List of committee accomplishments including recommendations made to
agencies other than the Faculty Senate,

Committee reviewed the Division of Continuing Education's Annual
Report and goals for 1986/87. It received reports on new continuing
education programs and on activities of the University College program.

Committee was pleased that on-going focus of attention and efforts
regarding the need for a sound financial basis for continuing education
are resulting in further progress. The Budget Committee of the UNC
Faculty Assembly is now studying continuing education program funding on
various campuses with the objective of requesting full funding.

Committee received status update from the chair of the Committee to
Study Extended Campus Library Services, which was the result of a
Continuing Education Committee recommendation in the prior year. A
questionnaire sent to faculty who teach off campus classes will be

analyzed as part of the assessment of library support needs for off-
campus credit courses.

Committee submitted request to Committee on Committees to change
membership and quorum sections of Committee's charge.

Major concern of the Committee was with the need for central
coordination of all non-credit programs and special activities at ECU. A
subcommittee appointed to pursue the issue further prepared a draft which
is ready for review and discussion by the Committee as a whole.

Citation of the resolution numbers of Senate resolutions that originated
with the committee.

None
Proposals and/or business to be carried over to next year.

Committee should follow status of work for a State-supported
