PULLMAN – The biennial operating budget request, collective bargaining authority and a look ahead at the year from employee groups are among the agenda items for the Board of Regents meeting at 8 a.m. Friday, Sept. 3, in CUB 204.
The regents will be asked to approve the 2011-2013 biennial operating budget request. It includes $6.4 million for the School for Global Animal Health and an amount for enrollment that will be known once the official number of students is determined.
In addition, the budget includes a joint request from WSU and the University of Washington of $600,000 for WWAMI expansion in Spokane.
The regents will be asked to delegate authority to the president to ratify 2011-2013 collective bargaining agreements, which are under negotiation with:
* The Washington State Federation of State Employees to cover five bargaining units of WSU classified employees (315 employees).
* The bargaining unit of police officers represented by the WSU Police Guild (15 employees).
The regents will hear reports from the Faculty Senate, Administrative Professional Advisory Council, Graduate and Professional Student Association and others.
