APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF MEETING OF THE BOARD OF VISITORS, ON MAY
13-15, 1999, AND JULY 23-24, 1999
On
motion, the Minutes of the Board meetings of May 14-15, and July
23-24, were approved.
The
Rector introduced The Honorable Wilbert Bryant, Secretary of Education
of the Commonwealth. Secretary Bryant, who did not address the Board,
stayed for the morning session of the Board meeting.
Mr.
Robertson, in his capacity as a member of the Governorís Blue Ribbon
Commission on Education, reported briefly on the work of the Commission.
The Commissionís final report is due in February and the Commission
should finish its work in March.
The
President gave a brief report on several matters. He remarked that
the athletic programs at the University would receive stronger academic
support than they have now. He also spoke of the need to strengthen
the Universityís Intramural programs. He told the Board of recent
discussions about the possibility of building a new arena in the
center of Charlottesville. These discussions - with the potential
developer and with the City - he said have gone as far as they can
for the moment; the University appears to be the only major source
of funds for the project. The problem now is to find a major donor
or donors.
The
President said the firm Korn-Ferry has been engaged to help in the
search for a new Vice President for Information Technologies and
Communication. Dr. Reynolds, the Interim Vice President, the President
said is doing a fine job.
The
Board at this meeting, the President pointed out, will begin discussion
of how the University is to develop from the beginning of the new
century. In addition to the four planning commissions already in
place and at work, he said he envisions a fifth commission which,
among other charges, will work on how to implement the recommendations
of the present four commissions.
The
Rector invited comments from Members after the meeting on whether
the schedule of this meeting - Friday morning through midday Saturday
- is satisfactory or whether the Board should return to its recent
schedule of Thursday afternoon through midday Saturday. He also
suggested that the Retreat next summer be held once more at Upper
Brandon in Prince George County and in July, unless a meeting that
month conflicts with Members' plans.
The
Board resumed its meeting as a full Board at 1:50 p.m., in Open
Session. All Members present for the morning session were in attendance,
with the addition of William H. Goodwin, Jr.

GIFTS, GRANTS, AND CONTRACTS
The
President reported on gifts and grants; his report essentially was
a summary of giving during the fiscal year which ended on June 30th.
Private giving during that year came to $122.2m and the total raised
in the Campaign by June 30th was $946.9b. The President noted that
the $1b Campaign goal probably will be reached around the beginning
of 2000. The Report was accepted by the Board.
STATEMENT BY THE RECTOR
The
Rector read the following statement, adopted by the Board by resolution:
The
Board of Visitors unanimously endorses the University's continuing
commitment to recruiting and enrolling students of diverse talents
and backgrounds. It also supports the changes made by the President
in the University's undergraduate admission system. The admission
system considers each applicant on the basis of his or her merits,
in an equitable manner, and in accordance with law.
Every
student admitted under our policies is qualified to attend. Each
one deserves the finest education we can offer. By any measure,
the University boasts one of the strongest student bodies in American
higher education. Its students graduate on-time and on-track at
higher rates than those at all but a handful of institutions. The
academic successes of its African-American and other minority students
are the envy of every major university. The system works. We are
prepared to defend it.
Cultivating
diversity within the University community takes commitment, but
brings indisputable benefits. The Board and the administration consider
maintaining diversity a top priority now and in the years to come.
