Motion (Jacobs, Angell) to approve CHHS proposals as a package with two comments:
Comment 1: The administration should verify that another doctoral program at EMU does not affect our
funding eligibility (such as at NSF, NIH, Carnegie classification, etc.) because we are considered a
primarily undergraduate, non-research intensive institution.
Comment 2: Budget seems to account expenses annually and revenues cumulatively.
