As part of the continued commitment to strengthen Clemson’s operational effectiveness and prepare for the future of higher education, the University is implementing organizational changes to better align its financial functions.
The financial functions across the University will be centralized under the Division of Finance and Operations to create a more unified and efficient approach to financial management, effective September 1.
Clemson is closely monitoring several economic variables affecting higher education. These include potential shifts in research funding, changes to indirect cost returns and changes to federal financial aid programs. By taking proactive steps now, the University is positioning for long-term financial strength and sustainability.
Centralizing these functions will:
- Strengthen integration between strategy and operations.
- Align and streamline resources across the university.
- Ensure that individuals receive the support and guidance needed to effectively carry out their responsibilities.
- Promote consistency and collaboration across all financial functions.
- Standardize approaches to financial functions.
Starting immediately, Finance and Operations team members will begin meeting with business officers and their teams to better understand the specific needs and processes within each unit they serve.
