Mission and Money: Understanding the University
by Burton Weisbrod, Jeffrey Ballou, and Evelyn Asch
52
This book examines sources of revenue for the higher education industry, from non–degreegranting
career academies to major research universities. Many of these institutions pursue
activities related to their mission that are often unprofitable yet also engage in revenue-related
activities to finance them. However, sometimes the pursuit of finances can conflict with the
central mission of higher learning. Economist Burton Weisbrod and his colleagues address the
rapid growth of for-profit schools and the role of advertising, branding, and reputation, as well as
competitive factors, such as distance education, intercollegiate athletics, and lobbying.
