University Budget Committee

UBC Information

The UBC is an advisory committee under the leadership of the Provost and Executive Vice President and Vice President for Finance and Administration and therefore, makes recommendations but does not have authority or responsibility for decisions. Each year, the Provost will appoint committee members and charge the UBC with a specific agenda for the coming year. The UBC contributes an independent point of view to central university budgeting, and monitors central budgeting on the timeliness, regularity, visibility, and accuracy of its reports.

There is an expectation that UBC members represent the best interests of the University, not advocate for individual units. Committee members are asked to commit to active and engaged participation, including attendance at regularly scheduled meetings.
