THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT
The President gave his customary report to the Board.
The President gave a quick overview of legislation of interest to the University pending in the General Assembly, particularly the charter bills.
The President then reported to the Board that the Virginia Quarterly Review in December was given the Parnassus Award for Significant Editorial Achievement by the Council of Editors of Learned Journals. The Parnassus Award “recognizes a single issue, published within the previous three years, that epitomizes the journal’s mission and at the same time meets the highest standards of editorial practice.” The issue of the Quarterly cited by the Council was the Spring 2004 issue, only the second issue of the magazine produced under the editorship of Mr. Theodore Genoways. The President then introduced Mr. Genoways to the Board.
The President noted the recent death of The Honorable Hunter Andrews, who represented the City of Hampton in the Senate in Richmond for many years. Senator Andrews, who was Chair of the Senate Finance Committee, was a great friend to higher education.
The President also noted the death of Ms. Shirley Menaker, Associate Provost, and the departure of Mr. William Harmon, Senior Vice President, in December to become the President of Central College in the Houston Community College system.
