The presentations have included proposed reallocations as a possible source of funding. These are simply proposals and are not yet planned reallocations. This restriction also applies to the addition of projected revenues in the proposals. The need for this reallocation has been discussed for three years but the amount to be reallocated has not been determined. From the unit perspective, reallocations may be perceived as reductions despite the fact that budgets are not changed.
Most reallocations require some type of behavioral change at the unit level.
Some reallocations leave funds in the budget but redirect their use to other activities. These reallocations require change and may be perceived as reductions. Matches are an example of this type of reallocation. Some reallocations leave funds in the budget but redirect these funds to other classifications of expenditure such as salaries. The reallocations done under QRP were of this type and were perceived as budget reductions.
