In the fall of 2016, Chancellor Ronnie Green formed a task force to perform a review of University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s existing budget system in order to better align the University’s budget allocation with university goals and objectives.
The task force:
-reviewed UNL’s existing budget system
-documented general processes for resource allocations
-investigated “best practices” in higher education budgeting
-drafted a series of recommendations.
The task force released its full report in the spring of 2017 and recommended UNL move from a Central-Administration Management (CAM) model to a modified Responsibility Centered Management (RCM) Model. RCM is an incentive-based management philosophy designed to support the achievement of the University’s mission by decentralizing budget authority – transferring it from central administration to individual schools or programs.
A steering committee to lead the campus through the implementation process was selected and began work in March of 2019.
