...research mission. We have identified a number of endowment funds that are not being utilized. We have analyzed the terms of these endowments to identify areas where the endowment income can be used, in line with the donors’ intent, to make a positive impact within the FAS or for interdisciplinary priorities of the FAS across the University. These changes will serve to protect our academic programs from unnecessary reductions...
...support of the University’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, FAS continues to pursue a variety of money-saving energy conservation strategies: temperature set-point changes, motion-sensing light switches, light bulb change-outs, and solar panel installations, among others. By lowering the winter heating set-point to 68° and raising the summer cooling set-point to 75°, the FAS will reduce its multimillion-dollar heating and cooling budget by an estimated 3 percent annually. This change has the added benefit of reducing annual greenhouse gas emissions by 1,200 metric tons of carbon dioxide...

In light of the current needs of the FAS, the Development Office has redoubled its energies in raising current-use unrestricted and financial aid funds for the Dean without adversely impacting gifts to the endowment. This will be reflected in Harvard College Fund messaging and overall fundraising approaches, and will require that the FAS speak with “one voice” about the importance of flexible gifts to the Dean. The FAS Development Office asks that all fundraising...
...FAS (including the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences) contributes $13.5 million annually to the Harvard University Science and Engineering Committee (HUSEC) to support intra-faculty science initiatives, part of a $53 million university-wide funding level. Historically, HUSEC has allocated funds from the $53 million on a competitive basis as requests come in. HUSEC will work without a predetermined funding allocation. Rather, it will review funding requests, approving only those that are deemed critical to advancing the scientific priorities of the University...
...much as possible, and as leases expire, FAS will consolidate academic support space into Harvard-owned space. A review of all of FAS’s off-campus leases is currently underway, and further reductions in spending in this area are expected. While moves such as this will mean tighter quarters for some support staff, this step is necessary to free up resources to support core mission areas...
