COMMITTEE REPORTS
After a short recess, the Board resumed at 10:45, in Open Session, to hear reports from the Committee Chairs on the work of their committees. Summaries of Committee activities may be found in the individual Minutes of these Committee meetings over the last month. Exceptions to this are the report sessions of the Wise and Diversity Committees at which Mr. Prior and Mr. Harvey, respectively, spoke; their remarks are summarized below.
All Members present at the Preliminary Session were in attendance, with the addition of Dr. Vaughan.
Mr. Prior spoke briefly to the mission and needs of The University of Virginia’s College at Wise, centering his remarks on the goals of the Wise Committee – which are the goals of the College – agreed to at the Board Retreat in July.
The Board recessed for lunch at 1:00 p.m., and resumed, in Open Session, at 1:55 p.m.
Mr. Harvey spoke to the strengths of the University and to the problems of this fall – “the best of times and the worst of times.” The job of insuring diversity at the University is a job, he said, “for all of us.” Among the strengths that can be built upon is not only the University’s firm commitment to diversity, but the affection and support of the University’s African-American alumni.
