The University feels pressure to add staff more than faculty. The academic departments will need staff also. Rick Merrill asked about the status of the surplus property and auction. Phil said that the University hopes to have one every other month. The surplus property is growing dramatically.
Staff is very in that department is thin.
Phil said he has not checked on that lately on surplus property and he will follow up on that. The last auction was the first one in 9 months. The department has a backlog regularly of 100 requests to move furniture. Central Receiving has been behind. The employees in that area have been working overtime and we called in people from other areas.
