Funding for Spring 2004

The Technology Fee Advisory Committee (TFAC) received six proposals requesting a total of $993,397 in the Spring Call for Proposals. On March 23, the TFAC met in the Group Decision Center (GDC) to examine all requests. The proposals were considered twice. The first time, they were all discussed using the GDC technology with no formal motions and without regard to budget. Comments generated during the discussion on each proposal were sent to its author.

After the discussion, the committee members ranked the proposals individually using a ten-point scale. Finally, the committee discussed each proposal a second time with formal motions in the order that they were ranked and with attention to budget.

Based on the recommendations by the TFAC, Provost Schnell approved the following proposals.
