REGULAR BOARD MEETING

Chairman Kern C. Gardner called the meeting to order at 10:20 a.m. in the Student Center, Room 110, on the Orem Campus of Utah Technical College/Provo. The members of the Board had convened in an executive session breakfast meeting with President J. Marvin Higbee at 8:00 a.m. The four standing committees of the Board had held individual meetings from 9:00 a.m. to approximately 10:15 a.m. Regent Maxwell v/as excused from the meeting due to assignment outside of the State.

Report of the Chairman

Honorary Degree - Commissioner Arvo Van Alstyne Chairman Gardner said he would like to acknowledge the good judgment of the University of Utah Institutional Council in announcing the intention to confer an honorary degree upon Commissioner Arvo Van Alstyne at Commencement in June, and to congratulate him on this well-deserved honor.

Report of the Commissioner

Women in Faculty Positions in Higher Education, 1983-84 Commissioner Van Alstyne referred to the annual report (Tab P) relating to the employment of women in faculty positions in the Utah System of Higher Education, as prepared by Ms. Lou Jean Flint of the Commissioner's Office. The data are derived from reports provided by the several institutions to the Department of Education. The most important element of the report, the Commissioner said, is that in the past three years most of the system institutions have made significant progress in improving the proportion of women in faculty positions. In the long run, this will improve the quality of instruction, because faculty 180

recruitment is from a larger pool. At the same time, the report could be misleading if not read correctly, as average salaries for women have been declining slightly over the same period of time. This can be partially explained, at least, (1) because of increased employment of women in the entering ranks at entry-level salaries, and (2) because data suggest that women seeking positions in the academic world tend to cluster in disciplines that tend to pay less (e.g., humanities, fine arts, social studies) rather than in higher paid disciplines (e.g., engineering, sciences, computer technology). Commissioner Van Alstyne recommended that each institutional president, during the process of allocation of funds for salary and wage increases for 1984-85, conduct a careful assessment of individual differences in salaries, tenure awards, and promotions, as between male and female faculty members, and where any existing disparities are not fully justified on objective and gender-neutral grounds permitted by law, take appropriate corrective action. He further recommended that a report on the actions taken at each institution pursuant to this agenda item be provided to the Board of Regents at the May meeting of the Board in connection with the presentation of work programs for 1984-85. Equipment Purchasing Program of State Department of Administrative Services Commissioner Van Alstyne referred to an information report (Tab Q) concerning the initiation, through the innovative leadership of Cathryn Coll is, Director of the Division of Purchasing of the State Department of Administrative Services, of a new program for equipment financing. The program involves issuance of tax-exempt certificates of participation to be used to fund lease-purchase acquisitions of equipment for Utah state agencies and institutions, and should enable higher education to obtain increased "productivity" from our severely limited funds for equipment acquisitions, the Commissioner said.

Reports of Committees of the Board

Budget and Finance Committee Guidelines for Preparation of Institutional Tuition and Fee Schedules for 1984-81T The Finance Task Force, meeting on March 19, 1984, reviewed proposed guidelines for preparation of institutional tuition and fee schedules for 1984-85, and recommended alternative language as listed on a sheet distributed at the meeting. Committee Chairman W. Hughes Brockbank reported that the Budget and Finance Committee had considered the revised language and recommended approval of the four items listed, together with an added item that: 1. All 1985-86 tuition and fee rates are to be effective with the Summer Term 1985. 181

Chairman Brockbank explained that seven of the institutions already apply new tuition and fee rates effective with Summer Term, while two institutions do not apply the new rates until Fall Term. The latter two would be allowed to continue their current practice for the 1984 Summer Term but should conform to this guideline beginning with the 1985 Summer Term. He offered a motion to adopt the item, Regent Buckner seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. Chairman Brockbank then moved to adopt the following guidelines for the preparation of institutional tuition and fee schedules for 1984-85, for approval by the Board of Regents at the April meeting. Regent Mariani seconded the motion and it was unanimously adopted. The guidelines are: 1. Institutions may exercise the option to delay initial or further movement toward linear tuition schedules, pending Board considera- tion of Finance Task Force recommendations regarding linear tuition policy in the Fall of 1984. Institutions wishing to initiate or continue movement toward linear tuition schedules may do so. 2. Institutions moving toward linear tuition may propose variable rates of increase at different credit hour load levels, provided the calculated result of the proposed increases, based on enrollment targets for 1984-85, does not exceed tuition and fee revenues contained in the 1984-85 Appropriation Act. 3. Institutions which have not yet instituted movement toward a linear tuition schedule are expected to increase all rates in their current tuition schedules approximately by the percentage increases indi- cated for the institution (either 4 percent or 8 percent), with allowance for appropriate rounding of amounts. 4. Institutions are expected to show moderation in proposing increases in other required general fees. Percent increases in the sum of such fees above 8 percent will require exceptional justification. Report on Student Loan Program Secondary Market Financial Arrangements. As offered at the February Board meeting, Commissioner Van Alstyne provided a summary report as to the operational status of financing arrangements developed in conjunction with approval and execution of the $300,000,000 advance credit commitment from the Student Loan Marketing Association (Sallie Mae). See Tab B. The principal modifications in existing financing arrangements consist of the following elements: 1. A substantial reduction (to $10,000,000) in the amount of borrowing from the Revolving Credit Commitment, together with a reduction in the interest rate on this sum, and a release of the lien previously required by this agreement on surplus funds generated by the program and not otherwise committed. 2. A substantial improvement in the net yield of student loans purchased with funds derived from the Variable Rate Demand Note arrangement, resulting from the renegotiation of the cost of the ISP- Morgan backstop commitment (which in part secured this source of credit) from 1 percent per annum, amounting to $500,000 per year, to zero. In addition, by arranging for an exchange of student loans which were previously in the portfolio securing the Morgan Revolving Credit Commitment, the net yield of the portfolio securing the VRDN arrangement was enhanced. Commissioner Van Alstyne noted that these significant fiscal advantages, which were achieved in addition to the long-term stability realized by the Sal lie Mae commitment, are estimated to reduce financing costs for the Student Loan Purchase Program by at least $850,000 over the next year. The additional costs associated with the termination of the proposed 1983 revenue bond issue, while regrettable, will amount to approximately one-half the projected savings described above. The Commissioner said he wished to record again the debt of gratitude which the Board of Regents owes to Chairman Brockbank, whose personal efforts and negotiating skills realized the beneficial results described. Tab B also contained a more detailed summary and comparison tabulation of the financing arrangements currently in place in support of the Board's Student Loan Purchase Program, prepared by Richard 0. Davis, Assistant Commissioner for Guaranteed Student Loans. Chairman Brockbank said the information report was received with appreciation by the Budget and Finance Committee. Concerning the investment losses billed by Smith Barney, Harris Upham & Co. on the aborted 1983 revenue bond issue, Chairman Brockbank said it was the Committee recommendation, and he so moved, that the Executive Committee be empowered, upon receipt of an opinion from the Attorney General's Office (if said opinion states that the losses are indeed an obligation of the Board of Regents), to authorize payment to Smith Barney. Regent Blackham seconded. Regent Hoi brook supported the motion but with the understanding that the Executive Committee is empowered to make the payment but is not directed to do so. He said we should not rule out consideration of the possibility of a declaratory judgment action. The mover and seconder accepted that understanding and the motion was adopted by unanimous vote. Commissioner Van Alstyne confirmed that payment of attorney's fees would be handled under the action taken at the February Board meeting. Enrollment Report. Tab C contained a report of 1983-84 enrollments through Winter Quarter, including comparisons of enrollment changes from 1982-83 to 1983-84. Both headcount and FTE enrollments, on a systemwide basis, have surpassed the enrollments of last year for each academic quarter. Winter Quarter FTE enrollment was up 413 or 0.8 percent, while headcount enrollment grew by 1,065 or 1.7 percent. However, there were indications that the rate of growth may be slowing as the student retention rate from Fall to Winter dropped slightly from one year ago. There were also variations among individual institutions, with some institutions losing students. 133

Commissioner Van Alstyne noted the continuing decline of nonresident students at Utah's colleges and universities, despite an overall increase in student enrollment. In the past five years the percentage of nonresident enrollment to total student enrollment has declined from 14.8 percent to 9.5 percent. The declining numbers of nonresidents evoked expressions of concern from others as well, with several discussants citing the benefits of a diversified enrollment mix to a broad, cultural education. President Cazier suggested that nonresident students were being priced out by the current tuition ratio of 3.2 times resident tuition. There was also discussion of the requirements for Utah residency and whether nonresidents were finding it easier to change to resident status. President Brady suggested that data be developed to show the students' high schools of origin. Audit Review Subcommittee. An information report in Tab D outlined current operating procedures of the Audit Review Subcommittee, and attached a copy of the agenda for the meeting of the Subcommittee held March 19, 1984.

Curriculum, Roles, and Vocational Education Committee Nursing Education Ad Hoc Advisory Committee. In response to the directive at the February Board meeting to establish a Nursing Education Ad Hoc Advisory Committee, Tab E contained a suggested list of individuals to serve on the Committee, together with a draft of bylaws. Curriculum and Roles Committee Chair Reba L. Keele offered a motion to approve the Nursing Education Ad Hoc Advisory Committee membership, with one amendment, and to approve the bylaws as presented. Regent Wright seconded and also made it known that the Curriculum and Roles Committee recommended that the Nursing Education Ad Hoc Advisory Committee provide for student input as feasible. Chairman Keele incorporated this understanding into the motion, which was then adopted by unanimous vote. The membership of the Nursing Education Ad Hoc Advisory Committee follows: Nursing Educators Linda Amos, Dean, College of Nursing, University of Utah Gerri Hansen, Nursing Program Coordinator, School of Allied Health, Weber State College Elaine Dyer, Dean, College of Nursing, Jean Smith, Nursing Director, Uintah Basin Area Vocational Center Karin Swendson, Director of Nursing, Utah Technical College/Provo Mari Lou Steffen, Dean, School of Nursing, Westminster College Peter A. Nyberg, Academic Vice President, Dixie College 184

Max S. Lowe, Academic Vice President, Utah Technical College/Salt Lake Health Professionals Gary Fames, Executive Vice President, Intermountain Health Care, or his representative Adele P. Mel son, Director, State Division of Community Health Services Wayne Ross, Administrator, Garfield Memorial Hospital Bruce Slater, Manager, State Health Planning and Policy Development University of Utah: Child Drama Minor. Chairwoman Keele reviewed the request of the University of Utah to offer a Minor in Child Drama, which is designed to meet the needs of students majoring in Early Childhood Education, Special Education, Therapeutic Recreation, and Middle School Education. The program would be offered through the Department of Theatre in conjunction with the Graduate School of Education. No additional funds are requested to implement this program. No major is offered at the University of Utah in Child Drama, and, consequently, the program would be considered an "orphan" minor, and responsibility would be assigned to specific faculty to oversee its operation and maintain its standards. Chairwoman Keele offered a motion to approve the Minor in Child Drama at the University of Utah, Regent Brockbank seconded, and the motion was adopted by unanimous vote. Policies and Procedures for Academic Affairs Program Review Section. The Program Review section of the State Board of Regents Policies and Procedures Manual, which was submitted for review in February, had been revised and resubmitted for Board approval. See Tab G. Chairwoman Keele reported that the Committee had reviewed the policy carefully and suggested a further change in language in Section 3101 dealing with Program Additions, Deletions, or Changes Requiring Board Approval. All program additions would be required to come to the Board of Regents for approval; however, deletions would not be required to come to the Board. In discussion, however, it was the consensus that notice of all program deletions should be given the Board and placed on the Consent Calendar where any deletion could be debated on request of a member. It was felt this would offer adequate protection. Regent Snow noted that program deletions could also be debated by the institutional council, which the Curriculum and Roles Committee felt was the appropriate body. Chairwoman Keele said the Committee wished to defer approval of Section 3304, Low-Producing Programs, to the April meeting. Chairwoman Keele moved adoption of the Program Review section with the above amendments, Regent Snow seconded, and the motion was unanimously adopted, 185

Vocational-Technical Education Section. This section of the SBR Policies and Procedures Manual was presented in Tab H for the Regents' review and submission of any suggested changes to the Office of the Commissioner prior to April 4. It will be submitted for approval, as revised, at the April Board meeting. Utah Technical College at Provo: Change of Program Title—from Retail Management to Sales/Retailing Management^ Chairwoman Keele said the request of Utah Technical College/Provo-Orem involved some policy issues, and it was recommended that the institution further evaluate the title for its one-year offering in this program area and that it designate the CIP Codes to be used for each program-level offering and thereby provide further clarification of the intents of the program. Utah State University: Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics. A nonaction report on the request of Utah State University to offer a graduate program leading to the Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematical Sciences was presented in Tab J of the agenda. Chairwoman Keele said the request involved several implications that should be studied carefully and answered by Utah State University before action at the April Board meeting. President Peterson stated for the record that the University of Utah supported the program. Chairwoman Keele was excused from the meeting at 11:20 a.m., following her report.

Master Planning and Governance Committee Liaison Committee Meeting of March 12, 1984. Committee Chairman Hoi brook referred to the minutes of the meeting of the Liaison Committee of the State Board of Regents and State Board of Education, held March 12, 1984, with recommendations that the Regents endorse the Liaison Committee actions in the following areas: Local Liaison Committees at Area Vocational Centers. Chairman Hoi brook offered a motion that the Regents support the concept of developing local liaison committees at each of the area vocational centers to coordinate educational planning and shared use of facilities between the AVCs and higher education institutions as well as to provide communication linkage with local private industry councils (PICs). Regent Blackham seconded the motion and it was unanimously adopted. Joint Evaluation of Associate of Science Degree Programs at the Technical Colleges. On motion of Chairman Hoi brook, seconded by Regent Blackham, the Board of Regents unanimously endorsed the Liaison Committee action in requesting staff of the two state boards to conduct a joint evaluation this fall of the Associate of Science degree programs at Utah Technical College/Salt Lake and Utah Technical College/Provo, so that a bill might be prepared for consideration of the Legislature during its regular session in January, 1985. 186

Concurrent Enrollment Policy. On motion of Chairman Hoi brook, seconded by Regent Blackham, the Board endorsed the Liaison Committee action to direct staff of the two boards to develop procedures and budget policies that can be incorporated into a concurrent enrollment policy for consideration of the Liaison Committee and two state boards allowing high school students improved opportunity to benefit from both high school and college-level instruction at the same time. Constitutional Revision Commission Report: Education Article. The Regents had opportunity to review the Education Article section of the report of the Constitutional Revision Commission, dealing with the structure and governance of education in Utah. See Tab L. Specifically, page 53 of the report presented the following proposed language of Sections 3 and 4 of Article X: "Sec. 3. The General control and supervision of the public education system shall be vested in the State Board of Education. The membership of the board shall be established and elected as provided by statute. The State Board of Education shall appoint a State Superintendent of Public Instruction who shall be the executive officer of the board. "Sec. 4. The general control and supervision of the higher education system shall be vested in a State Board of Regents. The membership of the board shall be established and selected as provided by statute. All rights, immunities, franchises, and endowments originally established or recognized by the constitution for any public university or college are hereby confirmed." Chairman Hoi brook offered a motion that the Regents reaffirm their previous position in support of the new Education Article revision proposed by the Constitutional Revision Commission, and that the Commissioner of Higher Education be directed to speak in behalf of this position at the upcoming Special Session of the State Legislature (scheduled to convene March 26, 1984). Regent Blackham seconded the motion and it was unanimously adopted. It was suggested that various Regents could also be a resource to the Legislature on this subject. Restoration of Northern Utah Microwave System (Department of Transportation/Department of Public Safety Power Line to Logan Peak). Chairman Holbrook offered a motion, seconded by Regent Buckner and unanimously adopted, to add to the agenda an item relating to the effort to restore the Northern Utah microwave system linking Utah State University, Weber State College, and the University of Utah. At the February meeting, the Board of Regents approved in concept a lease-purchase proposal to be developed for this restoration, and authorized the Commissioner's Office to work in close cooperation with interested agencies and institutions. (See Minutes, page 162.) 187

Chairman Hoi brook then explained that personnel in the Department of Transportation/Department of Public Safety anticipate including in their disaster package for the Special Session of the Legislature on March 26, 1984, a request for $150,000 to construct the power line needed for the new telecommunications site on Logan Peak. This would include construction of a small building at the peak site. DOT/DPS justifies the power line as being crucial to the disaster communication network. If the Legislature were to grant the request, it would reduce by $150,000 the amount necessary to be raised for the broadband system through the certificate of participation bonding approach approved at the February Board of Regents meeting, which would result in reducing by almost two years the participants' commitment to the bond payoff program. Chairman Hoi brook offered a motion that the Board of Regents go on record in support of the DOT/DPS request for construction of the power line to Logan Peak, and request the Commissioner to speak in behalf of this position at the Special Session of the Legislature. Regent Taggart seconded the motion and it was unanimously adopted. Regents Retreat. Chairman Hoi brook said it had been difficult determining the schedule for the retreat in connection with the April 17 Board meeting at Dixie College, because of the statewide political mass meetings scheduled on April 16. After considering the possibilities, it was recommended by the Master Planning and Governance Committee that the Board meeting and retreat both be held April 17, with the regular meeting occupying the morning hours and the retreat the afternoon hours. The Chairman called attention to a list of potential issues to be discussed during the retreat, each focusing on the general theme of improving productivity while maintaining or enhancing quality. He will decide the final list, within time constraints, and Commissioner Van Alstyne and Associate Commissioner Carpenter will prepare and send to each Regent, substantially in advance of the retreat, background materials that will be helpful in preparing for these discussion itarns. Commissioner Van Alstyne clarified that the planning intent is to request that attendance at the retreat be generally limited to the Regents, the president only of each institution, invited staff of the Commissioner's Office, and the press, although he noted that under the Open Public Meeting Law, the meeting will necessarily be open to the public. National Vocationally-Related Basic Skills Conference. Chairman Holbrook announced the above-titled conference, to be held May 1, 1984, at the TriArc Motor Lodge in . It will be sponsored jointly by the State Board of Regents, State Board of Education, and the Salt Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, together with the National Center for Research in Vocational Education at the Ohio State University. 188

Capital Facilities Committee Utah Technical College at Provo/Qrem Master Plan. Committee Chair Robert L. Mewey reported that, as provided by Board policy, the Capital Facilities Committee had reviewed and approved the master plan of the Technical College. As part of the review, committee members had taken a walking tour of the Orem Campus facilities. Regents Building: Progress Report. For informational purposes, Tab 0 of the agenda contained planning guidelines for the Regents Building. The State Building Board, meeting March 19, 1984, had discussed the proposed lease participation note funding of several projects, including the Regents Building, and was planning to initiate the process for the selection of architects.
