1. Approval of Cabinet minutes from 9/23/03.
Motion to approve as presented by Mr. Corona. Seconded by
Dr. Soltz. No further discussion. Motion carried.
1. OFM agency activity inventory, with Shelly Johnson.
Ms. Johnson received a memo from OFM requesting an update
to the CWU activity report. CWU is using the same format as
WSU and TESC that looks at the university by major functions,
rather than using a programmatically driven grid format. Ms.
Johnson reviewed the document in detail and will submit the
final draft to OFM.
2. Enrollment data requests, with Mike Reilly.
Mr. Reilly distributed and reviewed the 10th
day mini-stats and several other charts and tables that
described our enrollment from several vantages. The group
discussed a variety of enrollment issues in great detail. Mr.
Reilly has had requests from the HECB and the media regarding
what our intentions may be on enrollment caps for the
freshman class next year. The Cabinet discussed various
approaches to fielding such questions.
3. Diversity Council recommendations.
The group reviewed each of the Diversity Council’s
recommendations and discussed them in detail. A number of
recommendations were selected for special emphasis in the
coming year. Dr. Street will summarize the Cabinet’s
responses, which will be submitted as a president’s
report to the BOT along with the Diversity Council’s
report.
4. Financial Aid email question.
Mr. Corona will follow up with Carmen Rahm on this.
The provost is working with the deans and chairs to
calculate costs of accommodating the increase in fall
enrollments so that financial planning can be done for winter
and spring quarters. His office is working to ensure that
university committee slots for faculty are filled for this
year. The University Technology Committee is moving forward
on a number of issues and has some good ideas for making
progress on an information technology plan.
The first summer session meeting was yesterday, 9/30. The
preliminary report shows that summer 2003 was a huge success
from an enrollment and a financial standpoint.
EIS status report for September was distributed. The new
consultant that came in to troubleshoot some specific issues
has been extremely helpful. Overall, the project is still on
budget.
The emergency phone tree was reviewed. Each Cabinet member
designated a backup in the event that they were unavailable
in an emergency.
Mr. Corona was in Olympia on Monday, 9/29 to discuss
capital priorities for the 2005-07 biennium with the HECB.
The current discussion issue is developing the criteria for
prioritizing the list.
An update on the civil service collective bargaining
process was presented.
Dr. Baker gave a short debriefing on the Battle in
Seattle. The actual ticket sales were over 17,000. However,
because the Seahawks provided so few ticket takers hundreds
of people left frustrated and did not attend the game. This
will need to be corrected for next year. A formal debriefing
meeting will be scheduled in the near future for all of those
involved.
The Clymer dinner and auction is next Saturday, October
18.
Dr. Baker met with the investment and finance committee of
the Foundation last Monday. The finance committee will be

Dr. McIntyre attended the COP meeting on Monday, 9/29 in
Seattle to discuss a variety of higher education issues that
are being raised in the legislature this session.
