    Senate Education Committee January 21, 2021 Blake Flanders, Ph.D. President & CEO, Kansas Board of Regents Good afternoon Chair Baumgardner and Members of the Committee. Thank you for the opportunity to appear today to provide background on the Kansas Board of Regents and our state’s system of higher education. I hope to return to your Committee in coming weeks to share our new strategic plan as well as the recommendations from the Future of Higher Education Council. Today, I will cover the highlights of our System and then plan to take your questions. Board of Regents By state law, the Kansas Board of Regents is balanced with residents of each congressional district and no more than one member from any one county. No more than five of the nine members may be from one political party. Shane Bangerter – Dodge City, 2013 Shelly Kiblinger – Cherryvale, 2019 Ann Brandau-Murguia – Kansas City, 2013 Jon Rolph – Wichita, 2019 Bill Feuerborn (Chair) – Garnett, 2014 Allen Schmidt – Hays, 2018 Cheryl Henderson-Lee – Gardner, 2019 Helen Van Etten – Topeka, 2013 Mark Hutton – Andover, 2018 Goals for Fiscal Year 2021 Helping Kansas Families 1. Improve academic program transfer by creating a systemwide general education (GE) package to align programs under a common framework that guarantees seamless transfer and evaluate the pilot program that increased the number of credit hours eligible for transfer. 2. Review the 60 low-enrollment programs at the six state universities to assess program viability and strengthen the efficiency of degree program inventories. 3. Review university, community college and technical college plans and best practices to improve college-going rates, retention rates, and graduation rates of students from underrepresented populations.

    September 3, 2015 Board of Trustees: Attached you will find Labette Community College’s 2015 Annual Report. The information comes from all areas of our College in an attempt to provide you with a comprehensive view of what we have accomplished over the past year. The report starts with our Strategic Planning process so you get an idea of the big picture, including the Core Values and Core Values Outcomes that the Board helped us to write. The last part of the report contains the timeline, organizational charts, Committee Support of Strategic Plan and ends with Highlights. Hopefully this annual comprehensive overview will serve the needs of the board. It also serves as way for us to show our transparency as required by the Higher Learning Commission. Once the annual report has been reviewed by the Board of Trustees, the information will be shared with all Labette Community College employees and adjunct instructors. Finally, this Annual Report is a testament to the outstanding works of all our faculty, staff, and administration. I know you will be as pleased as I am with our results. Sincerely, George C. Knox, Ed.D. President President’s Vision Labette Community College 5 Year Vision FY 2016-2020 PREFACE As always there is a need to write a preface to my five-year vision. I feel it is necessary and prudent to do so in light of the fiscal situation that continues in the State as we plan our strategic direction. We have three factors that compound any decisions we make for at least the next 6-10 years.

  • This Is for Placement Only
    Senate Education Committee March 10, 2020 Blake Flanders, Ph.D. President & CEO, Kansas Board of Regents Chair Baumgardner and Members of the Committee, you had several questions during my testimony presented yesterday on HB 2515, the Promise Scholarship Program, and I provide additional clarification below. Qualifying Institutions Senator Rucker asked for clarification on which institutions would qualify to participate in the program. Any of the 26 public community and technical colleges would qualify, as would those Kansas private independent institutions that offer certificate or associate degree programs. Allen Community College Seward County Community College Barton Community College Flint Hills Technical College Butler Community College Manhattan Area Technical College Cloud County Community College North Central Kansas Technical College Coffeyville Community College Northwest Kansas Technical College Colby Community College Salina Area Technical College Cowley Community College Washburn Institute of Technology Dodge City Community College WSU Campus of Applied Sciences and Fort Scott Community College Technology Garden City Community College Baker University Highland Community College Barclay College Hutchinson Community College Central Christian College of Kansas Independence Community College Donnelly College Johnson County Community College Hesston College Kansas City Kansas Community College Manhattan Christian College Labette Community College MidAmerica Nazarene University Neosho County Community College Ottawa University Pratt Community College Southwestern College Repayment of Scholarships Senator Sykes had a question on the extent to which persons who received awards through our service scholarship programs went into repayment status or who elected to repay the award, rather than meet the service requirements. A variety of circumstances can influence why someone who has entered into a service scholarship agreement might elect to pay the indebtedness in lieu of meeting the service obligation.

  • Kansas Contract User List 2016-2017
    Kansas Contract Usage 2016-2017 MHEC CONTRACTS leverage the potential volume of the region’s purchasing power, while saving entities time and money by simplifying the procurement process and negating the need to conduct a competitive sourcing event. By offering a turnkey solution with the ability to tailor the already negotiated contract to match the entity’s specific needs and2 requirements,0162017 MHEC contracts shift some of the negotiating power back to the entities. Additionally, because of MHEC’s statutory status, many of these contracts can also be adopted for use by K-12 districts and schools, as well as cities, states and local governments. Smaller institutions benefit from these contracts as they allow these institutions to receive some pricing and terms normally reserved for larger institutions. Committee members participate in the negotiations, sharing strategies, and tactics on dealing with specific contractual issues and vendors.
