The Planning Advisory Council (PAC) is dedicated to advancing the Budget Modernization Initiative in a structured and inclusive manner.
The PAC has established four subcommittees aligned with the working groups established in spring 2024: Tuition, Fees, and State Appropriations; Research and Creative Activity; Strategic Initiatives; and Academic Unit and Central Services. Subcommittees are tasked with addressing specific questions, developing recommendations, and collaborating with working groups.
All PAC members are serving on one subcommittee, and working groups include both PAC members and continuing members from the spring 2024 working groups. The four working groups have started meeting and are actively discussing questions outlined in their roadmaps. All PAC members are participating in subcommittees, and Initiative co-facilitators Zeynep Hansen and Chris Johnson are involved in multiple subcommittees and working groups. Subcommittees meet weekly, working groups meet every other week or as needed, and the PAC continues to meet regularly.
Boise State has partnered once again with Kennedy & Company for the design phase of the Initiative. While Kennedy & Company will provide support and expertise, the PAC will lead the next phase, including prototype model testing. In spring 2025, the PAC will conduct additional meetings, listening sessions and presentations about the planned “shadow year” model with university stakeholders.
Information on the Budget Modernization Initiative website and its resources and documentation folder will continue to be updated regularly, and questions are always welcome at budgetmodernization@boisestate.edu.
