  1. Minutes. MSC to approve the Minutes of 3/26/2008.
  2. Agenda. MSC to approve the Agenda as distributed.
  3. Communications and Announcements.
    1. Two memos were received from M. Caldwell, dated
      3/21/2008, regarding the re-election of J. Constable and
      J. Kus to the committee for new three year terms.
    2. T. Wielicki updated the committee regarding the recent
      meeting of the Chargeback Committee. He noted that several
      chargeback fees will be increased; members of the committee
      requested that the new fee schedules be widely distributed
      on campus so that various units can better plan for the
      increases when preparing their budgets for AY 08-09.
  4. New Business.
    There was none.
  5. Possible Revisions to New Budget Model.
    There was a wide-ranging discussion of various issues related to
    the memo (dated 2/25/08) sent to Provost Echeverria by the Council
    of Deans. In brief, the deans have requested that the implementation
    of the revised budget model be frozen (with the AY 08-09 budget
    based 33% on the new model and 67% on the old model) and that the
    issue of salary cost equity be considered. Members of the committee
    debated these two issues and considered how the University Budget
    Committee (UBC) might respond to the dean’s memo. Focus of some
    discussion was the matter of “efficiency” in the delivery of instruction
    within the various colleges/schools. The committee agreed to continue
    this discussion at the next meeting.
