From Backlog to Balance: Deferred Maintenance Strategies for Campus Leaders
After labor, physical space is the largest expense item on most campuses, and it has only grown in the last couple of decades. As student populations have expanded, the activities of academic and administrative units have changed, and material costs for space and infrastructure have ballooned, with institutions spending $600 per sqft for construction on the average higher ed building—more than double what it was a decade ago.

Roundtable
Cultivating Top Talent – Special Session for Deans
Recruiting top research and faculty talent can expedite expenditure growth and boost an institution's reputation. However, it's often prohibitively expensive and, when done poorly, can create a toxic culture among existing faculty. Investing in developing stars helps grow an institution's research "base" and network of collaborators needed to attract other stars. But, it doesn't always yield desired growth goals, and rising stars often get "poached" by other better-resourced schools.
