“…Halfpenny (1999) suggests that unconstrained donations create wealth: the value as a charitable giving to a donee exceeds the value kept for the donor ' s own use. Winston (1999) argues that universities are nonprofi t; therefore, they must acquire alternative funding from donations. Donative revenues can be considered an indicator of the institution ' s education performance: alumni who donate are recognizing the role that the institution played in their education.…”

Despite readily available alumni survey data warehoused at many alumni associations and foundations across colleges and universities, researchers have underutilized the abundant available data to identify key predictors of alumni donation, including factors that trigger alumni donation behavior. Utilizing the data from a two-year alumni survey conducted at a Midwest public university, a multivariate causal model that captures the determinants of alumni donation was applied to the data. Four hypotheses were tested. Three were found to be signifi cant.Based on a multivariate causal model that analyzed data from a two-year alumni survey, the fi ndings suggest that alumni fundraisers and higher education administrators may increase alumni solicitations if they collaboratively create a comprehensive communication strategy to reach alumni; focus on current students as future funders, provide quality educational experiences to students; encourage and support relationship building between faculty and current students and graduates; enhance alumni services based on stakeholders needs; and most importantly, redirect and expand efforts to connect with older female alumni.

“…Los sistemas con fuerte diferenciación de su plataforma institucional, amplia diversidad en la provisión, y coordinados competitivamente, son altamente dependientes en su funcionamiento de los recursos y el capital reputacional con que las instituciones ingresan a la competencia (Brunner y Uribe, 2007;Winston, , 1999Winston, , 1998. De allí que estos sistemas planteen con particu-lar agudeza cuestiones relativas a las políticas públicas de fomento y apoyo.…”

Abstract:The author shows how, in terms of access, graduation rates and impact upon adult population, the achievements of Chilean of higher education are similar to those of other countries with average access rates, as can be observed in the World Education Indicators Program. Nonetheless, these achievements are very distant from the average achievements of the OCDE countries.

“…An institution's subsidies often present obstacles to student entry. In examining the economics of entry, however, Winston (1999) contends that the efficiencies of private, for-profit schools lower the cost of higher education. The proprietary sector readily competes with traditional public and private, nonprofit institutions by providing education at a lower cost or price that is frequently viewed by the customer as different, better, or more appropriate.…”

“…Almost from out of the shadows, proprietary schools have uniquely positioned themselves to capture growing numbers of students, a vast majority of whom are awarded federal financial assistance (Chaloux, 1995;Grubb, 1993;Lee, 1996). Still, the literature has been mixed as to whether proprietary schools are friend or foe to customary forms of higher learning ("Sizing Up the Competition," 2001; Grubb, 1993;Pusser and Doane, 2001;Winston, 1999).…”
