More information coming up in early 2014. Open forum will be held on 10/30 about campus climate. The president suggests that the Campus Public Security is not interested in creating a restrictive environment. But, students must take greater responsibility to make sure that parties will not be getting out of control. The president also applauds the efforts of the SGA to improve relations between students and the public safety. Budget and finances: Some adjustments are necessary in order to address the current structural budget deficits. The Faculty Budget Committee will present their findings to the faculty. Institute of Contemplative Studies and Mindful Living This new institute will be established at 鶹ý. It will be strongly interdisciplinary and without affiliation to any one particular School. A new Faculty Mindfulness Fellowship was also announced. It is open to all faculty who are interested in learning how to concretely apply a contemplative approach to classroom learning. One need not already have a meditation practice to apply - only motivation to learn.

Provost Beth: Delaware study is about faculty productivity. There is no one measure that fits all. Faculty members suggest that credits hours cannot accurately reflect efforts and times devoted by faculty. Faculty members also suggest that services should be also factored into credits hour generation, as the Delaware Study focuses only on teaching.
