SUMMARY: The Board of Trustees of Mississippi’s Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL), overseeing eight public universities and various other centers, has been praised by Moody’s Investors Service for its fiscal prudence. In a January 11 report, Moody’s rated IHL as Aa2 stable, citing its operational scale, solid fundraising, and financial oversight. Though the system faces challenges such as pension liabilities and enrollment concerns, stable growth is expected post-pandemic. IHL’s cost-saving measures include reducing debt payments by $119 million since 2016, cutting $109 million in energy costs, saving over $105 million in centralized insurance, and negotiating better library subscription terms to save $4 million. These efforts underscore IHL’s dedication to its stewardship role.
