stated that a Special Meeting of the Board of Trustees would be held on Friday, May 25,

Academic Senate - Mr. Doug Marston
1. The Senate passed a motion that students will not be dropped for non-payment of fees,
but that a student will not be allowed to receive transcripts or enroll in subsequent terms
until the fees are paid for a two-year time period. The motion recommends that data on
student drop rates be collected by Administration for this period.
2. The Senate has also passed a motion on the proposed 16-week calendar. This motion
was a slight revision of the previous proposal and will be presented to the board today.
President - Dr. Thomas M. Fallo
1. The first Fridays of fall and spring semesters will be days of instruction rather than flex

of Trustees on June 11, 2001. A notice will go out to employees within the next two
days and students will be notified as well. This will not affect the summer schedule.
