Ken Walsh the founding Dean of  SDSU Georgia gave a presentation to the Committee Members about the resource allocation in SDSU. Resource allocation in SDSU assures equitable distribution of resources by the units that are calculated taking into account the number of students and hours of teaching. This allows maintaining broad education for students by letting departments give courses to students with different majors. The resources are allocated differently in TSU. While discussing this issue it became evident that existing resources for two departments are not enough to run ABET accredited programs. Mr. Walsh promised to raise this issue to the Rector of the University.
