Report of the Comptroller

March 22th

2012:

IRCB – Special thanks to Kalyn and Stephanie. They gave me a great report about other

institution’s sports funding policies. Logistically it is too late to implement them for the

2012-2013 year, however I can see some of the ideas being used for the 2013-2014

school year.

Respectively,

Michael D. Hershfield
