Spending Decisions Process
For information regarding the use/spending of the Student Aid portion, see disclosure.
The Institutional and MSI portions went through several rounds of calls of funding proposals across campus divisions. More broadly, additional student aid, revenue loss impacts, and new COVID mitigation services were also considered. In all, over 500 stated needs were reviewed to determine eligibility within CARES Act funding guidance, federal costing rules, federal award Uniform Guidance, and compliance with UC and UCSC financial policies and practices. Overhead costs or costs in support of normal day-to-day operations of the campus were excluded from consideration.
