Following a periodic review of its centers and institutes, voted to continue the Center for Corrosion in Multi- Phase System Research, the Child Development Center and the Telecommunications Center and extend the review period for the Avionics Engineering Research Center, the Center for Advanced Software Systems Integration, the Institute for Applied and Professional Ethics, the Edison Biotechnology Institute and the Tropical and Geographical Disease Institute. Accepted the University Curriculum Council's review of the School of Journalism and School of Interpersonal Communication. The pilot policy was implemented in 1999-2000, and a reduction in infractions was experienced. Received a report from the Center for Student Advocacy on its first three years of operation. About 1,000 students use the center's educational and legal consultation services each year.
Most issues deal with off-campus housing.
The center also focuses on the increased use of mediation to resolve problems outside of court.
