CoAS Budget

The College of Arts and Sciences needs to identify approximately $1.6 million dollars in permanent reductions and approximately $800,000 in fiscal reductions for the 2010-11 academic year. These reductions must be identified and recommended to the Dean by October 28, 2009 by an Ad Hoc CoAS Budget Committee (see below for structure).
