DISCUSSION
CONCLUSIONS
2007 Elections
Professor Michael Goldstein of the School of Public Health has been nominated for the
Chair-Elect position for 2007-08. Also, the nomination petitions for At-large Executive
Board Memberships are due Friday, April 20.
Non-Resident Tuition (NRT)
President Dynes will donate $10 million to match the Tuition Fellowship of Systemwide for NRT for Graduate Student Support to be distributed throughout the ten UCs. UCLA will need to fund $2 million in matching funds. The source of the match is yet to be determined.
Faculty Salary Increase
President Dynes is looking to find a place in the existing budget to increase faculty salary compensation. He is supportive of the increase, which could be as much as 15%.
Shared Experience Program
UC Merced has been having issues filling their undergraduate vacancies. The Shared
Experience Program will allow students to enroll at UC Merced through the end of their sophomore year and then transfer to their original campus of choice, if they wish, provided they meet the program's academic requirements. According to the L.A. Times.,
UCLA is currently taking part in this program, yet the Senate is unsure of its source of approval. Only the Senate can approve the change to admissions policies. One issue that arises is the fact that students are currently applying to UC Merced based on this option. CAO Balboa will keep the members posted on the situation.
LgA Meeting
Chair Shetty finally reminded members that the next Legislative Assembly meeting will be held on Monday, April 30, 2007 at the Faculty Center. n/a

SCHOOL OF MUSIC PROPOSAL
DISCUSSION
VIVEK SHETTY/
CHRIS WATERMAN
Dean Waterman spoke to the Executive Board members about a proposal to establish a School of Music at UCLA, initiated by the School of the Arts and
Architecture. The School of Music would not be a school in the traditional sense. It will not house curriculum, admit students, etc. However, a new tenured faculty position in UCLA Arts would be created for the director of the School of Music, who would report to the dean of UCLA Arts. A portion of new funds raised for the ‘school’ would be available to the director to further the aspirations of the school. The director would also be involved in interdisciplinary work among the three different departments. The new ‘school’ would consist of three departments: Music and
Ethnomusicology (two of its current departments) as well as musicology (from the
Humanities Division of L&S). According to Dean Waterman, both the Musicology and
Ethnomusicology departments have prospered while the Music department has been

CONCLUSIONS appointed a taskforce to reconsider its curriculum. The planned implementation date is Fall of 2007. Currently, there is a donor who is very interested in funding this school’s formation.
The name has been considered greatly, yet, the Dean has decided upon the universally recognizable “School of Music”. It is common for large programs in music to be called this term. This name will make the UCLA program more visible and competitive with other schools of music and enable the school to seek major private funding.
The Board endorsed the proposal for the formation of a UCLA School of Music.

Proposed Open Access Policy – “UC Faculty Scholarly Work Copyright Rights Policy”
DISCUSSION
In response to a request from the Academic Assembly, Provost and EVP Rory
Hume convened a work group to draft a policy that seeks to strike a balance between the goals of both the publisher and the author in sharing material to advance scholarship. The Executive Board, COR, Library, Academic Freedom, and FECs will be opining on this issue. Due to the timing of the request from Oakland, concurrent reviews are required.
Past Chair Lavine commented that the policy was acceptable, but they need to include an opt-out clause to protect the author’s rights.
Chair Shetty requested that Executive Board members read the policy and email their opinions to him as they will be incorporated in the UCLA response letter to
UCOP.
