University Planning and Budget Committee

The University Planning and Budget Committee (UPBC) consists of senior administrators appointed by the President, the five faculty from the Faculty Senate’s Planning and Budget Committee (PBC), as well as one administrator chosen by the PAS. The UPBC may invite to its sessions a non-voting staff member chosen by the Union and non-voting students appointed for this purpose by the University-Wide Student Leadership Council. This committee advises its co-chairs, the Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and the Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President for Budget and Finance, on university-wide plans and budgets and recommends a proposed university budget to the president on an annual basis.
