Most university leaders acknowledge that the old university economic model—ever rising tuition rates combined with ever growing federal research funding keeping pace with ever expanding university budgets—will not work in the future. Most administration and finance executives know that the future is now and are scrambling for solutions.

To our mind, their challenge can best be described as "building the ship while sailing": administration and finance executives somehow have to transform university business performance—radically reduce university costs, cultivate new revenue streams, elevate service delivery—while at the same time attending to the nuts and bolts problems that crop up in the day-to-day operations of any university.

The University Business Executive Roundtable provides its member executives with expert advice and innovative strategies and practices—tested and proven to work by their peers at other universities across the country—for tackling their most pressing issues. Rather than reinventing the wheel, our administration and finance executives benefit from the learning of thousands of other universities facing the same challenges.
