Initiative Title	Expand Reading/Writing Center hours
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	No
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.
