University Senate discusses budget, students’ right to record - Emily DeLetter, WKU Herald

A representative with management consulting company Huron met with the University Senate during their October meeting Thursday to answer questions from faculty concerning WKU’s budget development process. Huron is a consulting group that specializes in services to higher education. They have been contracted with WKU since January of 2018 to help with the university’s ongoing budget crisis. Managing Director Andrew Laws gave a presentation to the Senate focusing on the current position of the budget model. Laws outlined a new governance structure for the budget process, which will include faculty budget committee participation. Six subcommittees were proposed: The Executive Budget Committee, Auxiliary/Support Unit Allocation Committee, Master Planning Committee, Curriculum Committee, Space Allocation Committee, and the Faculty Senate Budget and Finance Committee. Each subcommittee was designed to have faculty representation. https://wkuherald.com/news/university-senate-discusses-budget-students-right-to-record/article_81827090-d946-11e8-ac46-63289eadf09e.html
