In a gas , the energy of the particles is such that the force of the attraction between particles can be easily broken and they can roam freely ; in a solid the attraction between particles is so strong that the particles are fixed into a lattice and cannot easily move . But what is the evidence ? But how the Federal Government can achieve these objectives within a national system of higher education that is as rich and diverse as the one we have in this country is the bigger challenge . Internal unit reallocations move funds from lower to higher priorities within the budget units . These are based on the strategic plans of the University 's 34 college and administrative units , and will allow us to move funds from lower priority items to the highest priority needs of the University . But how can I make such a positive assertion if no one was there to see it ? I have been asked similar questions through MadSci from time to time , and the answer is usually the same in terms of evolution and ecology . This year 's budget includes a 2.0 percent salary increase pool that has been used for merit-based increases , as well as continuation of the Faculty / Staff Excellence Fund and the President 's Excellence Fund , which are used to recognize the University 's top-performing faculty and staff , and to address market and equity concerns . But for cases in which that has n't happened , logically one ca n't argue that it will happen or that it wo n't ; you either believe that it will or you believe that it wo n't .
