Capilano University will try to balance budget without program cuts - Janet Steffenhagen, Vancouver Sun

The motion was made with an amendment for the senate budget committee to endeavour to look at ways to balance the budget without cuts to programs and courses. As chair of the senate, Dr. Bulcroft also proposed that the senate budget committee consultation be completed and presented at the senate meeting of June 4. The senate budget advisory committee is a standing committee that makes recommendations to senate on budget related matters who in turn, provide feedback and advice to the board of governors. According to the University Act, post-secondary institutions must submit a balanced budget. In accordance with the Act, on April 9 the board directed the university’s executive to balance the 2013-14 budget. Doing so required university executive to review, in a compressed time frame, ways to overcome its budget shortfall and prepare and submit a balanced budget. http://blogs.vancouversun.com/2013/05/15/capilano-university-will-try-to-balance-budget-without-program-cuts/
