Members of the Revenue Generation and Institutional Savings Task Force were appointed to identify opportunities that will support long-term financial sustainability for UC Davis.
The goal of the task force is to identify efficiencies and revenue generating activities that help address the core fund operating deficit, resulting in at least $50 million in ongoing net revenue and/or savings that can be applied to the campus core mission within 3-7 years.
Task Force Charge
- Identify ideas for how UC Davis can increase net revenue generation or achieve institutional savings. Ideas should be gathered through broad campus outreach as well as research on opportunities or approaches in higher education generally.
- Assist in reviewing and analyzing the ideas gathered in a systematic way to identify the most promising opportunities for the campus to pursue.
- Recommend specific actionable net revenue generating opportunities that are sustainable for ongoing financial impact, can support the core mission, and are compatible with the strategic plan and campus values.
- Recommend ideas that could result in significant savings through efficiencies, changed practices, and/or leveraging all funds to better support our mission.
- If identified, recommend ideas that would result in significant one-time net revenue or savings.
- Identify barriers or challenges to revenue generation or achieving savings, especially those that involve university practices, polices, or structures.
