This is an image of our delegation meeting with folks from St. Martinus Faculty of Medicine just before returning to Washington. Mason VP for Research, Matt Kluger is in the blue polo shirt.
It’s always nice to return to Krasnow after a trip, but this morning
it was particularly enjoyable knowing that the Krasnow Expansion
Project final presentations are going forward on schedule this
morning. I have a lot of confidence in our selection team and I think
we’ll get an excellent building addition, in the end.
Over the next several weeks in this space I’m going to talk a bit
about budget issues. I want to explain something about the process
and also perhaps address questions that occasionally arise concerning
what gets funded and what gets deferred. The hope is that at least
the process will become considerably more transparent (both within
Krasnow and in the larger context of the University).
I’d also like in the next several blog entries to spend some time
writing–in general–about what goes through my own mind about
contingency requests–that is those that aren’t planned for.
