In December, CAPBR held its annual retreat with Provost Hinshaw and Resource Management and Planning administrators. Discussion items included Capital Budget Issues (i.e., Campus 10-year capital plan, non-state capital plan, and state capital program); Operating Budget Issues (i.e., Budget planning process updates, campus financial and budget data, sources and uses of indirect cost recovery funds); Long Range Development Plan; Priorities during times of budget constraints; and graduate student support.

A new subcommittee of CAPBR was formed entitled Instructional Space Advisory Group (“ISAG”). They met and began researching available instructional space on campus with peak and non-peak usage and strategizing how to increase availability and meet campus needs. The Chair of ISAG is a member of the Provost’s new planning committee to develop a classroom master plan for the campus.
