University Budget Committee

University Budget Committee


The University Budget Committee (UBC) is an advisory committee under the leadership of the Provost and Executive Vice President.  The UBC members are appointed by the Provost and include student government representatives, students at large, faculty, and administrators.  

The UBC constitutes the Tuition Advisory Council from its membership pursuant to ORS 352.102 and develops tuition recommendations for the President and Provost.  

UBC Information

The UBC is an advisory committee under the leadership of the Provost and Executive Vice President 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.
