ANNOUNCEMENTS A. VPPT GREEN- you received a packet in your box. Please give to faculty. Go to a class or two and survey the students. Give it back to me. I need education, student development, and engineering. I will stay until the judicial council item. B. Senate President Davy- we have Dr. Harter and Dr. mills with us tonight C. Dr. Carol Harter-1 am impressed with CSUN. I think you are responsible and mature. I interact with the executive board and I see how you are. I see how you guys are committed, and thank you for your Work. I am impressed with the offices. The student enrollment for this year was up 22% partly due to the Millennium Scholarship. We hope that this increases the participation rate among students. We are 50l1 out of 50th of all states for high school students going to college. About 475 students did not remain eligible for the Millennium Scholarship. We think that students took school too lightly, and didn't make the grade point average. I want CSUN to communicate to the students for them to do good in college. They are not prepared for college work. The new library is a monumental step forward for UNLV. I love that students immediately took to the library, and that students are using the library. It is a good statement on where the university is going. The coffee shop is another great addition to the library. The new music center has been delayed, but it will open some time in the spring. The delay is due to outside problems. Classes will be in there in the fall. The new engineering complex will be started soon. This is a 75 million dollar project. This will bring better professors to the University. The new building will also attract new growth to UNLV. Wright Hall will be going through renovations soon. It is the second oldest building on campus. We will provide a new autordium. We also want an addition to the student services building. Everything in Fraizer Hall will go in this new building. Students wont have to ravel one end of the campus to another. The new bookstore and the old bookstore will be finished pretty soon. The parking garage has started. We are thinking of starting a regional campus in Summerlin. This will be mainly a high tech campus. We are hoping companies will help us finance this. The new residence hall will open soon. More campus residents will help student life on campus. These students make a greater commitment to student life. We are likely to start building another residence hall after this one. In five years, we are likely to double our residence population. We are constantly recruiting faculty. We hired over 400 faculty in the past five years. We have a great advantage because of our growth. They are coming from the past colleges around the country. We want to retain our old faculty also. The search for Vice president of student life is being narrowed down. We have three finalists at the moment. CSUN will meet these three candidates. We are in the middle of a legislative session. I travel up to the North a few times a month. Most of the power is still in the north. I would be very grateful if some of you (senate) would travel up to the north and speak to the board on the changes we need. I would be happy to answer any questions, and I will stay as long as needed. SENATOR ZARDNT asked why the Board of Regents is raising the GPA and have you considered taking a stand on this? Dr. Harter: We have had a meeting. We are starting this discussion for our campus. How can we recruit the best students? The average GPA at UNLV is over 3.0. We are looking at how it will change us. How do we insure the consequences such as a negative effect on a particular effect on one type of students? Also, we are looking a time frame for this to change. In addition, we are able to discuss this better now than in the past because of the creation of the Nevada State College, will take those students that can't get into UNLV. There will be three choices, State, UNLV, and community. SENATOR ZARDNT will the GPA requirement affect Nevada high school students Dr. Harter; This will affect all students. Transfer students, UNLV students, and Nevada high school students. SENTAOR ZARDNT I feel that this will discriminate a lot of Nevada high school students. It is excluding students that might do will at UNLV. Dr. Harter: Those students always have the option of transferring to UNLV. It is only 11% of incoming freshmen that are below a 3.0 GPA SENATOR ZARDNT: I think it easy for students to fall below the 3.0 GPA in high school due to extra curricular activities Dr. Harter- We will revise the admissions requirements. Such as essays and standardized tests to look at students in different ways. It might be ACT or extra curricular activities. We do not want to block students. However, we don't want the stigma of being not selective enough. We need to blend these two needs. SENATOR MORADKHAN: I think this is a great idea. We need to set our standards high. We passed a resolution over summer passing this. SENATOR DAYANI: I think this is a great idea. It will raise the level of the university. The GPA requirement will do this. SENATOR HOMAMPOUR: We are both members of the I AC. We have had some set backs from the NAACP. I believe athletes will be very important to UNLV. What do you think? Dr. Harter: I think we will become a major university in the country and the world. We need to uphold all areas of UNLV. Think of other universities, Stanford and Duke. They have great academic, athletic, and other programs. As long as athletics doesn't drain other areas of the university. Even having high salaries for the sport coaches, all of those dollars will come from the athletic departments. It won't affect other departments at UNLV. Our athletic budget is 17 million. 1 million is from the state budget. 1 million from a piece of student fee. The rest is from ticket sales, concession sales, etc. Sports are almost 80% self supporting. A high profile coach will increase revenue. Football has turned into a sport at UNLV. We have increased visibility at this school because of our coach. Basketball is much cheaper than football. Our revenues will go up a lot if we have a high profile coach. It will not affect the other departments and their budgets. SENATOR POWELL: There was nearly a million dollars that was diverted away from the preschool. Dr. Harter: That was private money. 100% Private funds. The new preschool will be built by 5 million dollars given by the President of Sahara Hotel. This will double the students enrolled in the school. We will open daycare on the campus also. We are talking to the Boys and Girls club, which is across the street. We are thinking of building an on campus site. This will give more opportunity for internships. We have hired many more teachers and faculty from the education college. SENATOR WILLIAMS: What is your position on the student health fees. Dr. Harter: It is a necessary evil that we have to do. We haven't raised the fee in over eight years. We haven't kept up with inflation costs. It is an important thing to do for students. We need to cut the hours or increase the fee. UNR's fee is 57.00. Our fee is 20.00 It is inevitable SENATOR WILLIAMS: How is McDermott going to be redone? Dr. Harter: The state does not fund that kind of recreation space. We were turned down by private departments. We might look at student funds. The student union was built for 5000 students not 23,000 students. We are going to start discussions on this topic. It has to be a student support event. SENATOR CHASIN : Is there any way of diverting funds from the sports to the people? Dr. Harter: We put money into the sports from our budget. We put over 500,000 into the pool. We can't divert too much money. Men's basketball carries basically every other sport. Woman's sports are carried by the mans sports. We can't take away money from other sports and put it into swimming. We might take it away from other new woman's sports. 48% of sports at UNLV are for woman. UNLV is 56% woman. Senator Williams leaves 6:38 PM Senator Williams returns at 6:39 PM Dr. Mills: The student health fee is a topic that we are bring to the Board. We are bringing the idea to the board of a raise to 30. At this meeting we will bring our request. The next meeting will be to vote on. We have come to this conclusion before the student survey is done. This will generate another 400,000 for UNLV. The fee increase will maintain a twelve hour day, add more services, part time pharmacist, more lab technicians, more specialties, more gynecologists, cover graduate assistants. These are some of the benefits that will arise from the increase. This fee has been around since 1992. Costs have risen tremendously. We know that college students are not rich, and this health center is their only source of health care. I am discussing parking fees also. SENATOR WILLIAMS: I know the ten dollar fee it wasn't getting the student health center accredited. When will it be? For student health center to take insurance, it has to be accredited. What is that? Dr. Mills: I don't know where that is in progress. If accreditation is necessary to take insurance, than we will get an answer shortly. I will talk to Lori. This topic hasn't come up in my conversations with her. SENATOR DILORENZO: What percentage is relying on this student center? Dr. Mills: Over 14,000 visits have been made in the past year. 70% of students that they see say that the center is their only source of health center. Graduate students also rely on this. A large portion of the nation is under insured, so are unlv students. SENATOR ZARDNT: Why was the 10 dollar fee chosen? Dr. Mills: We didn't want to increase it too much. We have a parking fee that will be coming up shortly. We won't raise the fee the next two years. In these two years we can see what students want. I feel that this ten dollars is fully justified. This will also increase psychologist hours. We are being faced with students taking medication that needs a psychologists to administer these drugs. I will come back and talk about parking. STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT MORDKHAN: I have met with the directors to increase participation. We are looking into the Rebel Yell Radio Station. The goals of this station will to enrich students life, to inform students about student life at UNLV, and to play music that students want to hear. This will give students opportunity to work for the radio station. Senators, you have proposals in your boxes. Come to the next meeting with changes.

They weren't contacted. Director Holly- I wasn't involved in their selection process. We need up to 7 members to have quorum. 9 members is the maximum. We can still bring more candidates.
