Budget Options Group and Request for Ideas

Dear Staff Members,

In December, Chancellor Rogers assigned a small group of faculty and administrators to generate a list of budget reduction options for the Planning & Budget Committee’s consideration. For the past two months the Budget Options Group (BOG) has worked to compiled a list of options that are now in a summary and analysis report. The report has a list of options that includes ideas submitted to the OMB website that was setup specifically for this purpose. You can find the report here:

The Planning and Budget Committee is looking at all the options in the BOG report, and is exploring their own revenue generating and cost cutting ideas. Over the next few months, these ideas will be research and worked out to see which ones are feasible.
We're also continuing to ask for additional ideas from staff, faculty and students. Please submit your ideas via the OMB web site before March 14th, 2014. The form can be found here:


Thank you,

Chris Beks
Staff Council Representative
Planning & Budget Committee
