Bucknell Faculty Governance
Committee on Planning and Budget

Full Charge (Faculty Handbook, II.D.3)

The Committee makes recommendations to the Administration on the financial aspects of program planning, facilities planning, and the capital budget, and on the general policies and guidelines for the annual budget. The Committee will receive annual reports from the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Vice President for Finance and Administration, the Vice President for Student Affairs, and the Vice President for Development and University Relations concerning:
  1. plans for generation of revenue;
  2. statements of needs and priorities made by the major standing committees and administrative officers, by the Faculty, and by the Congress of BSG;
  3. the present and past allocation of resources.
The Committee shall take care that its recommendations on resource allocation are consistent with the goals and objectives of the University.

The Committee regularly will report its activities to the Office of the President and forward all recommendations to that Office for decision or referral to the appropriate administrative officer or body. The Committee also will apprise the University Faculty and the Congress of the BSG of its activities and recommendations. The University Faculty or the Congress of the BSG may request the Committee to reconsider any action taken, including recommendations forwarded to the President's Office. The University Faculty or the Congress of the BSG may also communicate directly with the Office of the President concerning a recommendation from the Committee. If the University Faculty or the Congress of the BSG believes administrative action taken on the Committee's recommendation to be inappropriate, the President (or other appropriate administrative officer) may be requested to meet with the body to discuss the reasoning behind the action taken.

The Office of the President, the University Faculty, or the Congress of the BSG may request that an item be placed on the agenda of the Committee on Planning and Budget.
