DASG Report was given by Anita Chamraj. DASG’s first meeting was on October 4th, 2021

Key goals are:

1) Pay for students serving on Senate starting in 2022-23

2) Working toward having no police presence on campus

3) Mental health. Finance Committee will aim to institutionalize support of student needs making sure that finance is accessible and more transparent to students.

Actual Program Review questions will be updated by IPBT after hiring prioritization and resource allocation are handled. Timeline for departments and divisions to submit Program Review late Winter/early Spring to give chairs and Deans ample time for meaningful responses. Equity questions on Program Review should refer to responses given on Reflection Responses document from each department/area. 

Resource Request spreadsheet will be requested for completion in early/mid Fall 2021 to inform our resource allocations. The date of October 22 was set as the date for chairs to have requests to their dean. 
Randy presented an overview of both Strong Workforce and Perkins funds. SWP Round 5 local and regional budgets total approximately $2 million. Perkins VI funds are $450K. Both funds mandate that these sums be spent by 6/30/2022.
IPBT members and guests joined breakout rooms to review what Enhanced Lottery funds were and what each can be used for.

Since breakout room discussion were extended to allow everyone to complete their conversations, “Hiring Criteria” will be discussed in detail next week. Christina did state that Lottery funds available tentatively seem to be between $300,000 and $400,000. $3.5 million is the amount expected in instructional equipment funds for the campus to be shared by instruction and student services.
