Option #1: Formal Written Proposal on Reducing College Budget
For the Portfolio Project, you are creating a proposal written in formal style and using at least 4-5 research sources to support your proposal. You are expected to cite those sources both in the text of your proposal and on the references page at the end. A number of assignments for this course are projects that build this one, so as you work through this course you will collect source material and ideas that relate to this project. You will use the information you locate to make a persuasive argument regarding a campaign of your design to the hypothetical college board of directors that supports, explains, and defends your campaign idea with solid facts and logical argument based on source evidence. You will create a campaign idea based on source material and create a proposal paper that works to persuade the board of directors at your hypothetical school to adopt your new budget.
Campaign topic: Propose a campaign to decrease the budget but keep the same services at a hypothetical college (you make up this information – college name, number of students, etc.) that has an issue with overspending and needs to make some changes to stay within their budget. For this proposal, you will find sources that explain how to create a budget and stay within it for a university, how to decrease spending for a university without losing services, statistics and facts to support your argument, and examples of other universities that utilized similar ideas to cut spending that were successful to back your ideas.
