Chancellor DePaolo called the
meeting to order at 3:30 pm.
The minutes of the February
27 meeting were approved as distributed on the Web.
Resource plans in general. There was agreement that strategic resource
plans can be useful as general overview descriptions of a) where we are now in
relation to our targets, b) approximately how much it will cost to get where we
want to go, and c) (to the extent possible) where we expect the funding to come
from. Neither the progress measures nor
the resource plans make sense in isolation.
They must be supported and expanded at the division and unit levels;
more analysis and detail are needed to fully understand all related issues; and
careful allocation strategies must be developed at the division and unit
levels. Nevertheless, resource plans provide
an explicit link between planning and budgeting, and they can play an important
role in communicated the university’s needs to external and governing constituents.
Resource plans for progress measures #1 and #2. Draft resource plans for progress measures #1
(student-faculty ratio) and #2 (student-staff ratio) were presented to the
Council, along with a draft memorandum of transmittal to the Chancellor. It was moved and seconded to approve these
resource plans and memorandum. The
motion carried without dissent.
Resource plan for progress
measure #5. A draft resource plan for
progress measure #5 (campus housing) was presented for discussion. A number of suggestions and corrections were
made, and the Council voted to include this resource plan with the memorandum of transmittal
already approved.
Resource plan for progress
measure #6. A draft resource plan for progress
measure #6 (salaries) was presented for discussion. Following the incorporation of several
changes, the Council determined that the draft should be reviewed by Human
Resources and reconsidered at the April 19 meeting.
Resource plans for the remaining progress measures.
