The Council on University Planning and Budgets was presented with three different proposals to change the composition of the council at Friday’s meeting.

The CUPB composition subcommittee developed three different approaches for reorganizing CUPB based on campus constituencies and employees in the president and vice presidents’ areas.

CUPB Chair Pat Fewell asked that the subcommittee present the proposals and that the members withhold discussion until they vote for a proposal at January’s meeting.

“It will give you an opportunity to talk to your constituency,” Fewell said.

Chris McCormick, CUPB composition subcommittee member, said all the approaches can still be discussed and modified.

“Whatever proposal looks the best, there may be plenty of items still to discuss,” she said. “These exact numbers aren’t written in stone,” she said of the proposals.

There are 37 members of CUPB. The proposed number of members ranges from 19 to 23.

Also at the meeting, CUPB member David Radavich gave an update on the progress of the Presidential Search Advisory Committee.

“We’re trying to get as many qualified candidates as we can,” he said.

He also explained the Web site on Eastern’s homepage is where the community as well as perspective presidents can find more information about the search.

Radavich said the committee hopes to narrow candidates down to the top 15 at the next PSAC meeting.

“We plan to meet on Jan. 31 to whittle down the ones that are suited to the university,” he said.

Also at the meeting, Fewell announced that a subcommittee led by Mary Anne Hanner will begin revising the University Vision statement. This is different from the university’s Mission Statement.

The next CUPB meeting will take place Jan. 19.
