This recommendation is accepted as proposed. VP Lubow will work with the Personnel Office to develop a plan to implement this recommendation as well as an appeals process. A bracket for this recommendation will be posted in the VP for Finance and Administration budget. If this recommendation is not met, it will be allocated across the vice presidential budgets.
2.12 Goal: To realize revenues by increasing the volume of parking permits issued and by collecting fines issued to non-permit parking violators.
This recommendation is accepted as proposed. VP Lubow needs to formulate a plan, including special problems identified for DCE students and at special (arts, etc.) events. He will constitute a parking committee which represents the different campus constituencies and prepare a plan by July 1, 1996. Any changes in policy should be effected for fall semester.
2.13 Goal: Discontinue membership in the University Press of New England.
This recommendation is accepted provisionally, as a plan for partial self-support is considered. A final determination of this issue will be made by summer.
2.14 Goal: Suspend the Faculty/Staff Annual Christmas Party until such time as there are sufficient funds to support this event without the necessity of sacrificing even a portion of a staff position.
Given the negative outcomes identified by the Planning Council to the sense of community and morale on campus, additional private support will be sought to maintain the few remaining events for faculty and staff and their families. In these difficult times, the cost of such events will be monitored closely to reduce budgets further if possible.
2.15 Goal: Suspend the "Take Our Children to Work Program" until such time as there are sufficient funds to support this event without the necessity of sacrificing even a portion of a staff position.
This recommendation is accepted as proposed. The budget will be reduced accordingly.
2.16 Goal: For the next phase of the development of UNH-Manchester, further integrate its operations and programs into the University, secure its existing degree programs for place-bound students, and emphasize its already established transfer mission.
In the context of 1.50 above, it may be possible to combine costs across the Durham and Manchester PAU's, but specific dollar reductions are hazardous to count on at this point. Provost Eggers will continue working with Dean Resch on these matters.
2.17 Goal: Locate the Center for Academic Resources, the Writing Center, the Math Center, and the Teaching Excellence Program in contiguous space and begin a process of sharing information and other resources.
This recommendation is accepted in principle, but combined space may be difficult to find. Any opportunity for cooperation among these services should be pursued.
