The Social Council of the University of La Laguna held an extraordinary online session today, Tuesday, November 10, to address a two-item agenda at the request of the university's management: the approval of a budget amendment of \u20ac1.75 million and the authorization of two administrative contracts. Given their financial nature, these matters require the approval of the Social Council to proceed, and both received the endorsement of the governing body.<\/p>\n
The manager of the University of La Laguna, Lidia Pereira, presented these points to the board members. The first concerns a budget modification whereby 1,750,000 euros, initially earmarked for Chapter I expenses, will now be used for Chapter II and VI expenses, primarily related to construction and supplies.<\/p>\n
Pereira explained that, according to regulations, all job applications must be budgeted at the beginning of the year, but in September the Management reviews the status of the positions, some of which are not filled for different reasons, so that the corresponding credit reserve can be released and reused for other purposes, provided that it has the proper authorizations.<\/p>\n
The manager pointed out in this regard that the Human Resources Department has issued a report assuring that there is budgetary availability to pay the salaries and remuneration supplements remaining this year, so this modification of Chapter I is feasible.<\/p>\n
He then detailed how the credit would be used: 300,000 euros would cover works to mitigate the negative effects of radon gas in university facilities; 1,200,000 to pay for the outstanding electricity supply until the processing of the new contract with the corresponding energy company is completed in the coming weeks; 148,000 for contracts related to property appraisals linked to strategic projects, some renovations and the acquisition of various equipment, including radon meters; 20,000 to pay for travel expenses of staff participating in the University Entrance Exams; and 54,000 for the Vice-Rectorate for Internationalization and Cooperation to meet some of its management commitments, among others.<\/p>\n
Regarding the second point, on the one hand, the execution of a landscape project in the gardens of the Central Building was authorized, which are related to the conversations held with the San Crist\u00f3bal de La Laguna City Council in which the municipality expressed its interest in turning that area into a green lung located at one of the entrances to the city.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, the subscription to and access for the Science journal platform was approved, an essential service for the research staff of the University of La Laguna. During the debate on this item, the possibility of creating a consortium for this purpose was suggested, involving other universities and research institutions in the autonomous community, so that this essential investment for scientific activities could be shared\u2014a model that already exists in Andalusia, Madrid, Catalonia, Galicia, and Castile and Le\u00f3n. The president of the Social Council, Francisco Almeida, indicated that the body would study the feasibility of this proposal and with that, he adjourned today's session.<\/p>\n
