The University of ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ Board of Regents heads to ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ's Emerald Isle for its April

The packed agenda includes a motion to approve the issues and subsequent goals, known

across the UA System and a charge to faculty to create common general education requirements
for English and math across the system--also will be up before the board.
Public testimony will be taken at approximately 9:30 a.m. both Thursday and Friday.
Written comments are accepted and will be distributed to the Board of Regents and
UA President Pat Gamble following the meeting. The meeting also will be available
