2019/20 Budget Plan for Approval
STANFORD UNIVERSITY BUDGET PLAN PLAN BUDGET UNIVERSITY STANFORD 2019/20 stanford university Budget Plan 2 019 / 2 0 Approved: This Budget Plan was approved by the Stanford University Board of Trustees June 12–13, 2019. This publication can be found at: https://budget.stanford.edu/budget-plans STANFORD UNIVERSITY BUDGET PLAN 2019/20 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY To The Board of Trustees: I am pleased to submit the Stanford University 2019/20 Budget Plan for approval. This budget focuses first and foremost on maintaining Stanford’s many strengths. It also begins to build financial strategies that over time will support the major initiatives of the Long Range Planning (LRP) process. A central component of the LRP process is addressing the affordability challenge in this region. It is—and will continue to be—a major priority of Stanford’s budget planning. We are budgeting for a solid salary program for faculty and staff. We are also continuing long-term efforts to enhance our housing programs with over half of the capital plan and capital budget earmarked for housing. Once the Affordability Task Force completes its work later in the year, we expect additional investments across a range of areas that will support our community. The growth in the general funds portion of the university’s budget continues to be very modest, with limited capacity for incremental allocations. However, we were able to fund several key priorities. These include an expansion of financial aid for undergraduate and graduate students, enhanced support for student mental health, systems and network infrastructure, and improvements in our research platforms. -

As we conclude the current academic year, a year like no other in Stanford’s history, I am confident that our budget for next year will support the university’s return to a more normal operating mode as we continue to build on the excitement and potential of the Long-Range Vision. In developing the Budget Plan for 2021/22 we have benefitted from strong market returns and a significantly improved public health situation. We have built the budget by focusing on several key priorities: restoring a market-based salary program, enhancing financial support for our students, and addressing essential operating needs in support of the research enterprise. The Budget Plan has two parts. The first is the Consolidated Budget for Operations, which includes all of Stanford’s anticipated operating revenue and expense for 2021/22. The second is the Capital Budget, which is set in the context of a multi-year Capital Plan. -
