Dean’s Report

Dean Pleger reported that two professors have been added to the Science program with emphasis in biology, conservation and environmental. Record numbers attended the recent commencement and 70 students walked receiving their degree.

 

Site Survey Work

Tom Pinion presented information and maps focusing on utility placement and topography of the proposed building sites for the Science building and housing project. As City Engineer, he was able to collect enough data from existing campus records to create the utility maps and therefore Brey Architects does not have to perform similar tasks. No action was taken.

 

Facilities Planning Report

Armstrong presented a proposed budget of $160,000 for 2014 and a revised tobacco free policy. Dean Pleger reminded everyone that our campus was the first to have a smoke free policy.

 

Ice Age Trail Memorandum of Understanding

Dave Armstrong presented a revised Ice Age Trail agreement with Trail Alliance, Inc clarifying ownership, maintenance and allowed usage of the trail. Adm Geick requested that the trail agreement be shared with the City Park and Recreation Department who oversees city trails since this trail is also part of their system.

 

Dean’s Report

The Dean reported that administration applied for an economic development grant in connection with the proposed science facility to help fund an R & D component in the building.  Specifically, they asked for programming and facility space in the grant application and received strong community support.

 

The Dean also reported that his administration would also apply for growth grants to increase or supplement undergraduate degrees in science and engineering.

 

The Dean reported that Chancellor has contracted with Huron Academic Consultants to perform a study and make recommendations on how the campus system can trim or reallocate $4.2 million in their biennial budget. Faculty costs are increasing $1.9M and the base budget needs to be trimmed in order to afford the increase in costs.

 

The Dean announced that Dr. Premadasa, math professor, will be awarded a prestigious teaching award by the President of the Board of Regents.  One other faculty member was also honored with this award and our campus is distinguished to have two professors with this honor.
