		<description><![CDATA[University of Wisconsin-Madison Chancellor Biddy Martin and the Madison Initiative for Undergraduates Oversight Committee have identified eight proposals, ranging from an electronic system designed to capture notes of student meetings with advisers to College of Letters &#38; Science faculty lines, to become the first recipients of funding from the innovative program. Proposals for a second round of funding are due by mid-November and will be announced early next year.
</div>
“On behalf of the oversight committees, I congratulate all of those who submitted proposals and thank them for their commitment to enhancing undergraduate education here at the University of Wisconsin-Madison,” Martin says. “This is truly an historic time for this institution, and I am happy to have everyone participating as a partner in our efforts.”

		<description><![CDATA[The Madison Initiative for Undergraduates has accepted 29 proposals for review for its Oct. 1, 2009 deadline. The proposals are divided into two categories: 19 proposals primarily focused on student services, or other enhancements, and 8 proposals requesting faculty lines. Two proposals were returned to the authors for further development.



Proposals dealing primarily with student services are being reviewed by the MI Student Board for rating and review before being forwarded back to the MI Oversight Committee. Both categories of proposals have gone to the Oversight Committee for rating and review. Both committees will share their recommendations with Provost Paul DeLuca and Chancellor Biddy Martin, with final decisions to be made by the chancellor.
