COMMITTEE ON EDUCATIONAL POLICY

The President recalled to the Board's attention some previous discussions that had been held
concerning the standing committee structure of the Board. He noted that the present standing
committee structure consisted of the following: (1) Executive Committee, (2) Finance Committee,
(3) Buildings and Grounds Committee, (4) Mary Washington College Committee, (5) Medical Committee, and (6) Athletics
Committee. He stated he had come to the conclusion that an additional committee was needed which
would concern itself with educational policy in all divisions of the University including those
at Charlottesville and elsewhere. Such a committee would, in his opinion, be most helpful in
reviewing present educational policies and in considering future changes in that policy, including
the establishment of new and the alteration of existing programs.

After discussion, the following resolution was adopted

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia
that, effective 1 October 1962, there is hereby established a standing committee of the Board to be
known as the Committee on Educational Policy.
