BOARD OF REGENTS BRIEFING PAPER 1. Agenda Item Title: Tenure upon Hire - UNLV Meeting Date: March 10-11, 2011 2. BACKGROUND & POLICY CONTEXT OF ISSUE: Board of Regents approval is required for tenure upon hire. UNLV requests such approval for the appointment of Mr. Randall Stout. In accordance with Title 2, Chapter 3, Section 3.3.1(b)(2): “The President of the institution, without seeking Board of Regents approval, may grant tenure upon hire to an academic faculty member who at the time of hire holds tenure at another institution…(B/R 12/05).” Since Mr. Stout is not tenured, this request comes before the Board of Regents in accordance with Title 2, Chapter 3, Section 3.3.1 (b)(1) which provides: “At the discretion of the Board of Regents, an academic faculty member may be exempt from the requirement of serving a probationary period and tenure shall be awarded on a case-by-case basis...” (B/R 1/04). This request is also in compliance with UNLV Bylaws regarding tenure upon initial appointment. 3. SPECIFIC ACTIONS BEING RECOMMENDED OR REQUESTED: President Neal J. Smatresk requests Board of Regents approval to grant tenure upon hire to Mr. Randall Stout within the School of Architecture, College of Fine Arts. 4. IMPETUS (WHY NOW?): Request for approval is made in order to offer employment with tenure commencing August 1, 2011. 5. BULLET POINTS TO SUPPORT REQUEST/RECOMMENDATION: • Per NSHE Code, the tenured faculty in the School of Architecture voted to recommend tenure upon hire and the result was overwhelmingly in favor of an appointment with tenure. • President Neal J. Smatresk has accepted the positive recommendations of Dr. Jeffrey Koep, Dean, College of Fine Arts, and that of the school faculty and, therefore, requests that Mr. Stout be appointed with tenure. • Mr. Stout’s CV is attached for review. 6. POTENTIAL ARGUMENTS AGAINST THE REQUEST/RECOMMENDATION: With the current economic climate within NSHE and the State of Nevada, it may not be prudent to extend this offer at this time. 7. ALTERNATIVE(S) TO WHAT IS BEING REQUESTED/RECOMMENDED: Withdrawal of the offer of tenure upon hire. 8. COMPLIANCE WITH BOARD POLICY: X Consistent With Current Board Policy: Title #2 Chapter #3 Section #3.3.1(b)(1) Amends Current Board Policy: Title #_____ Chapter #_____ Section #_______ Amends Current Procedures & Guidelines Manual: Chapter #_____ Section #_______ Other:________________________________________________________________________ X Fiscal Impact: Yes_____ No X Explain:____________________________________________________________ (BOARD OF REGENTS' AGENDA 03/10/2011 & 03/11/2011) Ref.

    CCOOnnectionsnnections East Tennessee Foundation 2016 ISSUE 1 Thoughtful giving for stronger communities, better lives Annual Meeting -- Much More Than a Piece of Cake Our 2015 Annual Meeting on January 26 struck a high note with Liz What’s Happening! McGeachy and Tim Marema performing their Americana, folk, and traditional Appalachian music, Father Ragan Schriver encouraging us in his opening in- vocation to look for opportunities to be generous, and 2015 Board Chair Keith Goodwin introducing board members and thanking those retiring for their service. The icing on the cake was a surprise ending: our own Anna Whitener popping out of a cake and handing over our 30th anniversary logo to be un- veiled by Anniversary Task Force members. The work of East Tennessee Foundation (ETF) in 2015, our 29th year, is a cause for celebra- tion, and that is exactly what we did – with a record-breaking crowd. We celebrated many examples of building philanthropy and chang- ing our region one life at a time. We closed out the year with nearly $15 million in new gifts, 411 funds, and total assets now approaching $300 million. We welcomed two new supporting organizations: the Women’s Fund of East Tennessee, and our largest, the Ted and Drama Russell Family Foundation. We look forward to supporting their targeted grantmaking in future years. In our own grantmaking, we awarded nearly $10 million in 2015. From monthly Agricultural Roundtable breakfasts bringing together new farmers, dairymen, marketers, mayors, lenders, and organizers in Washington County to a Remote Area Medical Clinic held on the Tusculum College campus bringing badly needed medical services and wonderful learning opportunities to college students in Greene County, our grantmaking was philanthropically successful for both givers and receivers.

    CCOOnnectionsnnections East Tennessee Foundation 2016 ISSUE 3 Thoughtful giving for stronger communities, better lives 30 and Loving It! ETF Brings Family Philanthropy Event to East Tennessee By Mary Beth West, 30th Anniversary Task Force Chair and ETF board member Glimpses of our 30th In celebration of our 30th anniversary, East Tennessee Foundation (ETF) delivered a dynamic series of events across East Tennessee August 23, entitled “Generous Genes: How Family Philanthropy Can Change a Region,” featuring book author and charitable giving expert Susan Price alongside local- ly based philanthropists who shared their personal experiences and advice. With nearly 300 people in attendance at a breakfast event in Athens, lunch event in Knoxville and dinner event in Johnson City, audiences asked ques- The Bus tions and gained perspectives on a host of opportunities as well as challenges that multiple generations within families face when seeking to make purpose- ful philanthropy decisions. “Children are born with an instinct to be empathetic, and with the right resources, children can change the world,” Price said. “You give them the skills to be philanthropic and then cheer them on.” “One of the bigger eye-openers for me was Susan Price’s observation of Millennials and the even younger Generation Z, in terms of how much their mobile devices factor into not only their inspiration for giving but also how Athens they give,” said ETF board chair and Knoxville panelist Dr. Jeffrey Becker. “In addition, the events brought to light that philanthropy can begin at home, and one doesn’t have to be wealthy in order be a genuine philanthropist.” Other event panelists included ETF board member and Chairman of Citizens National Bank Paul Willson and son Hugh in Athens; Dr.
