Motion passed.

Motion from the Finance Committee for the Board to approve the New Residence Life Fees for the price of a single room in the Kelly House and the McAlister Residence Hall.

“Create a new rate for the Kelly House private rooms (2002-2003 Academic Year) at $5,606.  This amount will be charged to students receiving an apartment style room with no roommate.  The previously approved standard double rate for Kelly House and the New Residence Hall is $4,906.  This rate will remain in effect for doubles and the new rate will apply only to those students in the single apartment style rooms.”

Motion passed.

Motion from the Finance Committee for the Board to approve the Residence Life Fee to establish a double room to private room buy-out policy and a rate of one and one half the normal rate.  (This resolution applies to triples/doubles as well).

“ ‘Double-to-Private’ Buy-Out rooms are available on a space available basis only.  Students can submit a written request to the Office of Residence Life and Housing (40 Coming Street) starting the first day of classes for an academic semester.  Opportunity will be given first to those students that are without a roommate after all housing waiting lists have been exhausted and temporarily assigned students have been moved to permanent assignments.  The next priority goes to students in date-received order if open rooms are available to be claimed as a private room.

The rate for a ‘Double-to-Private’ room buy-out is one and one half times the normal charge.  Payment must be made to the Treasurer’s Office and receipt delivered to Residence Life and Housing within 48 hours of the request being granted to have the room as private for the remaining part of the semester.  If the student does not claim the room as a private room then Residence Life and Housing reserves the right to assign a student to the open bed.

Triple rooms cannot be bought out by one student.  However, two roommates may request the ‘buy-out option’ of a third vacant bed by splitting the additional 50% charge or 25% each.”

Motion passed.

Motion from the Finance Committee for the Board to establish a 21-meal plan for student athletes on full scholarship without dining dollars. 

“Create a new Platinum-A meal plan for athletes at $875 per semester.  This is necessary due to NCAA regulations stating that athletes are allowed only three full meals per day.  The closest plan currently in place is the Platinum, which is 21 Café meals plus $125 dining dollars.  The new plan eliminates the dining dollars and establishes a 21 Café plan with no additional dining dollars.”

After discussion and amended motion, motion passed.

New Business:

It was moved (Land) and seconded (Johnson) that the Board go into Executive Session at 11:55 a.m.  Motion passed.

The motion was made (J. Thompson) and seconded (Land) that the Board come out of Executive Session at 1:15 p.m., and the regular session resumed.

It was moved (Land) and seconded (Daniel) to purchase the Jewish Studies Building from the Jewish Studies 501 C.3 Corporation to become a part of the College campus.  All approved.

There being no further business, it was moved (Land) and seconded (J. Thompson) that this meeting of the Board of Trustees be adjourned.

All in favor.  Meeting adjourned at 1:25 p.m.

All in favor.

Finance Committee:

Mr. Miller made the motion on behalf of the Finance Committee that the adjustments to the budget, as presented at Tab III of the Board Booklet, be approved.  All in favor.

Facilities Committee:

The College closed on the acquisition of 84/86 Wentworth Street and 14 A/B St. Philip Street property on April 1, 2002.  The College has completed a feasibility study to consolidate the School of Education in this new facility.  They presently are in six different locations, making operational administration of the school difficult.  The consultants have estimated the project will cost $4,715,960 based on their preliminary study.  The College is asking the Facilities Committee and the Board to approve its proceeding further with the financing, design and construction of the School of Education on the designated Wentworth/St. Philip Street site in accordance with the program and estimated cost determined by the feasibility study.  It was moved  (Marlowe) that the Board accept the recommendation of the Facilities Committee on the construction and design of the School of Education at a cost of $4,715,960.  No second is necessary in this case.  Monica noted that Yo Burrito, the current tenant in the building, has eight years left on their lease.  Andy Abrams is working with Monica to try to find a way for them to vacate the building sooner.  Bobby Marlowe noted that the property is less than 6,000 square feet.  Andy noted that the lease between the College and Yo Burrito was originally with the Beach Company and that the College potentially is responsible for the market value of the lease, as well as the cost of moving (should not be significant).  All were in favor of the College going forward with this project.

Academic Affairs Committee
