Hi Janet and Todd, Thanks so much for your comments; ideally the budget is everyone's business and our academic staffs are the closest to the revenue source - out students! It is imperative to train our school employees on how all positions and departments affect budgetary outcomes. One particular area comes to mind - our instructors are the link to our students: the classrooms and labs that they manage, the skills that they teach, the outcomes they assess and the professional relationships they develop with students all affect student retention - and student retention is a business measure!
