Message from President Davies

Thank you for visiting this site dedicated to the budgeting and planning process at EOU. The goal is to provide information as it is available and to allow for the basis of a thoughtful dialog about EOU’s resources and future.

Over the past year, we have implemented the first phase of our plan, “Positioning Eastern Oregon University for Mission Fulfillment and Financial Sustainability.”  The intensive and inclusive process that lead to its development  and adoption allowed us to address, in a proactive manner, a serious financial and economic crises for our University caused by the extremely poor economic conditions of our state.

Through the adoption of our plan, our financial conditions have in fact improved and we have realized the necessary savings in year one.  This does not mean that we have achieved and realized the full measures of the plan, nor does it mean that we have escaped from the economic and fiscal crises.  It does mean, however, that we are entering the next fiscal year at the level of fiscal stability we needed to.  It also means that we must remain diligent in our efforts and maintain our focus on the elements of the plan that are to be implemented this next year.  It also means that we must remain focused on efforts to control our costs and to increase our non-state revenues.

Later this month, we will provide a status report of the impacts of the first year of the plan and outline the necessary elements for the forthcoming year.  I want to be clear, this is a status report, not an amended plan or outlining additional reductions.  This report is a tool to update our community on the progress of the plan, and where we stand entering the next fiscal year.

There are many indicators of success, and this is what we will build upon to continually advance our great University.

I sincerely appreciate your support and dedication to EOU. Our faculty, staff and students truly make this an exceptional and vibrant community.

Bob Davies
President, Eastern Oregon University
