In July 2013, a collaborative effort led to significant changes in the FY'14 endowment payout process, involving multiple departments including the Office of the VP for Business Affairs and Financial Management Services. The primary goals were to simplify the payout process, eliminate the confusing shortfall method, better align cash and accounting, and facilitate easier budgeting for fund holders. The new approach introduces monthly payouts without requiring share liquidations, enhancing financial flexibility and stakeholder clarity regarding fund allocations.
