Senate Budget Committee

Our Charge and Responsibilities

The Senate Budget Committee serves as an advisory committee to the University Senate with a primary purpose of informing the Senate and its constituents about the financial matters and fiscal health of the University of Oregon. 

The Senate Budget Committee reports to and acts at the direction of the Senate. It is charged with informing the Senate and advising the University President, senior financial administrators, and the Board of Trustees about university financial matters, including budgetary policies and decisions, and long-term financial strategies. 

In fulfilling its charge, the Senate Budget Committee is tasked with reviewing budget reports submitted to the UO Board of Trustees and obtaining pertinent data from the university administration. 

The committee will also regularly review reports impacting the University's budget by the Governor, the Oregon Legislature, the University of Oregon's Board of Trustees, and the UO Foundation. 

The Senate Budget Committee may establish working subcommittees.

The Senate Budget Committee must report to the full UO Senate at least time each academic year.
