Meeting in Room 157 of the Bernhard Center, trustees will decide on a proposal aimed at better serving the population of visiting students and professionals who return to school to take specific courses or a limited number of classes in the summer. If trustees agree to the proposal, tuition during Summer I and Summer II sessions will be assessed on a per-credit-hour basis, effective with the start of the 2006 Summer I session. Trustees also will consider a number of other items, including a proposal to transfer the Biosciences Research and Commercialization Center to the WMU Research Foundation, as well as a recommendation to confer an honorary degree. In addition, the board is expected to hear reports on gifts and grants, consider a number of personnel items, and hear several information items.
