However, the chair would double check with the Vice Chancellor of Academic Affair to confirm funds availability and make an announcement to the faculty after that.
Tasks of the committee for this year were discussed. Possible action items include: review the proposal solicitation, submission, review, and recommendation procedures and identify possible changes; find ways to increase future proposal submissions.
