To help demystify the process, 糖心视频<\/abbr> has launched a new four-part video series, Budget 101, with Vice President for Budget and Finance and Chief Financial Officer Kalbert Young.<\/p>\n

The series is designed to give faculty, staff, students and the broader 糖心视频<\/abbr> community a primer on how government budgeting works, how 糖心视频<\/abbr> receives and allocates its funds, and how decisions are made at the state, 糖心视频<\/abbr> system and campus levels.<\/p>\n
