While there was much discussion, there was no resolution by the end of the meeting. Larry has met with Don Farish and President Arminana, and while Dr. Arminana has indicated that he would like to be able to purchase space for both areas, the global campus budget does not have any extra resources. He has said that each division must solve their own issues through their division resources. AFD plans to proceed with the purchase of a modular building to allow for the move of the Financial Services unit, and to connect the Human Services functions as discussed at the June meeting. Remaining revenues would go to the Provost for allocation to support instruction.
Likely needs are instructional equipment and part-time faculty.
This fee would apply to undergrads only. There may be a separate proposal for grad students. The next step is to draft the ballot language. Larry and Lynn McIntyre will meet next week to develop a starting document. This will be in draft form throughout October while the consultation process takes place.
