Professor of Philosophy RE: Fee for renewal of UNLV's membership in the NSE program Congratulations on your reelection as President of the Senate. I hope that your term of office will go smoothly, with a minimum of crises. It's time again for me to make my annual request of the Senate to fund the NSE program. This program acts as a goodwill ambassador, and attracts a good number of students to UNLV, especially for the Hotel and Business courses. We usually attract several times the number of students that we send away on exchange. This year 38 students were accepted from Massachusetts to Hawaii, and seven UNLV students were placed (also from Massachusetts to Hawaii). During the 19S9-90 academic year we hosted a total of 29 students, many of whom are planning to remain at UNLV. If you would like me to speak to the Senate about the program, please contact me. While I may be away from campus for part of June and July, I will be on campus for most of May, the end of July, and August. I can be reached at ext. 3433 or 3462. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Attached is a copy of the bill from the NSE Consortium office, along with a copy of the purchase order from 1989 I which was paid late because because it has the "delivery required by* date a year latel. Again, congratulations on your reelection, and best of luck. Attachments UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS c/o DEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY 4505 MARYLAND PKWY/LAS VEGAS, NV 89154-5051/(702) 739-3433 April 16, 1990 TO: Joe Bunin CSUN President Larry Holmes CSUN Business Manager FROM: John A. Purvis Assistant to the" Controller As we discussed, attached are the worksheets for the proposed amendment request to the 1989-90 CSUN Budget. After our previous meeting, I posted the requested budget authorization transfers. However, I discovered that the transfers exceeded the current budget authorization in the contingeny reserve (906) account. A review of the actual gift revenue received to date and the actual fund balances brought forward from the 1988-89 fiscal year has been completed. An analysis of the requested 906 budget increase is also attached for your review and approval. The gift revenue budget increase was posted directly to the KUNV (901) account. As of the April 5th month end reports, 901 actual gift revenue exceeds the gift revenue budget by $9,593. I realize that this budget amendment will also need CSUN Senate review and approval. After this process has been completed, please forward a copy of the appropriate CSUN Senate Minutes to me. A copy of the budget amendment will then be submitted to Alesia Young, Director of Budgets for her review and processing. I appreciate your patience and assistance with this matter. If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. /DP attachment cc: Robert L. Ackerman, UNLV Vice President for Student Services Louis A. DuBois, UNLV Controller Alesia L.
