Veto power and Leaving Minardi Hall?

[Jason Puckett]

Interesting tidbits from a recent UofL staff senate meeting:

• "At our most recent BOT meeting, we took action to change/approve bylaws of the University of Louisville Athletic Association (ULAA). Their bylaws require approval from the Board of Trustees for any changes. The reason for the change was to give President Bendapudi veto power over the ULAA."
• "There is also a RFP out for a new, 120 bed, resident hall that would be constructed on Floyd Street across from the Kueber Center. The project would be spearheaded by Athletics and not involve and University funds. It would become the residence of teams that utilize the Kueber Center for their practices, i.e. men’s and women’s basketball, field hockey, lacrosse, but per NCAA rules, a minimum of 51% of the beds available must be for students who are not athletic team members."
