The proposal is an early step in a budget process that will end with final legislative action around April 2001. NDSU's proposal was presented Feb. 17 to the State Board of Higher Education for President Chapman by Vice President for Academic Affairs Craig Schnell, who filled in while the Chapmans were out of state on a personal matter. Not included are salary adjustments, which have yet to be determined. We think we have come with a strong list of programs that will help us meet our goal of taking NDSU to the next level of service to our state. Obtain, install, and maintain software to provide graduation audits and electronically track student progress.
Ultimate goal is to have a regional model for student advising.
Students should get immediate, one-stop information to make transfer an easier process. We are requesting funds to acquire software, training, and support staff. To expand our academic offerings which will enhance enrollment, majors, and economic development, we are proposing several new programs. We are experiencing considerable interest by students and the food industry in this program. We have also received two grants to provide initial support but need to put it on a firmer basis.
