Dr. Don Baepler, VP For Academic Affairs I think my chief function is to try to provide an atmosphere where faculty can work together with tudents in developing innovative curriculum. I think that the curricular changes that we have'now progress are some of the most exciting things that this University has attempted. We have chieved an environment at UNLV where students have direct input into major policy decisions at epartmental levels as well as at the University level. Increasingly, students have input on personnel ems such as hiring of faculty and administrators. Students have been invited by the Regents, and re even funded by the Regents, to conduct a student evaluation of the faculty, and I think that this a very productive project and that it indicates that we have an academic community where stu- ents, faculty and administration are represented at various levels, particularly at the University enate where many facets of the University are discussed. 43
