"Charlotte College Nucleus
"Believing that a University campus is a necessity for the Charlotte area, we contend that a proper nucleus for the campus already exists in Charlotte College.
"For seventeen years the college offered university parallel courses for freshmen and sophomores. Students from Charlotte College transferred to senior colleges and made excellent records. Many made Phi Beta Kappa. Some became doctors; other lawyers, ministers, engineers and businessmen. Alumni are in this community and across the land making a name for themselves and Charlotte College wherever they are.
"The College has assembled a well-qualified and dedicated faculty. Of the present 57 full-time faculty members, 22 (38 percent) hold the Ph.D. degree. It is anticipated that of the 77 full-time faculty members for 1964-65, more than 50 percent will have the Ph. D. degree.
"With the completion of projects authorized by the 1963 General Assembly, the College will have a physical plant of approximately $7 million. Total campus acreage is 917. Promised tracts would bring the campus to over 1,000 acres.
"UNC's Need to Serve
"FUTHERMORE, if the University of North Carolina is to become truly a statewide institution of higher learning, carrying university services to the people in their communities, there is unquestionable need to establish a campus in the most populous area of the State.
"Surrender Jobs
"In making a formal request for University status, we, the Trustees of Charlotte College, are fully aware that should this action be approved, we would be without positions of responsibility in the organization of the University. However, the need for a University campus in Charlotte far outweighs any personal considerations."
Secretary Allen was instructed to acknowledge receipt of the resolution on behalf of the Executive Committee.
FORT BRAGG CENTER
President Friday requested Chancellor Caldwell to report on plans which had been developed for meeting the request of the Base Command at Fort Bragg for expanded opportunities for higher education. The review covered the basic facts regarding Fort Bragg's need, the experience of North Carolina State in offering courses for extension credit over a period of 17 years, and the general problem over the nation in providing resident credit toward a degree for the man in military service. Negotiations with the University of North Carolina regarding a degree program had extended over the last three years and had recently reached a climax requiring definite response from the University. The University at Chapel Hill had expressed its feeling that on-campus committments were too great and took precedence over serving the Fort Bragg situation.

The Chancellor then stated that the Administrative Council at North Carolina State and the Facuity Senate had within the past week recommended unanimously that the College undertake this responsibility at Fort Bragg.
The College, therefore, under conditions which will require explicit financial and other responsibilities of the Army, is prepared to offer at Fort Bragg the opportunity for qualified personnel to take courses
a) for resident credit,
b) toward a bachelor's degree
c) and for completion of requirements for a bachelor's degree awarded by North Carolina State
d) in at least two major fields of study to begin with
e) on the Base at Fort Bragg
The general conditions were described, including the obligations of the Base. The College expects to charge $18. 00 per credit hour, toward which the Army will pay three-fourths up to $13.50 maximum. Although it is believed that this revenue will support the program at a minimum level, the College prefers to have an additional sum of $50,000 annually to be supplied by the State to help guarantee a quality program. This sum would provide, for example, help to sustain desirable course offerings of low enrollment. It will be requested through the "B" Budget. The College also would advise the Base Commander that at some future time conditions may require that the tuition rate be raised to $20.00.
On motion of Judge Mintz, duly seconded, the recommendation for a degree program at Fort Bragg was approved.
Faculty Members participating in political elections
Mr. Hill suggested that the Trustees should have some regulations regarding faculty members who run for political office while remaining on the faculty, and he made a motion requesting President Friday to look into the matter and report back to the Executive Committee. This motion was duly seconded, and it was adopted.
Invitation to visit Medical Center
Mr. Hill also extended an invitation to the members of the Executive Committee to visit the Medical Center at Chapel Hill and to supper at his home on the next meeting date of the Committee which is Friday, September 11, 1964.
