportunities? Can we consistently raise tuition forever?

What are our limits? How do we continue to raise salaries if growth

is difficult as the demography of students change?

How will the digital age change our system? Will we become a truly learner-centered

environment?

Academic Portfolio AnalysisAn analytic tool that identifies program risk according to budget contribution and student interest

Maxims to Live By Work with an abundance rather than a scarcity

model. Skimp on quantity not quality. Take the long view. Stop doing something! Obscurity is not useful. Look outward to see where you can be of service. Focus on collaboration, not competition. This too shall pass. Celebrate small successes. Trust your people.

Consider Your FacultyLifting the human spirit is critical.

Focus on productive work. (Teaching, advising, sharing)

Only burden them with what they can legitimately address – someone should get to sleep at night.
