Fundraising

Tuition hikes are not the only way colleges boost revenue, which is why presidents dedicate a lot of their time to make sure funds are secured by courting donors and hosting fundraisers. One of the top strategies public and private institutions employ is increasing their fund raising activities.

Budgeting

Presidents are also tasked to make sure they are able to manage the budget well. College is expensive and presidents are there to handle financial burdens. They spend time when it comes to budgeting and financial planning duties.
