Reviews

Massy's in-depth yet highly accessible analysis is a must-read for any academic leader. * Academic Leader * Massy has done an excellent job of explaining the interaction between the university budget, which creates the margin, or the financial return on investment, and the role of teaching and learning being core to the university mission. He spends considerable time helping integrate and resolve the two dimensions of mission and margin. * Canadian Journal of Higher Education *
