The University Committees are appointed by and are advisory to the President. These committees may be under the purview of a member of the University's central administration who will be responsible for convening these committees at regular intervals and whenever the need for committee action arises.
Committee appointments will become effective at the beginning of the fall semester and will expire at the end of the summer term. The Office of the President will distribute a list of members of the University Committees each fall. Each standing committee will have a written statement of its operating procedures and submit an annual report of their activities to the President with a copy the annual report submitted to the Faculty Senate Chair.
Faculty and staff committee members will serve three-year staggered terms unless otherwise specified; students serve one-year terms. The President designates chairs of standing University committees unless specified in the committee charge. Deliberations of committees dealing with grievance, student or faculty dismissal, discipline, promotion and tenure, and other personnel matters must remain confidential.

University Budget Advisory Committee
The committee shall review and recommend to senior leadership the comprehensive University budget submitted to the President for final approval by the Board of Trustees. In particular, the committee shall advise the University’s senior leadership on the use and strategic allocation of resources from the University’s Mission Enhancement Fund. Because the University fulfills its mission across an array of disciplines that face inherently different cost structures, the committee should develop allocation recommendations so that a portion of the Mission Enhancement Fund is used to support colleges and schools that, for structural reasons, cannot cover their own full costs, while the balance of the available funding is invested in strategic initiatives consistent with the mission and priorities of the institution. The committee shall also evaluate any central unit budget requests that are not resolved by the Central Unit Allocation Committee, recommending either a change in those budgets or in service levels or costs. At five-year intervals, the committee shall propose a Strategic Budget Model Review Task Force, appointed by the Provost and Executive Vice President, to conduct a thorough review and evaluation of all budget model components to ensure continued alignment with the University’s mission, to promote desired behaviors, and to mitigate unintended consequences. In proposing the membership and charge for each periodic task force, the committee shall bear in mind that the components to be reviewed shall include, without being limited to, the allocation method for tuition revenues, the allocation method for Division I state appropriations, the variables used to determine allocations of central unit costs, and the participation rate needed to sustain the Mission Enhancement Fund.
