6. SB2003 HR Inconsistencies Ms. Grinde reviewed the SB2003 HR inconsistencies. She explained The Human Resource Council (HRC) has vetted the inconsistencies with all the other system councils. After collecting system-wide input and thorough research, the HRC recommends no changes to employee classifications. They determined employee classification is based on the scope of work on each campus and can vary in several ways depending on a variety of factors such as, size of campus, duties, etc. One campus can have several personnel in a department and a narrower scope of work versus the same department on another campus with a single staff member. The council does recommend anHRC sub committee be formed to define the following: • HRC define and agree upon standard system-wide reports, including report set- up. Suggested reports include employee turnover, vacant funded positions, eliminated positions, faculty and staff FTE reports and employee detail report. • HRC identify the definition of faculty (i.e. for reporting purposes only, what faculty positions are included in system reports) to eliminate inconsistencies with system reporting within this broadband. • HRC clarify FTE categories to include in reporting; FT/PT, benefited/non- benefited, temporary.

Summary of Proposed Action ND State Board of Higher Education Meeting – May 23, 2018
1. Issue: Proposed SBHE Academic and Student Affairs Committee.
2. Proposed actions: Approve/deny SBHE Policy 302.1 SBHE Academic and Student Affairs Committee edits.
3. Background information: At its July 2012 meeting, the SBHE established a new committee structure with an Executive Committee, Academic Affairs Committee and Audit Committee. The intent was to assign responsibility for review, studies, reports and recommendations regarding work of the SBHE to these committees.
On September 5, 2012, Chancellor Shirvani proposed three new SBHE Policies 302.10, 302.11 and 302.12 to establish the three committees and assign responsibilities to each. However, on June 20, 2013, the SBHE repealed Policies 302.10, 302.11, and 302.12, leaving the SBHE without an Executive Committee, an Academic Affairs Committee and an Audit Committee.
The draft Policy 302.1, to re-establish an Academic and Student Affairs Committee, was handed out at the November 21, 2013, but was tabled to allow for further consideration.
Dr. Sonia Cowen revised the draft policy to, among other things, expand the responsibilities of the committee to include research and strategic planning.

HISTORY: New Policy, SBHE minutes, January 26, 2017.
Summary of Proposed Action ND State Board of Higher Education Meeting – April 26, 2018
1. Issue: Policy 1202.1 Acceptable Use of Information Technology Resources Policy has been revised to more explicitly state that NDUS IT resources cannot be used to “impersonate another individual with intent to deceive or cause harm.”
2. Proposed actions: The State Board of Higher Education may choose to approve, reject, or modify the revised language.
3. Background information: The North Dakota University System is responding to a request from our Diversity Council to allow students, faculty and staff to use their chosen name in a variety of IT and documentation situations. This will have a beneficial impact to a variety of individuals who are, for legitimate reasons, using names beyond those designated on their birth certificate. To allow this use of chosen names, NDUS need to tighten up our policy to enable responsible administrators to immediately shut down accounts of individuals who are using a chosen name with the intention to deceive or cause harm.
4. Financial implications: None.
5. Legal/policy issues: All actions related to the use of chosen names have been reviewed by legal counsel and determined to be in accordance with state and federal law.
6. Academic issues: The policy revision allows NDUS institutions to match standard practices related to chosen names.
7. Coordination: This change has been thoroughly vetted by user groups, the Academic Affairs Council, Student Affairs Council, and Chief Information Officers Council.
8. Attachments: Revised version of Policy 1202.1.

Summary of Proposed Action SBHE Meeting – May 23, 2018
1. Issue: North Dakota’s 65th Legislative Assembly established a study in 2017 Senate Bill No. 2003, § 37 that states the following:
Receive a report from the State Board of Higher Education during the 2017-18 interim regarding the status of inconsistencies in employee classifications and human resources reporting, employee leave policies, practices for awarding tuition waivers, and practices regarding the charging of student fees, including policies and procedures being developed to address the inconsistencies.
The North Dakota University System’s Human Resource Council (HRC) was charged to evaluate inconsistent employee classification and human resource reporting issues and make recommendations to address the inconsistencies.
2. Proposed motion: Approve key findings and recommendations for system HR inconsistencies in employee classification and HR reporting as identified by the HRC taskforce. If approved, this information will be shared with the interim legislative higher education committee. If not approved, provide direction for next steps.
Key Findings Employee Classification: Broadbanding is an approach to job classification that places positions into job classifications based on scope of work. Broadbanding groups similar jobs together using a few, wide job bands defined by the U.S. Department of Education. Within those bands, positions with similar skill requirements are grouped into job families. Job family titles are used on all payroll records, budget personnel files and other official records. The hiring institution may assign functional titles for documents and other uses. The current broadband policy provides a solid foundation for institutions to appropriately classify NDUS employees. It shall be noted that size of institution does have an impact on broadband placement due to combined jobs on smaller campuses; therefore comparing the same titles across institutions to seek consistency is not recommended. Although the same functional title may appear in one or more bands, this is not an area of concern because broadband placement is defined by scope of work, not a job title.
HR Reporting Historically, it was determined that campuses own their data, not the system; therefore, system report set-up was and is currently limited. This mindset must change in order to improve inconsistencies in HR reporting.
Recommendations HR Reporting There is an opportunity to identify and create system-wide reports for key system data.
HRC will assign a sub-committee to define the following:
• HRC define and agree upon standard system-wide reports, including report set-up. Suggested reports include employee turnover, vacant funded positions, eliminated positions, faculty and staff FTE reports and employee detail report. • HRC identify the definition of faculty (i.e. for reporting purposes only, what faculty positions are included in system reports) to eliminate inconsistencies with system reporting within this broadband. • HRC clarify FTE categories to include in reporting; FT/PT, benefited/non-benefited, temporary.
Employee Classifications There are no recommendations in response to inconsistencies in employee classification.
3. Background: The NDUS presented a Personnel and Administrative Costs study to the Higher Education Legislative Committee in the Fall of 2016. One of the outcomes from that study identified the need to better clarify and define employment classifications, including functional titles, for NDUS faculty, staff and administrative positions as per the NDUS Broadbanding Classification System.
The HRC formed a taskforce in the spring of 2017 to begin work on studying HR inconsistencies as per SB2003. The taskforce included HR representatives from each tiered institution; 2-year, 4-year and research institutions. A summary of taskforce’s research and communication can be found here.

5. Academic implications: none
6. Legal/policy issues: none

______Secretary of State SB2003 Higher Education: Employee Classification and Human Resources Reporting Inconsistencies HRC Taskforce Research and Communication Recap April 2017 – May 2018
Situation Analysis North Dakota’s 65th Legislative Assembly established a study in SB2003 that must be carried out in the interim by the State Board of Higher Education. The North Dakota University System’s Human Resource Council (HRC) was charged to evaluate inconsistent employee classification and human resource reporting issues and make recommendations to address the inconsistencies.
The directives include: 1. Create more specific guidelines and definitions for broadband placement. 2. Eliminate redundant titles across bands. 3. Create and/or identify system-wide reporting needs for the following areas: a. Turnover b. Vacant positions funded and eliminated positions no longer funded c. Faculty and Staff FTE d. Employee Detail/Alpha report
Goals identified by the taskforce: 1. A consistent approach to broadband placement for all NDUS positions. Creating system wide continuity of broadband placement through enhanced definitions and placement guidelines will improve classification inconsistencies. Provides for better alignment of positions for ease of inter-agency transfers.
2. Create unified reports for specified Human Resource categories, whereas all institutions agree upon data integrity and report set-up. Creating system wide reporting for specified areas will improve efficiencies.
Background Information: The NDUS presented a Personnel and Administrative Costs study to the Higher Education Legislative Committee in the Fall of 2016. One of the outcomes from that study identified the need to better clarify and define employment classifications, including functional titles, for NDUS faculty, staff and administrative positions as per the NDUS Broadbanding Classification System.
The HRC formed a taskforce in the spring of 2017 to begin work on the SB2003 goals as outlined in this document. The taskforce included HR representatives from each tiered institution; 2-year, 4-year and research institutions.
Current Process for Employee Classification: Broadbanding is an approach to job classification and compensation that takes into consideration content and scope of a job; employee knowledge, skills and abilities; the job market; and employee performance.
Broadbanding groups similar jobs together using a few, wide salary bands defined by the U.S. Department of Education. Within those bands, positions with similar skill requirements are grouped into job families. Job family titles are used on all payroll records, budget documents, personnel files and other official records. The hiring institutions may assign functional titles for other uses.
1
Broadbanding policies, band descriptions, functional title suggestions, pay policy and forms can be found in the NDUS Human Resource Policy Manual.
Placement of a position within a job band is based on the position description. The position description also is used to determine fair market value for each position. The market rate is used in making salary decisions.
Job bands in the University System are managed by the NDUS Human Resource Council. If an employee or employee's supervisor is dissatisfied with a job band or job family assignment, the assignment may be appealed within 30 days from the date the band/job family assignment was mailed. Appeals are filed with the human resource offices of the hiring institutions.
Key Findings Identified by the Taskforce: Employee Classification NDUS positions are placed into a broadband as defined by scope of work, not title; therefore, titles may vary by institution. Size of institution may attribute to inconsistent broadband placement due to combined roles, i.e. smaller institutions have a higher percentage of combined positions. Campuses have used the functional title as official title, rather than the Job Family Title, as stated in 14.2 of the broadbanding policy. The institution may create functional titles for other purposes which has created inconsistency across all NDUS institutions due to the latitude given to each campus to create a functional title. A ‘philosophy of functional titles’ exists within the NDUS Broadband Classification that includes a listing of proposed titles, by broadband, that is meant to assist campuses in choosing titles, however the same titles are suggested under different broadbands which is confusing. Due to the current process outlined above, functional job titles as listed in the Administrative Costs Study appear to create inconsistencies as related to the appropriate broadbands because similar or the same titles have been assigned under different broadbands using the philosophy of functional titles resource. Broadband level equates to status from an employee standpoint. Historically, offering an inflated title and broadband placement, in lieu of compensation, was a common practice, particularly as positions were eliminated and duties shifted to other employees, i.e. some employees wear up to “three hats”. Reporting Ability to pull system-wide data at the system level is lacking due to limited availability of queries. System-wide reporting in HR is accomplished via request to individual campuses whereas each campus submits data and it is compiled at the system level. Such requests for data have become more complex therefore requiring campus HR departments to create reports manually, which is inefficient. Pulling system-wide data is frowned upon by campuses because there is a lack of communication and/or understanding of how the query/report may be set up. There are several fields in HRMS in which data can be pulled. If there is a disconnect between how a campus enters information into a field, and what field is chosen to run a report there will be inconsistent data. Therefore, campuses have been asked to provide the information to the system office and they, in turn, compile the data. This is inefficient.
2
The following recommendations were shared with councils and cabinet from April 2 – May 9, 2018: Employee Classification The current broadband policy provides a solid foundation to build upon to improve consistency, build upon this by adding further resources for definition. Although functional titles may crossover across bands, this is not an area of concern because broadband placement is defined by scope of work, not a title; therefore, titles are not an issue. Utilize CUPA salary survey definitions as an added resource to assist with consistent broadband placement for administrative and professional positions. (as per motion passed on 1/18/2018). Placement into the 0000 executive/administrative band requires designation by the campus president to be excluded from the broadbanding system. Any additional resources used to assist campuses in broadband placement may be overridden by the President. HR departments must review the broadband policy and definitions by band and ensure positions are placed in the proper broadband based upon scope of work.
Reporting Historically, it was determined that campuses own their data, not the system, therefore system report set-up was and is currently limited. This mindset must change in order to improve inconsistencies in HR reporting. Recommendation that HRC assign a sub-committee to define the following: HRC define and agree upon standard system-wide reports, including report set-up. Suggested reports include employee turnover, vacant funded positions, eliminated positions, faculty and staff FTE reports and employee detail report. HRC identify the definition of faculty (i.e. for reporting purposes only, what faculty positions are included in system reports) to eliminate inconsistencies with system reporting within this broadband. HRC clarify FTE categories to include in reporting; FT/PT, benefited/non-benefited, temporary.
The following recommendations were approved by Cabinet on May 9, 2018: (see meeting history below for specific details regarding the changes) Recommendations Reporting There is an opportunity to identify and create system-wide reports for key system data.
Recommendation: HRC assign a sub-committee to define the following: HRC define and agree upon standard system-wide reports, including report set-up. Suggested reports include employee turnover, vacant funded positions, eliminated positions, faculty and staff FTE reports and employee detail report. HRC identify the definition of faculty (i.e. for reporting purposes only, what faculty positions are included in system reports) to eliminate inconsistencies with system reporting within this broadband. HRC clarify FTE categories to include in reporting; FT/PT, benefited/non-benefited, temporary.
Employee Classifications There are no recommendations in response to inconsistencies in employee classification.
3
Guidelines for notification and approval process: The board chair is the primary spokesperson for the State Board of Higher Education NDUS spokesperson and liaison to the legislative interim higher education committee is Vice Chancellor for Administrative Affairs/CFO, Tammy Dolan. HRC was tasked to evaluate and provide recommendations. No action shall be taken until approval by the SBHE. HRC will provide their report to NDUS Cabinet, NDUS senior staff and applicable NDUS Councils by June 30, 2018. Upon NDUS Cabinet and NDUS Council(s) approval, recommendations will be shared with the SBHE. Periodic updates on progress to improve inconsistencies may be shared with the legislative higher education committee, as requested. Final recommendations, as approved by the SBHE, will be presented to the legislative interim higher education committee no later than December 31, 2018.
Taskforce and HRC Meeting History Date Agenda Outcome/next steps 3/8/17 HRC Meeting HRC Created a Broadband/Title Taskforce to work on Create Taskforce recommendations for SB2003. 4/11/17 Taskforce Meeting Discussed the purpose of this task force and decide how to Set Charter proceed. It was decided to develop goals to share with the HRC. 4/25/17 Taskforce Meeting Reviewed administrative cost study from August 2016. Determine Goals Developed goals related to broadband classification needs, titles and reporting. Discussed information to be shared with HRC in June 2017. 1. Compile a list of data and reporting inconsistencies within employee broadband classifications/job title. a. Identify common functional job titles under each broadband and develop guidelines for job title assignment. b. Develop guidelines for proper broadband placement c. Suggest a starting point (‘as of’ date) for all campuses to adhere to the guidelines for broadband placement and titles. 2. Compile a list of data and reporting inconsistencies as related to global system-wide HR reporting: a. Vacant positions b. Budgeted positions by funding type c.

system-wide reporting. HRC representatives will communicate query fields with appropriate campus departments to ensure consistent data entry.
6/6/17 June HRC Meeting Provided an update. The taskforce has met twice and Taskforce update on discussed the task(s) at hand and created draft goals. progress. Members have also begun to define minimum job duties for broadbands 0000 and 1000 by tier i.e. Research, 4-year and 2-year. The definitions are intended to be used as an additional resource for broadband placement.
8/14/17 August Taskforce Call 1. Tier 2 rep. stepped off due to time constraints. Discuss broadband 2. Members agreed to not replace descriptors 3. Received clarification on the directive from SB 2030 Discuss reporting a. Better align titles to broadbands options/obstacles/needs b. Do not have the same functional title across multiple-bands i.e. director/assistant director c. Whatever we recommend the new definitions and titles can have a future effective date---do not need to go retroactive, this would be a disruption d. Advised us not to define titles by campus tier—it would make it even more confusing e. Create broadband placement definitions and create functional title list for each broadband 4. Next steps a. Taskforce members will tackle 2000 (only three sub bands) and 3000. b. Taskforce thought 4000 and above had acceptable definitions and titles c. Present data at the Sept HRC meeting 5. After broadbands we will tackle reporting—but it may not be from these members (we might be burnt out). Plus that may not be a huge task. 6. The Legislative Higher Ed committee will expect an update on recommendations within the biennium.
9/12/17 Sept HRC Meeting Provided an overview of the taskforce progress thus far which included providing more definitions for scope of work by broadbands—via broadbrand rubric. Bands that were completed included 0000, 2000 (select job codes) and 3000. The taskforce proposed a document defining broadbands and proposed titles.
5
The HRC agreed that a document that better defines this scope will be helpful in providing more structure and consistency for future broadband and title assignments, not retroactive.
The HRC Chair asked if everyone was in favor of using the template shared by the taskforce. Attendees on the phone asked for more time to review the document with the minutes before answering.
During Sept-Dec The taskforce received emails from concerned HR directors regarding the broadband rubric template for bands 0000, 1000 and 3000. Concerns included looking administratively heavy, a possible change to market, and making changes to recent clean-up and alignment that may have already occurred and the impact on employees. 12/5/2017 Dec HRC Meeting Taskforce proposal: Proposal 1 Use the organizational chart of an institution, regardless of title, and organize bands by who the position reports to and request support by the HRC 0000 President, Vice-Presidents and Direct Reports in charge of a Major Unit 1000 Direct Reports to an individual in the 0000 band, in charge of a Major Unit 3000 All other Managers, Directors, Supervisors and professionals Proposal one did not make it to a vote after discussion.
Proposal 2 Use CUPA salary survey descriptions to assist in broadband placement. I.e. if an employee is matched to CUPA professional salary survey, they would (more than likely) fall into the 3000 Professional broadband. If an employee is match to the CUPA executive/administrative survey they would either fall into 0000 or 1000 broadband, specific cut- off for placement TBD. Motion was made to use CUPA to assist with placement. Did not pass. There were four campuses abstaining, and two absent. The topic was tabled and suggestion was made to schedule a special call in January to discuss further.
1/8/18 HRC Special Conference Call Motion was passed 11 to 3, 1 not present: to use CUPA salary surveys to assist in broadband placement. HRC also moved to make this retroactive. No action should be taken in response to the recent motion as all recommendations for SB2003 will go through the

Call Review draft research and communication plan Discuss future of taskforce Discuss proposal to HRC --- March meeting 3/7/2018 HRC Meeting HRC approved recommendations for HR employee classification and reporting. April 2 – 5 Academic Affairs Council, Recommendations were communicated to Councils to 2018 Student Affairs Council, obtain feedback. Concerns were brought up by all three Administrative Affairs councils related to size of institution. Comparisons can not Council be made in this area. Too many variables. April 11, Chancellor’s Cabinet Recommendations were shared with Cabinet. After much 2018 discussion, recommendations were tabled until the May meeting to allow more time to review. April 14, Special HRC Conference Call HRC discussed intent of recommendations and impact on 2018 campuses. No action items occurred on this call. May 9, Chancellor’s Cabinet Recommendations were discussed. Consensus was that 2018 employee classifications cannot be consistent among campuses due to size of institution. Campuses are different and it’s not a one size fits all for employment classification. Cabinet did not approve recommendations for employee classification, but did approve recommendations for HR reporting to improve consistency.

Summary of Proposed Action ND State Board of Higher Education Meeting – May 23, 2018
1. Issue: The Board of Trustees of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation (TRPLF) voted on May 14, 2018, not to construct the presidential library on the campus of Dickinson State University (DSU) as previously agreed to in a ground lease between the SBHE and the TRPLF. The TRPLF now wishes to terminate the ground lease with the SBHE via mutual agreement.
2. Proposed actions: Authorize the Chancellor, working in with DSU and legal counsel, to enter into a lease termination agreement with the TRPLF that recognizes the costs incurred by DSU and the NDUS since the ground lease was executed.
3. Background information: In 2013, the North Dakota legislature appropriated $12 million to DSU for the purposes of “awarding a grant” for the construction of a Theodore Roosevelt presidential library so long as $3 million from “non-state sources” was also secured for the project. Subsequently, the TRPLF was incorporated and identified as the grantee of the $12 million following proof that $3 million from non-state sources was also pledged. The TRPLF also selected a site for the presidential library on the DSU campus and the SBHE approved a ground lease with the TRPLF for construction of the presidential library on the site in question on June 17, 2016 (a minor amendment to the ground lease was also ratified by the SBHE on September 29, 2016).
During 2016 and through early 2018, the TRPLF proceeded with plans to construct the presidential library on the site at DSU and, in the process, incurred costs that were reimbursed via the initial appropriation. However, the TRPLF’s Board of Trustees voted on May 14, 2018, to not construct the project on the campus of DSU as originally planned and, instead, to construct the presidential library closer to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. To date, the TRPLF has been reimbursed about $2.2 million of the $12 million originally appropriated.
4. Financial implications: DSU may incur costs associated with how the TRPLF maintained the property covered by the ground lease.
5. Legal/policy issues: None at this time.
6. Academic issues: None
7. Coordination: Legal counsel review with feedback from DSU and the NDUS office.
8. Attachments: Ground lease between SBHE and the TRPLF.

2. Proposed motion: Authorize NDSU to begin a formal fundraising campaign for a new Indoor Practice Facility through the NDSU Foundation and Alumni Association with an estimated amount of $37,200,000.
3. Background: A temporary bubble purchased a few years ago has provided a protected environment to allow outdoor sports teams like football, baseball, softball, golf and soccer to continue to practice, since space in the FargoDome is limited. The bubble needs to be erected every fall, dismantled every spring and stored along with all of its components, including HVAC and the other portable equipment. This has been a temporary and costly solution to the need for an indoor practice facility. The goal for athletics is to develop a permanent training facility or multiple training facilities for its athletes.
4. Financial implications: Future operating costs will be covered by local dollars. Private donations will cover all project costs. NDSU will continue fundraising to construct as much of the building as possible, up to $37,200,000. There will be adequate funds available to purchase any FF&E.

1. Issue: Harris Hall and the Meats Lab currently house crop quality, food science, and meat science teaching and research programs critical to maintaining or advancing the cereal chemistry/cereal quality, food science, meat science, and food safety and security programs at NDSU. NDSU seeks authorization to raise $6 million for construction of a new $60.0 million facility to address the health, safety, food grade, and code issues of the current facilities. The 2019-21 capital project request.
2. Proposed motion: Authorize NDSU to begin a formal fund raising campaign for a portion of the Ag Products Development Center through the NDSU Foundation and Alumni Association with a target amount of $6,000,000. A state general fund appropriation will be requested for the remaining $54.0 million of project costs.
3. Background: Harris Hall is not a sprinkled building and is physically attached to Northern Crops Institute (NCI). There is a high risk of fire or explosion due to the dust created by the activities in both of these buildings. HVAC is inadequate, resulting in recirculation of grain dust generated by milling cereals, pulses and oilseeds. Cleaning/sanitizing/sterilizing the Meat Lab is difficult due to a poor HVAC system, no integrity of the floor, and poor insulation of refrigerated/freezing facilities, increasing the potential for mold and bacterial growth. Shared ventilation system between the arena and Meats Lab can cause contamination and issues with dust, creating a concern for product that is sold, for academic teaching, and for quality meat research.
4. Financial implications: The utilities will increase slightly with the additional equipment included in the facility, but will be offset by the savings realized in demolishing the greenhouses. These costs will be funded by appropriated general funds.
NDSU is requesting fundraising authorization with a target of $6,000,000 in private funds; the $54.0 million balance will be requested as a state general fund appropriation.

1. Issue: West Dining Center (WDC), built in 1972, is located adjacent to the high- rise residence halls of Seim, Thompson, Sevrinson, Pavek, and Catherine Cater Hall, which is currently under construction; is currently the only dining center that offers extended late night hours for students to eat. The current demands for contract dining continue to exceed available seat capacity. The east addition will include a new elevator which would allow ADA access to those students who use the lower level classrooms, tutoring, and for those accessing the other high-rise residence halls.
2. Proposed motion: Authorize NDSU to proceed with the West Dining Center Expansion project at an estimated cost of $3,700,000 funded from auxiliary local funds.
3. Background: This project is the first of several phases and will involve building additions to the WDC on the southwest corner and the east side. The southwest addition will accommodate approximately 250 seats for the 440 students living in the new Catherine Cater Hall set to open in the fall of 2019.

1. Issue: Bids received for the partial Underground Steam Tunnel Replacement project exceeded the previous SBHE authorization. Parts of the project were rebid on April 17, 2018, with a reduction in the length of the project and to encourage more competitive bidding with additional contractors. Because of the short time frame for completion before the fall semester, work needs to start as soon as possible.
2. Proposed motion: Request increase the project authorization for the Partial Underground Steam Tunnel Replacement project from $2,800,000 to $3,100,000 a difference of $300,000 to be funded from 2017-19 extra ordinary repair.
3. Background: Construction of the tunnels was done in two main phases the first in 1979 and the second in 1981. The tunnels were created using cattle pass sections, which are not built to withstand the conditions our tunnels have experienced. The tunnel is past its useful life with spalling starting to occur. Improving efficiencies and deferred maintenance repairs are consistent with the 2016 Master Plan. Underground Telecommunications Infrastructure and Steam Distribution both reside in the tunnels. If the tunnel failed, Life Safety, Teaching and Research would be at risk and disrupted. The Partial Underground Steam Tunnel Replacement project was initially authorized at the March 28, 2018 SBHE meeting.

10. Recommendation: Chancellor Hagerott recommends approval. University of North Dakota May 23, 2018
Authorize UND to raise funds for phase two construction of the High Performance Center (HPC2), an area for athletic support spaces: offices, meeting rooms, locker rooms, weight rooms, nutrition room, athletic therapy rooms and other training related spaces that support UND’s student athletes.
Project Description: The second phase of construction includes an 117,000 gross square foot addition connected to the western exterior wall of the existing HPC in green space between the HPC and the outdoor track and associated site improvements.
Consistency with Campus Facility Master Plan and Budget: This project was developed as part of a detailed plan undertaken in 2005 in response to the transition to NCAA Division 1 competition, and is consistent with the UND Campus Facility Master Plan. The project will allow athletics to consolidate their existing space needs into new construction and reduce athletics assigned square footage by 115,000 sq. ft. The project will also allow UND to tactically remove an estimated 300,000 gross square feet of existing space, remove an estimated $27,000,000 in existing deferred maintenance and open up a site in the academic core of campus for a new academic building.
SBHE and/or Legislative History: Although this specific project has no SBHE or Legislative history, the original concept for the existing HPC building (approved by the North Dakota Legislative Assembly in 2009, SBHE in 2013, and opened for campus use in 2015) included this second phase in the original design concept.

UND | May 23, 2018 | Authorize fund-raising for HPC phase II; seek legislative assembly approval 1 Future Operating/Improvement Costs and Funding Sources: The future estimated operating cost is $1,381,000 per year present value, based on an 117,000 gross square foot facility. Operating costs will be funded from athletic revenue and will be more than offset by operating savings caused by an overall net reduction in athletics GSF.
Source and Availability of Funds (including FF&E): Private funds pending this request for authorization and up to $8,000,000 in funds from the sale of excess property.
Estimated Project Timeline and Completion Date: Project will begin as soon as funding and project authorization have been secured, with an estimated time line for completion of 18 months.
SBHE Capital Criteria (address each of the criteria below) a) Project addresses current life, health and safety issues. This project will replace existing space with identified deferred maintenance related to life- safety and ADA issues. b) Project addresses compliance with local, state or federal law or other requirements. This project will result in new construction that will meet code compliance, replacing existing space that, due to the age of the infrastructure, does not meet all current local, state and federal laws due to its age. c) Project corrects significant deferred maintenance. This project will address significant deferred maintenance. This project will replace existing space and directly remove an estimated $8,300,000 million in existing deferred maintenance. In addition, indirectly make it possible for UND to remove another 300,000 GSF of existing space and will remove an estimated $27,000,000 in existing deferred maintenance needs based on ISES’s 2016 building assessment. d) Project addresses a critical maintenance need defined by situations which must be addressed, and which, if neglected, could result in substantial damage to the structural integrity of the building. This project will result in new square footage that will replace existing spaces that has been neglected and if not addressed will result in further structural integrity related damage. e) Project meets a compelling programmatic or accreditation justification consistent with campus mission and strategic goals. The completion of this project will provide UND student athletes competing in NCAA Division I enhanced performance and training spaces. Because of the primary role athletics plays in both higher education and regional economic vitality, the proposed facility will have a major effect on both the academic proficiency of our student athletes as well as the development of larger attendance revenues. The facility in itself will serve as an important recruitment tool, allowing UND to attract the finest students (both athletes and non-athletes) and raising our level of competition and success in sports. f) Project has been partially funded by the legislature in a previous biennium, but is not yet complete. This project has no legislative funding to date. g) Project is supported by significant outside funding.

Amendment to Minot State University Campus Master Plan
To add and reprioritize campus master plan Life Safety and Security needs. The highest priority will be added to the needs as follows:
“LSS 1 Backup Electrical Systems
Backup generator systems at key buildings will ensure the safety of students, employees and members of the surrounding community in the event of campus or wide-spread power outages. The risks have been present for some time but have increased in recent years due to cyber-events that could be directed toward heating systems and outages that may disrupt large events being held on campus. Backup electrical systems would mitigate problems with electrical outages ensuring emergency heat, food preparation, non-disruption of large campus events and may help to reduce annual utility costs through peak-load and power-shedding arrangements with the University’s electrical service provider.”

MINOT STATE UNIVERSITY
2017-2019 Master Plan 1. Overview (The purpose of this section is to provide a brief history of the institution as a means to provide the reader a context for its mission, and subsequently provide information on its mission as it relates to data on education programs, research programs, outreach and training programs, and public service programs.)
a) Background/History i) Founding dates and a brief explanation of the events and needs giving rise to the establishment of the institution. ii) Dates which mark a significant change in either the mission or governance, including a description of events which gave rise to the change.
Originally established in 1913 as a two-year normal school devoted to preparing teachers for service in the prairie schools of northwestern North Dakota, the institution soon expanded its offerings in response to the needs of the region, a pattern that has been repeated many times in Minot State's subsequent history. Those who governed the institution recognized the need to add teacher preparation programs in the fine arts, liberal arts and sciences, and professional fields.
In 1924 the institution was given authority to offer a baccalaureate degree, and programs in the liberal arts began at Minot State. Programs in the sciences, humanities, fine arts, and social sciences were developed. Later, programs in special education, speech pathology, business, and nursing were added. In 1964 the school's name was changed to Minot State College, and its mission expanded to include graduate school education at the master's level. In 1987 the institution's name was changed to Minot State University, and today the University offers a number of certificates as well as associate, baccalaureate, masters and specialist degrees along with a joint doctoral program through UND.
iii) Evolution of the institution as it relates to size and programs. (1) Dates and description for the acquisition of land, including the purpose for the acquisition. (2) Dates and descriptions for the addition/removal of major buildings, including the purpose for the action related to program needs (if applicable). (3) Timeline, based on 10 year intervals, which illustrates change in enrollment

The campus of Minot State University has seen a history of iterative growth as opportunities became available to expand its footprint in service to students and the community. In 1911, three parcels of land were acquired totaling 60 acres to form the original campus. In 1915, an additional 5.15 acres were added to the southwest boundary. In 1917, nine acres were added to the southeast boundary to bring the total campus size to 74.15 acres. The campus boundaries remained unchanged until 1967 when 31.64 acres were acquired to extend the north boundary to 20th Avenue N.W. Three tracts of land totaling 3.55 acres were later sold to a private developer, leaving the University's total acreage at 102.24 acres. The campus is zoned public thereby allowing the campus to pursue planning and construction within the framework of its master plan, free from constraints that encumber other zoning areas of Minot. A table showing the inventory of University Buildings, the year of their original construction and subsequent renovations is shown below: Originally Renovations/ Constructed Remodels

Other noteworthy and related construction has recently taken place by the MSU Foundation and other entities as well. In response to the 2011 flooding, independent developers in cooperation with the Minot State University Development Foundation built a multi-story mixed use commercial/apartment building called Beaver Ridge that primarily caters to students, faculty and staff of Minot State University. In 2012, the Minot State Foundation, in response to the need for additional student housing, constructed an apartment complex west of campus which was named Beaver Suites.

The North Dakota Center for Persons with Disabilities (NDCPD): The North Dakota Center for Persons with Disabilities (NDCPD) operates the North Dakota Community Staff Training Program (CSTP). This statewide staff training program has operated for over 30 years through a cooperative effort of the North Dakota Department of Human Services (NDDHS), the North Dakota Center for Persons with Disabilities (NDCPD) at Minot State University (MSU), and community agencies serving persons with developmental disabilities (DD). Full-time direct support and professional staff are required to demonstrate knowledge and skills learned through training modules and a series of field-based practica. Service providers employ state- certified regional trainers to teach these modules. MSU faculty offer regional workshops, audio- conferences, and conferences specific to interests of community-based staff and meet quarterly with the agency trainers for training and curriculum development. The seven-step professional developmental sequence through MSU includes: (1) entry level orientation; (2) position-based competency training; (3) Certificate of Completion; (4) an Advanced Certificate; (5) Associate of Science in Human Services: Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities; (6) a Bachelor of Science in Human Services: Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities and (7) a Master of Science in Developmental Disabilities and Autism Spectrum Disorder. Learning options include formal instruction, on-site demonstration, mentoring, and self-study with or without discussion group participation. Staff members may test out of individual modules.
Key program elements include (a) cooperation among NDDHS, NDCPD, and service providers; (b) comprehensive, but flexible, training materials; (c) a statewide system of individual training records; (d) comprehensive resource lending library; (e) state standards for staff training; (f) a career training sequence leading to academic degrees; and (g) program consistency across North Dakota. Partners in the training program collaboratively develop and revise training curricula to keep the training program up-to-date.
DHS funds the salaries of agency trainers and training time for direct support staff, and MSU’s materials development and training activities. State funding for this project is over $89,500. In the fiscal year from July 2014 through June 2015 NDCPD at MSU provided training to over 3,300 individuals through CSTP. In addition, over 800 hours of technical assistance were provided to programs and state agencies regarding workforce development in the field of developmental disabilities.
The Center for Extended Learning (CEL): CEL’s biggest outreach (non-credit) is the teacher education professional development workshops. The CEL headcount enrollment number for academic year 2015 was 1,950 attendees served, which included the teacher education workshops as well as other smaller professional development activities such as computer workshops. The program continues to grow. CEL is expected to serve 2,200 attendees for academic year 2017 and 2,400 enrolled for 2019.

Honors: HON 391H-Community Problem-Solving: Most recently, after researching issues and hearing from various potential community partners,12 Honors students identified hunger as a need for many in the community and so worked all semester to coordinate a community banquet and silent auction that raised over $2,000 for the Salvation Army Food Pantry. The students also created a pamphlet identifying various resources related to hunger issues that was shared with social service agencies in the community.
NDCPD: MSU hosts the North Dakota Center for Persons with Disabilities (NDCPD), a federally designated University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (per Public Law 106-402, the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000). NDCPD’s mission is “To provide service, education, and research which empowers communities to welcome, value and support the well-being and quality of life for people of all ages and abilities.” The four core goals of NDCPD are (1) increase ND Communities’ capacity to support individuals with disabilities and their families; (2) provide effective pre-service and outreach training that will increase the number of, and quality of direct support and other professionals in the human services and other related fields; (3) support individuals with disabilities and their families/caregivers in ways that maximize their capacity, strengths, and abilities to exercise greater choice and self-determination; and (4) improve systems and services of healthcare for persons with disabilities.
In the fiscal year from July 2014 through June 2015, NDCPD provided near 300 activities in technical assistance to ND communities around these goals. In addition, NDCPD provided information on disabilities to over 22,800 individuals, and conducted community education services to over 20,000 people in ND and throughout the United States. Typical community services projects in NDCPD included: Money Follows the Person (assisting individuals in institutions to move into inclusive communities); Senior Medicare Patrol (providing information to seniors and to persons with disabilities about scams and fraud in Medicare and Medicaid); Minot Infant Development Program (home visitation services for over 120 families in north central ND who have children ages birth to 3 with disabilities); Disability Health Project (providing information and prevention projects to improve the health of ND citizens with disabilities); and the ND Navigator Project (assisting ND citizens to enroll in healthcare insurance as required by the Affordable Care Act). A full list of NDCPD projects is available at www.ndcpd.org/projects.
2) Planning Assumptions and Drivers (The purpose of this section is to credit the individuals and groups preparing the plan, provide key data which supports taking action on facility or infrastructure projects, and illustrate the circumstances or conditions which motivate the planning process.) a) Master Plan Preparation
17
ii) Administrative Stake Holders (List administration members and/or groups who have contributed to preparation of the Master Plan. Specify which administrator(s) provided oversight and guidance of the Master Plan iii) Faculty Stake Holders (list faculty members or groups participating in the master planning effort.) iv) Community Stake Holders (list or identify any local/regional/state entities which have participated in master plan discussions.) v) Staff Stake Holders (list staff members, other than Facility Management staff, who have participated in master plan discussions.) vi) Facility Management (List members of Facility Management who have actively prepared the master plan or provided content.) vii) Consulting Firms (List consultants who have assisted in preparation of the Master Plan.)
Most of the preparation of this Master Plan document has been driven by needs identified in the University’s Vision 2013 strategic planning document and previous 2013-2015 Master Plan document. Many individuals and stakeholders were involved in this planning process. The Vision 2013 document credits the Faculty Senate, Staff Senate, Student Association, MSU Alumni Board, Board of Regents, Planning and Budgeting Council as well as several administrators who contributed to the planning process.
The University has initiated efforts that will culminate in a new Strategic Plan over the next year. MSU is currently experiencing several changes in key leadership personnel. The perspective of that new leadership along with changes in enrollment, residence hall occupancy, regional demographics, competitive delivery modalities and state economics will all influence the identification of University priorities over the next year. Planning is anticipated to be inclusive with planning participation expected from many key constituency groups.

Specify here how the shortcoming is affecting the function. (Note – this category may rise as a component of the Strategic Plan whereby
23
facilities or infrastructure has been identified as contributing to a loss of enrollment, program decline, or other condition which must be corrected in order to sustain or improve the condition.) College of Arts and Sciences:
Math/Computer Science
The Department of Mathematics & Computer Science is not expected to change significantly in enrollment, although enrollment in computer science classes has increased the past few years (doubled this past year). This increase in enrollment has made it difficult to teach CSCI 275 Computer and Digital Hardware I, a hands-on, lab-based course, in its current space. At present faculty are making it work, but additional space or another faculty member to teach additional sections of this course and other courses is needed if current enrollment trends continue in computer science. Thus, major changes to facilities and physical infrastructure are not anticipated, but additional resources are needed to accommodate current enrollment trends in computer science.
The Master of Arts in Teaching: Mathematics program has been inactivated due a discontinuation of grant funds. Thus, enrollments have dropped to almost zero immediately. This drop in enrollment will not impact facilities or infrastructure since the facilities and infrastructure used for the master’s courses are also being used for undergraduate courses.
Biology—Planning Assumptions: Potential increase in BS Bioinformatics majors will be moderate but may require more access to computer labs BA Biology majors show most growth in pre-health interested students – a cadaver lab would better prepare those students for further study
College of Education and Health Sciences:
Programs that are expected to change significantly in enrollment over the next 6 years and their effect on facilities and physical infrastructure:
The graduate program will be able to return to the number of students previously accepted into the program each year, putting it at capacity. No changes in facilities would be required. If more faculty can be hired and more space can be found, nursing enrollments will grow. The program is at capacity now, but needs additional office and classroom space. The Department of Addiction Studies, Psychology, and Social Work is looking at starting a master’s degree program for addiction studies and counseling that will include coursework that can also be used as a concentration or minor in the Education Specialist degree program in School Psychology. The Department of Special Education has a new BAS program in Signing and Interpreting that will increase enrollments at the university. A Bush grant will pay for the renovation of an underused classroom space in Memorial into an IVN, other distance mode, and face-to-face classroom. The grant will also support renovation in the SPED/CD Media Center rooms to better utilize those spaces and move CD needed technologies and files from the classroom to the back room of the Media Center.
24
College of Arts and Sciences:
Math/Computer Science
Undergraduate research in mathematics has increased over the past 5 years and should continue at its current rate in the future.
Biology—Planning Assumptions
There is an anticipated increase in animal research, including mice. This will eventually require a proper animal facility (for security and health reasons) There is an ever increasing need for reliable freezer storage for molecular biology reagents and tissues. Five out of six biology faculty members work with tissues and reagents for their research. These tissues and reagents are jeopardized by an unreliable power supply to the building. Experiments are also lost during power outages, (e.g. disruption of DNA amplification, PCR machine). The science building needs reliable backup power for the many times during the year when power is lost.
c) Maintenance and Facility Condition Standards i) List any standards which have been established by the institution for levels of maintenance or condition ratings which are to be upheld based on current levels of funding. Indicate how the standards or ratings are necessary to support the institution’s Strategic Plan (Note- the purpose of listing standards or ratings is to provide a planning driver for deferred maintenance needs or support functions. The standards and ratings should be identified as a metric which can be measured e.g. deferred maintenance levels less than 30% of the asset value) No new standards added at this time.
ii) Provide a priority listing of general facility/physical infrastructure components which must be maintained in order to successfully support the institution’s mission. (by example – a research institution may indicate that a fully redundant electrical distribution system with no single point of failure is critical, whereas a regional institution may not require a fully redundant system and may tolerate infrequent service interruptions.) Nothing at this time.
iii) Provide a listing of anticipated building/fire code or statutory changes which will require immediate updates or changes to facilities or physical infrastructure.
Nothing at this time.
25
d) Life Safety / Risk Assessment Concerns / Projections i) Identify potential life/safety/security conditions which may be rising as a result of growth or other changes at the institution. Do not list specific buildings or infrastructure in this section, but instead provide an outline of trends which have been identified as having an impact on facilities and/or physical infrastructure.
Expansion to Downtown Minot: Minot State University is exploring a possible partnership with the city of Minot relating to a University presence in downtown Minot. Expansion into downtown Minot will result in the need for a security presence to not only deter criminal behavior, but investigate any alleged security issues. There will be a need for extra security cameras and alarms to remotely monitor MSU property located in downtown Minot. A vehicle will need to be procured for the security department to allow for access to the downtown location by MSU Security personnel. Clery and Title IX reportable geography will expand to downtown. Incidents occurring in the new geographical area will need to be investigated and reported as required by federal law.
New Plant Services Building and Motor Pool: The location for the Plant Services building at the north end of the University will affect coverage provided by the security department. This location will need to be routinely patrolled to protect the building and State Motor Pool as well as employees returning state vehicles and retrieving their personal vehicles.
Herb Parker Field Expansion: MSU is in the process of raising funds to install a seasonal cover over the football field at Herb Parker. The MSU Security Department is required to be present at all sporting events. Increased activity at the football field in the winter months will directly affect the security department as coverage of events and response to incidents will increase.
ii) List, in priority order, life safety improvement or needs by function e.g. card access, security cameras, fire protection, etc.
1) Building Access Control 2) Video Camera Upgrades 3) Building Intercom 4) Automated External Defibrillators 5) Campus Lighting
iii) List any potential needs required as a result of changes in codification or statute. This does not include anticipated changes in building codes or statutes as included in section C., but instead refers to codes or statutes having other life/safety/security concerns such as gun control.
Nothing at this time.

3) Facility and Physical Infrastructure Priority Goals – Six Year Outlook (The purpose of this section is to illustrate the Program/Enrollment, Deferred Maintenance, and life safety needs which are resolved through some form of facility/infrastructure investment. )
a) Program and Enrollment Driven Needs i) PED 1 (by example – “virtual gross anatomy labs”) (1) Narrative which clearly explains how the need supports mission and is a result of changes in program requirements or enrollment trends. Demonstrate how existing areas/spaces do not accommodate the need. Information on the basic facility needs for developing the space can be included in this area – but note that the actual development of the project as to new construction or renovation will take place as part of capital planning. ii) PED 2…
Minot State University needs a variety of physical upgrades to campus facilities in order to effectively and efficiently serve student needs. Some academic programs could accommodate larger numbers of students if proper space becomes available through renovations and remodeling. Certain programs could more efficiently deliver courses if larger classroom spaces were to become available. Key teaching and research facilities are in need of substantial repair as well as expansion. In particular, most of Hartnett Hall is original and has had very little done to it over the years.
Residence halls are also in need of significant renovations. Cook and McCulloch Hall were opened in the 1960’s (McCulloch in 1960, Cook in 1966). Other than basic paint, carpeting, and other minor cosmetic repairs these two buildings lie largely untouched and un-renovated. Dakota Hall and Pioneer Hall both sit in a similar position. Though half of Dakota Hall received a bathroom renovation in the 2000’s, the building has been largely untouched for decades.
The Dome was built in in 1981. Most of the building is all original and in need of various updates and repairs. The addition of air conditioning to the building would greatly enhance the environment for the campus community as well as visitors to the campus.
PED 1 Classroom, Laboratory and Campus Building updates
A number of academic delivery venues need renovations, remodeling, expansions or consolidations in order to effectively and efficiently deliver quality student instruction.
b) Deferred Maintenance Priority Repairs i) DMP 1 (by example “new chiller for Old Main” or “tuck pointing for masonry structures, pre 1960 in age”) (1) Narrative which describes the condition of the deferred maintenance priority and the impact failure of the component would have on institution operations. ii) DMP 2…
27
Multiple campus buildings are in need of new windows. Mechanical systems are inefficient and in need of upgrading. Many components are approaching the end of their life cycle. New systems will allow better control of temperature and humidity. Sections of roofs will need replacing over the next several years. Carpeting needs replaced due to years of high volume foot traffic. Exterior masonry needs tuck pointing repairs at various locations to prevent water damage. Parking lots are experiencing deterioration and need repairs.
DMP 1 Reduce the deferred maintenance of campus buildings.
Old Main, Model Hall, Memorial Hall, Swain Hall, Hartnett Hall and other campus facilities need a variety of upgrades, replacements and repairs for efficient operations and comfortable delivery of services to the campus community.
DMP 2 Maintenance of parking lots.
L lot north of the Dome and E loop parking lot south of Old Main currently need top coating. Other parking lots will need various asphalt and curb repairs over the next few years
c) Life/Safety/Security Priority Needs i) LSS 1 (by example “card access system for residence halls”) (1) Narrative which clearly demonstrates that providing for the need resolves a life/safety/security problem. Note that this section should reflect in priority order the more general needs illustrated in the previous section. As an example, card access systems may be identified in section 2.D as an overall priority, but are now described with more detail as part of a six year plan of action to address the needs. ii) LSS 2…
LSS 1 Building Access Control
A campus-wide card reader system will improve security by allowing campus officials to control access to buildings and individual rooms and will provide an electronic access record. Student access to buildings and rooms can be managed effectively and deleted when access is no longer needed. Custodial and Security personnel will have physical keys to allow access during system maintenance or power outages.
LSS 2 Video Camera Upgrades Currently there are approximately 300 video cameras on campus. Many cameras are of poor quality and do not adequately capture images at night or other low light conditions. In addition to a quality upgrade, additional cameras are needed to adequately provide video surveillance of all academic, business, and residence halls.
LSS 3 Building Intercom An intercom system should be installed in each building to better communicate during emergencies such as Severe Weather, Fire, or Active Shooter emergencies.
28
LSS 4 Automated External Defibrillators Currently there are six AED’s in three buildings on campus (Wellness - 3, Dome - 2, Swain – 1) Adding additional AED’s to campus would improve safety on campus. A target goal should be at least one AED in all academic buildings, business buildings, and residence halls.
LSS 5 Campus Lighting A recent campus safety walk revealed several areas on campus where additional or brighter external lighting is needed to illuminate areas of campus with deficient outdoor lighting. Replacing existing external lighting with LED bulbs will greatly increase campus safety by providing more visibility at night.

Summary of Proposed Action ND State Board of Higher Education Meeting – May 23, 2018
1. Issue: North Dakota State University and the University of North Dakota have submitted recommendations for tenure for review by the State Board of Higher Education (SBHE). The tenure applications being presented here are for individuals who are new to the faculty of the institutions but have held tenure elsewhere. In each case, criteria for tenure have been identified and applied by each institution’s respective internal process.
2. Proposed actions: Recommend approval for tenure, listed in paragraph 3, effective at the start of Academic Year 2018-2019.
3. Background information: The following individual faculty members are recommended for tenure by their respective institutions. While tenure is assigned within a unit, organizational and structural changes, transfers and similar circumstances do not effect tenure status.
North Dakota State University Holly Hassel, Ph.D., Professor, Department of English; David R. Steward, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering; and Rebecca Weaver-Hightower, Ph.D., Professor, Department of English.
University of North Dakota Amy Henley, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Management; and Donald Warne, M.D., M.P.H., Professor, Department of Family and Community Medicine.
4. Financial implications: Any additional expenses associated in contracting the listed candidates as tenured faculty will be drawn from the respective campuses’ budgets for the AY 2018-19, and thereafter.
5. Legal/policy issues: SBHE Policy 605.1, Academic Freedom and Tenure—Academic Appointments, requires Board approval of candidates for tenure at the respective institutions.
Paragraph 4-b(ii) specifies the awarding of tenure in exceptional circumstances, and so reads:
The Board may, following review and recommendations made pursuant to the procedures established at an institution award tenure in exceptional circumstances, defined by the institution’s procedures, to an institution’s chief academic officer or to any other person appointed to the faculty who has not met the eligibility requirement of subdivision 3(c) of this policy, provided that the person, at the time tenure is granted, has: a. held a tenured appointment at another institution, or b. been a faculty member at the institution for at least one prior academic year.
6. Academic issues: Addressed in paragraphs 3 and 5.
7. Coordination: Each request was reviewed initially by the sending institution and was approved by its president. Each request was also reviewed by the Vice Chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs.
8. Attachments: Candidate recommendation forms
9. Contact information: Richard M. Rothaus, Ph.D., Vice Chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs, NDUS. Ph: 701-328-4136/email: [email protected].
10. Chancellor’s recommendation: N/A

Summary of Proposed Action ND State Board of Higher Education Meeting – May 23, 2018
1. Issue: North Dakota State University (NDSU) has submitted the following Stage II requests: Minor in Honors, CIP Code 30.9999, via on-campus and distance delivery Minor and B.S. in Precision Agriculture, CIP Code 01.0308, via on-campus, using a new prefix of PAG-Precision Agriculture Minor in Interior Design, CIP Code 50.0408, via on-campus and distance delivery
2. Proposed actions: Approve/deny the above Stage II requests of NDSU.
3. Background information: A minor in Honors will allow NDSU to attract and retain high achieving students from the region. This is in line with the strategic goals for NDSU and NDUS. The rapid growth of the honors program at NDSU demonstrates the potential for an Honors minor. In just two years, the Honors program has increased enrollment from 40-120 students. A formal, standardized curriculum and transcription of the Honors Minor makes it clear to students that the credits they take for Honors count toward a definite outcome that will be clearly reflected in their academic record.
Both the Minor and the B.S. in Precision Agriculture are intended to help increase production efficiency, cut input usage and contribute to effective resource management and utilization. There is a strong demand for a skilled workforce in precision agriculture from agricultural producers, agricultural industries, and current and prospective students in North Dakota and the region. A new major in Precision Agriculture will allow NDSU to fulfill a regional demand for a precision agriculture workforce. The proposed minor will benefit many students in the broader area of agriculture, engineering, sciences, and business who are targeting employment in agricultural industries, or industries dealing with spatial sciences.
The interior design minor will offer students the benefit of related perspectives on design or examine broad-based studies to combine information and process from two disparate disciplines. Both directions provide students with diversity in their educational background.
4. Financial implications: None cited.
5. Legal/policy issues: State Board of Higher Education (SBHE) Policy 403.1 Program Approval states: “Board approval is required for all new programs of study that designate a focused collection of instructional/ learning activities the completion of which signifies a level of competence which the awarding institution so designates by a notation on the front of the student transcript.”
6. Academic issues: No academic issues were raised at the May 2, 2018 Academic Affairs Council (AAC) meeting.
7. Coordination: On May 2, 2018, the AAC voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Stage II requests for review by the Chancellor’s Cabinet and advance to the SBHE for approval/denial.
8. Attachments: The Stage II requests are attached.
9. Contact information: Richard M. Rothaus, Ph.D., Vice Chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs, NDUS. Ph: 701-328-4136/email: [email protected].
10. Chancellor’s recommendation: Approve

Summary of Proposed Action ND State Board of Higher Education Meeting – May 23, 2018
1. Issue: Mayville State University (MaSU) has submitted a Stage II request to create a new academic division: Division of Nursing.
2. Proposed actions: Approve/deny the Stage II request of MaSU create a new academic division: Division of Nursing.
3. Background information: MaSU is presently organized in a manner that has the Nursing program located within the Division of Science and Mathematics. The new division aligns with future growth of MaSU’s Nursing program and the future expansion of the health sciences academic programs.
4. Financial implications: None cited.
5. Legal/policy issues: State Board of Higher Education (SBHE) Policy 307.1 Institutional Organization Notice and Approval states: “1. Board approval is required to create, discontinue or name a school, college, center or institute. Institutions shall submit such requests, along with rationale and supporting information, to the Chancellor and the Chancellor shall forward the proposal to the Board with a recommendation.”
“2. As used in this policy, ‘center or institute’ means a unit that has as a primary function or activity academic instruction, research, or service beyond the immediate campus community. The terms do not include space designations, or units that simply have the word ‘center’ in their title, or units that provide non-academic services, such as dining centers.”
6. Academic issues: No academic issues were raised at the May 2, 2018 Academic Affairs Council (AAC) meeting.
7. Coordination: On May 2, 2018, the AAC voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Stage II request for review by the Chancellor’s Cabinet and advance to the SBHE for approval/denial.
