| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | With the last-minute need for adding ENG 101/098 classes, we had few adjuncts to place in the Reading/Writing Center, leaving it with fewer hours in Fall 2022 than we wanted to offer. Adding instructor hours would allow the center to meet the needs of more students. |
|---|
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | The Center needs to continue to meet the needs of students. |
