Reacting to a suggestion by Mr. Warthen that the Board meet more
often, several Members said they were opposed to the idea; after
some discussion, in which Dr. Caravati and others suggested that
the problem was one of not enough unstructured time for discussion
at existing meetings, it was decided to discuss this at the next
Board Retreat. Mr. Warthen also suggested that the Board meet
at Monticello; the Rector said he would take this up with the
authorities at Monticello.
Finally, the Rector and other Members thanked Mr. Allen, the outgoing
Student Member, for his valuable service to the Board and to the
University.
