The report claims that "Guilford did increase financial aid dramati cally," and "modestly increased sala ries," even when "many colleges and universities were forced to cut bud gets" as a result of "demographic and financial pressures." The report explains that Guilford finished the 1991-92 academic year "with a balanced budget." The report also cited the "major challenge in fiscal management over the last two years," namely, " the rapid escalation in the needs of stu dents and their families for financial assistance." Ten years ago, the financial aid budget had been $1.6 million; it cur rently stands at $3.6 million with an extra $400,000 in a college contin gency fund.
