Dr. Meier reported that more students have registered for spring than last year at this time. Student Affairs and instructional staff will begin calling the applicants who have not completed admission. The calling process made a tremendous difference last year. Dr. Meier will provide a weekly enrollment update.

Chet Herbst reported that committee work has been going very well. They are refining their original input and overarching issues.

Governor Kempthorne’s executive order directed agencies and institutions to review their disaster recovery plans. Dean Froehlich reported that the initial assessment of our plan has been completed and a report of that assessment has been submitted to the State Board of Education. Our recommendation is to complete plan revision by January 31. To do so, a task force is being structured to coordinate and possibly merge the multiple plans (communications disaster, business resumption, evacuation, information technology, etc.). Chet Herbst will chair the task force.
