The expectation is that CE will respond by further developing and delivering strong programs and by managing this important element of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) and the University of Arizona (UA) in a responsible and effective manner. Basically, we are expected to deliver on our basic and fundamental mission and we have every intention to manage and utilize all of our appropriated funding to adhere to that directive.
