“This book is vitally important for understanding the complex financial underpinnings of higher education. Could there be a more critical time for administrators to add to their knowledge in this area? I don't think so.”—Eugene S. Sunshine, senior vice president for business and finance, Northwestern University

“The authors have produced an easily readable and valuable resource for board members, administrators, students, faculty, or anyone interested in knowing about budgeting and the budgeting process. Their treatment of the subject is thorough and complete.”—Larry H. Dietz, vice chancellor for student affairs, Southern Illinois University, Carbondale

“This is the best 'nitty-gritty-how-to' book on university budgeting that I have found. My graduate students at both the master's and doctoral levels have found it to be a comprehensive, insightful, and useful tool in their graduate studies.”—Linda Kuk, program chair, Higher Education Graduate Programs, and associate professor of education, Colorado State University
