4. The total of awards, grants and loans recommended by the Committee is
$86,500. The Committee realizes this total exceeds the upper limit set by the
Board of Trustees by $6500 but feels that the needs and talents of those
recommended warrants the extra expenditure and respectfully requests the
indulgence of the Board. In recognition of the fact that it exceeded its
limit, the Committee has not designated any alternate award or loan
candidates. Any loans, grants or awards not accepted are to be returned to
the EAF fund.
6. The Committee considered the questions raised by the auditors about
the new Memorandum of Understanding which is to be signed by loan recipients.
The Committee members feel that the loan forgiveness policy (cancellation of
loan in consideration of 3 years of Agency service) should not be made
retroactive to loans made before the policy was instituted. The Committee
feels the policy should apply only to full-time staff or contract employees.
Periods of employment as summer onlys should not be counted. The Committee
does not feel loan repayments should be pro-rated according to length of
Agency service. One Committee member raised the question of whether multiple
loans should result in requiring additional years of employment.
Board Action
7. At present, applicants who do not want to submit a financial Statement
may apply to be considered for the Wisner Award. Because they do not include
a financial statement, however, they may not be considered for any other
award, grant or loan. Since'all' loan, award and grant funds come from the
same general fund, the Committee feels that this restriction on Wisner
applicants should be lifted'and :so recommends. It is likely that Wisner
applicants, lacking a financial statement, would be in an unfavorable
competitive position with respect to those applicants who do supply financial
statements, but at least they should receive consideration for other awards,
grants and loans.
Board Action
8. The Committee was shown the sample Special Awards Certificates and
favored the horizontal format.
Board Action
9. The Committee designated to attend the Board of Trustees 25X1
meeting to answer any questions the Board may have on the selection process.
10. The Committee recommended that a meeting of the Selection Committee be
scheduled one month in advance of the date on which the applications are given
to it. The purpose of the meeting will be to advise the ENT staff on the type
of facts and quantifiable information which can be extracted from the
applications and put into tabular form for the convenience of the Committee.
