<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">As many of you may have already heard from your Presidents, as part of a budget timeline discussion at this morning’s Council of Presidents meeting the idea of allowing for adjustments to your Budget Needs
Survey was addressed. While the deadline for transmittal to the State Regents was October 1<sup>st</sup>, the collective decision was made to allow for adjustments to be made to your survey and, to allow for the changes, a new deadline of Friday, October 4,
2024 for receipt was established<span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">.</span> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The extension and possible adjustments to institutional surveys will, we hope, allow for a more robust information flow to the policymakers in the Legislature and the Executive Office, providing a broader
understanding of the operational (and capital) strategies and needs for each institution in the system.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Please make every effort to submit an amended survey to me as soon as possible. I know the new deadline is essentially immediate, but I hope the extension provides you with an opportunity to perform a review
of your budget priorities. You should submit any revised FY26 Budget Need Survey using the forms originally circulated to you on August 27, 2024, and submit by email to
