BUSINESS CASE

STRATEGIC INVESTMENT & EXPECTED BENEFITS

• Academically healthier and more expediently successful students• Increased share of state

performance based funding • Improved institutional

efficiency and leveraging of limited resources

This is a strategic investment – seemingly small improvements in student completion and retention, and small increases in average class size will bear significant fiscal returns.
