C. Building and Grounds Committee

Mr. Soin, chair reported on the Building and Grounds Committee meeting of September 21, 2001.

1. Capital Plan 2003-2008

A joint meeting was held with Building and Grounds and also Finance and Audit to review the capital plan while in draft form. After board approval, the plan will be sent to the Board of Regents. A significant point about this plan is that it recognizes that the university has reached an age that requires that the nature of its capital spending change; a number of our older buildings have systems that are reaching the end of their useful lives. Therefore, an important fraction of our capital spending has to be spent on renewing what we have rather than on expanding the plant (Attachment 1).

RESOLUTION 02-8

RESOLVED that the Capital Improvements Plan for the period 2003-2008 as submitted to this meeting be and the same hereby is approved.

Mr. Jenkins moved for approval. Ms. Langdon seconded, and the motion was carried by roll call.

WHEREAS, Time Warner Entertainment Company has agreed to a lease term of twenty-five (25) years with two (2) successive renewals, each for a term of twenty-five (25) years.

RESOLVED that the Time Warner Entertainment Company Lease, as submitted to this meeting be and the same hereby is approved by the Wright State University Board of Trustees.

RESOLVED that the Board of County Commissioners for Montgomery County, Ohio, Easement, as submitted to this meeting be and the same hereby is approved by the Wright State University Board of Trustees.

Mr. Jenkins moved for approval. Mr. Palmer seconded, and the motion was carried by roll call vote.

· Electric Substation

Ms. Davidson explained that the university is continuing to study alternatives to lessen the impact of utility increases. One such project, construction of an electric substation, was presented. After recouping the initial investment, the purchase of electric at a higher voltage would generate annual savings for the university. The committee recommended that the university continue with the investigation of feasibility and share the financial implications with the Finance and Audit Committee at their next meeting.

· Draft Agenda

The agenda for fiscal year 2001-2002 committee meetings was distributed.

D. Finance and Audit Committee

l Ms. Mitter briefly reviewed the draft management letter comments and Mr. Ulliman gave the university's response to each of the items.

l Mr. Ulliman reviewed the draft financial statements with the committee.

l Dr. Filipic briefly reviewed the capital plan matrix that was covered during the special committee discussion that occurred on August 27th. He stated that while we are a relatively young campus, some of our buildings have reached an age when their systems are in need of attention. Many of the capital expenditures will not be obvious to the occupants, as they will involve the building systems

l Mr. Ulliman reviewed the student health insurance contract that will be over $500,000. This contract involves an annual amount that will be billed to the students. This contract includes a slightly lower premium and a slightly higher level of coverage.

Life Insurance Insurance

Mr. Adams motioned for approval. Mr. Young seconded, and the motion was approved by roll call vote.

l Mr. Ulliman reviewed the contracts $250,000-$499,999. No action by the committee was required.

· Mr. Ulliman reviewed the investment reports for the university. He stated that our investments have been fairly consistent and have been at or above the benchmark indices.

l Dr. Filipic reviewed the proposed Finance and Audit agenda for 2001-2002. Ms. Littlejohn and Mr. Jenkins both stated that there is a need for additional agenda items or additional meetings to discuss the strategic questions that were raised during the special meetings this summer.

l Dr. Filipic presented his report outlining major projects or issues facing the university. Some of the highlights of his report follow:

1. The university was faced with the task of reducing the base budget by $7 million due to a reduction in state support. Each college and division submitted plans by the end of July. All but two areas submitted plans for both years of the biennium. The reduction in spending was less painful than expected because colleges and divisions had already begun streamlining and reengineering their operation. The resulting savings, which might otherwise have been reinvested in the university or permitted smaller tuition increases, are instead needed to comply with state budget cuts. We are now at work identifying further efficiencies. We hope that these savings will not be needed to absorb future state budget cuts.

2. The Division of Business and Fiscal Affairs has begun reviewing possible cost savings opportunities in the area of support staffing. They recently negotiated a contract with Belcan staffing services that will allow access to more reliable temporary help and generate a savings as a benefit of being a large customer of the firm. This contract will generate approximately $50,000 a year in savings. We hope that this contract will provide university offices with quality service, so that peak workload can be met with temporary help rather than permanent staff.

3. The mailroom has also gone to once-a-day mail deliveries, which will cut costs.

4. A project involving an electrical substation is currently in the planning process. This project will cost the university $2.0 million to build; however it will generate a yearly savings of approximately $250,000.

5. The university has decided that it will not pursue a self-funded insurance plan opportunity this year, but will re-evaluate this opportunity on an annual basis.

6. The bids on the Student Union Marketplace project will be coming in soon. (Bids were opened on 9/25/01. They were below estimates.) A Chick-Fil-A venue has been added to the Hangar and has been very successful.

7. The state's revenue has been below estimates for the first two months of the fiscal year. The recent Supreme Court decision regarding K-12 funding will cost the state an additional $1.2 million. The governor is expected to ask the court to reconsider its decision and Dr. Filipic stated he expects this discussion to go on for some time. The events of last week will probably affect consumer spending and will reduce sales tax revenues. A mid-year state budget cut is possible.

8. Dr. Filipic stated that he is serving on a state funding committee through the Board of Regents. He is also serving on a committee for Greene County to review the county's operations and to increase community support to change state law regarding funding.

9. The state is encouraging universities to share administrative systems, particularly information systems to cut down the large expenditure of upgrading systems at each university. We intend to consider this option carefully as we plan new systems.

10. There remains a problem with the university cost for health insurance coverage for employees. For the time being, the university is looking at increasing the co-pays for non-bargaining unit employees to offset the cost.

E. Student Affairs Committee

Mr. Jenkins reported on the committee meeting of September 21, 2001.

· Student Government President's Report

Mr. Neil Duiker, president
Mr. Arthur Williams, Jr., vice president

A new judicial branch will be added to the Student Government (SG) organizational chart. The chief justice will work closely with the Office of Judicial Affairs to address election disputes and other student organization disputes.

SG collaborated with members of the faculty and administration to develop and present programs in response to the events of September 11, 2001. A candlelight vigil was held on the evening of September 17th, and a community dialogue, led by faculty from the Department of political science, took place on September 20th.

In response to board member questions regarding the campus reaction to the attack and the university's resulting actions, Dr. Dan Abrahamowicz briefly described the group process that resulted in the postponement of the start of classes and the support systems set in motion to assist students and concerned parents. He especially noted the university program during the nationwide Day of Remembrance on September 14th. Numerous university departments collaborated on an excellent program that included an address by President Goldenberg.

SG members met with representatives from the Office of Disability Services and the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs to insure that no additional fee for toileting services would be implemented for this year.

SG representatives will travel to Ohio State University the weekend of September 22nd for a meeting of the Ohio Council of Student Governments.

SG leadership has been invited to attend an upcoming meeting of the Faculty Senate. SG expects to provide an update on the course evaluation process, and to introduce a suggested modification to the academic calendar that would end the fall term at the Thanksgiving break.

Vice-President's Report

Dr. Abrahamowicz distributed the organizational chart for the division of Student Affairs & Enrollment Services along with a copy of the divisional mission statements. He noted that the basic purpose of the division is to advance and support the educational mission of the university.

Dr. Bob Rando, director of the Center for Psychological Services, provided an overview of the center and its services, and explained its relationship to the School of Professional Psychology and the Division of Student Affairs & Enrollment Services. He outlined the increases over the past four years in several services areas, which include the following: new intakes (up 70% to 423); crisis contacts (up 158% to 116); assessment hours (up 104% to 206); and therapy hours (up 42% to 2,262).

A proposal to revise the fee structure for student counseling sessions and assessments was presented, resulting in a lengthy discussion among those present. Mr. Jenkins accepted a motion to approve the portion of the proposal that provides students with up to 12 sessions per year at no cost, and charges students without WSU student health insurance a fee if $10 per session beginning with session 13. His motion also included a recommendation that action be deferred on the proposed charges for the assessments. The motion was seconded by Mr. Tom Young and approved by the committee.

Ms. Cathy Davis, director of Undergraduate Admissions, stated that interim reports indicate that student enrollment and student credit hours are up over last year. Actual numbers will be confirmed in the 14th day report. She also reported that the percentage of direct from high school students living in campus housing has increased this year to 56% (1,132) from 48% (977) in the previous year.

Ms. Davis outlined the success indicators of incoming students that are tracked by Undergraduate Admissions, including high school gpa, class rank, valedictorian/salutatorian and ACT composite scores.

Dr. Dan Bertsos, director of Residence Services, presented a pictorial summary of the successful residence hall Move-In on September 10th, and acknowledged the volunteer efforts of faculty, staff, administrators and board members. He also included graphics demonstrating the continuing growth of the university's residential population, particularly among first-year students. He reported that the East Wing of the Honors Building opened for 96 students this fall, and that plans are in place to open the West Wing for winter term 2002.

F. Student Trustees' Report

· Ms. Brittany Stewart reported from the student's perspective that the academic year got off to a very good start.
· Ms. Stewart thanked everyone (administrators and students) for all the initiatives put into place in dealing with the tragedy of September 11th. It helped promote unity throughout the campus as well as healing.

G. Faculty President's Report

· Dr. Virginia Nehring, faculty president reported that the General Education Committee is looking at how it will implement the new GE courses. The committee will have the report ready by May 2002. The implementation date is fall 2003.
· The Athletic Council recommends faculty consider mandatory class absences of athletes, due to required commitments, be excused and alternatives provided. Some faculty feel athletes get special privileges already.
· The University Budget Review Committee focused on compensation, especially regarding adjunct faculty low salaries. Faculty is also concerned with the growth of non-instructional vs. instructional expenses.
