HCM Strategists is pleased to recognize the publication of Higher Education Finance Research: Policy, Politics, and Practice, a new book co-authored by HCM Strategists Partner Martha Snyder and Christopher M. Mullin, Ph.D., of Lumina Foundation.
The book explores the complex intersection of higher education finance, policy, and practice, offering research and perspectives on the funding decisions that shape colleges, universities, and the students they serve. It serves as both a guide for current higher education practitioners and as a textbook for the next generation of policy leaders.
As policymakers and higher education leaders continue to grapple with questions of affordability, access, and student success, understanding how higher education is financed remains critical to developing effective, sustainable solutions.
At HCM Strategists, this work closely aligns with our commitment to advancing policies that improve educational opportunity and ensure higher education delivers meaningful value for students and society. Martha and Chris bring extensive research, policy expertise, and practical experience to a topic that remains central to the future of higher education. It serves as both a guide for current higher education practitioners and as a textbook for the next generation of policy leaders.
To mark the book's publication, Martha and Chris recently participated in a 20-minute conversation highlighting key insights from their work and the broader implications for higher education policy and practice.
