The meeting commenced with the approval of previous minutes. The President's report covered several key areas, including the vibrancy of the Fall semester, a tour of the Health Sciences Education Center, and updates on COVID-19 safety protocols such as mask and vaccine mandates, which resulted in extremely low case numbers. The President also detailed a shift in COVID-19 positive case guidance and the launch of the 'inform' page on the safe campus website. Significant discussion focused on public safety enhancements, including hiring additional police officers, a social worker, and a community liaison, alongside preventative measures like blue light kiosks and safety guide programs. The M Safe program review, related to UMPD, was also noted. Furthermore, the President announced several new leadership appointments, including Deans for the Humphrey School and CSE, and a Director for the Weisman Art Museum.
