Faculty Senate Representation at Budget Hearings
From the Academic and Governance Committee
Presented April 14, 2000; Passed May 5, 2000
Resource allocation at all levels impact on faculty. As a tenet of shared governance, faculty should participate in budget decisions at all levels-department, college, and university. The Strategic Plan states, "As a by-product of the current strategic planning process, USM should reassess its annual planning and resource allocation procedures with a goal of sharing more widely throughout the university the necessary information, allocation decisions, and rationales for budget decisions."
Faculty Senate resolves that a faculty member appointed by Faculty Senate be present at any and all university budget hearings.
