May 2024 Board of Regents Meeting
FY 2025 Annual Operating Budget Forum and Written Comment Period
The Board of Regents welcomes input from members of the public and the University community on the President's recommended FY 2025 Annual Operating Budget. Hearing from the University’s many stakeholders is very important as the Board prepares to take action on the budget.
There are two opportunities to provide input:
The Board is hosting a public forum on Friday, May 10 at 8:00 a.m. in the Boardroom on the 6th floor of the McNamara Alumni Center. Those who wish to comment may sign up beginning at 7:30 a.m. in the West Committee Room. The forum is public, live streamed, and video recorded. Each available, three-minute speaking slot will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
- The Board is also accepting written, audio, and video comments via the Board's Virtual Forum through 10:00 a.m. on June 7. Comments received during this window will be included with the commenter’s name and affiliation in the docket materials for the Board’s Finance and Operations Committee June 13 meeting and become part of the official public record.
Feedback Submission Guidelines
- The public comment period will be open at 12:00 p.m. on May 3 and close at 10:00 a.m. on June 7. Comments received during this window will be included with the commenter’s name and affiliation in the docket materials for the Board’s Finance & Operations Committee June meeting, and become part of the official public record.
- The Board will refuse publication of comments that: are anonymous; contain private data (student, employee, or other private information under state or federal law); raise a specific personnel matter; are unrelated to the University; or focus on matters beyond the FY 2025 Operating Budget.
- Public comments that do not comply with the Board’s guidelines will not be made publicly available as part of the Board’s docket materials, but will still be available to members of the Board.
