The Council of University Business Officers is guided by the following principles.

  1. We recognize and embrace our role as leaders and stewards who are accountable for balancing institutional risk with business effectiveness and efficiencies, improving business practices (including policy, processes, and support), considering optimal resource utilization and implementing appropriate controls.
     
  2. We act professionally, with integrity and hold ourselves accountable to each other and the institution for the integrity of the university functions we oversee or govern.
     
  3. We value active engagement and communication with each other and will foster engagement and communication in our units and throughout campus appropriately.

  5. We work collaboratively to meet our collective financial and administrative needs in service of the broader mission of The University of Texas at Austin.
     
  6. We consider what is in the best interest of the University, rather than our local Colleges, Schools and Units, and align our decisions with the Vision and Mission of the University.
