*These grants were put on hold for further conversation with colleges because of the informal format of
the conferences and no actual presentation.
Wayne Morris was concerned with funding a panel discussion without a presentation and whether the
FDC should fund. After discussion Hal Fulmer said he would check with the colleges about them
possibly funding the grants before they were approved or denied by the FDC Committee.
Motion was made by Diane Bandow to approve the above listed grant requests with the exception of
those grants where additional information is needed.
Second was made by VJ Gompa.
Motion was approved.

There was a lot of discussion because these grants are not being used to purchase materials and supplies
that will help in teaching, as is the purpose of the IIG. 5 out of the 7 were to be used for SCOB staff to
receive training at conferences for their AA accreditation that the college is trying to obtain. Hal Fulmer
will check with SCOB about the college financing their own staff as part of the cost of the AA
accreditation. The last 2 IIG requests were also for funding staff to attend conference but not purchase
material and supplies and Hal Fulmer will contact the CCFA about that college funding their staff to go.
All 7 grants have been tabled. Continued discussion on the guidelines of the IIG continued and they
need to be changed, updated and tightened to narrow the purpose of the grants. Possibly working on the
rewording or reworking of the IIG’s before the next FDC session in October.

*VJ Gompa brought up about if we should fund summer salary for 12 month salary or if they hold
administration job should they be funded as the guidelines say they should not. Hal Fulmer will check
on these grants before funding.
Min Carter was denied because we funded her the past 2 years to do research in her own country during
the summer, so it was sent back to SCOB to fund her this year since funds were so limited.
Motion was made by Hal Fulmer to approve the above listed grant requests at $2,250.00 due to limited
funds.

Additional Comments/Follow-up
The Chair announced his intention to:
 Updating the guidelines of the IIG to narrow the purpose of the grants. Possibly working on the
wording or reworking of the IIG’s before the next FDC session in October.
 Funding of round table discussions at conferences and if to fund them at the same rate as regular
paper presentations.
 Possibly Symposium of Colleagues here on campus for the staff to show their work.
