The final Intellectual Foundations program revision proposal from the Senate Intellectual Foundations Oversight Committee (SIFOC), which is called Option C, has recently been submitted to the College Senate Curriculum Committee (CSCC) for review. It is also available for your review on the College Senate website.
The CSCC is currently considering SIFOC's proposal and will present its own IF proposal for initial debate at the April 13 College Senate meeting. This proposal will be shared with the campus as soon as it becomes available, which will be shortly before the April 13 Senate meeting. It is anticipated that the CSCC proposal will come up for a vote at the May 11 Senate meeting. If the proposal is endorsed by the Senate and approved by the president, it will be implemented in fall 2013. You are encouraged to contact your senator(s) with your feedback concerning either proposal and to attend an open forum on Thursday, April 26, during Bengal Pause (12:15 to 1:30 p.m.) in Bulger Communication Center East 2.

From the Interim Vice President for Finance and Management
Buffalo State submitted its 2011–2012 Internal Control Summary and Certification to SUNY on April 3. This is a critical submission for the university in its attestation to a year’s worth of internal control program activities, reviews, and audits. Acceptance of Buffalo State’s certification by SUNY is a significant component in continued flexibility for procurement operations at the campus.
As a member of the Buffalo State community, you are aware that internal controls are everyone’s responsibility. We look forward to continuing support for internal controls and value your efforts toward this end.
At this time, staff in SUNY System Administration are reviewing campus submissions and preparing a SUNY-wide response for its report to New York State. We anticipate acceptance of our campus submission without issues of substance.
A copy of the campus submission is available on the Buffalo State Internal Control Program website. I encourage your review of Buffalo State’s certification submission and welcome any questions you may have.
