III. Old Business:

The UNC Tomorrow Report was discussed. Specifically, the response phase plan timeline was discussed, especially the areas related to the Faculty Governance Committee’s charge. One of those issues was enrollment growth. The proposed Faculty Governance Committee Report on the UNC Tomorrow was approved after some minor revisions.

Respectfully submitted,
