<p>3) we are going to staff our departments with administrative and technical staff to support both students and faculty.</p>
<p>4) we have to have administrative staff to support federal/state grant programs, financial aid programs, student records, human resources support, environmental regulation compliance, EEO issues, etc.</p>
