She has met with all colleges this semester, with the exception of the College of Architecture and Planning
(meeting with them in January), to discuss the capital campaign and the upcoming legislative session. She
made another presentation to the state budget committee on November 20 during the legislative session.
Two-thirds of the capital campaign goal has been reached - $133,366,262.00.
There are states going through mid-year budget cuts. Ball State is making an effort to tighten the purse
strings as it may get rough during the second semester of this year. The stock market affects the
endowment which in turn affects scholarships dollars. Our endowment is down between 20-30% and
they’re making up the scholarship dollars from other campus expenditures. She will be reporting to the
campus community as issues arise.
University pay raises are doubtful unless the stock market and the state finances change.
Emerging media – largely funded by new grant dollars and reallocated dollars. This is an important area
where there is a broad range of activity.
David Letterman Distinguished Lecture Series – first speaker on February 24, 2009, is Kathleen Jamison,

This has been a winning and interesting football season; instead of going to Detroit, we will be going to
Alabama to play the University of Tulsa on January 6, 2009, in the GMAC Bowl. Package information
will be available on the web site.
If faculty are unable to attend, the President requested that they please consider contributing the ticket price
for a student to go. They would like to give away 500 tickets to students.
