Recent events have exposed the precarious nature of institutional finances amid growing challenges and rapid change. For many faculty, this uncertainty has raised questions that impact their ability to effectively engage in scholarship and other roles on campus. What are the major sources of institutional funding and costs, and how have universities reflected their goals and values through their financial decisions? How have trends changed in recent years, and what do those changes mean for our future? What should faculty know about university finances to engage effectively in discussions about how institutions contend with their economic realities while still advancing their missions?
