Overview of Workshop Objectives The workshop involved the State Board of Regents, Council of Presidents, and Commissioner's Office staff. Commissioner Foxley presented an overview of the workshop objectives: (1) establish a Statement of Vision for the Utah System of Higher Education; (2) examine, revise, and adopt statements of Mission for the USHE, Board of Regents and the Commissioner's Office; (3) discuss Utah environ-ment (issues, goals), select strategic options, and direct the USHE Task Force to prepare action plans for the legislative Strategic Planning Task Force. The Commissioner reviewed workshop materials contained in the several agenda tabs. Small Group Discussions A list of key questions was distributed as a suggested focus for small group discussions, which then took place from approximately 9:40 a.m. to 11:10 a.m. Regents Anderton, Atkinson, and Cumming served as discussion leaders for the three groups, with members of the Commissioner's staff serving as recorders. Small Group Reports The general meeting reconvened at 11:10 a.m. for small group reports and discussion. Using the list of key questions, Chair Snow called for reports from the three discussion leaders on how each group had addressed the particular questions. The recorders had summarized the responses on poster sheets, which were displayed on easels and which the discussion leaders reviewed for the benefit of the large group. The key questions were: What does our higher education system do well (strengths)? What concerns do we have about our higher education system (weaknesses)? What would be the characteristics of our system if it were ideal (vision)? What are the barriers (issues) that prevent our system from being ideal (environmental threats/opportunities; system strengths/weaknesses)? What must we do to address these issues (actions)? Commissioner Foxley recommended that her office compile all of the responses to the key questions, draft a vision statement from the ideas developed in the discussion groups, revise the mission statements according to further instructions to be offered by the workshop, and mail these materials to the Regents and Presidents next week for review and feedback. When these documents are finalized, it is hoped they will give direction to the planning efforts of both the Utah System of Higher Education planning group and the Legislative Strategic Planning Task Force. 39 Commissioner Foxley introduced some invited guests attending the workshop: Norman C. Tarbox, Jr., who was recently appointed as the budget analyst for higher education in the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget. He has worked in the Commissioner's budget office and is fully familiar with USHE budget processes. David R. Colvin of the Legislative Fiscal Analyst's Office, who provides staff support for the Legislative Strategic Planning Task Force. The remainder of the workshop, including a working lunch, was a review of draft mission statements for the Utah System of Higher Education, Utah State Board of Regents, and Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education. An additional discussion item concerned the governance of applied technology centers. No action was taken on these discussion items. The workshop adjourned at 1:15 p.m. MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE - OPERATING BUDGET HEARINGS 1994-95 Operating Budget Request and Budget Hearings Chair Snow called the meeting to order at 1:30 p.m. and turned to the Commissioner for an overview of the 1994-95 Utah System of Higher Education operating budget request. Commissioner Foxley referred to a step chart of system priorities agreed upon in the May Board meeting, found in Tab A with other budget materials. The operating budget request as presented in the step chart consisted of the following prioritized cost categories: Base Adjustments - Compensation (4 percent) O & M for New Facilities (Category I) O & M for New Facilities (Category II) Other Mandated Costs Federal Mandates Student Financial Aid Adjustments Institutional Adjustment Priority One - Urgent Student Support Priority Two - Enrollment Growth (4,398 FTE) Priority Three - Statewide Initiatives Priority Four - Inflation Adjustment (4 percent) Priority Five - Other Priorities Priority Six - Enrollment Flex (1,420 FTE) The Regents were asked to approve a budget at the September Board meeting rather than waiting until the November meeting. The Commissioner's operating budget request recommendations also involved two areas of policy change for Regent action, related to tuition and fees and O & M costs. 40 Projected revenues for 1994-95 were not yet available. It was noted that the Regents have a responsibility to give the Legislature a message of higher education's needs, but also to take into account the state's ability to pay Following the Commissioner's overview, the budget hearings proceeded throughout the afternoon. Rather than each President presenting his institution's budget needs as in prior years, the Presidents made a unified presentation on the major issues. President Huddleston and President Thompson addressed Compensation/ Institutional Adjustment. One of the biggest challenges in higher education, President Huddleston said, is to hire, retain, and promote quality faculty. The Utah institutions are significantly behind their comparison institutions in both salaries and total compensation. He strongly supported a 4 percent compensation increase and a special institutional adjustment for the College of Eastern Utah and Dixie College. President Thompson distributed a chart of faculty and staff salary differentials. He said when the best professors decide to leave for the enticement of much larger salaries, it is very difficult to maintain a world-class faculty. President Emert addressed the broad issues of funding operation and maintenance Costs. President Smith commented that this is an area of continuing discussion in the Council of Presidents and Commissioner's Office. He said we need to establish a set of firm principles, and suggested that the state should pay O & M costs for institutional facilities--educational and research space, clinical space, and auxiliary space. Walter Gnemi, former University of Utah Vice President for Administrative Services, was present for questions concerning O & M of new facilities which were authorized during his tenure. Associate Commissioner Hatch commented on proposed changes to Regent policies relating to O & M. President Petersen discussed undergraduate tuition increases and the proposal to permit the institutions to retain portions of revenues generated by tuition rate increases for urgent student support, a technology initiative, and funding compensation increases. President Smith described the need for urgent student support. For several years we have had tuition increases at approximately twice the rate of inflation, and we desperately need to retain some of that tuition revenue to support student services. President Budd discussed enrollment growth. Projected growth for 1994-95 is 5,818, with the highest enrollment growth funding requested for 4,398 students and the balance accommodated by institutional flex. The universities will assume 66 percent of their growth; Snow College, Dixie College, and the College of Eastern Utah, 100 percent; and Utah Valley State College and Salt Lake Community College, 80 percent. Under Statewide Initiatives, President Day discussed the technology initiative; President Sherratt, libraries; Assistant Commissioner Lowe, applied technology centers; and Commissioner Foxley, university/higher education centers. 41 President Romesburg addressed a proposed inflation adjustment of 4 percent. In each of the past nine years we have requested but not received an increase for inflation. President Smith enlarged upon these comments and the hardship placed on the institutions. Time was then provided for comments from other groups. Tom Stringham, President of the Associated Students of the University of Utah and President of the Utah Student Association, was spokesman for the students. He introduced other student leaders: Dan Gowon, Student Body President at Utah State University; Andrea Udy, Student Body President at Salt Lake Community College; and Rees Johnson and Cydney Hansen of the ASUU office. Mr. Stringham said the students truly appreciate the work of the Regents and know they are dedicated to quality education. He supported the Urgent Student Support item. He advocated access for all students. He referred to the tuition and fees policy and offered the support of the students in helping to revise it. He likened the support of education to the support of a weight lifting belt. He presented a support belt, signed by all the student body presidents, to the Regents. Dr. Harley Adamson of the Utah Association of Academic Professionals discussed the equity gap, the enrollment gap, and the credibility gap. Don Clawson of the Utah Public Employees' Association said UPEA wants to help the Regents in their efforts to help employees. UPEA supports the 4 percent salary package and the institutional adjustment. UPEA wants to preserve the cash value presently expended in benefits to public employees and to retain the current degree of health coverage. The meeting adjourned at 5:00 p.m. Friday, September 24, 1993 MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE Chair Snow called the meeting to order at 10:20 a.m. The State Board of Regents and Salt Lake Community College Board of Trustees had met at 8:00 a.m. at the Institutional Residence for a breakfast in executive session, followed by a tour of the Applied Technology Center. Salt Lake Community College Board of Trustees Report Warren Neusmeyer, Board of Trustees Chair, expressed welcome. Other Trustees present were: Julie Barrett, Vice Chair; Bonnie Jean Beesley; Randy Foote, Alumni President; Randall Mackey; Michael Martinez; Harris Simmons; and Andrea Udy, Student Body President. 42 Noting that the Trustees have responsibility to monitor athletics, institutional investments, discretionary funds, auxiliary enterprises, and certain salaries, Chair Neusmeyer reported that, to their knowledge, there were no violations and Salt Lake Community College was in compliance with Regents' policy R220. President Budd introduced the Readers Theatre to tell about the many facets of Salt Lake Community College in a lighthearted manner. The readers were: Janet Felker, Larry Landward, Judd Morgan, Curtis Smout, Chad Gibbs, and Margaret Aoki. Vice Chair Julie Barrett complimented the Readers Theatre and commented that it is exciting to know what is going on at the College, with its broad scope and mission. She believes it is meeting the needs of the community. But challenges face all of higher education and SLCC. The Trustees worry about funding for enrollment growth, for example, but are not frightened at the growth because they are confident growth and quality can go hand in hand together. Physical facilities are reaching a critical limit, and next week for the first time portables will be brought on campus to meet the demands of growth. The Trustees feel fortunate to work with a fine president and talented faculty. Working with the Board of Regents, they feel they can meet the challenges. Chair Snow complimented the Trustees and the Readers Theatre on a unique and informative presentation. It is beneficial, he said, for the Regents and Trustees to discuss the comprehensive nature of a community college and to see Salt Lake Community College as the example today. The Regents appreciated the tour of the ATC this morning to see more clearly how applied technology training is an integral part of a community college. Possible Higher Education-related Legislation for 1994 Tab B listed potential legislation that higher education may support or initiate for the 1994 legislative session. Commissioner Foxley said her office will bring draft language for some of the proposed initiatives to the November meeting for Board review in more detail. Davis County Higher Education Progress Report Commissioner Foxley introduced Jean Madsen, Chair of the Davis Higher Education Advisory Board, whom she described as the glue as well as the spirit behind the organization. Approximately two years ago, the Commissioner explained, a group of prominent citizens in Davis County began discussing the future of higher education in the area. Members of the Commissioner's Office met with them. They began to talk about using existing facilities, expanding and enhancing programs already offered in Davis County, and not limiting program offerings to two-year degrees. At the same time, they wished to provide more programs, courses and offerings in Davis County. The institutions offering higher education in Davis County are the University of Utah, Utah State University, Weber State University, and Salt Lake Community College, along with the Davis Applied Technology Center. Their desire is to deliver to the residents of Davis County high quality programs face to face as well as increased telecommunications offerings. 43 In May 1993 this Board approved the name of Davis Higher Education Center for the headquarters of this effort. The main location is in Layton at the site of Weber State University's Continuing Education Center, which graciously hosts the program. Liaison with the institutions of higher education and the Davis Higher Education Advisory Board is provided by Lou Jean Flint of the Commissioner's Office. Commissioner Foxley said she believes this is a very cost-effective way of addressing higher education needs in Davis County. Mrs. Madsen introduced other members of the Davis Higher Education Advisory Board, whose names are listed on the roll. She thanked the Regents for their support and encouragement of the direction being taken in Davis County. We have to be prepared to ensure every high school graduate access to higher education, she said. She also thanked Commissioner Foxley for her leadership, Regent LeFevre for representing the Regents and the Clearfield Chamber of Commerce on the advisory board, the university and college presidents and Davis ATC superintendent for their leadership, and the Senators and Representatives for their support. The advisory board believes this center can become a model for delivering education. She clarified that degrees are granted by the offering institutions. The focus is on the entering student but also on baccalaureate and even graduate degrees. She also thanked the Regents for being willing to consider the possibility of a "land bank" in Davis County. The meeting of the Committee of the Whole adjourned at 11:08 a.m. Immediately following, there was a photo session for the Davis Higher Education Advisory Board and the presidents of the providing institutions. Meetings of the Board standing committees took place from approximately 11:20 a.m. to 2:25 p.m., with brief breaks by both committees for a buffet lunch. REGULAR MEETING OF THE STATE BOARD OF REGENTS Chair Snow called the meeting to order at 2:40 p.m. Reports of Board Committees Program and Planning Committee Weber State University Request to Establish an Office of University Counsel. Weber State University requested approval of the establishment of an Office of Legal Counsel pursuant to the terms of Board policy R135, Institutional Legal Counsel in the System of Higher Education. Chair LeFevre reported that the Program and Planning Committee discussed the request but decided there needed to be additional research and dialogue on the whole issue of institutional legal counsel before taking any action. He moved that the Regents table the item, which Regent Cumming seconded and the Board unanimously adopted. 44 Weber State University and Salt Lake Community College: Revised Mission Statements. Draft mission statements for the Utah System of Higher Education, State Board of Regents, and Office of the Commissioner were contained in Tab D and were considered during the strategic planning workshop held September 23. Revisions to these draft statements will be prepared for Board action at the November meeting. Also in Tab D were revised mission statements for Weber State University and Salt Lake Community College. Minor changes in the WSU mission were submitted as part of the institution's strategic planning process. Since SLCC is currently undergoing accreditation review by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges, institutional officials requested that the newly revised mission statement be examined and approved by the Regents. Chair LeFevre offered a motion that the Regents approve the new mission statements for Weber State University and Salt Lake Community College, which Regent Lee seconded and the Board unanimously adopted. They are as follows WEBER STATE UNIVERSITY MISSION STATEMENT Weber State University provides learning opportunities appropriate to a comprehensive institution of higher education, welcoming participants from all regions, nations, and cultures. The chief mission of the University is to meet the educational needs of Utah through roles assigned by the State Board of Regents in the liberal arts and sciences and a variety of vocations and professions. Primarily committed to quality undergraduate education, the University offers degree programs which include some advanced professional preparation. Students are admitted on the basis of demonstrated competence in skills that assure a reasonable chance of success in both college and career. Curricular and co-curricular programs emphasize further development of such skills, together with acquisition of knowledge and development of character. Eligibility for degrees requires meeting established standards of competence through outcomes assessment. Instructional programs are designed to prepare students for immediate employment or further study, at the same time equipping them through liberal education for lifelong learning in a changing world. The process of learning is emphasized, as well as accumulation of knowledge. Organized around traditional disciplines, the University also cultivates opportunities for faculty and students to transcend disciplinary boundaries. Extensive personal contact and support among students, faculty, and staff creates an enriched learning environment both in and out of the classroom. Weber State University responds to the changing global environment through innovative and conventional instruction, public service activities, and continuous improvement of its programs. To ensure 45 vitality for effective teaching and service, the University engages in scholarship, research, artistic expression, and other professional pursuits. The University serves as a cultural center for its region and seeks to be a leader in addressing the particular needs of its diverse students, improving public education, and stimulating economic development through appropriate, learning-oriented partnerships with the community. SALT LAKE COMMUNITY COLLEGE MISSION STATEMENT OUR MISSION IS EDUCATION Salt Lake Community College is a multi-campus, comprehensive institution serving a diverse population through lifelong education. Our mission focuses on student needs in an open-door setting. We are committed to: Vocational and Technical Education resulting in marketable job skills in a changing world, General Education and pre-professional programs for transfer to other colleges and universities, Adult and Continuing Education in cooperation with business and industry to enrich the opportunities of citizens, Developmental Education designed to support students making a special transition to college life, Community Services Education providing services and activities that promote community involvement, and to student services which support education and promote responsible choices through college-wide programs and activities. College of Eastern Utah Academic Freedom, Professional Responsibility, and Tenure Document. The College of Eastern Utah sought Board approval of its policy of the same name pursuant to the Board's policy R481, Academic Freedom, Professional Responsibility, and Tenure. The CEU policy, as approved by the Board of Trustees, was attached in Tab E. It was in substantive agreement with the guidelines, although more definitive. Chair LeFevre moved that, pursuant to policy R481, the Board approve the College of Eastern Utah's policy on Academic Freedom, Professional Responsi-bility, and Tenure. Regent Anderton seconded the motion and it was unanimously adopted. University of Utah: Bachelor of Science Degree Program in Environmental Earth Science. University of Utah officials proposed to initiate a Bachelor of Science Degree Program in Environmental Earth Science, beginning Fall 1993, to 46 be administered by the Department of Geology and Geophysics in the College of Science. The proposal was contained in Tab F as a nonaction item. However, Chair LeFevre reported that it received very positive support in Committee, and he moved to change it to an action item. Regent Anderton seconded the motion and it was unanimously adopted. Chair LeFevre then offered a motion to approve the Bachelor of Science Degree Program in Environmental Earth Science at the University of Utah, beginning Fall 1993, which Regent Anderton seconded and the Board of Regents unanimously adopted. Salt Lake Community College: Associate of Applied Science Registered Nursing Program at Davis Applied Technology Center. Officials at Salt Lake Community College proposed to initiate an Associate of Applied Science Registered Nursing Program (ADN) at the Davis Applied Technology Center, where SLCC already has a Licensed Practical Nursing Program (LPN). Chair LeFevre reported there was discussion in Committee regarding the value of an additional associate degree nursing program because of declining need for training at this level. The proposal was on the agenda as a nonaction item (Tab G), and the Committee requested that additional information be gathered before it becomes an action item, in order to decide if it is really needed Salt Lake Community College: Associate of Science Degree Program in Environmental Hazardous Materials Technology. Chair LeFevre reported that the Committee reviewed the nonaction report in Tab H concerning Salt Lake Community College's request for authorization to offer an Associate of Science degree in Environmental Hazardous Materials Technology. The demand for trained specialists in this area has increased dramatically and there is a demonstrated need for both associate degree technician-level training and short-term specific course training for individuals who are already employed by companies. Chair LeFevre offered a motion to move the proposal to the action calendar, which Regent Anderton seconded and the Board unanimously adopted. Chair LeFevre then offered a motion to authorize Salt Lake Community College to offer an Associate of Science degree program for Environmental Hazardous Materials Technology. Regent Lee seconded the motion and it was unanimously adopted. Consent Calendar, Program and Planning Committee. In discussing this item, the Committee requested that additional clarification and rationale be provided in the future for proposed name changes and other items on the Consent Calendar. Chair LeFevre moved approval of the Consent Calendar, seconded by Regent Cumming and unanimously adopted. The following items were approved: University of Utah: Name change from the Department of Anatomy to the Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy 47 Utah State University: 1. Name change from the Department of Home Economics and Consumer Education to the Department of Human Environment with sub-programs in Apparel Merchandising, Interior Design, Consumer Sciences, and Home Economics Education 2. Discontinue the options of Fruit and Vegetable Production and Business in the B.S. Degree in Horticulture 3. Add the options of General Horticulture and Horticulture Science in the B.S. Degree in Horticulture 4. Change the name of the B.S. Degree in Agronomy to the B.S. Degree in Crop Science with options in Agronomy and Biotechnology/Research 5. Change the name of the B.S. Degree in Plants and Soils Sciences to the B.S. Degree in Environmental Soil/Water Science Weber State University: Combine the existing minors of Health Education Minor and Health Education Teaching Minor, and the Community and Occupational Health Promotion Minor into a revised, single minor titled Health Promotion Minor Southern Utah University: Approve a Biology Teaching Major Salt Lake Community College: 1. Change the names of the following schools: School of Business and Technology to School of Business and Industr School of Occupational Education to School of Technology 2. Change the names of the following divisions: Within the School of Business and Industry: Division of Business Systems to Division of Business Administration Division of Technology to Division of Industry and Information Within the School of Technology: Division of Construction and Services to Division of Technical Specialties Division of Mechanics to Division of Mechanical Technology 48 Within the School of Humanities and Sciences: Division of Science to Division of Mathematics and Physical Sciences Division of Humanities III to Division of Humanities Division of Education, Fine Arts, Languages, and Social Sciences to Division of Biological and Social Sciences 3. Change the names of the following programs Within the School of Business and Industry: General Office Occupations to Secretarial Technology Secretary to Secretarial Desktop Publishing Transportation Management to Logistics Management Within the School of Technology: Architectural Technology to Architectural CAD Technology Medical Laboratory Sciences to Medical Laboratory Technology Within the School of Continuing and Community Education: Center for Economic Development to Advanced Technology Center 4. Create the following new units: Within the School of Continuing and Community Education: University Center Within the School of Technology: Division of Electro-Mechanical Technology Access and Efficiency Initiatives. The Access and Efficiency Initiatives as updated to the July 1993 meeting were attached in Tab J for Regent review. While there were no specific changes in the status of these issues, it was noted they were being widely discussed in the strategic planning and budgeting processes. Associate Commissioner Livingston addressed a concern expressed by Regent Cumming that perhaps the initiatives were being included in the Regents' agenda each time without specific explanation of progress made. For future meetings, the Commissioner's Office will address the specific initiatives on which work has been done and not simply attach the matrix. USHE Strategic Planning Task Force. Associate Commissioner Carpenter reported that the USHE Strategic Planning Task Force met on September 1, 1993 to hear reports from the institutions concerning their respective views of the Utah higher education system in the year 2010, including projected or preferred enrollment levels, planning assumptions used, and any regional or institutional concerns. Task Force members identified a number of key planning issues to be addressed in subsequent meetings, which were submitted to the Regents and Presidents for consideration during the strategic planning workshop held on September 23. Dr. Carpenter said the Commissioner's staff will summarize the issues developed at the September 23 workshop and distribute them to the Regents and Presidents for their review and further input. Task Force members anticipate receiving guidance from the Regents and Presidents regarding issues and action 49 plans. The overall goal of the USHE Strategic Planning Task Force is to be informative to the Legislative Strategic Planning Task Force. Higher Education Technology Initiative. Associate Commissioner Livingston referred to a draft report from the Technology Planning Subcommittee, entitled "Technology Funding Initiative," in Tab L. The draft prompted good discussion with the chief academic officers, he said, and other responses would be appreciated. Dr. Livingston said one of the significant items that has resulted from previous discussions of the initiative is to change the focus from equipment to faculty development and training to better utilize the technology to deliver and enhance educational programs. Additional comments on this point would also be appreciated. State Postsecondary Review Program Agreement with U.S. Department of Education. Attached in Tab M was a copy of a letter from U.S. Secretary of Education Richard W. Riley to Utah Governor Michael O. Leavitt, designating the Utah State Board of Regents as the State Postsecondary Review Entity (SPRE) for Utah. This designation links the Regents (on behalf of the State of Utah, accrediting agencies, and the U.S. Department of Education) in a "Program Integrity Triad" designed to ensure "that institutions which participate in Title IV student financial assistance programs meet appropriate standards of educational quality and integrity." The goal is to improve program quality and reduce fraud, waste, and abuse of Title IV student financial aid programs. A State Postsecondary Review Program Agreement was submitted to Secretary Riley on August 20, 1993, which qualifies the Commissioner's Office to receive $50,000 in start-up funding this year to develop an implementation plan, in consultation with Utah institutions. The Board of Regents and Commissioner Foxley are program administrators. Associate Commissioner Livingston further explained the agreement. While it will require significant new duties for the Commissioner's Office, it should serve to strengthen state, private, and proprietary schools and institutions administering federal student financial assistance programs. It is consistent with Regent responsiblities for Veterans Affairs, administration of the Utah Postsecondary Proprietary School Act, and administration of student financial aid including UHEAA and the Federal SSIG Program. Chair LeFevre moved the Commissioner's recommendation that the Regents be informed of this agreement, review the documents, and provide appropriate guidance and counsel regarding this activity as desired or necessary. Regent Atkinson seconded the motion and it was unanimously adopted. 1992-93 Annual Report on USHE Institutional Grants and Contracts. The sixth annual report on USHE institutional grants and contracts was contained in Tab N. Again the figures are very impressive, Chair LeFevre said. Grants and contracts awarded the University of Utah and Utah State University totaled over $127 million and over $79 million, respectively. All of the presidents and their staffs should be complimented on the work that is being done to attract grants to this state, Chair LeFevre said, for the benefit of Utah's economy and the education of students involved. 50 Chair LeFevre moved that the Regents receive the 1992-93 annual report, commend the institutions for their extraordinary achievements in their efforts to obtain external funding, and encourage continuation and enhancement of these efforts. Regent Atkinson seconded the motion, which was unanimously adopte Utah Career Teaching Scholarship Program Report. Lou Jean Flint, who staffs the Utah Career Teaching Scholarship Program in the Office of the Commissioner, commented on the program and its achievements, as reported in Tab O. The purpose of the program is to recruit and train superior candidates for teaching in Utah's public school system, and to recognize teaching as a positive career choice. Results have been very good, Mr. Flint said. As of June 1993, 1,503 students have participated in the Utah Career Teaching Scholarship Program, since it was changed to the current name and structure in 1984. Approximately 70 percent have repaid the scholarship through teaching (the intent of the program) or money or both; many of the remaining 30 percent are still in school. The program is administered by the State Board of Regents in accordance with criteria, policies, and procedures established by the Regents and the State Office of Education. It is monitored by both boards, as well as administrators at each participating institution of higher education. Chair LeFevre offered a motion that the Board of Regents receive the report on the Utah Career Teaching Scholarship Program, which Regent Atkinson seconded and the Board unanimously adopted. Finance and Facilities Committee Vice Chair Hoggan chaired the Committee meeting and reported the recommendations. Annual Report on Leased Space. Tab P provided a report in fulfillment of the Regents' directive in June 1993 for an "annual report of all space leased by USHE institutions, including space leased for off-campus continuing education programs and space leased in research parks." Vice Chair Hoggan noted that the institutions have the authority to negotiate most leases without coming to the Board for approval; however, lease contracts that exceed $50,000 annually or that commit institutions to leases for a five-year duration or beyond were marked with an asterisk since they require Board approval. Currently there are 129 leases, totaling 779,591 square feet, for an annual expenditure of $5,273,913. Vice Chair Hoggan moved that this annual report of leased space in the Utah System of Higher Education be approved by the Regents and submitted to the State Building Board to assist in developing their five-year building plan. Regent Huntsman seconded the motion and it was unanimously adopted. Salt Lake Community College: Land Purchase. Salt Lake Community College requested Regent approval to purchase ten acres of vacant land at 9600 South and 3400 West in West Jordan, using $190,000 of institutional funds. This parcel is adjacent to the southeast corner of 104 acres of land purchased in West Jordan/ South Jordan for a future SLCC campus location. 51 On motion offered by Vice Chair Hoggan and seconded by Regent Fisher, the State Board of Regents unanimously approved the land purchase as described. Salt Lake Community College: UDOT Land Sale/Easements. Salt Lake Community College officials requested approval to provide five separate land easements to the Utah Department of Transportation for road improvements at the West/South Jordan campus site, for $20,960. A proposed right of way contract and maps in Tab R gave land descriptions. Vice Chair Hoggan said there were questions to be resolved, and the Finance and Facilities Committee recommended to authorize the Executive Committee to approve those easements, with the understanding that private developers of the roads would be standing the costs of improvements. He offered a motion to refer the matter to the Executive Committee, which Regent Cumming seconded and the Board of Regents unanimously adopted. Utah State University: Land Sale/Land Exchange. Two real estate transactions were proposed by Utah State University officials, which Vice Chair Hoggan elected to handle by separate motions. The Board of Trustees had approved both transactions. 1. Land Sale. Utah State University proposed to sell 1.31 acres of donated property at 235 South 300 West in Logan (the Anderson Lumber Mill property) for an appraised market value of $100,000, with a small portion of the proceeds to be used to relocate storage space and the majority placed in general endowment funds of the University. Vice Chair Hoggan offered a motion to approve the land sale, which Regent Cumming seconded and the Board unanimously adopted. 2. Land Trade with LDS Church. Utah State University proposed to acquire 62.9 acres in Kaysville adjacent to I-15 (known as the Pond property) from the LDS Church, in exchange for three expendable parcels owned by USU, namely 14.0 acres west of U.S. Highway 89 in the existing Farmington Botanical Garden (which must be relocated due to widening and construction of U.S. 89 by the Utah Department of Transportation), 12.0 acres immediately north of the Logan Nursing and Rehabilitation Center on 400 East in Logan, and 1.8 acres adjacent to existing LDS Church property on 800 East in Logan. With the securing of the Kaysville property, negotiations will begin with UDOT for disposal of the remaining Farmington property to provide the resources to move the botanical garden to Kaysville. Vice Chair Hoggan offered a motion to approve the land trade, which Regent Anderton seconded and the Board unanimously adopted. DFCM/State Building Board Delegation of Capital Facilities Projects at Research Universities. As discussed during the July Board of Regents meeting and at a special August 30 meeting of the Regents' Finance and Facilities Committee with State Building Board and DFCM officials, an agreement had been reached for DFCM delegation of authority for Utah's two research universities to manage all capital facilities projects authorized by the State Legislature to begin design and construction within specified dollar values of $5,000,000 at the University of Utah and $2,000,000 at Utah State University. Specifics of the agreement, which would be for a trial period of two years, were outlined in a Delegation Plan in Tab T. 52 Vice Chair Hoggan commented that both the University of Utah and Utah State University have their own planning/facilities staffs. Significant DFCM staff previously assigned to them would be freed up to better serve other institutions and agencies. It was agreed there would be no need for either university to acquire additional staff to handle delegation responsibilities, nor for the other seven institutions to acquire additional staff to seek delegation. However, the seven may seek delegation from DFCM on a project-by-project basis when certain conditions are met and it makes sense to do so. As indicated in the Delegation Plan, a status report on delegated projects at the research universities will be presented to the Regents at each meeting. Building Board Chairman Nolan Karras also expressed the desire for Building Board members and Regents to meet periodically during the two-year trial period to discuss areas of mutual interest or concern regarding the delegation. Vice Chair Hoggan moved that the Regents approve the delegation proposal, with the clear understanding that no new staff be added during this two-year trial period at the University of Utah and Utah State University or at the other seven Utah System of Higher Education institutions in order to assume the added responsibilities of delegation. Regent Hale seconded the motion and it was unanimously adopted. Review of Campus Facilities Master Plans - R710 and R714 Policy Revisions. The Board of Regents, under its revised meeting schedule, will no longer visit each campus annually for a regular Board meeting; therefore, it was proposed that policies R710 and R714 be revised as indicated in drafts contained in Tab U to delete reference to annual review of capital facilities master plans while meeting at the institution. The Commissioner's memorandum pointed out that this would not preclude Regent review and approval of campus master plans during Board meetings which are not being held at the institution or institutions being reviewed. Vice Chair Hoggan moved that the Regents approve revised policies R710 and R714 as presented, to bring policy and practice in harmony with the scheduling of future meetings of the Board of Regents. Regent Hale seconded the motion, which was unanimously adopted. College of Eastern Utah: Residence Hall Financing and Leasing Arrangements (Phase II). The College of Eastern Utah requested Regent approval of financing and leasing arrangements to proceed with the second phase of a 200-person student residence hall, which is being built in three phases. The first phase, approved by the Regents in February 1993, has been completed and is ready for occupancy fall quarter 1993. Phase two is projected to be ready for occupancy in fall 1994, pending approval of financing, and phase three is to be finalized lat The construction cost estimate is $596,900, to be financed by a $600,000 Farmer's Home Administration Loan at 6.25 percent interest. The financing plan includes an increase in 1994-95 student fees of $2.00 per quarter (a student fee increase of $3.30 per quarter was approved for 1993-94 for phase one financing). Lease arrangements have been prepared by Assistant Attorney General Thomas C. Anderson in consultation with legal counsel for FHA. The College proposes to lease land to the College of Eastern Utah Foundation for thirty years. The 53 Foundation will construct the facility, which the College will lease from the Foundation for thirty years. The land lease provides that any improvements to the land will be the property of the College at the end of the lease. Vice Chair Hoggan moved that the Regents approve the financing plan and lease agreements proposed by the College of Eastern Utah in connection with construction of the second phase of the residence hall, including a $2.00 per quarter student fee increase to be finalized in April 1994. Regent Cumming seconded the motion, which was unanimously adopted. Tuition and Fees, R510 Policy Revision. Vice Chair Hoggan noted that the Regents' Tuition and Fees policy and recommended tuition increases for 1994-95 were discussed on September 23 during the operating budget hearings and September 24 at length in the Finance and Facilities Committee. The Committee concurred in the Commissioner's recommendation to revise the policy. Under current policy, tuition increases for 1994-95 would be as follows: University of Utah, Dixie College, Utah Valley State College, and Salt Lake Community College, 4 percent increase; Utah State University, Weber State University and Southern Utah University, 7 percent; Snow College, 5.76 percent; and College of Eastern Utah, 5.48 percent. Board policy R510, Section 3.1.5, would be revised to allow institutions to increase tuition above the level set by policy for the purpose of helping to fund an appropriate initiative, provided the total tuition increase does not exceed the CPI plus three percentage points. For 1994-95, it would be a technology initiative. If the policy revision is approved, the University of Utah tuition rate is proposed to be 1 percent higher than current policy dictates or a total increase of 5 percent. However, if the additional 1 percent is not restricted and retained for technology, the University of Utah tuition increase would be only 4 percent. Attachments A and B in Tab W outlined the tuition rate increases proposed for 1994-95. Attachment C contained a draft revision of policy R510. Regent LeFevre offered a motion that the Board of Regents approve the revisions to Board Policy R510, Tuition and Fees, in Attachment C and approve the tuition rate increases for 1994-95 reflected in Attachments A and B. Regent McIff seconded the motion, which was adopted with one no vote from Regent Anderton due to a concern he expressed about disadvantaged students and the need for more financial aid as tuition is increased. Prioritization of Operation and Maintenance Costs. This item was discussed in the September 23 strategic planning workshop and the September 24 meeting of the Finance and Facilities Committee. At issue was which O & M costs should be included in Base Adjustments, the highest priority category in the operating budget request to the Legislature, and which O & M costs should be included as institutional priorities in priority 5, Other Priorities. Institutional requests totaled nearly $4.4 million annually for payment of O & M costs on new facilities. Last year's O & M funding total was less than $1.4 million. It is an extremely difficult issue, Vice Chair Hoggan said, for a number of reasons, one being that at the time certain buildings were approved for construction there was not total understanding about how O & M costs would be paid. 54 Board policy requires the Board to review and approve all institutional requests for funds to be appropriated by the Legislature for the construction of capital facilities (R710 4.5.3). Detailed planning and budget justifications must accompany the request. If facilities are to be constructed from non-appropriated funds, institutions must also submit a proposal to the Regents for approval (R710 4.5.5.2). "Since donated or non-state appropriated facilities require ongoing funds for operations and maintenance, proposals must include arrangements as to how O & M costs will be covered. Possible arrangements might include: (1) separate non-state funding assured through private contracts of an O & M endowment established by a private donor; (2) O & M costs absorbed within existing institutional budgets; or (3) necessary additional funding of O & M costs requested through legislative appropriations." The Commissioner recommended some additions to Board policies R501, Budgeting Definitions and Guidelines, and R710, Capital Facilities. Drafts were provided in Tab X for the Regents' consideration. For the Regents' consideration for purposes of the 1994-95 operating budget request, the Commissioner's Office had grouped institutional requests for O & M of new facilities into three categories: Category I facilities were those having been previously approved by the Board of Regents with the understanding that O & M costs would be funded from state appropriations. They were recommended to be included as Base Adjustments (highest priority) for the 1994-95 operating budget request. Category II facilities included those not previously approved by the Board or approved with the commitment that O & M would be paid from private/non-appropriated funds. The Regents were asked to decide which costs, if any, should be included with Category I facilities as Base Adjustments. Category III facilities are leased and O & M costs are essentially costs of leasing. Increased O & M costs associated with leased facilities should be included in priority 5 as an institutional priority. Vice Chair Hoggan said the Committee, in consultation with the Commissioner, decided that the Commissioner's staff and institutional presidents and staffs should continue the dialogue on O & M funding for new facilities in Category II and attempt to pare down requests, or even delay requests for a year, and develop a policy for the future. Meanwhile, the Board of Regents would approve the budget, knowing that O & M will be reviewed in detail and a new figure inserted, and that we will develop a policy for the future. Vice Chair Hoggan offered a motion that the O & M costs in Category I be approved, those in Category II be reviewed and reduced to the lowest possible level, and the proposed policy revisions be reviewed by the Commissioner's Office and returned to the Board of Regents for adoption of a policy to deal with funding O & M in the future. Regent Anderton seconded the motion, and following questions and discussion it was unanimously adopted. 55 Salt Lake Community College: Update on Science/Industry Building. Vice Chair Hoggan reported that President Budd had briefed the Finance and Facilities Committee on the status of the Science/Industry Building being jointly constructed by Salt Lake Community College and the Union Pacific Railroad Company. He moved that the item be transferred from information to action on today's agenda, which Regent Fisher seconded and the Board unanimously adopted. Vice Chair Hoggan explained that Union Pacific Railroad Company had increased its commitment by $150,000, to $5,150,000, and Salt Lake Community College requested permission to ask the Legislature to increase its bonding commitment by a like amount, from $5,000,000 to $5,150,000. Dialogue is continuing with Union Pacific, and Salt Lake Community College would also like permission to increase its funding share to whatever UP agrees. Vice Chair Hoggan moved to grant the requested permission, which Regent Hale seconded and the Regents unanimously adopted. Consent Calendar, Budget and Finance Committee. On motion offered by Vice Chair Hoggan and seconded by Regent Hale, the Regents unanimously approved the following items on the Budget and Finance Committee Consent Calendar: 1. OCHE Monthly Investment Report, 1993-94 2. OCHE Yearly Investment Report, 1992-93 3. OCHE Personnel Policy Revisions Two new policies were approved for inclusion in the State Board of Regents Policies and Procedures Manual, both of which describe current practices: a. R912, Transfer of System Institution Employees to the Office of the Commissioner b. R914, Personnel Orientation for Permanent Employees One current policy was revised: c. R944, Pay Authorizations and Changes in Salary, Rank, or Account Number 1994-95 Operating Budget Request. Tab A contained the 1994-95 operating budget request recommendations prepared by the Commissioner for Board of Regents action. These recommendations formed the basis of the September 23 budget hearing. Vice Chair Hoggan said the Finance and Facilities Committee took no final action on Tab A but submitted it to such disposition as the Committee of the Whole wished to take. Associate Commissioner Hatch commented on two budget items. The tuition increase of 5 percent recommended for the University of Utah is contingent upon legislative approval and funding of the proposed technology initiative. Regent approval of the operation and maintenance segment of the budget request will be 56 finalized at the November meeting. He suggested that approval of the operating budget request include permission for the Commissioner's staff to make minor adjustments as needed. The budget recommendation was for an increase of $50,624,700 in tax funds for 1994-95, with an additional $16,230,000 in tuition. Full funding of the request would represent a 14.0 percent increase in the tax funds base and 13.2 percent overall. Regent Huntsman offered a motion to approve the 1994-95 operating budget request as presented in Tab A, with consideration of actions taken at this meeting concerning the tuition and fee policy and O & M cost prioritization, and with permission to the Commissioner's staff to make minor adjustments as necessary. Regent LeFevre seconded the motion and it was unanimously adopt Report of the Chair and Commissioner Higher Education Assembly Chair Snow reminded all of the Higher Education Assembly to be held October 6 at Weber State University, with the theme of diversity. Participants are the Regents, Boards of Trustees, Presidents and selected institutional personnel. Governor Leavitt will address the luncheon. Regent Zabriskie chairs the planning committee, and Patricia Crane is coordinating the effort. Legislative Efforts Chair Snow requested the Regents to leave time on their calendars to participate in lobbying efforts at the Legislature this session. The intent is to be rather proactive in involving Regents as much as possible. Meeting Wrap-up An orientation workshop for new Regents and Trustees was held September 22 at the State Capitol. Chair Snow thanked the Commissioner and her staff for a fruitful afternoon. He also commented that the strategic planning workshop, budget hearings, and other sessions of this two-day Board meeting were well-organized and productive. He thanked President Budd and Salt Lake Community College for their hospitality and generosity in hosting the meeting. Commissioner Foxley thanked the Regents for their dialogue in the last two days, which has been very helpful in giving direction to her office. She said we all have the same objective in mind and that is to keep the quality of education high for the benefit of our students and for the future of this state. 57 Recognition to Joyce B. Fox Chair Snow congratulated Joyce Fox, Board Secretary, on her recent honor in being named the Earl Conder Outstanding State Employee for 1993. The award was presented by Governor Leavitt in a ceremony which also named her as one of 13 departmental winners of Top Employee of the Year Award. Joyce has been in the Commissioner's Office since 1969, when the Board of Regents was established, and has provided effective and loyal service, Chair Snow said. (Applause) Welcome to Philip V. Bernal Commissioner Foxley introduced Philip V. Bernal, who has joined the Office of the Commissioner as Director of Student and Minority Affairs. He was formerly Assistant Director for Affirmative Action at the University of Utah. His appointment is representative of the increased commitment to diversity, and he will also be working with the student leaders and the student services vice presidents and deans.
