Abstract:

This paper describes how the USAF Academy allocates its $1 million laboratory equipment budget. We develop and implement a hierarchy of mission criteria using Value Focused Thinking, expert representatives from each academic division, and the stated mission goals and educational outcomes of the Academy. As a result, we insure equity among academic departments, maximize educational value, and provide an objective rubric for internal as well as external budget validation.
