Being good stewards of fi nances is critical in a time of limited budgetary
resources. The graph below depicts the approximate allocation of resources
to direct student services (e.g., tutoring, mentoring, workshops, personal
coaching); service oversight (personnel hired to supervise the development,
coordination, implementation, and assessment of services); administrative
personnel hired to administer the non-service delivery aspects of the offi ce (e.g.,
strategic planning, marketing, outreach, collaboration, assessment, grant writing,
impression management internally and externally, consultations across campus
and externally, crisis management and problem solving); offi ce support staff; and
general operations (e.g., supplies and materials, copying and printing). Although
some personnel may not have been hired to provide direct services to students,
almost all staff have served students directly throughout the year and will continue
to do so to meet the needs of students. This year marks the fi rst year resources
have been examined to establish reasonable correlations between resources and
direct student services. We will continue to examine and improve budget allocation
practices to ensure maximum stewardship of the public’s resources.
