Budgets are so much more than just spreadsheets, they're key tools in institutional transparency and accountability. Every budget proves what institutions value the most in practice, rather than the often opaque or vague "summarized" language of mission statements and public bulletins.

Through budgets we can see how decisions are being made about:
📚️ How much will be invested in teaching?
🤝 In student support?
🧪 In research?
🏢 In facilities?

📈 What will grow?
⚖️ What will stay the same?
👀 Who will be asked to do more with less?

What is cut from a budget is often more telling than what's left in. Looking at whats cut, we can immediately see how the university is changing.

📎 Contingent Faculty: As rumors circulate about cuts and renewal terms, we’re asking all contingent faculty to share their renewal letters and contracts with us for review (whether you see changes or not).
