The following voted yes on the motion: Regents Humphreys, Stone and Albert. The Chair declared the motion unanimously approved. THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY President Boren began by reporting that the number of admission applications for the coming year is approaching 15,000, when the University has never had over 12,000. He feels this is because of the performance of all the University’s students, including the student athletes being honored by the Board today and the academic leaders who will be honored at Commencement. The President then proceeded to discuss the budget situation, reiterating how grateful he is for the faithful alumni and friends of the University who continued to give support, especially in the face of declining state support, uncompensated rising fixed costs, and close to 1,500 more students. The incredible generosity of friends and alumni make all the difference, and the leading group of those donors is recognized as members of May 12, 2016 35082 the Seed Sower Society, those whose gifts total $1 million or more. Counting the recipients to be recognized today, that group now numbers 216, when there were only eight in 1994. Here to be honored for their support are Judy and David Proctor of Dallas, who have given in many areas but the main focus has been scholarships. One area where they have donated is to a post- eligibility scholarship endowment for student athletes who have exhausted their NCAA eligibility to return to the University to complete their degrees. The President also congratulated the teams present to be recognized for their competitive performance, and applauded the Athletic Department for eight straight semesters where student athletes have averaged above a 3.0 GPA.
