Other Priorities • SC LightRail • SC LightRail is an ultra high speed fiber optic network connecting healthcare, higher education, and research entities across the state of SC and to Lambda • $4.5 million appropriated in FY 2008 and 2009 to research universities • Each research university is requesting $1.5 million to support maintaining the network (CHE has endorsed concept)—essential for expansion to other campuses 17
Other Priorities (continued) • Regulatory Relief • With loss of state appropriations, greater efficiency is required • Bill drafted last year to enhance human resources, procurement, capital projects • Bill introduced mid-session and did not get full review • Legislation needs to be reintroduced in new session 18
Endowed chairs—no new funding in two years • EPSCoR program—tissue engineering grant is example of benefit • Electronic library—one of the most efficient programs in state • Nursing Workforce Initiatives (One Voice One Plan) • Cigarette Tax Other Priorities(continued) 19
