I have a question about severance pay in grant proposals.  The Director of our
Student Support Services grant retired and our Budget Director is saying
severance pay -- a significant amount of money -- must come out of grant funds.
 The feds have told her this is an allowable expense.  This may have a
devastating effect on the grant project.  My actual question, however, is:  I
have never heard of including severance pay in an original grant proposal.  Has
 anyone out there done this?
