TENTATIVE MINUTES
SUBJECT TO THE
APPROVAL OF THE
BOARD OF VISITORS
July 13, 2002

The Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia recessed its Annual Retreat, briefly, to meet as the full Board to consider several proposed resolutions. This was done between 1:15 and 1:20 p.m., in Open Session, on Saturday, July 13, 2002, at Upper Brandon in Prince George County.

The Rector, Mr. Ackerly, presided over the business session. All Members of the Board were present: Mesdames Holland and Twohy, and Messrs. Bliley, Crutchfield, Farrell, Glazer, Goodwin, Greer, Kington, Pippin, Rainey, Ross, Saunders, Thompson, Vaughan and Lovelace.

Also present were the President, Mr. Casteen, as well as Messrs. Sandridge, Gilliam and Forch, and Mesdames Cronin and Bailes.

Mr. Sandridge, the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, told the Board that all proposals for legislation must be sent to Richmond in September, which is before the next scheduled meeting of the full Board; it was for this reason that the proposed legislation was being submitted to the Board for approval as an adjunct to the Retreat.

The first of the resolutions was a proposed change to the relevant section of the Code of Virginia to create a provision that "deems" the Medical Center to be a licensed hospital; such a designation would give the Medical Center the privileges, immunities, benefits and rights afforded licensed hospitals under the law. Under the Code the Medical Center currently is exempt from state licensure and the proposed change would in no way affect this exemption.

On motion, the Board approved the following resolution.
