Memorandum To: Marco Rubio CC: Ronald Berkman, Provost & Senior Vice President, Academic Affairs From: Dr. Dario Moreno, Director, FIU Metropolitan Center Date: 12/3/2015 Re: Marco Rubio Assignments for the Fall 2008 Semester As per our conversations, your appointment as a Distinguished Service Professor at Florida International University covers three broad areas of responsibility in: teaching, research, and service. Teaching responsibilities will include serving as a co-instructor with Political Science Professor, Dr. Dario Moreno, in a special topic Political Science course entitled “Florida and the 2008 Presidential Election.” Your responsibilities will include course development, lecture development, and evaluations of students. In the Spring 2009 semester you will serve as co-instructor in the Political Science course entitled Miami Politics. Service responsibility will include the development of a Metropolitan Center Stakeholder luncheon. This will be a new public service series that will bring key decision makers in government, public service, and business for an “off the record” luncheon discussion with South Florida’s leadership. We anticipate at least two of these stakeholder luncheons over the next nine months. You will also assist the Metropolitan Center staff with the very successful MetroForum Breakfast Series. Specifically, you will be responsible for program development of two breakfasts during the Fall 2008 semester in August or September on Hurricane Mitigation and an October breakfast on the 2008 Presidential Election. Research responsibilities for the Fall 2008 semester include assisting with the policy recommendations in the Metropolitan Center’s Regional Affordable Housing project. Specifically, you will help develop policy recommendations with Dr. Ned Murray and his team for the Regional Housing Summit and arrange a follow-up conference in late November between the leadership of the conference and local and state leadership to discuss the recommendations approved by regional stakeholders. As we discussed, you will also develop a proposal for a “demonstration project” on affordable housing that will bring together a private employer, local government, and developers. Finally, I am reviewing your proposal on thirty-eight (38) possible research projects and will select those that are most appropriate for the development of the Metropolitan Center during the Fall and Spring.

Rubio is showing up in her ADP list at $69,000 which was his salary last year. Kim's understanding s that he should be at $40,000 this year. Also, she is waiting to here if his renewal was finally approved by the provost. Can we clarify either of these two questions for her. She does not want to approve him on ADP unless she has been given the proper authorization.
