Call to Order and Record Approval
Co-chair Cabeliza called the meeting to order at 2:19 p.m. The committee unanimously approved the November 18, 2025 meeting record without objection.
Review of Proposals
President Armstrong requested discussion of the Sports Nutrition Program and Athletics Mental Health Coach proposals. He described the background of the college-based fee and the creation of the Student Success Fee Allocation Advisory Committee by referendum in 2012. He stated that student-athlete funding had been discussed with a suggested long-term goal of phasing funding up to 14%, and that the sports nutrition and athletics mental health proposals fit that goal. He also expressed interest in expanding the nutrition plan to students in specific populations and groups.
Committee Member Murphy asked whether funding would grow the program or include financial aid. President Armstrong stated that the committee would request an annual review to confirm that funding was affecting students. Christine Mott Hutchinson added that the proposal would support the health fee, trainers, and advisors with funding received from other sources such as the Cal Poly Opportunity Fund.
Co-chair Valadez stated that the committee would review proposals and questions at this meeting and vote at the next meeting. Ongoing requests totaled $2,281,260 and one-time requests totaled $315,000. The difference between ongoing requests and available funding was $720,432, held for anticipated general salary increase funding. He also stated that the Health Services Fee would fund the menstruation program and the residual balance was approved to be held for general salary increase funding.
Funding Availability
Committee Member Linderman reported $3,001,692 in unallocated base funding. Remaining one-time funding was $1,811,105, less the CSU-required contingency for economic uncertainty of $1,317,050, leaving $494,055.
