USUSA Report to the Board of Trustees

Mental Health Week March 18-23

The 2018-2019 Graduate Studies Senator, Kristin Hall, and other USUSA officers joined together for a week of mental health advocacy and awareness efforts. The theme this year was “Sound Body, Sound Mind.” Throughout the week there were events held to help engage students about mental health issues. The highlight events were Light the Night, Exercise for Your Mind, the Stress Management workshop, and the suicide awareness walk.

CHaSS Week March 25-29

College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHaSS) week was an excellent opportunity for CHaSS Senator McKenna Allred and her council to engage with the broader student body about their college.

International Banquet March 30

The International Student Banquet was a tremendous success this year. The International Student Body Council put together a program that showcased the different cultures represented here at Utah State University.

RESOLUTION OF COMMENDATION

Kwok Fai Cheah

Kwok Fai Cheah (“Ivan Cheah”) was born and raised in Malaysia. He has lived in many large cities around the world and speaks four languages: Mandarin, Cantonese, Malay, and English.

From a young age, Ivan displayed a love of learning. He picked up programming as a hobby at the age of 12 and taught himself to program using online tutorials while also learning about basic accounting principles in school. At 16, Ivan developed a fully-functioning accounting information system to assist with his homework which he made available online. At first students used it for homework, but his program was so effective that even small business owners started using it. Later he packed his bags and borrowed money from his relatives to study abroad. Ivan chose to come to the United States for all the opportunities available.

Ivan then chose to come to Utah State, following in the footsteps of his uncle, who graduated from Utah State University 20 years ago. During his time at Utah State, Ivan has been a highly engaged student. Aside from his commitment to academics, Ivan has been heavily involved in undergraduate research. He co-authored a paper with Professor Jeffrey Johnson which appeared at the 51st International Conference of System Sciences. He is a two-time Huntsman School of Business Scholar of the Year and is dual-major in Accounting and Management Information Systems. He was also a finalist for two different Robins Awards in 2019.

Ivan is currently preparing to graduate and enter the workforce. He wants to use his education and expertise to change the world. As he put it, “I don’t really care about money. I want to use my knowledge to make people's lives easier.” His greatest satisfaction comes from knowing that what he is creating is useful to others.

Ivan is intellectually curious and always looking for ways to improve his surroundings. He has been a great example to his fellow Aggies. By being an active participant in his education, Ivan has successfully leveraged the opportunities that Utah State provided him in order to become an exemplary student and scholar. Thank you Ivan for being an outstanding representative of Utah State University.

Chair Burnett reopened the Regular Meeting at 10:17 a.m., thanking those present for their attendance.

I. CHAIR’S REPORT

A. Date of the next Board of Trustees Meeting, May 1, 2019.

Reminder that the next meeting is on a Wednesday during commencement week.

B. Commencement Events (Appendix A)

Chair Burnett stated that each trustee will receive a schedule of the commencement events they are attending. Sydney Peterson assured that all the regional campus ceremonies will have trustees in attendance. All the college convocations will have at least one trustee in attendance; but it would be nice to have two trustees attending each convocation. President Cockett stated that several regents have expressed interest in attending USU’s commencement ceremony.

II. CONSENT AGENDA

Chair Burnett stated that the Trustees received the following agenda items for review.

A. Minutes from the Regular Meeting held on March 8, 2019

B. Minutes from the Closed Session held on March 8, 2019

C. Utah State University Research Foundation Recommends Appointment to Research Foundation Board: Lesa B. Roe [Resolution 19-04-01] (Appendix B)

D. Utah State University Research Foundation Recommends Appointment to Research Foundation Board: Kathryn G. Tobey [Resolution 19-04-02] (Appendix C)

Trustees, in general, were impressed with the credentials of candidates who serve on the USU Research Foundation (USURF) Board. Vice President Cowley explained that USURF President Scott Hinton is so highly engaged with the board and expects board members to be very engaged as well. The USURF Board is a great board on which to serve. Board members reach out to people in their areas of interest telling them of their experiences at USU, then those people are interested in serving on the USURF Board. It is a very active board and meets four times a year.

Action: Trustee Nixon moved to approve the Consent Agenda. Trustee Ferry seconded the motion. The voting was unanimous in the affirmative.

III. ACTION AGENDA

A. Proposal to Modify the Student Fee Board Policy [Resolution 19-04-03] (Appendix D)

Vice President Cowley explained that the student fee board recommendation for an increase in student fees by $10.46 was approved at the last meeting of the Board of Trustees. In retrospect, wording to change the Student Fee Board Policy should have been included in that resolution. This student fee board policy change will ensure that all salaried positions paid by student fees would receive the same raise that state employees receive from the Utah Legislature. Campus Recreation will be affected by this policy change. In order to give salaried employees a commensurate pay raise, the fee would increase $3.68 per semester on top of the $10.46. Vice President Cowley added that the computer lab fee is only used to replace computers in the student computer labs with minor salary costs. There is only one salaried employee in information technology whose salary comes from student fees and they take care of all the student computer labs.

Trustee Hunsaker added that the students voted on the change in policy as part of the Student Fee Board vote. Students were in support of this policy change.

Action: Trustee Holland moved to approve the Proposal to Modify the Student Fee Board Policy. Trustee Hunsaker seconded the motion. The voting was unanimous in the affirmative.

B. Tenure and Promotion 2019 [Resolution 19-04-04] (Appendix E)

Executive Vice President and Provost Galey stated that promotion and tenure decisions received appropriate administrative review and approval. This is a very rigorous process. Promotion and/or tenure for 68 faculty members will become effective July 1, 2019.

President Cockett explained that the Provost’s Office would deliver letters to the deans who would then convey the letters to the faculty members.

Action: Trustee Ferry moved to approve the Tenure and Promotion Decisions 2019. Trustee Nixon seconded the motion. The voting was unanimous in the affirmative.

Chair Burnett asked if there were any other items the Trustees would like to discuss before the meeting closed; none were mentioned.

Action: Trustee Alder made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Trustee Nixon seconded the motion; voting was unanimous in the affirmative.

The meeting adjourned at 10:32 a.m.

Section I: The Request

Utah State University requests approval to establish the Career and Technical Education Division within in the School of Applied Science, Technology, and Education effective 07/01/2019. This action was approved by the institutional Board of Trustees on _____.

Section II: Program Proposal

Administrative Unit Description/Rationale The School of Applied Science, Technology and Education (referred to as the School or ASTE) in the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences (CAAS) is one of the largest and most diverse academic units at Utah State University. This proposal creates a distinct Division (aka. sub department) within the School. This Division will be focused upon providing career and technical education opportunities in Southeastern Utah and be administered through the Price campus with an Associate Department Head from ASTE overseeing the day-to-day operations of the School’s programs. The School has evolved from a traditional agriculture and extension education unit that began offering agricultural education courses for teachers and extension agents in 1919. In 1967, the department began offering certificates and associates of applied science degrees in agricultural machinery technology. The department expanded degree offerings in 1992 with the initiation of the agricultural systems technology BS degree and also officially changed its name to Agricultural Systems Technology and Education (ASTE).

With the addition of Family Consumer Science Education, Technology and Engineering Education, Business Education, and Aviation, the ASTE Department was elevated to a School in 2011. Today, the School of Applied Science, Technology, and Education has retained traditional roots to agriculture but has developed agricultural and environmental social sciences, technical skills, a commitment to the transfer of technology, and innovative programs, such as Outdoor Product Design and Development (OPDD). ASTE balances academic diversity with experiential learning for the resolution of social, economic, and environment issues in Utah and the world.

Currently, ASTE has 65 full-time faculty and approximately 35 full-time professional staff. ASTE has approximately 1,000 students majoring in 12 different BS-level disciplines. The graduate program enrolls approximately 40 students in four different program areas. Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs are a significant part of ASTE. The majority of CTE programs are outside Cache Valley and concentrated in southeast Utah. Twenty CTE programs are offered along a stackable credential route that starts with a Certificate of Proficiency (CP) and progresses to a Certificate of Completion (CC), and an Associates of Applied Science (AAS). The Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) defines a Certificate of Proficiency as a program of study that prepares students for a specific occupation and doesn’t require, but may include, general education courses. A Certificate of Proficiency requires 16 to 29 semester credits. According to USHE, the Certificate of Completion also prepares students for a specific occupation and doesn’t require, but may include, general education courses; the certificate

requires 30 or more semester credits. A complete explanation of the two certificate areas can be found on page six of the USHE website: https://higheredutah.org/wp- content/uploads/2013/11/SBR-Policy-2013-07-19_R401-FINAL-V03.pdf More than 300 students are enrolled in the various CTE programs at Utah State University; the majority of these students reside in southeast Utah.

The School has faculty at USU campuses in Logan, Brigham City, Price, Blanding, Moab, and the Uintah Basin. While technology is beneficial in supervising the diverse faculty, on-site oversight is also needed. An associate head for the School located at the Price campus was implemented in July 2015 with the intended focus upon School faculty in CTE programs residing outside of Cache Valley.

The number of students, the distributed locations, and the expansive programs of study have made administration and leadership of the School of Applied Sciences, Technology, and Education challenging. Crossing disciplinary lines across the state has been both rewarding and perplexing. The introduction of stackable credentials in 2015 has pressed the need for administrative autonomy in classification and specialization of a CTE division with the School of Applied Sciences, Technology, and Education.

Justification for a separate division of CTE within the School is abundant; the need is urgent. Prior to 2008, the Southeast Applied Technology Center (SEATC) provided career and technical education for Carbon, Emery, Grand, and San Juan Counties. The SEATC was equivalent to other established applied technology colleges in Utah, such as Bridgerland, Ogden-Weber, Davis, Mountainland, Uintah Basin, Southwest, and Dixie. In 2008, the SEATC was merged with the College of Eastern Utah (CEU). With the merger, CEU converted the majority of career and technical education programs from membership hours to college credits. For example, the heavy equipment and trucking program changed from a 1,200-membership hour program to a 30-credit university program. At the time of the SEATC / CEU merger, the cost difference between the former and latter institutional systems was minimal.

However, with institutionalization of the career and technical education curriculum, access began to shrink. Soon the CEU application, admission, and enrollment procedures did not resemble the applied technology center’s open enrollment practices. Applied technology programs (building trades and health professions) offered in the four-county area (Carbon, Emery, Grand, and San Juan) were also scaled back as resources remained constant and costs increased. Without a well-developed distance delivery system, the CEU model for career and technical education was unable to meet business and industry needs. While the Price and Blanding communities continued to benefit from SEATC programs, Grand County (Moab) and Emery County were mostly offering a career and technical education program in secondary schools. A differential deficit in CTE programs has been experienced in Grand and Emery Counties. Resolution has been limited as CTE funding plateaued at USU Eastern the past 10- years.

Utah State University and CEU were merged in 2010 with passage of SB69. The merger resulted in USU Eastern located in Price and Blanding. Because of USU’s success with regional campuses distributed throughout the state, the Utah legislature concluded that CEU, at Price and Blanding, needed a better administrative model. At that time (2010) CEU enrollments had dropped to 450 students with retention at 3 percent. Fall 2018 enrollment exceeded 1,500. CEU programs, faculty, and enrollments were equally divided between career and technical education and general education (humanities, arts, and science). However, program innovation was limited and alignment with community economic needs imperfect.

With the USU / CEU merger, all courses, programs of instruction, and faculty were reviewed and placed within a USU academic school or department. Whereas approximately one-half of the CEU programs were career and technical education based, with many corresponding closely to an applied technology college, the School of Applied Science, Technology, and Education received approximately 30 more faculty members in 2010 with addition of the Price and Blanding campuses.

The purpose of this R401 proposal is to seek validation and approval of the reorganization of the School of Applied Sciences, Technology, and Education into four distinct divisions with one division, Career and Technical Education, to be administered from the USU Eastern campus in Price, Utah. Specifically, this proposal only addresses the establishment of the CTE division.

To successfully carve out a division of career and technical education in the School of Applied Science, Technology, and Education, a new structure is needed. The School would need to be organized into four divisions, as follows. See Appendix A for visual representation.

1) a new division of career and technical education to capture all the certificate CTE credentials; 2) a highly structured BS level teacher preparation division to focus on producing school teachers for agriculture, business, family consumer science, and technology/engineering, in cooperation with Teacher Education and Leadership (TEAL) and College of Education and Human Services (CEHS); 3) a division of technology and design to focus BS level program in the areas of communications, aviation, technology systems, agricultural systems, and outdoor products; and 4) a graduate education concentrate for the MS, MEd, EdD, and PhD degrees in the areas of extension education, aviation, community and school-based education, career- technical education, and community development.

Details on the formation of the new division of career and technical education are discussed below. Approval of the proposal is foundational to proposed changes in CTE program design and industry partnership.

Consistency with Institutional Mission/Institutional Impact The Utah State Board of Regents' Strategic Plan 2025 expects to increase capacity to serve 52,000 new students by 20252. To accomplish this goal, the Board of Regents is focusing on three key objectives: affordability, timely completion, and innovative discovery. Utah State University supports and has taken steps to advance the Board of Regents’ plans. USU has expanded CTE programs at all regional campuses. USU has a greater array of CTE certificate and associates of applied science programs and uses advanced teaching techniques that take full advantage of technology based delivery modalities.

The next generation of higher education leaders and students will benefit from a “dual-mission” model3. This model has evolved in recent years with the merging of community-technical colleges and four-year universities. Utah State University was given the opportunity to perfect the dual-mission model with the 2010 merger of CEU and USU. The model focuses on intentionality and a drive to respect the dual roles of a university with certificates and two-year degrees that “stack” into four-year degrees. A dual-mission model, as evident at USU Eastern, results in greater relevance for higher education in rural communities. Technical education, industry aligned certifications, and applied associates of science degrees are expected in rural communities where place-bound students have access to innovative delivery modalities but are unable to physically move to urban based campuses.

Technical education has been elevated in recent years as a step in the pathways to career and academic success. Technical education is no longer a higher education “step-child” or a discouraging route to dead-end jobs. With implementation of the dual-mission model, Utah State University is ready to organize program delivery around occupational goals that serve the local, regional, and state economy, while providing students a passageway to greater skills and higher academic qualifications. The dual-mission model allows Utah State University (and specifically Utah State University Eastern) to optimize finite resources while delivering industry aligned training programs designed to sustain and grow the workforce.

Current School of Applied Sciences, Technology, and Education Structure The School of Applied Sciences, Technology, and Education is currently organized within distinct disciplinary levels. There are 12 BS programs, 8 AAS programs, and 2 AS programs. The School is also home to 3 Certificates of Proficiency (CP), 7 Certificates of Completion (CC), and 1 Apprenticeship program. The expansive list has grown with addition of Family Consumer Science Education (2002) and the merger of CEU and USU programs (2010). More programs were added as Technology and Engineering Education and Aviation Technology transferred to ASTE in 2012. Outdoor Products Design and Developed was initiated as a new program in 2014. Business Education was re-instated in 2016. Technology Systems was approved as a new BS in 2017.

New Program Career and Technical Education Structure The new CTE division within ASTE would organize and administer well focused career and technical education. Programs that would fall within the Career and Technical Education division are filtered by the following criteria:

1) less than a BS degree and not an AS degree in general education; new division includes only AAS, Certificates, and Apprenticeship programs 2) programs identified as part of a career and technical education pathway independent of the current academic architecture – meaning programs beyond the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences 3) programs that have been Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) certified by the Department of Workforce Services (DWS) as workforce development 4) located off the USU Logan campus (typically in Price, Blanding, Moab, and the Uintah Basin) 5) programs and courses that are eligible for the lower division tuition currently enjoyed by students at USU Eastern

Using these simple criteria, the following programs will be assigned to the new Career and Technical Education division of the School of Applied Science, Technology, and Education:

AAS Degree Programs Automotive Technology (AAS) Cosmetology (AAS) Diesel and Heavy Equipment Mechanics (AAS) General Technology (AAS) IT Support and Web Development (AAS) Small Business Operations (AAS) Welding (AAS)

Certificates of Completion (33-36 credits) Automotive Technology (CC) Building Construction and Construction Management (CC) Engineering Drafting and Design Technology (CC) Heavy Equipment and Trucking (CC) Machine Tool Technology (CC) Medical Assistant (CC)*4 Medical Lab Assistant (CC)* Pharmacy Technician (CC)* Professional Bookkeeper (CC) Surgery Technician (CC)* Welding (CC)

4 * Certificates in the Health Professions program to be transferred from the College of Education and Human Services to the division of Career and Technical Education in ASTE.

Certificates of Proficiency (16-17 credits) Certified Nursing Assistant (CP)* Digital Design (CP) Emergency Medical Tech (CP)* Phlebotomy (CP)* Professional Bookkeeping (CP) Web Business (CP)

Apprenticeship Program (Division of Occupational and Profession Licensing or other external licensure process) Electrical Apprentice Police Officer Standards Training (POST)**5

The assignment of faculty and staff to the new CTE division in the School of Applied Sciences, Technology, and Education has been reviewed. See Appendix B for a proposed list of faculty and professional staff, their current roles, DP (department) codes, and locations who would be assigned to the new Career and Technical Education division within the School of Applied Science, Technology, and Education. Appendix B demonstrates Utah State University CTE program scope and geographic distribution.

Appendix C provides approval from the two colleges that would move CTE-related programs to the new CTE division. A letter of approval can be found in Appendix C from Beth Foley, Dean of the College of Education and Human Services. An email chain with approval from Joseph Ward, Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, related to the POST program follows the letter from Dr. Foley.

Financial Considerations Fundamentally, creation of a CTE division within the School of Applied Sciences, Technology, and Education can be implemented through internal accounting processes. Currently, the majority of the CTE budget is held at the USU Eastern campus in two legislative line item accounts that fund faculty, staff, and operating expenses throughout southeast Utah. USU Eastern holds the majority of funding in distinct legislative lines for credit-based career and technical education programs as well as noncredit workforce development intentions. No new funds are requested.

The proposed creation of a new CTE division in the School of Applied Science, Technology, and Education will not require new faculty and staff. Faculty and staff will be assigned to a new division within the new administrative units. As Appendix B shows, the new CTE division would have approximately 33 faculty, 22 professional staff, and typically 10 to 12 part-time, non- benefited instructional staff. Creation of the new division will provide for CTE consolidation.

5 ** POST program to be transferred from the College of Humanities and Social Sciences to the division of Career and Technical Education in ASTE.

The majority of programs to be placed into a division of CTE are already in the School of Applied Sciences, Technology, and Education, as part of the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences. The exception would be the seven health profession programs currently in the College of Education and Human Services (CEHS) and the Police Officer Standards Training (POST) program, currently in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHSS). Please review Appendix A for a greater understanding of the division paradigm and the transfer of the health professions and POST programs. Discussion with the deans from CEHS and CHSS has been initiated with a favorable response to the proposed move. Dean Foley and Dean Ward are aware of the intention to establish a division of CTE within ASTE and the subsequent proposed reassignment of the health professions programs and POST.

No new facilities or equipment are anticipated in creation of a CTE division in the School of Applied Sciences, Technology, and Education. The division head will be appointed from within the CTE administration; no additional salary is requested.

CTE Faculty In-Put Faculty currently serving in all CTE programs at USU Eastern (Price and Blanding) were surveyed in December, 2018, regarding their program and development of a stand-alone CTE division. Twenty-one CTE-related statements were developed and reviewed by CTE experts for content and face validity. Using Qualtrics and a six-point Likert scale, 34 of 37 faculty surveyed responded.

Appendix D displays the 21 questions and the summary data for all respondents. From the information gathered, the CTE faculty support the concept of a separate CTE division and the need for program consolidation. The survey also revealed areas to improve in the development of a distinct CTE division.

Faculty input was gathered in the development of a stand-alone CTE division. Besides the previously mentioned survey, a meeting of USU Eastern CTE faculty was held on December 17, 2018. The CTE faculty in attendance participated in a review of the idea to separate CTE from ASTE as a distinct division. Appendix E is the condensed version of the PowerPoint presentation used to direct discussion with the CTE faculty on December 17th. Faculty unable to attend the meeting were sent, by email, a copy of the presentation.

Office of the Dean

TO: Curriculum Committee – Emma Eccles Jones College of Education and Human Services FROM: Beth Foley, Dean – College of Education and Human Services DATE: December 14, 2018 SUBJ: Re-assignment of Health Professions Programs New CTE Division

I understand that a new division of career and technical education is being form from within the School of Applied Sciences, Technology, and Education (ASTE) in the College of Agriculture and applied Sciences (CAAS). The purpose of the new division would be to consolidate all USU certificate and associates of applied sciences programs. Currently, the majority of USU’s certificate and associates of applied sciences programs are offered at the USU Eastern campuses (Price and Blanding) as well select regional campuses.

It has been recommended that the certificate and applied sciences programs currently in the Department of Nursing and Health Professions be administratively moved to the new career and technical education division. All of these programs are part of USU’s “stackable credential” design. I have discussed with President Cockett, Provost Galey, and Interim Chancellor Gary Straquadine the proposed move. I endorse the idea and wish to lend my support.

The six health profession programs that would be moved are: • Certified Nursing Assistant - certificate • Medical Assistant – certificate • Medical Lab Technician – certificate • Pharmacy Technician – certificate • Phlebotomy - certificate • Surgery Technician – associates of applied science

I believe this strategic move would allow for improved program design, delivery, and review. State and federal funding, as well industry licensure, follow a more precise administration of career and technical education. Gathering all the career and technical education programs into one division makes sense.

Thank you for your review and support.

Hi Derrik and Joe,

The faculty will remain with SSWA. The program will shift and become eligible for an improved tuition model, similar to UTECH. The program, as a stackable certificate, will be group in the CTE family. I have discussed with Scott Henrie at USU Eastern. We have all kinds of good ideas to expand the program. Thanks for the fast response.

Hello Joe Ward, I have been preparing an R401 (abbreviated form) to carve out a division of career and technical education from the School of Applied Sciences, Technology, and Education (ASTE). The new sub-section of ASTE would bring together all USU certificate and associates of applied sciences programs. The majority of these programs reside at the USU Eastern campuses in Price and Blanding. However, we are requesting in the R401 that the Peace Officer Standards Training (POST) be administratively moved to the new career and technical education division.

The POST programs would continue to be part of USU’s “stackable credential” design leading to the Associates in Criminal Justice and perhaps on to a bachelor’s degree. We want to manage the POST program like many of our other career and technical education certificates. Currently, the POST program is offered at USU Eastern (Price and Blanding) with the potential to expand to other regional campuses.

I understand you are aware of our design and goal. In reviewing the draft R401 for the new career and technical education division with President Noelle Cockett, Provost Frank Galey, and Interim Vice Provost Ed Reeve, it was recommended I request from you a letter of support for this move. I have drafted a possible memo endorsing the move of the POST programs to a new career and technical education division. See attached.

I hope I have not over-stepped my role in preparing a draft letter; I am only hoping to save you time. With your input and improvements to the draft letter (I am still an ag major), I would have a clear sign of support from CHSS to place in the appendix of the R401. We believe this will help as the document defining a new career and technical education division moves through the college curriculum committee and eventually EPC.

Thank you for your support. Please call (435 613-5294) or email me with your questions or concerns. Everything is nice in Price.

Section I: The Request

Utah State University requests approval to establish Center for Anticipatory Intelligence effective 05/01/2019. This action was approved by the institutional Board of Trustees on .

Section II: Program Proposal

Administrative Unit Description/Rationale Present a brief description of the unit. Describe the institutional procedures used to arrive at the action being proposed. Briefly Indicate why a new administrative unit or change to the unit is justified. Are similar units offered elsewhere in the USHE or the State? State how the institution and the USHE benefit from the proposed unit or unit change. Unit description. The Center for Anticipatory Intelligence (CAI) envisions an interdisciplinary consortium between faculty in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, the College of Science, and the College of Engineering focusing on innovative, cross-disciplinary approaches to examining the national security, commercial security, and individual security issues that are affecting a broad range of fields and industries as a result of emerging technology. The CAI will serve as a collaborative forum for STEM and social science faculty and as a facilitating entity for the Anticipatory Intelligence graduate and undergraduate emphasis programs (R401s also in process) housed under the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. Faculty associated with the Center will be those with interests in: studying the nexus of national security, cybersecurity, and data analytics; understanding the progressively interconnected fate of the public and private sectors in security issues; helping students in various fields of study anticipate emergent security concerns beyond the training and focus of current discipline and industry leaders; and exploring models of building resilience against emergent threats or the unintended consequences of advancing technology.

Institutional procedures. The concept of an interdisciplinary program that would fuse the expertise of STEM professionals with that of social scientists has existed at Utah State University for at least ten years, first sparked when USU's university-affiliated research center Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL) raised the concept with the Department of Political Science. A confluence of factors emerged in mid-2017 to start growing this concept into reality: a vision for an academic center focused on cross- disciplinary security studies, captured in the term "anticipatory intelligence"; college leadership in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences to champion creation of the Center, and personnel with sufficient experience to develop the Center and associated academic programs. The CAI leadership team conducted extensive coordination with faculty and leadership in CHASS, the College of Science, and the College of Engineering in standing up the concept and infrastructure for the CAI over the course of 2018-early 2019.

Similar units, institutional benefit. No other USHE institution has a unit examining the unique interdisciplinary blend of hard- and soft-science, private- and public-sector oriented security studies that we are proposing in the Center for Anticipatory Intelligence. Utah Valley University's Center for National Security Studies (CNSS) is the nearest cousin in the state, offering a traditional national security curriculum limited to undergraduate students, but CNSS director Ryan Vogel has affirmed that the CAI and CNSS do not present overlapping or duplicated missions and are in fact very well positioned to complement and collaborate with one another. The proposed Center for Anticipatory Intelligence––with its coequal emphasis on national and commercial security, cybersecurity, and data analytics––is unique on a national level. Public sector officials with whom our team has engaged in the Pentagon, Army Futures Command, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Idaho National Laboratory, and Utah National Guard have indicated to us the unprecedented nature of our initiative and have emphasized the pressing need for contributions from this type of leading-edge, cross-disciplinary consortium. Academic directors of top-ranked traditional national security programs with whom our leadership team has spoken at the Bush School of Public Service (Texas A&M), Johns Hopkins University, and National Intelligence University have indicated to us that our model for the CAI represents groundbreaking work unmatched by their own institutions in the critical integration of emergent technology into security studies. In standing up the Center for Anticipatory Intelligence, this proposal is bringing a truly innovative academic unit to Utah higher education and supporting Utah State University's continued growth as a national higher education leader and standard-setter in the domain of interdisciplinary security studies.

Consistency with Institutional Mission/Institutional Impact Explain how the unit is consistent with the institution's Regents-approved mission, roles, and goals. Describe how the existing administrative structures support the proposed unit and identify new organizational structures that may be needed. What changes in faculty and staff will be required? Institutional mission. The Center for Anticipatory Intelligence's model for a cross-disciplinary consortium actively supports USU's institutional mission to "cultivate diversity of thought and culture" by broadening the horizons of faculty and students who want to gain a strategic-level understanding of how divergent sectors—ranging from the life sciences and commercial banking to government intelligence—are increasingly interconnected and affected by evolving security challenges in the modern world. The CAI's mission is directly in line with USU's role as a research university whose charge includes academic research and teaching that "contributes to the quality of life and economic development at the local, state, and national levels." Students taught and mentored by CAI-affiliated faculty will emerge from USU classrooms qualified to help public sector institutions and private sector enterprises safeguard against emergent threats to economic health, security, and quality of life. Finally, faculty and students engaged with CAI research or CHASS's CAI-facilitated Anticipatory Intelligence emphasis programs will be uniquely equipped to serve the public by helping build resilience against future "failures of imagination" that could have life- changing consequences for local communities and enterprises.

Administration, staff, faculty. The Center for Anticipatory Intelligence will be housed within the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and have one full-time staff person, the CAI Program Manager. This FTE has already been hired within CHASS, funded by the college on a pilot basis while ongoing funding is sought for the Center. Other business and administrative support for the Center will be provided by existing CHASS staff, requiring no new administrative personnel or structures in the near- to medium-term. Faculty associated with the Center will do so with the support of their individual departments.

Finances What costs or savings are anticipated with the actions proposed? What new facilities or modifications to existing facilities or equipment are needed? Describe any budgetary impact on other programs or units within the institution. If new funds are required, describe expected sources of funds. The College of Humanities and Social Sciences has offered two-year initial funding, in concert with a meaningful financial contribution from the USU central administration, for the joint appointment (SDL-CHASS) of one member of the CAI leadership and for the Program Manager position. In addition, the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering have helped support costs for travel and guest speakers in the pilot courses of the Anticipatory Intelligence emphasis programs. Establishing the Center for Anticipatory Intelligence will not require modifications to existing facilities or equipment and is not expected to have budgetary impact on other programs or units within Utah State University.

Development efforts are underway in order to grow the scope of the Center over time. The CAI leadership team is coordinating with Neil Abercrombie on development efforts with the state legislature and is pursuing funding from the private sector, private foundations, and National Science Foundation awards including the Innovation in Graduate Education grant. Another particularly promising avenue is a joint application with Utah Valley University for the Intelligence Community Center of Academic Excellence grant, which if successful would be awarded September 2019. Alongside these development efforts, the CAI leadership team is developing a surplus-producing "short course" program—which offers a condensed capture of relevant components of the Anticipatory Intelligence emphasis program—for mid-career Utah professionals in key fields including law enforcement, military, and community leadership. The first of these short courses is due to be rolled out during Spring 2019. 1 May 2019

Section I: The Request

Utah State University requests approval to offer the following Minor: Minor in Anticipatory Intelligence effective Fall 2019. This program was approved by the institutional Board of Trustees on .

Section II: Program Proposal/Needs Assessment

Program Description/Rationale Present a brief program description. Describe the institutional procedures used to arrive at a decision to offer the program. Briefly indicate why such a program should be initiated. State how the institution and the USHE benefit by offering the proposed program. Provide evidence of student interest and demand that supports potential program enrollment. Program description. The Anticipatory Intelligence undergraduate minor is designed to offer students across multiple fields a sophisticated, cross-disciplinary grasp of the security concerns that are increasingly affecting their own fields and industries as a result of emerging technology. The goal of this minor program is to provide undergraduate students with a sophisticated perspective on traditional national security issues, growing private sector worries, and evolving technological realities in order to prepare them to be strategic thinkers in both the public and private sectors. This minor will prepare undergraduate students to be active voices in their own future professions who are able to anticipate emergent security concerns beyond the training and focus of current industry leaders; understand the progressively interconnected fate of the public and private sector in national and private security issues; and help build resilience against emergent threats or unintended consequences of advancing technology.

Institutional procedures. Interest in a program that would fuse the expertise of STEM and social science professionals has existed at Utah State University for at least ten years, first sparked when USU's university-affiliated research center Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL) raised the concept with the Department of Political Science. A confluence of factors emerged in mid-2017 to make this concept a reality: a vision for an academic center focused on cross-disciplinary security studies, captured in the term "anticipatory intelligence"; college leadership in CHASS to champion the program; and personnel with sufficient experience to develop it. This undergraduate minor program will be housed under the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and facilitated by the proposed Center for Anticipatory Intelligence at USU (R401 also in progress)—a cross- campus consortium between faculty in the College of Humanities and Social Science, College of Science, and College of Engineering dedicated to examining the nexus of national security studies, cybersecurity, and big-data analytics and its impact across the public and private sectors. This program has strong cross-campus backing and will leverage teaching by or collaboration with faculty in the Department of Political Science, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Department of Computer Science, Department of Economics and Finance, and Department of Management Information Systems, among others.

Program initiation, institutional benefit. Initiating this minor will serve three tiers of value. First, students enrolled in the minor in Anticipatory Intelligence will benefit by having the opportunity to gain a working understanding of the security issues—including those spilling over from other disciplines—that are affecting and will affect their major field of study and future professions. Being able to flash in job interviews this level of sophisticated awareness about the security and societal issues affecting their field will put graduates with the Anticipatory Intelligence minor ahead of their peers. Second, the broad community served by Utah State University will benefit from employing graduates who can identify potential risks and opportunities associated with security vulnerabilities and who can help build resilience against economically or societally damaging threats. These students will be prepared to be particularly valuable assets to their organizations and leaders in their communities. Lastly, offering the Anticipatory Intelligence minor will benefit Utah State University by training students to be active participants in cross- departmental and cross-college research and project collaboration. This program helps students connect their primary disciplinary expertise to much-needed real-world problem solving, directly supporting USU's service orientation.

Evidence of student interest. The most vivid capture of student interest in this minor is the student cohort for our Fall 2018 pilot course, American National Security Framework, and our current Spring 2019 course, Threats and Resilience in the Knowledge Century (each offered as a special topics course through the Department of Political Science during the R401 approval process). Over the summer of 2018, we at the Center for Anticipatory Intelligence leadership team asked department heads across campus to advertise the minor program and pilot course to top students in their programs. We filled our fall class to capacity with 18 graduate and senior undergraduate students representing 9 disciplines: Political Science, International Studies, Sociology, Mathematics/Statistics, Data Analytics, Management Information Systems, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Plant/Soil Science. In our current spring course, we have added majors in History, Psychology, Family/Human Development Studies, and Art History. We have been deeply impressed by the eagerness and mental agility demonstrated by this cross-disciplinary group of students as they have brought their own expertise to the study of emerging national and societal security issues. Student IDEA ratings of the pilot course in Fall 2018 reflected a raw score of 5.0/5.0 across overall categories with an 89% response rate. We have begun to advertise the Anticipatory Intelligence minor program more widely across campus and have received enthusiastic feedback and inquiries from students across several colleges interested in starting the minor in Fall 2019.

Note: In order to reach the level of rich interdisciplinary participation across campus that our curriculum requires, this program consciously seeks to have a mix of undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in the same classes. Minor courses have been set at the 5XXX level in order to allow enrollment from both undergraduate upperclassmen and graduate students. Students participating in the undergraduate minor and graduate specializations will participate side-by-side in the same courses and will experience the same curriculum.

Labor Market Demand Provide local, state, and/or national labor market data that speak to the need for this program. Occupational demand, wage, and number of annual openings information may be found at sources such as Utah DWS Occupation Information Data Viewer (jobs.utah.gov/jsp/wi/utalmis/gotoOccinfo.do) and the Occupation Outlook Handbook (www.bls.gov/oco). Because this program is designed to train future experts who are equipped to detect and respond to threats that are currently emerging in the public and private sector, including those that have not yet taken shape, its value is underscored more by rising existential security concerns than by current job-supply dynamics. The clear need for university graduates equipped with this skill set is demonstrated on three fronts.

First, the changing nature of threats making the headlines demonstrates that technological developments are bringing complex national security concerns to the doorstep of private sector entities. Prominent cases include the 2012 slew of distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks on US financial institutions by Iranian hackers in response to the use of the Stuxnet virus on the Iranian nuclear program; the 2014 hacking of Sony by North Korea in reprisal for the release of US film depicting a plot to assassinate Kim Jong-Un; and the massive 2018 criminal ransomware attack on the city of Atlanta, GA that froze city services, legal system components, transportation hubs, and hospitals. In addition, trends in data science including artificial intelligence and machine learning are making it increasingly easy for actors with ill intent to anticipate and even manipulate the behavior of consumers, voters, and companies. The ability to recognize the potential of these types of attacks and build resilience against them requires industry leaders who have a handle on the state of play in both emergent technology and US national security and foreign policy. The 2019 National Intelligence Strategy identifies the field of anticipatory intelligence, which "usually leverages a cross-disciplinary approach" and "involves collecting and analyzing information to identify new, emerging trends, changing conditions, and undervalued developments which challenge long-standing assumptions and encourage new perspectives, as well as identify new opportunities and warn of threats . . ." as its #2 overall priority—underscoring the significance of this emerging field and the opportunity that USU has to be an early thought leader in this area.

Second, a pronounced labor market demand already exists for experts in the emergent technology field. The independent, nonprofit information security group ISACA projects a shortfall of two million cybersecurity professionals in the global market by 2019. The World Economic Forum and McKinsey Global cite technological skills, including information technology and data analysis, as the fastest growing workforce needs by 2030. By training STEM students who understand the geopolitical context in which they are carrying out technical tasks, and by training social science students who have a grasp of the state of play in the cyber and big-data spheres, this program is creating graduates that can not only fill this critical labor market demand but go above and beyond current requirements. Our students can bring a sophisticated, cross-disciplinary ability to anticipate the strategic needs of their public and private sector enterprises in responding to the next generation of threats and vulnerabilities.

Third, key public sector entities including the National Guard and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have signaled strong interest to the CAI leadership team in having some of their personnel take courses offered through the Anticipatory Intelligence program. The National Intelligence University, the nation's premier academic institution for security and intelligence training, has demonstrated strong interest in faculty exchanges with our program—as one NIU dean conveyed to our team, "you're a mile ahead of us" in fusing the study of emergent technology and security. This active interest from strategic thinkers across the US government affirms that our concept for "cross-training" undergraduate students in security issues meets a critical emerging labor market need.

Consistency with Institutional Mission/Impact on Other USHE Institutions Explain how the program is consistent with the institution's Regents-approved mission, roles, and goals. Institutional mission and roles may be found at higheredutah.org/policies/policyr312/ . Indicate if the program will be delivered outside of designated service area; provide justification. Service areas are defined in higheredutah.org/policies/policyr315/ . The Anticipatory Intelligence minor program is directly in line with Utah State University's role as a research university whose charge includes undergraduate, graduate, and professional training that "contributes to the quality of life and economic development at the local, state, and national levels." Students completing this minor will emerge from their academic training better equipped to help public sector enterprises and private sector industries safeguard against emergent threats to economic health, security, and quality of life. This innovative cross-disciplinary minor actively supports USU's mission to "cultivate diversity of thought and culture" by significantly broadening the horizons of students who might otherwise pursue their studies in disciplinary silos. Finally, this minor equips students to serve the public by helping to build resilience against future "failures of imagination" that could have life-changing consequences for local communities and enterprises.

The proposed delivery area for the Anticipatory Intelligence minor is only within USU's service areas, and in its current form is restricted to the Logan main campus. The CAI leadership team is exploring the potential of online options for the future.

No other USHE institution offers an interdisciplinary undergraduate security studies program that would overlap with this proposed minor. The largest undergraduate national security studies program in the state is the Center for National Security Studies (CNSS) at Utah Valley University. The CAI leadership team has coordinated at length with CNSS director Ryan Vogel, who concurs that there is no overlap between UVU's existing program and this proposed one and instead has been eager to make our graduate specializations a destination for UVU undergraduates in national security studies.

Finances What costs or savings are anticipated in implementing the proposed program? If new funds are required, indicate expected sources of funds. Describe any budgetary impact on other programs or units within the institution. The four CAI-prefix courses subsumed in the Anticipatory Intelligence minor will be taught by existing faculty in the Department of Political Science, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Department of Mathematics and Statistics. Additionally, CHASS and the USU central administration have supported the joint appointment of one member of the CAI leadership team (also in a role at SDL) to help develop curriculum and teach within the Anticipatory Intelligence minor program. Elective courses within the minor will leverage existing course offerings in academic programs across campus; therefore, in the short term, new faculty lines are not needed to offer this minor. The pilot courses taught over the 2018-2019 academic year have been run as POLS 5890 (Special Topics) courses in order to fund Political Science faculty as the instructor of record for these classes. Minor courses will temporarily continue to be taught under the POLS prefix to cover instructor pay while the CAI leadership team pursues ongoing independent funding (detail below) that will allow instructors from across campus to teach courses listed under the interdisciplinary CAI prefix located directly within CHASS.

Beyond instruction, the principal costs associated with this minor program are to support the dynamic curriculum, student travel, and incoming guest speakers that help set this innovative program apart. The Washington, DC field trip to key national security institutions facilitated as a key part of the required course, CAI 5000, is estimated at approximately $30,000 for a class of 20 students. During the early roll-out period of this minor, offering the DC trip will be contingent on development funds raised in support of student travel costs. The second anticipated cost is the travel and speaker fees associated with bringing in top industry and government leaders as guest speakers for each of the four CAI-prefix minor courses, estimated at $3,000/head for those traveling from the East Coast and $2,000/head for those coming from the West Coast. The number of guest speakers brought in each semester will vary according to course content and available funding.

The Center for Anticipatory Intelligence leadership team received financial support from the College of Humanities and Social Sciences to stand up the pilot course offered in Fall Semester 2018 and to develop the infrastructure of the Anticipatory Intelligence minor. To secure sustainable funding for the program, the CAI leadership team is coordinating with Neil Abercrombie on development efforts with the state legislature to seek ongoing funding for program instruction, and is pursuing funding for the annual DC trip and visiting guest speakers through potential lines from National Science Foundation grants, the private sector, and private foundations. Another particularly promising avenue is a joint application with Utah Valley University for the Intelligence Community Center of Academic Excellence grant, which if successful would be awarded September 2019. Alongside these development efforts, the CAI leadership team is developing a surplus-producing "short course" program— which offers a condensed capture of relevant components of this minor program—for mid-career Utah professionals in key fields including law enforcement, military, and community leadership. Surplus funds from offering these short courses may also supplement funding for student travel and guest speakers in minor courses. Collectively, these development efforts are intended to make the Anticipatory Intelligence minor program self-sufficient over time. Section III: Curriculum

Program Curriculum Narrative Describe any variable credits. You may also include additional curriculum information, as needed. Students seeking the Anticipatory Intelligence minor must take two CAI-prefix courses: the required course (CAI 5000) and one option course (CAI 5100, CAI 5200, or CAI 5300); and two upper-division elective courses in their major field with subject content relevant to anticipatory intelligence. These elective courses (which can be double counted) must be approved by an academic advisor for the Anticipatory Intelligence minor. The minimum number of credits required for this minor is 12 credits; students who are interested in the course content of all four CAI-prefix courses may take up to a maximum total of 18 credits.

This minor requires a combination of CAI-prefix and major-discipline courses for several reasons. First, this program is designed to teach students how their own major field relates to and is affected by emerging security realities, requiring in-depth expertise at the junior and senior levels within their own field in addition to dedicated coursework in anticipatory intelligence. Requiring major-discipline courses as part of the Anticipatory Intelligence minor positions students to take some of their most rigorous major coursework with the anticipatory intelligence framework prominently in mind so that students not only bring their disciplinary expertise into CAI courses but also bring their anticipatory intelligence expertise into their major courses. Additionally, including major courses helps keep the credit burden of the minor low—essential to facilitate interdisciplinary participation by students in high-intensity undergraduate programs that have little flexibility outside of four-year degree maps. The rigor of each of the CAI-prefix courses in teaching both substantive content and hard skills is at a level that two courses are sufficient to equip students with the essential skills needed to apply the anticipatory intelligence toolset to their own major field. The caliber of student progress in the pilot courses run during the 2018-2019 academic year supports this assessment.

The required course for the minor, CAI 5000 American National Security Framework, is designed to level the playing field between students coming into the minor from various STEM and social science disciplines. This course brings students from different academic backgrounds up to speed on the structure of the US national security enterprise, introduces them to the processes of national security policy making, and broadens their horizons on the emerging security issues—many resulting from advancing technology—that are entering the domain of US national and private security. Students have an opportunity to visit key national security institutions on a class field trip to the Washington, DC area and participate in a simulation exercise modeling a national security crisis.

The second CAI option course, CAI 5100 Governance, Business, and Society in the Era of Anticipatory Intelligence, focuses on the emergent security concerns that are increasingly affecting the US private sector. In this option course, students evaluate the potential unintended consequences—positive and negative—of emergent technology and gain an understanding of technology's rising ability to facilitate tracking, anticipating, and manipulating human behavior. Students taking this course will have an opportunity to complete capstone work that puts them in contact with local Utah businesses who are dealing with the "blurring of the lines" between public and private sector security concerns, providing both tangible case studies and the opportunity to network for employment opportunities.

The third CAI option course, CAI 5200 Threats and Resilience in the Knowledge Century, draws on the cross-campus expertise of USU faculty from multiple departments to help students gain an expanded grasp of the 21st century's rapidly evolving threat environment for individuals, organizations, and governments. This course teaches students to assess vulnerabilities in public and private sector enterprises, avoid "failures of imagination" about the potential dangers these enterprises may face as result of emergent technology, and put in place the best mechanisms for prevention and community resilience. Students are trained to become effective collaborators with partners from different disciplines and professional sectors in building resilience against shared threats.

The fourth CAI option course, CAI 5300 Critical Thinking Tools, Communication Skills, and Ethics, trains students in the critical-thinking skills, analytic methods, policy and intelligence writing styles, research methods, and verbal communication tools needed to execute world-class analysis, argumentation, and presentation in jobs dealing with national security issues. In addition, students in this course engage in a deep-dive study of ethics and ethical decision making dealing with security issues, with direct and equal application for students heading into the public and private sectors.

Elective courses within a student's major discipline will be approved by the advisor for the Anticipatory Intelligence minor. Degree Map Degree maps pertain to undergraduate programs ONLY.

Utah System of Higher Education Program Description - Abbreviated Template

Section I: The Request

Utah State University requests approval to offer the following Degree: BA/BS Degree in Finance with emphases effective Spring 2020. This program was approved by the institutional Board of Trustees on .

Section II: Program Proposal/Needs Assessment

Program Description/Rationale Present a brief program description. Describe the institutional procedures used to arrive at a decision to offer the program. Briefly indicate why such a program should be initiated. State how the institution and the USHE benefit by offering the proposed program. Provide evidence of student interest and demand that supports potential program enrollment. It is proposed that the existing BA/BS degree in Finance include an emphasis for Quantitative Finance. The objective of this emphasis will be to allow students to differentiate themselves within the broader finance curriculum.

The current degree in Finance requires 2 courses and then allows students to select from numerous electives to cater the degree toward their needs and the needs of employers. Having a separate Quantitative Finance emphasis will create a path that students can follow to differentiate themselves from other Finance majors.

The new emphasis will have 2 additional required courses and then allow students to select 6 elective courses from a subset of the broader finance electives.

Benefits of the proposed change will include (1) differentiated skill sets (2) positioning for employment opportunities (3) better coordination with career development staff (4) increased transparency for employers and prospective students.

Labor Market Demand Provide local, state, and/or national labor market data that speak to the need for this program. Occupational demand, wage, and number of annual openings information may be found at sources such as Utah DWS Occupation Information Data Viewer (jobs.utah.gov/jsp/wi/utalmis/gotoOccinfo.do) and the Occupation Outlook Handbook (www.bls.gov/oco). Graduates in Quantitative Finance have filled a variety of openings but tend to land in finance and mathematical related positions. Utah DWS lists the expected occupational demand for finance related positions at 3.5% and computer and mathematical positions at 4.4%. Utah DWS lists more than 2,000 expected annual openings in each of those areas. Forbes.com lists a Finance degree in the top 10 with respect to starting salary and quantitative finance positions generally pay more than non-quantitative positions.

Consistency with Institutional Mission/Impact on Other USHE Institutions Explain how the program is consistent with the institution's Regents-approved mission, roles, and goals. Institutional mission and roles may be found at higheredutah.org/policies/policyr312/ . Indicate if the program will be delivered outside of designated service area; provide justification. Service areas are defined in higheredutah.org/policies/policyr315/ . The proposed change is consistent with USU's mission of providing a student centered experience that prepares them to serve the public. Students will be more effectively positioned to compete for employment opportunities and will be able to differentiate themselves from their peers. The program will be offered in the same areas as the existing degree program. No faculty or staff structures will be affected by the changes.

Finances What costs or savings are anticipated in implementing the proposed program? If new funds are required, indicate expected sources of funds. Describe any budgetary impact on other programs or units within the institution.

Since all of the courses within the proposed emphasis are already being offered, no additional resources are needed to implement the change. Section III: Curriculum

Program Curriculum List all courses, including new courses, to be offered in the proposed program by prefix, number, title, and credit hours (or credit equivalences).

Section I: The Request

Utah State University requests approval to change name from English: Professional and Technical Writing Emphasis to English: Technical Communication and Rhetoric Emphasis effective Fall 2019. This action was approved by the institutional Board of Trustees on .

Section II: Program Proposal

Program Change Description/Rationale Present a brief program change description. Describe the institutional procedures used to arrive at a decision for the change. Briefly indicate why such a change should be initiated. State how the institution and the USHE benefit by the change. The proposed name change brings the undergraduate emphasis name in line with the names of the graduate programs: PhD in Technical Communication and Rhetoric and Master of Technical Communication. The undergraduate curriculum has always addressed rhetoric, but the current title of the undergraduate emphasis does not reflect that content. Changing "writing" to "communication" more accurately reflects the curriculum's broader communication focus (to include modalities beyond just the written word), as well as the fuller scope of careers pursued by alumni.

Consistency with Institutional Mission/Institutional Impact Explain how the action is consistent with the institution's Regent-approved mission, roles, and goals. Institutional mission and roles may be found at higheredutah.org/policies/policyr312/ . Indicate if the program will be delivered outside of designated service area; provide justification. Service areas are defined in higheredutah.org/policies/policyr315/ . Will faculty or staff structures be impacted by the proposed change? The proposed name change will bring the undergraduate program in line with current representations of the field as broader than writing only. Technical communication is widely associated with rhetoric, and many of the largest university programs in this field incorporate the word "rhetoric" as well as "technical communication" to reflect this disciplinary connection (for example, at Texas Tech University). The proposed program name also more accurately reflects the research and teaching that the faculty at USU produce. The program will not be delivered outside the service area, and faculty and staff structures will not be impacted.

Finances What costs or savings are anticipated from this change? If new funds are required to implement the change, indicate expected sources of funds. Describe any budgetary impact on other programs or units within the institution. The English Department does not anticipate any costs or savings associated with this change. 1 May 2019

Utah System of Higher Education Program Description - Abbreviated Template

Section I: The Request

Utah State University requests approval to offer the following Minor: Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering effective Fall 2019. This program was approved by the institutional Board of Trustees on .

Section II: Program Proposal/Needs Assessment

Program Description/Rationale Present a brief program description. Describe the institutional procedures used to arrive at a decision to offer the program. Briefly indicate why such a program should be initiated. State how the institution and the USHE benefit by offering the proposed program. Provide evidence of student interest and demand that supports potential program enrollment. There is a strong demand from industry for electrical engineers to have a better background in mechanical engineering topics. To address this need, the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department developed the proposed requirements for a Minor in Mechanical Engineering. The program consists of existing classes (no new classes needed).

This need was first mentioned to us by our industrial advisory board. In addition, the following article: https://www.asme.org/engineering-topics/articles/technology-and-society/does-silicon-valley-have-enough-engineers outlines the need for cross disciplinary electrical engineers with a better background in mechanical engineering and similarly mechanical engineers with a better background in electrical engineering. The article states that "someone who has experience with industrial assets and mechanical engineering as well as IT skills will be the most sought after... Those people are not easy to find." Both the Mechanical and Electrical engineering departments at USU are developing minors to their BS degree programs to address this need. We currently have Electrical Engineering students taking classes from the Mechanical Engineering department and Mechanical Engineering students taking Electrical Engineering classes to make themselves more attractive to potential employers. What is lacking is formal recognition of these efforts on the students transcripts.

There is also interest from students in the Biological Engineering for a minor in Mechanical Engineering. This minor would be appropriate for any students in the engineering or physics programs at USU. Currently the Mechanical Engineering Departments at the and the University of Idaho offer minors in their departments.

Labor Market Demand Provide local, state, and/or national labor market data that speak to the need for this program. Occupational demand, wage, and number of annual openings information may be found at sources such as Utah DWS Occupation Information Data Viewer (jobs.utah.gov/jsp/wi/utalmis/gotoOccinfo.do) and the Occupation Outlook Handbook (www.bls.gov/oco). According to https://jobs.utah.gov/jsp/utalmis/#/occupation/17-2141.00/report website, both Mechanical and Electrical Engineers have a 5 star rating for Occupation Outlook. Our graduates currently don't have difficulty finding good paying jobs. As mentioned above, students with cross disciplinary backgrounds are highly sought after on both a state and national level. Putting forth this minor is a way for students to get that recognized for their cross disciplinary background.

Consistency with Institutional Mission/Impact on Other USHE Institutions Explain how the program is consistent with the institution's Regents-approved mission, roles, and goals. Institutional mission and roles may be found at higheredutah.org/policies/policyr312/ . Indicate if the program will be delivered outside of designated service area; provide justification. Service areas are defined in higheredutah.org/policies/policyr315/ . This minor would only be available at Utah State University and would be consistent with the institution's mission, roles, and goals.

Finances What costs or savings are anticipated in implementing the proposed program? If new funds are required, indicate expected sources of funds. Describe any budgetary impact on other programs or units within the institution. No additional costs are anticipated with this change. The number of students anticipated to participate in the minor will be small enough to fit into our current class enrollments. Section III: Curriculum

Program Curriculum List all courses, including new courses, to be offered in the proposed program by prefix, number, title, and credit hours (or credit equivalences). Indicate new courses with an X in the appropriate columns. The total number of credit hours should reflect the number of credits required to receive the award.

Program Curriculum Narrative Describe any variable credits. You may also include additional curriculum information, as needed. Only one course from the above elective course list needs to be taken. No course may be applied toward a minor in Mechanical Engineering with an earned grade of less than C-. No course may be repeated more than one time to improve the grade to a C- or better. Courses for Mechanical Engineering Minors may not be taken on a Pass/ Fail Basis. Degree Map Degree maps pertain to undergraduate programs ONLY. Provide a degree map for proposed program. Degree Maps were approved by the State Board of Regents on July 17, 2014 as a degree completion measure. Degree maps or graduation plans are a suggested semester-by-semester class schedule that includes prefix, number, title, and semester hours. For more details see http://higheredutah.org/pdf/agendas/201407/TAB%20A%202014-7-18.pdf (Item #3).

Please cut-and-paste the degree map or manually enter the degree map in the table below

A typical degree map could be as follows: Year 1 Fall Semester - ENGR 2010 (Statics), 3 credits Spring Semester - ENGR 2030 (Dynamics), 3 credits Summer Semester - ENGR 2140 (Mechanics of Solids), 3 credits Year 2 Fall Semester - MAE 5310 (Control Systems), 3 credits Spring Semester - MAE 2300 (Thermodynamics), 3 credits

It is noted that ENGR 2010, 2030, and 2140 and MAE 2300 are currently taught every semester (including summer in most years) giving flexibility. Completing all the required classes for the minor will satisfy the prerequisites for all of the elective classes listed. 1 May 2019

Section II: Program Proposal

Program Change Description/Rationale Present a brief program change description. Describe the institutional procedures used to arrive at a decision for the change. Briefly indicate why such a change should be initiated. State how the institution and the USHE benefit by the change. The Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food Sciences (NDFS) request discontinuation of the Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition, Dietetics and Food Sciences. The various emphasis areas with the degree have been approved and replaced by three separate Bachelor of Science degrees including: (1) BS in Nutrition; (2) BS in Dietetics, and; (3) BS in Food Science. The requirements for the new degrees are exactly the same as for the corresponding emphasis areas found under the to-be- discontinued degree.

Consistency with Institutional Mission/Institutional Impact Explain how the action is consistent with the institution's Regent-approved mission, roles, and goals. Institutional mission and roles may be found at higheredutah.org/policies/policyr312/ . Indicate if the program will be delivered outside of designated service area; provide justification. Service areas are defined in higheredutah.org/policies/policyr315/ . Will faculty or staff structures be impacted by the proposed change? Discontinuation of the BS in Nutrition, Dietetics and Food Sciences will not impact institutional mission. The three replacement degrees lend clarity and focus to institutional mission because they are more readily recognizable to students and stakeholders across the state and region. We anticipate degree separation will enhance marketing the proposed degree to specific targeted groups of potential students.

Impact of Discontinuation Indicate the statewide impact of discontinuing this program. Explain how currently admitted students may complete the program within a reasonable period of time compatible with accreditation standards either through either (1) enrollment of students at other institutions of higher education; or (2) courses being taught for a maximum of two years after discontinuation of the program or until no admitted students remain who are entitled to complete the program, whichever comes first. Enrollment into the degree is currently suspended, and current students in the degree will be matriculated into the appropriate new degree consistent with their emphasis area. Discontinuation of the degree will have no impact on students' degree completion, and will not require any adjustments to administrative or organizational structure of USU or the Utah System of Higher Education.

Finances What costs or savings are anticipated from this change? If new funds are required to implement the change, indicate expected sources of funds. Describe any budgetary impact on other programs or units within the institution. No new costs or savings are anticipated. 1 May 2019

524.1 PURPOSE

1.1 To establish a university-wide policy that ensures compliance with IRS regulations regarding the receipting of charitable contributions to a non-profit organization.

524.3 DEFINITIONS

3.1 Charitable Contribution

A charitable contribution is a gift received by Utah State University for either unrestricted or restricted use in the furtherance of the University for which the University has made no commitment of resources or services other than committing to use the gift as the donor specifies. The gift is a nonreciprocal transfer of the asset in that there is no implicit or explicit statement of exchange, purchase of services, or provision of exclusive information.

To qualify as a charitable contribution, a donor may not retain any explicit or implicit control over the use of the gift after acceptance by the university. If the donor receives benefits in return for the contribution, the true value of the gift is the amount over and above the fair market value of any benefits received.

3.2 Donor

A donor is any individual or organization that contributes funds or goods to Utah State University or the Utah State University Foundation in order to advance the mission of the University.

3.3 Gift Receipt 6

A gift receipt is an official document issued by Utah State University that substantiates the donor’s gift to the University that the donor may use to verify the contribution for tax purposes.

3.4 Quid Pro Quo Contribution

A quid pro quo contribution is a gift where a part of the gift is a contribution and part is in consideration for goods or services provided by the receiving institution to the donor(s). The value of the benefits, or “premiums”, the donor receives is a key factor in determining the amount of the actual gift.

524.4 POLICY

4.1 Authority to Issue Gift Receipts

The Office of University Advancement holds sole authority for issuing gift receipts to donors who make charitable contributions in the form of cash, check, securities, real estate or personal property to Utah State University or the Utah State University Foundation. In the event a donor requests a duplicate copy of a gift receipt that had been previously issued, the Office of University Advancement holds responsibility for issuing the duplicate gift receipt.

For the foreseeable future, USU-CEU is given the authority to issue gift receipts for contributions to USU-CEU.

4.2 IRS Requirements

The gift receipt issued to a donor must include the following information:

(1) Name of organization

(2) Amount of cash contribution -OR Description (but not the value) of non-cash contribution

(3) Statement that no goods or services were provided by the organization in return for the contribution, if that was the case -OR- Description and good faith estimate of the value of goods or services, if any, that an organization provided in return for the contribution

The university must provide a written disclosure statement to a donor who makes a payment exceeding $75 partly as a contribution and partly for goods and services provided by the organization. The University is required to furnish a disclosure statement in connection with either the solicitation or the receipt of a quid pro quo contribution. The statement must be in writing and must be made in a manner that is likely to come to the attention of the donor.

Per IRS guidelines, Utah State University may issue an annual summary to donors who make multiple contributions in one calendar year, such as contributions made via payroll deduction, to substantiate the contributions.

Utah State University has been given authority by the Division of Facilities Construction and Management (DFCM) to exercise direct supervision of the design and construction of all alterations, repairs, and improvements to existing facilities on individual projects with budgets of less than $4 million. The supervision of new construction can also be delegated to USU on a project-by-project basis and can exceed the $4 million amount. As part of the delegation authority, administrative reports are prepared by USU and presented to the Utah State Building Board at each of its meetings. The monthly format of USU’s reports is similar to that of the DFCM’s reports presenting professional and construction contracts issued during the reporting period, contingency and project reserves status, and a delegated projects list showing budget and status. On a quarterly basis, additional reports are prepared showing contingency fund cumulative transfers, a summary of the statewide (paving) account, and a construction contract status. The Board of Regents has transferred its authority to review the delegation/ administrative reports to the Board of Trustees.

The reports have received the appropriate administrative review and approval.

515.1 INTRODUCTION

Utah State University operates an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Accountable Plan for reimbursing University business related travel expenses. When IRS criteria are met, amounts reimbursed under an Accountable Plan are considered to be non-taxable to the employee.

This policy determines when an actual expense reimbursement is allowed or whether a per diem or mileage allowance may be used. The University reserves the right to set per diem or mileage allowances at or below the applicable current Federal rates. Rates will be reviewed at least annually in January for adjustment at the beginning of the next University fiscal year. Travel expenses are to be reimbursed uniformly throughout the University.

The University is accountable for how public monies are spent, and expects that travel expenses will be scrutinized. Those who travel on behalf of the University hold a position of trust and authority, requiring the demonstration of integrity by judicious use of such funds.

It is the responsibility of the Department Administrator to determine when travel is authorized. It is the responsibility of the traveler to certify via electronic approval that all expenses are correct and incurred in performance of University related business. Wherever possible, the University will establish controls within the reimbursement process to ensure that departments meet their fiduciary responsibilities.

When University funds are not available to reimburse all expenses, an individual is not obligated to travel. However, if the individual chooses to travel, it is expected that the traveler will assume the remainder of the cost.

University Policy 515: Travel

Category: Business and Financial Administration Sub Category: General Covered Individuals: Responsible Executive: Vice President Policy Custodian: Vice President for Business & Finance, Vice President Last Revised: 2019/04/01

515.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE

Utah State University operates an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Accountable Plan for reimbursing University business related travel expenses. When IRS criteria are met, amounts reimbursed under an Accountable Plan are considered to be non-taxable to the employee.

This policy determines when an actual expense reimbursement is allowed or whether a per diem or mileage allowance may be used. The University reserves the right to set per diem or mileage allowances at or below the applicable current Federal rates. Rates will be reviewed at least annually in January for adjustment at the beginning of the next University fiscal year. Travel expenses are to be reimbursed uniformly throughout the University.

The University is accountable for how public monies are spent, and expects that travel expenses will be scrutinized. Those who travel on behalf of the University hold a position of trust and authority, requiring the demonstration of integrity by judicious use of such funds.

It is the responsibility of the Department Administrator to determine when travel is authorized. It is the responsibility of the traveler to certify via electronic approval that all expenses are correct and incurred in performance of University related business. Wherever possible, the University will establish controls within the reimbursement process to ensure that departments meet their fiduciary responsibilities.

When University funds are not available to reimburse all expenses, an individual is not obligated to travel. However, if the individual chooses to travel, it is expected that the traveler will assume the remainder of the cost.

All University travel must be supported by a properly completed Travel Authorization (TA) form unless the only expenses are relating to the operation of University owned vehicles including departmental and Motor Pool vehicles. The TA form is available at https://servicenow.usu.edu.

515.2 POLICY

2.1 Approved Rates for Reimbursement

2.1.1 Transportation

2.1.1.1 Private Automobile

The reimbursement rate for University business related use of a private automobile will be determined utilizing Motor Pool data for cost of operation adjusted for cost of fuel. Rates will not

Approval of actual expenses in excess of the maximum lodging per diem allowed should usually happen in advance of travel and at the discretion of the Department Administrator.

2.1.2.3 Lodging at Other than a Motel/Hotel

Travelers may elect to stay with friends, relatives, personal accommodations other than the traveler’s permanent residence, personally owned campers, or personally owned trailer homes instead of staying in a motel/hotel.

Biological engineering assistant professor Elizabeth Vargis received a three-year Academic Research Enhancement Award grant from the National Eye Institute for her ongoing research in better understanding retinal disease. A renowned leader in retinal health research, Vargis will assemble a team of undergraduate and graduate students, as well as other researchers, to examine the relationship between how retinal cells grow normally and what happens if those conditions change.

USU engineering students placed third at a recent national robotics challenge held in California. Eighteen teams from across the Western U.S. competed in the competition organized by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. For the second year in a row, the USU team qualified for the international competition which will be held in Salt Lake City in November 2019.

In April, nine USU faculty librarians presented at the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) biennial meeting, which was held in Cleveland, Ohio. The acceptance rate for presenters at this conference is less than 30%. USU’s presentations covered topics ranging from government information and the persistent problem of jargon; librarians teaching credit- bearing courses in the disciplines; “facticity” or critical thought in contentious times; as well as centralizing the process of tracking patron interactions within university libraries.

Caine College of the Arts’ Theatre Arts designers have again won awards at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival at the Los Angeles Theatre Center. Four USU students entered their work in either Set or Costume Design. Two awards were given in each area, a National Award Winner and an Honorable Mention, for a total of four awards between Sets and Costumes. CCA Theatre Arts students from USU took home three of those four awards: graduate Dwight Camillucci, Set Design National Award Winner, Once upon a Mattress; undergraduate Stirling Brenna, Set Design Honorable Mention, Light up the Sky; and graduate Sara Shouse, Costume Design Honorable Mention, Light up the Sky.

Dr. Charles “Chuck” Hawkins was named as the recipient of the 2019 D. Wynne Thorne Career Research Award. Hawkins is a professor in the Department of Watershed Sciences in the S.J. and Jessie E. Quinney College of Natural Resources, where he has taught for more than 35 years. Nominators for Hawkins’ award note that he is a hugely successful and stellar scientist in watershed research who has dedicated his career to making major advances in his field.

The School of Graduate Studies reports that, after three years of modest declines, the number of graduate applications for the 2019-20 academic year is higher than it was last year at this time of the application cycle (July to June). They have received more PhD applications (662) than in any previous year (641 in 2015-16). There has also been a rise in the number of

international applications this year, a reversal of the decline that has occurred in the previous five years.

The Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art’s event, “Storyboard Fashion Inspired by Collecting on the Edge,” is a great example of goals for both education and community engagement as an academic museum. Six students from lecturer Amber Wallace’s Advanced Clothing Studies class created original half-scale clothing designs inspired by artworks on view as part of Collecting on the Edge, with guidance from Donna Brown, Head of Academic Initiatives. Their creations were displayed at a free public event where students stood by the artwork that inspired them and discussed their creative process with the more than 100 visitors who attended.

This spring, Honors students presented research and creative work both in state and across the nation. Events included USU’s Student Research Symposium (49 presenters from eight colleges); the Utah Conference on Undergraduate Research (18 presenters from six colleges); Research on Capitol Hill (12 presenters from six colleges); and the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (four presenters from three colleges). Awards earned include the Performance Presentation Award for Arts, Undergraduate Poster Presentation Awards for Physical and Life Science, Undergraduate Oral Presentation Award for Education at USU’s Student Research Symposium, as well as Undergraduate Researcher of the Year Awards in the Colleges of Science, Natural Resources, and Humanities and Social Sciences. Student Bryce Frederickson won the prestigious Peak Prize as USU’s Undergraduate Researcher of the Year, and A.J. Walters will present his research at the Posters on the Hill event in Washington, D.C., April 29-30, 2019.

The Latinx Cultural Center began the “Lunch with Latinx Leaders” series of talks this spring, which provides visibility for the Latinx leaders (broadly defined) of the USU community. Talks focused on the power of personal storytelling and demonstrated the many challenges and successes the speakers experienced in order to get to their position in life. In fall 2019, the center will launch a professionalization mentoring program for Latinx students, as well as a “Latinos in Action” student chapter, for which officer elections were completed this spring.

Thirty Students Awarded Retention Scholarships in 2019 Spring Semester This spring semester, thirty students were awarded retention scholarships thanks to generous donations from the Perkins and Watkins families, as well as from USU trademarking. To be considered for a retention scholarship, students must be nominated by advisors or other personnel. Once nominated, they are invited to apply by completing two short essays and a budget worksheet. The students who accept these scholarships are required to enroll in 15 credits during the term for which they receive the funds. Office of Student Retention & Completion

New Tutorials Give Students Step-By-Step Guide for Leave of Absence and Deferment To better assist students who need to request a Leave of Absence or Deferral, or who are returning from one, a new set of tutorials have been created to help students through each process. Students can download a checklist that lays out what they need to complete, and then refer to the tutorials for a smaller breakdown of each checklist item. Office of Student Orientation & Transition Services

New Articulation Reminders Reduce Course Evaluation Turnaround Time In collaboration with the associate deans, the Registrar’s Office implemented a plan to send weekly reminders to each department’s primary articulation contact, along with follow-up reminders to a secondary contact if overdue.

2 AIS Directs USU in Strategic Enrollment Management Planning In January, AIS began leading USU through a comprehensive Strategic Enrollment Management Planning (SEMP) process with the help of consultant, Ruffalo-Noel-Levitz. After establishing a SEMP Steering Committee, representative of many constituencies at USU, subsequent meetings have been held in January, March and April. The initial 12-month SEMP process will be Phase I – developing strategies and goals for USU in the areas of undergraduate education, USU Online, Regional Campuses, and Eastern. Phase II, planned for 2020, will expand to include graduate education and individual college plans.

One of the first tasks of the SEMP Steering Committee was to develop Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) that represent areas of outcomes for the SEMP. The KPI’s were approved by USU’s Executive Enrollment Management Committee:

• New student enrollments • Net tuition revenue • FY retention rate (FTF cohort) • Graduation rate (FTF cohort) • Term-to-term retention for all students • Certificate and degree completions • Percentage of students in a declared major at 60 credits or less • Enrollment of access populations (first-generation, underrepresented students, and non- traditional)

In February and March, six working groups began researching and writing situational analysis in broad areas important to the SEMP process:

1. Marketing and Recruiting 2. Finances and Financial Aid 3. Student Success 4. Regional Campuses and Eastern 5. Academic Programs 6. USU Online

From these situational analyses, the SEMP Steering Committee is now identifying and developing action strategies that will help USU achieve positive outcomes in the KPI’s. The first five strategies include:

• Best practice advising (aligning advising expectations with practice) • Exploratory advising • Faculty mentoring of students • Mapping curricular complexity • Building a Student Money Management Center

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IT Impacts: 2019 Legislative Edition With the regular legislative session complete, the following items have been identified that will have impact on IT at USU:

Utah Senate Bill 2, Item 248: o “The legislature intends that prior to October 31st, 2019, the Utah System of Higher Education will develop a plan for migrating core operating systems to cloud computing with provisions for cyber security throughout the system and provide this plan to the Higher Education Appropriations Subcommittee.”

o This is a significant and unexpected request from the legislature. USU’s CIO will be working with other USHE CIOs to better understand the intent, scope, and impact of developing and implementing such a plan, including seeking understanding of what “core operating systems” implies, and identifying additional costs that would need funding to implement.

o USHE Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Funding Request: This funding request (detailed in the March 2019 IT trustee report) would have provided ongoing funding to increase cybersecurity staffing, tools, and essential infrastructure maintenance and replacement. The legislature denied the USHE request providing no ongoing funding, though a 90% smaller one-time allocation may be made available, one-time, through “unallocated” performance-based funding. Unfortunately, small one-time funding will not be effective to drive increases in security staffing, or security tool acquisition short or long-term.

New USU IT Building: o The legislature did fund ongoing O&M enabling USU to formally begin design and construction of a new IT building, enabling central IT to bring their geographically distributed staff together in one location while simultaneously freeing up significant space around campus for re-use.

Regional Campuses - Events, Actions, or Issues since Last Trustee’s Meeting:

USU Blanding This year, 16 Blanding students, 2 Eastern students, and 8 team mentors will be traveling to Kenya on May 13th for Global Community Leadership. The service projects include: teaching women how to start their own, sustainable local business, teaching two communities basic health and illness prevention, teaching primary children basic English and Navajo, and building a primary school in one of the local communities. Students will also visit several hospitals to understand what health services are available to Kenyans, visit two universities to have an exchange with Kenyan students and will learn the history of Kenya at a museum. The 2019 STEAM Expo held Friday, April 12th on the USU Blanding Campus, hosted over 500 students from Utah, Colorado and Arizona as well as the surrounding community. 31 exhibits and booths showcased many of the University's Departments.

USU Brigham City The alumni association hosted a live-streaming of the NCAA playoff basketball game at our Kaysville Center. Over 100 excited aggies attended the event and enjoyed pizza, aggie ice cream, and lemonade, in addition to a great game. We hope to see some scholarship donations come in as a result of this event, as well as a possible increase in enrollments. We are thrilled with opportunities to celebrate our students’ success this month. On April 18th, we will host an awards reception where we will honor students who have achieved Latin distinctions and special honors. We will also give awards to exemplary faculty and staff. Additionally, we are looking forward to the Brigham City Region commencement ceremony on April 19th to celebrate with students graduating from the Tremonton, Brigham City, and Kaysville locations. About 70 students have RSVP'd to participate in our ceremony, making this one of the larger commencement celebrations we have had in recent years. We look forward to Troy Christensen, Vice President of the Bridgerland Technical College, Brigham City Branch Campus, as our commencement speaker, and we appreciate the collegiality and collaboration we enjoy with BTECH and its programs.

USU Eastern Two USU Eastern rodeo team members have qualified for the College National Finals Rodeo in Casper, Wyoming in June. Competing against two and four-year schools across the Rocky Mountain Region, Casey Thomas was crowned the region champion in Team Roping – Header and Morgan Jensen placed third in barrel racing. The top five from each region qualify for nationals. The rodeo program, run by Monte Jensen and Leon McElprang was re-established three years ago. USU Eastern welder Jordan Wynn placed second at the American Welding Society national welding competition for post-secondary students. Wynn is from the Uintah Basin, and followed in the footsteps of his friend Chandler Vincent, who was last year’s national champion. Enrollment growth at the USU Eastern campus picked up steam heading into the spring semester. For Spring 2019, USU Eastern saw a 14.3 percent headcount increase in enrollment (7.6 percent full-time equivalent), including a 27 percent headcount in upper-division enrollment. The Eagle, the newspaper written and produced by students at the USU Eastern campus, took home 18 awards at the Utah Press Association better newspaper competition. Those awards included five first-place selections and are the most the paper had ever received. The Eagle, advised by professor Dr. Susan Polster, competes against two and four year university papers from throughout Utah.

USU Moab Funding Information Network for Moab Non-Profits was submitted as one of 15 USU community partnerships in the Carnegie Community Engaged Institution application. Moab City, Grand County and 22 local businesses will decorate their storefronts with Aggie spirited designs to celebrate USU Moab’s 28 graduates, which we call Paint the Town Blue. The winning decoration as judged by a group of recent alumni will be named the USU Moab True Blue Aggie Business of the Year and have a scholarship in their name to support a student next year.

USU Salt Lake Tim Riesen and Lacie Peterson was promoted to Clinical Associate Professors. Several USU groups use the Center to connect with their coworkers and colleagues. RC Business Services held a retreat in March for all the Businesses Services staff across the state, including USU Eastern and USU Blanding. The Alumni Advisory Board meeting and the City of Taylorsville’s third strategic meeting was also held at the Salt Lake campus. Two big grants use the USU Salt Lake Center as well 1. Tim Riesen and Matt Wappet (co-PIs) were awarded a $2.5 million, 5-year grant, to develop a technical assistance center housed at the USU Salt Lake Center. The TA center will provide targeted training and technical assistance to providers and consumers of HCBS services to ensure compliance with the final Medicaid Settings rule. The TA center will use a combination of core university faculty and staff, and national and state level consultants to provide training and technical assistance to people with disabilities, families, and provider organizations in Utah. Specifically, the project will focus on five core areas: employment, community-life engagement, persons centered planning, transition from school to work, and family engagement and advocacy. 2. The USU STARS! GEAR UP projects have utilized classrooms and computer labs at the Salt Lake Center for monthly training meetings. There are currently four GEAR UP projects at USU. The purpose of these projects is to increase under-resourced middle and high school student’s awareness and readiness for undergraduate programs. Currently serving over 12,000 Utah students, these projects have realized significant gains in undergraduate enrollment, particularly at USU.

USU Southwest The Southwest Region celebrated graduation for 16 Associates Degrees, 54 Bachelors Degrees, 5 Masters Degrees, and one Ph.D. Our student government representation in the southwest grew by one – we now have an Executive Vice President in Nephi, a Student Representative in Delta, and a Student Representative in Panguitch, giving our students easier access to student government throughout the southwest. The Southwest Region received its first regional scholarship – the Lois B. Sturman Scholarship has been designated for HSB students in southwest centers that offer those degrees (Beaver, Bicknell, Delta, Ephraim, Junction, Kanab, Nephi, Panguitch, and Richfield). Finally, we are proud of one of our MHR graduates, Shaun Kjar, who was recently hired as the Ephraim City Manager.

USU Tooele The Tooele Regional Campus is proud of our strong relationship with the Tooele County School District. We meet regularly with counselors and students. One of our most popular events is Corridor Days, where we invite every High School Freshman to tour not only the USU Tooele campus, but also the Tooele Technical College and the Community Learning Center. Over a three-day period, almost every 9th grade student spends time with USU Tooele faculty. Two of the activities students participate in are: a mock courtroom in Criminal Justice and a tour of the cadaver lab. We have been able to create a progressive facilitator-training program to enable facilitators to learn the job at their own pace and ensures a more thorough mastery of classroom technology, which will improve the student learning experience. The program has three, clearly defined levels of training comprised of specific tasks. A combination of video tutorials and hands-on simulations of the classroom technology environment encourage experimentation and faster learning. We conducted a faculty survey to ascertain the effectiveness of our facilitators and classroom technology. Then utilized those results to identify specific areas for training improvement. Last year we scored a 76% satisfaction rating from faculty. We are proud to report that this year we received a 100% satisfaction rating. Our relationship with the Tooele School District and Tooele Technical College are stronger than ever and we meet monthly to talk about how we can best serve students. USU Tooele has embraced the “Year of Technical Education” and make it a priority to find ways to increase opportunities, through stackable credentials, for students coming from the Technical College and High School Pathways.

Focus of Student Affairs

The mission of the Division of Student Affairs is to inspire, engage, and challenge our students through inclusive, holistic, student-centered programming. This report highlights the efforts of one of our departments to support student development and leadership, facilitate co-curricular student success, and enhance the Aggie experience.

Department Reports:

Aggies Think Care Act (thinkcareact.usu.edu)

Mission: Aggies Think Care Act is a campus-wide initiative to foster a caring community that elevates the academic experience for all Aggies and prepares students to become global citizens and leaders. Aggies Think Care Act embraces civic responsibility, respect for diversity, and human dignity. We challenge all Aggies to acknowledge and act upon these principles.

Why this is important: Aggies receive unique opportunities for civic engagement and leadership roles that prepare our graduates to become leaders in their local communities and in communities around the world. These opportunities — both inside and out of the classroom — embody the “Aggie Experience.” The extensive programs affiliated with the Aggies Think Care Act initiative make a Utah State University degree a transformative experience, preparing students to make a meaningful impact on individuals, communities, the state, the nation and our world. Committee: The Committee consists of 30+ representatives from various USU units that play significant roles in promoting USU’s Principles of Community (diversity, human dignity, social responsibility). Monthly meetings are held to enhance communication and collaboration for greater effectiveness of programming. These meetings also serve as ongoing informal campus climate assessment, and allow early intervention of community issues. The committee provides feedback to various task forces/committees, and assists with implementations of their initiatives. Signature Events and Projects: Aggie Heroes is an annual event held in collaboration with USUSA. It is a platform for several students to share their personal stories about topics such as mental health, immigration, sexual orientation, and trauma. It highlights that everyone has a story of trials and strengths. Uniting through stories, this event aims to create a sense of belonging and to strengthen the sense of community among students. Inclusive Excellence Symposium was held in October. This was the second symposium at USU following 8 years of hiatus since the first. Under President Cockett’s leadership and support, the IES has become an annual event for the university. The main objective is to provide a space for faculty, staff and graduate students to share their expertise in diversity and inclusion, and to help educate the campus community to create an inclusive learning environment based on research and high impact practice. In 2018, 335 people registered to attend all or a portion of this all-day event (152 staff, 88 students, 74 faculty and 21 other), and reported overall positive experiences (e.g, 88% reporting they can put what they learned to immediate use). 27 USU faculty and staff are among the presenters, as well as 3 graduate students. The networking social was also held in early April in preparation of the next symposium. Approximately 100 faculty, staff and administrators attended this gathering to learn about what others are doing in the area of diversity and inclusion, which will hopefully encourage interdisciplinary collaboration in research and programming. This meeting was also used as an opportunity to solicit feedback from experts for the newly developed Diversity and Inclusion Task Force (a presidential initiative).

Cache Valley Diversity Dinner is a community event sponsored by President Cockett. The goal is to celebrate diversity and cultivate inclusion in our local community by creating an opportunity for dialogues. This inaugural dinner was held in March at Logan High School, and this off-campus location was selected intentionally to increase accessibility for community members. Over 150 people attended this event; guests were primarily non-USU community members and included community leaders such as Senator Hillyard, Representative Johnson, and Logan City Mayor Holy Daines. 99% of attendees expressed strong satisfaction with this event, and commented on learning the value of diversity and expressed the willingness for openness. We hope that increased inclusiveness in the community will ultimately help with retention of diverse students, faculty and staff. We also hope this annual event will help bring USU and the community closer together. Student Advisory Board is currently recruiting its first cohort of students to provide feedback to the committee and assist with outreach events. This program has a strong emphasis on providing leadership opportunities to minority students whose leadership potential might be under-recognized. Direction for 2019-2020: In addition to the signature events and projects, we will increase our energy on promoting USU’s Principles of Community. We will also work on including Regional Campuses, incorporating Aggies Think Care Act into students’ academic experiences, and broadening it to include faculty and staff to make it truly a university-wide culture.

Utah System of Higher Education Program Description - Full Template

Section I: The Request Utah State University requests approval to offer the following Associate's degree(s): Veterinary Technology effective Fall 2019. This program was approved by the institutional Board of Trustees on .

Section II: Program Proposal

Program Description Present a complete, formal program description. The Department of Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences (ADVS) at Utah State University (USU) requests approval to add an Associate of Science (AS) degree in Veterinary Technology, that if approved, will begin fall semester, 2019. This is designed to be a stackable degree option for students completing the Veterinary Assistant certificate program at Bridgerland Technical College, as well as a valuable option for students enrolled at USU.

Consistency with Institutional Mission Explain how the program is consistent with the institution's Regents-approved mission, roles, and goals (see mission and roles at higheredutah.org/policies/policyr312) or, for "out of mission" program requests, the rationale for the request. As part of its Land Grant mission, USU is to provide practical education in relevant agricultural disciplines to residents of the State of Utah. The proposed AS degree in Veterinary Technology is consistent with USU's land-grant mission of education and outreach in agriculture. This degree option provides a means for students seeking careers as a licensed Veterinary Technician. Because of USU's unique mission, the proposed degree does not overlap or conflict with any other USHE institution, as USU is the only institution with undergraduate and doctoral programs in Veterinary Science and Veterinary Medicine.

Section III: Needs Assessment

Program Rationale Describe the institutional procedures used to arrive at a decision to offer the program. Briefly indicate why such a program should be initiated. State how the institution and the USHE benefit by offering the proposed program. This degree will provide a clear degree path for students who wish to be qualified to sit for the Veterinary Technician National Exam. The proposed degree will articulate 20 hours of university credit from the 600 hours taught in the Bridgerland Technical College (BTECH) Veterinary Assistant certificate program, thereby allowing students to earn an AS degree in an effective manner, saving students one to two semesters of time and tuition costs. In addition, this provides a direct pathway for those interested in continuing their education and earning a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree.

Labor Market Demand Provide local, state, and/or national labor market data that speak to the need for this program. Occupational demand, wage, and number of annual openings information may be found at sources such as Utah DWS Occupation Information Data Viewer (jobs.utah.gov/jsp/wi/utalmis/gotoOccinfo.do) and the Occupation Outlook Handbook (www.bls.gov/oco).

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/veterinary-technologists-and-technicians.htm) projects the job outlook for veterinary technologists and technicians to be strong and is projected to grow 20% from 2016-2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. The 2017 median pay is $33,400 per year ($16.06 per hour). The Utah Department of Workforce Services projects the average annual openings for veterinary technologists and technicians to be 150, with an average growth rate of 4.8%. https://jobs.utah.gov/wi/data/library/ employment/occprojections.html The Academies of Science Press published a comprehensive veterinary work force needs report in 2013 which projected a high demand for professionals (both technicians and veterinarians) to meet the increased demand for companion animal care, public health, and food animal production. This demand coincides, in part, with the projected increase in population and expenditures by the public for their animals. A recent report estimates that there are approximately 70 million pet dogs and 74 million pet cats in the U.S. with the average annual veterinary expenditure per household for all pets to be $375. In addition, the report states that 63% of pet owners consider their pet as family. Utah’s population continues to grow, with some counties leading national expansion rates yearly, and is projected to increase from approximately 3 million in 2015 to 5.8 million in 2065; an increase of 2.8 million people with an annual average growth rate of 1.3%. Nationally, over 36% of households report owning a pet. We anticipate that the increase in veterinary workforce needs will increase in proportion to the population and household growth.

Student Demand Provide evidence of student interest and demand that supports potential program enrollment. Use Appendix D to project five years' enrollments and graduates. Note: If the proposed program is an expansion of an existing program, present several years enrollment trends by headcount and/or by student credit hours that justify expansion. Estimated demand for this degree will reach 40+ students, both from the BTECH veterinary assistant certificate program and other rural areas of the state served by USU's regional campus system. This degree training is required for those wishing to sit for the Veterinary Technician National Examination administered by the American Association of Veterinary State Boards. There is considerable demand from recent graduates of the BTECH veterinary assistant certificate program, and those currently in the program, to enter into the AS degree in Veterinary Technology.

Similar Programs Are similar programs offered elsewhere in the USHE, the state, or Intermountain Region? If yes, identify the existing program(s) and cite justifications for why the Regents should approve another program of this type. How does the proposed program differ from or compliment similar program(s)? There is no AS degree in Veterinary Technology in the State of Utah. BTECH in Logan, Utah offers a veterinary assistant certificate program. The certificate program does not completely prepare the students to sit for the national exam. An associate's degree from an accredited institution is required. This proposed degree provides a stackable degree option for all of their graduates. (private) provides an Associate of Applied Sciences degree in Veterinary Technology that does not economically serve the interests of BETCH graduates and our regional campus students due to location and cost.

Collaboration with and Impact on Other USHE Institutions Indicate if the program will be delivered outside of designated service area; provide justification. Service areas are defined in higheredutah.org/policies/policyr315/ . Assess the impact the new program will have on other USHE institutions. Describe any discussions with other institutions pertaining to this program. Include any collaborative efforts that may have been proposed. The proposed degree is consistent with USU's land-grant mission of education in agriculture. This proposal provides a clear degree option for students preparing to take the Veterinary Technician National Examination and for those interested in continuing their higher education. It provides a significant collaboration with BTECH and greatly enhances the options for their graduates.

External Review and Accreditation Indicate whether external consultants or, for a career and technical education program, program advisory committee were involved in the development of the proposed program. List the members of the external consultants or advisory committee and briefly describe their activities. If the program will seek special professional accreditation, project anticipated costs and a date for accreditation review. The proposed AS degree was developed by a committee comprised of Dirk Vanderwall (Department Head, Lee Rickords (Asssociate Department Head 0 Academics) and Kerry Rood (Associate Department Head - Extension) at USU, and Wendy Carter (VP for Instruction), Lisa Moon (Associate VP for Instruction) and Susan Curtis (Department Head) at BTECH. The accrediting body over U.S. veterinary technicians is the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Committee on Veterinary Technician Education and Activities (CVTEA). The CVTEA is tasked with outlining and accrediting veterinary technician education. The CVTEA has established policy and procedure to petition for accreditation. In summary, it requires the program to meet 11 standards of accreditation that includes institutional accreditation, finances, organization and communications, physical facilities, and equipment, resources for clinical instruction, library informational resources, admissions, students, faculty and staff, curriculum, and outcomes assessment.

Fees and expenses associated with accreditation are assumed by the program petitioning for accreditation and are estimated to total $10,000 and are itemized: 1. Application fee = $3,000 2. CVTEA site visit team travel expenses = $5,000 3. USU - BTC program travel to AVMA national meeting = $2,000

The CVTEA site visit team consists of five members and our program will be expected to cover all of the travel expenses associated with the visit.

We expect to petition for accreditation within three years after program implementation The length of time is dictated by the requirement for a three-year rolling average VTNE pass percentage for the first time test takers at 50% or higher. The accreditation approval process can take up to 24 months depending on application completeness and the CVTEA's logistical demands for visits and scheduling.

CVTEA accreditation process can be found here: https://www.avma.org/professionaldevelopment/education/accreditation/ programs/pages/cvtea-about.aspx

Will existing faculty/instructions, including teaching/ graduate assistants, be sufficient to instruct the program or will additional faculty be recruited? If needed, provide plans and resources to secure qualified faculty. Use Appendix C to provide detail on faculty profiles and new hires. The following faculty resources within the ADVS Department will be needed to provide the academic instruction necessary for the proposed program: 1) three current faculty members (two full-time and one part-time) and 2) one new full-time faculty member. Funding for the new faculty position is being pursued through a SWI grant proposal that is being submitted in January, 2019. Details of these faculty profiles are provided in Appendix C.

Staff Describe the staff development activities that will support this program. Will existing staff such as administrative, secretarial/ clerical, laboratory aides, advisors, be sufficient to support the program or will additional staff need to be hired? Provide plans and resources to secure qualified staff, as needed. The current level of staff support in the ADVS Department is sufficient to operate the proposed program. A Strategic Work Initiative grant is being submitted to provide one additional faculty member to teach in the program.

Student Advisement Describe how students in the proposed program will be advised. The college of Agriculture and Applied Sciences (CAAS) provides excellent student advisement services. The ADVS department has a full-time advisor and part-time access to an additional advisor.

Library and Information Resources Describe library resources required to offer the proposed program if any. List new library resources to be acquired. Utah State University currently has the necessary library resources to implement and sustain this new degree program using the holdings for the existing degree programs in the CAAS and the School of Veterinary Medicine. While reference materials (online journals, archives, database, and e-books) will be used, USU’s learning management system (Canvas) allows for the placement of reference materials within the online course. All faculty are the beneficiaries of excellent library support.

Projected Enrollment and Finance Use Appendix D to provide projected enrollment and information on related operating expenses and funding sources.

Section VI: Program Evaluation

Program Assessment Identify program goals. Describe the system of assessment to be used to evaluate and develop the program.

Section I: The Request Utah State University requests approval to offer the following Baccalaureate degree(s): RN to BSN Completion Program effective Fall 2020. This program was approved by the institutional Board of Trustees on .

Section II: Program Proposal

Program Description Present a complete, formal program description. Utah State University proposes to offer an online bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) degree completion program. Students enrolled in the program will be registered nurses who have completed an associate degree in nursing. The online format for the RN to BSN completion program was chosen as most, if not all students enrolled in the program will be working as registered nurses in their communities. Students may progress full-time or part-time through the program. If general education requirements previously have been fulfilled, full-time students can complete the program in two semesters. The curriculum is based on professional standards and guidelines for baccalaureate-prepared nurses and includes courses in professional nursing practice, population health, nursing leadership, informatics, nursing research, advanced health assessment, and gerontological nursing.

The RN to BSN completion program will provide opportunities for its graduates to advance in their careers, earn higher salaries, work as supervisors or managers, and work in areas usually restricted to baccalaureate-prepared registered nurses such as public health and veterans' healthcare facilities. Graduates of the program also will be prepared to advance their education to become nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, certified nurse midwives, certified registered nurse anesthetists, nurse educators, and nurse administrators.

Consistency with Institutional Mission Explain how the program is consistent with the institution's Regents-approved mission, roles, and goals (see mission and roles at higheredutah.org/policies/policyr312) or, for "out of mission" program requests, the rationale for the request. The mission of Utah State University is to be a premier student centric university that serves the Utah public through learning, discovery, and engagement. The RN to BSN completion program will help to achieve that mission by providing students with greater accessibility to nursing education in the state.

Section III: Needs Assessment

Program Rationale Describe the institutional procedures used to arrive at a decision to offer the program. Briefly indicate why such a program should be initiated. State how the institution and the USHE benefit by offering the proposed program. With the merger of the College of Eastern Utah in 2010, USU obtained accredited nursing programs. Since that time, students have been able to prepare as licensed practical nurses (LPNs) through a certificate of completion program and registered nurses (RNs) through an associate of applied science degree program. USU offers practical nursing (PN) programs in Price, Blanding, and Moab and RN programs in Price, Blanding, Moab, Tooele, and Uintah Basin. USU began a pre-licensure BSN program on its Logan campus in fall 2017 following Board of Regents approval in March 2017. The proposed RN to BSN completion program will provide an opportunity for graduates of USU's AAS nursing program to continue their undergraduate nursing education at USU. With the addition of the proposed RN to BSN completion program, USU will be able to offer the full complement of undergraduate nursing education at the PN certificate, AAS in nursing degree, pre-licensure BSN degree, and RN to BSN completion degree levels.

Labor Market Demand Provide local, state, and/or national labor market data that speak to the need for this program. Occupational demand, wage, and number of annual openings information may be found at sources such as Utah DWS Occupation Information Data Viewer (jobs.utah.gov/jsp/wi/utalmis/gotoOccinfo.do) and the Occupation Outlook Handbook (www.bls.gov/oco). The state of Utah and the U.S. are facing another nursing shortage. According to the Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for nurses will increase by 15% between 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. At the same time, over a half million registered nurses are projected to leave the workforce. In Utah, the Department of Workforce Services anticipates a rise in registered nurse job openings. Annually, nearly one thousand openings for registered nurses are anticipated over the next 15 years.

With the increased need for registered nurses comes a call for nurses with more education. Newly graduated nurses with associate degrees are still being hired in many facilities, but jobs are not as easy to find for new associate degree nursing graduates. More nurses with bachelor's degrees are being hired by the health care industry than in the past. The Department of Workforce Services notes in their employment projections that registered nurses with baccalaureate degrees will have better job prospects than nurses who do not have baccalaureate degrees. Currently, Intermountain Healthcare facilities are giving preference to hiring registered nurses who have BSNs. Similarly, the Veteran's Administration typically does not hire RNs unless they have a baccalaureate degree or higher. In its Future of Nursing report in 2011, the Institute of Medicine recommended that 80% of registered nurses have a baccalaureate degree by 2020. The report noted that in order for nurses to better meet the needs of the population as patient needs and care environments become more complex, nurses must attain requisite competencies to deliver high quality care by achieving higher levels of education.

Student Demand Provide evidence of student interest and demand that supports potential program enrollment. Use Appendix D to project five years' enrollments and graduates. Note: If the proposed program is an expansion of an existing program, present several years enrollment trends by headcount and/or by student credit hours that justify expansion. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing reported that in the 2013-2014 academic year, over fifty thousand qualified applicants to baccalaureate nursing programs were not accepted due to lack of program capacity. According to the National League for Nursing, 33% of qualified program applicants were not admitted to BSN programs in 2016. This indicates a substantial student demand for BSN programs.

Approximately 50 students graduate each year from USU's AAS in nursing program at regional campuses. The BSN completion program will provide the opportunity for students to obtain a BSN degree while remaining and working as registered nurses in their communities. Responses to a survey of students enrolled in the USU AAS nursing program in September 2016 indicated that 37 out of 40 or 92.5% of respondents were planning to obtain a BSN degree. Furthermore, 35 out of 40 or 87.5% responded that they would attend an online RN to BSN completion program at USU if it offered one, with 12.5% responding as unsure.

Similar Programs Are similar programs offered elsewhere in the USHE, the state, or Intermountain Region? If yes, identify the existing program(s) and cite justifications for why the Regents should approve another program of this type. How does the proposed program differ from or compliment similar program(s)? Five USHE institutions offer an RN to BSN completion program: (online), (hybrid), University of Utah (online), Utah Valley University (online), and (hybrid). USU's proposed BSN completion program complements other USHE programs in its similarity in curriculum. Should students need to transfer to USU's RN to BSN completion program, they will be able to seamlessly transfer courses completed in a BSN completion program at other USHE institutions, as well as conversely: from USU's RN to BSN completion program to other USHE programs. The proposed program also is intended to serve the approximately 50 students who graduate each year from USU's associate of applied science in nursing program offered at USU-Eastern in Blanding and Price, and three regional campuses. The fully online format for the proposed program better serves the graduates who tend to remain and live in their local communities than does a hybrid format that requires attendance in face-to-face instruction.

Collaboration with and Impact on Other USHE Institutions Indicate if the program will be delivered outside of designated service area; provide justification. Service areas are defined in higheredutah.org/policies/policyr315/ . Assess the impact the new program will have on other USHE institutions. Describe any discussions with other institutions pertaining to this program. Include any collaborative efforts that may have been proposed. The proposed program should have minimal, if any, impact on other USHE institutions, as there is an abundance of qualified students applying to existing BSN programs. Implementation of this program should not limit the ability of existing programs to continue to enroll the desired number of qualified students. As this proposal was being developed, inquiries were made to the Dixie State University, Weber State University, University of Utah, and Utah Valley University nursing programs. Although their BSN completion programs currently accept all qualified students who apply, the consensus is that there is room for more.

External Review and Accreditation Indicate whether external consultants or, for a career and technical education program, program advisory committee were involved in the development of the proposed program. List the members of the external consultants or advisory committee and briefly describe their activities. If the program will seek special professional accreditation, project anticipated costs and a date for accreditation review. A variety of nursing education standards were reviewed in developing the curriculum including The Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, and Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) comprehensive competencies arising from a national initiative funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The RN to BSN completion program curriculum includes many of the same courses as USU's pre- licensure BSN program curriculum.

The USU practical nurse and associate degree nursing programs currently are accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN). USU's pre-licensure BSN program is a candidate for accreditation by ACEN, with the initial accreditation site visit completed during October 16-18, 2018. ACEN awards accreditation at the degree level. Therefore, a separate application for accreditation for the RN to BSN completion program will not be necessary if the pre-licensure program is awarded ACEN accreditation. A substantive change report to ACEN will be required six months prior to implementation of the BSN completion program. The Utah Board of Nursing has no regulatory authority over nursing programs that maintain accreditation. RN to BSN completion program curricula from similar universities within the state and region were evaluated and considered in developing the course plan.

Section IV: Program Details

Graduation Standards and Number of Credits Provide graduation standards. Provide justification if number of credit or clock hours exceeds credit limit for this program type described in R401-3.11, which can be found at higheredutah.org/policies/R401. Students will complete the program in 122 to 125 credits. Students who previously have fulfilled general education requirements can complete the program in two semesters of full-time study.

Curriculum and Degree Map Use the tables in Appendix A to provide a list of courses and Appendix B to provide a program Degree Map, also referred to as a graduation plan.

Section V: Institution, Faculty, and Staff Support

Institutional Readiness How do existing administrative structures support the proposed program? Identify new organizational structures that may be needed to deliver the program. Will the proposed program impact the delivery of undergraduate and/or lower-division education? If yes, how? USU has made nursing education programs a priority, and provided extensive support and resources for the current nursing programs. This includes the formation of the Department of Nursing and Health Professions, which was approved by the Board of Regents in July 2014. The head of the Department of Nursing and Health Professions is a nurse educator with extensive experience in developing and administering BSN programs. She will serve as the program administrator for the BSN pre- licensure and completion programs. The Department of Nursing and Health Professions is in the Emma Eccles Jones College of Education and Human Services. The College is well situated to handle the proposed nursing program, as it is currently the home for many clinical and human service programs. Courses were chosen to meet the specific curriculum outcomes and to fulfill USHE criteria for graduation. General education and support courses for the program are in place and offered online regularly through USU. Additionally, technology and instructional support is abundantly available for faculty and students in an online teaching-learning environment.

Faculty Describe faculty development activities that will support this program. Will existing faculty/instructions, including teaching/ graduate assistants, be sufficient to instruct the program or will additional faculty be recruited? If needed, provide plans and resources to secure qualified faculty. Use Appendix C to provide detail on faculty profiles and new hires. Faculty will be in place to support the program. Faculty currently teaching in the pre-licensure BSN program also are qualified to teach in the RN to BSN completion program. As all except four courses are shared between the pre-licensure and completion programs, it is anticipated that the addition of one full-time faculty will be needed for the RN to BSN completion program in its first year.

Staff Describe the staff development activities that will support this program. Will existing staff such as administrative, secretarial/ clerical, laboratory aides, advisors, be sufficient to support the program or will additional staff need to be hired? Provide plans and resources to secure qualified staff, as needed. Existing administrative staff and an advisor are in place in the Department of Nursing and Health Professions to support the program. Secretarial support will be provided by the current staff assistant position in the department.

Student Advisement Describe how students in the proposed program will be advised. A full-time advisor currently works for the department and will continue to provide student advising in the baccalaureate nursing programs. A peer advisor assists the full-time advisor. It is projected that initially the advisor and peer advisor will adequately meet the needs of students in the pre-licensure BSN program and proposed RN to BSN completion program. As necessitated by increases in program enrollment, a second advisor will be hired. Funding is in place for the second advisor position.

Library and Information Resources Describe library resources required to offer the proposed program if any. List new library resources to be acquired. Library resources were acquired with the implementation of the pre-licensure BSN program in fall 2017. The library resources are adequate to address the needs of the proposed RN to BSN completion program including an abundance of online databases offered through the Merrill-Crazier Library providing access to leading nursing and health care journals.

Projected Enrollment and Finance Use Appendix D to provide projected enrollment and information on related operating expenses and funding sources.

Section VI: Program Evaluation

Program Assessment Identify program goals. Describe the system of assessment to be used to evaluate and develop the program. The Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN) requires program review on a regular, continuing basis. In order to meet this requirement, the program will develop a systematic plan of evaluation that addresses achievement of end-of- program student learning outcomes and program outcomes. The systematic plan of evaluation will be used to guide decision- making in the program and provide a mechanism for continuous program assessment and quality improvement.

Program outcomes and expected levels of achievement are: 1. Program completion rates: 75% of full-time students will graduate from the RN to BSN completion program in 3 semesters after beginning the first nursing course; and 85% of part-time BSN students will graduate from the RN to BSN completion program in 6 semesters after beginning the first nursing course. 2. Employment rates: 90% of program graduates will be employed or continue employment as a registered nurse within 6 to 12 months following graduation from the program. 3. Career advancement: 90% of program graduates who seek advancement in their careers as registered nurses are able to advance in their career within 6 to 12 months following graduation from the program. 4. Graduate education: 90% of program graduates who seek graduate education in nursing are enrolled in a graduate nursing program within 6 to 12 months following graduation from the program. 5. Program satisfaction: On the student exit survey, 85% of program graduates strongly agree or agree that they are satisfied with the education they received in the RN to BSN completion program.

Student Standards of Performance List the standards, competencies, and marketable skills students will have achieved at the time of graduation. How and why were these standards and competencies chosen? Include formative and summative assessment measures to be used to determine student learning outcomes. The end-of-program student learning outcomes are consistent with contemporary nursing practice, and were developed by applying established professional nursing standards, guidelines, and competencies including the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice, and Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) competencies. The end-of-program student learning outcomes arise from eight curricular outcome areas, or threads, noted in parenthesis following each student learning outcome.

Upon completion of the program, students will be able to: 1. Integrate reliable evidence from multiple perspectives to inform safe nursing practice and make reasonable clinical decision. (Critical Thinking) 2. Synthesize knowledge from nursing and a liberal education in the planning and provision of nursing care across the lifespan and continuum of health care environments. (Holism) 3. Employ the nursing process and patient care technologies and information systems to support safe nursing practice. (Nursing Process and Safety) 4. Utilize interpersonal and interprofessional communication in collaboration for the promotion of optimal health for individuals, families, communities, and populations. (Communication) 5. Apply ethical and legal standards of professional nursing including accountability and responsibility in the provision of professional nursing care. (Ethics) 6. Integrate leadership and management skills, and knowledge of health care policy, regulatory processes, and cost effectiveness for the improvement of quality care and patient safety. (Advocacy and Leadership) 7. Incorporate principles of health education, promotion, and disease prevention in the professional nursing care of individuals, families, communities, and populations. (Education and Health Promotion) 8. Value caring, respect, dignity, hope, and the human spirit in the provision of professional nursing care. (Respectful Care)

The end-of-program student learning outcomes will be used to organize the curriculum, guide the delivery of instruction, and direct learning activities and evaluation methodologies. Course student learning outcomes will relate to end-of-program student learning outcomes. Formative assessment in courses will include quizzes, instructor-created examinations, standardized examinations, evidence-based practice/research papers, practicum evaluation, leadership project, and community assessment. Student achievement of end-of-program student learning outcomes will be assessed with direct and indirect measures including a student exit survey, capstone portfolio, and capstone project. Appendix A: Program Curriculum List all courses, including new courses, to be offered in the proposed program by prefix, number, title, and credit hours (or credit equivalences). Indicate new courses with an X in the appropriate columns. The total number of credit hours should reflect the number of credits required to be awarded the degree.

ITEM FOR ACTION

East Parking Terrace Project Modification

The East Parking Terrace Project Modification is submitted to the Board of Trustees for consideration. It has received the appropriate administrative review and approval.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

It is the desire of the University to build the proposed East Parking Terrace with one less level than originally planned with a greater setback along 700 North. Subsequently, a second, smaller structure adjacent to the recently finished Central Suites housing unit to replace the lost stalls would be built.

Since the Legislature approved bonding authority for $11,700,000 to construct the original, larger parking terrace and since the reduced-scope will require proportionally less bond proceeds to build, it is our intent to return to the upcoming Interim Legislative Session in August to seek approval to modify this project to be built in two pieces on two sites that are in close proximity and will serve the same needs as originally presented. No additional bonding authority will be requested.

RECOMMENDATION

The President and Vice President for Business and Finance recommend that the Board of Trustees approve the East Parking Terrace Project Modification.

RESOLUTION UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY BOARD OF TRUSTEES

WHEREAS, It is the desire of the University to build the proposed East Parking Terrace with one less level than originally planned; and

RE: Real Property Disposal

The real property disposal described below is submitted to the Utah State University Board of Trustees for review and approval. The proposed action has received appropriate administrative review and approval.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Utah State University desires approval to dispose of a parcel of agricultural land and water shares located at approximately 2000 North 4000 West, Dayton, Idaho as shown on the aerial photo in the attached Exhibit A. The property is 43.24 acres and includes 42 shares of water. USU purchased the land and water in February of 2017 to conduct research on the black walnut, pecan, hazelnut, and butternut trees located on the property. In addition to conducting research on the trees, USU has been raising crops for livestock on the portion of ground that has no orchards. Research has been completed and USU no longer has use for the property due to its remote location.

The proposed selling price is based on an appraisal report recently obtained by USU which concluded a current fair market value of $297,000 for the land and water. The property will be listed for sale on the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS).

RECOMMENDATION

The President and Vice President for Business and Finance recommend that the Board of Trustees approves the real property disposition located in Dayton Idaho.
