Welcome to the CWU budget page, where you’ll find information about Central’s new budgeting model. As you know, effective July 1, 2017 the university will shift to a new budget management model and process known as Responsibility Center Management (RCM)/Activity Based Budgeting (ABB).

RCM/ABB are designed to:

• Put greater emphasis and clearer authority and accountability at the level of the Deans and Vice Presidents, thereby providing colleges with more ownership of the overall budgeting process
• Enhance transparency about both revenues and the costs of operating our institution
• Provide motivation to achieve and optimize revenue generation and cost effective practices
• Encourage innovation
• Challenge silos
