Utah State Administrators Release Budgetary White Paper

With the conclusion of the 2003 State Legislative Session, final budget numbers are now in for the remainder of this fiscal year. As we look ahead to the new fiscal year, beginning in July, we need to step back and consider the bigger picture – a larger backdrop upon which to base our decisions.

The following White Paper is designed to help us achieve that objective. It is a paper to suggest how we get from here to there. The most fundamental change we face is to develop a new budget scheme that permits us to allocate resources to support Utah State University's most important goals in a competitive and disciplined fiscal culture that is accountable yet sensitive to the enduring values of the academy.

The White Paper, in its entirety, is available by clicking on the link below. The paper is in PDF format and requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to view it. (Click here to get the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.)
