Guide to College and University Budgeting Foundations for Institutional Effectiveness

Inside this thoughtful monograph, readers will find a brief glimpse into the role of the chief business officer (CBO), how it has evolved, and where it's heading. Interviewees, Patricia Charlton; Nim Chinniah; Mary M. Lai; Wendy B. Libby; James E. Morley, Jr.; Joseph P. Mullinix; and Benjamin F. Quillian, Jr., were asked to answer the same set of questions, and their answers-in their own words-were transcribed into the chapters you are about to read. When developing the questions that eventually "made the cut," it was critical that this monograph remain useful to you, your successors, and your colleagues. Three areas that resonated and came to be the points of focus were the following:1) Career - How they started a career in higher education, what significant influences impacted their work, and how mentors were an important component to where they are today.2) Role - When the role of CBO transitioned to the "inner circle" of the president's cabinet and how the CBO can engage the academic side of the house.3) Future - What the position will look like in 50 years and how the impacts on the profession today will set the stage for the future.You'll read how the GI Bill rapidly expanded the student population on campuses nationwide, prompting institutions to undertake ambitious construction projects and expand staff. Most notably, you'll find that the invisible line between administration and academia has softened in the intervening decades. Along the way, the visibility-and responsibilities-of senior financial officers has risen markedly.

Looking Back, Leading Forward: The Chief Business Officer Through the Years

This is publication is PAPERBACK. Multiple economic and political forces have driven universities to change how they fund and finance education and research during the last 50 to 60 years. The advent of Responsibility Center Management (RCM) in the late 1970s and early 1980s coincided with a poor economy that had adverse impacts on investments, employment, and state revenues. Similarly, the economic recession of 2008-and its lasting effects-prompted many universities to seek greater efficiencies and unleash their entrepreneurs by implementing an RCM system. Authors John R. Curry, Andrew L. Laws and Jon C. Strauss describe the many nuances and techniques institutions can use to implement RCM in this newly revised second edition. They explain that with the right design and active management, RCM can live up to its promises of clarifying roles and responsibilities between local and central units, coupling responsibility with authority, and linking cause and effect through revenue and indirect cost allocations. Along the way, RCM creates a new relationship between the chief business officer and provost. Because RCM allocates new authority and responsibility to provosts and their deans, the accountability line between them is crucial to academic and operational success managed by the chief business officer.
