Improving Institutional Performance


Appendix

Appendix:  Recent References to Performance Obligations and Revenue/Cost Pressure

To illustrate the relevance and timeliness of the six institutional performance obligations in Table 1, the matrix below cross-indexes them (as “relevance” columns numbered 1-6 in the matrix) to a list of websites, reports, books, papers, and news articles (as rows in the matrix). The references are also indexed for their direct relevance to the revenue/cost pressure facing many nonprofit colleges and universities (represented by the last column in the matrix).  The intent is not to recommend an impossibly long reading list, but to provide verifiable evidence, in addition to the footnotes embedded in the body of the article, that improving institutional performance is arguably higher education’s most pressing issue, one that cannot be responsively addressed without using technology to contain or reduce unit costs while measurably improving the targeted performance indicator(s).
