Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Risk management in higher education has been defined as the formal process by which an organization establishes its risk management goals and objectives, identifies and analyzes its risks, and selects and implements measures to address its risks in an organized fashion. This provides a means of avoiding problems that can lead to failure while maintaining the value of programs that may include risk. The likelihood and severity of the risks must be considered in this process. All parties that are involved in the S-L project should be concerned with planning for risk management. This includes students, faculty, the academic institution, and the community agency.
