1. Announcements

   1. Kimberly Chalk will be replacing Doug Covey on the University Technology Committee until a new Assistant Vice President is appointed.

   2. Chairperson Crosby announced that there are still some issues to be ironed out concerning the classroom technology support policy. This will be discussed again at an upcoming UTC meeting.

2. New PC Classroom

   Kathy Hughes reported that the classroom will have a $169,200 budget with the budget request coming from Academic Affairs. Input will be solicited from the Faculty Association's Academic Technology and Support Services Committee for design. This classroom should be up and running for the Fall term. Joann Campbell will be presenting this to the Deans on May 26th and stressed that the Associate Deans need to show support for this.

3. WebCT Budget

   Kathy Hughes handed out a WebCT Proposed Budget. Following discussion of the items, the UTC determined that this proposal should be more broad-based and include support for both WebCT and Lotus Notes.

4. Lotus Notes Pilot

   This will be discussed at a future meeting.

5. UTC Budget Subcommittee

   Chairperson Crosby stated that because of scheduling problems, a separate UTC Budget Subcommittee meeting could not be held. He said that the budget issues will be discussed in the full committee and if necessary, a subcommittee meeting will be held prior to the next UTC meeting. This issue should be finalized at the next meeting.

   Kathy Hughes handed out an updated 1999-2000 7% Tuition Expenditure Proposal. Jeff Michelman asked what the total amount would be. Chairperson Crosby stated that Ricky Arjune has gone back to the original estimate is $1,019,000. Chairperson Crosby also stated the both Provost Kline and Vice President Fagin have indicated support for this request. Since Kathy's proposal is for $1,173,460, approximately $154,460 will have to be cut.

   Each item was discussed with the following deletions made:

   • $35,000 for Help Desk Renovations
   • $ 7,200 for Academic Resource Center pc's
   • $42,200 to fund 4 additional classrooms @ $10,500 per room
