Memo from Sara Coulter to Bob Caret, 1990

1/31/90 TO: Bob Caret FROM: Sara Coulter SUBJECT: Secretarial Support for Women's Institute and FIPSE Grant Dissemination The FIPSE grant budget runs out July 1, but we are applying for their small dissemination grant of $8,000 to extend our community college work to the 12 campuses not in the grant. We need a half-time contractual secretary for this work at about $8,ooo and would like to write that into the grant (postmark 2/2} as a TSU contribution. I can probably find $l,500 carryover for this purpose in current grant budget if necessary. As you know, we asked for a state secretary to support the Women's Institute (Center for the Study of Women and Education) but cannot have one at this time. Could we have a full-time contractual secretary as a temporary interim solution? A possible, but undesirable, compromise would be a full-time contractual secretary to serve both purposes. I need to know how to calculate the dissemination grant budget. I also need a TSU contribution of $1,900 released time for me--no problem with English Department for my time, Just the money for low cost replacement (Elaine will be on full-year sabbatical next year so money will be available from her salary if that matters). Also need to know about Director position by Friday so I can put it in Md. system women's newsletter. Thanks for your repeated attention to this matter.
