From: "Gross, Louis J" Date: Thursday, September 9, 2021 at 8:13 PM To: dplowman Cc: "Cimino, Chris" , "Gross, Louis J" Subject: Re: HEERF Money Chancellor Plowman and Vice Chancellor Cimino, Thank you for providing this summary which I will share with the Senate and ask the Budget and Planning Committee to look at in detail. I think it will be very worth publicizing that 55% of the total funding went directly to students through grants. I do have a question about the lost revenue piece. Presumably these losses were mainly due to cancellation of activities (e.g. Athletics, Arena concerts, summer programming), housing closures, and reduced dining revenue and that the funds are being used to offset these losses for what are typically Auxiliary enterprises. Is this correct? Stay well, Lou -- Louis J.

The only support they received was for COVID testing. Chris
