CSU 203

Notes

Present: John Thoemke, Rose Marie Ley, Mark Johnson, Yueh-Ting Lee, Chris Mickle, Maureen Prenn, Cindy Janney

1. Minutes of the November 12 meeting were approved.
2. John Thoemke provided an update on the Priority 5 Task Force (Enhancing Academic Excellence in Undergraduate Program Studies).  The group started meeting late in the fall semester, so there is little to report at this time.  The task force has divided into working groups for this semester.  The plan is to have a draft report available for campus review by April 30.  We will arrange for a more complete report from this task force later in the semester.
3. Discussion of implementation of campus master plan.  This is based on the report from Sean McGoldrick last fall, particularly regarding the various proposals for addressing traffic and parking concerns.  These issues have come to the forefront in the context of the new development in the University Square area, and the desire of City and County officials to expedite Stadium Road improvements intended to increase safety.  Sean was unable to attend today’s meeting, but will be invited to the next meeting for further discussion.  Members of the Planning sub-meet have expressed some concerns about whether some of these proposals are consistent with the master plan or not.
4. Discussion of agenda items for the remainder of this semester.  Intend to continue reviewing and discussing the work of the task forces, consistent with the charge of this sub-meet.  The co-chairs will work together to draft a tentative schedule of topics for the remaining meetings of the semester.
