This study investigated how private colleges and universities responded to the 2007--2009 Great Recession and whether the strategies they used contributed to their financial recovery. Ellen Chaffee's (1984) two models of strategy, the adaptive model (e.g. securing resources to ensure the organization's survival) and the interpretive model (e.g. valuing the importance of culture and symbols to the organization), served as the theoretical framework for this study. The sample for this study consisted of 20 institutions that were either members of the Pacific Consortium of Liberal Arts Colleges or the Consortium of Liberal Arts Colleges. Some of the sample institutions were members of both groups. The overall design of this study was a qualitative approach using interviews. The researcher calculated and used the Composite Financial Index, a comprehensive financial assessment tool developed by KPMG, Prager, Sealy & Co., LLC, and Bearing Point, Inc., to classify institutions in two equally sized groups: more resilient and less resilient.

520 $a This study investigated how private colleges and universities responded to the 2007--2009 Great Recession and whether the strategies they used contributed to their financial recovery. Ellen Chaffee's (1984) two models of strategy, the adaptive model (e.g. securing resources to ensure the organization's survival) and the interpretive model (e.g. valuing the importance of culture and symbols to the organization), served as the theoretical framework for this study. The sample for this study consisted of 20 institutions that were either members of the Pacific Consortium of Liberal Arts Colleges or the Consortium of Liberal Arts Colleges. Some of the sample institutions were members of both groups. The overall design of this study was a qualitative approach using interviews. The researcher calculated and used the Composite Financial Index, a comprehensive financial assessment tool developed by KPMG, Prager, Sealy & Co., LLC, and Bearing Point, Inc., to classify institutions in two equally sized groups: more resilient and less resilient.
520 $a This study found that both more and less resilient institutions utilized adaptive strategies. The study did not find, as hypothesized, that less resilient institutions used primarily adaptive strategies. Less resilient institutions also used interpretive strategies, however, not to the same extent. The researcher observed the following factors which influenced financial resiliency: (1) the presence of significant financial challenges prior to the crisis or ignoring the crisis constrained financial resiliency, unless mitigated by other factors; (2) significant endowment dependence constrained financial resiliency, unless mitigated by other factors; (3) saving millions of dollars and transferring to reserves during the crisis by more resilient institutions enhanced financial resiliency; and (4) multiple cost reduction and revenue enhancement activities that produced significant dollars contributed towards financially resiliency.
520 $a Several lessons can be learned from this study including: (1) how an institution responds to a crisis is as important as the response itself; (2) within financial crises there are opportunities to improve the institution; (3) it is important to assess the problem thoroughly before implementing solutions; (4) be wary of responses with unintended consequences; and (5) preparation for a crisis is a important component of successful management of a crisis.
