3. Communications and Announcements.
   W. Fasse (Associate Provost) made several comments regarding
   enrollment management. He indicated that the campus FTES
   target for AY 2008-09 will be up two and a half percent over this
   year’s target and that applications are up for next year as well.
   Spring 08 enrollment is also above that of last Spring.
4. New Business.

5. Financial Impacts of Recent Legal Decisions.
   The committee had a very wide-ranging discussion of the financial
   impacts of recent legal decisions. Questions were raised regarding
   the line item “Risk Management Pool” within the Centrally
   Monitored Funds category of the campus budget. It was noted that
   there are several different types of risk covered by the system’s risk
   management pool (i.e., loss/damage to university vehicles, theft
   of university property, loss/damage to university buildings, etc.,
   as well as various types of liability) and that we will need a more
   detailed budget breakdown for the line item. W. Fasse provided a
   basic outline of the CSU Liability Coverage Program. Questions
   were also raised regarding possible future increases to the budget
   category in response to the recent legal decisions. It was noted that
   C. Teniente-Matson is the person who might have the answers to
   the committee’s questions; she was out-of-town and thus not able
   to attend today’s University Budget Committee meeting. She will be
   invited to a future meeting of the committee.

MSC to adjourn at 4:15 p.m.
