Last fall, President Taylor Eighmy charged the Finance and Budget Modeling Task Force with creating a strong foundation for UTSA’s fiscal health and laying the groundwork for the growth and innovation to come. Since that time, the task force has been working to create a new budget model that is transparent and data-driven, supports entrepreneurship and innovation, and aligns resources needed for the university’s strategic mission, vision and themes.
“We are now in the third phase of our task force’s work,” said Kathryn Funk-Baxter, UTSA vice president for business affairs and chair of the Finance and Budget Modeling Task Force. “We have met with each dean more than once and continue engagement sessions with leadership, department chairs and others to secure more input on the budget tool. We will run our current and the new budget models in parallel in the 2019 fiscal year and make improvements along the way so we will have a strong, viable new model to use in fiscal year 2020.”
