MSU receives 30 percent of the tax revenue. The funds are used for non-recurring expenses and all MSU departments are eligible to submit funding requests for the riverboat funds. The requests are reviewed by MSU President Robert Hebert and the executive staff.
Special emphasis is placed on proposals that benefit the largest number of employees and students.
In order for us to take advantage of the benefits of technology and to provide distance education, we must have the campus wired and train the faculty to use the technology. Several campus departments received computers, software and related equipment including the Registrar's Office, enrollment information, athletics, scholarships and testing, academic affairs, data processing, economic education, business affairs and facilities and plant operations office. Additional projects funded included facility security and upgrades for computer systems in University Police, a special faculty development in-service, recruiting and presentation equipment, classroom supplies and equipment, improvements to the business conference center and repairs to the telephone system.
