The Legislature's Conference Committee is considering the funding for the Southern Dallas Center. Mountain View and Cedar Valley will host UNT courses in the fall and a stand alone, rental facility will be found for the spring 2000 classes. Faculty selected to teach at the Southern Dallas Center must meet the regular Southern Association of Colleges and Schools requirements. Early enrollment for the Maymester is double that of last year and early enrollment for regular summer sessions is down slightly. Transfer applications are down somewhat at both UNT and across the state.
Graduate enrollment is down nationally.
Vice Chair's Update - Senator Kozak reported the University Committee asked the Chancellor several questions regarding the role of the Athletic Council and the decision making process used by the Athletic Department. The Chancellor requested the Committee invite the Athletic Director to the next Committee meeting to discuss these issues. Committee of the Whole - Senator Froehlich stated that it was unfortunate that there was no system in place to resolve the differences between the Curriculum Committee and the Core Oversight Committee before their reports came to the Senate. She asked the University Committee to look into this problem. The Senate Chair thanked the Core Curriculum Oversight Committee for their work and noted that vested interest does play a part at the departmental level in curriculum issues so both the Curriculum Committee and the Oversight Committee play important roles in the review and approval process.
