sCarolina Counts
Carolina Counts is the University-wide initiative to improve the efficiency of campus operations and reduce administrative costs, based on the key recommendations from the 2009 Bain & Company study.
It plays a key role in the University's budget strategy by serving as a roadmap for wisely implementing necessary budget reductions.
In 2010, Carolina Counts began focusing on 10 areas identified by Bain for major improvements. The first year focused on three central units: information technology, finance and human resources. The second year focused on the unit level - the professional schools and the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as seven central units. As of January 2012, the University had completed more than 93 of the 154 projects identified. Savings indentified and implemented from permanent state dollars total about $50 million.
