Black Hills State University Chiesman Committee.
Chairman Earley called the meeting to order at 1 p.m.

present: Voting members--George Earley, Ahrar Ahmad, John Schreiber,
Lennis Larson, Carol Hess, Riley Chrisman, Tim Molseed; Non-voting
members Dan Farrington and John Usera.
The revised operational guidelines were approved as
written-Ahmad moved, Schreiber second.
Earley was confirmed as chair for the year---Chrisman
moved, Ahmad second.
The structure of the 2002-2003 budget was discussed. The mini-grant
portion was retained with the following changes in the form and
procedures--- pre-service (student teachers) were added and it was
changed to read “up to 10 grants.” Funding for this portion
was set at $3,000. Usera moved, Larson second. Approved.
The faculty grants were discussed. The grants were increased to
$6,000 with a total allocation of $12,000. The form was changed to read
“up to two (2) grants of $6,000 each. A proposed budget would
be included as a requirement and the date the committee made these
changes “8-02” would appear on the form. Chrisman moved, Hess
second. Approved.
Discussion of the $10,000 workshop segment centered on whether to
keep it all as workshop or divide it between workshops and other
activities such as speakers. Schreiber, Larson, and Ahmad would look
into the idea of what could be done with $5,000 for speakers and report
back to the committee. The disposition of the remaining $5,000 would be
determined at the next committee meeting.
The Library segment was discussed. Chrisman proposed shifting the
emphasis from text purchases to funding a subscription to the electronic
version of “American History and Life” for about $3,500. This would
be available to on-campus students and also to teachers in western South
Dakota. Chrisman was asked to find a demonstration site that the
committee could examine before final decisions were made. Chrisman was
also asked to check about having a BHSU Chiesman Committee web site
constructed.
A verbal request had been made to Usera and to Earley from Steve
Meeker for assistance in funding the purchase of American flags for the
9-11 service. It had been estimated that total cost would be $750 to
$800. Usera said the state office would fund half. Chrisman moved that
the BHSU committee would fund half the cost of the flags up to $400
provided Chairman Earley received an acceptable written request for
funding by Sept. 10. Ahmad second. Approved.
Earley will call a meeting as soon as Schreiber and Chrisman are
ready to report on their assignments.
