He reported that we had a break-even year. The Board discussed whether our short term investments were subject to the limitations on liability of $200,000 for FDIC insured entities. Mr. Mauermeyer replied that the limits would not be applicable, as these investments are trust agreements, not assets of the bank. He also noted that there are not a lot of options available for investment of working capital at this time.

12. Board Member Cistaro reported on Gifts and Fund Raising Activities. Overall, we are down in donors and dollars, reHecting national trends at this time. However, Vice President Dees noted that our donors are faithful, and alumni dollars are up, despite a national decrease. We had a repeat of an anonymous gift, this year in the amount of $314,000. We've submitted requests to foundation; there is a 9% drop in foundation giving nationally. With respect to friends of the university, we've made 100% more visits than last year, and are making aggressive efforts to cultivate gifts. There is a $1.7 million dollar gift from Julia Murowski. There is currently still some residual difficulty in fundraising attributable to the ongoing litigation with the former alumni association. We've been successful with payments from pledges from the Honors College and Athletics campaigns. The President and Dr. Dees have been involved in some significant asks. Currently we have a commitment of $300,000, and two outstanding asks of $250,000. Vincent Naimoli, one of our distinguished alumni has increased his commitments. It should be kept in mind that in 2008 we raised more money than we had in NJIT history. Dr. Dees concluded that we know the challenge ahead and we are up to it.

13. The Board then discussed the upcoming Board retreat, which will be in the afternoon immediately following the September 16th Board meeting.

14. The Chairperson announced that the next scheduled closed session would be convened on Thursday, September 16,2010, at 9:30 AM, at Eberhardt Hall Alumni Center Board Room, to discuss personnel, real estate and contract matters.

Objectives page 2 Need page 2-4 Students page 5 Program Resources page 5-7 Curriculum page 8-10 Descriptive Information

I. Objectives

Briefly summarize the program and indicate its objectives; e.g., the nature and focus of the program, the knowledge and skills students will acquire, any cooperative arrangements with other institutions or external agencies in offering this program, etc.

The Department of Physics at NJIT proposes a Bachelor of Science degree in Biophysics. It is an interdisciplinary field that derives knowledge from several disciplines that include chemistry, biology, engineering, physics, and computer science. We chose the name based on the usage of the most prominent international research society in this field, the Biophysical Society. Since our proposal is complementary to that made recently by the Chemistry and Environmental Science Department for a degree program in Biochemistry, this proposal will follow the terminology of that proposal. The objective of our proposed program is to present the theoretical fundamentals and laboratory skills necessary to understand the physics of life processes. Biophysics focuses primarily on a number of topics: (l) the energetic and three-dimensional structures of biological molecules, (2) biological molecule interactions with each other, (3) cellular synthesis and degradation of biological molecules, (4) cellular energy conservation and use, (5) mechanisms for controlling and organizing biological molecules for cellular activities, (6) mechanism for storage, transmission and expression of genetic information, and the physics of devices with medical applications.

II. Need

A. Need for the Program - Provide justification of the need for this program.

The proposed B.S. in Biophysics is designed to provide theoretical background and experimental training. The NJIT Biology and Biomedical Engineering programs have experienced tremendous growth since their inceptions, which demonstrates clearly the interest for biology and biology-related programs. Our proposed program utilizes physics as a foundation and integrates biology-related topics that include medical devices, cellular electronics, genetic engineering, microbiology, molecular biology and radiology. The program allows flexibility to pursue diverse career opportunities. It offers an excellent preparation for professional fields such as medicine, patent law, medical technology, secondary school teaching, and medical physics as traditionally defined in radiology and imaging. Furthermore, it is the foundation of further graduate studies, such as NJIT's new PhD opportunities in topics related to Biophysics. We emphasize that biophysics is the basis of the ever­ expanding field of biotechnology and nano-biology.

B. Describe the relationship of the program to the following: institutional master plans and priorities. The long-term vision of the College of Science and Liberal Arts is to promote a bioscience theme and the proposed B.S. in Biophysics facilitates this objective. Furthermore, the Department of Physics has been motivated to hire new faculty who interface with biology, facilitating the goals of NJIT. Appointments include two faculty members in physics and several people in the related departments of Biology, mathematical Biology and a number in the closely related Chemistry department, including Biochemistry, Bioinorganic Chemistry, Microbiology, and Bioorganic Chemistry. Senior faculty with related research interests includes those in Computer­ Aided Drug Design and Pharmaceutical Analysis. We look forward to continuing our strong interactions in Biomedical Engineering, particularly through physics faculty who have collaborated with members of the BME department and served on service committees relating to the BME graduate program.

The program also supports NJIT's stated missions: (1) to prepare students for productive careers and enhance their potential for lifelong personal and professional growth and (2) to prepare students in the conduct of interdisciplinary research.

c. List similar programs within the state and in neigbboring states. How does this program compare to those currently being offered?

Biophysics is one of the new sub-disciplines of physics. Hence, no undergraduate biophysics degree programs are present in the New Jersey area to the best of our knowledge to which the proposed program is comparable. NJIT is New Jersey's Science and Technology University, which provides a unique atmosphere and educational opportunities that are not offered at the other universities found in the vicinity. Furthermore, it should be noted that an undergraduate Biophysics major is currently not offered in the joint Rutgers-Newark/NJIT programs.

Biophysics programs in New Jersey: There are none. The related programs, mostly covering complementary subjects are spelled out below:

Bloomfield College: Major in Biology with concentrations in General Biology, Environmental Studies, Pre-Chiropractic Studies, Pre-Podiatry Studies and Pre-Medical, but no Biophysics or physics.

College of St. Elizabeth:

Majors in Biology, Applied science, Clinical Laboratory Science, and Physician­ assisted dual degree, but no Biophysics or Physics

Drew University: Majors in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Biology, Biological Anthropology, Environmental Studies, Neuroscience, Public Health, Pre-medicine and Physics, but no Biophysics. Fairleigh Dickinson University: Majors in Biology, Biotechnology, Bio-Environmental Science, and Science, but no Physics or Biophysics.

Montclair State University: Bioinformatics, Environmental Science Biology, Science, Technology and Society, Molecular Biology, and Physics, but no Biophysics.

Ramapo College: Integrated Science Studies (chemistry, physics, biology geology, ecology, environmental science, and mathematics), but no separate Physics or Biophysics degree programs

Rider University: Biochemistry, Biology, Behavioral Neuroscience, Integrated Sciences (for middle school teachers), Environmental Science, Geoscience, Mathematics, Science for Business, but no Physics or Biophysics.

The Richard Stockton College ofNew Jersey: Applied Physics, Biochemistry, Energy Studies, Chemistry, Environmental Studies, Geology, Marine Science, Mathematics, Preparation for Health Professionals, but no Biophysics.

III. Students Estimate anticipated enrollments from the program's inception until a steady state or optimum enrollment is reached.

The estimated anticipated enrollment from the program's inception is to be approximately five and eventually reaching a steady state ofthirty. It is expected that this program will attract excellent students who desire to be at a technology-oriented university. This program is expected to draw students who are interested in attending professional schools or being an active contributor in the biotechnology or biomedical industries, in medical research, in patent law, in teaching and in scientific policy.

IV. Resources to Support the Program

Briefly describe the additional resources needed to implement and operate the program during the program's first five years, e.g., the number of full-time faculty, number of adjunct faculty, computer equipment, print and non-print material, etc.

A. Course Development: The physics department has offered all of the key courses on an initial basis.

For the degree program we will need small amounts of money as indicated and availability of faculty to upgrade and teach the courses below. Our students will benefit from supplemental courses in Biology, Mathematics and Particularly Biochemistry, which will offer a new Biochemistry degree program including the courses: Biochemistry Laboratory (Chemistry 475 Biochemistry Lab I, with fundamental laboratory approaches for biochemistry and biotechnology), Biochemistry I and II (Chemistry 473 and 4xx on protein composition and structure, understanding proteins, nucleic acids and the flow of genetic information, exploring genes and genomes, evolution and bioinformatics, hemoglobin, enzymology, regulatory strategies, carbohydrates, lipids, membrane channels, and signal transduction, transducing and storing energy, synthesizing the molecules of life, and responses to environmental changes), Biophysical Chemistry (Chemistry 4xx on the physical and chemical behavior ofbiomolecules from a quantitative perspective emphasizing applications and problem solving. Approximately half the course will focus on understanding biochemical reactions, structures and reactivity from a thermodynamic and kinetic perspective. The other half of the course will consider selected topics from biochemical applications of spectroscopy, crystallography and separations science).

B. Faculty The Physics Department has two faculty members who will support the program. They both have taught the initial course offerings in biophysics. There are also university lecturers in the Physics Department who are capable of teaching in the program. In addition, we will pursue adjuncts from industry to supplement our existing teaching resources. The departmental strategic plan calls for additional faculty in this area as the enrollment in the program grows. C. Libraries and Computing Facilities

Library NJIT's Van Houten Library has over 160,000 books and subscribes to more than 1,000 printed periodicals. It also has access to over 15,000 online journals. The library, through SCOPUS and other databases, provides connectivity to wide variety of information services. However, we would like to see the addition of speedy access to Biophysics books and journals.

Books Approximately $1,000 - $2,000 per year is needed to update Biophysics related books, but we could start the program with simple improved access.

Journals The following journals will be required to support undergraduate instruction and research. It should be noted that some of the journals listed are available at the Rutgers­ Newark library.

Highly Recommended: The Biophysics Journal, Journal ofMolecular Biology, Molecular Cell, Journal ofRoyal Society Interface, Annual Review of Biophysics Science & Bio-molecular Structure, and Medical Equipment Insights.

Computing Facilities

The computer facilities at NJIT are adequate for the proposed program. The Information Services and Technology (1ST) Division provides a full range of central information technology services to support the university's academic, research, student service, administrative, and public services initiatives. The Associate Provost for Information Services & Technology and Chief Information Officer oversees five functional departments: (1) Academic Computing Services, (2) Computer Operations and Production Service, (3) Telecommunications and Networks, (4) University Computing Systems, and (5) University Information Systems. 1ST partners with several other university organizational units: Instructional Technology and Media Services, University Web Services, and the Van Houten Library. Collaboratively, these organizations provide a seamless and robust information resource and technology infrastructure for all NJIT students, faculty, staff, researchers, and alumni. As one of the most computing-intensive campuses in the country, NJIT has long been recognized as a pioneer in the use of information technologies.

Highlander AFS is the primary academic computing environment at NJIT. Highlander AFS, NJiT's implementation of the Andrew File System CAFS) is a distributed computing environment comprised of multiple file and database servers and several hundred Unix, Windows, Linux, and Macintosh client computers. Highlander AFS provides a very broad spectrum of both commercial and open source application software, compilers, and utilities. A great number of applications and compilers are available on Highlander AFS. Highlander AFS is a distributed file system consisting of Linux, IRIX and Solaris UNIX operating environments. Software types include desktop publishing, plotting, animation, and statistical analysis. NJIT supports generalized software relevant to the proposed program, such as Excel, Mathematica, Microsoft Office, ChemDraw, as well as specialzed software (Gaussian, Sybyl, Spartan, Amber, Autodock, Macromodel, NAMD, and 3DNA) used in computer-aided drug design and biochemical applications.

As New Jersey's Science and Technology University, NJIT has developed a local cyber­ infrastructure well positioned to allow NJIT faculty and students to collaborate at local, national, and global levels on many issues at the forefront of science and engineering research. High performance research computing at NJIT is being facilitated by the creation of a grid of compute clusters, some of which are used in the computer-aided drug design research carried out at NJIT.

NJIT's multi-gigabit wired network connects more than 6,500 nodes in classrooms, laboratories, residence halls, faculty and staff offices, the library, student organization offices and others. With more than 150 access points, the campus wireless network blankets the university's public, classroom and outdoor areas enabling NJIT's users' mobile connectivity. The extensive wireless network has helped to stimulate research towards the development of a wireless NJIT campus community system called SmartCampus. At NJIT, the latest advances in telecommunications and multimedia technologies are used to enhance the delivery of courses and the overall educational experience, allowing students to experience many aspects of a "virtual university" in a traditional campus setting. In addition, with connectivity to the NJEDGE, NJ state-wide higher education network and Intemet2, students have the opportunity to work closely with faculty and researchers as new families of advanced applications are developed for an increasingly networked and information-based society.

D. Classrooms and Laboratories

Classrooms The present facilities are adequate.

Laboratories The present facilities are adequate. Approximately $200-300 per year is required for repairs and upkeep for the Biophotonics Laboratory. There is routine breakage and wear. v. Curriculum - B. S. in Applied Physics - Biophysics Concentration (127 Credits)

Alan Gelperin

I recommend approval with great enthusiasm of the proposal for a new undergraduate program leading to a Bachelor of Science in Biophysics based on the following analysis of the proposal from the NJIT Department of Physics and discussions with Dr. N. M. Ravindra, Dr. Gordon Thomas, Dr. Camelia Prodan, and Dr. Reginald Farrow.

A. Objectives 1. Are the objectives of the proposed program in Biophysics clearly stated? A logical starting point is an answer to the question: What is biophysics? I reproduce here the answer to this question given by the Biophysical Society, as it is in my view an excellent answer to this question:

tlBiology studies life in its variety and complexity. It describes how organisms go about getting food, communicating, sensing the environment, and reproducing. On the other hand, physics looks for mathematical laws of nature and makes detailed predictions about the forces that drive idealized systems. Spanning the distance between the complexity of life and the simplicity of physical laws is the challenge of biophysics. Looking for the patterns in life and analyzing them with math and physics is a powerful way to gain insights".

The objectives and underlying principles of the proposed program of study in Biophysics housed within the Department of Physics are both sound and clearly stated. The new program of study in Biophysics aims to provide students in the program with the basic subject matter of the field, with the relevant theoretical tools for quantitative analysis of biophysical problems, and the laboratory skills needed to perform useful experimental analyses and more deeply understand the experimental literature in the field of Biophysics. It is particularly innovative that the proposal includes among its subject focus areas the study of the physics of devices with medical applications. This focus may serve to distinguish NJIT and its Biophysics program from other programs with overlapping goals.

2. Is the proposed program consistent with NJIT's mission and educational goals? If NJIT truly has a commitment to strengthening its programs in Life Sciences and in Engineering and Health Care Sciences, as explicitly stated in its Strategic Goals, then an expanded and formalized program in Biophysics would seem to be a very logical way to accomplish this goal. Part of NJIT's Mission Statement is to tlAdvance the use of technology as a means to improving the quality of life." This is an admirable goal. Strengthening the field of Biophysics within the Department of Physics would seem to be fully consistent with this component of NJIT's stated mission.

B. Need for the Program

1 1. Assess the need for the proposed new program and the employment prospects for graduates of the proposed new program. Student interest at NJIT in the proposed new degree program in Biophysics can perhaps best be judged by the significant growth of student interest in the programs of the NJIT Biology Department and the NJIT Biomedical Engineering Department. NJIT students are responding to the explosion of interest in biology and the physical disciplines that interface with it, particularly physics, chemistry, mathematics, and computer science. Dr. Farzan Nadim, a joint appointment in NJIT's Departments of Biology and Mathematics, is just one prominent example of the talented people doing creative research at the interface between Biology and Mathematics at NJIT. Creative teacher-scholars like the four members of the Physics Department mentioned above provide compelling examples of the interdisciplinary work in the field of Biophysics. Opportunities for advanced study in Biophysics abound, as indicated by the list of over thirty graduate programs in Biophysics maintained by the Biophysical Society on their web site. This list of graduate programs in Biophysics does not pretend to be complete, but does provide a resource for undergraduate students starting their exploration of possible programs for graduate study in Biophysics. The Biophysical Society also makes available online a free 20 page booklet entitled "Careers in Biophysics", in addition to freely available job listings and an extensive list of free articles on aspects of a career in Biophysics, including a two part article entitled "Spotlight Industry". Similarly, the American Institute of Physics has a freely available listing of jobs in Biophysics, which on 7/27/2010 had 188 entries. Of particular relevance to this issue of employment opportunities for students with training in Biophysics is the observation that two industries with particularly strong representations in New Jersey, the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, provide significant employment opportunities for students with training in Biophysics.

2. A. Do market surveys indicate a high level of student demand so as to justify the creation of a Bachelor of Science program in Biophysics? In the absence of a market survey directly addressing this question we can be guided by student interest in other directly related NJI courses, as outlined above. B. Do employment projections indicate significant job opportunities in the region and the State so as to justify the creation of a Bachelor of Science program in Biophysics? One way to approach the answer to this question is to use public databases of job opportunities in the relevant category. For example, searching one job listing (Career Rover: www.careerrover.com) with the term Biophysics as the job description and with the location restricted to New Jersey yielded 125 hits. Searching with the same terms on a site specializing in technical jobs, called SimplyHired (http://www.simplyhired.com) results in more than 50 hits in New Jersey. These results cannot be taken too quantitatively as some of these posted jobs are undoubtedly inappropriate for recent graduates with a B.S. degree in Biophysics but in a tight job market they can give some reassurance of the availability of job opportunities for students trained in Biophysics.

2 C. Educational Programs 1. Will the distribution and nature of the required courses and electives meet the objectives of the program? The proposed curriculum for the Biophysics degree program is very rigorous and is intended to give firm grounding in physics and the companion cognate sciences such as chemistry, mathematics, statistics, biology, and biochemistry and neurobiology. A year of Biophysics is included in the senior year (Physics 350 and 451) but students will receive an introduction to topics in Biophysics early in their course of study for the Biophysics degree to whet their appetites for the material to come. The diversity and distribution of courses in Physics and other sciences that interface strongly with Physics and contribute strongly to the field of Biophysics are fully comparable to other programs with which I am familiar.

2. Are the instructional modes and credit distribution consistent with the objectives of the curriculum? The descriptions of current courses forming the heart of the proposed curriculum make clear that the instructional mode of lectures supplemented with online material and lecture demonstrations is entirely appropriate for coverage of the material. This applies specifically to Physics 350 (Biophysics I), Physics 451 (Biophysics II), apSE 301 (Introduction to optical Science and Engineering) and apSE 410 (Biophotonics). I have no information on the credit distribution associated with the courses in the proposed curriculum.

3. Is the proposed curriculum suitable preparation for professional study in Biophysics? This is clearly the case.

4. Does the curriculum meet certification or accreditation standards in Biophysics? Yes.

5. Are the requirements for admission to the program clearly stated and appropriate? In general the descriptions of most of the courses in the proposal for the new curriculum clearly state the prior courses needed for admission and the level of performance required in the prerequisite courses, which is set at a level to encourage inclusiveness.

6. Are standards for completion of the program clearly stated and consistent with the objectives of the program? The proposed four-year curriculum for the B.S. degree in Biophysics includes 37 required courses and 10 electives. As the program in Biophysics matures there will no doubt emerge a matrix of permitted substitutions for some of the required courses but it would not be appropriate to deal with the details of permitted course substitutions at this stage in the evolution of the program.

7. (a) How do transfer students enter the program?

3 The Department of Physics and NJIT have routine mechanisms in place to assist transfer students to enter the program. (b) Are there articulation arrangements between the proposed program and other existing programs? The proposal makes clear that important interactions are proposed with existing programs in Biochemistry, Bioinorganic Chemistry, Computer-Aided Drug Design, Pharmaceutical Analysis, and Microbiology based in the Department of Chemistry and Environmental Science, and that strong interactions will continue with programs in Biomedical Engineering through the research and teaching activities of faculty in Physics and the Interdisciplinary Program in Materials Science and Engineering.

8. Will other academic units within the University provide educational services to the program? Yes; The Departments of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biomedical Engineering will provide educational services to the Program.

9. Does the program have a clinical component? NJA

D. Students 1. What is the percentage of part-time students projected for the program? Initially about 10%; the number is anticipated to grow over the years depending on the economy.

2. What are the provisions made to ensure inclusion of women and minorities in the program? The fact that the core faculty of the proposed Biophysics program includes women and minorities suggests that this issue will be more than adequately addressed. These core faculty members provide powerful role models for successful careers in Biophysics attained by women and minorities.

3. How will counseling and advisement be provided to students in the program? Faculty in the Physics Department will provide the required counseling and advisement.

E. Faculty 1. Are the academic credentials of the core faculty in the program appropriate? NIIT is extremely fortunate to have Dr. Gordon Thomas, Dr. Camelia Prodan and Dr. Reginald Farrow as core faculty in the proposed Biophysics program. They are absolutely outstanding teacher-scholars expressing the highest standards of rigor and creativity in their research and in their teaching. A major strength of the proposal for the new program in Biophysics is quality of the faculty forming the core of the proposed new program.

4 2. Are the faculty's research, teaching, scholarship, and community service appropriate to the discipline of Biophysics? It is precisely because the core faculty listed above share common interests and research activities in Biophysics that this proposal has been brought forward. Their motivation to enhance the level of student participation and faculty activity in Biophysics motivates their collaboration to propose a new B.S. degree in Biophysics. They are absolutely the most appropriate faculty at NJIT to anchor this proposed new program.

3. Is the nUluber offaculty and the amount of time to be devoted by each to the program adequate to ensure a program of high quality? The number of core faculty currently available (3) is adequate to launch the new program but is not adequate to sustain the new program in steady state. They must have at least one more colleague in Biophysics to sustain the new Biophysics program. Two suggestions for areas to be represented by the new faculty that are complementary to existing research areas are included in the proposal. A separate detailed proposal from the Department of Physics entitled "Proposal for a search for a Biophysics faculty member" dated October 2009 presents a very complete and cogently reasoned case for hiring an additional faculty mernber in Biophysics.

F. Support Personnel 1. Are current levels of support personnel adequate to sustain the new program? Yes; but the program can benefit by hiring additional faculty.

G. Finances 1. Has the institution committed the necessary resources for the program? The administration expects to commit faculty linejs in Biophysics in the next fiscal year. Student enrollment in Biophysics is anticipated to grow over the years.

2. Does the program need significant additional support from the State of New Jersey? No.

H. Physical Facilities 1. Are adequate laboratories and equipment for the program available? There exist adequate facilities and equipment to launch the program but not to sustain the program in steady state. The new Biophysics program will need a core laboratory facility to provide both laboratory components of core Biophysics courses and to provide research opportunities for advanced students in the program. Suitable space will need to be found for the Biophysics core laboratory and funds raised for both the renovation of the laboratory space and purchase of equipment needed to conduct measurements in laboratory components of Biophysics courses and in student research projects. The following maxim from Confucius succinctly summarizes the need for a core laboratory in Biophysics:

I hear and I forget

5 I see and I remember I do and I understand

2. Comment on the adequacy of classroom facilities Yes. With the acquisition of new classrooms in the old Central High School, NJIT is very committed to providing the classroom facilities for the new program.

3. Will an existing program at NJIT be adversely affected by diversion of resources to the proposed program in Biophysics? No. 4. Are the proposed program facilities accessible to the handicapped? The facilities for the new program are comprised of existing teaching and laboratory spaces, which fully comply with the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and any new spaces devoted to the teaching and research activities of the new Biophysics program will also conform to the requirements of the ADA; access of facilities to the handicapped students will not be an issue.

I. Library 1. Are the current library holdings adequate to sustain a Biophysics program of high quality? The proposal makes a series of specific suggestions for additions to the current holdings of the library in the area of Biophysics and its cognate scientific disciplines. It is vital that these new journals be made available for electronic access by both faculty and students in the Biophysics program. Approximately $2,000.00 must be spent to augment the library's holding of books in the area of Biophysics.

J. Computer Facilities 1. Are current computer facilities adequate to support the Biophysics program? The proposal makes clear in great detail that the computing and 1ST support currently available at NJIT are adequate for the proposed program in Biophysics.

K. Administration 1. Is the administrative structure of the new program in Biophysics clearly defined and adequate to support the new program? Yes.

2. Are the administrative and budgetary aspects of inter- or intra-institutional co­ operative arrangements supporting the new program made clear? Yes. L. Evaluation 1. How will the success or failure of the proposed new Biophysics program be evaluated? It is plausible to assume that metrics like enrollment in and successful completion of courses in the Biophysics program will be a central element in any evaluation of its success. As the program matures, the career trajectories of NIT students graduating from the Biophysics program will also be a critically important

T Response to Consultant's Report on the Proposed BS in Biophysics Department of Physics New Jersey Institute of Technology

The consultant's report on the proposed BS in Biophysics was positive, enumerating the following findings:

• The objectives are clearly stated. • The program is consistent with NJIT's mission and educational goals. • There is a need for this program both in New Jersey and nationally. • Student demand for a BS in Biophysics is high locally and nationally, and the creation of such a program is justified. • Required courses and instructional modes meet program and curriculum objectives. • The proposed curriculum meets certification and accreditation standards in Biophysics. • Requirements for admission to the program are clearly stated and appropriate. • Standards for completion ofthe program are clearly stated and consistent with program objectives. • There are routine mechanisms to assist transfer students to enter the program. • There is interdepartmental cooperation and participation in the program. • Provisions are in place to ensure inclusion of women and minorities in the program. • Required counseling and advisement is adequately provided. • The faculty's research, teaching, scholarship and community service was noted, stating "They are absolutely the most appropriate faculty at NJIT to anchor this proposed new program." • Classroom facilities are adequate. • Proposed program facilities are accessible to the handicapped. • Current computer facilities are adequate. • The administrative structure is clearly defined and adequate.

The following concerns were noted:

• The number of core faculty currently available (3) is adequate to launch the new program but is not adequate to sustain the new program in steady state; the program can benefit by hiring additional faculty. Student enrollment in Biophysics is expected to grow.

Weare confident that the core Biophysics faculty can achieve the start-up of the program. They will also be supported by other physics faculty with relevant interest and credentials. We will also pursue adjuncts from industry to supplement our existing teaching resources in the short term. Indeed, we expect that enrollment in the Biophysics program will grow in the future and thus justify the need for additional faculty. The College of Science and Liberal Arts is currently constructing a three-year academic plan in which the need for one additional trained Biophysicist is noted for the short term and, depending on enrollment, another one soon after.

• The new Biophysics program will need a core laboratory facility to provide both laboratory components of core Biophysics courses and to provide research opportunities for advanced students in the program.

The present laboratory facilities are adequate for the program's initiation. Here too, the College of Science and Liberal Arts has made yearly investment in our science instructional laboratories and is expected to continue to do so in support of this program. In order to sustain the expected growth, additional facilities for both course instruction and for student research will be added. In addition, budget for routine breakage and maintenance of equipment is made available to the department.

• It is vital new journals be made available for electronic access by both faculty and students. In addition, approximately $2000.00 must be spent to augment the library's holdings of books in the area of Biophysics.

NJIT's Van Houten Library has over 160,000 books and subscribes to more than 1,000 printed periodicals. It also has access to over 15,000 online journals. The library, through SCOPUS and other databases, provides connectivity to a wide variety of information services. However, it is necessary to provide access to the most important Biophysics journals and increase the library's acquisition of books relating to Biophysics. The library presently has a budget to add essential additional books, and the department will work with the library's management to insure the necessary books and journals are available.

• Regarding evaluation of the program, it is clear that an administrative mechanism will be needed to maintain contact with graduates of the program to provide reliable and quantitative information on their post-graduation choices of employment or further study.

The Physics Department has mechanisms in place to track student performance within the program and will coordinate closely with the Office of Institutional Research to enhance its internal evaluation capabilities. As the program matures, a graduate tracking system will be developed to assess the post-graduation outcomes for students who complete the Biophysics program. Alan Gelperin, Ph.D.

Revised 5/97 4E. Approve Resolution to Authorizng Exclusive Intellectual Property License with Intellectual Ventures (IV) STATEMENT OF INFORMATION FOR EXCLUSIVE LICENSE OF NJIT INVENTION DISCLOSURES September 16, 2010

Introduction

As part of its Intellectual Property (niP") Program, NJIT assesses the commercial value of its Intellectual Property to determine the most appropriate avenue to achieve a return on its investment. Options include the exclusive licensing of Intellectual Property.

A subsidiary of Intellectual Ventures ("IV"), has expressed interest in acquiring an exclusive license to the NJIT Invention Disclosure listed below for the life of each patent issued by the USPTO and/or foreign jurisdiction.

As the exclusive license of the Invention Disclosures and patent applications derived therefrom for the life of the patent essentially represents a disposition of NJIT property, the Board of Trustees is being asked to approve the same. A Resolution has been prepared for consideration.

Background ofIntellectual Ventures

IV is a private company founded in 2000 by Nathan Myhrvold and Edward Jung, both former executives of Microsoft. The purpose of the company is to invest in innovations and technologies across a broad spectrum of industries (i.e., technology, biotechnology, consumer electronics, nanotechnology and others). IV has also acquired inventions and related IP from a combination of individual inventors, government agencies, and universities. IV's business plan is to group all acquired patents into clusters of like technology and then license the patents to potential users and/or infringers of each technology cluster. The goal is to derive more value than is likely to be attained from the licensing of any individual patent.

Current Licensing Offer

At its April 10, 2008 meeting the Board of Trustees authorized the execution of a one year Master Patent License Agreement, which was executed on August 15, 2008, and which has since been renewed to August 15, 2011 (automatic one year renewals after August 15, 2010).

This request is for the exclusive license of an additional Invention Disclosure with right to sublicense. IV will pay for all on-going patent prosecution costs levied by the USPTO and/or foreign jurisdictions, including issuance fees on allowed patents as well as maintenance fees that become due on any and all issued patents. If any of the patents are sublicensed to third parties, NJIT will also receive an annual royalty payment. The individual Invention Disclosure included in this seventh request under the new Master License Agreement is found below.

Methods for Scheduling WDM EPON with Tunable Lasers with Different Tuning Times (Inventors: Nirwan Ansari and JingJing Zhang) NJIT Reference Number 10-007.

After NJIT's reimbursement of associated out-of-pocket expenses, if any, the remaining net amount derived from the transaction shall be shared with the inventors pursuant to NJIT's current Patent Policy. RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE EXCLUSIVE LICENSE OF UNIVERSITY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of New Jersey Institute of Technology is empowered to direct and control the disposition of NJIT intellectual property if deemed necessary or advisable to carry out the goals of NJ IT; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees at its April 10, 2008 approved the execution of a one year Master Patent License Agreement with a subsidiary of Intellectual Ventures, which was executed on August 15, 2008 and which has since been renewed to August 15, 2011 (automatic one year renewals after August 15, 2010); and

WHEREAS, a subsequent transaction under such Master Patent License Agreement is for the exclusive licensing of certain identified NJIT Intellectual Property.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Trustees of New Jersey Institute of Technology that the proposed exclusive licensing of the Intellectual Property (Reference Number 10-007) by N..IIT is hereby approved; and

THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Board of Trustees of New Jersey Institute of Technology, that the Senior Vice President for Research & Development is hereby authorized to execute any and all agreements or documents on behalf of NJIT to consummate such licensing transactions.

Holly C. Stern, Esq. General Counsel and Secretary to the Board of Trustees New Jersey Institute of Technology

Date 5A. Board Retreat Following Meeting November 4 5R. Enrollment Update SC. Status of NJIT Campus Gateway Plan and Greek Village 5D. Positive Impact of Intercollegiate Athletics Program Some Outcomes (competing with more comparable academic institutions, enhancing campus life, and enhancing visibility) as a Result of Moving from DI to DII:

Comparable Academic Institutions • Since 2006-07, when NJIT began competing in Division I, our teams have faced opponents from 27 different states and Washington, DC.

By comparison, in our last year of Division II, our men's basketball team faced opponents from 6 states, including New Jersey. Three of the other states were contiguous to New Jersey. That year (2005-06), the women's basketball team faced opponents from 6 states, including NJ, only one opponent from Nebraska, was outside the region.

Our opponents in various sports at the Division I level have included schools that are nationally recognized in athletics, academics, or both. They include: Army, Boston College, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Lafayette, Lehigh, Marquette, Maryland, Miami (FL), Navy, Penn State, Pitt, Princeton, Rutgers, St. John's, Seton Hall, Villanova, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Washington, and Yale.

Enhancing Campus Life • In 2005-06, our final year in Division II, our men's basketball attendance totaled 1,213 for 11 home games and 3,290 for 14 away games and 2 neutral site games. The season total attendance for all games was 4,503 for an average of 167 per game (home average 126).

The following year, 2006-07, our first year in Division I competition, our home attendance for 12 games was 5,790 for an average of 482, nearly quadrupling the previous year. Our overall total was 27,272 for 29 games, an average of 940, more than 5 times the per game average the last year in Division II. The crowds at St. John's and Siena, both over 4,100, were each nearly equal to our total attendance for the entire previous season.

Attendance continued to rise in 2007-08, with home game attendance improving to 596 per game and overall attendance averaging 1,428. Four crowds surpassed 2,700, including a high of 8,655 at Washington, a one-game total that nearly doubled the entire season's attendance in Division II.

Attendance in 2008-09 returned to 2006-07 levels (442 avg, at home and 956 avg. overall)

Attendance in 2009-10 remained stable, with a slight drop at home (422 avg.) and a slight Increase overall (1,195 avg.). We played in front of 3 crowds in excess of 4,100 (Rutgers, Seton Hall, Virginia) with a high of 7,264 at Virginia.

Enhancing Visibility • Our presence in Division I provides multiple opportunities for visibility. Every time we playa Division I school, the game is reported by all media outlets that cover that program and frequently by media outlets that cover that program's opponents. For example, when we play Penn State, we receive exposure not only for playing Penn State, but the event is also of interest to followers of Big Ten sports in general. There is virtually no comparable effect below Division I. Local sports cable channels such as MSG Network, YES Network, and SNY list our scores on their bottom line crawls, as well.

In the case of men's basketball, every game in Division I is listed on ESPN's bottom line score ticker. Therefore, approx 30 times a year, that crawl is seen by millions of viewers throughout a news cycle that begins at approx 6 pm and ends the next day around 10 am. Fall 2008, two men's basketball games were televised, i.e., Monmouth was televised on Comeast Cable (NJ,PA,MD,DE.) and Penn St. on multiple outlets (cable, satellite via AT&T and Verizon nationwide).

Every Division I men's basketball game is the subject of a 200 to 300 word minimum recap that is distributed worldwide by the Associated Press. Box scores and statistics are distributed by various services, including ESPN and STATS (via AP) and ean be found on numerous print and internet outlets.

For the athletics website, data exists only from September 2008 on (when we began the ICS web site), we began with 11,645 visits and 85,392 page views in September 2008 and by September 2009 we had 23,392 visits and 130,375 page views. Not surprisingly our busiest months are September to March, a gradual decline in April and May and then low traffic in June, July and August.

Surveying the 23 months of our ICS web site, we have had at least 10,331 visits in each of the 23 months. We have had 10 months of 20,000 or more visits. We have had 4 other months of at least 19,000 visits. We have had 12 months of more than 100,000 page views. We have had 5 other months of more than 80,000 page views. Our lowest page view month was June 2010, with 44,786 views. STUDENT ATHLETES YEAR 05-06 1 06-07 T 07-08 I 08-09 I 09-10
