PAIR and OMB to merge
The Office of Planning, Analysis and Institutional Â鶹¹ÙÍø and the Office of Management and Budget have merged into a single department under the vice chancellor for administrative services. The change was effective Oct. 20, 2025.
The combined department will operate under the leadership of Briana Walters, the director of OMB. OMB is part of the financial and business services division, reporting to Associate Vice Chancellor Amanda Wall.
The realignment will allow PAIR to remain engaged in supporting academic planning and accreditation while also expanding its impact across campus operations, strategic budgeting and enrollment efforts. Given the similar scope of responsibilities and complementary skills between the two departments, this change provides an opportunity to better support institutional priorities, enhance reporting, identify efficiencies and strengthen coordination between the PAIR and OMB teams.
PAIR is currently located in the Eielson Building, and OMB is located in the Butrovich Building. At this time, all team members will remain in their current office locations. Future adjustments to department structure, name and locations will be shared with the campus community as they are developed and finalized.
