Good morning, everyone, I'm sorry this email is so long in coming. I took some vacation time that I would lose if I didn't take it—and I needed. Please everyone, do the same thing.</div>

Of course, however, I came back to a massive email backlog. Now I am finally updating you on our first quarter budget update with Provost Ron Marks, CFO John Arnold and CBO Garth Perry that was held on Monday October 28 between 3:15 and 3:45 PM.</div>

We were told that our Q1 performance was on target with our reduced Spending Authority. We were asked two questions about spending on unrestricted accounts, one about almost $190,000 for capital equipment in four of our academic units and the other about student
support spending. We answered these after the meeting by email.</div>

The capital equipment purchases were all initiated in FY24 but did not post until FY25. They are for existing labs or to support new faculty startups.</li><li style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 107%; margin: 0in 0in 8pt 0.5in;">
Wrt student support spending. These are student scholarships. To-date we have $4,000 in expenses on unrestricted funds. In FY24 we spent $89K of unrestricted funds. In FY24, CALES controlled set-aside accounts from program fees and differential tuition. In
FY25 these set-aside accounts are centralized, coded as restricted, and are no longer college controlled.</li></ol>
