Comittee monitored progress of the University College (evening degree
program) and supported further development of programs of interest to
adult students seeking degrees.

The major concern of the Committee was the investigation of a new
financial structure for Continuing Education. In December, Herman
Phelps and Jim Smith, at the request of the Committee, met with
representatives of General Administration to discuss financial problems
relating to Continuing Education. It was determined that the problem
should be considered by the UNC Faculty Assembly. A sunmary of the
problems was prepared and presented to the Budget Committee of the
Faculty Assembly. Further discussions with General Administration
representatives by Jim Smith resulted in this item being placed on
the agenda of the Planning and Program Conmittee of the Faculty
Assembly in the fall of 1985. This committee feels the mst pressing
financial problems at this time include: (a) an inadequate faculty
stipend and (b) tuition that is nearly double the on-campus rate.
