The Department's FY15 Budget Worksheet is not accurate. 2. Faculty members could not recall any Department discussions/decisions concerning the $620.76 fee requested in the name of the Department. Concerns have been raised that after the payment is executed the budget material provided will be neither complete, nor accurate. I hold the university officials to the highest ethical standards, and trust they follow the relevant rules. To ensure that every penny of the collected public funds will be put to good use I requested David Gleason to address the faculty concerns. Best, Jacob -- Jacob Kogan Math & Stat, UMBC, Baltimore, MD 21250 http://www.math.umbc.edu/~kogan/
