A brief description of how the strategic plan or amendment addresses the economic dimensions of sustainability:
The Elon Commitment Strategic Plan is organized around eight themes. One of the themes is stewarding Elon's commitment to remain a best-value university. The key objectives under this theme are: successfully complete the Ever Elon Campaign; implement a strong, creative financial model and at least triple the Elon University endowment. Elon enjoys a remarkable combination of "values and value." The tuition rate is $10,000 - $15,000 below other private universities and within range of non-resident tuition rates at flagship state universities. Elon is committed to guarding that price advantage. The objective to double need-based financial aid, which is under another theme within the plan, also contributes to the economic dimensions of sustainability.
