Mr. Vertrees distributed CWU´s preliminary Capital Budget request, the Minor Works Program, and the 10-Year Capital Plan for review and discussion.

Dr. Hall reported that Becky Watson will come to Cabinet next week to present the current advertising/marketing pieces that are being used.

2. Memo from Governor Gregoire regarding State Agency Spending
Mr. Corona reported that Human Resources has prepared a list of searches already in process and ones that have been stopped. This will be important data to have summarized since the Governor´s Office will be tracking this. Exceptions will be run through Dr. McIntyre prior to moving forward. Out of state travel will be looked at on an individual basis and will be approved or not according to the governor´s guidelines. Criteria for travel, hiring, and personal service contracts will be developed and shared with Cabinet members at the retreat on Monday.

Dr. McIntyre gave a summary of the capital prioritization process. The review panel is still up in the air. Terry Teale hopes to have this issue resolved this week.
4. Organizational operations protocols
Dr. McIntyre asked Cabinet members to remind their employees that Cabinet is not the policy approving body. Approval items need to go through President´s Advisory Council.

Ms. Dawson will contact Washington Campus Compact to find out who our current contacts are. Cabinet members agreed that Dr. McIntyre and Lorinda Anderson should remain CWU´s main contacts.
6. Information from Global Washington Education Advisory Committee

This group is involved in a statewide initiative to increase global knowledge and awareness among students in Washington´s higher education institutions. The group is that higher education institutions will endorse their global learning goals by signing a petition. Cabinet members agreed that Dr. Quirk should research the initiative and share the information with academic affairs council before a decision is made.
7. President´s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for 2008
Dr. McIntyre explained that she received an invitation to apply for the President´s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for 2008. The Honor Roll annually recognizes institutions of higher education for their commitment and achievement in community service. It increased public awareness of the contributions that colleges and their students make to local communities and the nation as a whole. Cabinet members agreed that this was a good thing to do. Dr. Tullos will follow up on this and submit CWU´s application.
8. AASCU/NASULGC Voluntary System of Accountability (VSA) Project
Dr. McIntyre received a memo from AASCU regarding AASCU´s/NASULGC´s Voluntary System of Accountability (VSA) Project.
