8:25 Recharge Rates
Goal:
Information sharing; agree on process for changes
Leaders:
Meredith Michaels, Karen Eckert, Larry Merkley
Reference:
Recharge Rate Packet (definition,
list of rates)
Description:
Recharges are costs charged to departments for specific goods and services provided to one department by another. Recharges thus move funding from one department to another, without increasing the total funding for the campus. The Direct Costing Committee is responsible for reviewing recharge rates for conformance with UC Business and Finance policies and Federal Cost Accounting Standards. The DCC review does not include an evaluation of the quality of the services provided, or the customers desire for all the services that may be included in the recharge rate. At present, there is no clear process for evaluating these services, or for considering the types of services that should be recharged. As experienced in separate and independent discussion within ASPC and ITC, the impact of recharges is broad. Today’s discussion will begin with background information on the campus recharge economy.
8:50 Graduate Growth Framework
Goal:
Follow-up discussion

Frank Talamantes
Reference:
