F.   Report of Workgroups
     
     1.   Resource Development Workgroup report
     presented by Regent Wood.  There are
     plans for an 8-year capital campaign with a
     preliminary goal of $1.5 billion.  The Workgroup
     understands that the ability to meet the goals is
     dependent on funding of the resources for
     the capital campaign itself.  Sources of money
     to fund the capital campaign would be from three
     possible areas:
     
          a.   Raise money from outside sources or from
               the state that would go into
               first three or four years of campaign.
     
          b.   For the remaining part of the campaign,
               the institutions would use
               the influx of funds and other internal
               resources to build up their own funding to 
               complete the campaign.
     
          c.   A potential source of funds is to sell
               unused state properties in inventory.
               Draft plan has been circulated to presidents
               and vice presidents with a final plan
               evolving over the year.  Campuses will provide
               their individual campaign goals by December 31, 
               2004.

          2.   Report of the Public Corporation Workgroup
     was presented by Regent Kendall.  The work
     of the workgroup resulted in legislation on
     program approval, the common trust investment, and the
     USM autonomy bill being introduced by the
     Governor and passing unanimously in both
     houses with the endorsement of the Speaker
     of the House and the President of the Senate.

          3.   Efficiencies and Effectiveness Workgroup
     report presented by Regent Kendall.  The
     workgroup continues to work on finding ways
     for the System to be more effective and efficient.  The
     System has contracted with Accenture for outside
     consulting services.  They are working
     with the campuses to collect data.
     Regent Kendall thanked the presidents and their staffs
     for the information provided to the
     consultants.
