IV.
9:05 – 9:15 OFFICER REPORTS
A. Brad Krick, President - In
November BoR meeting, the Regents briefly discussed regulation to change the
employee tuition waiver. It was put on the agenda for the December meeting. At
the December Mtg. 125 people showed up to oppose and negative change in the
tuition waiver. At Jan. Staff Alliance mtg, Gambell presented about the budget
and there was a proposed cut in the UA budget. May have to hold open 30-50% of
vacant positions as opposed to the current 20%. He was surprised at the number
of comments in the last survey in support of cutting positions. That is not the
direction that he is looking. He did receive the message about UA
administration was "top heavy". The comments are still being
"sanitized" before they can be released. On the UAF side, the Budget
Options group currently doesn't have any staff representation but the committee
does not have any decision making authority. They make proposals to the
Planning and Budget Committee by the beginning o February.
Capitol budget - The
combined heat and power is the highest priority even higher than the new
Engineering Bldg.
B. Ashley Munro, Vice
President - Orientation. Breakfast with the Chancellor and cabinet. All staff
council members are invited and encouraged to attend. Committee chairs will be
promoting participation in their committees. The regular staff council mtg.
will start at 1:00pm. We are looking for other room options. Rural
representatives are encouraged to travel in for the orientation meeting. Couple
of awards. Chancellor's Cornerstone award nominations are being taken.
Selection committee is being formed. Staff Make Students Count - nominations
are due on Feb 21. Comments on Shaping Alaska's Future. Comments
are due Feb 17th.
Chris Beks mentioned that not having staff on the Budget Options
Group has not gone unnoticed and that there really should have been.
Proposed resolution - Chris Beks. Request that the Budget Options
Group include a Staff Council member.
