College financial planners are responding to political and economic uncertainty by sharing services across states and designing programs for individuals with some college experience but no degree. CBOs are adapting to unpredictable federal policies, economic shifts, and fluctuating student demands. They aim to understand broader institutional needs and influence policy, such as changes to the endowment tax and student loan repayment reforms. Long-term planning is challenged by uncertainty and short presidential terms, with spending priorities reflecting alignment with state government.
CBOs thrive on certainty, and they're just not getting it right now, with the flurry of executive orders and policies that are announced and then rescinded shortly after or stopped by restraining orders.
While deferred maintenance issues are a challenge, the more closely aligned institutional leadership is with state government and the more hands-on state government is in appointing campus leadership, those deferred maintenance issues will be lower on the list [of spending priorities] because of how it looks.
