University Planning Committee
The primary role of the University Planning Committee (UPC) is to review, critique, and approve university-wide planning initiatives and programmatic priorities, and resource allocation policies, to ensure both the academic and financial health of the university. These policies will form the foundation of the university’s five-year financial plan and budget. As we move forward we intend to continuously refine this process with a focus on collaboration and financial accountability.
