Identifies eight important types of operational management problems in higher education and discusses the use of OR methods to deal with these problems. Seeks to make administrators in higher education aware of the great potential of application of OR to assist them in making decisions, and to show the OR community that higher education is an area where plentiful opportunities exist for OR applications.
