Fall 2025 Update: The Budget Model Redesign project committees look forward to sharing updates with the campus community regarding overall project updates and progress in the Parallel Year. We are planning a campus-wide forum in early December 2025, and we invite campus community members to join us for virtual office hours over the next few weeks — days, times and meeting links below. Similarly, campus members are encouraged to provide feedback and share questions about the Budget Model Redesign project via the feedback form or by emailing [email protected].
CSU Budget Model Redesign
CAMPUS ENGAGEMENT
More about the redesign:
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 Oct. 25, 2023, in the Lory Student Center, with continued series of open fora following in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
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 upcoming meeting dates for campus conversations regarding the Budget Model Redesign, as well as past meeting dates and materials.
