When implementing projects I find it difficult to allocate funds when cash flow is slow or irregular. Extended payment plans are great for students but they greatly affect the ability of the school to function and grow. Does anyone have suggestions on how to stabilize cash flow to meet monthly budget requirements?

It's interesting to note that the cost of education has increased 72% from 2000 to 2008. These figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics can be found by searching their website: http://www.bls.gov/bls/proghome.htm What has been everyone's experience with tuition increases? Based on national tuition rates for my program, I've seen increases as much as 100% or more from 2000 to 2008.
