 away on this project over the next week or two.  (Just for you,
> Scott!)
> 
> 7.  North Central:  Profs. Hines, Kerr, and D. Sutherland will make a
> presentation at our February faculty meeting.  Reminder:  NC will be
> on-campus in March, 2009!  The heat is on for getting your assessment
> documents in good order.
> 
> 8.  Futures Discussion:  On the completion of our main agenda items, the
> COAP entered into a discussion with the President on a wide range of issues.
> 
> The hiring of a new soccer coach (you've seen this already via e-mail and
> press releases).
> 
> WAC Community memberships now stand at 65-70 families.  The cap is 200, and
> we may reach 100 by the end of the year.  For the most part community use is
> not conflicting too much with on-campus demand, except with respect to
> in-door cycling and some fitness classes.  Additional bikes may be acquired.
> For the present, the policy of charging retired faculty a reduced fee for
> the WAC stands as is, although the issue may be revisited again in August
> when the WAC's fee structure is considered.
> 
> The recent additions of Lawrence Finn (The Village LLC and Construction) and
> Larry Woodard (Development) were announced.  You have received e-mails with
> details.  If faculty are interested in living in the Village, Scott
> Schallhorn now has has plans available to look at.  Also, by the summer of
> 2009, it is hoped that two buildings in Phase I of the Village will be
> complete.  These buildings will house up to 140 students in flats above
> retail space.
> 
> Arts & Sciences Report:  There will be no rush to implement any
> recommendations.  The college, including the COAP and other relevant groups,
> will spend a year or so in carefully appraising it.  Items such as fee
> restructuring need very careful consideration and the college needs to
> complete and absorb the current capital campaign before launching into new
> ventures.
> 
> Enrollment:  Current applications stand at 1350, which is a 25% increase on
> last year.  This COULD translate into 400 plus freshers!  Obviously if this
> scenario transpires, we'll have some serious work to do getting ready for
> the consequences.  No discussion was engaged in at this point.

> As usual, feel free to contact any member of the COAP if you questions and
