STATE COUNCIL OF HIGHER EDUCATION

Mr. William H. McFarlane, Director, State Council of Higher Education, appeared before the Board
to discuss the study of higher education in Virginia which the Council was to launch later this year.
The purpose of the study was to develop a coordinated program for the development of higher education
in Virginia. Mr. McFarlane pointed out that the Council was charged by statute with the preparation of
such a plan and that the Council felt that the institutions concerned should participate in the study.
He accordingly requested that the Board, (1) authorize the President to serve on an advisory committee
to the State Council of Higher Education in the development and conduct of the study and, (2) that the
Board select one of its members to serve on the committee along with the President.

After discussion, the following resolution was adopted

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia that
the Rector be and he is hereby empowered to select one member of the Board of Visitors to serve with
the President on an advisory committee to the State Council of Higher Education in a study of the
coordination of higher education in Virginia.
