The proposed methodology was designed to implement the Board of Governor's January 9, 1973, motion regarding the translation of the university's 1973-74 operating budgeting into a program budget showing the resources required by the various university programs and outputs. The methodology defines the main functions of the university in terms of primary programs (instruction, research, and public service) and the activities supportive to them (services to academic community and university administration). The line-item operation budget is assigned to these functions and their outputs. The methodology was tested on a historical data base for 1971-72. Along with a detailed description of the method, this report includes the project time schedule, initiation form, program classification structure, software-to-implement methodology, sample software outputs, a resource requirements prediction model, and budgets.
