ANNOUNCEMENTS: CONSOLIDATED STUDENTS • UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA 4505 SOUTH MARYLAND PARKWAY • LAS VEGAS, NEVADA 89154-2009 • (702) 895-3477 • FAX (702) 895-4606 SENATE MINUTES 27-24/ August 25, 1997 SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE recognized REGENT ALDEN for attending the meeting. He then announced that DR. ACKERMAN, Vice President for Student Services; FRED ALBRECHT, The Executive Director of Alumni Relations; DR. ANDY FRY, The Executive Assistant to Dr. Harter; and DR.

Lastly, he extended DR. HARTER the courtesy of the floor as a guest speaker. //Applause//. DR. HARTER thanked the Senate for inviting her to speak before the Senate. She emphasized that "we are blessed with a state that has been supportive of higher education with a Chancellor and Regents who have really advocated for the university system of the legislature very successfully." She added that the university system as a whole got a 29% increase from the last bienium to this bienium with UNLV getting approximately an 15% in our budget. She stated that this is important in terms of faculty and important staff positions, increased financial aid and financial aid opportunities, technology, and gender equity in athletics (a major problem across the whole country). She added that we got two major items in this legislature which have an extraordiniary value to UNLV students - the new library and the new law school. She pointed out that the library is a $15,000,000 library - the largest single capital project ever built in the state of Nevada and funded by state dollars to be built in the state of Nevada. She stated that this library will eventually hold 2,000,000 volumes, will have 2500 student spaces for studying Wired for state-of-the-technology and ovide access to not only national databases, but also international databases, and will be the best research library in the Southwest. She explained the benefits of the upcoming new law school and stated that she hopes that we'll be able to develop a set of programs that will connect the law school to many other programs on campus (e.g., the joint MBA/JE degree and gaming law). She stated that they are looking at new ways to encourage faculty and staff to become very directly involved in the student learning and to become directly with the community in a variety of ways. She emphasized that the students who were at the retreat were not shy and spoke their minds. She repeated SENATOR GRIFFITH'S comments to the faculty that "Remember folks, you're here to teach and advise us, and don't forget that in this process." She stated that what she thought the student did so much of was keep reminding people of the great important of the teaching mission and the involvment of students in the teaching and learning process and in the things that need to get fixed (e.g., better academic advising and better coordination of student services). She repeated Terry Piper's words that "we have gotten the language into the culture, we've gotten student-focused, student-centered into our university, but we may not have gotten the concept really embedded; and there are people on all sides that use it incorrectly." She stated that she is really optimistic about the planning process. She noted that we're going to have multiple construction projects on the campus, approximately eleven going on simultaneously (e.g., the architecture structure, a brand new gaming institute building on the corner of Swenson and Flamingo, the new Paradise school on the campus with the Benett Professional Center right next to it, a new music building over near the Fine Arts building, and an upgraded Thomas and Mack and Silver Bowl). She added that we have got some really positive community support, community private dollars coming to the institution to help with ase projects, and it's a great time to be at UNLV. She stated that we have eight new deans who are 2 SENATE MINUTES 27-24/ August 25, 1997 key academic leaders who have all been first choice candidates. She stated that each one of them is >en to looking at old chores in new ways. In response to a question, DR. ACKERMAN stated that an upgrade has occured in UNLV's police force. SENATOR LIDEROS thanked DR. HARTER for the financial aid and work study for the College of Engineering. In response to a question, she stated that one of the ways to expand the upgrade of technology is by adding a technology fee to tuition. SENATOR FLEISCHMAN suggested submitting this as a ballot question to students. SENATE PRESIDENT PRO-TEMPORE PERSCH also thanked DR. HARTER for all she has done over the past two years. PROVOST FERRARO enters at 7:28 p.m.. In response to another question, DR. HARTER stated that if we could afford to we would build more residence halls, but the problems with residence housing are cost and competition with cheaper housing in the Las Vegas community. SENATE PRESIDENT MOORE thanked DR. HARTER and congratulated her on her contract extension (four more years of excellent leadership). //Applause//. STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT MILLS addressed the Senate with his State of the Campus-idress. He stated, "My fellow Students, on this the first day of the new school year, we stand together poised on a new era, the start of a new decade in the history of our great university. Yesterday is called the past, and we can look back with pride; at; the accomplishments we have made in 40 years. Tomorrow is called the future, and we must strive to make the next 40 years even better." . ^ . "Today is called the present, because it is a gift we give ourselves. We must make the most of this gift by making the most of this and every day that follows. We must look beyond our current boundaries and seek out new horizons. We must strive to do what must be done and win what must be won." "Forty years ago, the place where we now stand was a desert. Today that desert is full of the blooming flowers of knowledge. We must make this place a garden of knowledge, lush with learning; a place where students are nurtured and can grow to be the people and professionals that they strive to become. We must make this premier university, our premier university, where students and learning are the premier thought in the minds of the administration, and where learning does not cost students a premium of either time or money. We must make our university reponsive to the needs of all of our students. We must make each day, a gift to each student, something that is valued. We must make everything we do something of value for all students, something we can take pride in, both today and in forty years. We must make today a present for students to cherish Tomorrow. Thank you."

She stated that they had originally decided to go back to a stagnant (pay) because the year before we paid the person $400.00 a month, and that particular person wasn't doing anything.
