Anticipating Chancellor DePaolo’s imminent arrival, and with a quorum present,
The minutes of the
The agenda was set aside for
Dr. Dragna to describe strategic initiatives in assessment of learning outcomes
in Student Affairs, and to introduce Dr. Matt Mayhew, UNCW’s
new Director of Student Life Assessment.
The
Council discussed amendments to the Strategic Plan proposed by the Chancellor’s
Cabinet, including a new strategic goal encompassing quality environment and
campus safety, and several new and reorganized objectives. By consensus, the Council removed the word “academic”
from the phrase “Enhance the quality of UNCW’s academic
environment and...” Mr. Clark moved
(seconded by Dr. Roer) to approve the revised
goals and objectives. The motion
carried without dissent.
The
Council began consideration of strategic policies and targets required for
master planning. Following lengthy
discussion, the Council approved the following strategy (under Goal VI,
Objective 1):
·
Meet a target of 40% of undergraduates housed on campus by 2020.
In
addition, the Council agreed to inform the master planning consultants of:
·
the university’s current practice of housing 85% of new freshmen on
campus, and
·
the university’s request to include in the parking plan
a remote lot with reliable shuttle system.
Recognizing
that there was insufficient time to address the remaining nine master planning
items at this meeting,
Dr. Core presented a summary
of planned content for upcoming open forums on planning and budgeting. The purposes of these forums will be:
·
to help make the
university’s budget process transparent,
·
to illustrate
that the strategic plan has already had an impact (and that developing the plan
was not and empty exercise), and
·
to explain the process and importance of linking
planning and budgeting.
There was no new business.
The meeting was adjourned at
