Chancellors of the various state universities have sent a letter saying that the decision to take the reduction from utilities when utility costs are going up makes no sense. In the past utilities have been exempt from the contingency, but are no longer exempt. Vice Chancellor Poshard stated that the University is exploring producing our own electricity. Pansy Jones was congratulated for winning the Sturgis Award. Margaret Winters reported that a summary report of RAMP recommendations for FY03 was prepared following last month s meeting and sent to the Chancellor.
