National Cost Standards-For What Purpose?
Green, John L., Jr.
Cost benefit analysis may in the future become a valuable tool for management in higher education, provided the benefits of acquiring a body of knowledge can be defined. Since higher education is not subject to the disciplines of the marketplace in the sense that private business is, we need to find other reasons for influencing our decisions on the effective use of resources and the benefits derived. Just staying in the black at year-end is not a sufficent measure of successful financial management. The full costs of programs and the benefits derived from these programs must be analyzed.
