A Negotiated Approach to Performance-Based Budgeting

Presenter(s): Fred J. Maryanski, University of Connecticut
Convener: Nancy Nusbaum, Southwest Texas State University

This session presents a performance-based budgeting model at the University of Connecticut. The model does not apply a one-size-fits-all methodology but instead utilizes a negotiated set of performance indicators for each academic unit. Each school or college is evaluated based upon the degree to which its goals have been fulfilled. The indicators describe both unit-specific and university-wide. This approach results in a data-driven decision making process that identifies the priorities of the institution but is not tied to a single set of mathematical formulae.

This knowledge resource from SCUP is a concurrent session presented at the Society's thirty-seventh annual, international conference and Expo, SCUP–37, in San Diego, CA (USA), in July of 2002.

Audiocassettes of this and other SCUP–37 sessions are available for purchase here.

Due to our concern for the privacy of members of the face-to-face audiences at SCUP–37, our digital archives of SCUP–37 presentations end at the beginning of the question and answer portion of each session. Whenever we can, we not only provide streaming audio but the slide show or visual presentation used by the presenters, as well.
