CONSENT REPORT
Regent McMillan presented for review and action the Consent Report as described in the docket materials, including:
Gifts Finance & Operations Consent Report Mission Fulfillment Consent Report Guidelines Related to Ticket Courtesies
A motion was made and seconded.
Regent Rosha offered the following amendment to item D of the Consent Report by deleting the current language and inserting the following:
Guidelines Related to Ticket Policies The Board of Regents has a long history of ensuring regent participation in and oversight of University of Minnesota cultural and athletic events. Consistent with the Regents’ role as ambassadors and agents of the University of Minnesota, and to maximize oversight and representation by regents without regard to their personal financial circumstances, the University is directed to implement the following guidelines related to tickets provided to Regents: Upon request, Regents will be provided access to up to four tickets to University of Minnesota cultural or athletic events. Regents may request additional tickets for exceptional circumstances through the Office of the Board of Regents. To encourage attendance at the broadest range of University activities and events, each Regent will be provided annually one pass to all University athletics facilities subject to the rules and regulations of the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics for all-access passes. Tickets in the Regents and President’s box at TCF Bank Stadium shall be made by Regent request to OBR with identification of each Regent’s guests. Regents are encouraged to host and/or provide tickets to cultural and athletic events to a wide variety of University of Minnesota constituents, including civic leaders, alumni, students, employees, prospective students and employees, and past, current, and future donors. Regents are invited to periodically invite family members to attend cultural and athletic events to interact with public constituencies and observe the experience of similar attendees. As agents of the University, Regents are expected to use tickets to cultural and athletic events in good faith and with legitimate oversight and hosting purposes and shall seek to maximize the business purpose and value of tickets issued through the regents. Non-use of Regent issued tickets is strongly discouraged. However, because unused tickets render no value to a Regent or any other party, unused tickets shall not be
Board of Regents July 11, 2018
Page 11 of 99 DRAFT
considered value provided to a Regent or third party. OBR shall inform BOR leadership if a pattern of a non-use of tickets requested and received by any individual Regent. If a Regent receives access via season tickets to cultural or athletic events and will be absent from Minnesota for a period of two or more weeks during the respective season, the Regent shall return the tickets for that period to OBR for alternative distribution or coordinate with OBR for an appropriate business use of the tickets during the absence. Regents may be reimbursed for reasonable expenses related to attendance at cultural or athletic events by filing a proper expense report. If a Regent uses a ticket or provides a ticket to a third party inconsistent with the purposes described herein, the Regent shall document and report the use to OBR to permit production of a Form 1099-MISC reporting for the value of such ticket. These guidelines are intended to comply with IRS regulations regarding business use of tickets provided to Regents of a public University. If any changes to relevant tax law occur or if a formal determination by the IRS is rendered in conflict with these provisions, the BOR will as soon as practicable modify these guidelines in compliance thereof.
Rosha emphasized the importance of changing the word from courtesies to policies in the amendment header, and provided some context for the proposed amendment.
The amendment was seconded.
In response to a question from Regent Sviggum, Rosha clarified that the proposed amendment requires Regents to return unused tickets only during an absence of two or more weeks, not for the entire season.
Regents Beeson, Powell, and McMillan expressed concern about approving an amendment without input from the University’s tax attorney. Powell noted that passing the amendment without counsel might give the impression that the Board is writing its own policy.
In response to a question from Regent Omari, Executive Director Steeves and McMillan clarified that this meeting of the Board is the last opportunity to make a change to the existing guidelines before the August 31, 2018 reporting deadline previously established by the University.
Regent Hsu asked for information on the University of Michigan's ticket policy. Steeves shared that the University of Michigan is currently reviewing its ticket guidelines, and is the only member of the Big Ten providing a significant number of tickets to trustees that does not file 1099s.
Regent Cohen and Regent Johnson offered support for the originally proposed guidelines in the docket. Regent Johnson cautioned that not filing a 1099 could damage public perception of the Board.
Rosha noted that some Regents see tickets as a gift, whereas others see them as a necessary tool for their work. He emphasized that his proposed amendment prevents Regents from being taxed on tickets for games they did not attend. He asserted that senior leaders at the University are held to similar standards as those outlined in his proposed amendment, and that Board policy should be no different.
McMillan called for a vote, and the Board voted against the Rosha amendment. Rosha called for a division, and McMillan asked for a show of hands. The Board voted 6-6, and the Rosha amendment failed. Regents Beeson, Cohen, Johnson, Lucas, McMillan and Powell voted no.

McMillan called for a return to discussion on the original Consent Report.
In response to a question from Omari, Vice President Berthelsen stated that the U Pass cost will not increase in the next fiscal year. Regent Hsu asked if the University will take a loss if the estimated revenue is not reached for U Pass sales. Berthelsen confirmed that there will be no financial consequence to the University.
The Board voted unanimously to approve the Consent Report as it appears in the docket.
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT: MINNESOTA STATE BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION TRADES COUNCIL
Regent McMillan invited Vice President Brown and Patti Dion, Senior Director of Employee Relations, Human Resources, to present for action the proposed Collective Bargaining Agreement for the Minnesota State Building and Construction Trades Council, as detailed in the docket.
Dion described the unique nature of the contract, which is an umbrella agreement covering approximately 300 employees working across 19 trades in University Services on the Twin Cities campus. She noted that the proposal will increase shift differential rates by $0.50 per hour starting on July 1, 2018, and outlined the financial impact.
Regent Sviggum asked for clarification on whether the prevailing wage is set during union negotiations, or if it is set by the Department of Labor and Industry (DOLI). Dion clarified that the prevailing wage set by DOLI applies to the University, and that the prevailing wage is a result of negotiations with unions assigned by the state Legislature, as required by the Public Employee Labor Relations Act.
A motion was made and seconded, and the Board voted unanimously to approve the Collective Bargaining Agreement for the Minnesota State Building and Construction Trades Council, and approve the resolution, as follows:
WHEREAS, the parties have met and negotiated and have reached agreement regarding terms and conditions of employment regarding the employees of this bargaining unit; and
WHEREAS, the Minnesota State Building and Construction Trades Council has ratified acceptance of this agreement; and
WHEREAS, according to Board of Regents Policy: Reservation and Delegation of Authority, approval of labor agreements by the Board of Regents is required;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that on the recommendation of the President, the Board of Regents approves this labor agreement as outlined in the docket for July 11, 2018.
APPOINTMENT OF VICE PRESIDENT FOR CLINICAL AFFAIRS AND DEAN OF THE MEDICAL SCHOOL
Regent McMillan invited President Kaler to present for action the proposed appointment of Jakub Tolar as the Vice President for Clinical Affairs and Dean of the Medical School, as detailed in the docket.
Kaler voiced his support of the appointment and for the proposed reorganization of the Academic Health Center (AHC) leadership structure. He noted that the goals of the
Board of Regents July 11, 2018
Page 13 of 99 DRAFT reorganization are to strengthen collaboration in the University’s research and teaching mission in the health sciences, and to increase operational alignment. He outlined the proposed reporting structure for the new positions, and emphasized that the reorganization will not increase the department headcount of senior administrators.
McMillan applauded the work to streamline the AHC structure and asked about the consultative process. Kaler explained that he consulted with a number of faculty members, some of whom suggested that the Dean of the Medical School should be a separate role from the Vice President for Clinical Affairs. He shared that he had decided against that recommendation.
A motion was made and seconded.
Regent Beeson expressed his support. He voiced concern that the new structure lists a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for the AHC, in addition to the CFO of the entire University. He encouraged further conversations about bringing the AHC into the University to help with cost savings. Kaler noted that each college has a CFO who has a dotted line report to Senior Vice President Burnett. He also indicated that his team will continue to consolidate roles whenever possible.
Regent Omari referenced the restructuring and asked if aspirational institutions were reviewed for comparison. Kaler noted that a variety of institutions were analyzed, and that the structure differed dramatically from one to the next depending upon whether the institution owns a hospital. He described examples from other universities.
Regent Cohen asked how the four direct reports to the Vice President for Clinical Affairs and Dean of the Medical School were chosen. Kaler responded that the positions were chosen primarily by importance, and described some of the other factors that went into making those decisions.
In response to a question from Regent Hsu, Kaler responded that while the Associate Vice President position is new in the proposed organizational chart, there is no increase in staff because someone is already performing those duties. Regent Hsu expressed appreciation for the administration closely monitoring the head count and shared support for the reorganization.
Regent Simonson voiced support for Tolar’s appointment. He asked how the Office of Technology Commercialization (OTC) relates to the proposed restructure. Kaler responded that OTC reports to the Vice President for Research and that he does not believe OTC should be included in the proposed organizational chart.
Regent Johnson shared his praise of Tolar, citing a recent encounter with a community member who characterized Tolar as a valuable asset to the University and one of the best in his field.
The Board voted unanimously to approve the proposed employment agreement for Jakub Tolar as the Vice President for Clinical Affairs and Dean of the Medical School, as follows:
THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT is entered into as of this 2nd day of July, 2018, by and between Regents of the University of Minnesota, a Minnesota constitutional educational corporation (the “University”), and Dr. Jakub Tolar (“Dr. Tolar” or “you”).

Board of Regents July 11, 2018
Page 17 of 99 DRAFT
McMillan asked if alumni believe the value of, and respect for, their degree increases when the rankings of the University increase. Lewis responded that rankings and caliber are very important to alumni and are seen as adding value to their degree.
In response to a question from Regent Johnson, Ulsaker Wiese responded that engagement factors vary greatly depending on the age bracket, with older alumni caring about giving back to the University and younger alumni desiring mentorship.
Regent Lucas expressed appreciation for what the UMAA is able to accomplish with a $4.9 million budget, and asked how that budget compares to other Big Ten institutions. Lewis stated that the budget is significantly lower, but is comparable to other institutions with similar numbers of alumni. In response to a question from Lucas, Lewis stated that UMAA does not share funding with UMF but does share non-monetary resources such as databases.
Regent Cohen urged colleagues to recognize the importance of providing a high-quality education when discussing making cuts to the University.
Regent Omari asked if UMAA tries to mirror the demographics of the alumni population they serve when making decisions about staffing and board members. Lewis responded that UMAA is in the early stages of a plan to mirror alumni demographics within the staff, and noted that the board has a Student and Recent Alumni Council that represents a younger demographic.
Regent Rosha expressed appreciation for the work of UMAA. He noted that he does not consider a focus on excellence to be at odds with affordability. He made suggestions for a better legislative engagement outcome moving forward.
Regent Anderson shared his support for the MN Sparks program. He conveyed appreciation for the alumni emails, which he noted tend to be customized to his interests. He asked if UMAA had considered discontinuing printed materials to cut costs. Lewis noted that she expects a shift to take place over time, but that based on alumni surveys there is a need to continue printing the alumni magazine for now.
ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
Regent McMillan invited Mark Coyle, Director of Intercollegiate Athletics; Senior Vice President Burnett; Rhonda McFarland, Deputy Athletics Director; and Associate Vice President Tonneson to present the Annual Report on Intercollegiate Athletics, as detailed in the docket.
Coyle described his focus on accountability, consistency in leadership, and building relationships on campus. He reported that the Athletics Department had 100 percent participation in the training to prevent sexual misconduct before the required deadline of June 30, 2018. He described the importance of the department’s guiding principles and noted that student-athletes have sustained an average GPA of over 3.2 for nine consecutive semesters. Coyle provided an overview of the budget and described several facilities upgrades, including the opening of Athletes Village. He discussed some of the challenges, including lower ticket sales and a crowded fundraising market.
Burnett provided details and historical perspective on fundraising for Gopher Athletics. He described the decrease in state support for Athletics in the past 15 years, and shared an overview of the subsidies each campus receives from the University for athletics programs. He and President Kaler emphasized the value of Gopher Athletics to the University.
Regent Lucas expressed hope for a positive cash flow for Gopher Athletics women’s sports, and asked about other Big Ten institutions. Coyle reported that he believes Nebraska makes a profit from women’s volleyball.

Regent Beeson reminded the Board that every athletics department receives subsidies from the larger institution. He emphasized the incalculable value that Gopher Athletics brings to the University. He concluded by voicing concern over the changing media landscape and the impact it may have on future revenue. President Kaler echoed Beeson’s concern.
Regent Omari expressed appreciation for the positive change in audit results. He asked for details on several financial statistics. He also asked for perspective on a recent study claiming lower graduation rates for black male athletes. Burnett and Coyle committed to producing answers, and clarified one point about how subsidies are allocated. Omari concurred with Beeson’s assertion that Gopher Athletics holds intrinsic value, but offered the perspective that it may be worth examining some sports more closely to assess their return on investment.
Regent Rosha expressed his belief that sports programs are fundamental to the institution. He described some of the dynamics on each campus that make athletics revenue and investment drastically different depending on location.
Regent Johnson praised the department for its improvements in recent years. He cautioned the Board against becoming engaged in daily operations of the Athletics Department.
Regent Hsu conveyed concern over player safety. Coyle assured the Board that safety is a top priority. Hsu cited concerns over the way some of the finances are characterized in the presentation, requesting copies of the budget for the past three years.
Regent Anderson expressed concern over the decrease in ticket sales, and noted that he expects the decline to continue. He described the unique challenges of being located within the Twin Cities, which has significant competition.
Regent Powell urged the Athletics Department to focus on mitigating the risk from declining media income in the future. Burnett reassured Powell that this risk is being closely monitored as part of the overall institutional risk profile.
In response to a question from Regent Sviggum, Coyle noted that students in Athletes Village are not segregated from the general student body. Sviggum shared suggestions on expanding competitions to include regional opponents. Coyle shared some challenges posed by such an effort.
SYSTEMWIDE STRATEGIC PLAN: SUPPORTING THE MISSION
Regent McMillan invited Senior Vice President Burnett to present the final of five systemwide strategic planning presentations, on Supporting the Mission, as detailed in the docket.
President Kaler recalled the topics of the previous four presentations, and summarized the importance of this final section regarding alignment of strategic priorities with budget and operating decisions.
Burnett outlined the goal of University operations as ensuring appropriate resources to achieve the goals, mission and priorities of the institution. He briefly detailed how University operations supports each of the four previous sections of the Systemwide Strategic Plan. He stressed the importance of ensuring that this part of the plan be aligned with the University Progress Card, and outlined several examples. He discussed the goal of optimizing human resources, information technologies, and asset management. He described the development of a biennial budget request that aligns with the strategic priorities.

McMillan noted that since the meeting was running long the Board would not discuss this item now. He added that the Board will have time at its retreat for discussion. Kaler added that the Board had received a draft copy of the Systemwide Strategic Plan for that discussion.
REPORT OF THE LITIGATION REVIEW COMMITTEE

Exhibit A
President Emeritus Role in Business Development, Research, and Philanthropy
Overall Goal Continue the accelerated fundraising momentum of the University of Minnesota Driven campaign, with its stated goal of $4B raised by June 30, 2021.
Key Objectives Deepen engagement among and giving by key stakeholders (business community, government leaders, industry partners, leadership-level donors) and University leaders.
Focus on initiatives that align with the Driven campaign’s priorities and address the grand challenges of our time.
Ensure a seamless and cohesive University leadership transition that does not interrupt the Driven campaign momentum, gift production, and private research grants.
Demonstrate the highest level of integrity and authenticity during period of change.
Targeted Strategies
1. Work with the Foundation to leverage faculty and U leadership relationships to bring stakeholders together to establish transformative public-private partnerships in an effort to solve key challenges. Work with Fortune 500 companies in MN to seek to better understand how the UM can be the research partner of choice. If UM is already a key research partner, ask why? If not a key research partner, why not?
2. Work with the Foundation to activate other key initiatives that utilize the President Emeritus’s energy, expertise, understanding of complex scientific issues, and many
Board of Regents August 9, 2018
Page 26 of 99 DRAFT
relationships across industry and the academy to catalyze emerging “big ideas” at the University and build momentum to help them advance through research and/or philanthropy
3. Work with the Foundation to engage a select group of top individual benefactors who have strong relationships with the President Emeritus in an effort to complete key gift conversations and/or advance philanthropic initiatives.
4. Actively participate in and contribute to the leadership transition strategy, as directed by the Board of Regents, including any “goodbye tour” and/or “welcome tour” that might be planned and implemented.
Regent Hsu asked for clarification on the honorary chair position to be established by the Board of Regents, and whether it has a financial component.
McMillan clarified that the honorary chair was modeled after a position created during President Bruininks’ transition but never fully implemented. He added that the position would extend to Kaler’s faculty tenure. He noted modest financial compensation, and that the Board will have control over what the position entails.
Regent Simonson asked whether the full Board will vote on this compensation, and McMillan responded that the Board will take formal action.
Regent Beeson called for a roll call vote. The vote was as follows:
Regent Anderson Yes Regent Beeson No Regent Cohen Yes Regent Hsu Yes Regent Johnson No Regent Lucas Yes Regent McMillan Yes Regent Omari Yes Regent Powell Yes Regent Rosha Yes Regent Simonson Yes Regent Sviggum Yes
The Board voted 10-2 and the President’s employment agreement was approved.
Regent Cohen noted that her yes vote was reluctant because she believes the President has done an outstanding job.
PRESIDENTIAL SEARCH
Regent McMillan opened a discussion of the presidential search, and announced that nominations would be accepted through August 15, 2018 for members of the Presidential Search Advisory Committee (PSAC). He affirmed the selection of Storbeck/Pimentel & Associates as the executive search firm.
McMillan invited Alberto Pimentel, Managing Partner, and Will Gates, Partner, Storbeck/ Pimentel & Associates, to discuss the search process for the 17th president of the University.
Pimentel outlined the firm’s plan for recruitment, and strong commitment to diversity and pursuing high-quality nontraditional candidates who might not normally apply for this type of
Board of Regents August 9, 2018
Page 27 of 99 DRAFT position. He described the timeline for the search, including a comprehensive plan to meet with faculty, staff, students and other key stakeholders to gather feedback on important characteristics in the future president. He described how the firm will work with the PSAC and generally outlined the kind of work it will do.
In response to a question from Regent Sviggum, Pimentel replied that his firm does not represent any of the other major universities currently looking for a president.
Regent Simonson asked about the firm’s experience with nontraditional candidates. Pimentel noted that his firm has placed more than half of the 11 nontraditional candidates currently serving as president or chancellor at major universities.
In response to comments and questions from Regent Hsu regarding the application of the Minnesota Open Meeting Law and Minnesota Government Data Practices Act to presidential searches at the University of Minnesota, McMillan explained that the Office of the General Counsel is developing guidance to the Board on those topics.
Pimentel described the candidate outreach plan and the importance of professional diversity. He detailed steps in the assessment phase, which will be followed by candidate interviews.
Regent Sviggum asked if it is appropriate for Board members to reach out to potential candidates themselves. Pimentel responded that Board members are welcome to make recommendations, and that all recommendations should be channeled through the PSAC chair.
Regent Anderson echoed McMillan’s emphasis on the gravity of the search. He asked how Storbeck/Pimentel will balance the need for leadership, academic heritage, and the importance of free thinking in the future president. Pimentel stressed that his firm will rely on the PSAC and Board members to identify the qualities that are truly important. In response to a question from Anderson, Pimentel stressed that if the PSAC or the Board decide that the pool of candidates is insufficient, they should prompt Storbeck/Pimentel to expand the search.
Simonson asked about a failed search that was led by Storbeck/Pimentel at the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system. Pimentel noted that he personally was not involved in that search, but shared his view that certain aspects of the search should have been revisited.
Hsu asked about the process for creating the position profile, and whether the Board will be involved. He recalled past presidential searches when only one candidate was presented as a finalist to the Board. He also noted that the other finalists in the last presidential search dropped out late in the process because they did not want their names disclosed. McMillan clarified that the Board will have the opportunity to ratify and approve the charge to the PSAC.
Pimentel committed to ensuring that the Board will be presented with more than one final candidate.
Regent Cohen asked if the Board will have final approval of the position profile created by the committee. McMillan responded that the Board will have input, and that it can decide whether formal approval by the Board is necessary.
Simonson asked how the PSAC will be chosen. McMillan responded that he and Regent Powell have begun to map out the types of stakeholders they envision as members of the PSAC.
Regent Rosha shared his belief that community feedback should be received by the entire Board. He expressed concern that the PSAC and Board may not be aligned on which candidates should move forward. McMillan reiterated that the Board will ratify the charge and
Board of Regents August 9, 2018
Page 28 of 99 DRAFT composition of the PSAC. He noted that there will be more full Board involvement in this presidential search than in the previous one.
Regent Powell echoed Rosha’s concern, and expressed hope for an inclusive search process since the Board is charged with making the ultimate decision.
Regent Beeson shared his disappointment in learning about Storbeck/Pimentel’s failed search from the Star Tribune. He expressed concern that the firm may be going into the field too quickly with an inadequate sense of the specific characteristics needed for the future president.
In response to comments by Hsu, McMillan and Pimentel clarified that the Board will provide guidance to the PSAC and the PSAC will use that framework to inform priorities of the search.
Anderson asked what Pimentel considers to be the top attributes of successful land-grant university presidents. Pimentel responded that he considers the top four attributes to be leadership in vision, identifying new revenue streams, ensuring academic excellence, and commitment to accessibility of education.
Gates described trends in the landscape of public higher education and expectations for the future. He noted that the University will search in the same pool of candidates as other institutions, and stressed the importance of identifying the needs that are specific to the University of Minnesota. He asked the Board to consider where they want the University to be, and what kind of person will achieve that vision.
Regent Omari described some of the most critical qualities he would like to see, including focusing on students, understanding the importance of shared governance, and having a vested interest in Minnesota. He specified that candidates must understand the political history of the state and of indigenous lands.
Cohen concurred with Omari, adding that candidates must have a specific interest in serving the University of Minnesota, not just any institution.
Rosha expressed interest in analyzing how the University hires and makes decisions about compensation. He stressed the need for candidates who are more committed to serving students and the state than being highly compensated. He conveyed his approval of the hiring of Storbeck/Pimentel.
Simonson expressed a desire for candidates who will prioritize outreach to Greater Minnesota, and noted the importance of agriculture to the state.
Powell shared that the ideal candidates should be energized by the University’s mission and committed to fulfilling it with integrity. He echoed the assertion made by other Regents that candidates must have an interest in this institution specifically.
Beeson noted that in listening to his colleagues, candidates need to be generalists with a working knowledge of finance and a desire to work with academic health.
Johnson conveyed interest in understanding candidates’ vision for the institution for the next 5-10 years. He noted that the future president should be willing to challenge the Board if it is not aligned with the vision and strategy of the institution. He recommended looking for candidates who are well versed in politics, but without strong personal political views.
Pimentel assured the Board that his firm will work to ensure a strong candidate pool, and urged the Board to give honest feedback if they find that is not the case.

Fourth Quarter Data: April - June, 2018

Executive Summary Sponsored awards were up $48.7M in FY2018, a 6.5% increase over last fiscal year. This was primarily the result of increases in both Federal and State funding. Federal funding accounted for the majority of the increase with award count and amount up, 199 and $55.6M respectively. Sponsored research funding from Private sources declined, mainly due to a 23.5% ($19.7M) decline in funding from business & industry sources. The Medical School was down $14.2M (6.7%) and the School of Public Health was down $15.2M (19.3%) despite both showing an increase in the total number of awards received. Discussions with other higher education institutions suggest that NIH (the Medical School's primary source of research funding) activity was slow in FY2018 across the board. However, as of July (FY2019), the University is seeing a large uptick in NIH activity; this is probably NIH fully funding their awards from FY2018.
There was a $10.7M increase in fourth quarter sponsored research funding, a 6.6% increase compared to this same quarter in FY2017. Funding from NIH and the U.S. Department of Defense contributed most heavily to the increase. Fourth quarter funding from Private sources decreased compared to the same quarter of the previous year; this decrease is mainly due to fewer high- dollar awards, fewer total awards in general, and a smaller average award amount.
The annual status of research report to the Board in December will provide a more detailed analysis. The big takeaway for research funding in fiscal year 2018 is the sizable increases in funding from both federal and non-federal government entities.

Quarter 4 Key Points • Both award count and amount were up in Q4 FY2018 (28 and $10.7M, respectively). • The average award amount in Q4 FY2018 was $5.4K higher than that of Q4 FY2017. • The increase in funding is primarily due to more NIH and U.S. Department of Defense funding. • Excluding $1M+ awards, the average award amount is $6.9K greater than that of Q4 FY2017. • The State of Minnesota funded two fewer high-dollar awards this year, resulting in $8.3M less in high-dollar award funding. Excluding high-dollar awards from the analysis, State & Local funding increased by $1.7M. • Business & Industry sponsors awarded three fewer $1M+ awards this year. This contributed $9.0M to the $10.7M (39.5%) decline in funding. • Funding from NIH increased by $18.3M (28.7%). This is largely due to $10.3M more in funding from $1M+ awards than last year. • The increase in Other Federal funding is largely due to four $1M+ awards totaling $4.6M. The rest of the increase is from more awards and a higher average award amount.
• The $10.6M (18.8%) decrease in funding for the Medical School is primarily due to seven fewer $1M+ awards, resulting in a $13.5M decrease from high-dollar awards. Excluding these awards, funding increased by $2.8M (6.8%). • The Other Health Sciences group received six $1M+ awards for a total of $16.5M ($8.3M more than last year). This is the primary driver of the group's $9.9M (67.4%) increase. • Funding for the Other TC Provost group declined by $6.4M (61.3%). This is primarily due to no $1M+ awards this year compared to one for $6.7M last year.

Fiscal Year-to-Date Summary • Awards were up $48.7M (6.5%) in FY2018 with 184 more awards than FY2017. • There were eighteen more $1M+ awards, resulting in a $10.7M increase in funding from high-dollar awards. • The average award amount was about $4K more than that of FY2017 YTD ($157.7K compared to $153.6K). Excluding $1M+ awards from the analysis, the average award amount is still $4K greater this year. • Excluding high-dollar awards, funding is $38.0M higher than that of FY2017. This suggests that the higher award count and average award amount drove most of the increase in funding. • Funding from Business & Industry sponsors declined by $19.7M (23.5%). These sponsors funded $20.6M less this year in $1M+ awards. • NIH funding increased $21.6M (8.8%) over last year with $7.2M of the increase due to nine more $1M+ awards. The rest of the increase primarily comes from more awards. • About $6.4M of Other Federal's $25.1M (20.4%) increase comes from $1M+ awards. The majority of the increase is from more awards and a larger average award amount. • State & Local funding increased $14.0M (18.3%). Most of this increase ($12.0M) came from $1M+ awards.
• The Medical School's funding declined by $14.2M (6.7%), receiving $17.3M less in funding from eight fewer $1M+ awards. • CLA received three $1M+ awards this year, contributing $11.0M to the college's $12.9M (96.7%) increase. • Funding for the College of Biological Sciences increased by $11.1M; this is entirely due to the college receiving 62 more awards this year.

Board of Regents September 14, 2018
AGENDA ITEM: Systemwide Strategic Priorities for 2018-19
Review Review + Action Action X Discussion
This is a report required by Board policy.
PRESENTER: President Eric W. Kaler
PURPOSE & KEY POINTS
The purpose of this item is to update and seek guidance from the Board of Regents on the University of Minnesota Systemwide Strategic Plan in light of President Kaler’s departure from office in June 2019.
In the fall of 2016, the University launched a strategic planning process to guide the five-campus system. The Systemwide Strategic Framework was adopted by the Board in June 2017 and was intended to better align institutional resources and leverage the University’s strengths as a system, including distinct campus areas of strength. This marked the end of the first phase of planning.
The next phase determined system priorities in focus areas that align with the University’s mission and the framework:
Teaching & Learning Research & Discovery Outreach & Public Service Medicine & Health Supporting the Mission
The Board discussed all five areas of the proposed Systemwide Strategic Plan during the 2017-18 fiscal year. Throughout this planning process it has become even clearer that, collectively, the system is stronger together than any of the campuses alone.
Pending further consultation with the Board, and reflecting the upcoming presidential transition, the administration intends to move forward with some key elements of the Systemwide Strategic Plan – now characterized as Systemwide Strategic Priorities.
Introduction to Systemwide Strategic Priorities
The Systemwide Strategic Priorities are intended to align with the University of Minnesota Progress Card, the annual compact process, the annual capital investment process, and the biennial budget processes. They are intended to work synergistically with campus plans:
Page 70 of 99
Crookston: UMC Strategic Planning efforts include initiatives focused on Strategic Enrollment Management; Rural Economic Development; Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; and Employee Engagement. Duluth: The UMD Strategic Plan will provide a renewed focus on the six institutional goals identified in the 2011 Strategic Plan, include measures for each goal, and establish new strategic initiatives to further advance UMD toward future successes. Morris: UMM is engaged in creating a strategic vision and plan, with anticipated completion in 2019, that builds upon its current strengths to assure a sustainable and forward-looking future as a rigorous undergraduate liberal arts institution. Rochester: UMR’s strategic plan is entitled Vision Drives Our Strategic Growth, and outlines strategic growth priorities of learning, resource stewardship, collaboration, and communication. Twin Cities: Driving Tomorrow, the Strategic Plan for the Twin Cities campus, is a focused framework for accelerating advancement of excellence in research, teaching, and outreach, established in 2014.
A. Teaching & Learning Strategic Priority: System Enrollment
University Teaching & Learning provides extraordinary educational opportunities across Minnesota and delivers world-class undergraduate, graduate, and professional education for students, communities, and the State.
The University of Minnesota System Enrollment Plan outlines system enrollment goals, targets, and related strategies over a six-year period: from fall 2018 to spring 2024. The strategies are informed by analysis of the key factors impacting the enrollment environment and are advanced by collaboration across the five University of Minnesota campuses. To manage this new, cross-campus process of system enrollment planning, a permanent council of leaders from the five campuses has been convened by the executive vice president and provost. The council will oversee implementation and continuous revision.
The plan identifies the following seven system enrollment strategies to grow system enrollment by 3,000 students over the next six years:
1. Decrease flow of Minnesota students to four-year institutional competitors. 2. Recruit applicants to other system campuses when not admitted to a campus of first choice. 3. Develop and improve academic pathway programs. 4. Develop system financial aid strategy and improve messaging around net costs, pricing, and value proposition of the University of Minnesota Brand. 5. Develop and brand a one-stop portal to online courses and programs across the University of Minnesota System. 6. Improve support for a system-campus model to strengthen culture of system coordination. 7. Emphasize benefits of the University of Minnesota Brand and build awareness of the distinctiveness of each campus. Communicate the brand collectively.
B. Research & Discovery System Priority: Amplify Research that Addresses Core and Emerging Needs Across Minnesota
University research and discovery focuses on areas of excellence and connects to issues of importance to Minnesota and beyond. The strategy to Amplify Research to Address Core & Emerging Needs in Minnesota builds on the highly successful MnDRIVE program – Minnesota’s Discovery,
Page 71 of 99
Research, and InnoVation Economy –where research in the current MnDRIVE priority areas (robotics, global food, environment, brain conditions, and cancer clinical trials) targets issues to enhance the quality of life and economic vitality in Minnesota and beyond.
The framework developed for MnDRIVE to conduct research in the emerging research priorities including opioid addiction, aging, medical devices and systems, renewable energy and sustainability, data analytics, and social disparity will expand. This will continue to connect innovative research and discovery to outcomes of importance to the people and the economy of Minnesota. The current and emerging MnDRIVE priority areas will engage the research community across all five campuses and will create a collaborative culture that sustains and nourishes diverse field shapers and reduces barriers to success. To fully reap societal benefits of the research, the University will explicitly engage the social sciences, arts, and humanities. Initiatives will include:
1. Grow the MnDRIVE program beyond current priority areas to address state legislative priorities such as aging and opioid addiction. 2. Engage the social sciences, arts, and humanities to enhance current and emerging MnDRIVE priority outcomes. 3. Support interdisciplinary research teams that tackle urgent social issues including educational opportunity gaps, food security, homelessness, and immigration.
C. Outreach & Public Service System Priority: Optimize Communications & Marketing
University outreach and public service delivers the University’s mission with maximum impact, efficiently uses University resources, and effectively advocates for the University and the state.
Adopting a Systemwide Approach to Enhance Communication
A constantly evolving media environment has changed the way people consume information, as well as how professional and citizen journalists develop news and information. That means the University must continue to align its communications and marketing to attract traditional and social media attention, enhance our reputation, and deliver information in ways that resonate with our internal and external stakeholders, including the people of Minnesota. Efforts in this system strategic priority will include:
Implement and enforce system communication guidelines.
Design, create, and deliver a style guide for all system communication and marketing professionals that is attentive to issues of equity and diversity. Promote consistent application of the style guide across the system. Design, create, and deliver public relations and marketing training to colleagues systemwide. Provide internal professional development to enhance the skill set of all communication and marketing professionals. Training will be delivered in person, over the web, and via content provided by University Relations supported by professionals across the University.
Enhance centralized service offerings to help campuses, colleges, and units align with University of Minnesota priorities, achieve their objectives, and promote the University’s reputation.
Page 72 of 99
Promote services that help reduce duplication in individual units, and leverage resources and opportunities across the system. Enhance awareness and outcomes across the University System through traditional and technological targeting. Design, create, and deliver tools and resources for increased media penetration through all channels, including traditional (e.g., newspaper, television) and social media channels. Increase content aggregation to leverage and amplify the University’s strongest content. Exploring solutions that support a systemwide approach to leveraging content produced by one unit that can be repurposed and amplified by other units. Increase use of targeted content for specific stakeholders based on user designated interests. Pursue a tool that will enable units to design, create, and deliver targeted digital communications featuring unit-specific and systemwide content.
D. Medicine & Health System Priority: Enhance Clinical Partnerships
University programs in medicine and health accelerate improvements in the standard of care to improve health through innovation, patient-centered care, prevention of disease, and high-quality interprofessional training across Minnesota.
Enhancing Clinical Partnerships in Medicine & Health
The University will increase and broaden interdisciplinary opportunities with clinical programs, including clinical research and clinical education and training, to improve patient experience and outcomes, with the following concrete objectives:
Creation of an aligned care delivery system. Pursue an aligned Pediatric Academic Health System. Formalize partnerships with health systems statewide to provide care and expand our clinical trial and training capacity to deliver the best in innovative, accountable, compassionate care across the state, which will also support statewide workforce priorities. Continue to pursue University of Minnesota Physicians’ (UMP) functionality as a multidisciplinary academic group practice. Pursue and respond to opportunities to streamline operations supporting clinical and academic work.
E. Supporting the Mission System Priority: Optimize Resource Use Across the System
University operations support the mission through a continued focus on long-term financial sustainability; optimization of human, facility, technology, and financial resources; and operational efficiency and excellence in all academic and administrative units.
The University’s strategic system priority to Optimize Resource Use Across the System is intended to ensure that the financial and administrative infrastructure of the institution is appropriate to fulfill the University’s goals, fully understanding and supporting the central role of the academic vision for the University. Paramount to our work is a strong service orientation, transparent financial systems, a robust reporting environment, and a stable financial framework that will support senior leadership in accomplishing institutional goals and future planning.
Page 73 of 99
To optimize the creation and use of resources (financial, facilities, human, and technology) on all campuses, the University will pursue the following initiatives:
Generate new revenues, internally and externally. Prioritize mission support and administrative reallocations. Prioritize service levels and appropriate delivery strategies for facilities, information technology, and human resources.

AGENDA ITEM: Report on Private Giving & Update on Driven Campaign
x Review Review + Action Action Discussion
PRESENTERS: Kathleen Schmidlkofer, President and CEO, UMF Nancy E. Lindahl, Driven Campaign Co-Chair John E. Lindahl, Driven Campaign Co-Chair
PURPOSE & KEY POINTS
The purpose of this item is to provide the annual report on fundraising and the impact of private giving across the University.
In September 2017, the University of Minnesota publicly launched Driven: The University of Minnesota Campaign. The ten-year campaign has a goal to raise $4 billion in private investments for the University between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2021. In August 2018, the University’s progress toward that goal surpassed the $3 billion mark.
In fiscal year 2018 (July 1, 2017-June 30, 2018), UMF recorded its second best year of private gifts to the University, with $343 million from more than 72,049 donors (54 percent from alumni). The largest area of support was to students ($104 million) followed by academic program support ($99 million), capital improvements ($38 million), research ($50 million), outreach and community engagement ($22 million), and faculty support ($30 million).
The $343 million in total private gift production includes $219 million in cash and pledges, $107 million in future commitment (estate and deferred), and $17 million in property and in-kind gifts. Combined with an estimated $133 million in private grants, the total private investment in the University reached a new record of $476 million in FY18.
Current cash gifts and investment earnings provided $191 million in private gifts to the University in fiscal year 2018 to be used as donors direct to fund students, faculty, research, programs, and other strategic investments.
The foundation oversees $2.3 billion in endowed funds. According to the most recent higher education rankings by VSE (Voluntary Support of Education), the University of Minnesota gift production ranks 5th out of the 14 Big 10 institutions and 8th out of all public institutions in the country. The same rankings place the University’s combined endowment of $3.5 billion at 5th in the Big 10 and 9th among all public institutions in the country.

Committee Charge The Presidential Search Advisory Committee (PSAC) is charged with recommending 3-4 unranked lead candidates for President of the University of Minnesota. To complete this charge, the committee is expected to:
Solicit input from the University community regarding the qualities needed in the University’s next president; Use core leadership criteria outlined by the Board of Regents and qualities identified by the University community to build a position profile to guide candidate recruitment; Invite nominations and broadly recruit candidates; Validate and document adequacy of the candidate pool before proceeding to interviews; and Carefully evaluate candidates against the core leadership criteria and assess institutional ‘fit’ based on input from the University community.
In addition, PSAC members are expected to:
Play an active role in all facets of the committee’s work; Set aside parochial concerns and act in the best interest of the entire University community; Disclose to the PSAC chair any potential conflicts of interest;
September 14, 2018
Page 91 of 99 Serve as ambassadors on behalf of the University; Adequately prepare for and attend all committee meetings, unless an absence is excused by the chair; Understand and agree that only the PSAC chair and Chair of the Board of Regents will serve as spokespersons for the search; and Maintain strict confidentiality throughout the process, respecting the privacy interests of candidates prior to the selection of finalists, as required by the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act.
The committee will be assisted by Storbeck/Pimentel & Associates in executing its charge.
The PSAC chair is charged with calling and presiding over all committee meetings, ensuring the orderly and timely conduct of business, and serving as the primary liaison to Storbeck/Pimentel & Associates and to the Board of Regents. In the rare circumstance that a member of the PSAC is unable to participate in candidate interviews and committee deliberations, the PSAC chair may remove the individual from the committee with approval of the Chair of the Board of Regents. This shall be immediately reported to the Board of Regents. Committee members who are removed by the PSAC chair will not be replaced.
The PSAC is an advisory committee to the Board of Regents, and does not hold any delegated authority to select the president. The selection of “finalists” and the ultimate decision as to who will serve as the University’s next president rests entirely with the Board of Regents. As such, meetings of the PSAC are not required to be open under the Minnesota Open Meeting Law. In all of its deliberations, the PSAC is charged to adhere to University policies and act in accordance with applicable state and federal laws and regulations.
After the PSAC has completed its work and recommended lead candidates to the Board of Regents, individual Regents who are not members of the PSAC may access all candidate names and application materials pursuant to a method directed by the Chair of the Board of Regents. Although not anticipated, the PSAC should be prepared to extend the search in the event that one or more lead candidates withdraw their names from consideration or the Chair of the Board of Regents directs the committee to deliver a broader pool of lead candidates. The Board is committed to selecting a president who has gone through the application process and been thoroughly vetted and recommended by the PSAC.
Core Leadership Criteria The 3-4 lead candidates the PSAC recommends to the Board of Regents should be:
a) Leaders of unquestioned integrity who have a deep commitment to public higher education, and who embrace the role of the University of Minnesota in serving the people of the state; b) Visionaries who understand and advocate for the University’s three-part land-grant mission, and who are able to lead the Board of Regents, University community, and statewide stakeholders in crafting a compelling systemwide strategy to guide implementation at the campus and collegiate level; c) Collaborators who are committed to student and faculty success and unfettered inquiry in the classroom and in research, and who are driven to build upon the academic and research excellence that makes the University of Minnesota the state’s leading higher education institution and has distinguished it as one of the nation’s preeminent public universities; d) Action-oriented innovators who have executive leadership experience, a track record of leading transformative change, a strong commitment to enhancing revenues and driving

Page 92 of 99 efficiency, and the ability to shape budgets to position the University of Minnesota for long- term excellence and fiscal sustainability; e) Systems-thinkers who can observe, understand, and maximize the impact of the University of Minnesota’s tremendous breadth across five campuses, a major academic medical enterprise, and two Division I athletics programs; f) Effective communicators who can build relationships, instill trust, and connect the University of Minnesota’s public mission and impact to elected leaders, alumni, donors, parents, students, and the people of the state, the region, and the world; g) Open and inclusive decision-makers who embrace varying backgrounds and views, value equity and diversity, demonstrate steadfast support for freedom of speech, and will work in consultation with members of the University community to develop common ground; and h) Able managers who can identify and develop leadership talent, build teams, and inspire commitment to the University’s mission.
