Budgeting
Western Carolina University (WCU) manages a complex and growing budget in response to the educational and workforce needs of the State and region. One of the primary goals of the Chancellor, key Executive Cabinet Officers and the Strategic Planning Committee is to help identify and allocate the necessary resources for WCU to succeed as a premier regional teaching and research university.
In order for the campus to fulfill its mission, the act of budget planning must be linked closely with institutional priorities and strategic planning. WCU is committed to ensuring that campus budgets, strategic plans and institutional effectiveness and assessment efforts are meaningfully aligned. To that end, funding priorities are derived from WCU’s Mission, Goals and Strategic Directions, which are informed and undergo iterative development via regular assessment of our performance.
