3. Cherie Nelson talked about the "Higher Education Academy" and handed out the curriculum
with the calendar. She is in need of participants for the pilot program. The cost will be picked up by the institution. In the future the cost could be around $150-$200 for each participant. The pilot program will take place in April, May and June. In the future the academy will probably take place once or twice a semester.

4. David Eisler gave a Legislative update. The good news is that there will be no new 2% cut.
The Davis campus was only funded for ½ of the O&M needed. The funding for the Swenson Gym was not allocated, however next year looks good. Medical & dental benefits were funded at 8% with the actual looking like it will be somewhere between 12% and 14%. A long and lengthy discussion followed on salary increases.

5. A question was asked about whether or not the UHESA letter was sent out or not. Nobody had the answer.

Moved to adjourn meeting:
Nancy motioned, Cindy seconded.
