Prioritizing Institutional Needs-Analytical Approaches for Evaluating Instructional Cost
Presenter(s): Diane S. Hergenrother, St. John's University
Convener: J. Thomas Bowen, University of Georgia

To achieve tomorrow's vision, planners must determine a strategic path by prioritizing institutional initiatives. Prioritization is achieved within the context of fiscal constraints. Thus, cost becomes a critical driver in the decision-making process. It is important, therefore, that planners develop analytical tools that provide senior managers with needed information to make informed decisions. This presentation will focus on two analytical tools developed for St. John's University: (1) A Model to Evaluate the Cost of Implementing a University-Wide Core Curriculum; and (2) A Model to Evaluate the Cost of Changing Faculty Workload.
