Elimination of 3 vacant positions Elimination of a Post Doctoral Position-Department Chair commitment Elimination of Basic Research funding-previous EPSCOR commitment Extension is proposed for a 70% budget cut which will likely impact CABNR – currently there are 7 State Extension Specialist in CABNR that have a partial FTE paid from Extension funds 5% pay cuts for everyone

Sold for $3.4 million to Great Basin Land & Water The college retained $2.7 million Will use the funds to create an endowment to cover a portion of a faculty member’s salary Income on current S-S operating endowment will be transferred to endowed faculty position

More land sales to come – more endowments to be established  Truckee River Flood Project  Southeast Connector

Impacts  Merge the College of Agriculture, Biotechnology and Natural Resources into the College of Science  Close the new department – Agriculture, Nutrition and Vet Science  Move the Nevada Agricultural Experiment Station (NAES) to the VP of Research Office  Decrease the NAES budget from $9.7 in 2009 to $3.05 million

Meet the Land Grant mission of the university and college and demonstrate excellence in:  Research-extramural funding generates indirect $$ for VPR office  Education-generate strong student SCR and FTE for tuition $$  Outreach-integrate with Extension and political base

Engage stakeholders in decision making process-build strong base of support Establish strong collaborations with other colleges, with Federal and State agencies and engage in multi-state programs Align field lab programs with university mission and stakeholder needs Develop strategies to become less dependent of State support.
