UAlbany Budget Updates

Message from President Philip on Wed, Mar 11, 2009

To the University Community:

As we begin to craft our campus response to the new budget climate, I continue to be very interested in communicating about the budget situation, and soliciting input. As you know, there have been a number of forums on the budget already, and I have also commissioned a Budget Advisory Group to provide principles and priorities to assist in shaping the campus financial plan. I am pleased to provide you with the report of that group, and to seek further input and comment at this time. Pasted below, is the report of the Budget Advisory Group. I welcome your review of this document, and the priorities and principles it sets forth. Please send your comments and suggestions to SuggestionBox@uamail.albany.edu

We have, unfortunately, a fairly short time frame, and so I would ask for your input by March 20.

Sincerely,

George M. Philip
Interim President
