Strategic Plan - Fiscal Planning Goals
Ensure the fiscal integrity of MFS as a great school. Rationale The school operates on a balanced annual budget of $11 million. The school's balance sheet is healthy and includes no debt. At the same time, MFS operates with 10-20% less revenue (when calculated on a per student basis) than its peer institutions. Strategies Determine what, in light of this Plan, it means be a “great” school, both in fact and in the public perception. This effort will include a study to determine market demand and a marketing plan for promoting MFS. Determine what new or expanded expenditures are required to meet the programmatic goals outlined in the Strategic Plan. Expenditures in the following areas would be included: physical plant repair and replacement; faculty salaries and benefits; enhancements to the academic program; faculty/staff expansion to lighten loads; technology; and financial aid. Consider retaining consultants to help with this process. Use financial equilibrium model to determine expense impacts over the planning period. Determine to what extent increasing tuition and/or expanding enrollment can/should be a source of additional revenue. Determine to what extent additional revenue can be secured through non-tuition sources, including increasing endowment, annual giving, and auxiliary programs.
