GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Core services to students would be protected from budget reductions as much as possible. Priority would be given to programs and services that focus on student health, safety and well-being, compliance obligations and risk management, and academic success. Budget cuts would have to be sustainable and would not be uniform across the division.
