Academic Affairs Committee
Ms. Marti Leighty, Chair of the Academic Affairs Committee, introduced the following presenters:
Dr. Rosemary Barra, Vice President for Academic Affairs began her report with a summary of Student Research and Creativity Day. Programs were distributed to all Board members. She reported that approximately 100 students were participating in the event, which was led by Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs John Morello.
Dr. Barra then reviewed proposed changes to the Faculty Handbooks of both the Fredericksburg and Stafford campuses. These modifications included updates to the administrative organizational chart, the formation of a new Budget Advisory Committee, limitations to memberships on standing committees, and changes to promotion criteria for the rank of professor.
Dr. Norah S. Hooper, Associate Professor of Education and College of Graduate & Professional Studies Faculty Representative to the Board, was unable to attend the meeting due to her required participation at the Council for Exceptional Children conference in Louisville, Kentucky. Her report was distributed at the meeting.
Dr. Meta Braymer, Vice President for Graduate and Professional Studies and Special Assistant to the President for Strategic Initiatives and Partnerships, described the Teaching Students with Autism Certification program, commenting that this type of initiative was very new for the state of Virginia, as well as the country. She stated that the need is great, with approximately 1 out of every 150 students diagnosed with a form of autism. Pending Board approval, this new program may start as early as Summer 2007.
Continuing her program report, Dr. Braymer touched on the successes of CGPS. She expects that 256 students will graduate in May, which brings the total number of graduates since the opening of CGPS to over 900. The facility itself has brought about a tremendous increase in interest among area businesses eager to rent classrooms and conference space. She highlighted a special program to be hosted at CGPS later this month. “Strong Students, Safe Schools,” an anti-bullying campaign, will be presented on April 25 and 26. The timely 2-day event will target both school children and Stafford County school administrators.
Dr. Barra distributed a report from the Gari Melchers Home and Studio and offered to entertain any questions. She then summarized the James Monroe Museum report, which proposed 3 resolutions for the Board’s consideration.
On motion by Ms. Leighty, seconded by Ms. Albertine, and agreed to by all Board members, they went into Closed Meeting pursuant to Section 2.2-3711(A)(1) for Personnel. Non-Board members, with the exception of Mr. Hurley, left the room.

After a 15-minute break, Rector Poole resumed the agenda with a brief report from Dr. Stephen W. Fuller, Professor of Biology and President of the Faculty Senate. Dr. Fuller summarized recent motions brought to the Faculty Senate. These motions included faculty evaluation procedures and merit pay.

Student Affairs Committee
Mr. Ben Hernandez, Chair of the Student Affairs Committee, introduced the following presenters:
Mr. Jay Sinha, Student Government Association President, reported on the SGA Transition ceremony from the previous week, as well as the “Care to Share” program. He also introduced his brother and President Elect Krishna Sinha. Mr Sinha commented that the vigil for Virginia Tech held in Ball Circle the previous night was a huge success, and he thanked Dr. Chirico, Mr. Hurley, and Dean Rucker for their meaningful participation in the ceremony.
Dr. Bernard M. Chirico, Vice President for Student Affairs, provided updates on several areas, beginning with the Honor System. He highlighted the new educational DVD that will be distributed to incoming students beginning in the fall of 2007 and stated that providing better training to Honor Council members is still a top priority. He reported that the trip to the Division III Final Four Women’s Basketball tournament was a great experience, and that UMW was represented well, both in attendance at the games and in spirit. Dr. Chirico stated that the CAPS center was experiencing many positive changes under the leadership of Dr. Riley.
In response to the Virginia Tech tragedy, Dr. Chirico stated that UMW students had not expressed any noteworthy concern about campus security at Mary Washington. Rector Poole took this opportunity to commend the actions of both Mr. Hurley and Dr. Chirico in the aftermath of the Virginia Tech shootings. Mr. Hurley commented that the two campuses were alike in that students do not use the campus phone system, they tend to ignore emails from administration, and many refuse to provide their personal cell numbers to the University. Mr. Hurley agreed with the Board that extensive planning, preparedness, and training for such an event must be a priority at UMW. He stated that an emergency operations plan does exist and has been used in the past. The University is also developing a Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP).
At 12 noon, Rector Poole invited all in attendance to join in the statewide moment of silence to observe those killed in the Virginia Tech shootings.
Alumni Relations and Advancement Committee
Ms. Pat Revere, Chair of the Alumni Relations and Advancement Committee, introduced the following presenters:
Ms. Cynthia Snyder, Director of Alumni Relations, gave an update on recent alumni activities. Alumni were contacted the previous day (Thursday, April 19) and were encouraged to participate in the Virginia Tech memorial service in Richmond. Ms. Snyder reported that there are three more regional Town Meeting programs remaining: Annapolis, Baltimore, and Irving. Mr. Hurley will be speaking at those events. The Distinguished Graduate in Residence program with Mr. Dan Wolfe was well-attended. Mr. Wolfe taught a total of 7 classes in 2 days. Ms. Snyder summarized various family-friendly activities that will be offered during Reunion weekend, June 1-3.
Mr. Jeffrey W. Rountree, Vice President for Advancement, summarized reports from the Gari Melchers Home and Studio, annual giving, reunion giving, and the BOV Challenge. The UMW Foundation met last week and approved the 2007-08 budget.

Dr. Mikhalevsky reported that the effort to integrate the administrative and information systems across the two campuses is a continuing effort. A newly formed Enterprise System Group met for the first time last Monday, April 9th. The purpose of this group is to better manage the planning and implementation of the University’s enterprise systems.
Under Dr. Mikhalevsky’s leadership, the new Student Services Committee will coordinate administrative and business services to students, and will evaluate current university policies and procedures that define these services. The committee has already recommended a number of changes and will welcome three students to the committee in April.
In the area of University Relations and Communications, Dr. Mikhalevsky commended Ms. Mary Randolph Corbin and Ms. Teresa Mannix for their very capable leadership and professionalism during the disturbing events of the last few weeks.
Dr. Meta Braymer provided an update on strategic initiatives, including a recent meeting with Captain Judy Smith and also about 20 alumni now working at JWAC in Dahlgren. With the $2 million appropriation for the UMW Education and Research Center at Dahlgren, the land acquisition process and programmatic planning has begun. There have also been continuing discussions with the Naval Postgraduate School and, most recently, Fort A.P. Hill in Caroline County. Dr. Braymer will attend at Business Roundtable discussion at A.P. Hill on May 1. A final highlight was a report on an invitation offered by the Virginia State Reading Association to three of UMW’s faculty members to work on a project at the University of Education at Winneba in Ghana, Africa. The goal is to develop a partnership between UMW and UEW that will provide valuable experiences for UMW students.
Administration, Audit, and Finance Committee
Mr. Fred Thompson, Chair of the Administration, Audit, and Finance Committees, introduced the following presenters:
Ms. Helen Vanderland, Director of Audit, introduced Karen Hilderman, who was representing the Auditor of Public Accounts (APA).

She reported that better documentation of policies and procedures was required, and that data centers at both campuses raised physical and environmental concerns. She commended the University for making steady progress with the COOP plan.
Ms. Vanderland distributed 5 recommendations to the board pertaining to the network closet security in George Washington Hall and at CGPS.
