Members of the WSU Executive Budget Council are developing a mainstream budget model for all WSU campuses to better allocate university resources.
The EBC was created to make the budget model for the WSU system more holistic and transparent. There are fourteen members, said Elizabeth Chilton, WSU provost and council co-chair.
Chilton said the purpose of the EBC is to support the strategic priorities and goals of the institution. The council will also help support the WSU System Strategic Plan and One WSU system.
“We hope that [the council] allows us to think about where we can also build new resources, not just how we manage internally, but how we can better support financially and with fiscal responsibility, the WSU system, “ Chilton said.
