3. Motion from the Admissions Committee (P. Strauss)

MOVED THAT THE MEMBERSHIP SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE ADMISSIONS COMMITTEE BE AMENDED TO INCLUDE ONE (1)
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION.

Comment: The Admissions Committee wishes to address the serious issue of declining enrollment of new students by considering and, where appropriate, recommending the implementation of new strategies for student recruitment. An important element in this "reaching out" will be an expanded role for Oakland alumni. To maintain close communication with alumni, the Committee wishes to include a representative of the Alumni Association among its membership. As with other groups (e.g. students, Administrative-Professionals), the appointment would be made by the Association for the same term as other members of the Committee.

First Reading: Debatable, amendable but not eligible for final vote at this meeting.

C. Good and Welfare: Private Resolutions

D. Information Items:

1. Annual Report for 1979-80 of UCUI (see attachment).

2. Report (attached) of the ad hoc Committee on Cable Television Representatives of the Committee (J. Scherer, Chair) will be prepared to make a 20-minute presentation to the Senate on this important topic, following which discussion and a question/answer period will be held.
