Capital Budget Requests were discussed and the committee agreed to send the recommendations for hearings forward to the Provost and to the Senior Vice President for Finance. These may be revised as a result of discussions at the President’s Cabinet. Once the decision is final, units will be notified. It was also recommended that there be no tours scheduled this year.

The Track II (non-capital budget) requests were not ready for handout. These are primarily from the Health Sciences, Student Affairs, and Athletics.
