RS ; As a point of personal privilege, Vice Chancellor Elmer Meyer read a letter written -by the parent of a freshman student: “Both my husband (a Carolina graduate) and I (Greensboro College) have been delighted with the interest of the professors our daughter had this semester. With the size of the freshman class, I did not feel Beth would have any personal contact with the teachers--but they all seemed to make a real effort to help freshmen--rather than trying to see how many they could flunk out of school. I think she will have better first semester grades than her high school grades! I know this is due in part to her excellent background at Ravenscroft, and that she has worked hard and not cut class, but I want to give ECU their share of the credit, too. I realize you did not ask for this, but wanted to say it to someone. Perhaps you could pass it on to the proper person. Thank you for the good job you are doing with our young people." Agenda Item 38: Acting Chancellor John Howell Dr. Howell referred to Administrative Memorandum Number 163 which provides instructions and guidelines for the next revision of the long-range plan of the University of North Carolina. The revision is to be completed during the 1982-83 academic year for the period 1982-1987. Dr. Howell addressed several specific points: (a) Consent Decree: East Carolina University is one of the institutions that has failen behind in its commitment to a black enrollment of 13.6% by 1986. Faculty members were encouraged to talk to prospective students and let them know that financial aid is available. (b) Regulation of Political Activities: Candidacy for or Membership in the General Assembly: The Committee on University Governance issued a statement: "If a University employee is elected to membership in the General Assembly, that person will be required either to seek and be granted a full two-year leave of absence, coextensive with the period of officeholding, or resign his or her University employment." (c) Tenure Policy: President Friday has recommended holding changes in tenure policies until the Board of Governors looks at the current regulations. “aS -> Agenda Item 3C: Report from Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Mr. Cliften Moore provided Senators with a copy of the academic budget of East Carolina University for 1981/82. He noted that when the Legislature adjourns, the Executive Budget Act provides that the Governor controls the budget. Funds are requested for each three-month period of the year. For the current quarter, the University budget was cut by 600 thousand dollars. Moore explained that University officials were told that the 5 percent inerease which became effective January 1 for both SPA and EPA employees is in jeopardy unless the Legislature can come up with 200 million dollars between now and Jue 30. He added, however, that 88 million dollars of the 200 million "was in sight." In order to come up with the remaining 112 million dollars, funds are being cut. Moore, in pointing out some difficulties encountered in the budget process, noted that the Legislature included the following restriction in the Appropriations Act: "Institutions may not transfer from any object line more than 10 percent of that ‘line during the year." He reminded Senators that the current budget was forecast in the fall of 1980 and that the base year for this budget was 19781979. {See attachments. for complete budget figures.)
