   1. Discussion
      1. IPC spent a great deal of time reviewing the Budget schedule for the upcoming year. It was decided that this process needs to begin about two weeks earlier in order to allow enough time for discussion on requested funds. This will require the Deans and Vice Presidents to review their plans sooner than usual but should be able to be accommodated.
      2. The IPC began discussions on the Budget Assumptions and Planning Guidelines. This will continue next week.
