The Myth of the Always Profitable Auxiliary Enterprises - University of Hawai'i at Manoa
This hybrid lecture and guided conversation will explore financial data trends associated with auxiliary enterprises reported to the National Center for Education by four-year postsecondary institutions to evaluate their impact on college affordability, and determine if they are profit centers for their institutions.
Overall, auxiliary enterprises have had higher expenses than revenues since the fiscal year 2009. This trend if not corrected will need to be offset with other funding. As college and university have limited funding sources, the likelihood that some of these budgetary shortfalls will need to be made-up by funding derived from students, suggests that left unchecked these losses will result in a further decrease in the affordability of college.
Taking Control of Textbook Affordability - Madison College
Madison College students raised textbook affordability as a serious concern and set about trying to do something about it. Their recommendation was a textbook rental program. As the College is implementing a textbook rental program, we are asking ourselves, is it too late? Has the publishing world moved to a place where a rental program isn't feasible? To help answer these questions, we will present about our college's commitment to affordability, our approach to textbook affordability, and how we stay on top of a quickly changing industry.
