Historical Note

The Financial Planning Committee (FPC), a faculty-student body created under faculty by-laws, was formed in about 1968. It was composed of 6 faculty members, 4 undergraduate students, and 4 ex-officio administrators. The role of the group was to evaluate administrative proposals related to budgets and allocations, and provide suggestions and recommendations. The FPC also made their recommendations known to the greater campus community through publications like their 1975 "FPC Report: A Plan for Financial Stability," which was published as a supplement to the Wesleyan student newspaper, the Argus.
