Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2015 17:25:01 -0400 (EDT) From: Jacob Kogan To: mathstat_faculty@lists.umbc.edu Cc: kogan@umbc.edu Subject: new budget request news-appeal for help update Dear Colleagues, Thank you again for the new pledges. While the number of pledges is monotonically increasing with time additional pledges are still needed to drive the average amount under the $30 limit. I am confident we can do this. Indeed, in 1999 Dr. Neerchal, interim chair at that time, asked the Department to donate for the Department Slush Fund (see below). The Department responded, and although to the best of my recollection no financial report was provided, I am sure the funds have been used for a good cause. If, as Yen-Mow indicates in his email, funds are still available the Chair may want to use them to lead with transparency and accountability the Department needs and deserves. Best, Jacob -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From LYNN@UMBC2.UMBC.EDU Wed Oct 27 09:30:05 1999 TO: Full-time Faculty FROM: General Affairs Committee (Guler, Lynn, Neerchal) Our hearty thanks to all of you for your generous contributions to the Department Slush Fund. A total of $420 from all twenty-one full-time faculty in residence this semester (at $20 each) has been received. This sum, along with the $280 obtained from the book sale earlier, has added a total of $700 to the Slush Fund. Let us hope that this reserve will last for a very long while! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Jacob Kogan Math & Stat, UMBC, Baltimore, MD 21250 http://www.math.umbc.edu/~kogan/
