Very good enrollment for the coming year
Advancement - campaign still doing well. Fall of 2016 will
officially launch campaign. Halfway through the goal at this
point.
April 24th, Wolf met with leadership to share vision and
priorities.
Campaign priorities are done for each of the academic units.
these nest underneath the UWB as a whole
5 more years of campaign to come
Legislative budget - pending agreement for transport plan.
Looks like UWB might get more transit

Reasons for the increase in the revenue is attributable
to growth in FTE’s
o State will support faculty raises
o Must reduce budget by 375,000 to balance the budget
o VC’s will need to work with identifying areas to cut
o Will then be presented to the EC, posted for campus
wide-comments (early next week), and then the
chancellor approves.
o Reserves are available to offset increase in students’
wages for moving them up to $11 per hour.
James/Brittany will follow up with Sagan and Ana
o RFP Update - RFI Issues, several vendors came back.
o being held up by negotiations with CPO,
planning/budgeting, and Treasury
o This will be coupled with the housing. can’t have one
without the other
o potential coming to campus by 17 or 18
Student Code Update
o FAB, Student conduct board
o UWB will have 1 rep on the conduct board
o Chancellor Designee, clearer definitions
o More timely hearings
Drill happening the week of the 18th, will this affect events
we may have?

 Final votes on student office furniture
 Option 2B is decided
 1st Floor Public Space
o everything flexible
o some indoor/outdoor
o in gaming room remove liability chairs and replace with
cubes
 2nd Floor Public Space
o vendor is determining how much space will be needed to
store all furniture shown on diagram
o provide feedback to Kaitlin
UWB students asking to designate some of the small alcove space to
be used as private reflection space for students
 students are concerned there is not enough space available
already on campus
o feel trying to put too much into this space
o this is a student building, this option would respect the
concerns of some students
o UWB students will not always feel comfortable using
Cascadia's room
o concerned based on already being told not meeting
student needs that this needs to be available
o idea of building to be a convergence of both students,
this would accommodate what students on both
campuses are looking for
 Operationally, what can we do?
o alcove space may be a challenge based on adjacency to
programming space
o unless assigned for a specific time as
silent/quiet/reflection
 requesting of either an alcove or a meeting room
o repurposing of the meeting room may be best option to
meet needs
 specific times designated for purpose
o based on needs of students, it may not be able to be a
flexible space
 cleaning needs
 furniture movement
 would like to go back to other student groups and ask their
opinion
 would like to keep the space flexible, give it a shot for a time
and see what students see
 topic will be revisited next week so students can talk with their
groups
