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 United States 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

  • Making Institutional Repositories Work “Making Institutional Repositories Work Sums It up Very Well
    Making Institutional Repositories Work “Making Institutional Repositories Work sums it up very well. This book, the first of its kind, explains how IRs work and how to get the greatest re- sults from them. As many of us know, numerous IRs launched with high hopes have in fact languished with lackluster results. Faculty have little in- terest, and administrators see little promise. But the many chapter authors of this very well edited book have made their IRs successful, and here they share their techniques and successes. This is a necessary book for anyone contemplating starting an IR or looking to resurrect a moribund one.” — Richard W. Clement Dean, College of University Libraries & Learning Sciences University of New Mexico “This volume presents an interesting cross-section of approaches to in- stitutional repositories in the United States. Just about every view and its opposite makes an appearance. Readers will be able to draw their own con- clusions, depending on what they see as the primary purpose of IRs.” — Stevan Harnad Professor, University of Québec at Montréal & University of Southampton “Approaching this volume as one of ‘those of us who have been furiously working to cultivate thriving repositories,’ I am very excited about what this text represents. It is a broad compilation featuring the best and brightest writing on all the topics I’ve struggled to understand around re- positories, and it also marks a point when repository management and de- velopment is looking more and more like a core piece of research library work. Callicott, Scherer, and Wesolek have pulled together all the things I wished I’d been able to read in my first year as a scholarly communication librarian.

For the 1968-69 academic year, a pilot project was established fiir 16 students.This project ok educational audiology was designed to explore the educational resources of USU, compare hard-of-hearing and hearing students, and compare hard-of-hearing students at USU and Gallaudet College. An analysis was also made of course features and classroom acoustics that facilitated learning. Experience with the program showed that it was feasible to develop an institute for the hard of hearing.at a regular university, and that administrative, faculty, and student sources were available to help with the pilot project.

  • Honoring Leonard Arrington
    Honoring Leonard Arrington Stanford Cazier How DOES ONE CAPTURE LEONARD ARRINGTON? It is a pleasure to attempt, but certainly no easy task. I see Leonard as scientists see nature: in four dimensions. But just as scientists are now discovering and exploring the fifth dimension and beyond, my portrait of Leonard will be incomplete. First, I see Leonard, the Man; the gentle and kindly optimist. Second, there is Leonard, the Scholar; the indefatigable producer of articles and books, the exemplar of the mind in action. Third, there is Leonard, the Mentor; the friend of would- be scholars, the source of steady encouragement, the reservoir of ideas to be explored. And finally, there is Leonard, the Institution; the standard-bearer of an era, the entrepreneur of a genre that some refer to as the New Mormon History. Leonard, the Man, charges the atmosphere of every encounter with the energy of his personality but never offends. Even in moments of triumph, he does not raise his arms in victory but stands aside in unassuming modesty. He insists on sharing any accrued glory with others, with his "team." Many have been lifted by his buoyancy, his resilience, and his steadiness. His constant friendship is predictable, genuine to the core. His concern for others, his good will, his careful avoidance of self-pity are well known. I have known Leonard for more than a quarter of a century, and I have never seen him upset over any personal abuse or slight. If he has dis- played righteous indignation, it has always been in behalf of a colleague who might have been misinterpreted or misrepresented, or in defense of a moral issue.
