The Strategic Alignment and Budget Reduction Implementation Plan for 2009-11 released Oct. 8, 2009, articulated a variety of actions to be taken by academic and support units. Each of these actions has an associated timeline and due date. The Review Committee has tried to streamline this process, clarifying what is needed and when. For most academic and support units, we are holding to two deadlines:
Nov. 20, 2009 (extended from earlier Nov. 15 deadline) – The Implementation Plan calls for administrative units to submit their “process and timeline” plan for achieving strategic alignments and budget reductions.
March 15, 2010 - The Implementation Plan calls for all administrative units to submit their proposals for strategic realignments and biennium reduction by no later than March 15.
