3.   Preparing for Year Round Operations

The committee discussed Year Round Operation plans for the UC Campuses.  UCLA, Santa Barbara and Berkeley will begin a summer quarter this summer 2001.  Other campuses will phase in summer operations over the next few years.  Each campus will determine how to use the new funding provided for summer session (State, Educational Fees and Registration Fees).  The funding received for number of students (say 15,000 in 2005-06) will be for all four quarters (no additional funding for summer).  Various issues were also discussed related to what would need to be offered in the way of student services, academic programs offered, comparisons with other campuses (UC and other non-UC summer sessions) etc.  It was recommended that the current Head of Summer Session be invited to talk to the committee about what services are now offered during the summer versus what  services might be offered in the Year Round (4th Quarter) Summer Program.

 

4.  Discussion of Task Force on Intercampus Summer Enrollment Report

The Draft Recommendations of the Task Force on Intercampus Summer Enrollment included the focus on registration and transfer of credit for UC students enrolling in summer instruction at a non-home UC campus.  Because they have implications for the administrative operations of several offices on each campus, as well as across campuses, each campus was invited to carefully review the recommendations of the Task Force and respond with comments by March 1, 2001.  The recommendations and the UCSC officer responsible for commenting on each recommendation was drafted and distributed.  These responses will be collected by Student Affairs and sent to the Task Force on Intercampus Summer Enrollment.

 

5.  The Shape of the next Major Housing Project (Colleges 11 & 12)

The focus of the discussion was what should the decision making process be for development of the College 11 & 12 Site.  This site was identified in the 1988 LRDP.  The discussion included the development of multiple plans: Traditional College vs. Modified College vs. No College; development of an Ad Hoc Committee; possibility of amending the LRDP; all funding elements for the colleges development investigated; and looking at everything that the colleges might include (examples:  Faculty Housing, Graduate Housing, I & R Space, Administrative Space, life outside the classroom, shopping facilities, etc.).  It was determined that an Ad Hoc Committee should be developed including multiple participants representing various campus units/services/programs (Graduate Studies, Undergraduate Studies, Student Affairs, TAPS, Capital Planning, Housing, etc.).
