Budget Challenges
• Too Few Involved in Early Budget
Discussions
• Restrictive Timelines to Spend Allocation
• Expenditures Only Allowed for Match, i.e.
Transfer Functions, Career Services
• Perception it’s not safe to hire
permanent positions
MIS Challenges
• Coordination of counseling, IT and
research with respect to data input and
collection
• Data Tracking – requires additional
resources
• Training on MIS Elements
Reflections
The 3SP Plan:
• Provided an opportunity to propose policy
changes, i.e. orientation mandate, assessment
re-testing
• Provided an opportunity to give us a 30,000
view of our student support services
• Shed light on where we were understaffed
• Shed light on challenges we face and areas
needing improvement
