Even with the most carefully crafted plans, tuition remission can subtly undercut effective implementation of the plan. Automatically awarded tuition remission creates an unpredictable reduction in net tuition revenue, further challenging a school’s already finite resources. Competing financial needs are created (for example, more funds devoted to tuition remission while the school is committed to improving faculty compensation). Last-minute and major adjustments to the strategic financial plan – and, by default, the strategic plan – must be wrenchingly incorporated. The end result: The timely implementation of the goals you have worked hard to develop and build consensus on is disrupted.
