  1. Minutes. MSC to approve the Minutes of 3/12/2008.
  2. Agenda. MSC to approve the Agenda as distributed.
  3. Communications and Announcements.
    J. Waayers noted in response to a previous meeting concern over
    international travel that his office would officially notify faculty
    of President Welty’s approval of international travel requests.
    W. Fasse presented a budgetary planning document that noted
    target Full Time Equivalent Students (FTES) for the 2008/2009
    year would be the same as those for the 2007/2008 year. However,
    the document identified changes in FTES distribution among the
    Colleges in order to facilitate individual Colleges meeting their
    FTES targets rather than having over-enrollment in one College
    balance under-enrollment in another. Discussion regarding the
    mechanism through which it was identified as to which Colleges
    would increase and which would decrease in FTES was discussed
    as was FTES involvement in College budgets. Further discussion
    addressed the need to potentially revisit the budget model and
    assess the concept of true cost of delivering a unit of instruction in
    the different colleges.
  4. New Business.
    None.
  5. Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training.
    A brief discussion occurred regarding the fundamentals of the
    current Batchelor in Athletic Training option and the number of
    faculty at CSUF relative to other similar programs. As the request
    involved no new required faculty or facilities; the request is simply
    a change in name and associated changes in catalog copy.
    MSC to waive second reading.
    MSC to approve the program change as presented with the
    standard caveats including a budgetary review in two
    years.
  6. Possible Revisions to the New Budget Model.
    It was noted that the University Budget Committee (UBC) needs to
    act on the previous memo from the Deans regarding (a) the salary
    differential and (b) the proposal to remain at a 1/3 new model and
    2/3 old mode.
    MSC to postpone this discussion until the next UBC
    meeting.

MSC to adjourn at 5:18 p.m.
