This research paper requires interviewing a college or university chief financial officer, institutional budget officer or their designee to frame and discuss the major financial issues and challenges faced by their institution, and how the institution is addressing and/or might address these challenges. Students may find that the most efficient resource is to interview the same CFO or budget officer interviewed for the Budgeting and Planning Paper project. The student will research the higher education industry context of one of the issues that emerges from the interview. Each student will turn in 8 pages paper on this topic. This research paper must include a description of the institution where the “Befriend (ed) CFO” works, using qualitative and quantitative data to define the institution, discussion of the issues and challenges, and a detailed analysis of the higher education industry context of one of the issues which may include economic, structural and/or legislative components in the analysis. Finally, the research paper must include a summary of the various possible responses to the issue, including the impact of each response. Please use the other three documents file for data from Moore College.
