DIRECTOR'S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
March 7, 1986
AUG J J 1987
N. C. STATE LIBRARY
RALBGH
The main body of this repor t consists of r eports forwarded to me by Dr .
William W. Youngblood, Principal and Deputy Director for School Programs,
and by Dr. Braughn Taylor, Deputy Director for Operations and Institutional
Advancement. Their reports will give you a comprehensive view of the
status of the School at present as well as of plans and projects which
are currently underway.
As always, these reports prepared by these administrators and their
associates provide evidence of (1) the diversity and complexity of the
many activities that all of us are engaged in; (2) the quality and the
efforts of the faculty and staff as they carry out their responsibilities;
(3) the comprehensive nature of the service the School is providing to
its numerous constituents; and (4) areas of review and planning for unmet
needs and goals. All of these are part of the ongoing evolutionary process
that continues even as we near the end of the sixth year of operation and
the seventh year since I arrived to assume the r esponsibilities of the
directorship.
Various administrators who contributed to the r eports will be present at
t he Board meeting to answer any specific quest i ons or to receive comments
and suggestions about their reports and the acti vities of their offices.
The following parts of my report will pertain to various other areas within
my direct responsibilities.
Governance
The tragic death of our Trustee, Dr. Ronald E. McNair, has created a
vacancy on our Board of Trustees. This vacancy is within the category
of those who are appointed by the Board of Governors without regard to
place of residence. At the meeting of the Board of Governors on February
14th, that Board was informed of the vacancy and asked for its suggestions
for replacement. I have received a letter from Mr. John Kennedy, Secretary
to the Board of Governors, also requesting suggestions from our Board of
Trustees.
