report. Professor May reported on the challenges facing the Amherst campus in the midst of the

Chair Fey then called on Daniel Georgianna, President, Faculty Federation, UMASS
Dartmouth for a report. Mr. Georgianna reported on the challenges facing the Dartmouth
campus with the implementation of the Early Retirement Program.

The next item on the agenda was the President's Report. President Bulger first thanked
Professor May and Mr. Georgianna for their reports. He expressed his gratitude to Chancellor
MacCormack and her staff for their hospitality.

President Bulger commended the Dartmouth campus for the outstanding work it is doing
throughout the southeastern region. The campus is on the move. The Marine Sciences
Laboratory, the Advanced Technology Manufacturing Center, and the New Bedford Performing
and Visual Arts Center are all evidence of the campus' growing importance to southeastern
Massachusetts. UMASS Dartmouth is a shining example of the important role that a University
can play in a regional economy. If southeastern Massachusetts is to become a full partner in the
innovation economy of the Commonwealth, UMASS Dartmouth must continue its momentum.

President Bulger then reported on other collaborative efforts throughout the system. He
reported on the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Biomedical Engineering and Biotechnology.
Graduates will receive a joint degree from the Boston, Dartmouth, Lowell and Worcester
campuses. The program will position the University and its graduates to play leading roles in the
development of industries that are critical to the future of Massachusetts. The Board will be
asked to approve the University's second intercampus program. President Bulger thanked the
campuses and the President's Office staff for their leadership on the program.

President Bulger reported that UMassOnline recently launched an advertising campaign that
generated a record number of visits to its web site. He reported that the University's enrollment
and admissions working group meets regularly to find new ways to recruit students.

President Bulger reported that the five campuses recently signed an agreement with the
United States Navy laboratories in California. The agreement, which resulted from the
leadership of Dr. Paul Kostecki of the Amherst campus, enables the University and the Navy to
share with research and teaching expertise in the fields of marine and environmental sciences,
engineering, and public health. It creates tremendous and meaningful learning opportunities for
the students and the faculty. President Bulger noted that creative, meaningful, and tactful
collaboration continues to be a top goal of the University.

Before asking the Board for their vote, Chair Fey reported on the process that led up

with identifying and recruiting potential leaders for the Amherst campus. He suggested
that the next Chancellor have the ability to articulate goals, administer complex
organization and collaborate with the President and other Chancellors.

Following the initial meeting, the Search Committee chose Isaacson Miller as its
search firm. In September, Chancellor Lazare presented the findings of a report on the
Amherst campus - this provided the Search Committee with information about the
challenges and opportunities the next Chancellor will face.

The Search Committee narrowed the filed of high-quality applications that were
received to eight candidates. From the eight candidates, the Committee presented the
three unranked finalists to President Bulger.

The first item for action on the agenda was Minutes of the Previous Meeting of the Board.

It was moved, seconded and

VOTED: To approve the minutes of the February 6, 2002 meeting of the Board.

Under the Chair's Report, Chair Fey began by introducing the new Trustees to the Board:
Mr. Dennis Austin, Director, State Government Relations for Raytheon Company in Lexington;
Mr. Lawrence Boyle, Senior Partner of Morrison, Mahoney and Miller in Boston; and Mr. James
Karam, President of First Bristol Corporation in Fall River, and co-owner of WSAR and WHTB
radio stations, serving the Massachusetts south coast region.

Chair Fey introduced Trustee Lennes to give the Student Trustee Report, UMASS
Worcester. Trustee Lennes began her report by welcoming the Board to the Worcester campus.

Board of Trustees
May 1, 2002

She reported on student concerns around the budget crisis and the school/hospital relationship.
Trustee Lennes reported on the campus' 5 th place ranking as one of the best medical schools in
the nation by U.S. News and World Report. She reported that most of the student body is
positioned for service in the healthcare system throughout the Commonwealth. Trustee Lennes
concluded her report by reciting the class oath. The oath states the goals for medical students to
become positive members of the healthcare community.

Chair Fey then called on Ferd Wulkan, SEIU Local 509. In the absence of Mr. Wulkan,
Justin Cobb reported to the Board. Mr. Cobb reported on the "Save UMASS" campaign. He
then reported on status of the Resident Assistants on the Amherst campus.

Chair Fey then called on Dr. Sandy Marks, UMASS Worcester. Dr. Marks highlighted the
concerns of faculty with the proposal of the new Tenure Definition Policy.

Chair Fey then announced that President Bulger was going to be a guest on CNN's Inside
Politics program hosted by Judy Woodruff later in the afternoon. She indicated that President
Bulger, along with Nan Keohane, President of Duke University, would be talking about the
future of higher education.

The next item on the agenda was the President's Report. President Bulger began by
welcoming the new Trustees. He reported that the Worcester campus, had again, been honored
as one of the very best medical schools in the nation by U.S. News and World Report. It is
ranked 5th among 125 medical schools in the increasingly competitive "Primary Care" schools
category, and number one on the East Coast. President Bulger expressed his gratitude to
Chancellor Lazare, faculty, staff, and the students for making the Medical School stand out as a
prime example of an excellent education at the University.

President Bulger updated the Board on the state budget issue. The University's appropriation
was reduced last week by 5.6% or $26 million by the House Ways and Means Committee. He
expressed his gratitude to Speaker Finneran and the House Ways and Means Committee for
having completed one of the most difficult tasks required of public leaders.

President Bulger reported that the University will participate in the beginning stages of the
budget process by continuing to make a compelling, factual case to the Legislature and the
citizens of the Commonwealth that every public dollar invested in the University generates a
priceless return for Massachusetts. The University will continue to argue that the promise of
educational opportunity made in the 1993 Education Reform Act should be an assurance of
opportunity at the higher education level. Otherwise, the value of the billions of dollars spent on
K-12 education will fade quickly.

President Bulger provided the Board with copies of an article entitled, "From the Field: The
Knowledge Sector in Massachusetts." The article, skillfully researched and written by Professor

Board of Trustees

Robert Nakosteen of the Amherst campus and Dr. Michael Goodman of the Donahue Institute,
will be published this week in the University's economic journal, Massachusetts Benchmarks.
The article is accompanied by an analysis written by Professor Ralph Whitehead of the Amherst
campus on the impact of the 4-year degree on the earnings of Massachusetts' citizens.

President Bulger thanked the members of the Board for advocating on behalf of the
University. Their leadership has been essential and effective in spreading the message about the
value of the University to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

President Bulger then thanked Chancellor Williams and expressed his gratitude for the work
she has done since taking over the leadership of the Amherst campus on July 1, 2001.
Chancellor Williams has been steadfast in her determination to maintain high standards, always
displaying a confident spirit in the face of adversity.

President Bulger reported that Robert Marcum, Athletic Director for the Amherst, campus is
announcing his retirement. For nearly a decade, Mr. Marcum has been able to achieve
"excellence." Under his distinguished, careful leadership, the UMASS Amherst Division 1
athletic program has achieved excellence on the playing fields, and its student-athletes have
performed with distinction in the classroom. The UMASS Amherst athletic program has been
* recognized as a national leader when it comes to placing female athletes on a level playing field

with their male counterparts, and the program has won numerous plaudits with respect to the
academic performance of its dedicated athletes. Mr. Marcum leaves behind an athletic program
that U.S. News and World Report has described as being one of the 20 best in the nation. Mr.
Marcum' s accomplishment will be honored through the University's commitment to continued
excellence.

On behalf of the Board, Chair Fey expressed gratitude to Chancellor Williams for an
outstanding job. She then introduced a resolution to honor Chancellor Williams' contribution to
the University.

VOTED: To approve the minutes of the April 17 and May 1, 2002 meetings of the Board.

Under the Chair's Report Chair Fey thanked Chancellor Hogan for his hospitality. She

to University business.

Chair Fey commended President Bulger for his position during the recent budget process.
Also of note was the success of the Alumni Evening at the Pops this past June. Some of the
highlights included the honoring of Lowell alumnus, Roy Zuckerberg, the presence of UMASS

Board of Trustees
August 7, 2002

students at the event, the performance by the Boston Pops, the President's recitation of the
Gettysburgh Address and House Speaker Thomas Finneran addressing the pre-concert reception.

Chair Fey then introduced the new student Trustees: William Powers, UMASS Amherst,
Heather Dawood, UMASS Boston, Rosalyn Lankowski, UMASS Lowell. An election for a new
student trustee from the Dartmouth campus is scheduled for the fall. Trustee DeFaria from the
Worcester campus was absent.

Chair Fey then read a statement from President Bulger which included a welcome to the new
student Trustees and a nod to the Lowell campus for their track record of success in facing
current challenges. Chancellor Hogan, the faculty, staff and students deserve praise for
transforming the Lowell campus over the past several years.

Also included in President Bulger's report was a mention of the disappointment felt by
people at the University affected by the recession that has enveloped the Commonwealth. He
pointed out the ways the Legislature and the Governor have helped: funding the Commonwealth
Honors College in Amherst, the Advanced Technology Manufacturing Center in Fall River, the
Star Visual Arts Store in New Bedford, the Toxic Use Reduction Institute in Lowell and the $2
million for endowed chair matching funds.

The report continued with the news that the Legislature has sent a capital improvement bill to
the Governor that includes $77 million for the University that will help make critical investments
on the University's facilities. The University is on stable financial ground with help from the
campuses, the Chancellors, the Board members and the Governor and Legislature.

Chair Fey introduced Trustee Lankowski to give the Student Trustee Report, UMASS
Lowell. Trustee Lankowski reported on the many reasons for attending the Lowell campus. The
staff loves what they are doing and there is a sense of belonging. Despite the problems due to
the budget crisis, the students continue to receive support from the staff and Chancellor Hogan.

Chair Fey then introduced three speakers that had asked to address the Board concerning
contract issues: Tony Koumantzelis, UMASS Lowell, Diane Dujon, UMASS Boston and Daniel
Georgianna, UMASS Dartmouth. At issue was the Legislature's failure to override a veto by the
Governor for UMASS contracts, which would have given employees raises ranging from 2.5 to 5
percent.

Professor Georgianna discussed the recent Boston Globe article attacking Professor Ronald
Story from the Amherst campus and asked that President Bulger and the Board members support
Professor Story.

Chair Fey thanked the speakers for their remarks.

transfer to UMASS and why, their majors, did they work while attending the University, why did
they chose UMASS for their education and what are the biggest challenges they face while
working toward their degrees.

Trustee White reported that it was an interesting discussion and the students proved
themselves to be an impressive group of speakers.

The next item was Chair, Department of Anesthesiology, UMASS Worcester.

Responding to a question about why this action was necessary, General Counsel O'Malley
responded that a search would take many months and the position recently vacated should be

Trustee Mahoney continued by noting the need to become increasingly aggressive and
creative in the way the University raises money in the coming years. Currently, we are planning

Governance Committee

Report.

members of the Governance Committee had lengthy discussions regarding Vice Chairs. It was
determined that it would be inconsistent with the notion of unlimited terms to create a succession
plan from Vice Chair to Chair because of the unlimited term of the office for Chair. A vice
chairmanship that serves in an ambassadorial role is more desirable and helpful to the Chair.

The Committee also agreed that there should be a process for identifying interests of
Trustees. There is a great deal of talent on the Board and there should be an effort to explore
ways to determine models that would improve the performance of the Board.

It was moved, seconded and

Board of Trustees
August 7, 2002

VOTED: To confirm and approve the Officers and Committee Chairs of the Board of
Trustees set forth in Doc. T02-042, all to serve until the next annual meeting of
the Board.

The next item was Amendments to the University of Massachusetts Purchasing Policy
and Land and Facilities Use Planning Policy. General Counsel O'Malley reported that the
FY2003 state budget, Chapter 184 of the Acts of 2002, Line Item 7000-0200, granted the
University the authority to enter into leases of real property without prior approval of the
Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAM). The proposed vote would
bring the existing University policies in line with this new authorization in a manner that would
allow the University to take advantage of the flexibility it offers.

General Counsel O'Malley also noted that long-term leases would still require Board
approval. It was moved, seconded and

VOTED: Pursuant to the authority of Chapter 184 of the Acts of 2002 to amend the
University of Massachusetts Purchasing Policy, Doc. T92-031, Appendix A, as
revised, in Section IV, under Delegation of Purchasing Authority, by striking
from subsection (c) the following language: - with specific Board of Trustees and
the Division of Capital Planning and Operations (DCPO) approval.

And further.

To amend the University of Massachusetts Land and Facilities Use Planning
Policy, Doc. T93-122, as amended,

(1) by striking the second paragraph under DISPOSITION OF REAL
PROPERTY and inserting in place thereof the following:

When a proposed use involves a long-term lease or transfer of land to a non-
University person or organization, final review and approval by the President and
Board of Trustees is required in addition to the necessary campus approvals. The
President may approve short-term leases of five years or less;

(2) by inserting before the word "lease" in the first line of the third paragraph the
following: - long term;

and (3) by striking from the fourth paragraph the words, "long-term lease or", and
replacing the terms Division of Capital Planning and Operations or DCPO
wherever they appear with Division of Capital Asset Management and
Maintenance or DCAM, respectively.

Board of Trustees
November 6, 2002

Chair Fey announced the reactivation of the Adopt A Campus program. The program is
designed to give Board members an up-close and personal view of the University's campuses.
Chair Fey announced that a letter providing further details and Trustee campus assignments will
be sent out in the near future.

Chair Fey introduced Trustee Powers who gave the Student Trustee Report, UMASS
Amherst. Trustee Powers began by welcoming the Trustees to the campus. He reported that the
Trustees have the privilege and responsibility of providing an excellent and affordable higher
education to the Commonwealth. As a whole, the Board looks to visit the future of the
University and to improve the excellence it adds to the Commonwealth. Trustee Powers
challenged the Board to make change and progress in the operations of the University to better
serve the students and the Commonwealth.

He continued by reporting on a number of academic issues.

• student academic needs;

• PeopleSoft system;

• campus safety;

• regulation of student fees;

• adequate funding of programs.

Trustee Powers then thanked the Trustees for the opportunity to serve on the Board.

Chair Fey announced that three speakers would address the Board concerning contract issues.
She introduced Professor Story, President of the Massachusetts Society of Professors.

Professor Story thanked Chair Fey for allowing the speakers to present petitions from across
the UMASS System to President Bulger. The multi-campus petitions have been signed by
thousands of UMASS employees, students, and friends urging President Bulger to join in the
effort to persuade Speaker Finneran to permit a vote to override Governor Swift's veto of the
previously approved raises. Professor Story reported that within the UMASS community
"bitterness, anger, frustration, and demoralization have been made worse by the sense that our
own institutional leaders have failed to act on our behalf."

Ms. Johnson, President, USA/MTA called on the Trustees to work with the campuses to
develop ways to address the crisis of a shrinking workforce and escalating demands on staff.
She indicated the two important ways to help are funding the contracts and back-filling positions
lost to retirement. She reported on the University's responsibility to make UMASS the best
institution in the state, to provide adequate resources for students, faculty and staff, and to fight
for the contracts.

Board of Trustees
November 6, 2002

Mr. Coish, President, Local 509, SEIU reported on the low morale of the campuses due to the
current economic crisis, the dissatisfaction with UMASS leadership, and Governor Swift's veto.
He then presented President Bulger with the signed petitions.

Chair Fey thanked the speakers for sharing their views on what is a very difficult situation.
Although the Board completely supports the funding of the contracts, economic and fiscal forces
beyond the University's control are delaying the increases. The Board and President Bulger
want to see the contracts funded and will advocate for it.

The next item was the President's Report. President Bulger thanked Chair Fey and
welcomed the newest Trustees to the Board. The perspective, experience and talent they bring to
the Board are highly valuable to the University.

President Bulger thanked Chancellor Lombardi and his staff for their hospitality. He
congratulated the campus for winning a $12 million grant to support polymer research. The
victory is dramatic evidence of the amazing research activities taking place on the campus.
Across Massachusetts there is growing recognition that the University is central to the economy
and worthy of public and private support.

President Bulger reported on a panel discussion entitled "Positioning Massachusetts for
Recovery." The panel discussion held on October 10th featured leaders of several economic
policy groups. Michael Olivieri, a UMass Lowell alumnus, and publisher of the Boston Business
Journal moderated the panel discussion. Economic leaders agreed that higher education, in the
form of both teaching and research, is a cornerstone of the Massachusetts economy and requires
smart investment if Massachusetts is to retain its competitive edge.

President Bulger also reported that on October 10th, five leading CEOs of Massachusetts
companies: Ray Stata of Analog Devices, Michael Ruettgers of EMC, George Chamillard of
Teradyne, Corrinne Johnson of GE Aircraft, and Sam Thier of Partners Health Care, released a
letter to the two major gubernatorial candidates advocating for a science and technology-based
economic development strategy. Accelerating the development of the UMass system as a
leading-edge technology university was among the suggestions in their letter.

President Bulger reported that on October 30 a meeting was held to inform over 100
Massachusetts life sciences industry executives about partnering opportunities available
throughout the University. Many executives expressed a desire to engage their companies with
the University's scientists. The event received statewide newspaper coverage. Tom Sommer,
President of MassMedic, told the Associated Press: "What's coming out of UMass is as high
quality as what's coming out of MIT, Harvard, and Worcester Polytechnical." Tom Hubbard of
the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative said, UMASS is the "lynchpin of creating new
technologies, new jobs, new industries, in different parts of the state. If the future for the Pioneer
Valley is to get more life science jobs, UMASS Amherst is it."

President Bulger reported that the University has recently reached some very important
science-related milestones. The Intercampus Graduate School of Marine Sciences and
Technology officially accepted its first cohort of students this fall. On November 4th President
Bulger was joined by Massachusetts Secretary of Environmental Affairs Robert Durand, to
announce the creation of the Massachusetts Marine Fisheries Institute. The institute, funded
almost entirely with state and federal funds, is a partnership of the Commonwealth's Division of
Marine Fisheries and the Intercampus Graduate School of Marine Science and Technology. Its
mission will be to protect and manage the state's fisheries, which sustain a $2 billion industry
that employs 80,000 people in Massachusetts. The collaboration will provide new and exciting
research opportunities for faculty and learning opportunities for students.

President Bulger reported that the commercial ventures and intellectual property program set
another record last year by earning nearly $ 1 5 million in licensing revenue. The University is
now among the top 25 universities in this area. He also reported that the University is off to a
good start for the year thanks to higher than projected sales of the new allergy medicine
Clarinex, which was developed by Medical School scientists.

President Bulger then addressed the collective bargaining issue. He understands the
employees' frustration. But given the existence of a national and regional economic crisis, the
Commonwealth has been unable to appropriate the funds needed to fund the contracts. For the
Governor and the Legislature, coping with the economic crisis has meant cutting in many areas.
President Bulger went on to report that The Boston Globe had recently noted more than $500
million in cuts from vital human service programs. The amount of money that has been cut from
human service programs only slightly exceeds the entire appropriation the University receives
from the state. He noted that many other public universities are facing similar challenges.

President Bulger is confident that the Commonwealth will reward the University when it is
able to do so. He is also confident that faculty and staff will continue making the idea of a great
university an enduring reality.

Committee on Academic and Student Affairs
April 23, 2002

Chair White introduced the first discussion item Faculty Recruitment and Retention. Vice
President Botman reminded the Committee that faculty form the core of higher education
institutions. The University continues to search for outstanding faculty who will make significant
contributions in teaching, research, creative activity, and service. The world of higher education
has changed over the last 20 years all across the United States. There are fewer tenured-track
and tenured positions in many fields, especially in the special sciences and the humanities.

Vice President Botman reported on the differences between tenured track and non-tenured
track faculty. The composition of the University's faculty has changed during the last decade.
The percentage of faculty with tenure or on tenure track has declined. System-wide, the number
of tenured faculty has declined by 234, a 12% decrease. Full-time non-tenure track faculty
increased by 87, or 56%. Part-time faculty has increased by 64 FTE, or 26%.

Vice President Botman reported that the University currently faces significant challenges due
to the large number of faculty retiring in June. As many as 340 full-time faculty members may
retire by the end of the academic year as a result of the Early Retirement Program. Final
numbers of faculty retiring will be available after the June 15th deadline. Vice President Botman
estimated that 10-15% of the tenured faculty will retire at the end of the academic year.
Typically 2 to 3% of the tenured faculty retire annually.

Vice President Botman then introduced Provost Wagner, UMASS Lowell; Provost
MacEwan, UMASS Boston; Provost Curry, UMASS Dartmouth; Provost Seymour, UMASS
Amherst; and Vice Chancellor Scheid UMASS Worcester to lead the Committee in a discussion
on faculty recruitment and retention.

Provost Wagner reported on how the Lowell campus sets priorities in recruiting faculty. He
reported that instructional demand and strategic hiring are paramount in determining the
assignments of faculty.

Provost Seymour reported on how the recruitment process works on the Amherst campus.

Provost MacEwan reported on faculty retention strategies on the Boston campus. A number
of mechanisms have been developed to try and encourage teaching activity on campus. He
informed the Committee that the Boston campus is examining the issue of why junior faculty of
color leave the University at a higher rate than junior faculty in general.

Provost Curry reported on the impact of the Early Retirement Program on the Dartmouth
campus.

Vice Chancellor Scheid reported on alternative funding strategies for faculty on the
Worcester campus.

Committee on Academic and Student Affairs
October 22, 2002

President Bulger reported on the quality of life on the campuses and the University's
contribution to the excellent quality of life throughout the Commonwealth. The $15 million
UMASS Lowell Campus Recreation Center had its official opening in September. The new
facility dramatically improves the quality of life on the Lowell campus, and allows students to
have a more well-rounded college experience. President Bulger and Chancellor Hogan invite the
Trustees to view the new facility.

President Bulger reported that UMASS Dartmouth opened its new residence hall at the
beginning of the fall. The Dartmouth campus can now satisfy increasing student demand for a
residential college experience and continue to enroll a high quality student population.

President Bulger reported that the teaching and research talent present on the five campuses
is playing a major role in sustaining the quality of life throughout Massachusetts. He reported
that on October 8th, Governor Swift joined him in the President's Office for the purpose of
announcing the release of the Massachusetts Department of Economic Development's economic
framework for the Commonwealth entitled "Toward a New Prosperity." The report was created
under the guidance of the Donahue Institute and is based on the outstanding research and
analysis of the faculty members on the Amherst, Boston, Dartmouth and Lowell campuses. The
announcement was also transmitted via teleconference equipment to the Dartmouth and Lowell
campuses, as well as the 1-495 center in Westborough and the information technology hub in
Hadley. The full report, as well as a video of the press conference, can be viewed on the
University's website: www. massachusetts.edu.

President Bulger reported that on October 10 he hosted a panel discussion featuring the
leaders of several economic policy groups, including the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation,
Masslnc, Mass Insight, the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, and the Donahue Institute.
The panel discussion, entitled "Positioning Massachusetts for Recovery," was moderated by
Michael Olivieri, a UMass Lowell alumnus, who is now the publisher of the Boston Business
Journal. On the same day, five leading CEOs of Massachusetts companies: Ray Stata of Analog
Devices, Michael Ruettgers of EMC, George Chamillard of Teradyne, Corrinne Johnson of GE
Aircraft, and Sam Thier of Partners Health Care released a letter to the two major gubernatorial
candidates advocating for a science and technology-based economic development strategy. To
"accelerate the development of the UMASS system as a leading-edge technology university" is
among the suggestions in the letter. A few days earlier Ray Stata of Analog Devices - an
outspoken advocate and generous benefactor for the University, delivered the same message
while speaking at the 25th anniversary of the Massachusetts High Technology Council.

President Bulger announced that on October 30 , the University is hosting a meeting with
Massachusetts life sciences industry executives to inform them about the partnering
opportunities available throughout the University system. One hundred executives are expected
at the event, which is being co-sponsored by the Massachusetts Biotechnology Council and
MassMedic, which represents the Massachusetts medical device industry.

Committee on Academic and Student Affairs
October 22, 2002

President Bulger also announced that on November 15th, the five campuses of the University
and the Department of Academic Affairs in the President's Office are sponsoring an
environmental conference entitled "Managing Massachusetts' Environment for the New
Millennium: Highlighting the Capacity Within UMASS." The conference will be held at
UMASS Worcester.

President Bulger reported that the Intercampus Graduate School of Marine Sciences and
Technology officially accepted its first cohort of students this fall.

President Bulger noted that all of the above-mentioned events provide a good context for
today's discussion on University outreach. The discussion also correlates nicely with the faculty
outreach awards ceremony that will take place following the meeting.

The next item was the Vice President's Report. Vice President Botman reported on fall
2002 enrollment and admissions data. The context for recruiting undergraduates for this fall has
been challenging as universities are operating under constrained resources. Despite challenges,
freshmen applications were up 10.5% for the UMASS System. The Dartmouth campus had the
most dramatic increase at 19.5%. The Amherst campus had a 9.8% increase, the Lowell campus
a 7.9% increase, and the Boston campus a 2% increase. Transfer applications are up 3.1%. The
Dartmouth campus again had the largest increase at 12.2%.

Vice President Botman reported that the acceptance rate refers to the percent of applicants
admitted into each campus. A drop in the acceptance rate often suggests an academically
stronger student population. The Amherst campus' notable decrease from 73% to 58% is due to
the combination of a larger applicant pool and a planned reduction in the size of the entering
class. The University also tracks yield rates at each of the four campuses. The yield refers to the
number of accepted students who enroll on the campuses. The Lowell and Dartmouth campuses
yield rates increased while Amherst and Boston's rates decreased.

Vice President Botman reported that the campuses are doing well on high school GPA and
SAT scores of freshmen. Three of the four campuses reported a rise in high school grade point
averages while two of the four saw increases in SAT scores for incoming freshmen. The Lowell
campus showed a 25-point gain in SAT scores. The Boston campus showed a large increase in
GPA.

Vice President Botman reported that first-year student enrollment at the Amherst campus
declined by more than 20%, in part to compensate for the over-enrollment in the first-year class
that occurred in 2001. The first-year student population dropped nearly 18% at the Boston
campus. While the overwhelming number of new students on the Boston campus are transfer
students, the sharp decline will merit attention during the current recruitment cycle. The
Dartmouth campus showed a sharp increase in first-year students and the Lowell campus a
modest increase. Transfer student enrollments are down just over 3% with the largest drop on
the Boston and Lowell campuses. The Amherst campus rose 7.7% while the Dartmouth campus

-3-

Committee on Academic and Student Affairs
October 22, 2002

remained stable. The percentage of students of color has remained stable since 1998. Vice
President Botman reported that overall undergraduate and graduate enrollments are slightly
down.

Chair White introduced the first two discussion items Periodic Multi-Year Review
(PMYR) and the Academic Quality Assessment and Development Review (AQAD). Chair
Fey asked Vice President Botman to provide an overview of the PMYR and AQAD review
processes for the newest members of the Committee.

Vice President Botman introduced Provost Curry; UMASS Dartmouth Provost Fonteyn,
UMASS Boston; Provost Wagner, UMASS Lowell; Provost Seymour, UMASS Amherst; and
Ms. Layton, Associate Vice President.

Vice President Botman provided a brief overview of the PMYR and AQAD review
processes. She indicated that each year in October a report on accountability and quality
measures is brought before the Board. PMYR and AQAD are meaningful processes for quality
assurance and improvement. The processes are designed to have an impact on teaching and
research over the long tenn. The fact that the University engages these review processes speaks
volumes about the University's commitment to assessment and improvement, and its desire to be
held accountable for high performance. The AQAD process is designed to assure that every
department and program undergoes a structured review to assess its goals and objectives, its
curriculum, the environment for teaching and learning, and the quality of the faculty. PMYR
allows tenured faculty members to look retrospectively and introspectively at their careers, and
think about possibilities for growth and renewal.

Vice President Botman indicated that the focus of the discussion is to update the Committee
on accountability measures used by the provosts on the campuses.

Provost Seymour briefed the Committee on PMYR and AQAD procedures for the Amherst
campus. She also informed the Committee of the usefulness and importance of the PMYR and
AQAD processes.

Provost Wagner briefed the Committee on PMYR and AQAD processes and the expectations
for the Lowell campus.

Provost Curry briefed the Committee on PMYR and AQAD processes for the Dartmouth
campus. He reported that PMYR and AQAD are coupled processes.

Chair White indicated that PMYR and AQAD are absolutely necessary and important to the
University. He asked that last year's report be sent to trustees. Chair White thanked the
Provosts for participating in the discussion.

Committee on Academic and Student Affairs
October 22, 2002

Chair White introduced the next discussion item, Outreach and Public Service. Vice
President Botman introduced Joan Becker, Associate Vice Provost for Academic Support
Services, UMASS Boston; John Mullin, Vice Chancellor for University Outreach, UMASS
Amherst; Paul Vigeant, Associate Vice Chancellor for Economic Development, UMASS
Dartmouth; and Donn Clark, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, UMASS
Lowell.

Vice President Botman reported that outreach provides educational opportunities for
students, produces and applies knowledge, and aids the Commonwealth in resolving external
problems. Faculty and staff have extensive relationships in the city, in the state, and
internationally. She indicated that the focus of the discussion is to talk with practitioners and
leaders about outreach at the University.

Vice Chancellor Mullin of the Amherst campus briefed the Committee on the importance of
outreach. He indicated that teaching and research are often the products of outreach.

Associate Vice Chancellor Vigeant of the Dartmouth campus briefed the Committee on the
University as an economic resource for outreach.

Ms. Becker of the Boston campus briefed the Committee on outreach efforts with the Boston
Public School system.

Professor Clark of the Lowell campus briefed the Committee on the program he established
ten years ago to engage students in the design and development of technology to improve the
daily lives of persons with disabilities.

Chair White and President Bulger thanked the participants.

The first item for action was Appointment as Distinguished Professor, UMASS Amherst.

Provost Seymour reported that Dr. Young-Mason is an outstanding individual. She has received
one of the most prestigious awards personally and professionally in her field, and is very active
in outreach. Dr. Young-Mason has published three books, the most recent, The Patient's Voice:
Experience of Illness, has been translated into Japanese.

It was moved, seconded and

Committee on Administration, Finance and Audit
January 24, 2002

Under the Chair's Report, Chair Dubilo reported that the current fiscal situation has
placed the University in the position of making some hard decisions. The Board of
Trustees supports the Administration in their efforts to take the necessary steps to keep
the University prospering. Seventy thousand students benefit from the educational
opportunities provided by this University. The job of the Board is to ensure that the
faculty and the administrators continue with the University's high standards.

The next item was the President's Report. President Bulger began his report by
stating that while the University faces great financial challenges in the months ahead, he
is confident that the University will emerge with its strength and vitality intact and will
continue with its core mission of providing the citizens of the Commonwealth with
educational excellence.

President Bulger continued his report by noting that the Board had met in a special
meeting in December and had taken the difficult step of raising student charges, the first
increase in seven years. This vote was needed due to a $25 million mid-year budget cut.
Student charges for the upcoming year are usually considered at this meeting but the vote
is being deferred until the February 6 Board meeting to give the University additional
time to study the ever-changing fiscal situation.

President Bulger also reported that the campuses are going forward with workforce
reduction steps resulting in the elimination of 300 positions by the end of the fiscal year.
He commended the Chancellors and their staff for their hard work with their own
spending reduction plans.

The faculty, staff, administrators and members of the Board will continue to build on
the progress the University has made in recent years.

The next item for discussion was State Budget Update. Vice President Lenhardt
reported on some of the critical concerns: a $25 million cut to the University's
appropriations due to the State Budget being out of balance by $300 million to $1.2
billion; the University has approximately $25 million in collectively bargained wage
increases requiring state funding in FY02; the total cost of contracts from FY02 to FY04
is estimated at over $110 million.

Vice President Lenhardt continued his report by noting that the FY2003 State budget
could be $1.2 to $1.5 billion out of balance. The University is currently taking the
following actions:

-2-

current national and regional economic crisis, has been unable to appropriate the money needed
to fund the various contracts.

the University would be only a goal rather than the reality.

points in Lowell,

campuses;

Committee on Administration, Finance and Audit
October 24, 2002

The next item was a discussion item: Financial Aid Activity, FY1995 to FY2001. Mr.
O'Riordan reported that financial aid is distributed to students determined to have financial need;
financial assistance is awarded based on considerations other than financial need such as
academic or athletic. Some of the highlights included:

•Financial Aid Trends - FY1995 to FY2001: student financial need has decreased due to
reduced student charges, changes in student profile and the stable condition of UMASS
•Increase in Financial Aid Dollars Awarded: more non-need aid available through loans and
University scholars;

•Between FY1995 and FY2001 the average student charge decreased 3.5%, the number of
enrolled undergraduates increased by 2.8%, the number of undergraduates applying for aid

vvivujvu / / v. iaiw iiumuvi v.' a uiiuvi ci uuuuiwo uvlviiiiinvu ivy nu w imuuv-iui uiv-t livvu uvvivujvu

22.6% and the number of undergraduates with financial need receiving no aid decreased
60.3%;

It was noted that the University offers financial assistance to all students who demonstrate
need. If the need is relatively low and the onlv aid offered is a need-based loan, the student
elects not to borrow the loan and funds the bill through other means. The only groups of eligible
students with large amounts of unmet need are out-of-state students who receive very limited
amounts of institutional need-based aid.

The next item was the Audit Activity Report. Mr. Harrison updated the Committee
members with recent audit activities. Some of those activities included:

•The State Audit office reviewed the Parking Garage and Transportation operations at
UMASS Boston and have completed reviews at UMASS Amherst and UMASS Worcester
regarding the statewide evaluation of compliance with laws on the reporting of foreign non-
immigrant students;

•The State Auditor's Information Technology Division has finished a review of the principal
data centers at UMASS Boston;

•The State Audit Office has reviewed the information technology service agreements at
UMASS Dartmouth and their Foundation;

•The State Auditor is working with the President's Office and UMASS Worcester on an
inventory of equipment purchases for the Center for Advanced Fiberoptic Applications in
Southbridge;
•There are several external contract reviews currently in progress.

Committee on Administration, Finance and Audit
October 24, 2002

Finally, Mr. Harrison reported that the Auditor's office has met the needs for internal audit
services by contracting for aid on some reviews. Right now there is an effort to plan for the
contracted audits for FY2002. A mid-year FY2003 budget has been requested for the resource
needs to plan for unplanned work for all of the campuses.

renovations to the swimming pool; housing on the Boston campus would contribute greatly in
the recruiting process; the Shaw's Pro Summer League has proved to be a huge success
generating positive publicity and high attendance; UMASS Boston has been honored with the
Community Service Through Athletics Honor Roll award for three consecutive years. The
athletic department operates on a $2.5 million dollar budget.

Athletic Committee
October 24, 2002

Chancellor Gora commended Athletic Director Charles Titus for his outstanding outreach
program with the Greater Boston community. It was suggested that the Boston campus find
ways to utilize the generosity provided to the communities by the UMASS Boston athletic
program.

•UMASS DARTMOUTH:

On the Dartmouth campus there are 568 athletes, 128 are on the Dean's or Chancellor's list; the
ice hockey coach has the best winning percentage in three divisions; the UMASS Dartmouth
cheerleaders have won two national championships; currently there are two athletic trainers for
26 sports and one groundskeeper for 27 acres of athletic fields. A Blue Ribbon Committee
recently recommended that the campus immediately begin the procedure to move the athletic
program to Division II from Division III. The football field will soon be replaced with an
artificial surface, the pool has a leak and there is a need for new tennis courts and a new facility
for athletic training. The athletic program operates on a budget of $1.9 million.

•UMASS LOWELL:

On the Lowell campus, Chancellor Hogan and Mr. Skinner noted the success of the Tsongas
Arena and LeLacheur Park; the new Campus Recreation Center opened this September providing
80,000 square feet of recreational and meeting space; The Lowell campus will become fully
compliant with Title IX by implementing a Division I Women's program; the campus will strive
to generate new revenues to increase scholarship support. The athletic program operates on a
budget of $3.3 million.

•UMASS AMHERST:

UMASS Amherst is a Division I program with the exception of football at Division I-AA. The
Amherst campus was one of 20 Division I programs nationally chosen for the 2002 U.S. News
and World Report Honor Roll. Chancellor Lombardi stressed the need to encourage fans of
Amherst athletics to make a financial commitment. The athletic program has a budget of $18.2
million.

ADDITIONAL HIGHLIGHTS:

•NCAA Compliance: must meet the University's published requirement for good academic
standing including required grade point average, full-time course enrollment and satisfactory
progress towards degree completion; eligibility clearance process;

•Sports teams need to remain competitive to generate revenue; winning increases revenues
from gate receipts and donations.

(

Athletic Committee
October 24, 2002

•Each campus stressed the need for strategies to fund additional full-time coaches, update
athletic facilities and recruiting measures; some suggestions for increased funding: raising fees
and enhancement of development/fundraising activities.

Ms. Betsy Mosher from the Amherst campus made a presentation on NCAA Rules and
Compliance. Compliance at the Division I level is very different than that at the Division II and
III levels. Key components of a successful compliance program are consistent philosophy,
education, communication and record keeping.

Chair Moes thanked Ms. Mosher for a very informative presentation and indicated her desire
to inform the rest of the Board members on the importance of this issue. Ms. Mosher agreed to
provide a hard copy of the report for distribution.

Chair Moes also asked that Committee members and Chancellors contact Vice President
Julian about additional issues that need to be on future Athletic Committee meeting agendas.
Two items that needs to be addressed at the next meeting: the issue of alternative revenue
resources, and how UMASS Sports teams can connect with the rest of the state.

Chancellor Lombardi will speak to Vice President Julian about the addition of a member of
the Board in an advisory position on Amherst athletic issues.

The meeting was adjourned at 1 1 :45 a.m.

The meeting was convened at 4:15 p.m. Chair Fey welcomed one of the newest
members of the Board, James Karam.

Chair Fey stated that there is a great deal of information to get through today as we
discuss the 2002 Performance Measurement Results.

President Bulger also expressed his enthusiasm for today's report.

Vice Presidents Lenhardt and Botman thanked the many staff members that have
worked so hard on this report including Daphne Layton, Kelli Armstrong, Steven
O'Riordan and the campus staff members from Institutional Research. The Performance
Measurement System was created in 1997 and combines the annual indicators and
AQAD process of program reviews. It was designed to provide Trustees with a way to
measure the progress of campuses in critical areas and is used primarily as a management
tool.

Committee of the Whole
April 30, 2002

Some of the major changes made in 2002 to the Performance Measurement System
include a revised list of annual indicators, a revised format of the report and revisited
campus peer groups. Targets and additional indicators will be added in 2003 that will
include: campus regional impact indicators, graduate admission test scores of graduates
and alumni satisfaction measures.

The Annual Indicators include five major categories: academic quality, access and
affordability, financial health, service to the Commonwealth and student success and
satisfaction. The new indicators focus more on outputs such as the percentage of seniors
rating their educational experience and the percentage of alumni giving to the institution,
student/faculty ratio, percentage of faculty with terminal degrees, online/distance course
enrollments, license income and patent applications and sponsored instruction/outreach
per faculty.

Some of the broad themes from the 2002 indicators include the following:

•Academic Quality

-Continued improvement in the academic profile of entering students

-Good overall performance on licensure/certification tests

-Sponsored research/faculty far below peer institutions, despite healthy rates of

growth on most campuses (except UMASS Dartmouth and UMASS Worcester)

•Student Success and Satisfaction

-Most measures (freshman retention rates, satisfaction rates, alumni giving rates, are

good and comparable to peers but still could improve

-Most problematic area is freshman graduation rates, which are slightly below peers

and have not improved in recent years

•Service to the Commonwealth

-High percentage of alumni live and work in Massachusetts

-Significant growth in online course enrollments between 2000 and 2001

-Starting to see growth in patents and license revenues (especially UMASS

Worcester)

•Access and Affordability

-Improvements in the academic profile of new students have not come at the expense

of access

-Improvements or stability in diversity of undergraduates, percentage from

Massachusetts and from lower-income backgrounds

Committee of the Whole
April 30, 2002

•Financial Health

-FY01 and FY02 are stable

-From FY02 to FY07 we have the potential for a significant decline in the financial

condition

-Outperform peers on operating surpluses

-Well-managed debt

-Perform less satisfactorily on financial savings and endowment

Chancellors Williams, Gora, MacCormack, Hogan and Lazare then reported on their
PMS challenges and highlights, (see Doc. T02-033).

Following the Chancellor's highlights there was a discussion about several issues:

•the need to continue to provide access to the students with the highest financial

need;

•the need to focus on the reasons students drop out, financial or otherwise; at

UMASS Boston the retention and graduation rates for freshmen fall below those of

their peers.

Vice Chair Giblin suggested the administration institute a study about ways to
improve retention rates and what it would cost to keep students in school.

There being no further business to come before the Committee, the meeting was
adjourned at 5:45 p.m.

Dr. Timothy Babineau, Jacquelyn Briggs, William Kennedy, Stacey Rainey, Robert Sheridan,
and Ellen Zane. Trustees Sheridan and Zane will be present at tomorrow's Board meeting.

Chair Fey then reported that the Committee would be hearing a discussion on the
effectiveness of research on the Amherst campus.

Under the President's Report, President Bulger thanked Chancellor Lombardi and his staff
for their hospitality. He thanked the speakers for taking time to participate in the discussion. He
reported on a meeting held on October 30th with over 100 Massachusetts life sciences industry
executives to introduce them to University-wide excellence in life sciences research. One of the
presentations focused on a partnership developed between the Pfizer Company and the
Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences on the Amherst campus. President Bulger then
read remarks from the Director of Pfizer's Animal Science program on the company's
involvement with the University. "UMASS provides Pfizer with a unique opportunity to gain
significant learning from basic biology; research at UMASS has demonstrated unexpected results

(

Committee of the Whole
November 5, 2002

of commercial impact and; UMASS provides Pfizer with an optimal integration of academics
and commercial interests."

Vice President Botman then introduced the discussion item, The Importance of Research at
UMASS Amherst. She thanked the Committee, on behalf of the presenters, for the opportunity
to talk about research. She reported that UMASS Amherst has created a research institution, and
research is central and fundamental to faculty. She hoped the discussion would humanize the
faculty, explain the mystique surrounding research, and satisfy the Committee on the importance
of research to the state and the University.

Vice President Botman reported that research conducted on the Amherst campus is strong.
The campus conducts research in science and technology, humanities, fine arts, and social
sciences. Faculty members conducting research in the sciences are credited by the amounts of
grants and contracts they bring in to the University. In the first quarter of FY2003 UMASS
Amherst brought in a record $34.3 million in grants and contracts, which is 35% higher than last
year.

Vice President Botman then introduced the participants:

Bruce Croft is Distinguished Professor of computer science whose research focus is on
information retrieval. He heads the Center for Intelligence Information Retrieval and has
brought in nearly $30 million in external funding to the center.

Barbara Osborne is Professor of Veterinary and Animal Sciences. She works on cells of the
immune system. She is a member of the White House Institute of Biomedical Research Board of
Advisors, and has founded a journal and a company.

James Young of the English department has authored books and articles. He is a
Distinguished Guggenheim Scholar, one of the highest distinctions in academics.

Barbara Partee is Professor of Linguistics and Philosophy. She is a member of the American
Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Science, and has written an important
textbook on mathematics for linguists.

David McLaughlin is Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He heads the
Microwave Remote Sensing Laboratory, and is particularly interested in the weather.

Julie Brigham-Grette is Professor of Geosciences and interested in the climate history of the
Arctic. She has organized and participated in eight field expeditions to the remote Northeast area
of Russia.

Committee of the Whole
November 5, 2002

Vice President Botman and faculty members then led the Trustees in a discussion on research
at the Amherst campus. The discussion focused on the following:

• why should UMASS and the Commonwealth support research?

• why is it important for the Commonwealth to have a research institution in the public
education system?

• how is research linked to undergraduate and graduate instruction?

• what projects are faculty members currently working on?

• is there intercampus collaboration on research projects?

• what is the process for choosing a research topic?

• who funds the projects?

• how much time is spent on research?

• how are research and teaching interchanged?

• what processes are used to determine how much time is spent on research and teaching?

• what does it mean to "outfit" a lab? what are the resources needed to support a lab?

• how has the Commonwealth Scholars program changed undergraduate research?

Some of the highlights included:

• research keeps students on top of the newest ideas and innovations;

• research provides cutting edge experiences for students to take into the market place;

• the Commonwealth should support research because students have access to quality
education;

• Professor Young studies the Legacy of the Holocaust and how it gets passed down.

• Professor McLaughlin is working on the study of hurricanes and seeks solutions to
extreme weather events;

• Professor Croft was recently involved in the National Academy for Fraud on the role of
science and technology encountering terrorism;

• faculty collaborate with colleagues and look to the very best person in the discipline to
compliment their research;

• formulating a research topic is the essence of research;

• research projects take 6 months to 5 years to complete;

• research remains constant and is imbedded in faculty teaching;

• salary packages, start-up cost, large instruments and equipment, and outfitting and
reconfiguring laboratory space are important issues in maintaining competitiveness;

• having the necessary equipment helps train students with the tools they will be using in the
future;

• Commonwealth Scholars has increased the overall quality of students in the classroom;

• conveying passion for one's work to students is important to having research on campus.

(

Committee of the Whole
November 5, 2002

Sherman, University Relations, UMASS Worcester

Guests: Mr. David Manuel, Prospect Information Network, LLC

Chair Mahoney convened the meeting at 9:40 a.m. The first item on the agenda was
Review of Top Principal Gift Prospects. Each campus Development Officer reported
on the status of the top prospects. Chair Mahoney expressed his concern with the list of
principal gift prospects, stating that we must increase the number of prospects and
develop a pool of stronger prospects relative to larger gift potential. There was a general
discussion regarding ways to proceed in identifying and qualifying prospects. There is
both a prospect quality issue and an activity issue to address in the major gift process.

Reference was made to the gift potential of reunion classes. Specific reference was
made to the 50th Reunion classes and the importance of identifying, cultivating, tracking
and monitoring individuals in these classes.

Development Committee
April 25, 2002

The importance of corporate matching of gift programs was discussed. We must
realize this potential and develop models for achieving and maximizing matching gifts.

Chair Mahoney asked that we define a strategy for utilizing volunteers in our
fundraising efforts. He suggested this as a topic for the next Committee meeting on July
23, and requested that the Development Officers in attendance meet prior to July 23rd to
discuss this further.

Chair Mahoney commented on the power of film utilizing campus video
presentations for prospective donors highlighting campus achievements, perhaps
including the name of the prospective donor relative to a naming gift opportunity. Other
suggestions included contacting well known alumni athletes, making prospective donors
aware of the state's matching gift program and circulating positive new articles such as
the recent U.S. News article.

Reference was made to publicity on gifts. This type of exposure is beneficial and
encourages others to join in supporting the University.

The next item was a Presentation: PIN, A Powerful New Approach to Finding,
Profiling and Monitoring Major Gift Prospects. Mr. David Manuel gave a
presentation on A New Approach to Fundraising. Traditional approaches have included
referrals by Board members, volunteers and staff, peer screening, surveys and "rich" zip
codes.

One of the common challenges in development includes soliciting the same donors
over and over again; the University needs to find new, qualified major gift prospects:
younger prospects with major gift potential and the "millionaire next door." There is new
competition for major gifts; traditional screening techniques are no longer adequate.

Mr. Manuel then gave an overview of the PIN process - some of the steps include:
identifying groups of names to begin the major donor identification part of the process,
research data to provide a profile to provide "hard" identification facts - PIN loads the
results into a copy of the ProfileBuilder databases and installs this database on your local
server. PIN staff members will provide on-site training.

Currently PIN is waiting for each campus to provide their donor lists. Chair
Mahoney asked that the campus personnel provide this information as soon as possible.

The next item was the Status of Fundraising Goals for 2001-2002. Chair Mahoney
reported that total support is at $66 million - the goal is $90 million. There is work to be
done by June 30 but overall we are making progress and moving closer to the goal.

Development Committee
April 25, 2002

The next item was the President's Annual Fund Update. Ms. Wilson introduced
Brian Andriolo who is working on the President's Fund. Using five test markets, the
total number of donors is at 179, total gifts $67,821.83: Trustees and Friends, 10 donors
at $49,206.83 and 169 Alumni and others at $18,615.00. The letter mailed from the
President is achieving positive results.

Before departing, Chair Mahoney requested that we identify companies willing to
make matching gifts and coordinating strategy involving potential volunteers.

There was an announcement that on Saturday, April 27, a UMASS Alumni Day
would be held at six different sites throughout the Commonwealth.

In closing, reference was again made to the importance of volunteers. It was
suggested that the University continue to explore the possibility of enlisting volunteers
such as former Chairs of the Board. Mr. Cofield asked that the development officers
provide a list of potential volunteers for the meeting preceeding the July 23 Development
Committee meeting.

The meeting was adjourned at 11:13 a.m.

Chair Mahoney convened the meeting at 9:45 a.m. The first item on the agenda was Review
of the Top Principle Gift Prospects. Development officers from each campus reported on their
top prospects relative to strategies, action plans, objectives and gift amounts.

The next item was Principle Gift Volunteer Structure. Ms. Wilson reported to the
Committee that the campuses are currently establishing campus-based volunteer boards. Each
board would have a chair and would be asked to attend future Development Committee
meetings.

Although there are campus-based foundation boards, Chair Mahoney remarked on the need
to revitalize these boards, utilizing the volunteers to focus on principal gift prospects in helping
to solicit others for support of the University.

Chancellor Lombardi pointed out that responsibility for fundraising at the Amherst campus
must involve many individuals, noting that deans and faculty must be included in the process.
The campus needs to further engage principal prospects and wealthy donors, particularly those
who can provide entrees to others of similar financial means. Chancellor Lombardi looks
forward to being involved in fundraising. He commented that we want to take advantage of
President Bulger at the appropriate time with select donors.

Chancellor Lombardi suggested that we compare our fundraising data with other universities.
We must be looking at trends and understanding where we are going with our fundraising
performance.

Chair Mahoney reinforced the points made by Chancellor Lombardi. He suggested that we
review fundraising data over the past few years and retain the topic related to volunteers assisting
with fundraising for our October meeting. Chair Mahoney asked that other topics for the
October meeting should include the PIN (Prospect Identification Network) Program as well as
the continued discussion on the top 25 prospects.

Vice Chancellor Sperounis informed the Committee members that Donald Rizzo has
resigned from his position at the Lowell campus.

The next item was Fundraising Results for FY2001-2002. A Report was distributed listing
the figures for each campus: cash, pledges, grants, gifts-in-kind, total support and the goals. The
goal for 2002 was $90 million; the results totaled $84 million. Several development officers
reported some disappointment in the results, citing factors that included the economy, the overall
business environment and the volatility of the market. As stated earlier, Chair Mahoney asked
that the Committee be presented with data from peer institutions regarding fundraising efforts.

The next item was the President's Annual Fund Final Report/Next Steps. Ms. Wilson
reported that there was a 2% response rate to the mailing sent out for the President's Fund.
Another mailing is being planned for August. Having the correspondence come from the
President has proved to have a positive effect.

The next item was the UMASS Alumni Evening at the Pops, 2002. Mr. Goodhue reported
that this year's concert was nearly a sell-out in contrast to last year's concert when all tickets
were sold weeks prior to the event. Mr. Goodhue commented about the success of the
President's reception. This special event preceded the concert and recognized the University's
most generous donors and other select prospects.

President Bulger expressed appreciation for their interest and support. He introduced Chair
of the Board, Grace Fey and Speaker Thomas Finneran, both of whom made appropriate
remarks. President Bulger introduced Roy Zuckerberg, UMass Lowell alumnus, and recipient of
The President's Medal, at the reception. Mr. Zuckerberg delivered remarks and later addressed
the crowd at the Pops concert. Again, it was a great evening for alumni and friends of the
University.

Mr. Goodhue noted that Commonwealth College students were offered tickets to the
Pops concert. He suggested that individuals attending next year's be offered the opportunity to
buy five tickets, allocating one for a student. The plan for next year is to also include a reception
for select donors.

Chair Mahoney concluded the meeting with a suggestion for the October agenda:
Fundraising goals for FY2003, a status report on the Volunteer Structure and an analysis from
Prospect Information Network (PEST) regarding major gift prospects.

The meeting was adjourned at 10:55 a.m.
