UCSF Launches Website, Releases Two Budget Reports
Vice Chancellor Steve Barclay today released two reports designed to give the campus community an overview of the UCSF budget process and the proposed 2008–2009 budget.
“The UCSF Strategic Plan challenged the finance department to ‘establish a regular and transparent campuswide process for planning, budgeting and allocating resources,’” Barclay said in a letter to the campus community [PDF]. “Like you and many others, we’ve taken these strategies to heart, and this letter represents one of our first public steps toward making that strategy a reality.”
These reports are part of an overall budget communications plan, which includes today’s launch of the UCSF budget website. The reports, both available as PDFs, are:
- UCSF: A Complete Budget Process Overview [PDF], which describes UCSF's budgeting goals and priorities, the sources and uses of funds, budget process and participants, recommendations for resource management, planning and allocation strategies, the financial environment, and an overview of the 2008–2009 budget year, and
- UCSF Updated Budget Overview [PDF], which describes the proposed 2008–2009 budget and initiatives of the Executive Budget Committee. This report is for those who are already familiar with the UCSF budget process and want to review plans for this fiscal year.
