Discover the techniques used in a model for a collaborative discovery process,particularly as it pertains to student services.2.

NowSHEEO is exploring the development of similar indicators with respect tohigher education capital funding and integrating these and other data setsinto a more comprehensive, accessible State Policy Resource Connection(SPRC) system. Through a demonstration of SHEF data and a discussionof capital funding and other key state indicators, this session will explorenew tools to address fundamental questions of financial planning and policy.Learning Outcomes:1. Discuss how per-student state and local support for higher education variesfrom year-to-year, across states, relative to recessions, and over longer time periods.2. Discuss what amounts and proportions of general operating support arederived from net tuition revenues at public institutions and how they vary.3. Explore what methods and policies are used for higher education capital needs,and what patterns and challenges (e.g., deferred maintenance) emerge over time.AIA Credits Possible: 1 LUCPE Credits Possible: 1; Field of Study: Accounting - Governmentaltuesday10:30 am–11:30 am B113Interdisciplinary Facilities: A Programming PrimerIra Fink, President, Ira Fink and Associates, Inc.Convener: Katharine Learned, Director of Facilities, Northfield Mount Hermon SchoolHow do campuses effectively accommodate a multitude of users in abuilding?
