  5. Proposed Certificate of Advanced Study - Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse
    Practitioner.
    The committee met with members of the Department of Nursing faculty as
    well as the Associate Dean of the College of Health and Human Services
    and the Dean of Extended Education to review the proposed Certificate of
    Advanced Study – Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. This
    program will be entirely supported by student fees (and students in the
    program will be supported by a stipend that will cover not only the
    Extended Ed fees but such things as books, travel, and other expenses).
    The stipend program is funded for at least three years via a grant from
    the California Department of Mental Health. After much discussion, the
    committee made the following motions.
    MSC to waive second reading.
    MSC that the University Budget Committee finds that there are no
    negative budgetary implications related to the implementation
    of the proposed Certificate of Advanced Study - Psychiatric
    Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. The committee notes that
    the entire costs of the program will be borne by the students
    and by grants received by the department (i.e., there are no
    general fund costs associated with this program). The
    committee requests that this program be subject to Budget
    Committee review during the second year of the program in
    order to monitor the status of the program’s budget.
  6. Update on AY 2008-2009 budget.
    There was no new information available regarding the current year’s
    budget. We await action by the state legislature.
  7. Update on ad hoc committee to review aspects of new budget model
    The ad hoc committee has not met since the last UBC meeting. It was
    noted that T. Wielicki will meet in the near future with J. Waayers to
    discuss aspects of a proposed revision to the new budget model.

MSC to adjourn: at 4:02 p.m.

The next UBC meeting will be on Wednesday, January 28th, 2009 at 3:15 p.m. in
