End of Year Budget Update

As we approach the end of the academic year, we want to thank and recognize the entire Bengal community for your thoughtful engagement and support in response to state budget reductions.

Thanks to your participation in the discretionary operating hold back and thoughtful personnel planning through Opportunity Aligned Resourcing (OAR), Idaho State University is on track to close the fiscal year in a neutral budget position even after the state funding cut.

Looking ahead to FY2027, we will enter the year with a balanced budget due to our Bold Path Forward. Together budget restructuring plan. While this progress is substantial, there is more work ahead to create true budget resiliency. We will lean into this work with the same principle-based, collaborative, forward-thinking mindset. 

Our Budget Advisory Group will share strategies and ideas for increasing and diversifying revenues and reducing expenditures through efficiencies this fall term. We look forward to continuing the work and conversations with you.

Best wishes for a successful end of term and restorative summer.
