CSU Budget Model Redesign

CAMPUS ENGAGEMENT

Listening Sessions & Campus Meetings

CSU is hosting a series of listening sessions and meetings to provide opportunities for broad engagement among faculty, staff, and students in the Budget Model Redesign process. The first open forum was held Wednesday, Oct. 25 in the Lory Student Center, with a series of Lunch & Listens and Coffee Chats following through the Fall 2023 semester.  

We encourage the CSU community to engage in these conversations and ensure your voice is heard on this important initiative. Shared governance is central to the success of the Budget Model Redesign process. Elected leaders from Faculty Council, Administrative Professional Council, Classified Personnel Council, and other standing committees and councils serve on the Steering and Technical committees. These committees are comprised of governance representatives as well as the selected nominees and other direct appointments from among key stakeholder groups (e.g., deans and budget officers of each college) to ensure robust yet efficient representation. However, it is critical that all faculty, staff, and students from across the institution participate in this process, as the feedback collected influences and informs the final budget model. 

What to Expect

The listening sessions and campus meetings are opportunities to learn more about the Budget Model Redesign process, ask questions, and provide feedback. Each meeting will provide a brief review of the current incremental budget as context, the rationale for a budget model redesign, the expectations for a phased approach to designing and implementing a new model, budget remodeling committee structures, and other information, in addition to an opportunity for questions, comments, and collection of feedback. Prior registration is not required.

Below are currently scheduled meeting dates as well as past meeting information. More opportunities will be posted as they are finalized in Phase Three of the Budget Model Redesign: Design.
