2001-2002 Strengthening HBCU Proposal
Administration
I. PERFORMANCE REPORT
March 1, 2000 - February 28, 2001
II. PROJECT SUMMARY
As a required activity for the program, the Title III Administration component has three objectives. They are: (1) the facilitate the achievement of program objectives by activity coordinators, (2) to ensure full compliance with state and federal guidelines, and (3) to maintain communication between the University and the Department of Education.
Title III Administration supports the University objective that refers to "operating the University in a fiscally sound manner to ensure financial equilibrium." All objectives and implementation strategies for Administration are a function of this major university goal.
III. PROJECT STATUS
Objective 1
To ensure appropriateness of 100% of expenditures, including those for personnel and equipment, by program activities.
Accomplishments
All expenditures by activities were evaluated by Administration before they were processed. This monitoring strategy facilitated full compliance with all proposed Title III budgets and University regulations. Additionally, each activity coordinator is provided with a copy of the University Policy and Procedures Manual. These manuals provide each coordinator with the information necessary for appropriate personnel decisions.
Still further, the Title III website is available for review by all activity coordinators. This website is constantly updated in order to provide each coordinator current budget information in an easily accessible manner.
Objective 2
To maintain the quality of program activities with regards to the proposed objectives so that no more than ten percent of the evaluation scores will be less than three out of five points.
Accomplishment
A quarterly reporting system is used to provide continuous monitoring of program activities. The quarterly reports are submitted to the Title III offices and reviewed by the Title III Director. As issues arise, activity coordinators are expected to make necessary adjustments in order to facilitate congruence between program activities and program objectives.
IV. BUDGET INFORMATION
Eighty percent (80%) of the budget has been encumbered to date, and all funds will be exhausted at the end of the budget period.
