Stewarding Ƶ’s commitment to remain a best-value university

Key objectives

  • Successfully complete the Ever Ƶ Campaign
  • Implement a strong, creative financial model
  • At least triple the Ƶ endowment

Ƶ enjoys a remarkable combination of “values and value.” The university’s affordable cost is a major strategic asset, providing a tuition rate that is $10,000 – $15,000 below other private universities and within range of non-resident tuition rates at flagship state universities. Ƶ is committed to guarding that price advantage and implementing a balanced financial model.

The goal of The Ƶ Commitment is to complete the Ever Ƶ Campaign and launch the university’s next comprehensive campaign, tripling the university’s endowment by 2020 and building an essential financial base for future generations. A strong and sustainable new financial model will support and maintain Ƶ’s core values as it establishes budget priorities, undergraduate and graduate enrollment growth, tuition increases, new programs and program enhancements, a salary plan, new facility construction, and fund-raising goals.
