Survey: College & University Budget Outlook Not So Optimistic - Brian C. Mitchell, Huffington Post

In many respects, what a college or university business officer (CBO) thinks about the health of higher education says more about the vitality and sustainability of America’s colleges and universities than the opinions of any other group surveyed. The reasoning is simple. The business officers know where the money comes from and where it goes on a college campus. In this respect, the new findings released in the “2017 Inside Higher Ed Survey of College and University Business Officers“ are sobering. Stated starkly, most CBO’s recognize that American higher education is in the midst of a financial crisis that is different and arguably more persistent than the higher education challenges caused by the Great Recession. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/survey-college-university-budget-outlook-not-so_us_59847818e4b00833d1de274e
