Old Business:

We need to start collecting donations.  Jennifer Berry and Lindsay Meece will be creating some form of puzzle/scavenger hunt again for us this year.

Chancellor’s Report – Ed Wojcicki
1. Enrollment is mixed.  We will have a record number of freshmen this fall; there was an increase in honors students.  We continue to have retention issues.  Ed would like 30 minutes at our next meeting to discuss.  He will also email some data to CSAC members prior to next meeting.
2. The sign for the Student Union will be going up this week.  Design is going well.  Currently raising money to move forward.
3. Public Safety Building.  The design is almost finished.  This should go for bid and possibly start construction in 2015.

HR Report – Laura Alexander
1. HR has hired an extra help person to help with ANCRA compliance.
2. Currently working to get into compliance with new laws for re-hiring retirees.  This will require a lot of tracking and working closely with other universities.

4. Union contract negotiations are beginning.

Treasurer’s Report – Denise Rothenbach
