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 unit-level and central multi-year plans to close the projected funding gap.
  • Reviewing areas where we have administrative inefficiencies, such as unnecessary duplication of services.
  • Assessing alignment of core academic resources with clear trends in undergraduate and graduate enrollment.
  • Making recommendations to campus leadership to inform the overall campus financial stability plan.
  • Reviewing and advising on options for a revised budget model.
