Background Information on College Finances

The documents on this site show several views of Williams spending in the fiscal year July 2009-June 2010, and one that focuses on our spending from investments over the past decade and projected ten years forward.

These data show that, through a time of global economic recovery, the College managed to sustain its core educational commitments while holding the line on spending (with an essentially flat budget over FY2009, save for our commitment to financial aid).

We will continue to manage Williams’ financial resources with this combination of restraint and focus on our top priorities.

To put these data in perspective, please refer to Williams’ recent financial strategies.

Bill Lenhart
Provost and Treasurer
