Eastern’s Board of Trustees will hear proposals for purchase approvals, a possible increase in the graduation application fee and a contract renewal and wage agreement, among other proposals at its fall meeting Monday.

The board will meet at 10 a.m. Monday in the University Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.

Preceding the regularly scheduled board meeting, board members will attend a planning sub-committee meeting in the 1895 Room of the Union, which will begin at 8:15 a.m. and will focus on planning for FY 2005, said Vicki Woodard, university spokeswoman.

The board also will hear reports on enrollment, earned degrees and technology, as well as reports from interim President Lou Hencken and other groups including Faculty Senate, Staff Senate and Student Senate.
