The following voted yes on the motion: Regents Weitzenhoffer, Bennett, Humphreys, Rainbolt-Forbes and Burgess. The Chair declared the motion unanimously approved. ROGERS STATE UNIVERSITY REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY Vice President Gollahalli expressed President Rice’s deep appreciation to the Board for allowing his absence to address a personal issue. Mr. Gollahalli referenced the printed President’s report that had been placed before each Board member, saying that it included a variety of academic achievements, athletics achievements, as well as detailing a number of cost-saving measures in light of the current budgetary situation. He highlighted two things of note: the RSU nursing program achieved a 94% pass rate on the state certification program, which is well above the state average, and the description and depiction of the school's new logo, a try to modernize the branding of the University. March 9, 2016 35024 HOUSING RATES – RSU The University continued to increase housing to the current level with the opening of University Village C in August 2015. Renovations and repairs to all of the housing complexes continue on an annual basis in order to offer our students the best and most appealing student housing in the area. Rogers State University’s residence hall rates are competitive to similar facilities at other higher education institutions and the University is the only regional public institution in the Tulsa Metropolitan area to offer residential housing on campus. No change to the rates for University Village A, University Village B, or conference rates are recommended. A new rate for athletic camps is proposed. A rate increase is proposed for Family Housing, Guard Officer Leadership Development housing, and for University Village C. Holding the rates at current levels and increasing some rates will allow the University to continue to offer options and remain as affordable as possible. Living on campus will remain an attractive option for our student population. Current and proposed semester rates effective August
