ACTA is proud to present “Four Financial Questions Trustees Must Ask,” the latest episode in our Higher Ed Now multimedia series for trustees. In this three-part program, University of Colorado regent Stephen Ludwig speaks with ACTA’s Director of Trustee Programs Armand Alacbay about the need for trustees to seek out timely and accurate financial data about the institutions they serve. Ludwig shares his insights on issues including unrestricted cash funds, increases in athletic spending, and classroom utilization, and provides practical advice for trustees to remain engaged and informed on fiscal issues.

Higher education has taken a beating lately. The industry has been roiled by seemingly endless crises on topics ranging from affordibility and student debt to free speech and antisemitism. It is hardly surprising that public confidence in higher education has plummeted, as over two-thirds of Americans now believe it is headed in the wrong direction.
Launched in 1995, we are the only organization that works with alumni, donors, trustees, and education leaders across the United States to support liberal arts education, uphold high academic standards, safeguard the free exchange of ideas on campus, and ensure that the next generation receives an intellectually rich, high-quality college education at an affordable price.
