DENVER — An annual finance report from CU Boulder shows the university system has kept costs under control and tuition in check over a six-year period, according to CU President Todd Saliman.
The total $428 figure translates to cost savings to CU’s four campuses and system administration, cost savings to departments and units, costs avoided, cost savings to students, reallocation of resources and other measures, according to a news release from CU Boulder. University officials said efficiencies are achieved “through a wide range of efforts,” including finding low-cost sources of books and other educational materials, with savings passed on to students. Some other ways to achieve these is to install LED lights and better boilers, roofs, insulation and other equipment to saving on energy costs across buildings.
