10:16:58 From Becky Campbell: Love the idea of saving families!

10:32:19 From Keith Barber: can the video shift so those on computers see the speaker (not just the president, chancellor and SVP)?

10:37:18 From Keith Barber: thank you for shifting the camera!

10:37:25 From Mike Stanley: Thanks for the wider shot.

10:41:35 From aliross: Does anyone on here have any questions you would like for me to relay to the room?

10:46:00 From Keith Barber: From the ÌÇÐÄVlogIA Retirees Association:

10:46:42 From Becky Campbell: Are there any plans or views on how this will impact the organizational structure for three extension regions and the county extension offices?

10:46:52 From Keith Barber: 1) Why ÌÇÐÄVlogIA and not include teh Space Institute and athe ÌÇÐÄVlogHSC in this new structure? If it will help our rankings?

10:48:30 From Keith Barber: 2) Overhead for ÌÇÐÄVlogK is a higher percentage taken as opposed to the ÌÇÐÄVlogIA grant process. Will ÌÇÐÄVlogIA grant overhead dollars be diminished and/or cannibalized?

10:48:59 From aliross: Thank you. We see the questions from Becky and ÌÇÐÄVlogIA Retiree Association and they will be asked to the group.

10:49:28 From Keith Barber: 3) How will we (ÌÇÐÄVlogIA) maintain our identity in the future? I.E., will the Department of Plant Sciences remain as such?

10:54:05 From Keith Barber: 4) ÌÇÐÄVlogIA has a strategic plan. One of the goals of this plan is to take ÌÇÐÄVlogIA back to the staffing levels we had prior to the recession a decade ago. Resources are limited and if there are not resources to meet the basic land-grant mission, how can current programs be expanded and new programs be added?

11:14:09 From Keith Barber: Thank you for answering our ÌÇÐÄVlogIA Retirees’ questions. Interestingly, Interim President Boyd’s comments to John Steir’s question is contradictary to how he responded to our question about including ÌÇÐÄVlogHSC to help our rankings. The comment in question is in reference to the Univ of Wisconsin Medical Schools… Would he like to reply?

11:17:52 From Keith Barber: Extension and RECs are 400 miles away!

11:27:46 From Sophie Willborn Schmidt : Thanks for providing the video feed.
