Though no one wants to manage a deficit, it is manageable if we make some short-term
adjustments as a University. The priority is to limit spending Systemwide throughout
FY 2023 and into FY 2024. we will continually evaluate and provide updates throughout
the year when spending limitations can be adjusted. Our next update will be in
late April.
Prioritize spending on those items and programs that will most help us achieve
our critical goals as a University system and lead to a return on investment. Those
items or programs that contribute to the recruitment and retention of students,
as well as the quality of the student experience, would be considered a high priority.
We will need to implement a suspension of hiring, purchasing, hospitality and travel.
Please see below for details. *The guidelines below do not apply to grant funded
expenditures. Grant funded hospitality, travel, and purchases may proceed as long
as they are permitted within the grant.
