PBC Goals and Duties Review – R. K. Natividad
1. The goals and duties of the Planning and Budgeting Committee were discussed to ensure the
responsibilities of the committee are correctly reflected in the presented document. Further
discussion took place with clarification of the role of the committee has in processing the
information it receives for planning and budgeting.
2. Some suggestions which came from the discussion were as follows:
 Improving communication with the PBC and the campus community. Concern was
expressed if the information from the PBC is being communicated to all levels of the
campus community and constituency groups. It was suggested Campus Climate may
be a good way to address this issue.
 Strengthen discussion on planning.
 Linking budgeting and planning.
 Looking at VP Unit Plans and the linking of strategic initiatives and/or program
review.
3. Various suggestions were made which will be crafted and brought back in two weeks for
further discussion and review. Further development still needs to be done on the goals and
duties.
4. It was requested that as the document is revised, it would be helpful to list the revision dates
on the document.
