UAB asks board to approve revised fiscal 2026 budget to fund merit increases
Summary
UAB presented a revised fiscal 2026 operating budget to fund employee merit increases effective Jan. 1, 2026; trustees approved the revision by voice vote after brief comment about implementation challenges.
The Board of Trustees approved a revised fiscal 2026 annual operating budget for the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) to fund employee merit increases effective Jan. 1, 2026.
Dan Keith presented the resolution and said UAB had reevaluated its financial position since the initial September budget and recommended the revision to enable salary increases. Trustee comments acknowledged the complexity of implementing the changes; one trustee thanked "Dr. Watts" for work on the issue, noting it had been "a little bit challenging." Keith recommended approval and the board adopted the item by voice vote.
The board did not provide a line‑item breakdown of the revised budget in the verbal record and no roll‑call tally was recorded in the transcript. The resolution delegates implementation and budget execution to UAB administration.
