funding to be made available for support of a program for
the development of university personnel.

proposals which are to be funded by state or non-state

superseding all committees currently involved in this area.

among the appropriate funding components in order to insure
the maximum benefits from available sources.
- Recommend to the Dean of Graduate Studies the transfer of
unallocated funds budgeted from one component to another as
the need arises.

the Senate at the end of the academic year.
