Planning & Budget Committee

The UAF Planning & Budget Committee (PBC) is charged with reviewing and assessing options provided by the Provost and Vice Chancellors. PBC recommendations will be made to the Chancellor's Cabinet in late spring, for discussion/implementation by the fiscal year end on June 30.

In FY15, the PBC agreed to guiding principles and a decision process that included Special Program Reviews.
