- PC members discussed trends
V. Discussion: Planning and Budget Timeline and Process
- Chris presented a draft proposal for university priority planning, departmental programmatic planning, budgeting, and implementation. Planning Council would continually assess progress on the strategic plan, with priority setting the main task each spring for the fiscal year one full year out (e.g. this spring 15, we will propose priorities for FY 2016-17). Cabinet, Budget Council, departments and divisions would have enough time to use those priorities to plan programs and budgets.
- Budget Council and UPdate Budget are also working on a new timeline (in line with this one) for the university budget process.
- PC members discussed the info needed to set priorities (continued discussion from
Nov meeting).
