Minutes of the University Planning Council
for May 6, 2002

Present: Tim Fossum, Peggy James, Bill Streeter, Jim Hastings, Don Cress, Bridgette Johnson, Brad Piazza, Sue Norton, Steve McLaughlin, Lenny Klaver, Al Crist, Sandy Duveneck, Esther Letven, Anne Statham, Jack Keating, Rebecca Martin, Chris Evans

1. Minutes of the April l8, 2002 meeting were approved.

2. Al Crist, on behalf of the Enrollment Management Team, presented a draft document entitled, "Goals and Objectives for Shaping our Enrollment and Improving Access to, Success in, and Graduation from our Academic Programs" (attached). This draft has been reviewed and revised by groups across the campus, including the Committee on Teaching and Learning. It builds upon the campus strategic plan and other recent reports and recommendations.

The UPC endorses the draft in concept. The Enrollment Management Team will formally share the draft with the governance and planning groups, seeking feedback on specific items. The team will also work on developing possible measurable outcomes and return to the UPC for discussion by the end of the summer.

3. The proposed UPC budget sub-committee was discussed again. Rebecca Martin suggested that CAP would play a stronger role in strategic planning for academic programs. However, the UPC felt that the campus-wide consideration of budget issues would still be important given our current financial circumstances. Members of this subcommittee, appointed by the respective governance groups, are as follows:

Faculty: Chris Evans, Tim Fossum, Sue Norton, Anne Statham. (Given CAP's role in planning, the University Committee was asked to consider reducing their appointees to three.)
Academic Staff: Brad Piazza, Renee Kirby
Classified Staff: Sandy Duveneck
Administrative Staff: Rebecca Martin, Dave Holle, Bill Blanchard

4. Meeting adjourned at 1:00 PM.

Rebecca Martin, Provost and Vice Chancellor
