Executive Budget Committee Minutes, 1990-2003

The Executive Budget for Washington State University comprises both a capital budget for new construction and similar projects, and an operating budget for existing and new research and educational programs. WSU's Executive Budget Committee consisted of higher level members of the Budget Office, the Provost's Office, and similar positions, and was responsible for proposing the Executive Budget for submission to the governor and legislature, and for adjusting these plans based on funding the legislature was willing to give the university. Circa the year 2000, the Executive Budget Committee transitioned into a Budget Council. The same process appears to exist as of 2016, though the term "executive budget" is no longer used; it's simply the "biennial operating and capital budget." A formal Budget Council no longer exists; it is unclear when it was discontinued.
