- VICE PRESIDENT CARL DIEKHANS: The Vice President for Administrative Services was asked to
explain the approved funding formulas. Senate was instructed that these were not operational formulas
but funding formulas only. Programs such as Nursing must still fulfill their accreditation requirements.
The college must also continue to add smaller classes to balance the funding. Determining factors:
technological involvement vs. lecture. Any change must be articulated by a Chancellor's committee
and be valid throughout the system; however, once a course falls into a high category, it will most likely
remain.
