The Future of
A & L Funding
(AY 2017-18 and beyond)
May 4, 2016 ~ Academic Senate Meeting
CSU San Marcos
• Has grown from a few to 10-20+ events per year that
advance diversity and instructionally related goals
• Budget of approx $40K to now $30K for its final year
of funding through IRA for AY 2016-17 events
• IRA needing to shift Cougar Chronicle and Arts &
Lectures funding to other sources
• Never an Academic Senate committee
Arts & Lectures In Brief
Arts & Lectures has been housed in several
different units on campus over the years:
a) The University Library, with workload units and a
stipend given to oversee the series (Bonnie Biggs,
Director; no committee)

Committee History (cont’d)
Key Question: HOW is A & L to proceed
with securing funding for future years?
• A. Fundraise on its own? Unclear how this is to
happen. Through whose desk / what office?
• Impossible task for coordinator to simultaneously
fundraise and put on events. A new development
officer?
• B. Submit a very small number of proposals
through IRA? Would only address partial funding,
on a year to year basis.
Funding Issue / Dilemma for AY
2017-18 and beyond
Key Question: HOW is A & L to proceed
with securing funding for future years?
• C. Work with the advancement / development
office? As of now, would likely only address partial
funding, on a year to year basis.
• D. Through UBC? As an independent entity? As
part of CHABSS' budget?
• E. Other pathway
Funding Issue / Dilemma for AY
2017-18 and beyond (cont’d)
Key Question: WHAT does the university
community and administration want to do with the
series, so that the process of securing funding
can move forward?
• Instructionally / academically related activities or
larger scale events?
• Large scale events to be self-supporting not possible
without a real stage and venue to showcase big artists
and performers. Center for the Arts, Escondido
collaboration has been initiated.
• WHO will be in charge of fundraising?
• WHERE would A & L be housed in the future?
