President's Message - Budget Reduction
September 26, 2017
Fiscal Year 2018
Budget
Reduction
I write to inform you of a reduction in the
state appropriations for the University
System of Maryland (USM) and a decrease in
the 2017-2018 operating budget for Bowie
State University. This decrease in funding is
the result of a projected revenue shortfall for
the state of Maryland. Please note, grant-
and auxiliary-funded positions and activities
will not be affected.
As we work on solutions for balancing our
budget for this year, I request that
department budget managers continue to
monitor their allocations and carefully
review all hiring and spending submitted for
state-funded activities.
You can visit the Office of Budget and
Finance webpage for greater detail on the
BSU plan to absorb the required reduction in
the 2017-2018 operating
budget.
Thank you for your assistance as we
continue to ensure a quality educational
experience here at BSU.
