Biographical / historical:

The Faculty Budget and Planning Committee (FPBC), previously known as The Budget Review Committee as well as the Resources and Planning Committeee abd Faculty Planning Committee, is composed of students and faculty. It formed in the fall of 1971 under the name of the Budget Review Committee, to allow for student and faculty oversight of budgeting processes (see Barnard Bulletin, March 9, 1972, page 8). The committee was originally involved in reviewing the budgets once they were completed. Sometime in 1977 or 1978, they were invited to take a more active role in budget formation. However, the committee was critiqued by students because it only considered student perspectives "in name only" (Barnard Bulletin, November 24, 1975).

The name of this committee changed around 1983 to the Resources and Planning Committee. Archivists believe that the current name of this committee is the Faculty Budget and Planning Committee (FBPC), which is a current standing committee as of the writing of this finding aid; the date of the name change to FBPC is unknown.
