Chairman Ruffin thanked the members for their patience following a long day of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
board meetings and other activities and said it had been suggested that the board hold more one-
|
|
|
|
|
|
day meetings to expedite its business. He reminded the members that in February they had been
|
|
|
|
|
mailed information concerning the Joint Select Committee on Higher Education Facilities Needs
|
|
|
|
schedule (Joint Select Committee), but said a more complete schedule was available at each

|
|
|
|
|
board members talked about their participation and the usefulness of these discussions.

presence and commitment meant to the University.
