Operating Budget Process
|
The day-to-day
operations of the university are primarily funded through unrestricted funds,
and each year the Board of Trustees approves this funding through the annual
Operating Budget. Restricted funds are dealt with separately by the Office
of Grants and Contracts and the Office of the Comptroller. The Draft
Operating Budget is first presented to the Board at its June meeting and
approved in its final form in September of each year. The timing of this
process and approximate deadlines for budget submissions are detailed in the budget calendar.
The Operating Budget is
ultimately approved each year by the Board of Trustees upon the recommendation
of the university's Budget Committee. Prior to the committee's
final recommendation, deans and other area managers work with senior
administration to arrive at the best allocation of available resources within
the realm of operations. The Office of Financial Planning and Budget works
with those deans and area managers to assist them in this goal. We also work with
the finance team of Medicine to consolidate the operating budget into one
document with a balanced fiscal result.

Operating Budget Requests
| All operating budget
requests are first directed to the relevant dean or area manager. The
below table summarizes who is responsible for initial screening of all operating
budget requests. This does not necessarily apply, however, to the AUBMC, Faculty of
Medicine, School of Nursing, Saab Medical Library or UHS whose budgeting process
is administered by the finance team of the Vice President for Medical Affairs. |
