Name Change for PAC

The list generated last week was narrowed down to four finalists, which were voted on via Zoom poll.  Resource Allocation and Program Planning (RAPP) was voted in as the clear favorite.

ACTION NEEDED: Update all website and inform the campus community

CTE Committee Request

We’ll be voting on this next week.  Don’t forget to talk to your constituents about it.

ACTION NEEDED: Vote will take place next meeting

Executive Secretary Position for RAPP

We have someone interested for Spring.  The chairs will work to get someone in the position for Spring and then we’ll work to have a more open, collegewide recruitment for 2023-2024.

ACTION NEEDED: Chairs will report back more at a future meeting.

Resource Allocations

Voting members were assigned to teams, with one member from each constituent group being assigned to each team, and with the chairs doing their best to make sure the people in each group are not reviewing their own division's requests.

Erik gave instructions on what members should do with the spreadsheets on the RAPP resource allocation page.  Tina asked that folks consider not just additional personnel or facilities requirements in Columns V and W, but also additional ETS (Educational Technology Services) requirements.  Part of this review can also include whether we need to send questions back to the requesters to clarify or provide additional info.

Folks worked in their groups in breakout rooms for most of an hour.

Reflection and wrap up:

• The form could be improved.  We should add a column that describes the item being requested before the column about equity implications.  Also, the folks filling out the form need more detailed instructions on what information to include. 
• It would be helpful for RAPP to have a cheat sheet for members with the language of what qualifies for each funding source. 
• It would be helpful to have a list of other potential funding resources e.g. presidents fund and the foundation.

ACTION NEEDED: Teams will continue this work in breakout rooms next meeting.
