Why this exists

A public university's budget is students' tuition and taxpayers' money. This site puts the public budget books, class schedules, state payroll and peer reports in one place so anyone can see where the money goes and whether it reaches the classroom. It is about shared governance, not any one person.

Why this exists

A public university's budget is students' tuition and taxpayers' money, and every dollar should serve the best possible learning for students and the community that supports them.

This dashboard puts the public budget books, the class schedule, the state payroll and the peer reports in one place, in plain language, so faculty, staff, students and the public can see where the money goes and ask whether it is reaching the classroom.

It is not about any one person: it is about shared governance, better decisions, and a stronger public education. Every figure comes from a public document, every counting rule is written down, and a university's budget office and readers can add context next to any number.

Disclaimer

Unofficial, independent, not affiliated with any university, and not guaranteed accurate — do your own assessment.

This site is a personal, independent compilation of publicly published budget books, budgeted-employee reports and state payroll records. It is not affiliated with, reviewed by or endorsed by any university, and nothing here is an official figure or statement.

The numbers were extracted by software and the answers are generated by an AI assistant; both can contain errors (mis-read lines, mis-matched names, mis-classified titles, mistaken interpretation), and salary figures are budgeted or payroll amounts, not what any person ultimately earned.

Nothing on this site is advice, and it must not be used for any employment, compensation, evaluation or other decision. Treat everything as a starting point: ask the data box your own questions, plot what you want to see, and verify against the official documents listed under Data sources at the top of every dashboard page.
