Strategic Financial Management Advisory Group

To ensure that core academic and research functions are maintained, the Strategic Financial Management Advisory Group will explore and develop strategic financial plans that account for potential revenue and spending changes in AY 2020-21.  Working from enrollment scenarios, potential restrictions on State spending, and university reserves, the committee will develop spending plans and controls to mitigate impacts on the university’s mission. The committee includes individuals who have strong financial management expertise and who represent perspectives across the university.
