Wilson explained the existing framework was completed in 1990 with a status report prepared in 1995 for the Regents. Updating the plan was purposely delayed until now to allow our new President to have input into the process. Larry asked what role the CPC would like to take in updating the plan. Tom Dunbar will likely be hired to facilitate this process and provide support staff. Meetings will hopefully be scheduled in late January to meet with campus units by functional area to gain their input and then to meet later in larger campus groups to flesh out what changes to the campus are desirable.
Open meetings are important to receive feedback.
Meeting notes will be sent to all participants so they will have a record of what was said at the meetings. A survey instrument will be developed to gather information at meetings. This will be a low budget update and will incorporate existing master plans such as the lighting study just completed. It needs to be done in a reasonable amount of time. It was suggested that DEOs should name faculty, staff, graduate and undergraduate students to represent their units to participate in the meetings.
