At Ashland University, we believe that skilled educational leaders must be highly connected to the relationship between and the aims of education.

“The fear of economic and social decline is so great that education reform has become a national agenda wherein critics link American’s preeminence in world markets, gainful employment, and the survival and stability of democracy to the educational system. As school leaders, it is important to understand that school finance is at the heart of the schooling because it requires much money to pay for either the successes or failures of education.”
