start something big
September 2, 2008
The Honorable Christine Gregoire Governor of the State of Washington Legislative Building Olympia, WA 98504
Dear Governor Gregoire:
This letter transmits the 2009-11 biennial operating budget request for Eastern Washington University. Developed within the guidelines set by the Office of Financial Management, this request represents Eastern's university-wide efforts to focus on its mission to prepare broadly educated, technologically proficient, and highly productive citizens.
Eastern has proposed decision package requests, which are directly related to our mission, including: a salary increase, campus safety, student success and retention, network infrastructure, library collections, academic technology, alternative teacher education programs, collective bargaining and self-insurance premium.
Faculty Salaries
Eastern Washington University is committed to providing a high quality educational opportunity to the students in its region. In order to offer a curriculum that provides a strong academic foundation for its students, it is essential the university attracts and retains high quality faculty. The competitiveness of our salaries determines, in large part, our ability to accomplish this goal. If Eastern continues to struggle to fill faculty vacancies in critical program areas and to lose good faculty to better paying opportunities at other universities, the quality of education could be impacted. Eastern requests funding for faculty and professional exempt staffsalary increases.
Campus Safety
Eastern Washington University is an open campus with a widely diverse student population. Recent violent incidents at other universities have increased concern about the safety of Eastern's students, faculty and staff. Safety is our number one priority at Eastern. Students can not learn and grow in an unsafe environment. Parents naturally do not wish to send their college age students to a campus perceived as dangerous. Faculty and staff do not wish to work in a hazardous environment. The more levels an institution is equipped to deal with aggression and violence, the better. Eastern requests funding for additional police officers, counselors and critical safety notification equipment.
Student Success and Retention
Eastern Washington University is a regional, comprehensive institution serving the workforce needs of the state by providing a quality education experience that prepares students for a variety

of careers. Fifty-five percent of the students served by Eastern are first generation college students and many are from under-represented groups. This funding directly impacts student success and retention. Targeted areas for student success funding include an early warning and intervention system for at-risk students, paid student internships, leadership and mentoring opportunities, a Summer Bridge program to transition students into the college experience and expansion of the Eagle's Scholars First Year Experience program. Eastern Washington University requests funding to address student retention issues.
Network Infrastructure
Aneffective information technology infrastructure is a critical component of Eastern Washington University's success in fulfilling its teaching mission, enhancing academic quality and in conducting daily operations. Students, faculty and staff are reliant on the technological infrastructure to conduct daily business. Eastern's students use the infrastructure to register for classes, to conduct coursework and to interact with faculty. Eastern's faculty use the infrastructure for instruction, student interaction and research.· Eastern's staff rely on the technological infrastructure to serve students, provide mandatory reporting, award financial aid and reduce administrative costs. The university has an obligation to provide a high level of security to protect confidential student information and to maintain the integrity and preserve the safety of university information. Eastern Washington University requests funding to address netwo:rk infrastructure issues.
Library Collections
Eastern Washington University's mission to provide an excellent student-centered learning environment is enhanced through library materials available to students to support their learning and research, with an emphasis on education (teacher preparation), engineering and the health sciences. Quality academic programs at Eastern demand ample library resources in courses that require students to analyze historical events, evaluate social and economic issues, learn the impact of innovations and build on the knowledge and research of people who preceded them. Eastern Washington University requests funding for Library Collections.
Academic Technology
Faculty members at Easternuse technology with increasing sophistication to enhance student learning in and out of the classroom. The value and sophistication of digital instructional content continues to grow as an increasing amount of learning takes place online. £-learning content management solutions are required to ensure the security of these digital resources and to encourage and allow the sharing of content between instructors and students. Expanding uses of instructional technologies requires a strong underlying e-learning infrastructure of equipment, software and staffsupport. The importance and merit of student involvement in the campus (student life), local community (civic engagement) and the world (service learning), is being The Honorable Christine Gregoire September 2, 2008 Page 3
recognized and increasingly valued by the educational community and the public. Eastern Washington University requests funding to upgrade and enhance academic technology.
· Alternative Teacher Education Programs
Eastern Washington University's origin as a normalschool with over a century of graduating PreK-12 educators has established a commitment to the preparation of teachers and to their continued professional development throughout their teaching careers. Eastern's teacher preparation programs excel in their incorporation of best practices in teaching and in their adherence to national standards for teachers. To address both the needs of working adults who are choosing teaching as a new career and the needs of practicing teachers who are place-bound as they pursue their teaching careers, Easternwill develop alternatives to current programs that are based on the accumulation of credits and check-offs of requirements. Eastern requests funding to address alternative teacher education program development.
Collective Bargaining Unit #1
Eastern Washington University is negotiating an agreement between the university and the Washington Federation of State Employees, Bargaining Unit #1. The provisions of this agreement will apply to all non-supervisory classified persons employed at Eastern Washington University.
Collective Bargaining Unit #2
Eastern Washington University is also negotiating an agreement between the university and the Washington Federation of State Employees, Bargaining Unit #2. The provisions of this agreement will apply to all supervisory classified persons employed at EasternWashington University who act regularly as an integral part of management.
Self-Insurance Premium
Managing and assessing risk is an important part of any organization. This process becomes even more important in the State of Washington because the State self-insures tort claims. EasternWashington University places a high priority on actively managing risk to minimize tort claims. Eastern established a risk assessment function with the responsibility to outline a comprehensive training and risk management plan and approved a formal Risk Management Policy to reinforce the commitment. Also, Easternhas established an expanded Risk Assessment Team, as well as guidelines and forms for Field Trips. OFM directed Eastern to develop a policy level decision package for the premium increase in the 2009-11 biennium. The Honorable Christine Gregoire September 2, 2008 Page4
Eastern Washington University remains focused on its mission and is actively working to fulfill its obligation to serve the educational needs of its region. Your support for, and recognition of, the role of higher education in a successful state economy is critical to our institution, our citizens and our state.
I urge you to carefully consider and support this request, and I look forward to discussing Eastern's plans with you and your staff. Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Rodolfo Arevalo, Ph.D. President

EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
Eastern Washington University is a student-centered, regionally based, four-year compmhensive state university offering baccalaureate and graduate degrees as well as an applied doctorate. Our campus is located in Cheney, within the Spokane metropolitan area, with additional learning centers in the region and elsewhere in the state. Eastern's commitment is to student opportunity and success and to providing the highest quality academic experience.
MISSION STATEMENT The mission of Eastern Washington University is to prepare broadly educated, technologically proficient, and highly productive citizens to attain meaningful careers, to enjoy enriched lives, and to make contributions to a culturally diverse society. Eastern Washington University will achieve its mission by providing:
• an excellent student-centered learning environment;
• professionally accomplished faculty who are strongly committed to student learning;
• high quality, integrated, interdependent programs that build upon the region's assets and offer a broad range of choices as appropriate to the needs of the university's students and the region; and • exceptional student support services, resources, and facilities.
Our Commitment: The surest way to achieve our mission is through an integrated and interdependent academic experience. Eastern is committed to supporting an academic environment that fosters connections among disciplines, between faculty and students, and with campus and community. Such an integrated experience is rich in opportunities for exploration, discovery, and learning by faculty, staff, students, and the community. It connects the liberal arts to career preparation. lit provides diverse perspectives with international connections.

LISTING OF STATUTORY AUTHORITY REFERENCES: In 1882, the Benjamin P. Cheney Academy was opened in response to a need in the region for extended educational opportunities and was funded by local contributions and tuition. In 1890, the State of Washington provided for the continued existence of the facility as a normal school for training teachers. Much has changed over the 100 years since the beginning of the school with the exception of a continuing commitment to provide for the changing educational needs of the Inland Northwest.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
Eastern is committed to the success of every student. Eastern's current retention figures equal or exceed the national norm, yet the university continues to strive for improvement. The university Enrollment Management Team is monitoring the "Common Measures" (graduation efficiency, retention rates, and graduation rates) and working with all units of the university to improve these. The university focuses on initiating new programs that research has shown to be effective with our student population. Approximately 55% of the current students Eastern serves are first generation college students. Many are under prepared.
The Summer Bridge program provides a jump-start to college success prior to beginning classes in the fall quarter. Eastern's Early Warning and Intervention System identifies students who are having academic challlenges and provides early assistance to enable successful academic progress.
The hiring of a new Quality Control and Assessment Coordinator will allow effective assessment strategies to be developed to assess these activities as well as supportthe assessment of the ongoing student support activities of the Student Support Center and the Trio program. The Quality Control and Assessment Coordinator will also work with the Assessment, Institutional Effectiveness, and Accountability Committee. This committee has recently completed Eastern's academic assessment plan. All programs, general education, and strategic planning activities are assessed on a regular three year cycle. This ongoing assessment ensures that Eastern maintains a high quality academic experience for all students.

September 2, 2008
In addition, the Assessment, Institutional Effectiveness, and Accountability Committee works closely with the Strategic Planning Council to assure all Strategic Planning activities are making steady progress toward university goals. Both the Assessment, Institutional Effectiveness, and Accountability Committee and the Strategic Planning Council work to assure that the dollars reach the strategic planning areas where they are needed.
The College Student Expectations Questionnaire (CSEQ) and National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) scores are monitored to determine the level of student engagement. Research has shown that student engagement is an important indicator of student retention and success.
The Board of Trustees has made diversity a priority. Eastern's stated m1ss1on to provide students with a diverse learning experience requires both integration of diversity into curriculum and faculty and staff who mirror the racial and ethnic makeup of our students. While our percentage of students of color has been increasing and is expected to continue to increase, Eastern's faculty and staff ratios have remained static at approximately 10%. A new Vice-President of Diversity position, workshops on hiring, and diversity grants are initiatives directed toward increasing the diversity at Eastern.
Campus safety is also a high priority at Eastern. Recent violent incidents at other universities have increased concern for the safety of Eastern's students, faculty, and staff. Students cannot learn and grow in an unsafe environment. Eastern's campus safety professionals are working to educate the students., faculty, and staff on identification of potentially dangerous behaviors.
APPRAISAL OF EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENTS
Higher Education Enrollment Trends Sources on enrollment trends indicate a challenging environment for Eastern Washington University. In the March 2008 projections of high school graduates for Washington, the Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education (WICHE) predicted that the state would see a 3.5% increase in graduates in the decade from 2004-05 to 2014-15, with virtually all of that growth occurring with the graduating class of 2007. Washington is predicted to mirror national trends. Following a period of steady growth for over a decade through 2007-08 a new period of stagnant growth or declines in the number of high school graduates is expected through 2013-14. As with national trends, Washington will see increasingly diverse high school graduates. In the decade from 2004-05 to 2014-15, the number of Hispanic high school graduates is expected to grow by over 80%, the number of Asian/Pacific Islanders is expected to grow by nearly 30%, while the number of White non-Hispanic graduates is expected to decline in the same period by nearly 13%.

According to OFM information on projected enrollment in higher education in the state and OSPI county by county data on high schools most directly served by Eastern Washington University, it will be difficult to sustain enrollment growth. Competition statewide for transfer students has increased with the numb,er of branch campuses, particularly on the West side, where most of the higher education enrollment growth will occur. Given these indicators, Eastern is focused on efforts to reach more diverse student populations, more nontraditional students, and to provide the support services that are known to increase student success in college. It is our determination to continue to seek enrollment gwwth by providing access, especially to those students who may not traditionally have considered higher education.
Economic Changes Eastern recognizes the changing nature of economic cycles. The challenge is to serve our students by providing quality education with increased services in an environment of increasing costs and declining resources.
A large percentage of Eastern's budget is funded through state appropriations with the balance from student fees. There is significant concern for the national economy in the next few years and the impact it will have on the Washington economy. As the statewide financial pressures expand amidst wealk revenue growth projected by OFM, higher education will be looking to the state for policy decisions regarding tuition levels.
In addition to the local and national economic pressures, we are also experiencing increased capacity within the state of Washington higher education system at a time when high school graduates are decreasing. The rising costs of living, including affordlability of higher education, creates another financial barrier for our students.
At submission date of this plan, Washington is doing slightly better than other parts of the nation with slight gains in jobs and tax revenues remaining steady. However, in 2009 and 2010, the state is forecasting a substantial decline in tax revenues. This will impact the ability of the state to keep pace with the current funding commitments. It's possible that economic recovery could begin prior to the end of the biennium, but it will be slow.
Partners Eastern Washington University enjoys strong collaborative relationships with regional high schools and a growing number of community colleges throughout the state. Eastern places a high priority on partnerships with community colleges to provide both transfer efficiency and baccalaureate completion.
The university works together with area urban and rural K-12 school districts toward mutual goals related to college preparation and other educational improvement issues. Through the Transition Math Project, Eastern has taken a leadership role with

September 2, 2008
Spokane Falls Community College and Spokane Community College in advancing math competencies statewide and aligning high-school mathematics curricula with college introductory curricula. Riverpoint Partnership in Math and Science, EWU, WSU - Spokane, CCS, ESD 101, Spokane Public Schools, Central Valley School District and Mead School District was formed in February of 2007 to improve math and science education and advance best practices in math and science instruction so that more students leave high school well prepared for rigorous college coursework for careers in math, science, engineering, and health sciences. Eastern is a principle contributor to a Microsoft Partners in Learning grant with the Cheney School District, designed to explore use of technology to improve student learning and more fully integrate assessment to increase student learning and enhance curriculum. Several Eastern faculty work with ESD 101 providing in-service to K-12 teachers. A new partnership with the West Valley School District in the area of civic engagement pairs Eastern students with West Valley students to work on community projects.
Eastern has been an innovator in partnerships with commrunity colleges, currently operating collaborative degree programs with colleges at eight locations across the state, including an on-site presence at Bellevue Community College. Eastern currently offers degrees in Applied Technology, Interdisciplinary Studies, Business Administration and Children's Studies. We are actively planning to strengthen and expand these partnerships over the coming three to five years.
In Spokane, Eastern continues a productive partnership with Washington State University at the Riverpoint Campus. In addition to providing Eastern programs in Business Administration and Public Administration, Physical and Occupational Therapy and Dental Hygiene, Eastern's Communications Disorders program has a longstanding collaboration with WSU's Speech Pathology program.
Eastern contributes to the Spokane region through our Institute of Public Policy and Economic Analysis The Institute operates as a university-wide collaborative team working with local institutions and constituencies to focus on economic analyses and forecasting on specific policy problems specific to the Inland Northwest. The Institute, partnering with Eastern's Center for Digital Media Design and Development, has launched the Spokane Community Indicators website and the Walla Walla Trends website. A similar website for Douglas and Chelan counties is currently under development.
Eastern's Center for Entrepreneurial Activities works directly with Spokane neighborhoods and business communities to promote economic development. Numerous grants support economic and business outreach among disadvantaged neighborhoods. An annual business plan competition, held in conjunction with Gonzaga and Whitworth universities, supports the innovative efforts of area business students.

Following 9/1 1, rates of international student enrollment began falling due to international tensions and reductions in student and faculty visas by the US State Department. However, in recent years Eastern's international student population has begun increasing. We anticipate continued growth, in part due to participation in the American Association of State Colleges and Universities' Sino-American 1+2+1 Dual Degree Program. Eastern's 1 +2+1 Chinese uniiversity partnerships have expanded from eight in 2006 to a current total of 23 partnerships, with six new agreements slated to be signed this spring. Eastern first enrolled seven 1+2+1 students in Fall 2006 and will enroll 52-56 in Fall 2008. Additionally, in 2007 Eastern gained approval to enroll students from Saudi Arabia with full Saudi government sponsorship and Saudi student enrollments are gradually increasing. A new iinitiative, building on Eastern's 2+2 agreements with community colleges in Spokane and western Washington, promises increases in international transfer students, as well.
Other risks & opportunities A variety of potential threats in the external environment warrant continued monitoring. Increasing competition with new four-year branch campuses currently coming online, as well as the continued proliferation of "for-profit" and private educational institutions may affect enrollments. Eastern also faces the risk of declining levels of state funding. In addition, increasing accountability, regulatory and reporting requirements place a growing demand on existing institutional work capacity.
TRENDS IN STUDENT CHARACTERISTICS
Demographic Changes Eastern's student body continues to grow in numbers of traditionally aged students, a trend we have seen for the past five years. In 2005 we saw an increase of more than 9% in students ages 15-20, the largest increase since 2000. Today, traditional students, ages 15-24, comprise 73% of our student body. This can be attributed in part to Eastern's strategy to provide a rich residential experience for students; 66% of Eastern's new Freshmen students live on campus. Significant numbers of individuals over 24 years of age are returning students or transfers from other 2-year or 4-year institutions who come to the university with post high school living experiences.
Mirroring a nation-wide trend, females comprise 58% of the student body, a number that has remained fairly constant over the past five years. Almost 88% of Eastern's students are undergraduate, with distribution fairly even across classes: 21.0% freshman (down from 26% 2 years ago), 16.1% sophomore, 23.5% junior and 24.0% senior.
Ethnic and Racial Diversity Eastern has also seen a rise in the number of students of color, reflecting the shifting ethnic demographics of Washington's K-12 population. OSPI reports an almost 30%

increase in Hispanic K-12 students in the state of Washington between 1999-2003 versus a 5% drop in white students. Eastern's increasingly diverse student body is reflected in our Fall 2007 enrollment of 19.9% students of color overall. We expect this trend to continue. In addition, the population of international students has decreased from 365 in 1997 to 159 in Fa Ill 2007, attributable to increasing regulation at the federal level and the after-effects of 9/1 1. Eastern's efforts to increase international student enrollment are described earlier under "Potential Partners."
Both Eastern's Board of Trustees and president have established specific priority goals related to diversity of faculty, staff and students. The Board will monitor implementation of the comprehensive diversity plan, and ensure appropriate measures and benchmarks are achieved. The president states that "within 10 years I want 30-40% of [Eastern's] student body to be ethnically and culturally diverse." Diversity is a priority at Eastern.
Academic Preparation and Interests Freshmen arrive at Eastern with average GPA's of 3.25 and average SAT composite (Verbal and Math) scores of 974. Freshmen average SAT scores have declined from a high of 1005 in 2002. Transfer GPAs have remained consistently in the 3.0 range since 1999. Students coming to Eastern indicate interests in Educatiolll, Business Administration and Biology/Chemistry, Psychology, Nursing and Pre-Medicine. Eastern's partnership with Washington State Patrol Forensics and focus on applied health have produced growing interest in Dental Hygiene and Criminal Justice.
Retention Patterns Eastern continues to track retention and graduation of its students on an annual basis via its participation in the University of Oklahoma's Consortium for Student Retention Data Exchange project. In 2007-08 Eastern began participation in CSRDE's Transfer and STEM retention projects, a national retention project being conducted by Dr. John Braxton from Vanderbilt. We also began internal efforts investigating term-to-term retention and interviews of departing students. Eastern's 2007 cohort freshman retention rate fell to 73%, although our seven year average of 76% still compares favorably with that of our peers. Retention rates in some minority populations declined for the 2007 cohort (approximately 9% for African American freshmen and 14% for Asian/Pacific Islander freshmen). Eastern has made second and third-year retention improvement an institutional priority. Eastern's six-year graduation rate of 47.1% (2001 cohort) reflects a 1.4% decline from 48.5% high 2 years ago and continues to receive our priority attention.
APPRAISAL OF INTERNAL CAPACITY AND NEEDS
Financial Health Assessment
A-14 Operati ng Budget Request 2009-1 1 Biennium 370 - EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
September 2, 2008
Eastern Washington University's financial position remains stable. The university effectively manages state appropriations, tuition revenue, self-supporting units, and grants and contracts to sustain and build its financial future.
Eastern's core funding is closely tied to the economy of the state of Washington, both in the level of state appropriations as well as the ability to adjust tuition rates. As the state's economic cycles experience a decline, it is our hope that support for higher education will keep pace with our increasing direct and indirect costs of providing a quality education.
While overall state appropriations for operating expenses have increased over the past three years, the state investment is expected to slow. During the tight economic cycles, Eastern will need to look to tuition increases to fund the growing cost of education.
Eastern is experiencing similar financial pressures of other institutions within Washington and throughout the nation. Some of these pressures are maintenance and deferred maintenance of facilities and infrastructure, cost of utility services, rising labor costs, and the recruitment and retention of faculty. A major cost is keeping pace with the necessary technology required in today's educational environment.
Human Resource Management Eastern works proactively to address workforce issues in a time of increasing demands of fiscal resources. About 70% of our current tenured faculty are more than 50 years of age, and 36% are more than 60 years old. This increases our projected turnover rate for the next decade as inevitable retirements occur, but also presents opportunities to structure staffing in ways that best meet our institutional needs and strategic goals. In addition, continuing technological changes and upgraded administrative systems require higher level technical skill sets for both faculty and staff.
Eastern has a specific goal of having faculty diversity match that of our student mix. These demands on our workforce and national! competition for the most qualified candidates impact the challenge of recruiting appropriate replacement hires.
Technology Capacity and Needs An effective information technology infrastructure is a critical component of the university's success in fulfilling its teaching mission, enhancing academic quality, and in conducting daily operations. In pursuit of developing this strong infrastructure, Eastern is actively engaged in reviewing and updating its information technology strategy through a formal strategic planning process. The intent is to develop a new comprehensive support structure that will better align with the institution's mission, vision, and strategic plan. This new plan will focus on re-engineering the organizational structure of the information technology support unit, set a plan for revitalizing the institution's technology infrastructure, and strengthen the use of technology in the academic environment.
A-15 Operati ng Budget Request 2009-1 1 Biennium 370 - EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
September 2, 2008
In addition to the information technology strategic planning process, Eastern is also engaged in the upgrade and rollout of administrative web-based systems that will greatly enhance the efficient management of the university. The on-going purpose of the administrative systems is to allow timely access to information for strategic decision making and the highest level of customer service for students.
Capital and Capacity Needs Eastern's changing enrollment and pedagogical needs have required significant enhancement of our physical plant. The completed renovation of Senior Hall, and the upcoming renovation of Patterson Hall are important steps to better position Eastern to meet the specialized educational classroom needs of our stud,ents. As competition for enrollment increases, capital amenities will become more important. To that end, Eastern has recently opened a Student Recreation Complex, funded through student and operational fees.
In addition to changes to Eastern's residential campus in Cheney, the university maintains a presence at Bellevue Community College and at the Riverpoint campus in Spokane. The university is planning to expand its footprint and programs at Riverpoint, which has become the educational hub for Spokane. Both the Bellevue and Riverpoint sites provide important Eastern access to diverse student populations.
SUMMARY OF CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNIITIES
Current changing enrollment patterns, increasing competition with branch campuses and for-profit institutions, and continued need for high-quality instruction for students from all backgrounds present both challenges and opportunities for Eastern Washington University. While some of these variables are within Eastern's control, others are clearly external factors to which Eastern responds strateg iicallywithin the context of our mission and vision for the future. Looking forward, we have identified the following challenges and opportunities.
Identified challenges:
• Providing quality educational opportunities and support services for all students with decreasing levels of state funding.
• Remaining competitive with the national market for the hiring of new faculty/staff.
• Competing effectively with expanding numbers of branch and out-of-state institutions offering competitive educational services in the greater Spokane area and statewide.
• Successfully serving under-prepared and first generation students from across the state.
• Expanding Eastern's international student clientele and providing international opportunities for Eastern faculty and staff.

• Integrating technology into pedagogy and curriculum.
Identified Opportunities:
• Aligning the university around student success as outlined in our academic strategic plan.
• Creating a more diverse campus and learning environment
• Building on successful partnerships with community colleges across the state to enhance learning opportunities, meet high-demand needs and expand recruitment of west-side students.
• Procuring larger and greater numbers of external grants and contracts that enrich the academic learning environment and build collaborative partnerships at the state, national, and international level.
• Focusing program delivery in Spokane at the Riverpoint campus to maximize regional impact and partnership opportunities.
• Expanding international relationships for students and faculty through innovative international exchange programs.

Managing and assessing risk is an important part of any organization. This process becomes even more important in the State of Washington because the State self-insures tort and workers compensation claims.
Eastern Washington University places a high priority on actively managing risk to minimize tort claims. Eastern has a fo rmal risk assessment function with the responsibility to outline a comprehensive training and risk management plan within university policy.
Eastern has established an expanded Risk Assessment Team and guidelines and forms for field trips. The committee has also developed an event risk assessment checklist for departments to use to assess t11e level of risk. A sub-committee has been for med to develop specific guidelines for field trips related to academic courses. The Risk Assessment Team has created a monthly meeting schedule to accommodate issues that arise.
OFM directed Eastern to develop a decision package for the premium increase in the 2009- 1 1 bienniwn. The OFM assigned actuarial figures identified Eastern's premium at $1,544,284 in this next biennium.

Eastern Washington University is an open campus with a widely diverse student population. Recent violent incidents at other universities have increased concern about the safety of Eastern's students, faculty, and staff. Safety is our number one priority at Eastern. Students can not learn and grow in an unsafe environment. Parents naturally do not wish to send their college age students to a campus perceived as dangerous. Faculty and staff do not wish to work in a hazardous environment. The state of Washington also shares the priority of providing a safe campus at Eastern asW hington University.
Eastern serves over 10,000 students and over 2,900 full time and part time fa culty and staff in various locations across the state. Eastern's Cheney campus averages one to three bomb threats per year and has experienced the explosion of two actual devices. Commencement exercises, athletic activities, and other high profile events each year bring large audiences and high profile dignitaries to campus, increasing the need to control and maintain safety. Many times per year these events require Eastern to rely upon outside resources from several law enforcement and non-law enforcement agencies to ensure safety. The more levels an institution is equipped to deal with aggression and violence, the better.
Eastern's campus safety professionals have worked diligently to consider the university's current safety level and potential improvements that will advance the safety of all campus constituents. Improving safety and response times to potentially violent events is often quite costly. Emergency response issues in tllis funding request include: hiring and equipping additional police officers, and support for increasing the campus awareness level related to potentially escalating behaviors.

The value and sophistication of digital instructional content continues to grow as an increasing amount of learning takes place online. £-Learning content management solutions are required to insure the security of these digital resources and to encourage and allow the sharing of content between instructors and students. Expanding uses of instructional technologies requires a strong underlying e-learning infrastructure of equipment, software, and staff support. The importance and value of student involvement in the campus (student life), local community (civic engagement), and the world (service learning) is being recognized and increasingly valued by the educational corJUnunity and the public. In addition, effective methods to corJUnunicate with students regarding academic issues, student life opportunities, and campus safety concerns are critically important.
Eastern Wash ington University requests $2,006,000 to upgrade and enhance academic technology.

PL DH EWU 2009-11 Alternative Teacher Ed
Eastern Washington University's origin as a normal school with over a century of graduating PreK-12 educators bas established a commitment to the preparation of teachers and to their continued professional development throughout their teaching careers. Eastern's teacher preparation programs excel in their incorporation of best practices in teaching and in their adherence to national standards for teachers. However, like many teacher preparation programs through the United States, Eastern has not fully responded to the needs of our PreK- 12 partners. In particular, Eastern has not been sufficiently innovative in [providing alternative, streamlined programs.
To address both the needs of working adults who are choosing teaching as a new career, and the needs of practicing teachers who are place-bound as they prusue their teaching careers, Eastern will develop alternatives to current programs that are based on the accumulation of credits and check-offs of requirements. At both the undergraduate and graduate levels, students need timely, outcome-based alternatives to our traditional teacher education programs.
Eastern requests $185,000 to address alternative teacher education program development in FYlO and FY ll.

2009-2011 Biennial Operating Budget Decision Package Summary
The following represents a summary of decision packages recommended for Eastern's 2009-201 1 Biennial Operating Budget Request.
Faculty Salaries $10,977,000
Eastern Washington University is committed to providing a high quality educational opportunity to the students in its region. In order to offer a curriculum that provides a strong academic foundation for its students, it is essential the university attracts and retains high quality faculty. The competitiveness of our salaries determines, in large part, our ability to accomplish this goal. If Eastern continues to struggle to fi ll faculty vacancies in critical program areas, and to lose good faculty to better paying opportunities at other universities, the quality of education could be impacted. Eastern requests funding in FY1 0 and FY1 1 for faculty and professional exempt staff salary increases.
Campus Safety $2,119,000
Eastern serves over 10,000 students and over 2,900 full time and part time faculty and staff in various locations across the state. Eastern's Cheney campus averages one to three bomb threats per year and has experienced the explosion of two actual devices. Commencement exercises, athletic activities, and other high profile events each year bring large audiences and high profile dignitaries to campus, increasing the need to control and maintain safety. Many times per year these events require Eastern to rely upon outside res.ources from several law enforcement and non-law enforcement agencies to ensure safety. The more levels an institution is equipped to deal with aggression and violence, the better.
Emergency Response Eastern's campus safety professionals have worked diligently to consider the university's current safety level and potential improvements that will advance the safety of all campus constituents. Improving safety and response times to potentially violent events is often quite costly. Emergency response issues in this funding request include:
• hiring and equipping additional police officers, and
• support for increasing the campus awareness level related to potentially escalating behaviors.

Emergency Equipment This request includes a wi-fi camera system, mobile dispatch computers, universal power supply, generator power, and enhancement of the campus electronic messaging system for timely notification of campus emergencies. This funding request is an investment of funds that will provide benefits for many years in increasing campus safety at Eastern.
Eastern Washington University requests $2,119,000 in the 2009-1 1 biennium to address safety issues.
Student Success and Retention $3,036,000
This funding request directly impacts student success and retention. Targeted areas for student success funding include an early warning and intervention system for at-risk students, paid student internships, leadership and mentoring opportunities, a Summer Bridge program to transition students into the college experience, and expansion of the Eagle's Scholars First Year Experience program. Eastern Washington University requests $3,036,000 in the 2009-1 1 biennium to improve student success.
Network Infrastructure $6,354,000
An effective information technology infrastructure is a critical component of Eastern Washington University's success in fulfilling its teaching mission, enhancing academic quality, and in conducting daily operations. Students, faculty, and staff are reliant on the technological infrastructure to conduct daily business. Requested funding will address teaching and learning, security of university information and critical business processes, and enhanced functionality for administrative technology_ Eastern Washington University requests $6,354,000 in the 2009-11 biennium to improve network infrastructure.
LibraryCollections $200,000
Eastern Washington University's m1ss1on to provide an excellent student-centered learning environment is enhanced through library materials available to students to support their learning and research, with an emphasis on education (teacher preparation), engineering, and the health sciences. Quality academic programs at Eastern demand ample library resources in courses that require students to analyze historical events, evaluate social and economic issues, learn the impact of innovations, and build on the knowledge and research of people who preceded them.

Washington University requests $200,000 in the 2009-11 biennium for library collections.
Academic Technology $2,006,000
Faculty members at Eastern use technology with increasing sophistication to enhance student learning in and out of the classroom. The value and sophistication of digital instructional content continues to grow as an increasing amount of learning takes place online. E-Learning content management solutions are required to insure the security of these digital resources and to encourage and allow the sharing of content between instructors and students. Expanding uses of instructional technologies requires a strong underlying e-learning infrastructure of equipment, software, and staff support. Eastern Washington University requests $2,006,000 in the 2009-1 1 biennium for Academic Technology.
Alternative Teacher Education Programs $185,000
To address both the needs of working adults who are choosing teaching as a new career, and the needs of practicing teachers who are place-bound as they pursue their teaching careers, Eastern will develop alternatives to current programs that are based on the accumulation of credits and check-offs of requirements. At both the undergraduate and graduate levels, students need timely, outcome-based alternatives to our traditional teacher education programs. Eastern Washington University requests $185,000 in the 2009-11 biennium to address alternative teacher education program development.

D-1 Operating Budget Request 2009-2011 Biennium 370 - EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
September 2, 2008
The comparative salaries of faculty at peer institutions play a key role in the recruitment and retention efforts at Eastern. Current salaries at Eastern have not kept pace with the salaries of faculty at other institutions, leading to the loss of faculty at the hiring phase as well as faculty in residence at the university. If Eastern is to retain its position as the major comprehensive institution serving the eastern part of the state, competitive salaries are critical.
Increased Recruitment for Faculty Diversity
A critical piece of the undergraduate experience is the acquisition of skills and knowledge that will prepare them for life in a diverse and global society. In preparing global citizens, the recruitment of a diverse faculty has been one area which has hindered the university's effort to expose students to knowledge and learning from diverse viewpoints, commitments, and experiences. The university's efforts would be strengthened if it could offer competitive salaries that would attract a diverse faculty.
Narrative Justification:
Eastern's Strategic plan includes three mutually reinforcing goals. Goal 1 is a "rigorous and engaged student learning experience." Goal 2 is an "academic community culture that supports and engages faculty throughout their careers." Goal 3 is an "institution-wide commitment to community engagement that benefits the university, the region, and the world."
Salary funding will aid Eastern in Goal 2 - supporting faculty throughout their careers. The ability to recruit and retain diverse faculty and staff would also support Goal 1 - a rigorous and engaged student learning experience.
Statewide Results Improve the value of postsecondary learning Improve the economic vitality of business and individuals
Reason for Change Eastern has experienced difficulty in recruiting and retaining faculty of excellence. Without superior faculty, it is difficult to provide a quality learning environment for Eastern's students. Without diverse faculty it is
D-2 Operating Budget Request 2009-2011 Biennium 370 - EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
September 2, 2008
also difficult to expose Eastern students to the many different cultures and types of people they will work and play with in the world.
Impact on clients and services Student success and quality of the higher education experience at Eastern will increase. Faculty job satisfaction will increase, resulting in lower turnover rates and make faculty recruitment more successful. Eastern will have an increased ability to attract and retain diverse facu and staff.
Alternative explored by agency Eastern continues to try to supplement salaries within existing funds -with limited success.
Budget impacts in future biennia Base funding is requested
Distinction between one-time and on-going costs Base funding is requested
Effects of non-funding Eastern will continue to recruit and retain the best faculty possible within funding levels, but it is possible that the quality of education provided may suffer.
Exp enditure calculations and assumptions This package creates a pool to address faculty recruitment and retention issues for FY1 0 and FY1 1. Benefit costs estimated at 18.15%.
Performance Measures:
Increased recruitment for diverse faculty Eastern's commitment to diversity encompasses a goal to increase the diversity of faculty. Students will be better prepared to contribute to a global economy with exposure to many different perspectives during their time at Eastern. The FY201 0 goal for average five year application rate for diverse faculty is 15%.
Retention rate of faculty during the tenure-track period Eastern recognizes that simply bringing faculty to campus is not sufficient, but that retention is vitally important. The FY20 10 retention rate goal for faculty during the tenure-track period is 85%.

Emergency Response
Description:
Eastern Washington University is an open campus with a widely diverse student population. Recent violent incidents at other universities have increased concern about the safety of Eastern's students, faculty, and staff. Safety is our number one priority at Eastern. Students can not learn and grow in an unsafe environment. Parents naturally do not wish to send their college age students to a campus perceived as dangerous. Faculty and staff do not wish to work in a hazardous environment. The state of Washington also shares the priority of providing a safe campus at Eastern Washington University.
Eastern serves over 10,000 students and over 2,900 full time and part time faculty and staff in various locations across the state. Eastern's Cheney campus averages one to three bomb threats per year and has experienced the explosion of two actual devices. Commencement exercises, athletic activities, and other high profile events each year bring large audiences and high profile dignitaries to campus, increasing the need to control and maintain safety. Many times per year these events require Eastern to rely upon outside resources from several law enforcement and non-law enforcement agencies to ensure safety. The more levels an institution is equipped to deal with aggression and violence, the better.
Eastern's campus safety professionals have worked diligently to consider the university's current safety level and potential improvements that will advance the safety of .§!! campus constituents. Improving safety and response times to potentially violent events is often quite costly. Emergency response issues in this funding request include:
o hiring and equipping additional police officers, and o support for increasing the campus awareness level related to potentially escalating behaviors.
Eastern Washington University requests a total of $803,000 to prepare for and respond to emergency situations.

Calls for service requiring a police response on Eastern's campus have steadily risen for the past two years. In 2007 there was a 17% increase in calls for police response over the prior year.
EWU police respond to an average of 1 ,500 calls each month. With only 7 uniformed officers to cover shifts 24 hours a day, each officer is handling 10 calls per day along with any commensurate reports generated from these calls. With mandated training, we often have sergeants covering calls. This in essence removes them from their primary function to supervise the line officers.
Funding the additional officers will allow a m1n1mum staffing level of two officers per shift, plus a supervisor . .w���• ln situations of rapid deployment to a critical incident, this provides us the capability to respond appropriately and to control a serious incident.
A special report on Campus Law Enforcement published by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics in February 2008, indicates that a campus with a student population of 10,000 students has a national standard of 18 commissioned officers.

Requested: $235,000 in FY1 0 and $21 2,000 in FY1 1 to hire two full time police officers to improve emergency response
Outcome: The additional 2.0 FTE police officers will enable Eastern to provide more comprehensive 24 hour coverage in responding to potentially dangerous incidents. Eastern's current ratio of 1 officer to 1 ,800 community members will decrease to about 1 officer to 1 ,400 community members. Current International Association of College Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA) standards recommend 1 officer for every 750 to 1 ,000 community members.
Increasing Campus Awareness-
Eastern requests $356,000 to increase general campus awareness of potentially escalating behaviors. This request includes two Campus Safety Advocates and operations support for a comprehensive campus awareness program. The Campus Safety Advocates will serve as liaisons between the Campus Alert Team and the students who rise to the attention of the Campus Alert Team, and who are in need of various forms of direct intervention.

The campus alert team model establishes an environment that helps to identify candidates for early screening and intervention. By working with faculty and staff at strengthening communication and support, future incidents can be prevented or minimized. A campus alert team has recently been established at Eastern to help create an environment in support of early identification and intervention associated with behavioral issues which may impact campus safety.
E-3 Operating Budget Request 2009-2011 Biennium 370 - EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
September 2, 2008
This collaborative team includes qualified professionals from university police and student affairs staff.
The campus alert team provides a mechanism for addressing observed behaviors perceived as problematic or threatening. During the 2007-2008 academic year, the Campus Alert Team dealt with 104 individual incidents, which included threats against faculty members, criminal activity, health related issues, and other problems in need of direct intervention. Some students were suspended from the university and a few were the subjects of criminal investigations. The Campus Alert Team maintains a 'watch list' of students who need more frequent intervention. That list included 35 students during the Spring Quarter of 2008.
Learning from these experiences, Eastern proposes to enhance the safety of our campus environment through the establishment of a comprehensive campus awareness program. The two campus safety advocate positions will be responsible for a comprehensive educational outreach initiative to increase awareness of campus safety best practices. lliilliiii_lllllllill_lllli._ll These new safety advocates will be credentialed counselors and will facilitate communication and referral in support of the campus alert team.
Requested: $181,000 in FY10 and $1 75,000 in FY1 1 for a comprehensive campus awarernesseducation program.
Outcome: Eastern's students, faculty, and staff will be educated in how to recognize potentially dangerous behavior and who to notify in these situations. During FY10 and FY1 1, training sessions and workshops will be conducted to instill the will to intervene when inappropriate behavior is observed. These workshops will be conducted by University Police, the Dean of Students Office and, the Campus Alert Team.

Emergency Equipment and Notification Technology
Description:
Eastern Washington University is an open campus with a widely diverse student population. Recent violent incidents at other universities have increased concern about the safety of Eastern's students, faculty, and staff. Institutions that are equipped to stand against violence reap less violence. Eastern must be prepared to address life safety issues that are raised by emergencies such as extended power outages and critical weather conditions.
Safety is our number one priority at Eastern. Eastern's campus safety professionals have worked diligently to consider the university's current safety level and potential improvements that will ensure the safety of all campus constituents. Improving safety and response times to emergency events is often quite costly.
Eastern Washington University requests $1,316,000 to fund emergency equipment and notification technology. This request includes a wi-fi camera system, mobile dispatch computers, universal power supply, generator power, and enhancement of the campus electronic messaging system for timely notification of campus emergencies. This funding request is an investment of funds that will provide benefits for many years in increasing campus safety at Eastern.

1. Mobile Dispatch Computers and Wi-fi cameras -- $306,000
Timely and accurate information are crucial when responding to a critical incident. The fi rst responders can determine the best actions if they have access
E-6 Operating Budget Request 2009-2011 Biennium 370 - EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
September 2, 2008 to real time information. The campus wide camera system integrated with mobile dispatch computers in patrol vehicles will provide real time information. The wi-fi system is accessible to the officer at locations throughout the university.
Mobile dispatch computer capability gives officers the ability to bring up data on an emergency call as it is received, and also provides access to photographs from online sources to view the building in real time prior to arrival at the site. The planned approach allows responding officers to determine the best avenue to quickly access the problem area, and to direct other responding units to areas of containment and assistance. Appropriate equipment will provide the officer with accurate information and assist in determining the safest means of approach and identifying the risks.
The Virginia Tech Review Panel noted in the Summary of Key Findings that the university did not have security cameras on campus. "The outcome might have been different if the perpetrator of the initial homicides had been rapidly identified."
Requested: $306,000 in FY10 to provide mobile dispatch computers and wi-fi cameras
Outcome: Police officers will be able to approach emergency situations with accurate and timely data to inform an appropriate response, resulting in reduced risk of negative outcomes.
2. Universal Power Supplyand Generator Power -- $224,000
Eastern faces a life safety issue with the migration of the telephone system from a centralized system with centralized backup power to a decentralized architecture using the university's data network. There is a need for a comprehensive review, plan, and implementation to ensure these critical communication systems remain available during a sustained power outage.
Each electronic component providing telephony connectivity to the end-user also provides in-line power to each device. Each data switch on campus providing telephony services should have at least one primary power connection and one connection to an uninterruptable power supply (UPS). The UPSs are designed to sustain power to the data switch until primary power is restored. The sustaining of data services during a power outage has become more critical as the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoiP) telephony system serves as a life safety medium to students, faculty, and staff. This proposal will also provide connection of the telecommunications room within each building to a backup generator. This would reduce the size of UPS device required, thus reducing the overall costs for
E-7 Operating Budget Request 2009-2011 Biennium 370 - EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
September 2, 2008 the UPS devices. As a mulltitude of devices are nearing their acceptable end-of life, each device will need to be replaced.
Requested: $224,000 in FY1 0 to provide universal power supply and backup generators for critical life safety telephone systems
Outcome: This project will result in a stable power supply for each telecommunications room and add backup power supply to eliminate power supply interruptions.
3. Enhance Authentication and Electronic Messaging Systems -- $786,000
Emergency situations at other educational institutions across the country have demonstrated the importance of being able to quickly notify individuals throughout the campus when emergencies arise. It is also important to strengthen network, application, and data system authentication to control and maintain appropriate access for users of these systems. A full-time technology support position is included in this request.
Although the current text messaging and authentication systems are working quite well, it does not access individuals who do not carry a cell phone or those who are working and have their phone turned off. The proposed electronic messaging system will provide a single method to notify all individuals across campus by sending simultaneous messages to cell phones, desktop telephones, digital signage monitors, e-mail, desktop computer screens, and public address systems. This acquisition will include necessary software applications, server hardware, digital signage monitors, panic button systems, and vendor implementation support. Although a final determination as to vendors has not yet taken place, potential vendors in this market include Berbee (lnformacast and Dora) as well as Cisco.
Currently, there are multiple authentication packages used for applications and systems, managed by multiple departments, across the Eastern Washington University campus. Funding will provide a single enterprise authentication solution. This will allow for better management and control of user access to these campus-wide systems. Funding will provide necessary software applications, server hardware, vendor implementation support, and vendor programming, resulting in complete integration of campus-wide notification systems. Many higher education institutions nation-wide, including institutions within the state, currently use these technologies.

Student Success and Retention Request
Package Summary:
Eastern Washington University is a regional, comprehensive institution serving the workforce needs of the state by providing a quality education experience that prepares students for a variety of careers. Fifty-five percent of the students served by Eastern are first-generation college students and many are from under-represented groups. During the 2007-2008 academic year, seventy-three percent of Eastern's students received financial aid and/or scholarships, totaling $82.5 million.
This funding addresses issues that directly impact student success and retention. Targeted areas for student success funding include an early waming and intervention system for at-risk students, paid student internships, leadership and mentoring opportunities, a Summer Bridge program to transition students into the college experience, and expansion of the Eagle's Scholars First Year Experience program.
Eastern Washington University requests $3,036,000 to address student success and retention funding issues in FY1 0 and FY1 1.

Package Descri�tion:
Coinciding with national trends and consistent with a long standing student centered mission, Eastern recruits and serves a historically fi rst-generation, underrepresented student population. This population, different from the traditional participating college student, has distinct support needs to ensure their success. Most of these programmatic needs are provided early in the student's
F-1 Operating Budget Request 2009-2011 Biennium 370 - EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
September 2, 2008 college career, as the literature is conclusive about identifying at-risk behaviors in the freshman year. Eastern's students must not only persist to graduation, but must also acquire the learning and skills to be competitive in a challenging job market.
Student engagement is the key to persistence, retention, and graduation. Eastern is focused on increasing its efforts to help students feel welcome and actively participate as members of the university culture. Eastern student surveys reveal that many Eastern students take time off from their studies, intending to return later. Some of these students have not yet committed to earning a degree, yet are testing the experience of university life.
There are often other factors such as financial need, medical issues, family needs, and family relocation that interrupt students' studies. Deliberate efforts at Eastern can help students experience the university in ways that result in a commitment to degree completion and integration with the university community. These efforts must be multi-dimensional to help students succeed academically, especially in the traditionally high risk academic areas of Mathematics, English, and the Natural Sciences.
Eastern requests funding for several specific programs that will positively impact student retention and graduation rates. The summer bridge program and the expansion of the Eagle Scholars program will help entering students understand the expectations for university academic standards, become active participants in the Eastern community, learn to study effectively, and learn to actively seek academic assistance when needed. Student internship and leadership experience will help continuing junior and senior level students participate as mentors, transition to professional post degree life, and lessen the financial burden associated with the 3rd and 4th years of undergraduate education. An early warning and intervention system will help identify students who are at high risk for course failure early in the quarter and use retention specialists to assure that students are receiving and utilizing all of the support services they need to succeed academically.
1. Early Warning and Intervention System -- $408,000
The Early Warning and Intervention System (EWI) is a cost-effective method for increasing student success in high risk courses. High-risk courses are those with
F-2 Operating Budget Request 2009-2011 Biennium 370 - EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
September 2, 2008 large enrollments and/or high historical failure rates. High-risk courses include gateway courses such as foundation classes in Math and General Science needed to prepare students for high demand majors in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics fields. Eastern has learned from the successful R2R (Roadmap to Redesign) initiative that student participation is an early and reliable indicator of the likelihood of student success. An IEWI system provides information that can lead to intervention during a critical timeframe, allowing sufficient time to engage students in positive actions that lead to success.
Research from Vincent Tinto, .a leading expert on student success programs, underscores the importance of expanding early warning systems to connect students with services and improve retention rates. Funding will provide retention specialists to implement Tinto's recommendations. These specialists will work through the central academic support center on campus to be the point of contact for faculty and students. The retention specialists will assist with identifying students who are not attending classes or are struggling academically.
Retention specialists are a critical component of Eastern's ability to raise students' achievement, retention, and graduation rates, particularly for Trio students and Trio eligible students (first generation, low income, and disabled students). The EWI system will optimize existing student support capacity.
Requested: $136,000 in FY1 0 and $272,000 in FY1 1 to provide students with early warning intervention services
Outcome: Students in courses where the Early Warning and Intervention System is implemented will pass the first examination with at least a 5% higher rate than predecessors in these high-risk or gateway courses. Overall course pass rates compared to the same courses with the same instructors will be 5% higher than previous courses, resulting in higher overall grade distribution for the courses.
2. Student Internship and Leadership Experience -- $1 ,730,000
Students at Eastern Washington University benefit from work experiences that incorporate their academic knowledge. Internships and mentorship programs provide students opportunities to develop leadership skills and to obtain professional experience prior to graduation. Unfortunately, many of Eastern's
F-3 Operating Budget Request 2009-2011 Biennium 370 - EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
September 2, 2008 students need to work to pay for their education and cannot afford to take advantage of unpaid internships or mentoring opportunities.
Internships -
Ninety percent of required internships for students at Eastern are unpaid. Students who are already working to pay for tuition and related college expenses must work the equivalent of two jobs while completing their internship requirements. Students who are required to complete unpaid internships for their major may be at risk of leaving Eastern due to the significant time commitment and lack of compensation for their efforts. These students provide valuable services in a variety of applied settings while refining their skills by applying the theories and techniques learned through courses in their majors.
Funding would provide paid internships to financially needy students who are required to complete field work as part of their major and do not otherwise receive any compensation for their internship work. Several undergraduate and graduate programs at EWU, including those in Developmental Psychology, Social Work, Education, Children's Studies, Dental Hygiene, Criminal Justice, PEHR (Physical Ed, Health and Recreation), Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Nursing, require students to complete internships.
The internship stipend program would require a learning contract. This is a formal agreement between the student, the supervising faculty member, and the field site supervisor, that specifies learning objectives, work activities, and time requirements for the student.
Internship stipends are based on financial need. Recipients must file a FAFSA form and have an estimated family contribution of $7,500 or less. The stipend willl be considered as a financial resource and may replace other forms of aid, depending on when the stipend award is made. Loans and work study will be replaced first, and grants will only be reduced as a last resort.
Mentoring Opportunities-
Students mentoring other Eastern students can provide benefits to both the mentor and the students they serve. Eastern currently uses student mentors for several programs. Two of these programs that are targeted to low income, first generation and under prepared students are the Washington Achievers Program and the Eastern ••-lllllil-iiiillllli•-•

Advantage Program. Student mentors commit to a training program and volunteer a minimum of twenty five hours of service per quarter. These students are expected to demonstrate leadership, commitment, and a team-oriented approach. All mentors receive valuable training and leadership development in coaching, goal setting, and communications.
Requested: $865,000 in FY10 and $865,000 in FY1 1 to provide paid internships and mentoring experiences for up to 150 students
Outcomes:
o Retention rates for low income students in majors with internship requirements will increase by 5%. Participation rates for low income students in elective internships will increase by 5%. o Increase participation of student mentors by 5% o Job placement for 505 of those students. participating in an internship program.
3. Summer Bridge Program -- $560,000
Access to higher education at EWU requires providing support for fi rst generation and under-prepared students. Many students struggle to meet the university's academic standards for mathematics and rr======� english composition. Creating a strong foundation in these two critical areas is the focus of a six-week intensive bridge program designed to sei!Ve up to fifty incoming students.
In the Summer Bridge Program, students live on campus in residence halls, enroll in at least two courses based on placement information, and receive tutorial assistance from •------• experienced faculty to supplement classroom instruction. Students who successfully complete the bridge program earn college credit prior to the start of fall term and benefit from being on the campus environment and participating in organized activities before starting fall classes.
This program is based on proven models for supporting the successful transition of first generation and under-prepared students. The program will also provide summer employment for current students at EWU who will teach portions of the supplemental instruction.

Outcome: Increase retention rate by 5% for those students who participated in the Summer Bridge Program as opposed to those students identified as first generation and under-prepared who did not participate.
4. Eagle Scholars Program -- $338,000
Eastern requests funding to provide a fi rst year experience course, entitled Eagle Scholars, to be modeled after best practice from around the country. Such programs consistently contribute to student retention, student academic achievement, and integration within the uniiversity community. The Eagle Scholars program will include a peer leadership program; co-curricular programming; and development opportunities for faculty, staff, and peer leaders.
This funding request will support enrollment for one half of the incoming freshman class (approximately seven hundred students) in Fall 2009. The three-credit seminar is designed to help students make a successful transition to college. It features a common book for all course sections that will serve as the catalyst for an integrated learning experience. Students will select and _ complete projects on a theme or topic related to the reading that they will share •illliiil______with the wider university community. A librarian will be assigned to each course to assist with research.
Requested: $1 69,000 in FY10 and $169,000 in FY11 to provide 700 students with the Eagle Scholars experience
Outcome: The course will improve the critical thinking, writing, and speaking skills of students as well as create a community of learners in the first year. The one year retention rate for students completing the course will be 5% greater than the general population of incoming freshmen.

G-1 Operating Budget Request 2009-2011 Biennium 370 - EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
September 2, 2008
The recent procurement of an Internet Protocol (IP) based telephone system, the campus rollout of wireless access points, and the proliferation of multiple IP based video systems and demanding applications (academic and security prevention) are driving the need for more sophisticated data distribution electronics to ensure the effective and efficient transmission of network traffic.
Current levels of service consisting of high-availability, throughput, and continuity are rapidly changing. The explosive growth in the use of the university's data network to support learning, access to on-line media, and individual research has accelerated the need to upgrade the electronic systems to adequately support the high amount of data traffic. Upgrading the data network core systems is a critical part of the measured, comprehensive plan to provide a fast, secure, and managed internet to support faculty, staff, and students. This initiative also supports the building infrastructure requirements along with manufacturer warranted cabling, which eventually will provide gigabit data rate speeds to the entire university computing system.
In conjunction with the Voice over IP-based telephone system, the university is now required to support and provide E-911 services to faculty, staff, and students. An effective and efficient network must be fitted with the necessary electronics to assist in providing priority to critical network traffic, ensure completed transmission, and allow for an identified "quality of service" to specific protocols. A full-time technology support position is included in this request. ------Requested: $336,000 in FY1 0 and $336,000 in FY11 to provide network support to all students, faculty, and staff
Outcome: Eastern will keep pace with increased network usage.
2. Infrastructure Upgrades -- $618,000
For the past decade, the university has undergone a number of large infrastructure upgrades to both academic and administrative buildings. The funding for this project will conclude the campus-wide cabling infrastructure that began in FY2000. Eastern has one last major campus facility to undergo a full network infrastructure upgrade. This will directly impact and add a significant computing benefit to the university students, faculty, and staff. The library is the
G-2 Operating Budget Request 2009-2011 Biennium 370 - EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
September 2, 2008 last major building to be brought to both university and the State's Department of Information Sei'Vicestelecommunication standards.
The library's current infrastructure has proven to be very problematic, in that delivery and modifications of telephone and data services are difficult to provide. This constraint is primarily due to deficient pathway and limitations of cabling ranges for effective data transmission. This facility serves a major resource to faculty, staff, student, and even community constituents. As the library provides a significant range of network services - wireless, data, helpdesk, telephone, research, and video, to the entire university, it is difficult to sustain the infrastructure needs. Network upgrades require comprehensive planning and consulting in an effort to meet the needs of the institution. This upgrade will be preceded by a comprehensive needs review, and will conclude with installed and tested infrastructure support.
With the vast majority of the university's buildings on par with telecommunication standards, the completion of these upgrades require an infrastructure (fiber) cabling upgrade between buildings. This part of the request will augment the university's existing cabling, thus providing fault-tolerance and allowing the institution to meet its service level agreements. The following fiber runs will be required to accomplish this upgrade:
• Pearce Hall to the Computing/Engineering Building
• Isle Hall to Huston Hall
• Pence Union Building to Science Building
• JFK Library to Pence Union Building
• Communications Building to Computing/Engineering Building
• Communications Building to Physical Education Classroom Building
• Martin Hall to Computing/Engineering Building
• Showalter Hall to Huston Hall
Requested: $309,000 in FY1 0 and $309,000 in FY11 to provide network support to all students, faculty, and staff
Outcome: All major campus facilities will have data accessible at high data speeds.
3. Wireless Systems and Services -- $276,000
G-3 Operating Budget Request 2009-2011 Biennium 370 - EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
September 2, 2008
Eastern has received funding from the student body (ASEWU) to implement wireless services. The need for wireless network services and availability, while perceived to be driven solely by the student body, has resulted in wireless access services primarily in limited academic areas. Consequently, services generally available in common public and academic areas are not wide-spread and highly available throughout the university's campus. Eastern proposes to add and augment wireless network access to facilities lacking such services, and common and public areas where student, faculty, and even staff could utilize an accessible suite of wireless networked services. Eastern has identified the remaining areas having both student and staff presence (the athletic complexes, three major academic buildings, two student buildings, and three administrative buildings), all of which provide direct and indirect networked services to the institution.
Requested: $138,000 in FY10 and $138,000 in FY1 1 to provide wireless access
Outcome: Eastern will provide enhanced wireless access to critical facilities through a robust and secure wireless data network.
4. Unified Messaging -- $378,000
Eastern proposes to add voicemail to the e-mail system structure. Unified messaging merges the voicemail and e-mail environments so that subscribers can effectively utilize an array of communication mediums, saving and forwarding voicemail in the same manner e-mail is handled. Effectively, the staff will be managing electronic communications in a single environment, thus promoting efficiency and collaboration both in and out of the office. In essence, the systems willl provide the university with a tool to facilitate a more effective and dynamic workforce, supporting research and the academic mission. The current system utilizes the Cisco Unity Voice Messaging platform(s). In effect, while voicemail and e-mail become and are treated the same, the systems also become a single computing unit.
The proposed system will integrate seamlessly into the university's recently implemented electronic communication system. The proposal consists primarily of licensing and consulting services for implementation, as such resources and skills that do not currently exist on staff. The proposal will consider both core systems, e-mail and voicemail, and determine which solution will be the most cost-effective and fiscally responsible. A full-time technology support position is included in this request.

Outcome: Faculty and staff efficiency will increase through the use of a consistent technology system for accessing voicemail and e-mail.
5. Telephone System Upgrades -- $253,000
This funding will complete the campus telephone system upgrade project that was started in FY08. During the past year, the university upgraded the telephone system across the majority of campus, replacing an antiquated analog telephone system with a new digital telephone infrastructure. A full-time technology support position is included in this request.
Historically, telecommunication systems and services provided to the university have been funded through a process of recharges to the customer. This systems upgrade is long overdue and cannot be sustained without implementing a more aggressive re-charge structure, thus over-burdening academic, administrative, and other critical university programs. To complete the project on schedule, the following buildirngsrequire an upgrade:
• Student Pence Union Building
• The Athletics Complex
• Tawanka Commons
• Cadet Hall
• Monroe Hall
• Louise Anderson Hall

Outcome: The entire university comm unity will use an enhanced digital telecommunications technology.
6. Server Replacement -- $459,000
Standard practice when purchasing university computing systems is to procure the systems with a fi ve year maintenance program. At the end of this period, the systems are replaced. The decision to replace on a five- year cycle ensures core applications, services, and systems operate on reliable and warranted hardware.
G-5 Operating Budget Request 2009-2011 Biennium 370 - EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
September 2, 2008
Moreover, as the systems near the end of the 5-year depreciation cycle, maintenance costs increase, and often as a result, so does down-time. This project funds replacement for those production systems that will be going off maintenance in FY10 and FY1 1.
The university owns approximately 125 servers, which provide core services such as voicemail, e-mail, authentication, back-ups, disaster recovery, domain name services, international student reporting, etc. While the number of servers has increased an average 25% each year, the university also recognizes the need to both conciliate and/or co-locate like systems through methods of virtualization. Such an initiative will demonstrate an effort to conserve energy, maintenance costs, and infrastructure requirements.
Requested: $255,000 in FY1 0 and $204,000 in FY1 1 to maintain critical computer systems
Outcome: Eastern's file server hardware will be systematically upgraded to prevent critical application failure.
7. Administrative Sys tem Hardware Replacement -- $612,000
Eastern's main administrative system is Banner, and the functionality of the Banner system is critical for all university units. The university's student, financial aid, and finance information currently reside on this system .
..------.. The Banner system hardware n...c.... -c. A""•vz•NG · w.""'"'G · oi'T'"""-c . N<"'""'"'"G . s(RVING was originally purchased and implemented (to support the S Banner Student and Financial ENTERPRISE svsTEM REPLACEMENT PROJECT Aid Modules implementation) in ..------• 2004. Capital funds were set aside to support this purchase. Enhancements to these systems (also funded through capital funds) were made to support the Banner Finance module implementation in 2006. The Banner Human Resources module implementation is underway, due to go live in January 2009. With minor enhancements funded by the Office of Information Technology, the current system capacity is sufficient to support the implementation of this final module.
Standard usable lifetime for this equipment is usually 4 - 6 years. This hardware is quickly approaching the end of its useful life and must be replaced to ensure continued system functionality and data integrity. This request provides the necessary planned investment for this hardware replacement. The proposed solution only accounts for a full replacement and does not represent a significant

September 2, 2008 change in capacity. Funds for ongoing maintenance and support of the current systems were established early in the project, but funds for replacement have not been set aside.
This funding request will include necessary server hardware and vendor implementation support. Although this initiative will not take place until funding is identified, it is expected that the institution wiill stay with the current hardware vendors (IBM and Dell) though this replacement.
Many higher education institutions nationwide, including institutions within the state, use these technologies. Eastern will follow appropriate state purchasing regulations and guidelines in the competition, selection, and purchase of these systems.
Requested: $612,000 in FY10 to purchase replacement hardware for Banner
Outcome: Eastern will have reliable and secure Banner admirnistrative system functionality providing integrity to major student, financial aid, finance, and payroll functions.
8. Enterpr ise Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) -- $995,000
The need for improved cyber security is becoming more apparent, as new technologies are introduced to the university. Networks and systems, especially those in higher education, are a constant target for hacker attacks, viruses, and spam. Higher education networks tend to be "open", which leaves the network vulnerable and exposed to attackers.
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a mature and developed infrastructure security solution, which promotes safe and secure file sharing, communication, and collaboration. Moreover, PKI allows for securely controlled intellectual property, research, and other academic and business materials.
Funding will provide asymmetric key encryption following industry security practices. Authentication will be the baseline for access to university systems, preventing passwords alone as being the barrier to accessing systems and information. Digital signatures will replace the need for hard copy documents and fulfill the intent of regulatory requirements. Email will be equipped witln secure transmission and unaltered communication. Web authentication and encryption willl enhance the ever growing university web environment, creating the secure reliant infrastructure such applications, research, and other academic programs. Eastern currently does not possess a mechanism or technology to digitally
G-7 Operating Budget Request 2009-2011 Biennium 370 - EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
September 2, 2008 identify users, digitally sign or manage documents, or to securely transmit information outside of organizational boundaries.
This project will be preceded by a comprehensive study, to include a needs review as it pertains to academia, regulatory requirements, FERPA, and other presiding governance. Additionally, the project will conclude with installed and tested infrastructure support, meeting the needs of the university programs to protect data, and facilitate efficiency, security, and productivity.
Eastern will partner with the state's Information Services Board (ISB) and the Department of Information Services to ensure compliance with IT investment standards and practices, as it pertains to implementing and investing in a public key infrastructure.
Requested: $615,000 in FY1 0 and $380,000 in FY1 1 to purchase and install enterprise public key infrastructure
Outcome: Eastern will provide instructional opportunities and conduct business using high level industry standard security practices. Eastern will have reduced risk exposure related to occurrences of serious electronic breaches of security.
9. Electronic Storage Enhancement -- $305,000
Electronic storage needs continue to grow, along with the need to provide backup and faculty/staff public and private network storage. Eastern requests funding to provide an increased and available disk-based storage system, as well as backup to support digital content management, and staff and faculty network storage. Additionally, the storage solution will accommodate the growth in the Banner system usage (data storage, reporting, moving old system data to archiving), and document imaging.
On average, the institution's raw data growth rate increases annually by 35%. This growth pattern can be contributed to the increased need for electronic and data retention, multimedia storage requirements, as well as data types and sizes. As a result, faculty and staff are utilizing personal storage devices such as portable drives and other removable media. Individual, departmental, and college storage needs are met by using client workstation and laptop capabilities. This practice not only leads to loss of unrecoverable data, but also places the
G-8 Operating Budget Request 2009-2011 Biennium 370 - EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
September 2, 2008 burden of data retention management on each individual end-user, which is difficult to mandate or enforce.
This proposal will satisfy the data retention requirement through the use of backup systems and methodologies, and meet the institutional needs for disaster recovery and business continuity. Increased storage capacity will enable the institution to store necessary data using a centralized service, thus leveraging a standard of mechanisms to manage retention policies. Eastern will be able to further protect sensitive data, and prevent the inadvertent loss of portable storage devices housing such data.
Requested: $305,000 in FY1 0 to purchase and install electronic storage
Outcome: Eastern will provide necessary electronic central storage to meet the increasing needs of the campus community.
10. Document Imagi ng Archival, Manage ment, and Collaboration Tools - $771,000
Eastern has a need for a comprehensive business automation system to manage and share university documents via workflow. This business automation system willl provide grreater insight and more effective collaboration throughout the institution. Most documents currently reside in non centralized file directories, and students, faculty, and staff rely on traditional methods such as email and file level access to collaborate. This proposal would allow increased coordination via workflow, managed complliance with document retention requirements, and improved collaboration.
Funding will provide centralized document management, document and forms workflow, and collaboration, served via the web. Regulatory requirements will be met by establishing storage and security, and settings policies dynamic enough to support changing governance, reducing litigation risk through effective and managed document control. A full-time technology support position is included in this request.
The implementation of this system will greatly enhance the efficiency and timeliness of many institutional business processes. This so!lution may be used to offset storage of hardcopy originals of documents, and will provide an opportunity for departments to store original documentation off-site, allowing for better space utilization.
Although there is no industry standard for these systems, it is expected that the successful vendor will have experience with integration of the Banner
G-9 Operating Budget Request 2009-2011 Biennium 370 - EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
September 2, 2008
Administrative system. This acquisition will include necessary application, server hardware, end user equipment (scanners, software licensing, etc.), training, and vendor implementation support. Although a final determination as to vendors has not yet taken place, an example of a vendor in this market would be Nolij.
Many higher education institutions nation-wide, including institutions within the state, use these technologies. It is the intent to follow appropriate state purchasing regulations and guidelines in the competition, selection, and purchase of these systems.
Requested: $437,000 in FY10 and $334,000 in FY1 1 to purchase and install document imaging tools
Outcome: Eastern will experience increased efficiency related to digital access to all central university documents.
11. Web Portal -- $465,000
Eastern, along with higher education institutions nationwide, is striving to increase student enrollment. Many higher education institutions offer enhanced web portal access for students, faculty, and staff. Web portals allow all university constituents (including students, staff, faculty, parents, and guests) access to systems respective to their needs. The proposed system is personalized and provides power search tools, self-managed information, integration with university learning tools and applications, and other services such as secure online commurnication with students, faculty, ��==,. =� and parents. A full-time technology support ��� � � position is included in this request. 11::=:::::�;;:
The web portal system willl provide students, faculty, staff, parents, guests, and alumni with enhanced services such as personal information updates, payments, donations, announcements of general university business, email accounts, wireless access, and secure communication.

Outcome: Eastern's customizable web portal, "myEWU", will be offered to all university affiliates.
12. Help Desk System -- $550,000
Eastern has a significant need for comprehensive service and support for information technology systems. This proposal would enhance the service and support of information systems by providing comprehensive help desk service with additional staff support. Users could access the help desk system by telephone or the web (e-mail and live chat) and in some cases, resolve issues using self-service and knowledge base tools.
The Office of Information Technology is charged with supporting over 2,900 full time and part time faculty and staff, as well as over 10,000 students. Over the past three years, on average Eastern's technology support teams have responded to over 1 ,200 support calls for faculty and staff, averaging 440 calls per month. Trends are indicating the need for support increases at both the start of academic quarters and during major system implementations. This support is not only required at peak times, but also during the life cycle of the product and during any major system, university, or program-level changes. Three full-time technology supportposit ions are included in this request.
The largest university systems, Blackboard (On-Line Learning), Banner, (Student and Financial Information Systems), and OpenLDAP (authentication), serve a sum of 12,500 end-users, which consists of students, faculty, and staff. With the myriad of other institutional systems, a comprehensive support helpdesk application will support the needs of all students, faculty, and staff. Core criteria for this system will allow the supportteam(s) to identify criticality, level of support skill required, a comprehensive knowledge base for self-service, and a mechanism for identifying support trends. In addition to applications, the increased presence of information technology in the organization, to include enhance classrroom equipment, personal computing systems, and media driven devices have significantly increase the need for skills, support tools, and even custom developed knowledge bases.
Requested: $321,000 in FY1 0 and $229,000 in FY1 1 to implement an integrated information technology help desk
Outcome: Eastern's integrated help desk system with institutional telephone and network systems will provide centralized access to support information technology systems on campus.

Library Collections Request
Description:
Eastern Washington University's m1sston to provide an excellent student centered learning environment is enhanced through library materials available to students to support their learning and research, with an emphasis on education (teacher preparation), engineering, and the health sciences. Quality academic programs at Eastern demand ample library resources in courses that require students to analyze historical events, evaluate social and economic issues, learn the impact of innovations, and build on the knowledge and research of people who preceded them.
Eastern Washington University requests $200,000 to fund Library Collections.

Operations 100,000 100,000 200,000
Total 100,000 100,000 200,000
Narrative Justification:
Library collections are an integral support to learning at a university. The value of the instructional experience at Eastern is dependent in part on the quality of the library resources. Inflation on the cost of journals subscribed to by· Eastern was 9% this year, the first time it has dipped to a single digit in more than 15 years. Inflation in the price of books and DVDs continues to be in the 4% - 5% range. If Eastern does not own materials that a student needs, the library incurs staff time, postage/shipping and/or copying, and other fees to access the needed item.
Eastern's library works closely with the other state baccalaureate institutions' libraries to share resources and avoid duplication wherever possible. The institutions also work together to submit joint requests for the funding of library resources, particularly electronic resources that all of our universities need to license for use by faculty and staff. In some
H-1 Operating Budget Request 2009-2011 Biennium 370 - EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
September 2, 2008 circumstances it is less expensive for Eastern to subscribe to electronic journals and databases separately, and some journals are not needed by all six universities. This funding request for library collections will provide resources that fit this situation. Library resources acquired through this funding request do not duplicate the resources for which funding is being sought col lectively by the six baccalaureates through the Higher Education Coordinating Board. This funding will enhance resources for our teacher preparation program as well as for programs in health sciences and engineering "high-demand" fields.
Eastern's major challenge is to continue current subscriptions. Rising costs put pressure on the entire budget, causing us to cancel important books and journals in order to keep major publications. Eastern struggles to maintain essential journals in physical and occupational therapy and depends increasingly on resources available online at Riverpoint through WSU. Unfortunately, because these are available through licenses covering WSU students and faculty, they are only accessible to Eastern students and faculty on computers in the Riverpoint Campus library -- not in offices, labs, or classrooms andl not remotely to our students doing their internships throughout the state. Access for Eastern students is possible only if we can pay for necessary licensing.
This funding would also expand Eastern's education collection, including the purchase of some of the software packages or subscriptions that are used in K- 12 classrooms to teach students. This kind of teaching material enhances our teachers-in-training experience, and gives students experience in developing lesson plans and curriculum plans that include these learning tools. Electronic resources to support engineering and technology include publications of IEEE (Institute for Electronic and Electrical Engineering) and ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) publications. One important title needed by Eastern's students is lnspec, an electronic full-text database of articles and other publications in electric engineering, computer science, physics, and related fields.
This request will provide acquisition and maintenance of library resources in 1;;;:�;;=:;:;;;;.::====:1 electronic format that support access to higher education. Electronic resources make our library accessible to our traditional on-campus students as well as to our students in off-campus academic programs. To address the impact of inflation on our ability to provide essential library resources across the curriculum and to meet the needs of our distant and commuting students, the Eastern's
H-2 Operating Budget Request 2009-2011 Biennium 370 - EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
September 2, 2008 library has cancelled paper journals where ever possible. Instead, Eastern has subscribed to electronic databases that contain articles from a broad spectrum of journals or a group of journals in a specific field of study (such as engineering or business). Inflation on these databases tends to be lower than inflation on print subscriptions to individual journals. However, Eastern cannot cancel portions of a bundled electronic subscription when funding is insufficient.

Alternative Teacher Education Programs Request
Description:
Eastern Washington University's origin as a normal school with over a century of graduating PreK-12 educators has established a commitment to the preparation of teachers and to their continued professional development throughout their teaching careers. Eastern's teacher preparation programs excel in their incorporation of best practices in teaching and in their adherence to national standards for teachers. However, like many teacher preparation programs through the United States, Eastern has not fully responded to the needs of our PreK-12 partners. In particular, Eastern has not been sufficiently innovative in providing altemative, streamlined programs.
To address both the needs of working adults who are choosing teaching as a new career, and the needs of practicing teachers who are place-bound as they pursue their teaching careers, Eastern will develop alternatives to current programs that are based on the accumulation of credits and check-offs of requirements. At both the undergraduate and graduate levels, students need timely, outcome-based alternatives to our traditional teacher education programs.
Eastern requests $185,000 to address alternative teacher education program development in FY10 and FY1 1.

J-1 Operating Budget Request 2009-2011 Biennium 370 - EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
September 2, 2008
"Learning Communities," this program permits teachers to pursue their graduate degrees in cohorts in their home communities.
Enrolled students pursue individual and group research projects that serve both the student's needs as well as the strategic goals of the teacher's school district. Rather than earn a Master's degree through the accumulation of credits, students in the Learning Communities demonstrate mastery of learning objectives for the degree through demonstrated and regularly assessed performance. Trained facilitators work with each cohort of teachers as they �- progress toward established performance goals.
The program is constructivist in its theoretical foundation; that is the participants willl construct their knowledge through their own intellectual inquiries, with the aid of facilitators (both on-site and online) but without the trappings of traditional educational delivery.
This program will benefit teachers in any school district in the state of Washington, but the program is likely to be especially useful to rural and isolated districts, including those that serve the state's Native American communities.
Requested: $1 15,000 in FY1 0 and $70,000 in FY1 1 to provide alternative teacher education programs.
Outcome - Eastern establishes an initial teacher education program in a rural and/or isolated community in the region.

Self-Insurance Premium
Description:
Managing and assessing risk is an important part of any organization. This process becomes even more important in the State of Washington because the State self insures tort and workers compensation claims.
Eastern Washington University places a high priority on actively managing risk to minimize tort claims. Eastern has a formal risk assessment function with the responsibility to outline a comprehensive training and risk management plan within university policy.
Eastern has established an expanded Risk Assessment Team, and guidelines and forms for field trips. The committee has also developed an event risk assessment checklist for departments to use to assess the level of risk. A sub-committee has been formed to develop specific guidelines for field trips related to academic courses. The Risk Assessment Team has created a monthly meeting schedule to accommodate issues that arise.
OFM directed Eastern to develop a decision package for the premium increase in the 2009-11 biennium. The OFM assigned actuarial figures identified Eastern's premium at $1,544,284 in this next biennium. The state funds the self-insurance premiums for state agencies in the maintenance level budgets as a revolving fund.
Eastern requests that the assigned premium of $1 , 544 ,284 for self-insurance premiums be funded in the maintenance level of the 2009-1 1 biennial budget.

Narrative Justification:
Eastern's risk management plan includes (1) a management function to develop and communicate policies and procedures for risk management to the campus; (2) a risk assessment team to identify, evaluate, and manage risk of ongoing operations/activities, special events and activities, and risk of environmental health and safety issues; and (3) staff training programs to underscore the importance of a supervisor's role in reducing risk exposure and the employee's accountability for compliance with policies.
Risk management plays a strong role in the emergency management function of the university. Eastern has created a full-time policy administrator to facilitate and administrate the urniversity policy process and has hired an internal auditor to develop a risk assessment survey to provide information on areas of vulnerability.
Eastern has activated the university Safety and Radiation Safety Committee which develops guidelines, policies, and procedures to address safety issues. Environmental Health and Safety has an annual schedule and is actively conducting building inspections to identify safety issues for resolution. The university has increased the insurance coverage to include medical malpractice insurance. Eastern has developed a comprehensive claims file and tracking system to include university investigation of incidents as they arise.
Assessing and Managing Risk: The risk management function includes leadership on university risk management teams, development and communication of policies and procedures, development of a web-site, development and communication training materials, emergency management issues, and systematic auditing of university functions to specifically identify areas of high risk. �-��.:.-�;;;�;;�=.I Risk Management Teams: Eastern understands the need to have campus-wide participation in risk assessment. Based on this understanding, the risk assessment team has been expanded to include representatives from the core functions including campus police, risk management, environmental health and safety, business and auxiliary services, the associate to the president, academic affairs, student affairs, and other functional areas relative to the issue being reviewed.
Department references and guidelines have been established for field trips and events requiring review by the risk assessment team prior to the trip. In addition, individual
M-2 Operati ng Budget Request 2009-1 1 Biennium 370 - EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY
September 2, 2008 guidellines outlining responsibility to manage liability are provided to all external organizations using Eastern's facilities.
Supervisory/Employee Training: Eastern offers comprehensive training for all new staff, faculty, and supervisors. Eastern increased the frequency of training and reminders to all employees and supervisors regarding their accountability for complliance with current and new internal and external policies. A complete training plan will be established by the risk assessment team to establish ongoing reminders and clarifications of expectations. An emergency management training program will continue to keep the campus informed of their responsibilities during an emergency.
Eastern understands the importance of holding employees accountable for compliance by ensuring that employees have a clear understanding of the policy. To ensure supervisors are informed of any new policy development, Eastern will conduct briefing meetings to respond to questions and provide information pertaining to the supervisor's responsibility for implementation of that policy. With clear understanding of the policy, the supervisors i w ll be asked to ensure that their employees are informed about the policy, understand the policy, and understand that they will be held accountable for actions deviating fmm the policy.
Tort Loss Claims:
Eastern's self-insurance premium cost history:
• 2001-2003 --$365,656
• 2003-2005 --$644,758
• 2005-2007 --$507,746
• 2007-2009 --$1,106,200

• 1999-2001 -- $239,330
• 2001-2003 -- $141 ,902
• 2003-2005 -- $223,737
• 2005-2007 -- $237,367
• 2007-2009 -- $189,993 (through FY2008)
Future Loss Trends:
Based on Attorney General risk management training on employment law trends, Eastern will see an increase in employment litigation and will need to review processes, ensure supervisors/managers receive continuous training on proper handling of the
M-3 Operati ng Budget Request 2009-1 1 Biennium 370 - EASTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY

process, and maintain appropriate records and disclosure. In addition, Eastern has had other non-employment tort claims in the areas of property damage, bodily injury, personal injury, personal property and wrongful death and will continue to see claims in some of these areas. The university will need to continue investigation of these issues and create mitigation plans to address future issues.
Outcomes:
Eastern will improve the management of policies and claims by investigating claims and providing thorough input to the state Risk Management department regarding each claim_
Eastern will work towards reducing the frequency and severity of claims by conducting follow-up training and/or de-briefings with units.

BUDGET IMPLEMENTATION PROVISOS
Regional Initiatives in Dental Education (R IDE):
Funds allocated by the state through the operating budget of Eastern Washington University have enabled Eastern to support the start up costs for the RIDE program in FY08 to ensure the equivalency of the educational experience of the RIDE students to that of their classmates at the University of Washington, School of Dentistry, which is the institution granting the doctoral degree.
In FY08, funds were used to hire staff and to procure equipment, instructional resources, distance learning and simulcast equipment to access the expertise of educators at the University of Washington, School of Dentistry. Eastern purchased digital radiographic and other state-of-the-art dental diagnostic equipment that will prepare the RIDE students to go out on rotations serving the underserved communities of eastern Washington. The following positions were filled in the RIDE program: Program Director; Operations Manager; IT Specialist; and Dental Laboratory Technologist. In 2009, fa culty will be added to the existing positions in the program. Some are coming from other departments within the university (Biology, Dental Hygiene, Physical Therapy), and others, due to their unique areas of expertise, will come from the local community of practitioners. Still others with unique expertise will be traveling on a regular basis to the Riverpoint campus from Seattle (UW) and Pullman (WSU).
A diverse group of eight students, all of whom are passionate regarding outreach opportunities in eastern Washington, were admitted to the RIDE program for Fall 2008. This represents the current capacity of the program. The stated purpose of the program is to place these students, who are committed to eastern Washington, in underserved locations during their pre-doctoral years. RIDE students will participate in community service opportunities during their rotations in the final three years of their pre-doctoral education. RIDE is part of an inter-professional agenda which combines UW medical and dental students in classrooms and clinical situations together and remains an important focus of the program. The RIDE program is making historical inroads by providing collaborative dental education in the state of Washington and by providing underserved eastern Washington communities with dental health care.
Funding: $501 ,000 in FY08 and $520,000 in FY09

TRIO Eligible Student Support:
Funds allocated by the state through the operating budget of Eastern Washington University have enabled Eastern to expand support for TRIO eligible students. This funding which Eastern, Central Washington University and Washington State University are calling WaTEP (Washington TRIO Expansion Program) is being used to expand the highly effective educational be·st-practices in place in the Student Success Strategies project. The funding supports Eastern's mission by providing a student-centered learning environment to prepare broadly educated, technologically proficient, and productive citizens.
WaTEP program objectives include: • At least 250 eligible participants were selected for the program as required by the state legislation. Eligibility is based on a status of low-income, first generation, or having a registered disability as defined by the Higher Education Act.
• 85% (212) of the participants will be retained as required by the state legislation. Retention is defined here as persistence measured by continuing enrollment or graduation of participants from one academic year to the next.
• 250 participants will receive a minimum of 5-10 contact hours per academic year through the activities identified. • A tracking system will be used to distinguish the state funded students and the services they receive from the SSS students and the services they receive.
In FY2008, Easterrn exceeded all program objectives. As of June 30, 2008, the total number of Eastern WaTEP students who received five or more hours of service was 251. Two hundred and thirty-six students were in good standing at the end of the 2007- 2008 school year, which is 94% of total WaTEP participants. The average overall GPA for WaTEP participants at the end of Spring quarterwas 3.077. Participants received 3,294.25 total hours of serviice, which averages out to 13.12 contact hours per participant. As of July 31, 2008, 198 WaTEP participants are registered Fall 2008, 5 students transferr,ed to other institutions of higher education, and 20 participants graduated, which gives WaTEP a retention rate of 88.8%.
The Eastern WaTEP program has provided assistance to participants through staff tutoring; peer and staff facilitated collaborative study groups; professional mentoring; disability support services; the Financial Management and Scholarship Writing Seminar; major, career, and grad school counseling; leadership/tutor training; computer and printing lab access; and laptop checkout.
Funding: $250,000 in FY08 and $250,000 in FY09
