UPAC submits report to president
The University Planning Advisory Council (UPAC) has completed a yearlong review of the University’s systemic budget shortfall. The council's review has been informed by an exchange of information and ideas among the University community, eliciting more than 100 proposals from members of the campus community focusing on cost-saving or revenue-generating measures for consideration. After a comprehensive review of these submissions, as well as of the feedback garnered via two all-University forums and other feedback mechanisms, the members of UPAC have submitted a report of their findings and related recommendations to President Corrigan.
The report and recommendations are now available for review on the UPAC website: www.sfsu.edu/~upac/ Please continue to visit the website for updates and additional information.
Funding opportunity offered by ORSP and StatCORR

The total budget for a single application submitted in response to this funding opportunity may not exceed $3,000. Budgets may consider both local training and training that requires travel. The number and size of awards issued under this announcement are contingent on the reviews and the availability of funds.
