1)	The meeting was convened and chaired by Ralph Badinelli, Chairman.
The agenda was adopted as stated.

2)	Final minutes of February 26 meeting were approved and will be
submitted to University Council after April 12.

3)	Ralph Badinelli lead discussion on change of name for this
Commission to Commission on Outreach as recommended by the Outreach
Implementation Task Force report. Terry Swecker made a motion to change
name as recommended, Bill Mashburn seconded the motion. A vote was taken
and passed.

4)	Ralph Badinelli stated that no program is underway or being
considered to teach degree students and continuing education students in
the same class.

Ralph Badinelli explained the Robin Hood proposal; taking 13-15% of
continuing education profits to be used in non-extension programs that
are not subsidized (e.g., dietetics for the elderly, family financial
planning). Ted Settle stated that $240,000 has been provided by the
Provost office from E & G money for this purpose. He explained that any
faculty member interested in these funds should contact the Academic
Council member in their college to reach the appropriate faculty contact
in Continuing Education. Ted also explained how profits are distributed
and offered to share the Division of Continuing Education budget with
this commission.

5)	Ralph Badinelli gave an overview of what is contained in the
Implementation Committee Task Force report; name change of this
commission, possible continuing education profit sharing, and faculty
accountability.

Next year's membership roster was reviewed. Members who would not be
returning are Kermit Kwan, Ralph Badinelli, and James Jones. A
representative from the SGA never attended last year. Hopefully these
positions will be filled by the next meeting in the fall.

A new chair will be elected at the first meeting in the Fall '96. Terry
Swecker will convene this meeting.

Ted Settle thanked Ralph Badinelli for all of his efforts as chair of
the committee during the last year.

The meeting was adjourned at 3:25.
