Integrated and Value-Centered Budgeting

The Office of the Provost has drafted a white paper based on input from the Budgeting Reform Steering Committee, Budgeting Reform Implementation Committee, working groups, and sub-groups. This white paper identifies and provides background on the various components of the Integrated and Value-Centered Budgeting (“IVCB”) model, and outlines considerations on various aspects of the model and corresponding recommendations. A numbering system is used to identify each consideration and recommendation to enable readers to easily tie their feedback to the related consideration/recommendation.

The white paper is intended to be a work in process, with periodic updates made as feedback is received from the campus community. As of October 30, 2018, there are three versions of the white paper. Click the links below to view the different versions:

• December 22, 2017 Version 1 (original white paper)
• September 24, 2018 Version 2 – See a Summary of the Changes to Version 1.
• October 30, 2018 Version 3 – See a Summary of the Changes to Version 2.  View the Technical Appendix to Version 3.
• October 29, 2019 Version 4 – See a Summary of the Changes to Version 3. View the updated Technical Appendix I and added Technical Appendix II to Version 4.
