WISE Funds

[dawg80]

It's my understanding said funds will not be available to state universities until January 1st, and then only thru June 30th. True?

If so, that is so typical of so many "grants" from one gov-mint body to another.

Also, I am told. NSU's share is $677K. Does this mean the funds are spoken for and ALL schools now know their allocation? If so, what is Tech's?

Dr. Guice has a new blog post about http://guiceblog.latech.edu/2014/10/...-our-partners/

but apparently latech.edu is down right now. I know we receive $1MM "off the top" and then should have received some more from the ULS split.

>$1.6MM; http://guiceblog.latech.edu/2014/10/...itive-impacts/

If approved by the WISE Council and the Board of Regents over the next few weeks, our plan will result in more than $1.6M in funding to support our faculty and students

ULL somehow got over $2 million.

Link? How is that possible when we got 1MM off the top plus our ULS share and ULL only had the share with the ULS...

$2,012,458 for U-La-La

We obviously didn't get our full ULS share. We only received $600K from the ULS pool. Sandra Woodley and the ULS cronies still distributed the funds however they wanted instead of what was intended.

I think the schools have to generate matching funds 1 to 1. That's my understanding. Or, there is some match required. So come January, the allotments could change depending on which schools did/did not garner their required matches.

A 20% match is required, and it has to be verified up front.

Okay, thanks.

Did the neighbors to the east and west get some of ours?

So did we get what we were due or not?

That's the key question. Comparing ourselves to others is a little pointless unless someone defined the state legislature when they handed out the funds.

How did UNO and ULL get so much WISE money?

LaLaff with more students, graduates, and local business maybe?

UNO - must be some weird formula. They only have a little over 7K undergraduates.

We obviously showed the most commitment to the program.
