Both Huidekoper and Rudenstine said that there is some budget information available even without the report.
"It is important to communicate clearly and regularly to the University
community about financial commitments and directions of the central administration," Fineberg wrote in an e-mail message.
But the Faculty calls for a more detailed breakdown of accounts.
Kishlansky said there is some disagreement about what constitutes a clear report.
"We want the disaggregated information," he said. "It does not help us to know what the endowment is--we want things broken out the way a budget is broken out."
According to Kishlansky, the central administration has not been able to provide FAS with a detailed enough account of how and where the money FAS contributes to the budget is spent.
The report expressed disappointment that Project ADAPT--a recently implemented series of computer programs intended to organize and collect University information--has not yet been able to give FAS more explicit financial information.
