Dell and SunGard. These vendors offer both discounts and support programs that include training.

Regent Whitehead asked when the university expects to build a new residence hall to accommodate enrollment increases. Mr. McDuffie responded that the university's Capital Construction Plan includes building a new residence hall by fall 2011, which will accommodate 350 beds.

Mr. McDuffie said further that residence halls were at 102 percent occupancy at the beginning of the fall semester. He explained the process that allows students to apply early for housing. The university also works closely with students who apply late and are placed on a waiting list. The university places them in temporary accommodations at local hotels and bears the expense of the hotel bill beyond students' assigned housing fee.

The investment summary report was forwarded to all committee members and presented by Mr. James Faraday of Fifth Third Bank.
