Deans, division heads, division administrators, chief finance officer, and assistant director of finance in collaboration with the provost and University Budget Office

The University’s annual compact process is central to SPH’s budget and resource allocation process, which begins with an assessment of priorities. The compact also includes a complete budget analysis, a brief statement of achievements during the past year, goals and objectives for the coming year, performance measures, and related budget requests.

The compact is submitted to the provost for review and discussion at SPH’s annual compact meeting. During the meeting, the provost and other central administrators discuss the compact, potential forthcoming funding, financial reports, and other deliverables to be provided in the coming year. The approved final compact is an agreement between the dean and the provost. After the final compact is approved, division allocations are determined.

In FY20 and FY21, the University received one-time, nonrecurring higher education emergency relief funds through three federal acts (CARES Act, CRSSA Act, and ARP Act). The funds were restricted to address direct financial impacts of the pandemic and were broken down into two categories — students and institutional. The student portion included a combination of block grants based on financial need and emergency student support grants. The institutional portion is used to defray expenses associated with coronavirus. More information can be found through OneStop.
