Each summer as part of the formal budget development process Louisiana’s public colleges and universities submit an updated organizational chart. A copy of the 2005-2006 Organizational Chart for Nicholls State University accompanies this correspondence. The new chart will not be final until approved by the Board of Supervisors.

The most substantive changes are those involving the positions held by Lionel Naquin, as the University’s chief financial officer, and Eugene Dial, the University’s chief student affairs officer. In both cases the position title has been changed to more clearly reflect the role and responsibilities of the incumbent.

Effective July 1, 2005, Business Affairs has been changed to that of the Division of Finance and Administration. Through this change, Lionel Naquin takes over full responsibility for all aspects of facilities administration, safety and campus procurement. As the chart indicates, however, I will still play a direct role in Capital Outlay planning.

The student affairs change does not entail any reassignment of responsibilities but rather adds emphasis on the recruitment of students. Effective July 1, 2005, the Division of Student Affairs is now the Division of Student Affairs and Enrollment Services.

In addition to the above, the Honors Program will move to the University College as requested by Faculty Senate.

The accompanying document summarizes the rather extensive array of initiatives considered for implementation within the University to enhance services to students and staff alike. This project was initiated during the late summer of 2003 and it has continued to the present time.

This report replaces the accumulation of reports over the past twenty-four months and is intended to provide a status report for all of the suggested initiatives.

Much work remains to be done to further enhance service across the University community. Individuals wishing to pursue one matter or another are encouraged to contact the appropriate vice president.
