1. Larry Dagenhart, Chair, Chancellor Search Committee, Member, Board of Trustees
- Welcomed the opportunity to address the Senate, and suggested that the Chair of the BOT might speak briefly to the Faculty Senate on an annual basis
- Reviewed the Chancellor Search process:
- The committee secured Shelly Weiss Storbeck as a Consultant in August
- Under Hatha Hayes, completed Search Profile, now on the web and in the library
- Now in outreach process--every US university president, provost contacted
- Examine applicant pool in Dec, begin interviews in Jan, Feb recommends to BOT
- BOT recommend 2-3 candidates to Pres. Broad early Mar, she recommends to BOG mid-Mar, Chancellor on board by Jul 1
- Answered questions
- "not sure" if there will be public process with candidates interviewed by faculty delegates; if there are sitting presidents as finalists, they often withdraw rather than be named publically, so it may be necessary to keep the process secret, utilizing a "shadow committee" of campus reps to interview privately
- consultant has extremely wide knowledge of people in higher ed; role is to assist the committee, not to be a decision-maker
- OP is involved in recruitment process, but it remains under direction of committee
2. Chancellor Leutze
- Provost Hosier noted BD 119 will be signed by the OP on 11/15; faculty will receive letters of their new salaries from chairs after that date.
- BOT is concerned about major issues facing UNCW, including:
- growth to 12,500 by 2007: how can campus accomplish that, including how to get necessary future buildings in process now to have online then
- funding, in an era of declining state support
- diversity, and how to achieve university's goals
- teacher and nursing shortage in the near future
3. President of the Faculty Assembly Veit
- BOG approved university's requests, which included 6% pay raise for each of next two years, but getting this through the legislature will require intense lobbying
- assembly meets on Friday; among the goals is to establish minimum standards of faculty governance for all campuses, many of which lag behind UNCW
4. President of the Senate Noland
- noted that the Faculty Senate will elect the President for next year in December
- introduced Patricia Turrisi, Director of the Center for Teaching Excellence, who presented on the Intercultural Week. The Senate voted a "sense of the Senate" declaration in favor of the program without dissent.
5. David Miller, Chair, Committee for the NCAA Division I Athletics Certification Self-Study
- report is being finalized, will soon be on Department of Athletics website and in the library
- the committee will welcome any responses to the report

The option is especially appropriate for a double major, an English major coupled with a minor in an area study (e.g., Women’s Studies or American Studies), or an English major in combination with another program (e.g., Honors) or degree (e.g., a BFA in Creative Writing). This option is also useful to students training for careers in law, international business or government, or the media (e.g., film or drama criticism, film or television production).
