CITS主任Bret Ingerman向全体教员介绍了计算机库存情况:

FPPC主席Tom Denny教授报告了委员会的活动情况. 后 FPPC made its recommendation of key budget parameters to the Board, it learned that 学院获得了1900万美元的无限制遗产. 丹尼教授想 that an appropriate use of a large bequest would be to invest it and use the income for enhancing faculty salaries in order to gain ground with the group we compare ourselves to. 在未来,他希望看到FPPC警惕这些巨额资金 并在如何使用它们的讨论中发挥更大的作用. Denny教授收到 email from a colleague asking if faculty compensation is still a central core 价值 在大学里. 他说,他不确定学院是否还在努力赚钱 在教员薪酬方面,与比较组的差距较大.

Professor Una Bray said that she has heard rumors that 火博体育大学 will no longer 将其与CWWCO名单进行比较,并怀疑这个谣言是否属实. 她说 几年来,教师们一直得到加薪的承诺 我们比较组的等级. 她还想知道教员们是否会接受 FPPC和院长的年薪表.

Professor Denny stated that with the new Dean perhaps it hasn’t been pushed through 以正常的方式,但报告会完成的.

There was a question about whether the College expected the $19 million in unrestricted 遗赠. 丹尼教授认为是.

斯达德利校长把主席职位让给了约翰·伯曼.

斯达德利校长解释说,这笔遗赠的钱,所指的反映不止于此 一年的资金,包括已经计入旅程活动收入的部分. 一些 是针对一个特定的目的,这是由捐助者决定的还是反映 捐赠人或家庭利益. 现在大部分都是不受限制的捐赠 资金,并根据优先事项,决定在哪里使用. 如果是遗赠 还没在禀赋中,它就在另一行产生了直接收入 经营预算和所产生的钱用于支付眼前的需要. 如果遗赠 into unallocated endowment, it can al方法 be allocated to a specific priority or simply 增加资金总量,实现重点目标.

She noted that Professor Denny did an extraordinary job of focusing FPPC's attention 关注本年度的重大问题,关注FPPC的大局,以及 确定具体的支出和收入领域,仔细追求..

The faculty compensation question (as a core 价值) continues to be a top institutional 价值. 这是学院试图最大化的长期目标之一 机构的健康状况. 共同制定战略计划和决策 about faculty compensation and other important priorities for the future will be made 和共享. 我们观察的这所学校的学生群体没有变化. 它是 hard to gain ground against colleges who have bigger endowments and who are getting 丰富的快. 火博体育可能会取得进展,但我们必须一起想办法 要做到这一点.

伯曼院长把椅子还给了斯达德利校长,斯达德利校长随后向IPC汇报了最新情况.

President Studley said that strategic planning is moving along well, and IPC has received 来自校园各地的好点子,帮助我们实现优先目标. 额外的想法 are still welcome, especially from key committees and programs that reflect special 视角. IPC将这些想法融入到经常性战略建议中 会与校园共享吗. IPC将在若干方面落实这些建议 方法. 必要的背景资料将被开发,使校园和 IPC可以看到后果、联系和成本. 将寻求初步建议 并结合起来创造出更好更有效的前进方式.

IPC正在解决几个大问题. 有很多建设性的反馈 收到了火博体育工作目标的报告,IPC是否会修改目标并与大家分享. We 需要明确地处理:
