Dear colleagues,

Like other universities nationwide, the CU Boulder campus is embarking on a  to proactively address projections that expenses will exceed revenues in FY27. Our School of Education is simultaneously facing a pivotal juncture for the sustainability of our budget that requires us to think collectively and collaboratively about ways to address our shortfalls in the near term.  

Beginning in April through the end of the fiscal year, our school will engage in a budget sustainability project that aims to provide budget resiliency through transparency and multiple points of engagement for babyÖ±²¥app, staff, and students. We will form an ad hoc committee that will regularly engage with students, staff, and babyÖ±²¥app and advise the leadership team and dean. Stay tuned for details to follow in the April 3 and April 4 babyÖ±²¥app and staff meetings and an open forum for students on April 5 at noon.

We recognize that conversations about decision-making, structure, and budget sustainability can be challenging. We ask for your patience, positivity, and confidence in our good will and positive intent as we work through this process together.

Our vibrant School of Education community and our equity and justice commitments are critical parts of CU Boulder’s mission and service to the state and nation — those truths have not and will not waver. We are committed to thinking and working together, remaining student- and people-centric, and upholding our vital research, teaching, and public mission.

Please stay tuned and take heart. You and your work are important to me, and we see and appreciate each of you. I look forward to moving through this process together and learning from you. 

Sincerely,
Fernando Rosario-Ortiz
Interim Dean
