Strategic Goal #3: Fiscal Sustainability

Secure Malone’s long-term future by ensuring annual profitability through data-informed decision making. That is, erase the structural deficit and create a fiscally sustainable university with an annual margin of 5%.

Luke 14:28 NLT

“But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it?"

Success Measures:

These success measures are designed to increase the overall net revenue of the University by setting targets and making data-informed decisions strategically on the basis of key sources of revenue rather than on absolute metrics, such as enrollment numbers and team rosters.

  • Annual Profit/Loss statement
  • Increase the amount and percentage of revenue from non-traditional tuition and fees and other sources
