Crime Alert: Burglary in Foss
May 23, 2012: Burglary
At 1:20 am this morning Public Safety officers discovered a burglary in Foss Center, while doing a walkthrough of the building. Upon further investigation, it was found that three suspects forced entry through an exterior door between Music and Murphy Place. They then ran through the building, forced entry into Foss center and took equipment from a suite in Foss. The suspects were in and out of the building within 5 minutes, just before 11pm last night. Minneapolis Police was called to the scene and are investigating this crime. Some of the property taken was recovered by St Paul Police this morning. If you have any information about this crime, please report to Public Safety Director Jesse Cashman 612-330-1644, cashman@augsburg.edu or Minneapolis Police 911.

Augsburg College believes that descriptors alone are not a valid reason to profile or
cast suspicion on any individual. They are included here because they may reasonably assist
in identifying the perpetrators of this incident.
You Can Help Prevent Crime at Augsburg!
Immediately report any suspicious activity to the Minneapolis Police or Augsburg DPS.
Always lock your individual office door and the suite door whenever you leave, even if you will only be gone briefly. Most home burglaries take only 3 to 5 minutes, office burglaries can take even less time.
If you misplace or do not have a key, please call x1717 and ask us to come and lock the office. Please wait in the office until we arrive.
Do not prop open doors. If you see a door propped open, close the door and report it to DPS by calling 1717.

Focused Conversation CSF Final Report & FY13 Budget
You are invited to a Focused Conversation on the final report of the Commission on Strategic Finance and the FY13 Budget!
Earlier this month, the Board of Regents received the final report of the Commission on Strategic Finance which set the stage for a strategic, disciplined approach toward stewardship of institutional resources in ways that will grow our student body while increasing the quality of net tuition revenue dollars while reforming the ways in which we do our work so as to leverage resources.
Regents also approved the College’s budget for the fiscal year beginning June 1st, 2012. The budget calls for a discipline of growing compensation and operating expenses at a slower rate than the growth of tuition and other revenue. Capital expenditures were budgeted to keep with the second year of projects identified in last year’s Campus Space and Master Plan with an eye toward bridging the needs of the sciences between now and when the Center for Science Business and Religion is built.
Please join Tammy McGee, V.P. of Finance and Administration; Julie Edstrom, V.P. of Enrollment; and Staney Rostad, Controller; for a focused conversation related to the:
• Commission on Strategic Finance Final Report, and,
• FY13 Budget
Next Wednesday, May 30th, at 11:00AM, in Oren Gateway Center, room 100.
The narratives for these two reports are being posted to the College Reports section of Inside Augsburg.
