UCSF Names Work Group on Administrative and Business Efficiencies

The UCSF Executive Budget Committee recently created the Work Group on Administrative and Business Efficiencies, one of three work groups which are advisory to the committee. The three work groups began meeting in early February and are anticipated to meet through June 2009. The chairs of each work group will regularly report to the Executive Budget Committee on their work groups’ progress and recommendations.

Work Group on Administrative and Business Efficiencies

The charge of this work group is to explore and recommend administrative and business efficiency options. Suggested means by which this charge could be accomplished include:
  • Compiling a compendium of possible administrative and business efficiency ideas
  • Creating criteria for determining “core” academic and clinical activities
  • Identifying areas for possible consolidation or reduction
  • Considering opportunities for efficiencies by partnering with other campuses
