At its June 19th meeting, UMDNJ's Board of Trustees unanimously approved a $1.5 billion FY 2008 budget that greatly increases University investments in controls and compliance infrastructure, and for the first time in two years, moves University Hospital toward a more sound financial footing by achieving a break-even budget, pending final resolution of the State budget.
The budget document, which does not include layoffs, also provides $3.97 million in additional resources to the University's Offices of Internal Audit, Legal Management, and Ethics and Compliance, as well as startup costs for the new Contract Management Office. The commitment further advances initiatives instituted this year as the Board of Trustees began implementation of a reform agenda throughout the institution.
