Curriculum
Old Business:
Given that the Faculty Senate supports an ecological management plan for campus habitats, it
also is proposed that we set aside a large area of this habitat for wildlife, research, teaching,
and recreation as a permanent reserve. Support of the following motion would recommend
that the current draft Master Plan resite proposed athletic fields and the Millennial Campus,
and reduce the impact of Phase II housing, that would further compromise the ecological
value of the wooded habitats now located in this area. To this end, the Building & Grounds
Committee moves that:
The Faculty Senate supports a designation of the ‘UNCW Forest Reserve’ comprising ~200
acres of wooded and wetland habitat now present in the back of campus, to be managed for
its ecology, educational activities, recreation, and other low-impact uses that will maintain
this property as a permanent conservation area.
[Motion 2006-03-08]
Given that the current Master Plan does not call for a reduction in parking on campus, but
rather an increase, and given that we currently have considerable traffic problems on Randall
and Racine with no plan offered to mitigate this problem, the Building & Grounds
Committee moves that:
The Faculty Senate supports a Master Plan that incorporates a change in university parking
policy that promotes a reduction of cars and parking on campus.
