We have updated our primary informational FAQ
outlining higher education’s funding request for PASCAL in FY 2009-10
and posted it to the website. The text has been worked on by the
PASCAL PR committee, the Commission on Higher Education and members of
the Board of Directors. http://pascalsc.org/content/view/191/1/. There is a link to a printable PDF version is available at the bottom of this page.We have also done some tweaking to our “ABOUT
US” and our “FUNDING CRISIS” pages. Our goal in this redesign has
been to get browsers more directly to the key facts summarized in the
FAQ, information about license and service reductions and importantly,
what folks can do to help. You can get to the ABOUT US page via
the navigation bar on the left side of your screen. The FUNDING CRISIS page can be
reached by clicking on the red link on the top of all website
pages: More
information on PASCAL's Funding Crisis. It can also be reached
directly at this URL:
http://pascalsc.org/helpsavepascal.html Please take a look at the FAQ and these new
pages. We are working on additional materials and
ways to help you reach out to members of your community to explain the
significance of this program. We’ll be making some additional
announcements very soon. In light of all of the budget cuts for *this*
fiscal year, looking for light next year might seem a long
way off. One thought that seems increasingly relevant to me is
the idea that – for reasons that is obvious to us (and implicit in the
FAQ) – PASCAL is actually part of the solution. I think the more
clearly we can frame that argument, the stronger our case will be. As always, thanks for your support in working
to maintain this important resource for |
