Plesae scroll down to your SCUP Link, below this notice about SCUP–45.

Oh, no! You won't be getting a printed SCUP–45 Preliminary Program in the mail this year. Instead, SCUP is going green and regularly updating this digital version (PDF), which you can download at any time.

Check it out! You don't want to miss higher education's premier planning conference, and your one chance this year to assemble with nearly 1,500 of your peers and colleagues: July 10–14, Minneapolis.

A new blog to pay attention to at The Chronicle of Higher Education, especially for SCUPers in resource and budget planning areas: Campus Cuts is its name. Recent posts include items on how the University of Houston plans cuts in "office supplies, travel, and cellphone allowances, as well as a one-day systemwide furlough, a hiring freeze, and deferred maintenance"; the University of California Santa Cruz cuts its community-studies major, possibly closing it; Tennessee Tech University eliminating "two teams -- rifle and women's tennis -- as part of a university plan to reduce financial support to athletics by up to $365,000"; University of Texas System laying off "23 employees of UT TeleCampus, its central distance-education arm, which is being shut down"; and Stony Brook University "[w]ill close close residence halls, eliminate some programs, and suspend new freshman admissions at its recently acquired Southampton campus, which is focused on sustainability curricula."
