President Oshinski attended the Board of Regents meeting, and the board decided not to endorse Governor List's request for an additional 5% cut in fundd. The only problem with that decision is that it was based on the fact that the local school boards have not made a cut yet. What this means is that CSUN is given more time to prepare for the issue when it finally occurs. 2. At the regents meeting, he received a letter from Governor List concerning the cut, and Regent Jack McBride who lead the University's effort by refusing to accept these proposed cuts. It WDuld be appro-priate if any senators feel compelled to write him a letter of support. 3. President Oshinski concluded that the regents will have an open hearing on their agenda when student government and students in general will be allowed to voice their opinions or grievances regarding the Consolidated fee Structure. 4. He announced that the Executive Board is forming a Committee on.
