How are budget reductions decisions made? How are cuts allocated across units?
Division heads developed budget reduction plans in consultation with key managers in their respective divisions. These plans were then discussed with PRBC. Campus priorities and related-funding requests, such as faculty hiring, were also discussed. The university budget office also explored opportunities to off-set budget reductions allocated to the divisions by utilizing all university budget reductions, such as the utility budget and deferred maintenance. Based on these discussions, PRBC recommended budget reduction allocation and funding priorities to President Gordon, who will make the final decision.
