6.4 Senate Budget Committee: The Senate Budget Committee is the University's primary agency for faculty and student participation in fiscal policy.

6.4.1 The Senate Budget Committee is charged to inform itself about issues that affect the financial well-being of the University. It will advise the President and the senate on budgetary policy and long-term financial strategies, and will keep the University Senate informed about financial matters. The committee will develop and maintain a broad overview of the University's budget, paying particular attention to General Funds (i.e., State appropriations and tuition and fees). The Budget Committee may initiate the study of financial issues.

6.4.2 Members of the Senate Budget Committee will be appointed by the Senate President and will serve three-year terms. The Senate Executive Committee will have the right to attend meetings in a non-voting capacity, as will the Faculty Advisory Council. The Provost is a voting member of the committee. Both the President and Provost are invited to attend meetings, and may designate staff members to accompany or represent them. The President and members of the Administration will keep the committee informed of actions by the Governor, the Legislature, the Oregon University System, the Chancellor's Office, and other agencies that affect the availability of resources and place constraints on the expenditure of General Funds.

6.4.3. Two staff members having budgetary responsibilities will be appointed to assist the committee. The committee will choose its own chair from its membership. The committee may meet in executive session when appropriate, and may establish working sub-committees.
