About SUMAR
The Committee to Strengthen University Management and Resources (SUMAR) is chaired by Princeton's executive vice president and consists of University cabinet members and senior administrators.
Specifically, SUMAR identifies and facilitates projects that will strengthen our workforce, business operations, and services; enhance our efficiency; and appropriately utilize our resources. SUMAR encourages all departments to implement changes within their units if they have the ability to do so without central assistance. SUMAR considers the costs and benefits of proposed initiatives with particular attention to the impact of those initiatives on units and individuals within the University community. In cases that are interdepartmental in scope, SUMAR members identify managers to lead the related analysis and possible implementation.
