Strategic Planning & Budget Council
The Strategic Planning and Budget Council is a standing committee of faculty, students, staff, and administrators. All university governance groups are represented on the Council. The Council coordinates the university’s strategic plans and planning processes. This influence was most significantly seen in the development of the updated strategic plan, the coordination of work on unit strategic plans, the planning and/or facilitation of the annual President Leadership Retreat and suggestions for improvement opportunities such as development of a university budget training session.
