QUESTION #25: WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE FACULTY MEMBERS WHO ARE ON THE BUDGET STEERING COMMITTEE? HOW DO THESE FACULTY MEMBERS VOICE THEIR OPINIONS ABOUT BUDGET PRIORITIES?
As with all members of the Committee, the faculty members' opinions are valuable in terms of considering all budget requests-- academic and non-academic ones-- in light of our stated mission, our core values, and our highest priorities. The faculty members also sit on a subcommittee that includes the Dean of the College and the two Associate Deans. This subcommittee reviews the totality of academic budget requests and prioritizes from among them in order to advocate for them before the Budget Steering Committee.
