Dr. Dailey said at the point where they had degrees conferred, they had not confirmed all honorary degrees and they wanted to confer the honorary degrees that were granted at commencement. Dr. Dailey said according to board policy, the board is the entity that confers or grants the conferring of degrees.

Chair Dukes said she knows one of the recipients was Frank Taylor. Dr. Dailey said there was also Dr. Richard Rosen, who was a contributor to their nursing program.

Chair Dukes asked for a motion to approve the honorary degrees. Regent Hatchett made a motion and Regent Moyer seconded the motion. Motion passed.

Presented by Jack McNear, Associate VP of Capital Planning and Facilities Management.

Mr. McNear said there are two items to discuss and one is a correction. He said when they did the approval for the additional funding for Shauntee Hall, the total amount was written as $9,680,000 and the correct figure is $10,680,000 and he wanted to correct it for the record.

Mr. NcNear discussed the renovation of Hunter Hall, a residence hall on campus. He said there was already $750,000 put in this fund and they are requesting approval for an additional $7.25 million, which would take the project to $8.25 million.

Chair Dukes asked if they were using asset preservation funding for that. Mr. McNear responded yes and said this will be from the 2024-26 bond fund.

Regent Moyer asked after the renovations are complete, how much revenue will this generate. Mr. McNear said he does not know but he can get the answer. He said he will talk to auxiliary services since they are on the income side of it.

Regent Grimshaw asked if there will be an increase in capacity or a movement from lower quality housing to better when the project is done. Mr. McNear responded that it will be better quality housing when the project is done.

Dr. Heather Bigard said there was a study done of all the residence halls a few years ago and many of the renovations are coming v as a result of the study. She said those improvements are made so that they can generate more income off of the residence halls.

Chair Dukes said she would like to see a list of all those buildings that are currently being occupied - whether it be office space, academic space or residence halls - and the entire schedule or plan for renovation or when it was last renovated so that they can have a good perception of what's needed versus what's been done. Mr. McNear responded that he will be able to provide that to her.

Regent Moyer asked if Mr. McNear could give a sense of occupancy rates in all the dorms that they have. Mr. McNear said that he could.

Regent Moseley said one of the questions or concerns he has is that if they are spending
