Gained in Translation: Do CFOs and CAOs Speak the Same Language?

This is a report by Susan Jurow and Marlene Ross on a recent ACE and NACUBO special program which brought together CFOs and CAOs. It is categorized into several sections: "Cultural Context"; "Learning a Second Language"; "Two Voices, One To-Do List"; "Tutoring the Talent Team"; and "Advce for New Partnerships."

"Although both are employed by the same institution and work to improve the educational experience of students, CAOs and CFOs often view the world through different lenses and therefore may have varying approaches to the problems that confront their college or university. They can have different goals and frequently use different language to describe a situation that they face in common"
