Proposals for Western Washington University's 2011-13 operating budget will be posted Wednesday, May 4, on the website for University Planning and Budgeting.

As part of the normal budgetary review process, the University Planning and Resources Council will consider each of the proposals at its meetings, all of which will be audiocast live online, on May 4, 11 and 18 on the following schedule:

May 4: University Relations, Business and Financial Affairs, Student Affairs, and Academic Support Services in Academic Affairs (including the Graduate School, but not the Library).
May 11: University Advancement, CHSS, Fairhaven, CFPA, and Woodring
May 18: CBE, CST, Huxley, and the Library

Due to the short time line and the number of proposals, the UPRC will not be able to take public comments during the meetings, but thoughts and comments are critical to the UPRC's assessment of budget proposals. UPRC chair Jeff Newcomer and other members of UPRC will be available to hear comments from 10 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 3 p.m. on Friday, May 6, and Friday, May 13, in Old Main Room 340.

Members of the campus community may stop by to share thoughts on the proposals or contact Newcomer or their UPRC representative with comments.
