MADISON AREA TECHNICAL COLLEGE DATE: July 14, 2014 TOPIC: 2013-14 Out-Of-State Tuition Remission – International Exchange ISSUE: Since 2008 the Madison College District Board has authorized the Center for International Education to work with the Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) to seek out-of-state tuition remission related to the college’s participation in specific grant programs to host underprivileged international students and for reciprocal exchange programs. Hosting these students helps the college meet its goals of educating for global competency by providing rich intercultural classroom and peer interaction. In fiscal year 2013-14 Madison College waived out-of-state tuition for only one student, a participant in the Congress-Bundestag German Exchange program. This program, now known as Cultural Vistas, is a national partnership between the United States and Germany to facilitate the exchange of students in technical fields. This year Madison College accepted one placement of a German student in applied engineering who attended classes fall semester 2013 and then participated in a local internship spring semester. He was placed with a local host family, and was actively engaged in college activities. While WTCS reporting formats require that the “financial impact” of waived tuition be reported annually to the District Board, it is important to note that this should not be understood as lost revenue since these students would not have attended Madison College without the waiver and did not displace any local students, since in-district and in-state students are given priority for admission to wait-listed programs.

MADISON AREA TECHNICAL COLLEGE
DATE: July 14, 2014
TOPIC: FY 2014-15 Legal Services
ISSUE: In 2005 the Legislative Audit Bureau (LAB) completed a limited-scope review of
the use of outside legal counsel by Wisconsin’s 16 technical college districts.
Expenditure information related to the use of outside legal counsel from FY 2000
through FY 2004 was obtained from each district and analyzed. The LAB found
that in varying degrees, all districts used outside legal counsel to review contracts,
provide representation in union grievances and litigation, provide advice to
governing boards, and assist in collective bargaining negotiations.
The LAB issued their letter report in August 2005 and recommended that technical
college districts that do not use a request for proposal process develop annual letters
of engagement with their outside legal counsel that describes the types of services to
be provided and the rates the district will be charged. Madison College has since
entered into letters of engagement with legal counsel on an annual basis.
With the variety of legal expertise required by the College, three (3) firms have been
identified as service providers for FY 2014-15. Annual letters of engagement have
been received from the following firms:
Legal Firm Practice Area Godfrey & Kahn, S.C. General Legal
Godfrey & Kahn, S.C. Human Resources, Labor, & Employment
Boardman & Clark LLP Real Estate, Leasing, Development, Property
Management, & Related Matters
Quarles & Brady LLP Bond Counsel
Administrative staff of the College have reviewed the documents and service rates
and recommend approving the four (4) letters of engagement for the practice areas
specified. If during the fiscal year legal services are deemed necessary for areas that
do not fall within the scope of the above identified practice areas, new letters of
engagement will be developed and brought to the District Board for authorization.
Funds for legal services are available in the FY 2014-15 general fund budget.
ACTION: Authorize staff to execute four (4) Letters of Engagement from the firms listed
above specific to the practice areas for fiscal year 2014-15.

SimMan Essential Bleeding Complete
The Practical Nursing program has been discontinued for Fall 2014/15 and replaced with the Associate Degree Nursing program. These changes require upgrading the existing human patient simulators in the Eastern Region. This request is to purchase a Laerdal SimMan Essential Bleeding complete package for the Watertown Campus. Madison College currently uses Laerdal simulators at all of the campuses that deliver nursing programs. The curriculum has been developed based on simulation scenarios designed for the Laerdal equipment. Using a consistent product across all locations ensures curriculum alignment
throughout the district. This facilitates ease of training faculty and paraprofessional staff to use the equipment, leveling of scenarios for all nursing semesters, coordination of software allocation, student
satisfaction as they move between campuses, and standardized support from IT and the Simulator Coordinator on a single platform of software.

MADISON AREA TECHNICAL COLLEGE DATE: July 14, 2014 TOPIC: International Travel – Wisconsin Chiba Sister State Delegation PARTICIPANTS: Geoff Bradshaw, International Education Director TRAVEL DATES: November 2-14, 2014 PURPOSE: Wisconsin Chiba (Japan) Sister State Delegation & Recruitment Travel # ATTENDEES: 1 COST: ~$2,800 ISSUE: Dr. Bradshaw, Madison College International Education Director, has been selected to represent higher education interests as part of a formal state of Wisconsin goodwill delegation to our sister state of Chiba, Japan. Other anticipated participants include representatives from Waukesha County Technical College, representatives from the State of Wisconsin, and culture and arts representatives. The governors of Wisconsin and the Japanese prefecture of Chiba initiated a sister state partnership in 1990. The partnership is designed to promote economic, cultural and educational cooperation between Wisconsin and Chiba. In 2007 Madison College entered into a sister college relationship with Kanda University of International Studies in Chiba for student exchange. This 2014 visit will be the first visit of Madison College to Chiba. The delegation will include visits to Kanda University, recruitment visits to area high schools, and other related activities. Participation in the delegation will allow Madison College to strengthen its relationship with Kanda University, develop contacts through which to recruit international students from Japanese High Schools, and enhance the visibility of Madison College with statewide stakeholders. RECOMMENDATION: The President recommends approval of this international travel.

MADISON AREA TECHNICAL COLLEGE
DATE: July 14, 2014 TOPIC: International Travel - Faculty Exchange Program PARTICIPANTS: David Kerkenbush, Information Technology Instructor Annette Kornell, Hospitality Instructor TRAVEL DATES: May 16-30, 2015 PURPOSE: Participation in Illinois Consortium for International Studies and Programs (ICISP) Consortium Faculty Exchange TOTAL ATTENDEES: 2 COST: $1,200/participant ISSUE: Through a cross-college nomination process and selection by the Illinois Consortium for International Studies and Programs (ICISP), Madison College instructors David Kerkenbush and Annette Kornell have been selected to represent Madison College in an exchange with two different colleges in the Netherlands. The ICISP consortium is a regional network of colleges in Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa that promotes international education opportunities for member institutions. Madison College has been a member of ICISP since 1996. Each year ICISP selects faculty, staff, and administrators from member institutions to participate in a two-week reciprocal exchange program with partner colleges in Europe. Kerkenbush and Kornell will each host a Dutch exchange visitor from October 11-25, 2014, and will be responsible for developing a professional development plan for their exchange partner. As part of the reciprocal exchange, each Madison College faculty member will travel to the Netherlands and stay with their reciprocal ICISP exchange partner May 16-30, 2015. This program is designed to foster cooperation and partnership at program and department levels, enhance the global awareness of participating faculty, administrators and staff, and build on ICISP consortium partnerships to increase opportunities for international learning. Madison College is responsible only for funds available to each faculty member through their personal Center for Excellence in Teaching & Learning (CETL) professional development funds. Faculty members agree to be personally responsible for all costs that exceed available professional development funds (typically $1,200 per full-time faculty member per year). Exchange partners assume the costs for food and lodging of their guests for the duration of the exchange. This results in a cost effective way to enhance faculty international development and encourage lasting peer-to-peer partnerships among exchange participants. RECOMMENDATION: The President recommends approval of this international travel.
