The Academic Affairs Budget Council advises the Provost on annual allocations of public fiscal resources, consistent with the Budgeting Principles. The Council is composed of appointed administrators and elected faculty and staff representatives. Unlike the University Budget Committee, which advises the President on institution-level allocations to the divisions, this Budget Council works specifically within the Division of Academic Affairs.

Purpose

• To advise the Provost on annual allocations of public fiscal resources at the division level.
• To establish and update guidance to colleges and academic departments.
• To provide benchmarks and advice to cost of instruction.
• To maintain business practice guides and data dashboards that provide a common framework for budgeting and planning in the division.
• To increase transparency, predictability, and local discretion over spending. 聽Members have access to division budgetary records/reports and can propose a revision of the division鈥檚 budgeting principles stated in the policy.
