Dear Mark and Allen,<br>
<br>
This is a fantastic proposal. I fully support it. Please add my name
to the list.<br>
<br>
Another example to justify the necessity of this proposal is the
creation of AVP for Research and Innovation to accommodate the
outgoing Dean of Science into another (unnecessary) administrative
position. This position doesn't exist on the SDSU administrative
chart (attached) so I assume it was just created for Stanley Maloy!<br>
<br>
As Khaled mentioned, I hope more faculty members from our college
will support this proposal.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Ashkan<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m trying to get as many co-signers as possible
of the proposal below to introduce legislation to
mandate 53% of the CSU budget goes to instruction
(i.e. faculty and lecturers). If you and any of your
colleagues in engineering could add your name that
would be very helpful. I’m hoping to send this out
by the end of the week. Please let me know of any
names I could add. Please feel free to forward this
by email to all faculty in your college. They can
email me directly if they are willing to have their
name attached.</div>

<div>Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
Attached is a proposal that I will be
sending soon to the political action
committee of the California Faculty
Association. This committee selects faculty
submitted proposals to move through the
legislative process. In essence, this is a
proposal for California legislation that
mandates the percentage of the operational
CSU budget going to instruction be raised
from the current (atrocious) 34% to at least
the 53% level of the early 1990’s, by yearly
increments of about 3%.<br>
<br>
I feel that the proposal will have a much
stronger chance of success if it gains
support from a significant number of faculty
here at SDSU (and possibly at other
campuses). Therefore if you support this
proposal I ask that you co-sponsor it by
adding your name. If you are willing to do
so, please simply reply to me by email. You
do not have to be a CFA member to be a
co-signer. I will include your name,
department, and position when I send it for
consideration.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Mark<br>
