PaulaCunningham President LansingCommunity College 505N. Capitol Avenue Lansing,MI 48933
Dear PresidentCunningham,
I am writing this letter to request that my legal bills for the allegations against me from September2003 be reimbursed in the amount of $2,736.34 by the college. The College'1 bylaws authorize the College to indemnify board membersprovided the Board member must have acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonablybelieved to be in the best interests of the College, and with respectto criminal action or proceeding, the Board member must have had no reasonablecause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Bylaw 1.9.1
As you recall, the allegations did not surface until former trustee Todd Heywood presented them at a board meeting in August 2003, two months after I was elected to the board and six months after I left Lansing Community College as an employee. It is my supposition that this information was supplied to former trustee Heywood in an effort to force me to resign as a trustee, even though I was discharging my duties in good faith. In addition, it was noted by both attorneys that representedme that the packet that was given to former trustee Heywood contained confidential documents that he received outside of a FOIA request which included my personal information, including my social security number. ;,
The attorney bills from Gallagher-Duby totaled $1,905.00 as they representedmy interests until December2003. I retained Mr. Hugh Clarke in December 2003 once the allegatiofs had been turned over for criminal investigation. Mr. Clarke's chargestotaled $831.34. I Trustee Rasmussoncontinued to push for my resignation and criminal prosecution even after the College's attorney found no legal basis for this, and as I continued to perform my duties in good faith and with the best interest of the college in mind.
Over eighteenmonths have passed with no criminal chargesbeing presented for prosecution, thereforeI requestthat my legal feesbe reimbursed.Thank you for your prompt attentionto this request.
Sincerely, {:;~~~, Ph.D,

Re: Trustee Brannan's Request for Indemnification of Attorney Fees
Dear ChairpersonLaverty:
Lansing Community College has received a request from Trustee Tim Brannan for reimbursement ofattomey fees in the amount of$2, 736.34. In support of his request, Trustee Brannan has submitted invoices for legal services rendered from approximately September29, 2003 through January26, 2004. From the brief descriptions in the itemized invoices, all of the servicesrelate to certain allegations that surfaced last fall relating to Trustee Brannan's employment with LCC, before his election to the Board. In this regard, we are aware that LCC and Trustee Brannan signed a comprehensive mutual. release at the time he ceasedhis employment with the College.
In responding to Trustee Brannan's request, it is important to recall that the Community College Act prohibits a community college from paying compensationto board members. This restriction has beenincorporated into the Bylaws ofLCC's Board of Trustees. See Bylaw 1.9.1. Further, in various written opinions, Michigan's Attorney General has ruled that tuition waivers, life insuranceand other such benefits are forms of compensation that are therefore prohibited. While trustees are entitled to reimbursement for expenses,the expensesmust be directly related to the trustee's service as a trustee. Otherwise, the reimbursement is a form of compensation.
In the present case, without more information from Trustee Brannan, we are unable to determine whether his request for reimbursement is an expensethe College can lawfully pay. The College's bylaws authorize the College to indemnify board members MILLER, CANFIELD, PADDOCK ANDSTONE, P.L.C.
Mr. Chris Laverty, Chairperson -2- May 7, 2004
in two circumstances, l)for expensesincurred from the trustee's "good faith performance of duties on behalf or at the direction of the College," and 2)"in all casesin which the action, claim or proceeding is covere~ in whole or in part bya policy of insurance." Bylaw 1.9.1A. Importantly, the Bylaw further states that the claim for indemnification shall not be paid without the Board's "determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstanceand the Board member has met the applicable standardsof conduct set forth herein." Bylaw 1.9.1E. . In light of the foregoing, the College should first ascertain if the claim against Trustee Brannan "is covered in whole or in part by a policy of insurance." Ifit is, then no further review is necessary. If it is not, then Trustee Brannan should substantiatein writing the basis for his belief that the legal expensesare covered under Bylaw 1.9.1, that is, that they are related to his" good faith performance of duties on behalf or at the direction of the College."
We hope this letter is responsive to the issue you have presented. If not or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Very truly yours,

Re: Trustee Brannan's Second Request For Indemnification Of Fees
Dear PresidentCunningham: We have reviewed Trustee Brannan's March 2,2005 letter to you seeking reimbursement of attorney fees in the amount of $2,736.34. As you may recall, Trustee Brannan presented a similar request to Chairperson Laverty in May of 2004 that we also reviewed. At that time, in our May 7, 2004 letter, we concluded that without additional information from Trustee Brannan, we were unable to determine whether his request for reimbursementwas a permissible expense. In his letter, Trustee Brannan properly points out that his current request is governed by Bylaw l.9.lA, which states: A. Except as prohibited by law, the College will indemnify Board members against whom an action, claim, or proceeding is .bro.ught or threatened as a result of a Board member's good faith performance of duties on behalf or at the direction of the College, and in all cases in which the action. claim or oroceedin2 is covered in whole or in part by a policy of insurance. This Bylaw permits indemnification where insurance is available to cover the claim or if the claim arises from the trustee's service as a trustee. We are unable to state that the claim is covered by the College's insurer as to our knowledge, the insurer has not rendered a decision on coverage. If it is not, then the Board must specifically determine whether Trustee Brannan's claim relates to his "good faith performance of duties on behalf or at the direction of the College." In any event, of course, the Bylaw is subject to the Community College Act, which prohibits community colleges from paying compensationto board members. In this respect, Michigan's Attorney General has ruled that tuition waivers, life insurance and other such benefits are forms of compensation. Thus, while trusteesare entitled to reimbursement for MILLER, CANFIELD, PADDOCK ANDSTONE, P.L.C.
PresidentPaula Cunningham -2- March 24, 2005 expenses,those expensesmust directly relate to the trustee'sservice as a trustee. It is reasonable to conclude that Bylaw 1.9.1 imposes the same precondition. From the information provided to us to date and with one exception as noted below, we are not able to conclude that the conduct giving rise to Trustee Brannan's claim for indemnification occurred while he was a Board member. In this regard, shortly after the documents with the allegations concerning Trustee Brannan were distributed, this Firm reviewed the material to determine whether further action under Bylaw 1.7.9 was merited. We concluded that no further action was merited becausethe allegations did not concern conduct that occurred while Trustee Brannan was a trustee. In the absenceof additional information, that conclusion also applies to the current question. Our conclusion does not foreclose Trustee Brannan from presenting additional information responsive to the issue. Indeed, in one respect, he has provided information from which the Board could reasonably determine that indemnification is appropriate. We are aware that some of the distributed material should not have been publicly disclosed, including Trustee Brannan's social security number. Our file contains a copy of a letter from Trustee Brannan's attorney dated November 10,2003 that is responsiveto that issue. As the unauthorized and improper disclosure occurred while Trustee Brannan was serving as a member of the Board of Trustees, the Board could properly indemnify him for the legal fees he incurred in responding to the disclosure. Incidentally, we note that Trustee Brannan's March 2, 2005 request is addressedto President Cunningham. While it is appropriate to forward a claim for indemnification to the College's President for presentationto the Board, under Bylaw 1.9.1 D, the decision rests with the Board, which must determine "that indemnification is proper in the circumstance and the Board member has met the applicable standardsof conduct set forth [in Bylaw 1.9.1]." It would be a conflict of interest for a college president to consider a trustee's request for indemnification when the president reports to the board. We hope this letter is responsive to the questionpresented. If not or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Very truly yours,

LANSING COMMUNITY COLLEGE FY 2005 Revised Budget
College financial staff have reviewed revenues and expenditures for the current fiscal year. The Governor’s Executive Order 2005-07 reduced community college funding across the board by roughly 1.75%, resulting in a $502,400 reduction for the College. Based on current projections, it appears that the College will end the fiscal year using approximately this amount from fund balance. The attached projection shows the use of $498,742 in fund balance to balance the current year’s budget.
Projected Revenues
In addition to State revenues, the College receives revenue from property taxes, tuition and fees, and a small percentage of its budget from other miscellaneous sources.
Property Taxes – Final information on taxable value of property within the College’s district is not compiled until June of each year, after the College’s budget is approved. Taxable value of $9.5 billion in June 2004 represented a 5.9% increase over the prior year. With the College’s millage rate rolled back to 3.8375 (due to Headlee rollback), projected property tax revenue for the year is $35,850,961.
Tuition and Fees – It is projected that tuition and fee revenue will fall short of the adopted figure of $30.6 million. Last year’s actual tuition and fee revenue came to $26.8 million, short of last year’s projection, as well. The revised budget of $29,052,689 includes additional revenue resulting from the first year of contact hour pricing, and a modest enrollment increase.
Other Revenue – This revenue category includes the sale of educational training and consulting contracts carried out through the Business & Community Institute, the College’s contracts with several Intermediate School Districts (ISD’s), investment income, and miscellaneous revenue. Last year’s actuals in this category totaled just under $2.9 million. Interest income made up $527,000 of this total. In 2001, investment income for the College totaled more than $1.9 million, when interest rates on some time certificates exceeded 7%.
Projected Expenditures
Salaries and wages – Salaries and wages are up slightly from the adopted budget. Increased salary and wage costs result from increased instructional costs for programs experiencing enrollment growth, as well as significant increases in overtime costs in Police and Public Safety after the homicide in January.
1 Benefit costs are projected to be below the current year adopted figure. Last year was the first year using Oracle finance, and during budget development, staff were still learning the nuances of the new system’s method of accounting for benefits. Since the State’s financial horizon was also unclear, we determined it was best to err on the conservative side. Given revenue shortfalls in several categories, this overestimation of benefits leaves us in a better position than if benefit costs had been budgeted more precisely.
Overhead, Supplies and Services – When there are open purchase orders at the end of one fiscal year, the encumbrance for the item not yet received, and the budget for the item, are carried forward to cover the cost of the good or service. Therefore, the anticipated expenditures are more than the original budgeted figure of approximately $18 million. At the same time, the College has worked to curtail year- end expenditures for the current year, through limiting travel, reducing the number of procurement cards available to departments for small dollar purchases, and requiring Executive Leadership Team review of full-time and non-teaching, part-time vacant positions prior to posting.
Transfers and Capital Budgets
Changes are reflected in two areas:
Debt Service – The College’s refinancing of 2002 bonds resulted in slight savings in debt service payments in the current year. Over the life of the bonds, savings to the College will be $576,000.
Technology Infrastructure –The Board of Trustees first established a fund balance reserve for technology in 1994, during early discussions regarding constructing a new Technology and Learning Center. This reserve has been increased and accessed over the past 11 years, as new projects have required additional investments in technology. Last year, the Board approved the use of $2 million of a then $3 million reserve to be used toward infrastructure and equipment at the West Campus. The College now maintains approximately 2,000 computers for students, and an additional 1,500 for faculty and staff. The Technology Migration Fund is also used to purchase switchgear for new buildings, copiers, telephones and printers, and network support equipment. It is recommended that the final $1,000,000 from the technology fund balance reserve be transferred to the Technology Migration Fund for initial purchase of new building equipment.
Based on projected revenues and expenditures, the revised budget projects a deficit of approximately $499,000. This use of fund balance will need to be reversed in future years, as unallocated fund balance is below recommended levels of one- twelfth of general fund revenues.

LANSING COMMUNITY COLLEGE FY 2006 Proposed Budget
Introduction
Lansing Community College began its planning for fiscal year 2006 in early Fall 2005. It was clear that FY 2006 would be a challenging one, with further spending cuts from the State of Michigan looming, and the likelihood of sharp increases in fixed costs for retirement, health care and energy. In addition, the College’s unallocated fund balance of just above $7 million, remains below the recommended minimum level of one-twelfth (Board adopted Executive Limitation Policy, EL-202) of general fund revenues. Based on FY 2006 projected revenues, an additional $1.4 million in fund balance would achieve the one- twelfth goal.
At the start of the College’s financial planning, we projected approximately a $4.8 million deficit between projected revenues and expenditures. This $4.8 million deficit was based on the following assumptions:
• The College’s current programs and services would remain funded at current levels.
• The State of Michigan would reduce current year appropriations to the College by $502,400, and that reduction would be carried forward into FY 2006.
• Tuition rates would remain at current levels.
• Although still near the bottom in terms of square feet per student when compared to Michigan’s other community colleges, the College will maintain more than 1.5 million square feet of space in FY 2006, more space than at any time in its history. By FY 2007, some buildings will be sold or demolished, resulting in energy and operating savings.
• New classrooms coming online as a result of the College’s facilities master plan, and the recent consolidation of classrooms at a new East Lansing site, mean added pressure on technology budgets. Eight new computer classrooms are planned for the programs moving into renovated space in the Gannon building.
Through a thorough review of all services and programs, College staff identified more than $2 million in reductions in areas ranging from reduced custodial services on weekends to capping section growth in high cost instructional areas (see Attachment A). Through attrition and reassignment, the proposed budget includes six fewer full-time administrative positions, and three fewer full-time
1 support staff positions. In cases where an eliminated position is occupied, every effort is being made to reassign the individual to an open position within the College. In addition to these reductions, several additional full-time faculty positions in high demand areas are proposed as part of the FY 2006 budget. They are:
Dental Hygiene Massage Therapy Nursing
Projected Revenues
Attachment B presents the projected budget for FY 2006. The far right column shows the percentage of total that each revenue and expenditure line item represents.
State Appropriations— The Governor’s Executive Order 2005-07 reduced community college funding across the board by roughly 1.75%. This resulted in a $502,400 reduction for the College. This reduction is carried forward in the Governor’s 2006 recommendation.
Property Taxes— In June 2004, the taxable value of property within the College’s district was approximately $9.5 billion. Based on anticipated growth in taxable value and past collection rates, we project an increase in property tax revenues of 6.5% from FY 2005 adopted levels, or an additional $2.3 million.
Tuition and Fees— Based on the projected gap between revenues and expenditures, and the significant budget reductions made to close the gap, it is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve tuition increases as follows:
LCC Proposed Proposed % Current Rates Change 2005-06 Change In-District $55.00 $7.00 $62.00 12.7% Out-of-District $88.00 $15.00 $103.00 17.0% Out-of-State and International $120.00 $22.00 $142.00 18.3%
Lansing Community College’s tuition rates have been below the state average for all residency categories for many years (see Attachment C). The College’s annualized fees (the fees that all full-time students pay over the course of two semesters) are also substantially below the average at other Michigan community colleges. While it is too early to know what the final state tuition averages will be next year, if the increases being proposed by the colleges already reporting are an indicator, LCC will remain below the State average for in-district and out-of-district rates. These two residency categories represent more than 96% of our student body.

LCC Proposed Current Projected Current Rates 2005-06 State Ave. State Ave. In-District $55.00 $62.00 $61.58 $65.22 Out-of-District $88.00 $103.00 $95.86 $105.76 Out-of-State $120.00 $142.00 $125.59 $145.34 Annualized Fees $50.00 $50.00 $186.49 ???
This proposal would generate approximately $3.9 million if enrollment remained flat. However, for budget purposes, a 3% decline in enrollments is projected, so the additional tuition revenue included in the projected budget is approximately $3.7 million.
Non-sufficient Funds (NSF) Fee--For many years, the College’s charge for processing a dishonored check or credit card has been $15. Based on five years of history, College staff applies this fee between 180 and 275 times per year. An internal review indicates that it costs the College between $18 and $39 per check based on bank charges and estimated staff time to process a bad check.
We surveyed other Michigan community colleges. While some smaller schools do not charge for bad checks, we received responses from 18 other schools that do charge a fee. The most frequent charge for NSF checks is $25.
Community Colleges charging $25 10 Community Colleges charging $20 4 Community Colleges charging $15 4 (including LCC) Community Colleges charging $10 1
It is recommended that the College’s charge for dishonored check or credit card payments be raised from $15 to $25.
Graduation Fee—The College charges $15 for students participating in commencement to offset the cost of caps and gowns. Last year, approximately 400 students participated in commencement, providing about $6,000 for a commencement ceremony that is projected to cost $48,000 in FY 2006 (this cost includes facility rental, caps and gowns, programs, diploma covers, honor cords, etc.)
It is proposed that the commencement fee be revised to a graduation fee, a fee that all graduating students would pay for processing their applications for graduation (review of transcripts, sending out diplomas to those who do not participate in commencement, etc.) It is proposed that a fee of $25 replace the $15 fee now charged to those students who
3 participate in commencement. With about 1,100 degrees granted each year, this fee would raise $27,500 annually.
Course Fees—Additional course fee revenue already approved by the Board of Trustees has been included in the tuition and fee revenue, along with a revenue projection of additional course fees presented in Attachment D. Course fee changes presented in Attachment D would not be in effect until Spring 2006 semester. Course fees approved earlier this Spring, and the proposed course fees presented here, represent a net increase in course fees of approximately 9.3%. Current year course fee revenue is projected to be just above $3 million. The College’s review of course fees emphasized higher cost programs in technology, transportation and health care programs.
Other Revenue— This revenue category includes the sale of educational training and consulting contracts carried out through the Business & Community Institute, the College’s contracts with several Intermediate School Districts (ISD’s), investment income, and miscellaneous revenue. The College’s investment income has declined markedly in recent years as interest rates remain very low. This revenue category is conservatively budgeted at $3 million. One or more large contracts to provide technology consultation to other organizations that purchase Oracle products would improve this revenue picture.
Projected Expenditures
Salaries and Wages— A minimal increase in salaries and wages is projected. This budget reflects a net decrease of six full-time administrative positions and four full-time support positions. There are also three additional full-time faculty positions budgeted here. The Department of Police and Public Safety has reorganized to add full-time police officers and reduce part-time police officer positions. A net increase of four full-time police officers positions have been added since the beginning of FY 2005.
Benefit Costs— Benefit costs are projected to increase by 16.7% over the current year’s revised budget. This is due to an increase in the percentage the College must pay to the Michigan Public School Employees Retirement System (MPSERS) on all wages and salaries (except salaries of full-time faculty and administrators in the College’s Optional Retirement Program). Effective October 2005, the percentage will change from 14.87 to 16.34, or an additional 1.47% on applicable salaries and wages. Each 1% increase equates to roughly $440,000 in the proposed budget. This line item also funds the College’s health care costs, worker’s compensation, unemployment costs, and employee tuition waivers. The College’s Health Care Task force will be reviewing proposals from insurance carrier providers in late May.
Overhead, Supplies and Services— College divisions reduced supplies and services dramatically, in areas such as professional development, professional fees, repairs and maintenance contracts, and printing. However, the increase of
4 8.9% reflects the first full-year of operation of the West Campus, and first year operation of the new Health and Administration buildings. Moving costs for the Health Building are reflected here, as well as increased fuel costs in instructional programs and College support areas.
Transfers and Capital Budgets
Scholarships—The College has traditionally provided general fund dollars for students seeking financial assistance for child care costs. It is proposed that this amount be increased by 2.5%. The general institutional scholarships budget funds departmental and Board of Trustee scholarships, honors and athletic scholarships, and funds the Michigan Indian Tuition Waiver program. With the recommended increase in tuition rates, it is proposed that this budget be increased by 15% or almost $182,000.
Major equipment— It is proposed that $1,000,000 be budgeted for major equipment. Divisions submitted more than $2.7 million in equipment needs with their budget requests. A committee of faculty, staff and a student representative will prioritize and make final recommendations to stay within the budgeted amount of $1,000,000.
Debt Service— The College recently sold an additional $4,000,000 in bonds and refinanced a portion of bonds sold in 2002. The College’s excellent bond ratings were reconfirmed in this recent bond sale. As of June 2005, the College’s net direct debt will be $63,140,000 (see Attachment E). Bonds were issued to pay for the portion of the College’s $89 million facilities master plan construction which cannot be funded through College reserves, grants, or the Capital Campaign. Based on the legal debt limits outlined in the Community College Act, the College has additional debt capacity of $56.9 million (above the $63,140,000). As shown in Attachment E, all bonds will be fully paid off in the year 2022.
Plant Improvement— In 2000, the College identified more than $30 million in major infrastructure projects to maintain and improve its facilities. This was and is not for new buildings, but to sustain physical plant assets. Beginning in 2001-02, the Board of Trustees approved a long-term plan to transfer $3 million each year from the general fund to the plant fund to address large scale deferred maintenance projects and campus improvements. Initial funding for campus beautification, both downtown and at the West Campus, are proposed as part of the proposed Maintenance and Renovation Budget (see Attachment F).
Technology Infrastructure—The College currently supports more than 3,000 computers, and will add an additional 9 computer rooms in GVT and at the new East Lansing Center. A recommended transfer from the general fund of $3,000,000 for technology infrastructure supports an ongoing program to replace servers, computers, telephones and networking equipment.
5
Restoring Fund Balance
The College’s unallocated fund balance represented 7.6% of FY 2005 general fund revenues. With projected revenues of $101 million next year, the percentage will drop to under 7% unless we begin to reverse the trend of declining fund balances. A five year history of fund balances is shown in Attachment G. A $500,000 contribution to fund balance is proposed in this budget. If our FY 2005 year-end projections are accurate, this $500,000 will simply restore the money lost this year due to the Governor’s Executive Order.
6 ATTACHMENT A
College staff identified more than $2 million in budget reductions as part of the FY 2006 planning and budget process. These reductions include:
Proposed Reduction
Through attrition and reassignment, eliminate six full-time administrative positions.
Reduce allocations for professional development and training, mileage, internal and external meeting expenses.
Reduce hours of operation in the Sykes Technology and Learning Center Open Computer Lab by four hours each day. The lab will close from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. each day. Between staff savings in the lab, and cutting back on utilities during these hours, we project savings of slightly more than $50,000.
Run one Police Academy instead of two in FY 2006. Tighter training and new officer budgets in the region have temporarily reduced demand for academy graduates.
Eliminate volleyball and golf, two sports with a combined squad size of 18. (Promised scholarships for Fall 2005 would be honored)
Eliminate Summer 2005 Dance Performance, and reduce other performing arts productions to be determined.
Through attrition and reassignment, eliminate a net total of three full-time support staff positions.
Reduce cleaning service to student and classroom areas on weekends, and reduce office cleaning from 3 to 2 times per week.
Reduce the use of contracted plumbing services.
Install hand dryers in restrooms to eliminate paper products, and discontinue distributing space heaters to offices on campus.
Eliminate one Career Focus publication.
Reduce outside legal services budget due to in-house counsel.
Various savings will be realized in instructional area by improved section management. Sections will be capped in some high cost programs.

RE: Non-binding letter of intent
Dear Mr. Howard:
It is my understanding that Lansing Community College is consiQering a University Center which would provide additional educational opportunities for students in Lansing and its surrounding region, The Center would allow institutions to deliver their 4-year degree programs at LCC.
Central Michigan University and Lansing Community College have a positive aruj long~standing relationship and CMU strongly suppor1s I,.CC's effort to develop a University Center. CMU is very interested in being a prominent partner in this venture and requests to be included in the discussions and planning processes, including programs and degrees it would offer at this Center.
This enterprise has the potential to provide the State of Michigan with a valuaple resource, an increase in the number of university gradl,iates. This is an excellent opportunity for Lansing-area students to gain access tQ academic programs not currently available to them.

z Financial Aid
Cost is an important factor for students who are deciding whether and where to pursue postsecondary education or training. Tuition is one important component of the cost of education, with fees playing an important role in many areas of career and workforce training. The availability of financial assistance paves the way for students, who otherwise might not be able to afford higher education.

Data reported by The Chronicle of Higher Education show that LCC’s tuition is the most affordable among the postsecondary institutions most often chosen by students in the Tri-county area. The schools included in the above chart are the top five choices among members of the Tri-county High School Class of 2004 who took the American College Test (ACT). This chart shows that LCC’s 2004-05 annual tuition continues to be the least expensive among its competitors, with an annual full-time cost of $1705 compared with $1,675 a year ago (a 1.8% increase). Other LCC competitors in the Tri-county area include Baker College and Davenport University, where the annual costs of tuition and fees currently stand at $7,425 and $10,570 respectively.

Total tuition cost, as shown in the chart above, is based on a full-time resident student taking 30 hours of credit during an academic year, including mandatory fees. (Specific fees for labs, etc., are not included.) For the 2004- 05 academic year, LCC continues to be second lowest among nearby community colleges in the combined cost of tuition and fees. Across community colleges in Michigan, a broad range of mandatory fees are charged to students, including admission, registration, student activity, technology and facility charges.

The per-hour in-district tuition rate for the 2004-05 academic year, plus mandatory fixed fees, is lower for Lansing Community College students than the average for all 28 community colleges in the state, and is also lower than the average for the 11 Michigan community colleges of a similar size. Annualized standard fixed fees at LCC are significantly lower than the average for other community colleges, independent of school size. Only three community colleges—Kalamazoo Valley ($0), Macomb ($40), and Muskegon ($45)—have mandatory fees that are lower than LCC’s. Four community colleges have a lower tuition rate than LCC – Kalamazoo Valley ($52.15), Monroe ($54.00), Oakland ($53.70), and Wayne County ($54.00).

During 2003-04, we saw our Total Aid rise by 10.0% over the previous year to $27.4 million. At this same time, the number of applications also increased by 10.8% to 13,627, as did the number of disbursements at 8,264 (6.9%). We were able to offer aid to only 79.2% of the applicants, a significant decrease from 90.8% in 2002-03. This drop corresponds to a greater number of aid applicants in 2003-04 that were new students with “low” or “no need” and therefore were not extended an aid offer. Award criteria depend upon the type of award, and are established by federal, state, college, or donor guidelines.

The Women’s Resource Center provides varied services to encourage and assist women who traditionally might not seek higher education. One service they provide is financial assistance in the form of child care awards. In 2003-04, the total amount of child care aid that was disbursed was significantly lower (34.1%) than 2002-03. As a result, the number of award disbursed decreased by 26.5%, and the average award amount decreased by 10%.

Of those students who reported that financial aid was important in their decision to attend LCC, 71% said they were satisfied that financial aid was adequate. There has continued to be an increase in satisfaction rate since 1999, when satisfaction rate was only 60%. This corresponds with a significantly decreased dissatisfaction rate, where 21% were dissatisfied in 2002, only 12% indicated they were dissatisfied in 2005.

Nearly all LCC graduates (89%) agree that costs at LCC are reasonable, however this is a significant decline from 97% reported in 2003, and is the lowest it has been. Eleven percent of students indicated disagreement with costs being reasonable, compared to only 3% who felt that way in 2003. The rise in students level of disagreement may be in part due to the increased cost to students associated with using contact hours as a factor in calculating billable hours, which began in Fall 2004. However, LCC tuition remains one of the lowest in the state for community colleges, with only 4 of 27 other schools boasting a lower rate.

Cost Summary
Lansing Community College continues to be an excellent value for those it serves. Cost of education at the College is low and highly competitive. Price increases, particularly in the area of fees, are continually being studied to achieve the optimum value and price balance. Financial aid will continue to be designated as a strategic Area of Priority Need at the College.

LCC’s courses are offered at a variety of times to accommodate various schedules. Between Fall 2000 and Spring 2003, LCC more than doubled the number of classes that were offered at “arranged” times. These are classes which meet at various times and places based on what is best for the students in the class. It also includes Virtual College classes, which have significantly increased in offerings over the past few years. The number of “arranged” sections has nearly reached the number of traditional “morning” sections. This reflects the increased emphasis that LCC has placed on making classes available to a variety of students with varying schedules.

Enrollments track very closely to the number of sections offered. Spring enrollments tend to be lower than fall enrollments. Enrollments in arranged classes grew rapidly from fall 2000 through spring 2003, and has continued to show a moderate increase to present. This partially reflects the growth of Virtual College, which has continued to increase in popularity, with enrollments up 20% in 2003-04 compared with the previous year.

Students responding to the Spring 2005 ACT Student Opinion Survey indicate lower satisfaction (57%) with “classes are held at convenient times” as those responding the previous year (63%). The seven year average is 62%, but there does not appear to be any trend at this time.
This drop may be in part due to the fact that with a continuing lowered economy, there may be a change in the student body that causes a change in opinion.

Off-campus enrollment appears to have increased significantly, but really is due to a shift of students to the West Campus, which is now considered off- campus. This shift began with Fall 2004, and saw even more students moved to the West Campus in Spring 2005 as additional program areas made the move to the new campus. Overall, LCC enrollment as a whole has shown a consistently increasing trend over the years. In Fall 2001, headcount less than 18,000 students compared to over 19,300 in Fall 2004.

Credits reflect the same growth trend as enrollments, with steady growth in the Virtual College being most prominent. On the other hand, students taking courses on the College’s downtown Lansing campus are taking more credits per individual than was true a few years ago, adding to the College’s steady expansion of credits taken each term. As in the previous pages, the apparent decrease in total credit hours on main campus is due to the fact that West Campus is now included in the Off- campus category.

Again, the increase in Off-campus enrollment is due to West-campus hours being counted in the Off-campus category. Customer Site and International remain a very small portion of overall credits. Although total credits at LCC decreased from 345,383 in 2002-03 to 325,178 in 2003-04, there still appears to be an increasing trend in total credits as 2003-04 is an increase of over 8% from the 2001-02 year.

The LCC Virtual College is one of the fastest growing online learning programs in the state, and is one of 29 higher education institutions in the nation which provide courses for the U.S. Army. The Army contract is financially advantageous to LCC, helping to serve local students by absorbing overhead and generating additional revenue. The number of enrollments through the Virtual College appears to be stabilizing after very significant increases in enrollment from 2001 to 2004.

Since 1998, satisfaction with parking issues has increased, rising from 29% in 1998 to 36% in 2004. This is likely related to several factors, including increasing Virtual College enrollment and hybrid sections where the need for parking downtown is reduced, along with the movement of a number of program areas and approximately 3,000 students to the West Campus in Fall 04 and Spring 05. This has eased the parking space situation somewhat for our students at both the main and west campus locations.

The campus experienced its first homicide in the weeks prior to this survey being administered to students and surely had an impact on their opinions of safety and security on the campus. The college has implemented additional security measures, including increased staffing in the Public Safety Department, as well as 80 additional security cameras across the campus facilities.

Every year, thousands of Tri-county high school students take the ACT test as part of the process of qualifying for scholarships and admission into Michigan colleges and universities. In addition to tests of academic achievement in four major disciplines, the ACT includes survey questions about students’ educational goals. One of the survey questions on the ACT asks the students to choose up to six institutions of higher learning that they are considering for their postsecondary education. Among the 70% of Tri- county area students who take the ACT, nearly one in four select LCC as one of the schools they would choose to attend. As to the six top schools of choice, LCC came in 2nd only to MSU as to being the 1st school of choice, with 40% of students indicating LCC as their 1st school of choice compared to MSU with 46% indicating MSU as their school of choice. The other four schools shown have 1st choice percentages of 16% up to 32% indicators as 1st school of choice.

Thirty-eight percent of the tri-county (Ingham, Eaton, and Clinton) 2004 high school graduating seniors have attended LCC. This is a decrease compared to previous years, and is the lowest percentage reported since 1996. Over half (54%) of the tri-county (Ingham, Eaton, and Clinton) 2004 high school graduating seniors took the ACT while in high school. This decrease in the percentage of college-bound seniors is likely a contributing factor to the decrease in the percentage of tri-county high school graduates who have attended LCC. Changes in the economy can also affect college enrollments.

The Tri-county Native American population has the highest proportion of its adult residents attending LCC, followed by the African American and Asian populations. A concerted effort to attract Native American students to the College has led to a dramatic increase in that population on campus. The College has the highest Native American contingency of any community college in the state, with 10% of Michigan's Native American community college students attending LCC. Since 1999, the number of Native American students attending LCC has increased 55%, while the 18 to 44 year old Native American population in the Tri-county region has been relatively stable (according to population estimates from the US Department of Commerce). The utilization by this population appears to have leveled off at about 18%.

LCC encourages access by employing a workforce that reflects the diversity of the world for which it is preparing its students. This table shows that in the 2004-05 academic year, nearly one-fifth (18%) of our full-time staff positions were held by minorities (up by 2% over 2003-04). Minorities made up 16% of the faculty (same as 2003-04), and 21% of the administrators (up from 17% last year). This year, the College has 9 fewer full-time employees than it had last year. Compared with the 2003-04 academic year, there are 4 fewer administrators, 5 more full-time faculty, and 10 fewer support staff. Overall, there are 16 fewer Caucasians, 4 additional African Americans, 3 additional Asian Americans, Native American remained the same at 9, as did Hispanics at 31, employed full-time at the College compared with a year ago.

LIMITED PUBLIC COMMENT REGARDING AGENDA ITEMS
Steven Bennett – Good evening my name is Steven Bennett I am the president of the Lansing Community College part-time clerical technical union. Tonight I represent the 200 or so employees on this campus that have been working without a contract for 263 days now. The (inaudible) from the public relations committee, headed by our own (inaudible) are here in the audience tonight. The committee has been charged with creating a campaign to educate its membership, our colleagues, the College leadership and the community about the various inequities that we face in our latest contracts. The LCC PTCTU campaign was launched last Wednesday and the brochure you have before you is a product of that campaign. The information in this brochure is nothing new but the PTCTU wants to be sure that its opinion about the facts is clearly heard by the appropriate decision makers. My comments are brief tonight but my message remains steadfast. We are committed to reaching a contract as soon as possible. But more importantly we are committed to reaching an agreement that will for once recognize the very significant impact that these employees have on this campus. I remain convinced that your commitment to this institution includes your commitment to the employees. I look favorably in the future that we will be able to come to a consensus for the betterment of all. Thank you for your time.
Lynn Savage – Good evening. My name is Lynn Savage and I am here to address you as chair of the LCC Labor Coalition on the subject of the budget for the coming year. It is apparent that there is great demand for funding, yet a limited supply of money for the remainder of this year and next. Simply put, priorities will need to be set. We know that your priority list includes quality
1 programs and services and state of the art facilities and technology. As you consider and deliberate priorities for the remainder of this year and next, you must include in that list, at the highest priority, the human capital needs of this institution. The Board has focused intensively in recent years on the improvement of our physical facilities and our technology infrastructure, both of which were badly needed. We have also made some progress in employee compensation. More progress is needed, badly needed, to maintain and improve our programs and services for the community and to stay competitive with other education providers. At some point, resources for human capital must be found. While we must maintain our commitment to the infrastructure, it cannot be at the expense of our human capital. Individual programs and overall LCC quality depends on our ability to attract and keep the best faculty and staff in each area. This will enable us to continue to deliver the superior educational opportunities our students and the community expect. Without quality programs and services which depend on quality faculty and staff, there will be no need for great facilities or the finest technology. We doubt that anyone in this room wants to increase tuition substantially. However it may be the only way to address all four areas of priority need: quality programs and services, state of the art facilities, superior technology, and the highest quality faculty and staff. Our students enjoy one of the best community colleges in the state at nearly the lowest cost; it may be a luxury we can no longer afford. The Labor Coalition strongly recommends that you consider a substantial increase in tuition for the coming budget year. We are not arriving at this decision lightly. We invite both you and the administration to meet with us to discuss our specific concerns. Thank you for your attention.
Sally Pierce – Good evening, I’m Sally Pierce, President of MAHE, the faculty association here at LCC, which proudly represents 1,260 faculty on campus. You’ve already heard Lynn Savage’s statement from the LCC Labor Coalition, which I have signed, and I know you can see that MEA is on the agenda to speak to you tonight about the budget. Cheryll Conklin, our Uniserve director will be speaking to you about the LCC budget analysis that MEA has done. So why am I here during public comment? I am here because I want to pledge publicly to you and the community that MAHE stands ready to work cooperatively with you and the College’s managers. If our shared goal is to increase the revenue streams of the College, we believe tuition must be studied. I told Paula today at lunch that MAHE would be willing to consider alternative calendar structures such as sixteen, sixteen, eight and eight – two traditional long semesters followed by two shorter terms that take place between winter and fall. Some Michigan community colleges have set their terms at fifteen, fifteen, seven and a half and seven and a half. She told me Glenn had already proposed such a system. I was glad to hear that. We must do something and probably several things to generate more income for the College. This week we are working to schedule the first session of our negotiations with management to discuss rules. We are ready to begin negotiations, but we do not believe the solution for this College’s financial woes is rollbacks for faculty. In order to remain competitive we need great healthcare and competitive salaries. Some time ago, Paula and I
2 set a goal for a contract by June. I stand here hopeful that she and I will be back in June asking you to endorse an agreement between MAHE and the LCC Board of Trustees. Thank you and I hope you’ll enjoy our budget presentation.
MAHE Budget Presentation
Cheryll Conklin – I am Cheryll Conklin and I am the Uniserve director for the Michigan Education Association and I represent the faculty, the part-time CTU, and the ESP and as you all know we are currently attempting to reach an agreement with the part-time CTU and we will be going into negotiations with MAHE and the ESP. I know you have implemented (inaudible). The Michigan Education Association performed an analysis of LCC’s financial situation and Sally and I met with Barbara Larson and Jan Stewart last week and luckily there are no surprises. We took our data to Barbara Larson who said it was just fine. I am not going to waste a lot of your time going through the actual figures.
Ms. Conklin gave a presentation to the Board. (A copy of the presentation is on file with the official Board materials.)
CHAIRPERSON AND BOARD MEMBER REPORTS
Information and Announcements
Trustee Rasmusson stated that the Board received an e-mail from the Association of Governing Boards and they have a packet available on assessment and compensation policy. He thought it might be something the College may want to check into.
President Cunningham stated that she would do so.
Chairperson Laverty attended the student art exhibit at the Lansing Art Gallery. The second floor featured all LCC student art pieces. He really enjoyed it and thought it was a great exhibit.
President Cunningham and Trustee Brannan reported that there is a new teacher preparation partnership between LCC and Central Michigan University. The articulation agreement will allow students who are in LCC’s teacher preparation program to do three years of teacher preparation courses at LCC’s campus and the fourth year they will transfer to Central Michigan University.
Chairperson Laverty informed the Board of many upcoming events that they may want to attend. The events are listed on the Board’s planning calendar.
Chairperson Laverty announced that Board Secretary Norma Mendez had her baby on Saturday, March 19th. Rich Howard announced that Norma, Sophia Emma and Andy, Norma’s husband, are all doing well.
3 PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Informational Items
College Spotlight – Teacher Education
Dr. Gary VanKempen introduced the College Spotlight. He stated that there is a need for teaching professionals. It is estimated that there will be 300 openings per year in this area. K-12 teaching professionals are now listed on the critical occupation list. Dr. VanKempen introduced Dr. Sophie Jeffries, coordinator of LCC’s teacher preparation program.
Dr. Jeffries stated that education is a national priority and quality teachers are key to a quality education. In Michigan there will be an ongoing need for teachers particularly in underrepresented populations: males, African-Americans, Hispanics. There is also a need in certain subject matter: mathematics, science, special education, early childhood language arts. LCC has an education program which is housed in the Social Science Department. Teacher preparation is an umbrella term for all of the activities, courses, programs and services in the College that serve teacher preparation. Dr. Jeffries introduced Dr. Geoff Quick, lead faculty in the Social Science Department and Dr. Quick presented a PowerPoint presentation (a copy of the presentation is on file with the official Board materials).
Dr. Quick introduced a couple students from LCC’s teacher preparation program. Ricardo Tiller, a current LCC teacher preparation student, stated that he was working towards becoming a social studies teacher at the secondary education level.
Chet Dawson, a former LCC student and currently a student teacher of high school physics. He stated that Dr. Quick provided him with great guidance and the LCC program prepared him well.
President Cunningham stated that the people at LCC have provided 27 years of quality delivery of education. It is because of people like Dr. Jeffries and Dr. Quick that LCC attracts and retains students. She thanked them.

Budget Update
Vice President Barbara Larson presented a FY 2005 budget update. The College faces a shortfall of $4.8 million for the FY 2006. They have asked College departments and divisions to identify reductions to help address the problem. (A copy of the budget update presentation is on file with the official Board materials.)
Same-Sex Domestic Partner Benefits
President Cunningham asked Tim Zeller to give the Board the legal status as he knows it.
Mr. Zeller stated that Attorney General Mike Cox issued his opinion on Proposal Two on March 16th that stated Proposal Two approval by the voters would in fact prohibit state and local government entities from providing benefits to their employees of the basis of domestic partnership agreements. The Attorney General has ruled that he feels it would be illegal for LCC to continue under the current contracts to provide health benefits to domestic partners. For employees covered by a contract it means that after June 30, 2005, LCC would no longer be
5 able to provide those benefits. There are pending court cases and he will keep the College advised of any changes.
President Cunningham asked about non-bargaining employees.
Mr. Zeller stated that non-bargaining employees are not covered by a contract so effectively at the end of the month the benefits would end.
Trustee Rasmusson asked how many employees this will effect.
Mr. Zeller stated that it is very few, less than five.
Trustee Rasmusson stated that federal constitution prohibits interfering with the rights of contract employees and the College may end up paying for the affected employees to obtain COBRA and that would cost the College more.
Learning Center – Cesar E. Chavez
President Cunningham stated that approximately two years ago the College talked about the Learning Center being a dedicated place for all students, not just Hispanic or Latino students, to have a place on campus where they can come and work with their peers, study, mentor, and tutor. The Learning Center named in memory of Cesar E. Chavez will be dedicated on March 31st at 4:15 p.m.
Trustee Pelleran stated that she is delighted that this is taking place. She offered kudos to all who worked on this.
Community College Futures Assembly
President Cunningham stated that LCC was one of ten finalists in the Bell Ringer award. It is awarded to community colleges who have illustrated bell ringer service in a few different areas. It is judged by a group of peers and colleagues throughout the country. She stated she was proud to state that LCC’s Lucero program was one of the ten finalists. President Cunningham introduced Raul Martinez and Dean Cardenas. They oversee the program.
The Lucero program was started years ago to attract and retain people of color by offering a place where they would feel welcome and obtain support they might need. Jean Morciglio chaired the original discussions. President Cunningham thanked them and congratulated them.
Raul Martinez stated that there are approximately 40 students involved after only one semester and it is growing.
6 Action Items
Approval of Minutes - February 21, 2005 Budget Workshop and February 21, 2005 Regular Board of Trustees Meeting minutes.
President Cunningham presented the February 21, 2005 Budget Workshop and Regular meeting minutes.
There were no changes from the Board.
Carolyn Kronenburg Resolution
President Cunningham stated that the College has commited to providing two scholarships to Carolyn Kronenburg’s grandchildren to LCC. When the Board adopts the action items it will approve of this action. She also stated there are still counseling and grieving services available for anyone on campus who may still be in need.
West Campus Property
Vice President Larson stated that an agreement has been reached with David Chapman, the owner of the land that was originally purchased in Delta Township for the West Campus. In February, Vice President Larson informed the Board that the sellers would donate four acres and LCC would be able to purchase the remaining three acres up to Mt. Hope for the sum of $200,000 payable over two fiscal years. The environmental study has been completed and there are no issues with the land.
Fee Consolidation
Vice President Larson stated that this would be the consolidation of the registration and activity fees. LCC has fewer and lower fees charged to all students than most community colleges. The College is recommending the consolidation of the activity fee which has been on a sliding scale depending on the number of credits, and the registration fee.
Finance – Approval of Bids
