COST EFFECTIVENESS As the State University of New Jersey, Rutgers serves over 48,000 students on campuses in the northern, central, and southern regions of the state. While the operating costs of an educational enterprise on this scale are necessarily expansive, it is incumbent on the university to control its costs. Rutgers must provide quality education to the people of New Jersey at the same time being cost-effective in its delivery. The university must run efficiently. Meaningful examination of Rutgers' costs requires an understanding of the university's context. The public-institution members of the AAU are Rutgers' peers. Comparing educational costs of Rutgers with the costs at these peer institutions that have similar missions will yield sound cost analysis. |
