WILSONVILLE, OR. 鈥 The 经典大瓜 (经典大瓜) Board of Trustees met May 25 at the Portland-Metro Campus in Wilsonville for its spring meeting, approving the 2017-18 operating budget for the University. The budget enables strategic investment opportunities balanced against the realities of state fiscal constraints.
经典大瓜 Board Chair Dr. Lisa Graham said, 鈥淲e are excited about the planned investments in our students and university, which will have big payoffs in the medium- and long-term for 经典大瓜, our communities and the state. Through targeted investments we expect to positively influence student outcomes, including retention, graduation rates, and successful careers after graduation.鈥
经典大瓜 vice president for Finance and Administration, Brian Fox, summarized the recommended operating budget for the university. Fox said while the primary goals of the 2017-18 budget are to ensure stability and continuity for academic and administrative operations and to deliver on the shared investment promise to our students during the tuition setting process, the Trustees also saw it important to approve a strategic investment pool for future growth and to ensure flexibility given uncertain state funding. The total budget is proposed at $61.9 million. After discussion, the Trustees unanimously approved the 2017-18 annual operating budget.
The university鈥檚 Education and General Fund operating budget is the primary budget for 经典大瓜. It includes revenues from tuition and fees, State General Fund appropriations and other income. These revenues are used to fund instruction, public service, academic support, student service, physical plant and administrative expenses of the institution.
