With the decrease in student registration, reduced government subventions and a downturn in commercial operations, income to the Mona Campus has declined dramatically. At the same time expenditures such as salaries, pensions and standard utility commitments as well as maintenance, subscriptions and increased expenses for technology-related activities and items for online teaching have increased. By reorganising and consolidating work teams and reassigning deliverables, increased efficiencies are expected which will reduce expenditure and increase revenue. Commercial entities and the companies of the Campus are now expected to increase revenue through these consolidations and improved efficiencies. All KPIs for financial health (Cash buffer, Margin and Unit cost) will need to be recalibrated with COVID-19 in mind. Efforts within the Mona Campus Bursary for 2020 to 2022 include increasing commercial operations contributions to the budget by 30% and reducing expenditures by increasing efficiencies in operations through consolidation.
Activities under these Initiatives will be spearheaded by the Campus Bursar, the Campus Registrar, the Business Development Office (BDO) and the Public Private Partnership (PPP) Unit.
Our 7 faculties and 12 professional schools offer more than 200 programmes to some 18,000 graduate, undergraduate and continuing studies students.
