based on the Governor's budget, the House of Representatives' budget, and
the Senate's budgets. The remainder of the discussion focused on preparations
for the Budget Advisory Committee meeting that is scheduled for April 20
at 11:00 a.m. in Barge 412.
2. Reorganization of the policies manual/Part 2 - Dr. Street
Dr. Street distributed suggested changes to the organization
of the CWU Policies Manual. Judy Miller, Kim Dawson, and Dr. Street will
work with the administrative assistants in the four divisions to get this
process started. The reorganization will require each division to review
their sections for accuracy.
3. External Diversity Council - Dr. Street
Dr. Street reminded the group that the External Diversity Council will meet
April 29 at CWU-Des Moines. A "get ready" meeting is scheduled for Thursday,
April 21.
4. Update - University Seal for McConnell
Scott Robinson clarified questions that Cabinet had regarding the university seal for McConnell Auditorium.
The seal is eight feet in diameter and approximately two inches thick. Its
composition is sign-maker plastic and vinyl lettering with a metal infrastructure
inside for hanging. The metal infrastructure is to allow for spinning the
piece according to the type of event that is scheduled. For official events
(President's Speaker Series, commencement, etc.), the seal would be used.
For other events (Boy's State, freshmen orientation, etc.), the logo side
would be used. The cabinet agreed that purchasing this seal/logo for McConnell
was a good idea. The Diversity Center has contributed $1000 to this project
and Dr. McIntyre will also be contributing to this purchase.
