President Koob introduced Dean Switzer to introduce three important principals in the Slovakian Project. Dean Switzer described the Slovakian Project and then introduced Tomas Kozik, Anna Koprdova, Maria Dudakova, and their interpreter Katarina Cockrell. President Newlin welcomed the Slovakian Project representatives to the Board of Regents meeting. President Newlin recognized Provost Marlin. Provost Marlin stated that she had some good news that she wanted to share with the Board members. She said University of Northern Iowa officials take great pride in the university’s accounting program. Last week university officials received data on the pass rate from May’s administration of the CPA exam. She said the pass rate for all sections for first-time exam takers nationally is only 13.5 percent. The pass rate of the University of Northern Iowa candidates was 34.3 percent which ranks the university 9th nationally in terms of the pass rate. Provost Marlin congratulated the faculty and students. President Newlin congratulated all of those involved in the success on the CPA exam. He said the recognition was wonderful. 107 GENERAL September 10, 1997 APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF BOARD MEETING OF JULY 22-23, 1997. The Board Office recommended the Board approve the minutes. President Newlin asked for additions or corrections to the minutes. ACTION: President Newlin stated the Board approved the minutes of the July 22-23, 1997, meeting, as written, by general consent. CONSENT ITEMS. The Board Office recommended the Board approve the consent docket, as follows: Ratify personnel transactions at the Regent institutions, as presented; Receive affiliated organization report on the ISU Stanton Memorial Carillon Foundation; Receive the report of the July meeting of the Iowa College Student Aid Commission; Approve the appointment of Daniel J. Reschly, Interim Associate Dean of Education, to fulfill one year vacancies on the Iowa School for the Deaf and Iowa Braille and Sight Saving School Advisory Committees; Approve the Board meetings schedule; Approve the ISD-AEA 13 Employment Agreement for Speech Language Pathology; and Approve the umbrella agreement between the Loess Hills Area Education Agency (AEA 13), the Lewis Central Community School District, and the Iowa School for the Deaf. Regent Lande referred to the report of the Iowa College Student Aid Commission. He questioned the $10 million increase in appropriations from 1997 to 1999. How much of the $10 million increase is legislatively mandated and how much is something over which the Regents have any discretion? Mr. Richey responded that the Iowa College Student Aid Commission report presented proposals by the staff for the commission to request of the Governor and General Assembly. He said the $1.4 million for the National Guard Tuition Assistance Program was the result of action taken in the last legislative session. The only other program of 108 GENERAL September 10, 1997 significance was the Tuition Grant Program which has been on track for the last 3 years for increases of approximately $3 million per year because the program suffered almost no increase for a number of years in the late-1980s and early-1990s. Regent Lande asked who are the loan administrators. Mr. Richey responded that United Student Aid Funds has been administering the program under contract for a number of years. It does all of the computer work, determines eligibility, etc. Regent Lande asked if the 10 percent for loan administration was of the total amount. He noted that only two of the categories of appropriations requested were listed as loans. Mr. Richey responded that it was 10 percent of the amount of the Federal Guaranteed Student Loans actually issued. Those funds are paid out directly by the federal government and do not go through the accounts of the Iowa College Student Aid Commission. A portion of the earnings can be kept by the commission for administration of the program. A very large part of the 10 percent loan administration cost is for the contract with the United Student Aid Funds. Regent Lande said it appeared that there were not many of the expenditures over which the Board of Regents has control. Mr. Richey responded that the Board of Regents has no control over the funds. The report of the Iowa College Student Aid Commission is an information item. The Board of Regents has one member on the Iowa College Student Aid Commission. MOTION: Regent Arenson moved to approve the consent docket, as presented. Regent Ahrens seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. INTERINSTITUTIONAL COMMITTEE ON EDUCATIONAL COORDINATION. (a) Post- Audit, Middle School/Jr. High School Education-University of Northern Iowa. The Board Office recommended the Board receive the post-audit report for the Bachelor of Arts Major in Middle School/Junior High School Education at the University of Northern Iowa and approve the continuance of the program. The post-audit report on the B.A. in Middle School/Junior High Education indicated that the program has successfully met the various objectives of the program that were established at the time that the program was initially approved by the Board of Regents. MOTION: Regent Arenson moved to receive the post-audit report for the Bachelor of Arts Major in Middle School/Junior High School Education at the University of Northern Iowa and approve the continuance of the program. Regent Fisher 109 GENERAL September 10, 1997 seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. (b) Post-Audit, B.A. in Russian - University of Northern Iowa. The Board Office recommended the Board receive the post-audit report for the Bachelor of Arts Major in Russian at the University of Northern Iowa and approve the continuance of the program. The B.A. in Russian program meets or exceeds expectations for the program at the time of its initial approval. Enrollments, costs, and quality are consistent with initial expectations. MOTION: Regent Arenson moved to receive the post-audit report for the Bachelor of Arts Major in Russian at the University of Northern Iowa and approve the continuance of the program. Regent Smith seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. PRELIMINARY REPORT ON FALL 1997 ENROLLMENT TRENDS. The Board Office recommended the Board receive the report. University of Iowa Undergraduate enrollments at the University of Iowa are expected to be up slightly. Graduate enrollments are expected to be down as part of enrollment management. Professional student enrollments should remain stable. Iowa State University Iowa State University enrollments are expected to be 1.5 - 2 percent greater than last fall’s enrollment. Iowa State University officials attribute its increase to a strong increase in new freshmen, a modest increase in new transfer students, and increased retention of continuing undergraduates. While undergraduate enrollments should increase, the number of graduate students is expected to decline. With greater attention to student retention and new student recruitment, Iowa State University officials expect to see modest enrollment increases for the next three years. University of Northern Iowa 110 GENERAL September 10, 1997 University of Northern Iowa officials expect its third consecutive year of enrollment gains. University of Northern Iowa officials noted that increased retention among undergraduates and increased numbers of new transfers and graduate students account for most of the expected increase. University of Northern Iowa expects to report a slight decline in new freshmen. Projections are for continued slow growth through the end of this decade. Future enrollment increases are contained in strategic initiatives of the University of Northern Iowa to increase minority student enrollments and to increase the number of international students on campus.
