A solution to our budgetary woes - Rutgers University Daily Targum Editorial
At a Rutgers University Student Assembly meeting last week, vice president of University budgeting Nancy Winterbauer spoke to a room full of students about the possibility of creating a simplified, accessible document aimed at outlining the University’s general budget. Such a document would, ideally, breakdown the University’s budgetary matters in a way more easily digestible for students and University community members than the current alternative, which requires students to file for a public records request with the University’s Custodian of Records. At a time when the University’s budget has become a central focus here on campus, particularly in light of recent and ongoing changes to public and private funding, the creation of this type of document would be immeasurably useful.
