President West     
    
        Agenda Item Type: 
Information Item     
    
        Discussion: 
The Executive Committee meet to discuss the MSP Grant and the possibility of submitting a grant application for the one year extended period.  Dialogue with the Strategists was also provided.   Since the MSP Grant will not longer be available after the next one year RFP, the sustainability of  this one year grant is in question, the Strategists indicated the support provided for the instructional delivery for math is perhaps more comprehensive than that provided by the current math grant and the purpose outlined in the current RFP, and the current UNO Math Instructors/Math Director, the decision was made to forgo the submission of the current MSP Application specific to math.
A sustainable action plan will be developed for the current math grant in cooperation with the Strategists and higher education.
