one representative from each KSU school or department. A list of cost saving and revenue generating ideas will be gathered from faculty and a report will then be written by March 2. The report and list will be sent to Senate members before the March 4 Senate meeting where the Faculty Senate must approve. Once approved by the Faculty Senate the Committee would then organize and submit cost saving and revenue new generating options to CPE and the administration. The Faculty Senate can discontinue the ad hoc committee on March 4, or can vote to continue the committees work for an additional set time if the feeling of the Senate is more suggestions can be gathered by faculty, and more time is available before final 2022-2023 budget cycle deadline. Suggested titles for the committee can be discussed at the organization meeting, one option is Budget Crisis Committee.

Several senators volunteered to serve on this committee which will be open to all faculty members.

Budget and Academic Support Committee Jennifer Ballard-Kang

Our new VP of Finance, Dr. Gerald Shields and Greg Rush from CPE both joined BASC at its last meeting. The committee was impressed with Dr. Shields' commitment to transparency and to talking with faculty. He will meet with the entire Faculty Senate as soon as possible after HB 250 funding KSU is passed and signed.

A recording of the BASC meeting with Dr. Shields and Mr. Rush is available on Teams.

BASC will work with PCC on the issue of the suspended tenure and promotion process at the appropriate time.

BASC will sponsor a grants training workshop in April.
