Strategic Budget Committees

Guidance from the executive sponsors and efforts by the Implementation Committee will ensure a smooth transition to UNT's new budget model and process.

Executive sponsors establish priorities, provide general guidance to the committees, consider recommendations and input received from the committees and campus community, and make final decisions about the new budgeting model.

Members

Dr. Harrison Keller, President
Dr. Mike McPherson, Provost
Clayton Gibson, Vice President for Finance and Administration

Implementation Committee members reside over implementation of the new strategic budget model during Spring and Summer 2025. Beyond this period, there will be a similar committee (if not the same) that meets at some cadence in FY26 each semester to review model feedback, unintended consequences, and suggestions for improvement.
