Guest Speakers –
a.
Chancellor Leavitt - Chancellor study groups members brought forward,
retirement incentive plan eligible to apply if 50 or over, in the next three years 80
to 100 positions will be eliminated. Regret having to eliminate Soccer and Men’s
Tennis after next season but Darryl Sims mentioned this in the 2010 athletic
report. How long those incentives will be in place just this year? Make a decision
April 30th remain employed; retire on December 31st save a lot of money by doing
this, older retiring assist professor at a lower rate, not being in academic staff.
Parson – decision making what role will we play in order to prevent this from
happening? That only Chancellor and Mr. Sims, did visit with this body that we
would be reducing the number of sports, athletic council, and wanted to keep the
culture kept it close to the vest devastate a group did we want to put all athletes
through this process would still have this outcry simply not fair. Katrina open
forum, fund raising done and Mr. Sims said no. Do not have men’s golf to
eliminate men’s golf alumni fund raising happened for one year and may not
continue. 2010 Athletic Dept report to come down to 16 decision that we made
that we are standing by. Two documents 2010 and 2014 these two documents
open and transparent put those out, asked the club and orgs if they wanted? Yes,
will be placed on OSA site by noon tomorrow.
