MILLENNIAL INITIATIVE CONCEPT PLAN
Dr. Bardo explained that when Erskine Bowles came to visit in the fall, he was interested
in the Millennial Campus Initiative. It is hoped that the plan can be submitted to
the Board of Governors for approval at its May meeting.
Discussion of the Plan followed. It was stated that our mission statement has not yet caught up with the Plan. Dr. Bardo explained that we are in the cycle of revising the mission statement to match this plan. The plan as proposed includes several existing facilities. It will give approval to move forward with an increase in powers to the Board of Trustees. Mr. Burgin moved that the Board approve the Millennial Initiative Concept Plan as presented. Mrs. Burda seconded the motion, and it was approved unanimously. Mrs. Hyde stated that this plan has enormous impact for the future.
