Identify Activity That Will Require
Augmentation in FY 2001-02
FACULTY OFFICE FURNITURE
The division requests
a permanent allocation of $125,000 to establish a fund to
replace faculty office furniture. Due to lack of funding
over the past decade, faculty office furniture is usually
an amalgamation of discarded furniture, garage sale specials
and other non professional pieces. The committee has recommended
that faculty receive up to $2,500 to furnish their offices.
This furniture would be available through a variety of contracts
for furniture that already exist within the University structure.
This would allow faculty offices to be properly furnished
and provide a professional appearance for the faculty member
and to visitors.
The Academic Affairs
Facilities Committee would develop a continuous three-year
plan to allocate these resources. Funds would be provided
by academic department, to replace necessary faculty office
furniture from a limited set of options approved by the
Division.
