Welcome to Cleveland State University’s Organizational Resilience/Financial Stability (OR/FS) information page.
In the summer of 2023, President Bloomberg and the senior leadership team put in place an inclusive plan to build the organizational resilience and financial stability that CSU will need in order to thrive in the changing landscape of higher education. This plan will include recommendations for budget cutting, cost containment measures and strategic investments to ensure that this University continues to serve students and the city of Cleveland as the anchor institution most critical to the economic success and growth of our region.
Our Organizational Resilience and Financial Stability Plan will reflect the input of the CSU community and will be guided by the following core principles:
1. Stay true to our core mission as the only public urban research university in Northeast Ohio
2. Prioritize the needs of our students and their educational experience
3. Develop and invest in priority strategies that manage costs and result in savings and revenue growth
4. Implement strategies informed by data and monitored for effectiveness
5. Leverage the creative thinking and recommendations of CSU stakeholders across campus
6. Prioritize a decision-making approach that is inclusive, equitable, and transparent to the campus community
