During the 2015 to 2017 budget impasse departments had to cut back on spending and make sure their spending was fiscally responsible. Glassman said departments should continue to regulate spending and only spend money when necessary. “We must once again firmly and dedicatedly commit to regulating our expenses. All divisions across the university will see familiar limitations on spending and travel, and the procurement of only essential equipment and supplies necessary for the current year,” Glassman said. “It is paramount that we continue to be responsible stewards of our still-limited resources to remain on the pathway to institutional strength and sustainability.”
