{"product_id":"9781581073164","title":"Case Studies in Higher Education Fundraising","description":"In a world of uncertainties, particularly in higher education, one thing is certain: fundraising is vital to the operation, and even survival, of universities-private and public. Higher education leaders realize tuition revenue and legislative support alone will not build a great university, and only through private gift support can substantial endowments be built and scholarships provided for students, endowed faculty chairs and professorships created, and capital support to maintain bricks and mortar-not to mention the importance of annual giving which can provide unrestricted support for an institution. Private gift support is essential for any organization to advance in today's highly constrained resource environment.\u003cbr\u003eThe case method of study has been around since the time of Cicero and can be in contrast to other teaching methods. These cases do not have 'right' and 'wrong' answers or easy solutions. They present team members and students with an opportunity to explore multiple avenues under difficult circumstances. The cases in this book are complex and difficult, and team members and students will need plenty of questioning to absorb the complexities and nuances of each case.\u003cp\u003eIncludes These Case Studies, by Institutional Type:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommunity College\u003cbr\u003eCommunity College Donor Dilemma \/ 5\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComprehensive Regional University\u003cbr\u003e Angry Heirs \/ 47\u003cbr\u003eBeware of Arbitrage \/ 115\u003cbr\u003eCommunity College Donor Dilemma \/ 5\u003cbr\u003ePerils of Life Insurance \/ 87\u003cbr\u003ePhilanthropy Intersects with Eminent Domain \/ 155\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eResearch University\u003cbr\u003eAthletics and Academics \/ 73\u003cbr\u003ePaying for the Campaign \/ 19\u003cbr\u003eProtection of Donor Information \/ 141\u003cbr\u003eSystem and Campus Administration \/ 61\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrivate College\/University\u003cbr\u003eDemise of a College \/ 127\u003cbr\u003eInternal Strife \/ 183\u003cbr\u003eThe Lost Merger \/ 197\u003cbr\u003eThe Vanishing Name \/ 169\u003cbr\u003eTwo Donors, One Building \/ 33\u003cbr\u003eWhite Elephants and Gifts that Eat \/ 101\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Forums Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47063444979952,"sku":"9781581073164","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781581073164_p0.jpg?v=1763779651","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781581073164","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
