Course Summary
One of the challenges university leaders face in dealing with financial decision making is that different stakeholders often have dramatically different understandings of financial constraints and opportunities. This is natural, as people spend vastly different amounts of time immersed in budgetary matters. However, because even groups that spend little time on budgetary matters may hold a de facto veto on policy changes, these asymmetries in budgetary knowledge or information can make sound practices harder to agree on. This microcourse identifies some of these problems and presents methods for reducing the understanding gap in budget affairs.
