During the 2023 listening sessions, students shared that there is a great need for new, more accessible chairs and desks in many classrooms across campus. To address this need, our Budget Planning and Administration office has identified remaining Higher Education Emergency Reliefs Fund (HEERF) money – one-time funds that can be utilized in limited ways. We will dedicate up to $1.7 million of these restricted one-time funds to purchase new classroom chairs and desks.
To identify classrooms most in need of modern, comfortable, and accessible furniture, we have partnered with ASI leadership to gather direct student feedback. Faculty and staff are encouraged to submit their recommendations through their ASI college representatives. When we receive that list, we will work to assess, prioritize, and schedule the installation of the new furniture. We look forward to making these critical improvements to our learning spaces in the coming months.
Stingers Up!
