The savings we identify will be invested back into the universities’ missions to ensure that they survive and thrive
The review process will be open, transparent and inclusive • We want a high level of involvement and engagement. • We encourage you to share your ideas – at campus forums and online. • We are actively seeking input from all members of the campus community, including faculty, students and staff.
