Left unaddressed, cash insolvency means that SOU would be unable to meet its Tinancial obligations, including to employees, lenders, and vendors.  \nThe 2026 Legislature is expected to adopt a Special Purpose Appropriation that provides for the possibility of emergency Tiscal support to SOU. But before receiving this funding, SOU will be required to issue a report, by April 30, 2026, that describes how it will remain cash solvent for the remainder of the 2025-27 biennium and will achieve ongoing structural Tiscal stability through at least 2027-29.  \nFailing to address SOU’s projected cash insolvency would result in a multi-million-dollar default on obligations to employees and others. This would have an enormous economic and educational impact on southern Oregon and the State of Oregon. Moreover, failing to quickly develop a turnaround plan is likely to trigger a sharp decline in public and student conTidence in the university, further destabilizing the university’s Tinances through enrollment loss for 2026-27.  \nTo support SOU and HECC, we have provided the following Statement of Work (“SOW”), representing Phase 1 of a potential two-phase process to assist SOU and HECC in its development and implementation of a transition plan for SOU.  \nDeloitte looks forward to supporting this work for SOU. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this SOW further, please contact me at (802)-281-2979 or [mcluver@deloitte.com](mcluver@deloitte.com).  \nSincerely,  \nMegan E.
