Strengthening Long-Term Financial Sustainability through Multi-Year Modeling and Scenario Analysis
Brian McNeill – Vice President, CFO & Treasurer, Molloy University
Michael Nicolescu – Director of Client Success, Synario
Financial sustainability in higher education is no longer a theoretical concern. It is a strategic imperative. Institutions across the eastern region are navigating structural pressures including enrollment volatility, tuition dependency, rising compensation costs, deferred capital needs, and increased scrutiny from boards and rating agencies. These are not short-term disruptions; they are long-term structural realities that require deeper financial visibility.
Learning Objectives
- Differentiate between short-term financial balance and long-term structural sustainability.
- Identify common blind spots that emerge when institutions rely solely on static or single-scenario forecasts.
- Apply multi-year scenario modeling techniques to evaluate enrollment, compensation, capital, and debt trade-offs.
- Assess structural risk through sensitivity analysis and assumption stress-testing.
