Class - "Statement of the Problem," Feb. 4, (no year) Digital

The audio recording documents a lecture given by Anthony. During the first part of the lecture, Anthony goes over class schedule/meeting times, putting books on reserve, and what the class has gone over so far (classifying and aggregating input information) and where the class will go (focusing on output information) concerning nonprofit organizations. He then discusses an assignment centered on Health, Education and Welfare Department (HEW) and students ask questions. Anthony states students must grapple with problems of fiduciary control, helping students get a better education and the best way to do it (channeling funds), and a human component and the overhead of the program. He acknowledges this assignment is challenging but to keep working at it. During the bulk of the lecture, Anthony goes over a document, titled “Statement of the Problem”, he has assembled which includes material he has put together and comments from students who took last year’s seminar. The document defines a nonprofit organization, and outlines technical and environmental factors. Both students and Anthony himself ask questions and discuss the document while talking about priorities of the private sector, the public good, and the two kinds of nonprofit organizations. He defines the two types as organizations with clients (students, patients) where you do something for the clients and can measure what you do and organizations where you cannot measure.
