Hello and thank you for your continued interest in Western’s budgeting process.

This document was finalized on December 15, 2008. While the forum is temporarily closed for discussion, a link to the final document remains posted for your convenience. Additionally, the forum remains open so that interested readers have an opportunity to continue to review comments that were made during the document development process.

As we implement new 2009-11 budget policies and processes, we will ask participants and members of the Western community to share ideas for improvements. Once the process is fully underway, we will reopen this forum for comments on implementation and lessons learned for the future.

Thanks again,

Paula M. Gilman

Executive Director

Thank you University Planning Council

Thank you, UPC (soon to be UPRC), for the many suggestions and advice you provided on all of the draft budget documents on this forum, but especially for your valuable input on the Campus-level Supplemental Process. Special thanks to Ira Hyman for his advice which helped form the December 4 draft which is now posted. While the December 4 draft will be discussed with WWU's Board of Trustees on December 11, it is not yet a final draft. Please continue to comment.
