UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

In Open Session

The Personnel Committee of the University of Louisville Board of Trustees met at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 13, 2003, in the Jefferson Room of Grawemeyer Hall, Belknap Campus, with members present and absent as follows:

I. Call to Order

Having determined a quorum, Chair Cauble called the meeting to order at 12:30 p.m.

Approval of Minutes

Ms. Brown made a motion, which Ms. Denny seconded, to approve the minutes of October 9, 2003. The motion passed unanimously.

II. Action Item: Approval of Ralph Wright Natatorium Designation

President Ramsey reported Mr. Ralph Wright was UofL’s first aquatic team coach. He served in that capacity from 1948-1966. Coach Wright was also an outstanding swimmer, achieving status as an All-American and breaking the men’s American record in the 100 breast stroke in 1939. He reached #3 in the country for his alma mater, the College of the Pacific. Bernie Dahlem, an Overseer and major contributor to the natatorium, states, “Ralph Wright was a jewel, one of the nicest men I have ever met. He worked us like a slave driver, but he was the consummate motivator and character builder. When you spent time with him, not only did you improve as a swimmer, but you were a better person.” Mr. Dahlem was a Speed alumnus who swam on UofL’s team from 1948-1950. Although the University has held its groundbreaking ceremony, the dedication of this facility requires board approval. Ms. Hagen made a motion, which Ms. Denny seconded to approve the

University Awards and Designations Committee’s recommendation to the President naming the new natatorium the Ralph Wright Natatorium.

The motion passed unanimously.

III. Action Item: Approval of Job Description for VP for Athletics Position

President Ramsey reported the position description for the Vice President for Athletics is comprised of a delegation from the UofL Athletic Association Board of Directors to the Athletic Director. In October, the UofL Athletic Association Board approved the proposed change in title for the Athletic Director along with modest changes in the position description and delegations. The proposal reflects the Athletic Board’s support. Ms. Hagen made a motion, which Ms. Denny seconded, to approve the

President’s recommendation that the Board of Trustees approve the attached job description for the Vice President for Athletics.

The motion passed unanimously.
