Notes

Present: Rose Marie Ley, Yueh-Ting Lee, Chris Mickle, Jim Grabowska, Lynne Weber, Glen Peterson, Sean McGoldrick, Susan Coultrap-McQuin, John Thoemke

1. Concern was expressed regarding the low attendance at the last several meetings of this group.
2. The group discussed the Enrollment Management Plan, which has been completed and forwarded to President Davenport.  Susan Coultrap-McQuin had served as convenor of this task force, and gave an overview of the changes that had been incorporated in response to the feedback provided to the task force during the summer and fall of 2003.  Some of these included the addition of a vision statement added to the beginning of the report, and the addition of assumption statements regarding the need for sufficient spaces on campus to continue to effectively serve all students (#3), and regarding MSU’s primary service to undergraduate full-time students (#4).  She also noted that the assumption regarding the increasing role of extended studies had been clarified (#6).  A key aspect of the plan is the establishment of a permanent Enrollment Management committee to oversee and assess the implementation of the plan.
As the group discussed the plan, the following points were noted:
• A suggestion that the Enrollment Management committee should include disability status as an additional consideration in promoting increased diversity on campus.  This is consistent with statements made in the draft plan of the Diversity Task Force.
• The importance of keeping facilities master planning in step with growth.
