On Saturday Oct. 23rd the Ohio Conference of the AAUP will meet on UC's campus. Gov. Taft has been invited to speak but so far has not responded. Enrollment was also compromised when one vendor did not meet the terms of its contract to provide Touch-Tone Registration and left the phone registration down for several days. However, WEB registration took the place of this phone registration, and enjoyed a positive student response. There is a Double-digit increase in Ucollege and Nursing.
Graduate levels are good.
Emel Yakali raised the question that since applications are up, but confirmations are down, this would suggest that students are interested in coming to UC-this is not consistent with fears about security and safety. Stan Henderson replied that compared to other institutions we faired badly on security, financial aid and location. The question of the Admissions Office lack of timely response to applicants arising from several senators' questions went unanswered. We had to stop work on distance registration because the faculty insisted on changing to a plus or minus grade system. The website was a success and met the needs left by the phone failure.
