  1. Minutes. MSC to approve the Minutes of 8/29/07.
  2. Agenda. MSC to approve the Agenda as distributed.
  3. Communications and Announcements.
    1. An undated memo from Provost Echeverria, regarding New Budget
      Model, was received on 9/4/07. Agenda for 9/12/07.
    2. J. Kus noted that he had received a copy of the “Advancement
      Division Annual Action Plans 2007­2008” and he inquired if other
      committee members had received copies of the same document.
      None had. The committee will request that P. Smits attend a future
      Budget Committee meeting to review this document and that all
      committee members receive a copy prior to such discussion.
  4. New Business.
    There was none.
  5. Update on the AY 2007­2008 Budget.
    J. Waayers distributed a spreadsheet with the preliminary draft of
    the Academic Affairs budget for AY 2007­2008. It was noted that
    Academic Affairs had not received its final budget allocation from
    the campus Budget office; final allocations should be known
    shortly. It was also noted that the proposed preliminary allocation
    was based on using the same budget formula as last year (that is,
    one third allocation using the revised budget model and two thirds
    using the older version of the model). The committee requested
    that J. Waayers make a spreadsheet available showing what the
    colleges/schools would have received if the distribution had been
    based on using a two­thirds allocation from the revised budget
    model. There was much discussion of the various supplements
    to the general fund allocation (i.e., lottery money, Continuing
    Education Reserve Fund monies, etc.) as well as off­the­top
    allocations. Discussion of the AY 2007­2008 Budget will continue
    at the next meeting.

    Several additional items for the committee’s agenda were noted
