REPORTS BY THE CHANCELLOR OF CLINCH VALLEY COLLEGE (Mr. Lemons)
BACKGROUND: The Clinch Valley College Advisory Council was
created to serve as a local body to advise the College on
various matters. The role of the Advisory Council has evolved
from that of an advisory body to one with an important role
in determining policy.
DISCUSSION: The College recommends that the name of the Advisory
Council be changed to “Clinch Valley College Board.” This
change reflects that body’s more active role in the direction
of the College. The College also recommends that the Advisory
Council Bylaws be revised to grant that body authority to
act on behalf of the Board of Visitors on matters specified
in the Bylaws. A copy of the Bylaws is attached at the end
of this booklet.
ACTION REQUIRED: Approval by the Clinch Valley College Committee
and the Board of Visitors.
APPROVAL OF THE REVISION OF THE CLINCH VALLEY COLLEGE ADVISORY
COUNCIL BYLAWS
WHEREAS, the Clinch Valley College Advisory Council has evolved
from that of an advisory body to one with an important role
in determining policy;
RESOLVED that the name of the Clinch Valley College Advisory
Council be changed to “Clinch Valley College Board”; and
RESOLVED FURTHER that the Advisory Council Bylaws (shown as
an attachment) are amended to provide that body authority to
act on behalf of the Board of Visitors of the University of
Virginia, on matters specifically identified in the Bylaws.
BACKGROUND: During this portion of the meeting, the Chancellor
will report on items of interest to the Board.
DISCUSSION: The Chancellor will provide a brief summary of
issues at Clinch Valley College of which the Board should
be aware, but do not require Board action.
ACTION REQUIRED: None
BACKGROUND: During the Fall of 1997, the Faculty, the Clinch
Valley College Advisory Council, and the Board of Visitors
approved a set of strategic directions for the College. In
the course of deliberations, the Advisory Council requested
an external marketing study to help the College understand
how it might best work towards achieving the strategic directions.
The study identified several problems with the College’s name.
DISCUSSION: At its meeting in May 1998, the Advisory Council
recommended that Clinch Valley College undertake a formal
review of whether or not the College’s name should be changed.
The Chancellor will outline the process to make this determination.
ACTION REQUIRED: None.
BACKGROUND: In January 1998, the Board of Visitors approved
a resolution allowing the Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer to enter into a broadcast license agreement
on behalf of The Rector and Visitors of the University of
Virginia. The Board further approved the operation of a public
radio station by Clinch Valley College. With the announcement
of a gift from the C. Bascom Slemp Foundation, the College
has been able to meet the matching funds requirements of its
Federal Grant, which will be used to purchase equipment. The
radio station has been awarded the call letters “WCVC.”
DISCUSSION: The Chancellor will report on the status of WCVC,
the schedule for its activation, and the resources required
for annual operations.
ACTION REQUIRED: None.
BACKGROUND: Upon the recommendation of the Advisory Council,
Clinch Valley College has established an Architectural Design
Guidelines Committee. The committee has the charge of developing
architectural guidelines that will direct the appearance of
all current and future construction projects at the College.
DISCUSSION: The Chancellor will report on the status of the
work of the Architectural Design Guidelines Committee.
ACTION REQUIRED: None.
