Individual reports

1. Chancellor Rosemary DePaolo reported, including the following:
• President Broad singled out UNCW for compliments at the Board of Governors meeting for achievements, including Carole Tallant's winning the Carnegie Award, Daniel Baden's work on cystic fibrosis, and student fundraising to aid tsunami victims.
• She sees state House bill HB1264 as benign in intent. It would study university course offerings and facilities in relation to needs of the state's work force. It may do good, but the fear is that it would mandate expensive programs at university expense.
• The Board of Governors is unlikely to approve requests for campus-based tuition increases. The General Assembly may raise tuition, but we won't get the revenue.
• The Board of Governors is presenting a long wish list to the legislature, including a nursing building for UNCW, equity funding (now called "minimally acceptable level of state appropriations, or MALSA), and a 6% salary increase (unlikely to be realized).
• Haleigh Beyer, spirit chair for ACE, spoke about Homecoming (theme: "Teal the End of Time").
• In response to a question, Chancellor DePaolo said she "would not oppose" a faculty dining room.
   
2. President Daniel Noland reported as follows:
   • Departments should hold elections for senators for 2005-2007 terms prior to scheduling fall courses, so that senators do not have Tuesday afternoon classes.
   • Curricular changes approved by our expedited procedure for minor changes are posted on the Curriculum Committee website.
   • Basic Studies proposals will come to us in February. Departments need to think seriously about the core academic mission of the university.
