( Senate Resolution No. ':' Of the 29th Session Introduced By Senator Clemens Equitable Funding Resolution Whereas, All students in Nevada deserve equal opportunities for a quality education untainted by the location of their College of choice. Whereas, We encourage a fair and unbiased review that works towards equitable funding for both instruction and research at Nevada's two research Universities. Whereas, We also encourage an unprejudiced funding formula for Nevada's higher education to be promptly submitted to the Governor and State Legislature during this funding session to ensure that problems are rectified during this fiscal biennium. Whereas, We request that the State Legislature allow the Regents to have maximum flexibility with funds during this biennium to properly allow for proportional growth within the University and Community College System of Nevada over the next two years. THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED, that the Consolidated Students of the University of Nevada (CSUN), here assembled in the CSUN Senate, expresses strong appreciation and support to those Regents who have called for a review of the inequitable funding for higher education within the state of Nevada. CONST RECE -AS fall 2a.fl.3j •^•tftuimw^f 2 BHS ANNEX This would have us extending the existing storage interior wall all the way to the other side of the office. This would create a storage space of approx. 5 feet across and 18 feet long. We would then install shelving on one half and file cabinets on the other. Pro: We have access to this space 24 hours a day. This would allow a large spacing for the directors. Con: This may cause us to want an alarm system depending on what we store. CBC ANNEX This would take the existing approx. 3 feet of storage currently available and install shelving units. Pro: The space would need minimal construction. The area is monitored and closed at 10pm Con: This is a small area for Directors and not available 24 hours. Purpose: Both the office and BHS are cluttered with items that the Directors utilize. Both our storage areas are full. Our indoor storage always runs very full and out of room. Our outdoor storage is full because we share the space.
