Committee Overview

The Academic Budget Committee (ABC) provides assistance to the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Research (VCAAR) on budget development as it relates to the goals and overall planning of the unit. Fiscal strategies are discussed which support the growth and development of units reporting to the VCAAR office. Assessment strategies may also be employed to evaluate current operations for budgetary efficiency and effectiveness.

Membership includes deans, chairs, faculty, and students, with staggered terms. The committee elects a chair at the beginning of each fiscal year. The Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Research and the VCAAR Budget Officer serve as ex-officio, non-voting members.
