To the campus community,
Over the years, UNCG has continually improved administrative processes that enable supporting units to efficiently serve a rapidly growing student body, its faculty and staff, and the state's citizens. The PACE initiative, a formalized process initiated by UNC President Bowles, has required us to look even deeper at our processes and for other opportunities to reduce or avoid new costs.
President Bowles has committed to be a vocal champion on behalf of the campuses of the University System. As he makes the case for resources, however, he must also assure the state's legislature and taxpayers that the significant resources already dedicated to the University are utilized as efficiently and effectively as possible.
To assist in that effort, he has commissioned a blue-ribbon President's Advisory Committee on Efficiency & Effectiveness (PACE) of state and business leaders to review the university's activities and to provide findings and possible recommendations to him.
While we have already submitted two reports to President Bowles of our PACE initiatives, I encourage the campus community to share ideas for cost savings and cost avoidance through the use of this web site. Cost savings must continue to be a way of doing business at UNCG.
Sincerely,
Patricia A Sullivan
