Thanks to the Budget Advisory Group’s continued commitment to work toward a balanced budget, we have reduced our structural budget deficit by nearly 50%, adhering to the timeline proposed to the Board of Education. Because of the budget optimization efforts across the University and enrollments that continue to climb, Moody’s Investor Services Ratings has most recently affirmed our A1 issuer and revenue bond rating status.
