Financial Health Committee

The Financial Health Committee is charged with examining several questions and issues aimed at improving the financial health of the University:

  • What is the most effective and efficient model for budgeting campus financial resources?
  • How can the University deliver its core business services (HR, IT, accounting, etc.) in the most effective and efficient manner possible?
  • How can the University better leverage its physical assets?
  • How can the University better leverage its purchasing power?
  • How can the university continue to benefit from the 501c3 structure without undermining governance?

Four subcommittees (among others determined by the committee) shall be established and report to the committee:

  • Budget Model Subcommittee
  • Business Services Subcommittee
  • Asset Utilization Subcommittee
