To All Who Are Concerned in the Preparation of the Budget:
This announcement is intended for all who are concerned in the prepa-
ration of the budget and is directed particularly to Deans, Directors, Su-
perintendnts and other officers who submit portions of the budget to the
President.
It is a pleasure officially to announce that at the meeting of the Board
of Regents held on Oct. 28 the following procedure for preparing the bud-
get was approved:
I.
The principles which underlie the entire process involved in the
preparation of the budget are two in nuiber
1. The Board of Regents is the final authority both in deterrain-
ing the main outlines of the budget and in making official commit-
ments in regard to every detail."Consequently the submission of rec-
ommendations by heads of departments, Deans of schools or colleges,
or by the President in no way creates obligations. The inference,
frequently drawn, that a recommendation is a final assurance of fav-
orable action, or the building of false hopes upon possibilities sug-
gested in the various steps necessary in the making of a budget is
entirely inconsistent with this principle and is to be discouraged in
every possible way.
In exercising its authority in this matter, the Board of Regents
will function through two committees known as the Finance (or
Budget) Committee and the Committee on Salaries. It is the duty of
the Finance Committee to see that the bdidget is prepared and sub-
mitted for final approval by the full Board. It is the duty of the Sal-
aries Committee to give its attention to the salary scale as a whole
and its specific application to- all members of the entire faculty and
staff. Its recommendations are to be incorporated in the budget be-
fore it goes to the Finance Committee for final consideration and
recommendation.
2. The Board of Regents at all times will endeavor to avail it-,
self of the intimate and detailed knowledge of the various officers of'
the University. It is to be presumed that in general this information,
at first, is available in the actual recommendations of the various
adminstrative officers. In case it becomes necessary to make reduc-
tions in salaries or in other items the Regents, functioning through
the committees named, will return the recommendations to the offi-
cers. concerned with a definite announcement of the total amount
which must be eliminated and with the request that new recommen-
dations within the prescribed limitation be submitted. Under this
principle the Board of Regents aims to have at its disposal the best
information and judgment of the educational officers both in the orig-
inal recommendations and in the final proposals. The Board will
aim to allow ample time for each of these steps. It is to be hoped
that the method n'ow outlined will make it unnecessary, as a gen-
eral rule, to return recommendations for reformulation.
IL
In accordance with these two principles, it is suggested that the
budget be prepared in the following manner:
1. The President of the University on December 1 of each year
shall communicate with each Dean, Director, Superintendent and
Officer involved in the preparation of the budget requesting a general
statement in regard to the main features of his unit, This request
shall not call for the actual recommendations of the budget. The,
aim will be to discover (1) what economies can be effected by dis-
continuance of existing activities and (2) what expansions seem ab-
solutely essential in view of new facts and developments. This in-
formation will be utilized in connection with step 3 described below
and should be presented to the Regents for the December meeting.
2. The Secretary of the University, for the December meeting of
the Board, shall present a statement of the estimated income of the
University for the succeeding fiscal year, pointing out any pertinent
aspects of the financial situation of the University which should be
considered in determining the limits of the new budget.
3. In the light of this information, the Board of Regents at its
December meeting upon the recommendation of the Finance Commit-
tee, shall determine officially the income of the University and the
grand total of the new budget. It shall also determine tentatively
the maximum allotments which shall be available for each School or
College or similar Unit of the Universit# and authorize the President
to proceed with the other officers in the preparation of the budget in
accordance with the main outlines thus established.
4. The first draft of the new budget shall be pres'ented at the
January meeting of the Board. The Salaries Committee shall meet
prior to the meeting of the Board and give ample time to the con-
sideration of the entire salary situation. The Finance Committee
shall be prepared at the January meeting to make its recommenda-
tions in the light of the decisions of the Salaries Committee and to
point out both in principle and in detail what subjects deserve further
consideration and investigation.
5. The recommendations of the various units, wherever it is
necessary, shall be returned for revision in accordance with decisions
made by the Regents at the January meeting.
6. The final budget for actual adoption shall be presented by
the Finance Committee at the February meeting of the Board.
Owing to the fact that the December meeting of the Board of Regents
this year will occur on Dec. 9, - two weeks earlier than usual, - it will
be necessary to have in hand -on Dec. 1, the statements called for in para-
graph 1 of section II above. Accordingly, I desire, hereby, officially-to re-
quest those who are concerned to transmit to me the statements required.
I shall expect to confer personally with each officer before his final conclu-
sions are reached and shall be available for interviews between Nov. 18
and Dec. 1. / M. L. BURTON.
