I. At 8:30: Chuck McIntyre re: Cost Study
Mr. McIntyre reported what he's done on the project so far, and the work that is remaining. He was asked to do three things when he began this study. The first thing he did was a cost benchmarking study with our 23 comprehensive peers. The second part of his task was the cost modeling and analysis project. The third piece of what he has been asked to do will be to look at trends and do some forecasting. In the next couple of months, he will be revising the cost modeling and analysis to include feedback from divisions. He plans to visit campus again in October 2005 and report on the third paper (trends & forecasting).

Dr. Tullos reported that freshmen admissions for fall 2005 is officially closed. Confirmation deposits were due on May 1. All communications from Admissions to students have stated that confirmations received after May 1 would be accepted on a space-available basis, so Admissions has found it necessary to begin returning confirmation deposits for fall quarter to freshmen who have not yet confirmed. Admissions will continue to allow transfer students and those few freshmen who were just recently admitted to confirm. Jack Bishop reported on Athletics at the last ASCWU Board of Directors meeting and it went very well. Childcare Central will start back up Fall Quarter for children between the ages of three months and 24 months. Senior Celebration was a very successful event.

The Campus Site and Development Committee has been meeting regularly. They have formed a sub-committee to work on directional signage for the entire university, including the centers and signs on the highways/freeways.
