...need for an early decision on tuition charges demands this fiscal prescience. Most businesses budget on a "rolling quarterly basis," changing estimates and adjusting prices as they monitor the flow of cash. A university can't change the price of its product in the middle of the year, and so Faculty budget-makers are locked into an annual budget. They have to make crucial financial decisions based on fuzzy guesses about the inflation rate a year and a half from now.

Founded in 1970 and controlled by Investors Fairleigh Dickinson Jr. and Robert Kanzler, the Boston-based airline carries some 500,000 passengers annually. It operates at a loss for most of the year but gambles on cashing in during the summer, when traffic triples. Despite federal subsidies of $3.7 million, it lost $2 million on revenues of $21 million in 1978, and does not expect to do much better this year...
