Western students, faculty, and staff are invited to attend the Spring 2026 University Budget Forum on Thursday, May 21, from 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. in Miller Hall 138 and on Zoom. The forum will include a presentation followed by an opportunity for audience questions.
The University Budget Forum is designed to provide clarity and transparency around Western's budgeting process, including information about funding sources, budget timelines, and how enrollment trends impact university finances and planning.
The spring forum will focus on looking ahead at the budget for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 and beyond. Western's Fiscal Year 2026-2027 draft budget recommendation (LINK) is now available online. Students, staff, and faculty are invited to view the draft recommendation and provide comments via the feedback form. Comments will be shared with the President's Cabinet as they finalize the recommendation in advance of the June 11, 2026 Board of Trustees meeting; a summary of comments will also be shared with the board.
