Identify Activity That Will Require
Augmentation in FY 2001-02
PRESIDENT’S
SUPPORT for CAMPUS and STUDENT INITIATIVES
A defining characteristic
of the President’s administration is his personal
accessibility and strong support for the endeavors and achievements
of faculty, staff, and students. This philosophy is often
expressed as “watering the green spots” and
its effective implementation requires some budgetary flexibility
that allows the President to respond to requests for funding
or sponsorship of initiatives, special activities, events,
or travel from faculty, staff, students, and the community.
Many such examples exist ranging from a community service
project to presentation of a paper at a national conference.
The allocation of funding to support these activities is
on a non-recurring basis, although requests such as these
are on-going.
The President has relied
on about $200,000 in additional support derived primarily
from excess revenues. The permanent allocation of this request
reduces the reliance on general reserves and excess revenues
for funding of these activities.
