Fulfilling the academic mission of Kent State is critical to ensuring our current and future financial success. The Division of Academic Affairs must be strategic in allocating resources to provide the greatest return to students, faculty, and the university. By establishing and monitoring a data-driven, transparent, and centralized decision-making process, the Division of Academic Affairs will optimally align expenses with strategic goals of the university. Doing so will require units to use a combination of strategies that adjust overall expenditures, identify revenue-generating opportunities, and enhance private fundraising.
