CAP status for gen ed freshmen
reduces risk of admission delays
Campus administrators are planning to use the Capital Scholars
New Program Request, or the CAP NEPR, to admit the proposed
group of general education undergraduates because it is
uncertain whether a new NEPR authorizing UIS to admit freshmen
without a CAP designation could have passed the Illinois Board
of Higher Education without a significant delay.
In
an e-mail sent to The Journal on Monday, UIS Chancellor Richard
Ringeisen said that the university is not pursuing a new NEPR
because such action would not be necessary for the expansion of
the lower division. Using the CAP NEPR to admit the general
education freshmen would allow the campus to meet its goal to
begin enrolling these students in fall 2006, he said.

END GAME: ADAMS MOVING ON
Embattled athletic director sees greener pastures in
Maryland
Oh Maryland, my
Maryland! Eight months after being
reassigned and five months after being reinstated, UIS Athletic
Director Nick Adams will be leaving UIS to become the assistant
athletic director at the University of Maryland.
Adams’ final day on the
job at UIS will be on November 11th, and he will
start at Maryland on November 15th, well before
December 31st, which is when his current contract
will be allowed to expire.
The chief job for Adams
will be the marketing of Maryland athletics which involves
everything from promotions to ticket sales.
The move east is viewed
by Adams to be a positive career move for him and his family.
“The move is pretty incredible; I’m excited about it...to see
more students rushing the field after Maryland defeated Florida
State than I have seen in attendance at any previous institution
I’ve been associated with is pretty powerful.”
