Community College Finance: A Guide for Institutional Leaders

I purchased this for class but overall I will say that it is an easy read, informative and not nearly as dry as you would expect based on the topic :)

This is a good overview of community college finance from the perspective of the leaders of the organization. Community Colleges are at a unique point in history now. There is a greater emphasis on technical education, something community colleges do well, But there are also issues facing community colleges that are unique to them; variable funding, enrollment that fluctuates and low degree completion. This book takes those challenges and discusses how to make your community college right for the future. Easy to read, and accessible even to those who do not have backgrounds in finance.

Comprehensive resource on how community college finance works. It's well written, carefully referenced, and easy to understand.

This isn't bad per se but is simply not what I originally anticipated; I was looking forward to a professional level overview but instead, this is clearly a foundational work intended for college students. It has end of chapter review questions and does a good job presenting a solid overview of the issues but lacks the detail, insight and future orientation for current practitioners.
