University Office for Planning and Budgeting
The University Office for Planning and Budgeting (UOPB) functions within University Administration (UA) as an internal service department; however, its scope embraces varied units/colleges on and between campuses as well as constituencies external to the university. The “services” provided may entail data synthesis/analysis for issues such as tuition costs, admissions trends, capital project funding, and budget request development, among others. UOPB’s unique position in UA, with access to a wealth of current and historical data encompassing the system’s three campuses, facilitates the discovery of trends and promotes the sharing of facts to support the university’s mission.
Planning and Budgeting has helped to shape and project the “story of the University of Illinois,” highlighting successes and outlining future challenges. The office’s forward-thinking and collaboration with diverse university components have generated useful documents and presentations. Many times, projects completed by UOPB are the result of an ad hoc request from a colleague, a college, or a constituent………after simply asking for assistance.
