Strategic Budget Planning Open Forum (FY17)
The Informational Open Forum on February 23, 2017, presented current work by members of the Budget, Planning and Assessment & Evaluation Sub-Meet and Confers to develop a General Fund Strategic Budget Planning Process. The goal of the General Fund Strategic Budget Planning Process is to create a foundation for future strategic investments and growth opportunities within the University, even during times when new tuition or state appropriation revenues may be limited. The General Fund Strategic Budget Planning Process being developed is anticipated to be used on an ongoing basis as a foundation for strategic allocation/reallocation of university resources in future fiscal years. Minnesota State University, Mankato currently is operating with a structurally balanced budget and is in sound financial status.
