· Next week (3/6) supplemental funding proposals will be presented for classroom technology upgrades in the colleges (i.e. not general assignment classrooms) and expansion of the campus wireless network.
· There was brief discussion about use of signs to publicize student funded projects, how effective they were, and who should pay for them. Huitt reported that Facilities may pay for signs in order to appropriately acknowledge student fee contributions.
