Budget Workgroup Charge:

We are implementing a financial stability planning process to address the projected structural deficit and better position the campus to both support our core academic missions and further our progress toward strategic goals.

The Budget Workgroup will assist with the following tasks:

  • Reviewing and developing strategies to inform the overall campus financial stability plan.
  • Evaluating options for distributing funds to support units and providing recommendations regarding the content for support unit budget submissions.
  • Reviewing whether the budget model for schools is achieving intended goals and minimizing unintended consequences.
  • Reviewing and advising on options for further development of the campus budget model.
  • Providing feedback on areas where we have opportunities for administrative efficiencies.
