Overview

Our committees and councils help guide campus business operations by providing strategic direction, sharing best practices, and building alignment across the University. Through cross-functional dialogue and collaboration, these groups help shape the vision of Financial and Administrative Services – strengthening operations while promoting a culture of integrity and transparency, stewardship, collaboration, service excellence, and continuous improvement.

Collaboration Across Groups

Each group is integral to advancing the goals of Financial and Administrative Services and supporting a strong, connected community of business professionals across the University. Groups work collaboratively with each other and individually, depending on specific needs and goals.

Council of University Business Officers

CUBO provides leadership and alignment across campus by guiding the University’s strategic and operational direction for business operations. CUBO membership is determined at the discretion of the AVP and includes VP- and Dean-level chief business officers from academic and administrative units only.

TX Admin Group

The TX Admin Group, a subset of the CUBO, comprises chief business officers from UT Austin’s academic colleges and schools who meet regularly to collaborate on issues unique to academic operations.

Community of Practice

COP is a cross‑functional forum. While it has strong roots in finance, its focus spans all areas of University business operations, creating a space for broad, interdisciplinary dialogue. COP membership is determined at the discretion of the AVP and includes CUBO members, their delegates, and business process owners from units across campus.
