With the passage of Senate Bill 270 during the 2013 legislative session, many of the duties of the OUS Budget Operations department are transitioning to the Higher Education Coordinating Commission (HECC).  Other duties have transitioned to the institutions.  The information contained on the Budget Operations web page should be considered historical reference documents and will not be updated after July 1, 2014.

The Oregon University System's Budget Operations Department was a division of OUS Finance and Administration. The unit was responsible for operating budget planning, policy, development of the biennial budget, the annual operating budget, and tuition and fee policy.  The Budget Department also prepared legislative fiscal impact analyses, conducted research studies and special ad hoc analysis of budgetary trends.  In addition, the department analyzed institutional costs and resource requirements, provided revenue and expenditure forecasting, and performed annual system level analyses for the OUS academic year and summer-session tuition fee books.
