SECTION 5. Award and Sale of Student Life Facilities Obligations. The Student Life

time as the Fiscal Officer, upon advice of the Financial Advisor to the University, shall

designate.

The Fiscal Officer is hereby authorized and directed to cause an appropriate form or

forms of a Notice of Sale of Bonds to be published in the Richmond Register, a legal newspaper

published in the City of Richmond, Kentucky, which will afford local notice of the sale, the

Courier Journal, a legal newspaper published in the City of Louisville, Kentucky, which will

afford statewide notice of the sale, and, to the extent required by law, in The Bond Buyer, a

financial journal published in the City of New York, New York, which is a publication having

general circulation among bond buyers; and said newspapers and financial journal are hereby

declared to be qualified to publish such notice for the Board within the meaning and provisions

of Chapter 424 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes. Such notice shall be published in said

newspapers and financial journal at least once not less than seven nor more than twenty-one days

prior to the scheduled date of sale of the respective installments of the Student Life Facilities

Obligations.

The forms of Notice of Bond Sale, Official Terms and Conditions of Sale of Bonds, Bid

Form and Official Statement, shall be in such form as approved by Bond Counsel for the

University, by the Financial Advisor, by the General Counsel of the University and by the Fiscal

Officer.

Bidders shall be advised that the fee of the Financial Advisor for services rendered with

respect to the sale of the Student Life Facilities Obligations is contingent upon the issuance and

delivery of the Student Life Facilities Obligations and that the Financial Advisor may not submit

a bid for the purchase of the Student Life Facilities Obligations at the time of the advertised

public sale of the Student Life Facilities Obligations, either individually or as the member of a

syndicate organized to submit a bid for the purchase of the Student Life Facilities Obligations.

Upon the date and at the respective hour set forth for the submission and consideration of

purchase bids, as provided in the instruments hereinabove approved, bids shall be reviewed as

provided in such instruments. If there shall be one or more bids which conform in all respects to

the prescribed terms and conditions, such bids shall be compared, and the Fiscal Officer, upon

the advice of the Financial Advisor, is authorized to accept the best of such bids, as measured in

Page 11

4

terms of the lowest interest cost to the Board, as calculated in the manner prescribed in the

Official Terms and Conditions of Sale of Bonds. Calculations shall be performed as are

necessary to determine the exact amount of the applicable installment of Student Life Facilities

Obligations that are required to be issued in order to (i) pay the budgeted costs of the Project and

(ii) pay the costs of issuing the Student Life Facilities Obligations and the final principal amount,

interest rates and maturities of the Student Life Facilities Obligations shall thereupon be

established, as prescribed in the Official Terms and Conditions of Sale of Bonds.

SECTION 6. Allocation of Proceeds of Student Life Facilities Obligations. All of the

proceeds from the sale of the Student Life Facilities Obligations and other lawfully available

funds of the University shall be received and receipted for by the Fiscal Officer and shall be

deposited and allocated as set forth in the applicable Supplemental Trust Agreement approved

hereby.

SECTION 7. Additional Covenants with Respect to Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as

Amended. This Board hereby finds and determines that all of the proceeds from the sale of the

Student Life Facilities Obligations will be needed for the purposes set forth in Section 6 hereof.

This Board hereby covenants for and on behalf of the University, that, unless it is determined by

the Fiscal Officer with the advice of special bond counsel to the University that compliance with

the requirements of the Code cannot be accomplished with respect to a particular installment of

the Obligations, it will restrict the use of the proceeds of the Student Life Facilities Obligations

in such manner and to such extent, if any, and take such other actions as may be necessary, in

view of reasonable expectations at the time of issuance of the Student Life Facilities Obligations,

so that the Student Life Facilities Obligations will not constitute obligations the interest on which

is subject to federal income taxation or “arbitrage bonds” under Sections 103(b)(2) and 148 of

the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and regulations prescribed under

such Sections. The Fiscal Officer or any other officer of the University having responsibility

with respect to issuance of the Student Life Facilities Obligations is hereby authorized and

directed to give an appropriate certificate for inclusion in the transcript of proceedings with

respect to the Student Life Facilities Obligations, setting forth the facts, estimates and reasonable

expectations pertinent under said Sections 103(b)(2) and 148 of the Code and an election, if

appropriate, with respect to Section 148(f)(4)(B)(iv)(V) of the Code. The Fiscal Officer is

hereby authorized and directed to create a Rebate Account (which shall be held by either the

University or the Trustee, at the discretion of the Fiscal Officer) if the Fiscal Officer determines

such account is necessary so that the University complies with the rules concerning “rebate” as

set forth in the Code, as they apply to the Student Life Facilities Obligations.

SECTION 8. Supplemental Trust Agreement. The Chairman of the Board is authorized

and directed to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Trustee in the name of and on behalf of

the University, a Supplemental Trust Agreement with respect to each series or subseries of the

Student Life Facilities Obligations to be dated as of the first day of the month in which the

Student Life Facilities Obligations are issued (the “Supplemental Trust Agreement”), pursuant to

the Trust Agreement and in connection with the issuance of the Student Life Facilities

Obligations, in the form prescribed by the Trust Agreement, with such changes therein not

substantially adverse to the University as may be permitted by the Act and the Trust Agreement

and approved by the officer executing the same on behalf of the University. The approval of

such changes, and that such changes are not substantially adverse to the University, shall be

conclusively evidenced by the execution of such Supplemental Trust Agreement by such officer.

Page 12

SECTION 9. Official Statement. The Chairman is hereby authorized and directed to

execute and deliver an Official Statement with respect to each series or subseries of the Student

Life Facilities Obligations for the purpose of making available to potential investors the

information therein contained, which describes the interest rates and other terms to be borne by

and the price to be paid for the Student Life Facilities Obligations, and such other information

with respect to the University and the Student Life Facilities Obligations, necessary in the

judgment of the Chairman with the advice of the Fiscal Officer and the Financial Advisors. The

Chairman and the Fiscal Officer are each hereby authorized to deem the Preliminary Official

Statement and final Official Statement “near final” and “final” for purposes of Securities

Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12, as amended and interpreted from time to time,

promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange

Act of 1934 (the “Rule”).

SECTION 10. Compliance With Rule 15c2-12. The Board hereby agrees, to comply

with the provisions of the Rule. In order to comply with the Rule, a Continuing Disclosure

Agreement in the usual and customary form is hereby authorized and approved, with such

modifications and additions as may be approved by the officer of the University executing the

same. The Chairman and the Fiscal Officer are each hereby authorized to execute and deliver

such Continuing Disclosure Agreement.

SECTION 11. Open Meetings. This Board hereby finds and determines that all formal

actions relative to the adoption of this Resolution were taken in an open meeting of this Board,

and that all deliberations of this Board and of its committees, if any, which resulted in formal

action, were taken in meetings open to the public, in full compliance with applicable legal

requirements.

SECTION 12. Further Authorization. That the proper and appropriate officers of the

Board and of the University, to the extent authorized by law, are hereby authorized to execute

and deliver the closing certificates, if any, with such modifications thereto as may be required by

the purchasers of the Student Life Facilities Obligations and approved by special bond counsel to

the University as well as such other documents, certificates and statements as may be so required

and so approved in connection with sale and delivery of the Student Life Facilities Obligations.

SECTION 13. Provisions in Conflict are Repealed. All resolutions or parts thereof in

conflict with the provisions of this Resolution are hereby rescinded to the extent of such conflict.

SECTION 14. Effective Date. This resolution shall take effect from and after its passage.

SECTION 15. Copy to be Filed with Trustee. A certified copy of this Resolution shall

be filed with the Trustee

ADMISSION TO COMMUNICATION DISORDERS PROGRAM

Any student who is accepted by Eastern Kentucky University’s Admissions Office may declare their major as

communication disorders (CD). The student will be assigned to a program advisor and will be classified as a

“Pre-CD” major. However, a Pre-CD status does not guarantee admission into the CD undergraduate program.

Pre-CD majors will be restricted to enrollment in the following major CDS courses: CDS 275 and 360.

To apply for admission to the CD undergraduate program, students must meet the following minimum criteria:

(1) at least 27 credit hours earned on 100-level courses or higher, (2) at least a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale, (3) at

least a 21 composite score on the ACT, and (4) pass a speech/language/hearing screening. Once admitted to the

CD program, the student must earn a grade of “C” or higher in CDS 275 or equivalent transferred course before

registering for any CDS courses in the major requirements. Once admitted to the CD program, students must

earn a grade of “C” or higher in all CDS courses and supporting courses. Transfer students do not have to be

enrolled in university courses at the time of submitting an application for admission. The CD program admits 30

new undergraduate students each year. Applicants are ranked by the GPA x ACT composite score. The most

qualified applicants are admitted. Application forms are available from Wallace 245 or visit the CD program

website at cd.eku.edu; telephone (859)622-4442. Completed applications and all required documentation

must be submitted by February 14 to the CD Program Coordinator.

It should be noted that enrollment in the graduate program in Communication Disorders is also limited.

Admission into the undergraduate program does not guarantee admission into the graduate program. Refer to the

Graduate Catalog for information on admission to the graduate program. Students must purchase professional

liability insurance prior to enrollment in CDS 374, 474, and 541. Further, that insurance coverage must be

maintained throughout enrollment in these courses.

Bachelor of Science (B.S.) PSYCHOLOGY CIP Code: 42.0101

TO: Council on Academic Affairs

FROM: M. Tina Davis, University Registrar

DATE:

PROPOSAL: There will be only one graduating GPA at EKU. Effective FALL 2017.

CHANGE: The institutional GPA will be the single determinate for graduation.

All transfer courses will still be recorded into EKU academic history

All transfer courses and their letter grades will still be visible on Degree Works and EKU transcripts for students and advisors.

Transfer grades will no longer be part of the student GPA for graduation or academic standing purposes.

CURRENT PRACTICE: EKU records all transfer course work, displays these transfer grades, and incorporates these grades into

the calculation of an overall, graduating GPA. In addition to that, EKU calculates a separate Institutional

GPA, and it too is a determining factor in graduation. So students, staff, and advisors must check two

separate GPAs for graduation eligibility.

NATIONAL PRACTICE: Per the AACRAO publication, Current Trends in Grades and & Grading Practices in Higher Education,

83.8% of respondents from higher education institutions replied to a national grading practice surveys in

2004 (n= 400) that when determining a students’ cumulative grade point average, only the grades earned at their institution were used. This same survey was administered by AACRAO in 1982, 1992,

and again in 2004. The responses on this same issue were, respectively, 72.2%, 81.3%, and 83.8%. In

2004 64% of the respondents were from 4‐year institutions.

CONCERNS REGARDING EKU STUDENTS: 1. Many students and advisors focus on the overall GPA and ignore the separate institutional GPA.

This can result in students reaching their final semester, met all course requirements, have an

overall GPA of 2.0 or higher, and yet be unable to graduate because they have an institutional GPA

less than 2.0.

a. In the past 5 years there have been 193 students (inactive in Banner) who failed to graduate, and have left EKU having earned 90+ hours, an overall GPA above a 2.0 – but with

an institutional GPA of less than 2.0.

b. Of students who were active and enrolled in fall 2015 term, 148 students with 80+ earned hours, and 119 students with 90+ earned hours, who had an overall GPA above 2.0, but an institutional GPA less than 2.0.

2. Transfer students often have difficulty adjusting to the enhanced rigor of EKU classes compared to

their previous institution.

a. These students should be identified and receive academic support as early as possible.

b. Transfer grades often boost the overall GPA to the point that a student may slide by for

several terms without triggering academic performance alarms.

Action Agenda Executive and Academic Affairs Committee

I. Recommended Sabbatical Program Participants for 2017-2018

II. Issue

The primary purpose of the Sabbatical Program is to permit time for a faculty

member who has demonstrated an above average ability in teaching,

scholarly/creative, and service activities to investigate avenues for improving

academic quality in the pursuit of excellence. This time enables faculty

members to pursue scholarly/creative activities that will strengthen teaching,

scholarship/creativity, service and/or any combination therein at the

department, college, library, or university levels.

III. Background

This revised program was approved by the Board of Regents in December,

2003. Sabbaticals will be approved only when they are in the best interest of

the University, and have the approval of the Department Chair, the College

Dean, the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs and the President.

IV. Alternatives

To not approve the proposed faculty for the Sabbatical Program.

V. President’s Recommendation

Based upon the approval of the respective Deans and the Provost, the

President recommends that the Board of Regents approve the individuals

requesting Sabbaticals for the fiscal year 2017-2018.

Additional Reports to the Board

Mr. Craig Turner, Chair

The Chairman gave the following report:

This year has been an active year on behalf of Board as well as faculty, staff and

administration regarding budget challenges. We have had a lot of meetings this year, which is

abnormal, and many thanks to Regents for attending and being engaged. The budget this year is

$355 million. We will be meeting against on 12/5 to announce the final budget cuts. I am excited

about the construction updates. Moving forward, we need to determine the priority of merit awards

and how they affect graduation rates, retention and performance based funding. Finally, we had a

nice attendance for Homecoming, and we also had a good attendance for family weekend a few

weeks back.

Shirley O’Brien, Faculty Senate Chair

A. General Update:

Dr. Shirley O’Brien, Chair of the Faculty Senate, delivered the following report:

If I were to categorize the start of this academic year, it would be the year of hyper-change.

Change creates tensions, consternation with resource allocations, resulting in visceral responses to

the change process and ambivalence present in faculty voices. Faculty are concerned with

impending changes impacting peers, colleagues, staff and students. The hyper-change to

programs, healthcare, construction and uncertainty of performance-based funding creates an

environment challenging faculty work.

To move toward compliance with Open Meetings statutes, we have instituted several

measures. We are using an electronic voting system for all votes at the Faculty Senate meetings.

Standing Committees have scheduled regular meetings, share and publish minutes on the Faculty

Senate website. This change has increased to duties for all, particularly the Faculty Senate

Secretary.

On a positive note, the DEEP Program has launched, providing professional development

opportunities online for faculty here at EKU. This initiative for Faculty Development is in direct

response to a need existing as a result of policy changes. The learning management system

exploration is in the sandbox stage of review. Faculty are actively engaged in exploring trials at

this point in time.

Thank you for the opportunity to share faculty updates.

B. Presentation on Workload/Reassigned Time Committee Report

Dr. O’Brien then proceeded to make a presentation as the head of the Faculty Workload

and Reassigned Time Committee. A copy of the presentation is incorporated herein by reference

and included with the official copy of these minutes.

Ms. Ann Cotton, Staff Council President

Ms. Ann Cotton, President of Staff Council, delivered the following report:

Chair Turner, President Benson and Board of Regents, thank you for allowing me to

present to you today regarding Staff Council’s initiatives.

I want to start my report on an extremely positive note, and with something we are very

excited about. Staff Council is moving forward in the training and educating of the Staff Diversity

Page 98

Advocates. We had a luncheon meeting hosted by the Diversity Office and our guest speaker was

the wonderful Ms. Sheila Pressley who gave her enlightening perspective on Diversity issues

facing EKU. At the end of the luncheon we went around the room and expressed why “Diversity”

and the understanding of helping others to know how to deal with diverse issues, etc., was so

important to us as individuals, and why we wanted to serve EKU staff in this capacity. Since we

have a very diverse group of staff serving on this committee, each person will bring a different

skill set to this group. Training will continue until everyone feels comfortable enough to be on

their own to start serving staff, and help to teach all staff, by accelerating their understanding

through education. The goal will be to teach acceptance of each other.

I would like to say how much fun everyone seemed to have at all the Homecoming

festivities! Kudos to all the staff that was involved in making the events a wonderful success. Staff

Council was more involved in Homecoming this year. I served on the Homecoming Committee,

and chaired the sub-committee on “Campus Community Events”. Staff Council not only hosted

the Homecoming Campus Community-wide Day of Service on October 20th, which was very wet

but successful, but also judged windows in downtown Richmond for “Paint the Town Maroon”,

hosted and judged the “Maroon Day Photo Contest” (which by the way…EKU’s Registrar Office

received first place), and also had a presence in the Homecoming parade in support for EKU staff.

The week was busy and fast paced, but hopefully gave staff and faculty a short reprieve from

talking or think about budgets issues.

The EKU budget, and its solutions, are on the minds of most faculty, staff, and students.

Keeping morale up, and problem solving ideas flowing, has not been easy at all for most in this

room. Staff Council has taken its share of negative remarks from fellow staff members, but has

tried to focus on the positives, and continues to move forward. Whatever changes are brought

about by the budget crisis, or what future faculty or staff changes are imposed, the general

consensus that Staff Council is hearing, is the importance for all to understand how future

budgetary solutions are and were reached and why certain decisions were made. As Albert Einstein

stated, “Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding”.

I will be happy to take any questions at this time.

Dr. Sherry Robinson, Vice Provost

Dr. Sherry Robinson provided an update on the QEP process to the Board.

Dr. Robinson also noted that the SACSCOC review committee would be on site on

February 21 -23 and requested board participation.

A copy of the presentation is incorporated herein by reference and included with the official

copy of these minutes.


Dr. Michael Benson, President, delivered the following remarks:

I talk a lot about the 3 Ps: people, places and programs. Then, I talked about being positive,

persistent and patient. Every Monday morning at 5 a.m., I get up to get my dose of perspective

Page 99

from Emma, my 19 year old daughter, who is serving in a church mission in Cambodia. To use a

baseball metaphor, the great majority of the world’s population struggles to even make it to first

base. If you’re born an American, and go to college, you have already touched 3rd and are heading

home. We have challenges, but there is so much good happening on campus and so much positive

to focus on and to move us forward. We have things like the President’s Research and Scholarship

fund. We had our first batch of recipients a few months ago. I will be requesting a half page

summary from each recipient in the future to report to the board what the faulty is doing with those

funds.

Similarly, it’s always great to welcome back alumni, and without exception we always

meet folks Nick and his folks have churned up. For example, Nick Page was recruited to come

here and run by Coach Erdmann. He now serves as the controller for Under Armour and got his

accounting degree here. He attributes his academic success to EKU. He has agreed to host an

alumni function at the Under Armour headquarters in Baltimore. He is in line to be the next CFO

of Under Armour.

Bob King of CPE is coming Wednesday. We are continuing discussions of performance-

based funding, but I can promise graduation rates will be the primary metric.

Finally, the budget review committee continues its work. We continue to get ideas from

faculty and staff, etc. One idea that came forward was an enhanced retirement plan. This bubbled

up from our Charis Association meetings. President Benson then yielded the floor to Dr. Janna

Vice to present her proposal to the Board for the Enhanced Retirement Transition Program for

faculty.

Chairman Turner then yielded the floor to Nick Perlick.

Nick Perlick, VP Development and Alumni Relations

In sum, the Development office raised $8.9 million in FY16, which closed June 30, in gifts

and commitments. This was nearly double the amount raised in the prior year, and it was the best

year for fundraising in the University’s history. $4+ million of that amount was in cash and in

kind gifts. Fundraising overall trending positively. A volunteer infrastructure is being developed

and fundraising committees are blossoming up in some of the units, colleges, athletics, etc. Those

mechanisms will raise overall campus fundraising.

As to our communication efforts – we are proud of the new EKU Magazine. The 2nd edition

came out a month or two ago. This initiative represents a partnership between alumni office and

the office of marketing and comm. One other major piece is the new digital communication

platform. We have found a lot of ways to put it to use. We are doing a twice monthly alumni

newsletter to all alumni. We are now doing college-based newsletters on a quarterly basis. We are

thrilled to be partnering with colleges in that respect.

We are trying to build an overall culture of philanthropy.

Some of that is honoring those who have been large, lifetime donors. The last piece is the

overall alumni engagement. Fundraising is probably the piece we are thought of foremost for our

Page 100

office’s responsibility. There is another piece that is equally important but more nebulous and

harder to quantify. It is the softer side of alumni engagement. I’ll try to summarize some

conversations. This is an area where we have tremendous opportunity. We have 100,000+ alumni,

many of whom love this institution and the impact it made on their life. We think of recruiting,

offering mentoring, career advice, internships, and job opportunities. These are all areas we see

as offering tremendous opportunity.

Action Items

A. Resolution of Appreciation of HEWV Architects, PSC

The Chairman again yielded the floor to President Michael Benson, who recognized

HEWV Architects for its outstanding commitment to Eastern Kentucky University and its role in

developing the new campus master plan that will forever change the shape of the University. The

Resolution of Appreciation was read aloud, and the President presented representatives of HEWV

with a framed print.

Action Items

A. Discussion and/or action on proposed budget cuts and academic program

suspensions or modifications

After calling the meeting to order, Mr. Turner yielded the floor to President, Dr. Michael T.

Benson.

President Benson made the following remarks:

The University attempted to have a more deliberative and participatory process as we discussed

the necessary budget cuts to meet the reduction in state appropriations. We involved the University

wide budget review committee, which worked throughout summer and fall. We are focusing on 4

fundamental pillars of the EKU strategic plan: academic distinction and excellence, student

success and focus on student experience, service to our region, and campus revitalization.

Is the result perfect? No it is not. To decide is to divide, but we have endeavored to be

transparent and communicative, and we will continue to do so.

I will call on Barry Poynter to do a summation of what we’ve done campus wide. Then David

McFaddin will present on performance based funding as we currently know it. The report from the

state-wide performance based funding work group was submitted to the Governor last Friday.

Then, Janna Vice will report regarding our recommendations or program suspensions and

revisions.

Thanks to the Board for trust, thanks to leadership team, and thanks to colleagues for making

difficult decisions.

Barry Poynter made the following remarks:

The 2017-18 Budget Analysis Summary and Update was presented to the Board. A copy is

included with a copy of the official minutes and incorporated herein by reference.

While the issue of outsourcing portions of facility services is being explored, outsourcing will

come back before the Board.

In terms of capacity to educate, the likely student enrollment capacity is about 18,500.

Regent Janet Craig commented that the University can no longer rely on the ability to make up

the state appropriation shortfall in tuition dollars. We must focus on stellar programs and student

success. We should increase outreach and corporate partnerships. We need to focus on beefing up

student success and development efforts.

Chair Turner commented we will develop a long-term planning group to look at performance

based funding score card and figure out how we need to keep changing to remain sustainable.

Page 104

Chair Turner made the following remarks:

As a University, we had to cut $11 million dollars to make up for the shortfall in cuts to state

appropriations. About 30 days ago, the landscape was changed. By the Chair’s request, we get to

13 million. If we only did what we were required to cut, we were going to sit here and wait for

something else to happen to us. I appreciate your and the committee’s amended request for an

additional 2 million dollars to reinvest.

Dr. David McFaddin:

The board will receive the written report out this afternoon regarding performance based

funding, along with cursory instructions on how to decipher the code. For good or bad, there is

nothing simple about higher education. This is a complex model.

EKU, Morehead State University, and Murray State University voted NO on the sectors and

weighted structure that are emerging from the performance based funding workgroup.

We are the state’s #1 destination for transfer students. It is vitally important to remain in that

position. We want to capture that 90+ and graduation point. Adult completer and transfer work

will pay major dividends. The operational component is key. The amount of square footage we

have to maintain on this campus is astronomical. The Martin-era buildings are 40, 50, 60 years

old. The Moore building had a major catastrophe.

There is only 5% of the state appropriation in the model this year. But, the model is designed

to handle 100% of resources. $600 million dollars could be run through this model and be

reallocated to the public institutions across Kentucky.

There is a hold harmless provision in the recommendation for KSU. However, high profile

members from legislature and executive branch encouraged the committee not to include those

provisions. I’m not sure what that means for the future of those provisions.

As for now, this is a proposal and a recommendation to the Governor, and subject to and likely

to change.

We spoke to the fact that this new structure is removing the old distinction between the

Research I and comprehensive institutions. We are throwing out 100 years of history by putting

all universities in a pool together. This is a fundamental shift in where we are. In 1997, HB 1 was

passed in which it set forth the missions and goals of the institutions. Those are gone, and this is

the new normal.

We certainly continue to encourage the Board to be engaged in this legislative session. Our

voice must be heard and we must engage in the process. Please continue to dialogue with the policy

makers.

The performance based funding model has to be approved by the legislature.

Page 105

Dr. Janna Vice

Dr. Janna Vice made a presentation to the Board on the recommendations regarding program

review. A copy is included with the official copy of these minutes and incorporated herein by

reference.

Dr. Vice made the following comments:

Thanks to the Board for allowing us time to go through our policies and processes as we

reviewed the programs. There is a list of programs recommended for suspension. We will

continue to teach the content, however standing down the program will limit new students seeking

degrees in these programs.

Theatre is going to redesign to certificates.

These reductions result in no tenured faculty reductions.

The redesigned programs have a charge to be more marketable and efficient by Fall 2017.

There are three programs to retain but reduce costs by Spring 2017.

We will retain and review the Applied Ethics minor and reevaluate in 2018.

With continuation of journalism, we intend to continue The Progress and let it remain

independent student newspaper. We will work with Dean and department chair to see what the

future support may be.

Chair Turner asked Dr. Vice for clarification as there was originally 21 programs on the list to

be evaluated. Dr. Vice responded that the list before the Board today is the original list. There is

cost savings in this suspension, redesign, retain and reductions.

Increasing enrollment is critical. The main thing that put these programs on the suspension list

was the low enrollment and low numbers of students graduating over time. One of the areas that

continues to be promising for enrollment is our E-campus programs.

Suspending programs is something we have done on an annual basis. We would not have some

of our doctorates today if we had not suspended programs on the way to get there. We will continue

to look at what’s marketable and to focus on efficiency.

What’s our current enrollment and what’s capacity with e-campus?

We are currently right at 3,000 on E-campus. The capacity is very great to increase that

enrollment number. With E-campus, its marketability. Our first class started with 6 students.

Infrastructure is fairly minimal except for technology support. The potential is very great, but the

real key is putting the right programs on and getting faculty support to make sure those programs

are high quality. The worst thing we could do is put poor quality out there and get the reputation

to just take easy courses online. Part of this savings is a better negotiation with Pearson to bring

the University’s split up to the tune of about $400K this new contract term.

Page 106

Regent Janet Craig commented that how the programs closures is communicated to students

is very important.

Chairman Turner noted that we should continue to look at programs on an annual basis to

stay efficient.

Chairman Craig Turner:

I’ve had the honor to be on the Board about 10 years. This is the most engaged Board without

a doubt that I have been a part of. As well as one that has tried to be the most transparent Board.

Sometimes we may come across as harsh and blunt, but that’s not the intent. The intent is to speak

candidly and openly to resolve our problems. I will make some comments. I am not trying to be

politically incorrect, but this is for me to speak openly so you know where we are.

The financial issues that we are facing today are not new.

I served as finance chair several years before assuming the role as Chairman of the Board of

Regents. During those early years, I realized that we needed to reevaluate our academic programs,

expenditures, enrollment and revenue models. I was concerned about the repeated use of one-time

money to balance our budget and help meet our needs.

When I became Chairman in 2013, the Board of Regents instituted a voluntary budget

reallocation based on some of these concerns. Part of the plan at that time was to institute an in

depth academic program review which did not occur. The sacrifice of the 2013 efforts primarily

impacted staff positions.

We generated revenue to improve our facilities and provide some long overdue wage increases.

We reallocated funding for student success measures including scholarship dollars and our

enrollment, graduation and retention rates have all improved. In 2015-2016, we attained the

highest enrollment in the history of the University. 2016-2017 saw the second highest enrollment

in the history of the University. During that time we have had the most academically prepared

classes in EKU history.

As I look back to February 8, 2013, I was quoted in a press release as stating:

“My goal as Board chair is to help Eastern run more efficiently … create resources that give

people the tools to do it better. We have to figure out ways to be better stewards and concentrate

on what we do best. We want to be sure our hallmark programs remain centers of excellence …

and take the programs that aren’t working well and re-evaluate them.”

In life we all face unknown elements that can affect our health, finances, or quality of life that

are outside of our control. In late 2015 it was anticipated that higher education would receive

additional funding as it had been reduced since 2008. Instead, the 2016 legislative session

mandated that higher education budgets be cut - not only for the upcoming fiscal years but money

was immediately withheld from the current year’s previously approved budget.

Page 107

The landscape of higher education changed on Election Day 2016. All Kentucky public

university budgets were adjusted to assist in shoring up the Commonwealth’s failing pension

system.

In addition to these drastic budget cuts, University Presidents were notified that Performance

Based Funding would be the new metric for higher education. These measures alone are predicted

to be the most sweeping changes to state allocations in our history.

Since Eastern Kentucky University’s inception in 1874, it has survived World Wars, the Great

Depression, the Civil Rights Movement and other political and social unrest. As has always been

the case, we will prevail and assure that EKU is here to serve future generations.

Today we have two options.

Option 1:

Do nothing and continue “business as usual”.

If we cannot recruit, retain and graduate students from our programs and offer needed student

support, we will not survive under the new performance based funding.

Option 2:

We deal with the facts as they have been presented to us and we accept the new rules and

ADAPT. State allocation for higher education will continue to decline. It is a fact that the changes

to state funding brought new urgency to the need for the program review process. Program review

is necessary so that we are making the progress toward graduation required for us to secure the

most funding.

Underperforming means a cut in funding for the entire university. The Board of Regents was

expecting more program cuts based upon their impact on performance based funding. The

President and Provost asked us to consider their recommendation and their commitment to work

with Deans and Chairs to continually revise programs to make them more aligned with demand

and be more marketable.

We are at a point in time that not making decisions will place us in harm’s way. In April, when

the University began the 2016-2018 budget review, we committed to engage all sectors of the

University and agreed not to make abrupt decisions without input from all parties. To my

knowledge, other Universities completed this process quickly and instituted their decisions. Eight

months later, we are the only Kentucky university that has not completed their plan.

As I look back, our decision to engage all parties has not had the success that I had hoped. I

believe that the longer the process continued, some individuals in leadership roles became

frustrated about the dynamics of mandatory change, and thus became angry. They lost focus on

the task at hand and began looking at other sectors of the University to complete their financial

task.

Page 108

Nearly eight months after we began this process, I was disappointed that the Faculty Senate

Resolution took the position of offering no direction in program suspension/modification until they

saw and evaluated what other sectors were contributing.

We cannot opt out of making these decisions and if you don’t participate, you have lost your

voice. If you cannot contribute to a plan to succeed, you are planning to fail. To thrive in the era

of performance funding we have to set new standards for success.

We cannot get through these times building walls. Walls give you a sense of protection, but

they also separate…they divide and they can block out what’s going on around you.

Our #1 priority is our students’ academic success. Every student in a program that is

recommended for suspension will be able to complete that program or we can help them find

another degree path.

I am an advocate of a University that has stellar academic standing as well as a vibrant campus

life which includes housing, community engagement, Greek life, clubs and competitive athletics

teams.

Over the past 5 years, we have increased Academic Scholarships $10M with an additional

$2.8M budgeted in the next fiscal year. The total amount of academic financial aid in 2017-2018

will be over $33M.

I am aware of commentary that reflects a division between academics and athletics. I would

like to clarify the position of the Board of Regents on this matter.

The 2017-2018 Athletics Operating Budget is approx. $8M. This comprises only 2% of the

$355M University budget. Athletic scholarships total $6M annually. These student athletes’

GPAs, retention rates, graduation rates, and percentage of under-represented minorities are

primary factors in performance based funding and exceed the general student body averages.

Additional reductions from the athletics budget would NOT save academic programs. Part of

our strategic plan includes an explicit statement that EKU will review programs and make

investments in those programs attracting students, producing graduates, and bringing renown to

the University. Athletics contributes to all of these.

As a Board of Regents, we continue to support all students. They are the reason for the

University. This commitment is unwavering and we are proud of the stellar academic and athletic

accomplishments of these young people. The suggestion that we suspend Athletics is not an

option. We are committed to our student athletes and the value they bring. It is important that we

remain Eastern Kentucky University and not Eastern Kentucky Community College.

Our original task was to meet the $11M reduction based upon the new state allocation.

However, we have increased the amount of dollars to be generated by the budget reduction so that

we have at least $2M to put back into the University.

We will create a long term planning committee to provide input as to where these investments

will have the most impact based upon our Performance Based Funding report card.

Some preliminary suggestions from board and committee members include:

Faculty/staff salaries

Deferred maintenance

Development Office expansion for additional fundraising

Marketing and Branding

Further investment in successful programs

Additional scholarships

Expand Student Success initiatives

Programs that bring regional and national attention

Entrepreneurial and Innovative ideas/programs that will attract donors and other sources

of revenue

Increasing student enrollment efforts

New student orientation events

The budget cuts represent the harsh reality of our financial times, the political environment and

the specific dynamics of a failed pension system in our state. It is ironic that the budget cuts we

are suffering are the means to stabilize the pension system that directly impact University

employees’ retirement.

We also have to be good stewards of the investments in EKU. Whether it is state funding,

tuition dollars or a donor’s gift. All deserve a return on their investment.

During his time at EKU, former President Bob Martin stated: “Eastern has had a great heritage.

Eastern is today a great institution. But neither the Eastern of the past nor the Eastern of the present

will be adequate to the demands of the future.”

We appreciate everyone’s contribution to this process. There have been numerous meetings

over the past months and we thank each person who has participated. Be assured that President

Benson, I and other board members will continue to make sure the EKU voice is heard in Frankfort.

We have big challenges ahead. It will take all of us working as a team to be successful.

After the Chairman’s report, Regent Richard Day requested the opportunity to respond. The

Chairman yielded the floor to Regent Day.

Dr. Richard Day:

You are not the only Board member who recognized the Faculty Senate’s process in dealing

with the proposed academic program suspension. It’s hard to argue against the comments as I have

fussed against the faculty senate. In my view, EKU followed the spirit of shared governance and

we should do it again when the occasion arises.

The Academic Budget Review Committee did an in depth review. CAA had an 8 hour meeting

where they laborious went through program after program. This is the first time we’ve done this.

The Chairs recommended we continue to review regional campuses. The Chairs also

recommended we reduce operations in auxiliary services like CFA, and we continue to look at

that.

Chairman Turner then yielded the floor to Regent Janet Craig.

Ms. Janet Craig:

Everybody’s input is valuable. But, at some point, the buck stops here, and we have to make

decisions. But, I would encourage everyone to continue to work together to give us your input so

we can make informed decisions that benefit the university as a whole. The fact that, just as

Richard said, the fact that we have a voice doesn’t mean we always agree with the outcome. In

situations like this, that will be the case. But, we must keep our eye on the ball which is Eastern

and the students, and I will encourage everyone to keep participating in the process and help us as

much as you can.

With those comments, Chairman Turner called for a motion to support the proposed budget

cuts and academic review suspensions and modifications as presented. The motion was made by

Lewis Diaz. The motion was seconded by Craig King.

The roll was called and the following Voice Vote: Janet Craig, Alan Long, Lewis Diaz , Craig

King, Craig Turner, Ramakrishna “Vasu” Vasudevan, Craig King, Nancy Collins, Holly

Wiedemann. Due to their involvements and participation in the university-wide budget review

committee, Regents Richard Day, Bryan Makinen, Collin Potter abstained. The motion passed.

Conflict of Interest

The Board members were all presented with and signed conflict of interest forms for SACS-

COC reaccreditation.

Adjourn

A motion was made by Alan Long to adjourn the meeting. The motion was seconded by Bryan

Makinen. The motion passed by voice vote, and the special meeting of the Board of Regents was

thereby adjourned at 10:24 a.m.
