ITEM Resolution Rescinding BR #11-02 and Approving the Modification of the Master of Science Program in Data Mining Only at Central Connecticut State University

BACKGROUND Board Resolution #11-02 approved the Modifications of the Master of Science and Graduate Certificate Programs. Since this approval, the university has provided an updated report and requested that the Master of Science in Data Mining program only be modified.

ANALYSIS The MS modification responds to the need to facilitate program completion by students who are currently employed and who may only have partial mastery of theoretical mathematics. The proposed modification to the MS program reduces the number of credits required from 36 to 33 and the number of core courses from nine to seven, eliminating or streamlining course prerequisites. At the same time, course credits in the applied areas of statistics are increased, expanding the courses and introducing cutting edge and emerging techniques.

Given University's prompt notice of this change, the current Board action limiting the modification to the Master of Science program has no timing or procedural implications in the approval process at the Board of Governors of Higher Education.

CHANCELLOR’S RECOMMENDATION Approve the resolution rescinding BR#11-02 and approving the modification to the Master of Science in Data Mining program only at Central Connecticut State University.

ITEM Licensure and Accreditation of a Master of Science in Applied Physics Degree Program at Southern Connecticut State University

BACKGROUND For over a decade, Southern Connecticut State University has progressively built up its human expertise and infrastructure capacity for Physics teaching and research, particularly in the areas of materials synthesis and characterization at the nanometer scale, and in optics and optical instrumentation. The proposed program incorporates these advancements into a Master of Science program that follows the Professional Science Masters (PSM) program model, combining education in science with practical focus, through management, marketing and entrepreneurship components.

ANALYSIS Nanotechnology, imaging science and optics fit within at least two of the four Connecticut core competencies that were identified in a 2005 study by the Battelle Technology Partnership Practice. Aerospace and advanced materials are the most likely impacted industries. While acknowledging Connecticut's capacity and infrastructure for advanced research, the report underscores the low rates of production of engineers and physical scientists limits the establishment of industries in these fields in the state. The proposed program develops bench-level scientists able to do applied industrial research and transform innovations into commercial applications. Graduates will also be prepared to pursue scientific degrees and do academic research in doctoral level programs.

The proposed program is housed at the Department of Physics working in partnership with Chemistry and Computer Science, and with the School of Business. Students become experts in one of the two focused areas of Materials Science/Nanotechnology or Optics/Optical Instrumentation. In addition, they develop necessary skills and the ability to do research and applications in industrial or academic settings. The curriculum consists of 36 credits, 18 of them required and including a Graduate Seminar, Theoretical Physics, Physical Chemistry, Digital Image Processing, Management Process, and Marketing. The Material Science/Nanotechnology track requires one Fundamentals and one Characterization course. The Optics/Optical Instrumentation track requires one Optics and Detector Physics and one Interferometric Measurement course. Two elective courses follow, from a set encompassing advance science, computing visualization, legal issues, project management and entrepreneurship courses. The final six credits are completed as a Master's thesis or a special project. The program also incorporates an industry internship.

Seven full-time faculty in the Physics Department, including one recent tenure-track hire in anticipation of the added for the program, will teach, coordinate the program and supervise student research. Physics courses, facilities and equipment are in place or are receiving appropriate internal and federal support for timely completion. Courses in other departments are existing courses and will be taught by regular faculty and in existing facilities.

CHANCELLOR’S RECOMMENDATION Approve the proposal from Southern Connecticut State University to offer a Master of Science in Applied Physics degree program.

ITEM Maintenance of a child care center at Central Connecticut State University

BACKGROUND In July of 1977, the Board of Trustees authorized the establishment of a child care program at CCSU (BR#77-77). The program was first established as a convenience to students and was provided in-house; however, the program was eventually outsourced to a licensed provider, and the users of the program have expanded to faculty, staff, and alumni of CCSU as well as New Britain residents.

The original authorization provided for a fixed fee per semester for users of the program, based on a full five-day week of service. This authorizing resolution was amended in December of 1977 (BR#77-121) to provide fees for less than a full five-day week of service and to permit full or partial refunds to parents of children who are withdrawn from the program. Both resolutions were rescinded in March of 1987 (BR#87-36), at which time CCSU was authorized to establish a non-instructional child care center, and a per-hour rate of $2.75 per child per hour was established for this service. The resolution did not provide for inflationary increases and has not been updated since passage.

ANALYSIS When the establishment of a child care program at CCSU was originally authorized in 1977, and when it was reaffirmed in 1987, it was clear that the primary intent was to benefit the students of CCSU. However, since its inception, clientele of the child care center has expanded beyond just CCSU students to include students, faculty, staff, and alumni of CCSU and residents of the City of New Britain. In order to maintain a clear benefit to CCSU students, it is recommended that fees charged to CCSU students for child care services at the University be provided at a lower rate than are charged to other users of these services.

CHANCELLOR’S RECOMMENDATION Rescind Board Resolution 87-36 and approve the authorization for CCSU to provide child care services primarily for the benefit of students enrolled at the University and others within CCSU and the immediate community, with the caveat that rates charged to CCSU students using the service shall be at a discount.

WHEREAS, On March 6, 1987, BOT Resolution #87-36 authorized Central Connecticut State University (CCSU) to establish a non-instructional child care program, primarily for the children of students enrolled at the University, and

WHEREAS, BOT Resolution #00-103 authorized CCSU to use operating funds to acquire 1285 East Street, New Britain, for the relocation of its child care program, provided by the Early Learning Center, Inc. (ELC), a not for profit childcare provider licensed in the State of Connecticut, and

WHEREAS, BOT Resolution #02-37 authorized CCSU to use operating funds to effect renovations to 1285 East Street in order to meet child care codes, rules, and regulations, and

WHEREAS, ELC has heretofore been providing service to CCSU’s students, faculty, staff, and alumni, and citizens of New Britain at this location without a lease in place, and

WHEREAS, CCSU has now proposed to enter into a lease agreement with ELC for a three (3) year, initial term with an automatic renewal of two (2) additional two (2) year terms at an annual rental of one dollar ($1.00), and

WHEREAS, The lease agreement will stipulate that the leased property only be used for the purpose of providing pre-school programming and early educational needs to young children of residents of New Britain and of the students, staff and faculty

CSUS BOT Agenda 04/07/11 Binder Page #48 members of CCSU, and for no other purpose or purposes without the prior written consent of CCSU; and that ELC comply with any and all ordinances and regulations affecting the leased premises and promulgated by any duly constituted governmental authority affecting the cleanliness, safety, use and occupation of the property, and

WHEREAS, As further consideration for the granting of this lease, ELC agrees that priority in enrollment will be granted to CCSU’s students and employees enrolling their children; and CCSU’s students shall be charged discounted fees on a sliding scale as determined by ELC and agreed to by CCSU, therefore be it

RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of the Connecticut State University System approve a lease of property located at 1285 East Street, New Britain, Connecticut, to the Early Learning Center, Inc, and be it further

RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees’ approval is conditional upon receipt of the Treasurer of the State of Connecticut’s review of and concurrence with the lease as required by Section 4b-38(g) of the Connecticut General Statutes.

ITEM Lease of 1285 East Street in New Britain, Connecticut to the Early Learning Center, Inc.

BACKGROUND On March 6, 1987, the Connecticut State University System (CSUS) Board of Trustees (BOT), through BR#87-36, authorized Central Connecticut State University to establish a non-instructional child care program, primarily for the children of students enrolled at the University. On December 8, 2000, the BOT, through BR#00-103, authorized CCSU to use operating funds to acquire 1285 East Street in New Britain to relocate its child care program in order to construct a new parking garage. On July 19, 2002, the BOT, through BR #02-37, authorized CCSU’s use of operating funds to renovate this property in order to meet child care codes, rules, and regulations.

The Early Learning Center, Inc. (ELC), a not for profit childcare provider licensed in the State of Connecticut, is the provider of CCSU’s child care service at 1285 East Street. A property lease agreement with ELC is not currently in place.

The Board of Trustees under its statutory authority – Section 4b-38(g) – “...may lease land or buildings, or both, and facilities under the control and supervision of such board when such land, buildings or facilities are otherwise not used or needed for use by the constituent unit and such action seems desirable to produce income or is otherwise in the public interest, provided the Treasurer has determined that such action will not affect the status of any tax-exempt obligations issued or to be issued by the State of Connecticut....”

ANALYSIS CCSU has proposed to enter into a lease agreement with ELC for a three (3) year initial term with an automatic renewal of two (2) additional two (2) year terms at an annual rental of one dollar ($1.00). As further consideration for the granting of this lease, ELC agrees that priority in enrollment will be granted to CCSU’s students and employees enrolling their children; and that CCSU’s students will be charged discounted fees on a sliding scale as determined by ELC and agreed to by CCSU.

The lease agreement will stipulate that the leased property will only be used for the purpose of providing pre-school programming and early educational needs to young children of residents of New Britain and of the students, staff and faculty members of CCSU, and for no other purpose or purposes without the prior written consent of CCSU. Furthermore, ELC must comply with any and all ordinances and regulations affecting the leased premises regarding the cleanliness, safety, use and occupation of the property.

The agreement will be reviewed by the Office of the State Treasurer to ensure that it does not affect the State’s tax-exempt status as required by State statute. In addition, the CSUS Assistant Attorney General has reviewed the lease agreement.

ITEM Authorization to borrow from the State of Connecticut Health and Educational Facilities Authority, in an amount not to exceed $30,000,000 for the purpose of financing in one or more series various additions and improvements to residential and other facilities of the Connecticut State University System and related expenses and financing costs, authorization to pledge certain revenues and the entry into various agreements with the Connecticut Health and Educational Facilities Authority to secure such loans and the bonds.

BACKGROUND Public Act No. 95-270 authorizes the Board of Trustees for the Connecticut State University System to borrow money from the Connecticut Health and Educational Facilities Authority (CHEFA) to finance dormitories, residential facilities, student centers, food service facilities and other auxiliary service facilities and related buildings and improvements. As further security for the financing of the capital program, the legislation provides that CHEFA’s revenue bonds may be secured by a State Special Capital Reserve Fund (SCRF). Repayment of the debt is generally provided through a pledge of University Fee, Housing Fee and Parking Fee revenues. Prior to Public Act 95-270, funding for auxiliary service projects was obtained through action by the legislature as self-liquidating bonds authorized under the State’s general obligation bond program.

In November 1995, the Board of Trustees for the Connecticut State University System secured $44,580,000 in bonds through CHEFA to finance a variety of auxiliary service capital projects at the four universities. This Series A Bond Issue was CSUS’s first opportunity to obtain funding for auxiliary service capital projects without seeking General Assembly approval. In March 1997, the Series B Bond Issue was implemented to secure $38,995,000 to finance auxiliary service capital projects. Debt service for these bond issues was financed exclusively through University Fee revenue. The Series C Bond Issue, completed in November 1999, provided an additional $23,000,000 for projects at the universities. Included in the Series C Bond Issue was funding for the construction of a 604-vehicle parking garage for Southern Connecticut State University. Southern established a separate revenue stream to finance debt service for the parking garage through the implementation of student parking fees charged to all full-time and part-time students at the university. The Series D Bond Issue, completed in March 2002, provided $76,150,000 to finance university projects including a 1,030-vehicle parking garage at Central, a 710-vehicle parking garage at Eastern, and a new student center at Southern. Both Central and Eastern established separate revenue streams to finance the debt service for their proposed parking garages through the implementation of a student parking fee charged to all full-time and part-time students at the university. The Series E Bond Issue, completed in May 2003, provided $142,090,000 to finance the construction of a student center on the Westside campus of Western Connecticut State University, as well as the development of three 251-bed residence halls at Eastern, a 365-bed residence hall and 450-vehicle parking garage at Southern, and a 351-bed residence hall and 325-vehicle parking garage at Western. Each university established separate revenue streams to finance debt service for their proposed residence halls and parking garages through housing fees and other revenues. In February 2004, the Series F Bond Issue was completed to provide for the advanced refunding of select maturities of the Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D revenue bonds totaling $49,475,000. The refunding resulted in a net present value savings of $1,834,336. The Series G Bond Issue, completed in June 2005, provided $50,595,000 to finance university projects including renovations and additions to the student center at Eastern and an 800-vehicle parking garage on Western’s Midtown campus. Debt service for Western’s parking garage was financed through student parking fees charged to all full-time

CSUS BOT Agenda 04/07/11 Binder Page #59 STAFF REPORT FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE students. Also in June 2005, the Series H Bond Issue was completed to advance refund select maturities of the Series B, Series C, Series D and Series E revenue bonds totaling $48,515,000. The refunding resulted in a net present value savings of $2,169,058. The Series I Bond Issue, completed in June 2007, advanced refunded select maturities of the Series D, Series E and Series G revenue bonds totaling $62,760,000. The refunding resulted in a net present value savings of $2,335,876.

Subsequent to the Series B Bond Issue, legislation was established under Section 4 of Public Act No. 97-293 ("An Act Concerning Advancement of Public Institutions of Higher Education”) which provided a commitment of $5 million per year to finance projects impacting residential and other auxiliary service facilities at CSUS universities. This commitment was for a period of ten years, beginning July 1, 1998. The language specified that the General Assembly would either provide $5 million from the General Fund to pay toward debt service on auxiliary service capital projects, or provide annual authorizations of $5 million from general obligation bonds to be allocated by the Bond Commission for auxiliary service projects. The program was designed to supplement funds issued to CSUS through CHEFA. This commitment was continued in the CSUS 2020 legislation established in FY 2008 under sections 101 through 108 of Public Act No. 07-7 (“An Act Authorizing and Adjusting Bonds of the State for Capital Improvements and for Transportation Infrastructure Improvements and Concerning the Connecticut State University Infrastructure Act”) which included the annual authorization of $5 million from general obligation bonds to fund auxiliary service capital projects. This funding source permits the continuation of CSUS's program of facility renewal and new construction for auxiliary service capital projects at the four universities without substantially increasing the University Fee.

The Board of Trustees last approved a five-year facilities plan for auxiliary service capital projects in May 2005, when it approved moving forward with the Series G Bond Issue. Since that time, general obligation bonds established under Section 4 of Public Act No. 97-293, funds available for auxiliary service capital projects under the CSUS 2020 legislation, and bond fund savings resulting from reduced costs for projects financed from prior CHEFA bond issues have been used to fund projects implemented at the four universities.

On March 14, 2011, a conference call was convened by the Council of Presidents to review the priority of projects requested for inclusion in a proposed updated, consolidated five-year facilities plan for auxiliary service capital projects (refer to Attachment A). In order to implement the plan, it is proposed that CSUS secure additional bonding through CHEFA to finance auxiliary service capital projects proposed for funding in FY 2010-11. We anticipate the bond sale (Series J Bond Issue) to take place in June 2011.

ANALYSIS Funding requirements for auxiliary service projects at the Connecticut State Universities in FY 2010-11 total $36,329,200 and will finance, in whole or in part, 19 capital projects and programs. The projects identified for funding at Central include design funds ($1,078,000) for a new food service facility to be constructed in the northeast section of campus, construction funds for phase II of heating, ventilating and air conditioning system improvements in residence hall facilities ($1,937,000), telecommunications infrastructure upgrades in residence halls ($948,000), and the minor capital projects program ($800,000). Projects proposed at Eastern include design funds ($161,000) for Occum Hall interior upgrades, fire alarm upgrades in Burnap, Crandall and Noble Halls ($763,000), elevator upgrades in the High Rise apartment building ($813,000), walkway, stair, roof and fascia replacement at the Low Rise apartment complex ($1,452,000), telecommunications infrastructure upgrades in residence halls ($1,271,000), and the minor capital

CSUS BOT Agenda 04/07/11 Binder Page #60 STAFF REPORT FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE projects program ($760,000). At Southern, projects include the construction of a 1,200-vehicle student parking garage on the site of an existing parking lot ($18,741,300), design funds ($529,000) for renovations and upgrades to mechanical, window and security systems in Brownell residence hall, repair and resurfacing of the north campus student parking lot ($1,126,000), telecommunications infrastructure upgrades in residence halls ($1,102,900), and the minor capital projects program ($1,100,000). For Western, funds are required for exterior repairs to residence halls ($1,081,000), design of renovations to Litchfield Hall ($1,064,000), telecommunications infrastructure upgrades in residence halls ($680,000), and the minor capital projects program ($922,000). Although the total value of these projects is estimated at $36,329,200, $6,704,878 remains available to fund auxiliary service capital projects from the FY 2009 and FY 2011 CSUS 2020 allotments, and $3,748,343 in unexpended interest earnings for capital projects in the CHEFA Series E and G bond issues would be available to fund some of the projects identified for FY 2010- 11. Therefore, the amount required to finance capital projects proposed under the CHEFA Series J bond issue is $25,875,979.

Debt service on bonds issued to fund the aforementioned projects, with the exception of 80% of the cost of the proposed 1,200-vehicle student parking garage at Southern, will be paid from University Fee revenues charged to fu ll-time undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at the Universities. The annual fee presently charged to in-state students is $942. The fee for out-of- state students is set at $2,310. This represents revenue of approximately $26,237,652. As of June 30, 2010, the fund balance to finance outstanding indebtedness and projected debt service requirements totaled $52,019,065. This fund balance is restricted by CHEFA bond covenants, and is wholly separate and apart from either the system or university fund balances derived from operating funds. Outstanding debt (principal and interest) for projects funded through University Fee revenues, as of June 30, 2010, totaled $210,360,975.

It should be noted that the CSU System has additional outstanding indebtedness totaling $176,426,548 to finance the construction of one parking garage at Central, three residence halls and one parking garage at Eastern, one residence hall and two parking garages at Southern, and one residence hall and two parking garages at Western. Initially, debt service for the funding of new residence halls and parking garages w as to be paid exclusively from housing and parking fee revenues generated at the applicable university. However, per the revision to the CHEFA debt service methodology presented to the Board of Trustees’ Finance and Administration Committee on October 1, 2009, 20% of the debt service for new residence halls and parking garages is retroactively provided from University Fee revenues and 80% is funded through the separate revenue streams previously established for each university including Housing Fee revenues (in the case of Eastern, Southern and Western), and Student Parking Fee revenues (at Central, Eastern, Southern and Western). These revenue streams also are restricted by CHEFA covenants to finance outstanding indebtedness for the specified residence halls and parking garages.

Accordingly, 20% of the estimated debt service ($6,647,049) on the proposed 1,200-vehicle parking garage at Southern will be funded from University Fee revenues while 80% ($26,588,195) will be financed from Southern’s parking fee revenues. Presently, all full-time students at Southern pay an annual parking fee of $269. Part-time students are assessed a $30 fee each time they register for courses during the fall and spring semesters and summer session, and are assessed an additional $29.20 per each course taken. The university has set aside $4,602,408 from previous parking fee revenues and anticipates setting aside $137 of the annual parking fee charged to full- time students and the $29.20 per course fee charged to part-time students in order to fund debt service for the proposed new parking garage. The projected annual parking fee revenue of $1,222,680 over the life of the bonds, along with the $4,602,408 previously set aside for debt service is sufficient to cover Southern’s share of debt service requirements.

CSUS BOT Agenda 04/07/11 Binder Page #61 STAFF REPORT FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE

Debt service projections for Southern’s share of debt service on the proposed 1,200-vehicle parking garage are provided in Attachments B1 and B2. Similarly, debt service projections for the remainder of the CHEFA Series J Bond Issue, which is to be funded from University Fee revenues, are provided in Attachments C1 through C3. The Series J Bond Issue will be structured so that debt service will be amortized over 20 years, utilizing level debt service payments.

As noted above, the funding requirements for FY 2010-11 from CHEFA bond issues total $25,875,979; adding the cost of issuance, estimated underwriter’s discount and deposit to a debt service reserve fund, the par amount of the bonds is estimated to be $29,405,000. The debt service reserve fund is required to ensure that CSUS is able to finance at least one year of debt service payments. A State Special Capital Reserve Fund (SCRF) would guarantee the replenishment of the fund should CSUS not be able to maintain the debt service reserve fund at the required level. Authorization is requested to proceed with the sale of CHEFA Series J revenue bonds in an amount not to exceed $30 million.

In order to obtain funding for the auxiliary services capital program through CHEFA, CHEFA’s bond counsel has provided the terms and conditions required for acceptance by the Board. This resolution incorporates the following terms and condition s:

approval of the proposed capital program, confirmation that CSUS is authorized to submit a request for financing to CHEFA on the Board’s behalf, approval to borrow funds necessary to finance the capital program, not to exceed $30 million, approval of a pledge to CHEFA of revenues of the University Fee, the Student Parking Fees at Southern, Eastern, Western and Central Connecticut State Universities, Housing Fees at Southern, Eastern and Western Connecticut State Universities and other fees (if required) to finance debt service associated with the financing, confirmation that the Board approves a State Special Capital Reserve Fund (SCRF), as further security for CHEFA’s revenue bonds which was provided for in the CHEFA legislation, authorization of the Chancellor of CSUS, and in the Chancellor’s absence, the Chief Financial Officer of CSUS to execute a series of legal documents on behalf of the Board including loan agreements and notes, and all other financing documents and written agreements, including tax compliance agreements to preserve the tax exemption on CHEFA’s revenue bonds, representation and indemnity agreements which indemnify CHEFA regarding information provided by CSUS and on environmental related matters, a continuing disclosure agreement pursuant to which CSUS will agree to provide financial statements and other operating data to the secondary bond market, permission for CHEFA to use information provided by CSUS in official statements issued by CHEFA, and approval of any trust indenture between CHEFA and the Trustee to be selected by CHEFA in order to consummate the financing of the capital program, authorization to permit designated system officers to move forward with all actions necessary to accomplish the financing of the CHEFA bonds, including approval of the terms of CHEFA’s revenue bonds, and a declaration of CSUS’s intent to comply with Federal income tax legislation, where appropriate.

ITEM FY2011-12 Tuition and Fees for Connecticut State University System Students

BACKGROUND The Board of Trustees under its statutory authority - CGS 10a-99 - reviews and establishes tuition and fees annually for such purposes as the Board of Trustees deems necessary.

ANALYSIS In September of 2010, the Board approved BR#10-72 which declared its intention to hold tuition and fees at the FY11 level for the CSUS universities in FY12, with the exception of Student Accident and Sickness Insurance, since these are simply pass-through charges. The Board further stated that it may need to reexamine this matter based on the action taken by the Governor and the General Assembly on the FY 2011-2013 Biennial Budget.

On February 16, 2011 the Governor released his proposed FY11-13 biennial budget, which included a reduction to CSUS’s FY12 Current Services request of approximately $21.8 million, with a similar reduction in FY13. At the same time, energy costs are once again spiraling, inflation is expected to increase, and FY12 includes both an additional pay period (a phenomenon which occurs once every ten years) as well as a leap year (meaning an additional day of operating costs). In addition, CSUS is committed to maintaining the quality of its academic and student programs and services, even in the face of reduced funding. It is also committed to maintaining the accessibility and affordability of its universities to the greatest extent possible.

In order to balance both the decline in State funding and the increasing commitments in the coming year, and after much deliberation and analysis, it is proposed that tuition increase by $101 or 2.5% per year for an in-state undergraduate student. Tuition and Mandatory Fees are proposed to increase by $198 or 2.5% for an in-state undergraduate student. Total Tuition and Fees for an in-state undergraduate residential student will increase $446 or 2.5%.

In addition, two additions to Tier II Fees are proposed. The first is the addition of a 2.5% credit card convenience fee which would be charged to any student utilizing a credit card to pay for tuition and fees. The cost of accepting credit cards has continued to grow as the use of credit cards has expanded, due to the per-transaction fees charged by credit card processors. These fees are generally a percentage of the transaction. It has not been unusual for universities around the country to either pass these additional costs on to the student in the form of a convenience fee (as does UConn), or to cease accepting credit cards entirely. The cost to CSUS in FY10 of accepting credit cards was $2.1 million. Studies have shown that the implementation of a credit card convenience fee does not impact student access.

The second Tier II fee, proposed by CCSU, is the addition of a lab fee of $300 per semester for full-time undergraduate Nursing students, and a $25 per credit hour fee for part-time undergraduate Nursing students. SCSU and WCSU currently charge similar lab fees to their

CSUS BOT Agenda 04/07/11 Binder Page #70

STAFF REPORT FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE

nursing students. Such a fee is necessary to keep nursing labs properly supplied, maintained, and supported.

Discussions were held with student leaders on March 28 and 29 to discuss the need to nominally increase tuition and fees in FY12, given current economic trends and the upcoming reduction in state support; as well as university and Systemwide efforts to contain costs and maintain quality.

The recommended increase will assist CSUS in maintaining the quality of its programs and services, and will enable more financial aid to be provided to needy and middle-income students, since this level of increase will result in a $517 thousand increase in the 15% set- aside for needy students (which CSUS typically exceeds).

CHANCELLOR'S RECOMMENDATION Approve the FY2011-12 proposed tuition and fees for Connecticut State University System students.

CALL TO ORDER Vice Chairman Balducci called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m., and, following roll call and announcing emergency exit locations, declared a quorum present.

ADOPTION OF AGENDA

Vice Chairman Balducci requested a motion to adopt the agenda as presented. Trustee Doyle moved to adopt the agenda with the addition of an item under NEW BUSINESS for a discussion to move forward a legislative proposal that would revise state statues concerning the structure of the CSUS Board of Trustees requiring the Governor to appoint

CSUS BOT Agenda 04/07/11 Binder Page #85 CSUS BOT Regular Session February 9, 2011 Page 2

a faculty member to serve as a member of the Board. Discussion ensued on the merits of the proposal (with secondary amending motions regarding addition of the item to the agenda made by both Trustee Pugliese and DeMasi) related to Trustee Doyle’s motion to amend the agenda, as well as Vice Chairman Balducci’s comment that if the matter was to be acted upon during the current legislative session, it would likely be at a special meeting of the Board of Trustees in the near future, possibly within one week. Trustee Doyle withdrew his motion to amend the agenda. On a motion by Trustee Williams, seconded by Trustee Pugliese, the agenda as presented was adopted.

Vice Chair Balducci indicated that he wished to extend, on behalf of Board members, the Chancellor and University Presidents, deepest sympathies to the Central community on the tragic loss of two of their students: Rich Royster and Brittany Mariani.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES

Vice Chairman Balducci requested a motion to approve the Minutes of the December 10, 2010 Regular Meeting and the January 29, 2011 Special Meeting; On a motion by Trustee Motley, seconded by Trustee Pugliese, the minutes were unanimously approved.

CHANCELLOR AND PRESIDENTS’ REPORT

Chancellor Carter echoed the comments of Vice Chairman Balducci expressing his sincere condolences upon the loss of Rich Royster and Brittany Mariani. Dr. Carter shared the following comments regarding his retirement from state service effective March 1, 2011:

“As you know, I announced last week that I will retire from state service effective March 1, 2011. Permit me this morning, if you will, to revisit some of that which I recently shared with you in my letter of resignation. To say that serving the students and our State of Connecticut has been the joy of my life is to understate the depth of affection that I have for the transformative impact of higher education; for my years at the University of Connecticut, at Eastern Connecticut

CSUS BOT Agenda 04/07/11 Binder Page #86 CSUS BOT Regular Session February 9, 2011 Page 3

State University and at CSUS; and for the remarkable and inspiring individuals with whom I have worked and learned for nearly a half-century. I am profoundly grateful to have worked in this system since 1988, first as Eastern’s president for nearly 18 years, and then as chancellor since 2006. I never envisioned being either a university president, or a system chancellor. It was difficult enough while growing up to envision completing high school, but, as do many of our students, I persevered. And I am so fortunate that perseverance enabled me to encourage our students as I was encouraged, to challenge them to succeed as I was challenged, and to watch them thrive as their God-given talents blossomed through their own hard work, seriousness of purpose and unrelenting drive. There is much that I will miss in retirement. First and most of all, I will miss the students. There is nothing more incredible, inspirational, insightful or just plain fun than spending time with students and being witness to their growth and achievement. I also will miss the interactions with faculty and staff, from tenured professors renowned in their fields to the maintainers and skilled craftsmen who help keep our campuses running smoothly. The vibrancy of a university campus is deepened and enriched because every individual, regardless of their station, has something of value to offer. Each of us is better for their unique and special contributions. I will also miss my work with public policy makers and elected officials, from Governors to legislators to community leaders, whose vision and diligence have been instrumental to the successes that we have realized. Their support and their constructive criticism, which we always have taken seriously and tried to address, has made each institution stronger. A great many individuals and institutions profoundly influenced my life’s journey, and I am deeply grateful to each of them. I am particularly indebted to the Board of Trustees of CSUS, for its many hours spent providing direction for our universities, to the late chairman Lawrence Davidson, who led the Board when I was hired as Eastern’s President, and to Searle Pinney, who succeeded him. I am extremely honored and privileged beyond words to have served under former Chairman Lawrence McHugh and his successor Chairman Karl Krapek. I spent the majority of my years in higher education working under their stewardship. Their sage advice, wise counsel and unwavering commitment to students have earned my enduring

CSUS BOT Agenda 04/07/11 Binder Page #87 CSUS BOT Regular Session February 9, 2011 Page 4

respect and admiration. Their leadership also ensured that the Connecticut State University System provides accessible, affordable, high quality education to thousands upon thousands of Connecticut students. Many of these students would not have had the opportunity for a college education if not for these institutions. I am also grateful to Bill Cibes, with whom I worked closely throughout his time as Chancellor, and whose leadership laid the groundwork for considerable progress in both academic programs and what eventually became the CSUS2020 capital investment program. The university presidents and administrators with whom I worked in Connecticut, first at UConn, and then at CSUS, have demonstrated that great leadership with solid teamwork brings remarkable results. It has been an honor to have worked with them on behalf of our students. We have weathered cutbacks without sacrificing the caliber of education we provide time and again, as economic winds shifted through the years. We have kept tuition in check despite diminishing resources, and maintained student success as our first priority. We reached out to our communities in unprecedented ways, and we brought Connecticut’s communities to our universities as never before. I am fully confident that Connecticut’s best times remain ahead, and that CSUS can and will continue to be an effective and energizing catalyst for Connecticut. Our universities ensure intellectual development, enhance economic competitiveness, provide cultural enrichment, and encourage civic engagement. In doing so, we make a better Connecticut. For me, the time has come to leave and enter upon my personal transition on March 1. In doing so, I am humbled by having had the chance to be a part of making a difference in the lives of four decades of students in Connecticut and beyond. I am eternally grateful to those whose support, camaraderie and friendship have made every moment of the journey thoroughly enjoyable. Though I will not physically be present, my thoughts, enduring commitment and innermost being will very much remain with the Connecticut State University System and all of those working for the benefit of students. I wish the trustees, presidents and entire CSUS community the very best.” Following Chancellor Carter’s remarks, Senior Vice Chancellor Louise Feroe updated the Board on the progress of the strategic focus working groups. Dr. Feroe reported that the working groups all

CSUS BOT Agenda 04/07/11 Binder Page #88 CSUS BOT Regular Session February 9, 2011 Page 5

completed their tasks regarding the planning priorities assigned by the Board and the reports are now being reviewed with an eye towards identifying overlapping issues, consolidating recommendations where appropriate and preparing an executive summary to facilitate the Board’s review of the material. Dr. Feroe noted that in addition to an Executive Summary, the Board would receive a full set of all the working groups’ reports for their review and consideration at the April Board meeting. President Miller shared remarks on the loss of Rich Royster and Brittany Mariani, noting that Central was hosting a memorial for both students later that afternoon. President Miller advised that Central’s annual report was available online and shared results of the employee satisfaction survey, noting significant gains in several areas between 2006 and 2008. In addition to areas concerning increased employee satisfaction, impressive gains were realized in employee recognition and awareness of the mission of the university.

ACADEMIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE

Trustee Doyle expressed his appreciation to Trustee Eberhard Asch for serving as Committee Chair at the Academic Affairs Committee meeting on January 25, 2011 and added that the Committee recommended approval of the following items. A resolution Reauthorizing the Trustees Scholarship Program in the Connecticut State University System. Trustee Doyle noted that the Trustees Scholarship Program was established through Board Resolution #97-49 and had been amended and reauthorized over time, ending with a three year reauthorization through Board Resolution #08-02. The purpose of the scholarship program is to recruit and retain full-time entering freshmen and full-time entering transfer students of exceptional talent who might not otherwise consider attending a CSUS university. Students must complete a minimum of 24 credits annually and maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0. A composite three-year analysis of the university reports to the Academic Affairs Committee reveals that over the last authorization period, the program distributed a total of $1,208,087 through 511 scholarships. Average scholarship award is $2,364. Distribution by student status has been fairly even, with 30% of the awards given to freshmen, 20% to sophomores, 26% to juniors, and 24% to seniors. Eleven percent of the scholarships have been awarded to students who are also Pell Grant recipients. Eighty-seven percent of the awards have been to students who have transferred to a CSUS university. Retention in the 90% range and graduation in the 80% range are well above students not in the program. Universities report that scholarship recipients make significant contributions to the quality of the academic environment and University life. Trustee Doyle reported that the proposed resolution reauthorizes the program for an

CSUS BOT Agenda 04/07/11 Binder Page #89 CSUS BOT Regular Session February 9, 2011 Page 6

additional period of three years. On a motion by Trustee Doyle, seconded by Trustee Messina, the following resolution was unanimously approved.

WHEREAS, The Trustees Scholarship program, established through Board Resolution #97-49, as amended and continued through Board Resolutions #98-68, 01-58, 05-01 and 08-02, authorizes each university to award scholarships for the specific purpose of recruiting and retaining full-time entering freshmen and full-time entering transfer students of exceptional talent who might not otherwise consider attending a CSUS university, and

WHEREAS, Standard university reports have provided evidence for the positive impact of the scholarship program in the present authorization cycle, ending in January 2011, therefore be it

RESOLVED, That the Trustees Scholarships program is hereby reauthorized under the same stipulations in Board Resolution 08-02, and be it further

RESOLVED, That the Trustees Scholarship Program shall be reviewed for continuing authorization by the Board of Trustees in January, 2014.

A resolution approving Modifications of the Master of Science and Graduate Certificate programs in Data Mining at Central Connecticut State University. Trustee Doyle stated that the Master of Science program modification reduces the required number of credits from 36 to 33, streamlines prerequisites, at the same time that expands course credits in the applied areas of statistics, introducing cutting edge techniques. The Graduate Certificate modification similarly adds options for applied statistic courses in the form of electives. . On a motion by Trustee Doyle, seconded by Trustee DeMasi, the following resolution was unanimously approved.

WHEREAS, The Master of Science program in Data Mining at Central Connecticut State University was approved through Board Resolution #01-46, as modified by Board Resolutions #07-01, and

WHEREAS, The Graduate Certificate program in Data Mining at Central Connecticut State University was approved through Board Resolution #07-02, and

WHEREAS, The university has provided rationale for the proposed changes in the program in benefit current and prospective students, therefore be it

RESOLVED, That Central Connecticut State University provide appropriate documentation to the Board of Governors for Higher Education to seek authorization for the proposed program modifications.

Nomination of Chief Judge Anthony J. Brandenburg of the Intertribal Court of Southern California to receive an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Eastern Connecticut State University. Trustee Doyle advised that Judge Brandenburg is a graduate of Eastern Connecticut State University and earned his J.D. from the Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego. Before his Chief

CSUS BOT Agenda 04/07/11 Binder Page #90 CSUS BOT Regular Session February 9, 2011 Page 7

Judge appointment, he served in the Municipal Court Bench in San Diego County as a Commissioner. He is an expert in Indian Child Welfare issues, has taught and trained over 300 Pro Term Judges, has testified before the US Senate Sub Committee on Indian Affairs, and has received several distinguished awards in his field. President Núñez has indicated that Chief Judge Brandenburg has confirmed his attendance to the university's Commencement Ceremony on May 22, 2011. .On a motion by Trustee Doyle, seconded by Trustee Pugliese, the nomination was unanimously approved. Trustee Doyle shared that the Committee also reviewed the Sabbatical Leave Recommendations from Central Connecticut State University for the 2011-12 academic year. Trustee Doyle reminded members of the Board about the upcoming dinner with CSU Professors and holders of Endowed Chairs.

FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE Trustee Messina reported that the Finance and Administration Committee met on Thursday, February 3, via teleconference due to weather-related concerns. While no action items resulted from the meeting, Trustee Messina reported that the Committee reviewed sabbatic leave recommendations for fiscal 2011-12 submitted by Presidents Miller and Battle; and heard an update on the status of CSUS 2020 Projects. While there was essentially no change in the status of these projects since the last update, Trustee Messina noted that the agenda for the next Bond Commission meeting contains four CSUS items, including partial funding for the renovations to Southern’s former Student Center to house the new School of Business, (a CSUS 2020 project). Upon Bond Commission approval, the project should be able to proceed. Trustee Messina noted that the Committee also reviewed the mid-year progress reports on this fiscal year’s approved spending plans, together with requests for three changes to authorized spending caps - at Western, to cover the earlier-than-expected appointment of two interim Deans; at the System Office, primarily as a result of projected expenses related to the Chancellor search; and in System wide Direct, resulting from the unplanned retirement payout for a long-time employee. FY10 ended the year with an addition to funds of over $13 million, versus a projection of a $1 million addition to funds, a reflection of rigorous control over expenses, both in hiring and spending. Trustee Messina noted that it was important to remember that the additional funds would all be necessary to meet increasing obligations in coming years (including, for example, salary increases for employees paid from the General Fund this year, the 27th payroll next year, and pre-funding for debt service) as well as to weather the budget constraints the State will be experiencing in the next biennium.

CSUS BOT Agenda 04/07/11 Binder Page #91 CSUS BOT Regular Session February 9, 2011 Page 8

FY11 is now projected to end the year with a $1.3 million addition to funds, versus a budgeted use of funds of $6.1 million, a positive outcome which, again, was driven by rigorous control of hiring and expenses. FY11 Revenue is projected to be down from budget by over $4 million, driven by decreases in Tuition and Fees. Overall, both full-time and part-time average enrollment are lower than budgeted year over year but average full-time enrollment is higher than FY10 (1.28%). In addition, three universities have commented that their mix of students is more heavily in-state than originally assumed in the budget. While this results in lower than budgeted Tuition and Fees, it is consistent with CSUS’ overarching mission of advancing the educational needs of the citizens of the State of Connecticut. In closing, Trustee Messina noted that each of the four universities and the System have been proactively dealing with the fiscal crisis facing the state for the past three years, and those efforts have borne fruit, as evidenced from the mid-year spending plan update. Going forward, he noted that it would be important to continue to take a conservative approach to spending and to explore other avenues to efficiency, including innovative ways to raise other revenues or consortial arrangements in providing non- core services, all while working to ensure so that CSUS can continue to offer first-class educational opportunities to Connecticut’s students while remaining affordable and accessible.

EXECUTIVE SESSION Vice Chairman Balducci requested a motion to go into Executive Session for the purpose of discussion on the retirement of the CSUS Chancellor, the CSUS Chancellor Search and the issue of an Acting Chancellor. He noted that no vote would take place during Executive Session. He requested that Chancellor Carter, Associate Vice Chancellor for Human Resources & Labor Relations David Trainor and Associate for Board Affairs Erin Fitzgerald remain. Trustee Pugliese so moved; Trustee Williams seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously.

RETURN TO OPEN SESSION Vice Chairman Balducci declared the meeting to be in open session at 11:23 a.m. and indicated discussion was limited to the retirement of the CSUS Chancellor Search, and the matter of an Interim Chancellor, with no votes cast during Executive Session.

CSUS BOT Agenda 04/07/11 Binder Page #92 CSUS BOT Regular Session February 9, 2011 Page 9

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE/CHAIRMAN’S REPORT Vice Chairman Balducci noted that he wanted to thank two people with whom he had the opportunity to serve for many years. He referenced that Karl Krapek had given his all as a member of the Board and as Chairman, adding that given his passion and commitment to the Connecticut State University System, it was hard to believe he wasn’t a CSUS graduate. Vice Chairman Balducci cited former Chairman Krapek’s love for the students, the programs offered, and for trying to make the CSU System accessible to any person in need was unparalleled. He noted that Chairman Krapek would not be forgotten for his work as an outstanding Board member, and as an outstanding Chair and that he, along with every member of the Board, offered their gratitude and wished him the best in the future. Vice Chairman Balducci stated he first met Chancellor Carter when he was appointed president of ECSU in 1988. He noted that Dr. Carter’s love for students was legendary and that he was an individual who was unrelenting in his time, devotion and commitment to the students and the Board for whom he served, many days being at the office at 4:30 a.m. Vice Chair Balducci stated that Dr. Carter’s tireless efforts on behalf of the state’s young men and women will have a long-lasting impact on countless of individuals. He wished Dr. Carter and his wife, Dr. Holley, all the best as they move on the next exciting phase of their lives. Quoting from Dickens’ Tale of Two Cities, Vice Chairman Balducci noted these were “the best of times, the worst of times” with the System facing challenging economic times, yet blessed to have the greatest student body, along with excellent faculty, staff and leadership operating the System. He noted that there were many parents and alumni who supported the universities of the System to the Nth degree, adding that he believed he spoke for the entire Board when he stated that, working together with all the CSUS community supporters, they would do everything they could to keep CSUS a cohesive unit down the road.

ADJOURNMENT Vice Chairman Balducci requested a motion to adjourn. Trustee Williams so moved; Trustee Pugliese seconded the motion and the meeting was adjourned at 11:51 a.m. Respectfully submitted,
