(4)Implement an effective marketing plan and strengthen development and alumni programs. (5)Provide leadership to develop a campus environment that reflects the diversity of the region and promotes multiculturism and international understanding.
B.Fall Enrollment Report In the area of enrollment, Dr. Abrahamowicz gave a initial report stating that the figures may still change. The retention rate from freshman to sophomore year is 72%, which is the highest in WSU history. Last year ’s rate of retention was 70%, and in 1996 it was 67%. Enrollment of new freshman is up 5%, and overall enrollment of continuing students is up 1%. The residence halls are 104% of capacity. For undergraduate that translates into good news. Undergraduate enrollment is up 3/10%. However, graduate school enrollment has decreased 10%. Overall Wright State’s enrollment is down by 2-1/2%. This reflects what is going on around the state, especially the phenomenon of freshman classes being rather large and the graduate numbers being down.

! Charlene Cape, an MBA student, won the national Graduate Student Leadership Award from the Society for Human Resource Management Foundation.

XI.REPORTS OF THE COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD
A.Academic Affairs Committee The Academic Affairs Committee did not meet.
B.Advancement Committee Mr. Adams reported on the Advancement Committee meeting of September 23, 1998. The following topics were discussed: $ Foundation UpdateThe chairs of each committee were announced: Nominating Committee chair, Mr. Alexander Williams; Development Committee chair, Mr. Robert Mills; and, Finance and Audit Committee chair, Mr. Jerome Sutton. The Foundation created a new committee this year to handle the Foundation’s investments. The new Investment Committee was split off of the Finance and Audit Committee and is chaired by Mr. Les Banwart. One major challenge facing the Foundation is searching for individuals to fill the vacancies at the Foundation. The FY ‘98 total is $5.3 million, however, after taking out two major bequests that were received (Oma K. Sells and Vera T. Schneider) the total is $3.1 million. It was suggested that the college deans at Wright State become more involved in fund raising for their schools. It was further stated that Wright State still needs to get the job done, even with development staff shortages. The goals were set by discussions with the deans concerning the projects that needed to be funded in their area. Annual giving money based on giving history was then added on to these amounts. _The committee discussed in great detail the importance of setting realistic goals, but also to make the goals challenging. It was agreed by the committee that the $4 million goal should be accepted on an interim basis. Due to Dr. Harley Flack’s death, and subsequent leadership changes, the capital campaign that was being planned has been put on hold. Mr. Adams feels that the Grezenbach plan can still be used. Ms. Butler agreed to summarize the Grezenbach study for the committee. It was further discussed that a new and more aggressive marketing effort is needed, as well as recruiting new volunteers from the community and increasing alumni participation. All of these steps are important in preparing for a successful campaign. A draft of a new donor recognition policy the Foundation Board is working on was presented. A major change in this policy is the acknowledgment of pledges. The previous policy was to admit donors to the giving societies based on cash gifts. In the draft of the new policy, donors will be acknowledged upon receipt of a signed pledge card. This policy gives a donor immediate recognition of their pledge. ! Alumni Relations UpdateThe alumni relations director gave the Advancement Committee an update on current and future alumni activities and goals. _Mr. Adams asked Ms. Smith about participation of alumni in annual giving. Ms. Smith estimated that $200,000 was raised from alumni and most of that came from the telemarketing efforts. Ms. Smith hopes to raise dollar amounts and participation rates of alumni. ! University UpdateThe committee was informed that the search for the vice president for university advancement has started. A firm that specializes in development searches has been hired to conduct the search. Letters have been sent by the firm, and the search committee should start seeing resumes by the middle of October. Ms. Stephanie Smith, the new director of annual giving, will start Monday, September 28, and Mr. Kirk Winter, assistant director of annual giving, started in July. Interviews for the two vacant senior development officer positions are being held this week; the job description for the research manager position is being reviewed with the expectation that it will be posted by mid-October. Interviews are also being held this week to fill the records analyst position. These positions will be filled by the end of October. Ms. Butler updated the committee on prospective major gifts. At this time there is a proposal in process to the Kettering Fund for the School of Medicine. Dr. James Brandeberry has created a $25 million development plan for the College of Engineering and Computer Science. The Baseball Stadium plans are nearing completion. An additional $400,000 to $500,000 needs to be raised before construction can begin. The development staff is searching for additional donors to complete the funding for this project. ! Trustee SolicitationTrustee and Board participation in the Annual Giving Program is extremely important. The goal this year is to obtain 100% participation. In the past, there has not been an appeal which involved the Trustees. Mr. Allread will organize this effort. ! Advancement CommentsWright State has several challenges facing it, one of which is to re-educate the community with regard to Wright State ’s mission, as well as the many programs and initiatives which have a positive impact on our region. It is equally important that we educate our Board members (University, Alumni and Foundation) since they are best positioned to be the most effective ambassadors for the university.It was suggested that we consider re-establishing the presidential breakfast meeting which reached out to our local and regional constituencies. The deans need to increase their presence and contact with Board members and certainly the community at large. Wright State continues to be one of the Miami Valley ’s best kept secrets.C.Building and Grounds Mr. Soin, chair, reported on the Building and Grounds Committee meeting of September 30, 1998. The following topics were discussed: ! Capital Projects Status ReportAn overview of the Access Circulation project, the New Academic Building, the IDTL classroom project, the Fred White Building ceiling and the final phase of Fawcett Hall renovation done in the basement was presented. Phase II and III of the Access Circulation project included several critical elements to be completed by September 11, 1998. All milestones were completed on schedule. Currently, the New Academic Building is three weeks behind schedule primarily due to the wet spring weather. By working overtime, this time period has been shortened, and the goal is to continue the overtime needed to finish the project according to the original completion date. All claims for weather related delays have been submitted. These totaled $376,000 initially and have been negotiated to $120,000. It is anticipated that this figure may be reduced to $60,000 and will be funded through the contingency. The sculpture ATurning Points@ by David Black is being erected on-site. The piece is constructed of aluminum; the concrete support columns will be covered with granite. The art work is funded through a 1% line item in the total project budget. The state legislature mandates that 1% of the construction cost be used for public art.The primary purpose of the Fawcett Hall Phase IV renovation project was to complete the fire suppression system. This project also included general remodeling of one classroom and new research lab space for Dr. Wayne Carmichael. ! The Building and Grounds AgendaThe annual agenda for the Building and Grounds Committee is attached. ! Other BusinessWSU is negotiating an agreement with AMS to build more student housing in response to the increase in recruiting. These units would be designed as apartment style, the type most requested by students for the past few years. The agreement would provide for 420 beds to be built over the next 10 years. The location would be along Zink Road, contiguous to Wright State University property. D.Finance and Audit Ms. Achterman reported on the Finance and Audit Committee meeting of September 28, 1998. ! Management Letter RecommendationsDeloitte & Touche is in the process of completing the audit with the last day of field work on October 2. As part of their audit each year, they look at the internal controls of the university, primarily the financial systems and computer systems. There were no material weaknesses and no reportable conditions. Comments that will be included in their formal management letter will be made available in a couple of weeks. Included will be discussions regarding a formalized fraud and management misconduct policy, better controls over fixed assets, procurement card usage, Year 2000 compliance, and information security over the mainframe. ! Alternative Retirement ProgramThe university’s obligations under the new law and time frame for implementation were reviewed. This information was shared with the committee for their information and consideration for the next Finance and Audit Committee meeting. The Alternative Retirement Program (ARP) was pursued statewide by university officials to recruit out-of-state employees who wish to continue to contribute to their current defined contribution retirement plan. Full-time academic and administrative employees with less than five years of service credit in either of the traditional retirement systems (PERS or STRS) will have a one-time opportunity to discontinue their membership and join the Alternative Retirement Plan. In March 1997, House Bill 586 required all Ohio public institutions of higher education to offer the alternative retirement plan. Eight vendors were selected by the Department of Insurance. Eligible employees are those who are currently employed at least 75% FTE with less than five years of service credit, or academic and administrative employees who will be hired once the alternative retirement program is implemented. There will be no additional cost to the university. The Board of Trustees will be asked at the December 4 meeting to adopt a resolution to implement the ARP at Wright State University. The resolution that will be presented at that time will allow the university to enter into the contract with eight carriers and will set the contribution levels which Wright State will adopt for each participating employee. Faculty will receive 8% contribution from Wright State and for unclassified staff, 7.31% will be contributed (current levels funded to STRS and PERS). Eligible faculty and staff will have 120 days from the date the resolution is adopted to select the ARP or remain under the current system. Newly hired employees (after December 4) will have 90 days from their hire date to select a plan. There are several differences between ARP and the traditional plans currently offered by the state of Ohio. The employees who remain in STRS or PERS will have access to disability benefits and employer sponsored retirement incentive plans. Health care coverage for retirees will include lifetime pension and continuing lifetime benefits to survivors. The main benefits to employees under the ARP are the full, vested portion of their account balance upon leaving the university, and the ability to potentially earn more than the Public Retirement Plans because they choose how the account is invested. An aggressive communications plan has been developed pending adoption by the full Board at the December meeting. ! Audited Financial Statements, FY >98The university ’s draft financial statements (balance sheets and operating statement) were reviewed. Highlights were:
! Unrestricted General Fund: An increase in cash and investments due to an increase in liabilities and a decrease in loans to other funds!

Year 2000 Progress - UpdateA document entitled, AWright State University Year 2000 Project Status as of 9/28/98" was distributed to the committee. This document shows pie graphs of the project status for all CaTS’ systems, applications, supported systems and software. It was reported that the university is on schedule to have all administrative applications Year 2000 compliant by fall of 1999. It was explained that a number of the applications do not have to be compliant prior to March 2000. All applications have been prioritized as to when they need to be in production. A task force has been charged to establish an inventory of distribution applications. Nineteen coordinators have been trained and are responsible for conducting departmental and college inventories. The inventories will be completed by October 15, and this data will determine the next steps to be taken. In addition, a site license software agreement is being finalized with Microsoft which will enable the university to upgrade all operating systems and applications in the Microsoft Office and language suites at no cost to the depart |
