COST CONTAINMENT INPUT

What input are you using from faculty, staff, students, and the public in working to contain costs?

Open budget hearings are conducted with presentations from each vice chancellor. The Budget Director and Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration meet regularly with the Faculty Senate Planning and Finance Committee to review budget issues and cost containment suggestions. Bimonthly meetings are held with the UA Little Rock Board of Visitors, whose membership is comprised of community business leaders who contribute valuable advice on finances and operational efficiencies.

Do you have a committee on cost containment?

The Planning and Finance Committee of the Faculty Senate participates in the annual budget hearings and makes recommendations to the Chancellor on cost containment. Members of this committee have surveyed other universities similar to UA Little Rock in other states and have offered recommendations based on the experiences of other campuses facing budget shortfalls.

Do you offer incentives and/or recognition to faculty/staff/students for suggestions on how to cut costs?

There are not formal incentives. However, due to limited operating budgets, all departments are continually seeking ways to contain costs in order to stretch their budget dollars further.
