Announcements

Ms. Hallenbeck made the following announcements:

  • The initial budget meetings with the Broad-Based Fee Managers have been scheduled for
    December. This will involve going over their actuals from last fiscal year and providing
    them with the new AAFTE’s from this fiscal year so that they can re-adjust their budgets.

Fall 2019 Items

2020 Call Letter

Members reviewed the 2020 Call Letter draft and the following edits were suggested:

  • Make sure that all of the broad-based fees are listed in the letter.
  • Reword the first bullet under number one to ensure the fee managers provide a good
    explanation of the fee.
  • Move the last bullet under number one to be listed under number two and number three.

Members also discussed the new opportunity to request two years’ worth of fees instead of one as we have in the past. Members decided to remain with the one-year request as things could change in a year and requesting two years without the knowledge of what is to come in that year could put us at the disadvantage. SUNY may scrutinize our requests more when plans do not align and ultimately may deny our requests.

Summer 2020 Course Fee Request

Dr. Daniel stated that she did not yet meet with Dr. James to discuss members’ concerns
regarding the course fee request for HEA 663. She did however leave Dr. James a voicemail and plans to meet with her as soon as possible. Dr. Daniel will follow up with her again in hopes that she can present the information at our next meeting.

Items from the Committee

None at this time. 

Next Meeting: Friday, December 6, 2019, 8:30-9:30 AM, 185 Seymour
