The entire discussion was around the financial crisis, and President Robbins and CFO Rulney had the opportunity to speak to all senators and answer questions. No formal plan was presented; only ideas were discussed. President Robbins did extend an invitation
for anyone to help with the plan and requested the help of Gary Rhoades’ GFFRC Committee. This was 11 days before the ABRO 15th deadline. We have still not received a written plan but will pass it on to you all if we do.</span></p>

penned a summary of the UA financial situation that has been shared widely across the university. They welcome feedback or thoughts on the summary, as they plan on revising it with any new additional information. (See Attachment 2 and this

engage with, review, or approve the Dec. 15th ABOR plan. The resolution did not pass, in part, because faculty argued that the president had requested input that day (during the meeting). Thus, faculty members would work, in good faith, with the president
on a potential plan in the next 11 days. </span></p>
