RRC Notes -- 11/16/2011

Nothing urgent at last month's meeting.
And, hence, I was slow in getting these out.  DJP

RRC Meeting Summary -
Nov. 16, 2011





STAR:  I think you've all heard plenty about the
new DMS-based scholarship tracking system, which pulls scholarship-related
financial information from several systems and unifies it.  If you need access, you need to go to training
and then I can authorize it. 





University Endowment
Documents: 
The University has been
uploading the documents related to University-held endowments into the
Foundation's DMS.  The RRC manager will
be responsible for granting access to view the documents.





Differential
Tuition: 
At the December Board of
Regents meeting, the President will raise a proposal to allow differential
tuition (a tuition surcharge) for certain colleges.  The proposal will be specific to CSOM.  Board policy would have to be amended to
allow this.





Fee Management
System: 
A new fee (and tuition) management
system is being developed.  Among other
changes, in the new system RRC managers will likely be required to approve all
fees in their colleges.  The development
is in the early stages, but will move pretty quickly.





UM Reports vs.
EFS: 
Over 90% of sponsored reports
are being run in UM Reports, so central is investigating removing some of the
reports from EFS.  They will be
contacting (or have contacted) the people who are running them in EFS to
understand why they prefer EFS.
