Summary of Carroll College Board of Trustees Action

March 7, 2003

The Carroll College Board of Trustees met today to review recent actions on
campus, including the faculty vote of no confidence in President Frank S. Falcone
on March 3, 2003.

Thomas F. Badciong, Chairman of the Carroll College Board of Trustees and a
1962 graduate of Carroll, said the board thoroughly reviewed the faculty rationale
for its recent action.

"These are important issues that concern all of our students, alumni, faculty
and staff," Badciong said. "The trustees remain committed to ensuring the
long-term success of Carroll College and to providing the very best educational
experience for our students."

To address issues identified by students, faculty and alumni, the board
approved the following resolutions:

RESOLUTION 1: The Board of Trustees reaffirms the Carroll College Mission
Statement and Vision Statement, both adopted in May 1995, and its Statement of Roles
and Responsibilities, adopted in May 1996.

RESOLUTION 2: The Board of Trustees requests the continuation of the
prioritization process. The Board endorses the inclusion of students and alumni, along
with faculty, in the subsequent review and study of recommendations to take
place during the 2003-2004 academic year.

RESOLUTION 3: The Board of Trustees instructs the president to lead the
appropriate constituencies of the college to once again address issues of shared
governance. This process should include a clarification of the Statement of Roles
and Responsibilities.

RESOLUTION 4: The Board of Trustees reaffirms the liberal arts as the basis of
study for all students. Faculty, staff, alumni and student views should be
considered in an examination of the liberal arts core experience.

The Board of Trustees, which includes 27 Carroll College alumni, also
unanimously approved the following resolution, proposed by Mr. P.E. MacAllister,
chairman emeritus and a 1940 graduate of Carroll College:
