Ms. Foster reported on the Advancement Committee meeting of January 18, 2001. · Alumni Association Update Mr. Ron Amos provided an update on alumni activity. Mr. Amos is the incoming president of the Association. The African American Alumni Society Event and the Financial Aid Seminar were a success. The Association's upcoming College Outstanding Alumni Awards Brunch & Alumni Day in February will honor many recipients including Gail Littlejohn. One of this year's goals is to increase membership while retaining current members. Ms. Littlejohn noted that a retention plan devised by the Alumni Association is to be presented at the next meeting. · Overview of Foundation Investments Mr. Bob Batson gave an overview of the Foundation investments. He reviewed the schedule of investments for the pooled and endowment funds and stated that both of these categories are on target. The Foundation's Investment Committee is considering hedge funds as an alternative investment.

Ms. Littlejohn stated that this was a good start and hoped that a more detailed report will be forthcoming at the next meeting.
Ms. Jennifer Wilder presented the new Development web site. This site will serve many purposes including sharing information about campaign priorities; educating the public about the WSU Foundation, planned giving program, and matching gift program among others; and will serve as a vehicle for alumni to communicate with WSU. Within the first 60 days, there has already been excitement about the site with more than 150 hits, several online gifts and approximately 50 alumni updating their profiles. As the web site is part of a multi-tiered strategy for communicating information about WSU's campaign, it is important that the site share the graphic identity of other printed materials. Therefore, the campaign folder, brochure, and campaign edition of Community Magazine were shared with the committee. Mr. Jenkins reported on the Building and Grounds Committee meeting of January 18, 2002. · Construction Project Options Mr. Timothy Thoroughman presented an overview of: 1) The advantages to state universities in being able to "locally" administer state construction projects and 2) advantages, disadvantages and definitions of various construction delivery methods and pricing options, many of which are not currently permitted by state law. · Construction Projects Status Report Mr. Thoroughman presented an update of the major construction projects in process at the university. The Millett Hall project is moving along smoothly and the 3rd and 4th floors are near completion. There was a tour of the building following the public board meeting on February 1st.
Mr. Adams, chair reported on the committee meeting of January 18, 2002.

This presentation showed that Wright State is spending a conservative amount on graduate aid in relation to peer institutions and market demands. · Mr. Ulliman reviewed the new financial reporting format for GASB 34/35. He noted during his presentation that the new methods of financial reporting would not have adverse effects on the Senate Bill 6 ratios. Ms. Langdon stated that the new method of reporting was easier to follow and more in tune with what is seen in the private sector. 1. Student Fee Increase In Dr. Filipic's budget update he stated that Wright State was already operating on a lean budget prior to this year's budget cuts. The budget cuts from last summer and fall total $12 million. Dr. Filipic noted that the tuition increase proposed for spring quarter would generate an additional $900,000 in revenues. Dr. Filipic, President Goldenberg, and Dr. Abrahamowicz recently met with student government to discuss the possible tuition increase. Dr. Filipic was impressed with the level of understanding demonstrated by the student leaders. Mr. Duiker, Student Government president, stated that while the students were not happy about the increase, they did understand the need for the increase. Mr. Duiker noted that it is important for the administration to continue to communicate why these increases are needed. The committee recommended approval of the resolution for a student fee increase effective spring quarter 2002 that would include a 4% increase for undergraduate and graduate students and an 8% increase for medical students. RESOLUTION 02-22 WHEREAS, it is imperative that the university maintain the quality of its educational programs; and WHEREAS, funding from the state of Ohio has been significantly reduced; and WHEREAS, the university has reduced annual operating budgets by $12.2 million; and WHEREAS, funding from the state of Ohio is not anticipated to increase significantly during the next fiscal year; and WHEREAS, the Ohio General Assembly has authorized fee increases; therefore be it RESOLVED that Main and Lake Campus full-time undergraduate tuition and fees for spring quarter 2002 be increased over those for winter quarter 2002 by 4%; and be it further RESOLVED that Main and Lake Campus full-time graduate tuition and fees for spring quarter 2002 be increased over those for winter quarter 2002 by 4%; and be it further RESOLVED that full-time professional fees for the School of Professional Psychology for spring quarter 2002 be increased over those for winter quarter 2002 by 4%; and be it further RESOLVED that full-time professional fees for the School of Medicine for spring quarter 2002 be increased over those for winter quarter 2002 by 8%; and be it further RESOLVED that this resolution supersedes 01-37 dated April 6, 2001 and 01-57 dated June 8, 2001; and be it further RESOLVED that the revised student fee and charge increases as noted herein and attached and now before the Board of Trustees be and hereby are approved.

Mr. Adams moved for approval. Mr. Young seconded, and the motion was unanimously approved by roll call vote. · Report of the Vice President The university has experienced a 4% increase in winter enrollment. There has been an increase in headcount as well as credit hours. The university is working closely with IUC on the issue of insurance premiums. These premiums are expected to grow. Mr. Ralston is working with a committee on the state-level to help estimate the cost of distance learning. This committee will also be looking at the other benefits of distance learning. The university will be participating in the Delaware Study, which will evaluate our faculty productivity in relation to other institutions. The university is working with a bond-rating specialist for a "quick look" into a rating from Moody's. This "quick look" will give an assessment of what the university's bond rating might be and the sensitivity of that rating. Mr. Diggs suggested that the university may want to include a board member in the endeavor and Mr. Adams volunteered to work with the university.
Mr. Jenkins reported on the committee meeting of January 18, 2002. · Vice-President's Report Dr. Dan Abrahamowicz described the women's basketball game on December 31 against the University of Connecticut as a wonderful event and a "defining moment" for women's athletics at WSU. Parent's Weekend will be held on February 1-3. The event connects students and their parents to the campus community and will include a basketball doubleheader and a breakfast hosted by President and Mrs. Goldenberg, among other activities. Enrollment for winter 2002 quarter is up over 4%, both in headcount and credit hours. The Office of Career Services will be sponsoring an Education Fair that will involve over 70 school districts, 300 students, and 1,000 interviews. · Faculty Representative Report Dr. Margaret Graham reported that calendar changes have been the primary focus of the Faculty Senate Student Affairs Committee and that the students have done an excellent job gathering information and informing the faculty on the issue. The next initiative will involve a review of the petitioning process and how it might be improved. · Orientation Updates Mr. John Siehl discussed Nutter Center operations and the ways in which they are striving to increase revenue. In the past, 40% of revenue came from concerts. That has dropped to around 29%. It is expected to drop further in the September 11 aftermath, as many performers are canceling tours. The Dayton Bombers are doing very well and the center is attempting to bring more youth athletic groups to campus, among others. Re-negotiated contracts with food service and ticketmaster have resulted in additional revenue. The Nutter Center has also worked closely with the university to increase the presence of Wright State in the Nutter Center. Approximately 100,000 high school students pass through the center in any given year, affording WSU an excellent marketing opportunity. · Student Government President's Report Mr. Neal Duiker, president of Student Government, reported that the major issue in recent weeks has been the proposed mid-year tuition increases. Student Government has been working closely with the administration as to the best way to inform students and gain their acceptance of the increases. Other issues continue to be online elections, course evaluations, and online book swaps. Due to the prohibitive cost of hiring an outside vendor to provide the online elections, they are exploring the possibility of WSU doing it in-house. Student Government has also been working with Student Life and Student Employment to analyze and resolve inequities with regard to stipends for student organization leaders. Mr. Jenkins commended the students on their intense and sophisticated discussion of the fee increase issue. He also mentioned that the Board is looking at the role of student activities and student affairs in increasing alumni support. · Other Mr. Mike Schulze, University Planner, outlined the new food service venue under construction in the student union. It will consolidate food service into two major locations: the Hangar in Allyn and the Marketplace in the Student Union. The new concept will broaden the variety of campus food service. Construction began on December 17 and will be completed for fall 2002. The convenience store will move to the Honors Building. Chuck Porter, Sodexho Alliance, stated that WSU might have the first virtual convenience store that will allow students to order online. Ms. Kathy Morris provided background on the Recreation/Health & Wellness Facility project. There has been a significant increase in interest on the part of the university community in such a facility since the original Student Union Fitness Center was built. In 1998, the university assessed current interests and needs, evaluated existing programs, and developed a plan to meet both current and projected health and recreation needs. The consulting firm of Brailsford & Dunlavey conducted a market analysis that included focus groups and an online survey of students. Nearly 1,600 students participated in the survey. Results showed that 90% of the students were in favor of the project and 84% were willing to pay $50-$100/quarter for it. Student Affairs and the administration are continuing discussion of the facility. Mr. Dan Bertsos, Residence Services, gave an update on the issue of housing. He especially focused on future housing possibilities and incremental addition of spaces. The various housing options for increasing the number of residential beds were discussed. Ms. Morris is chairing a small group charged with reviewing and making specific recommendations with regard to a possible first step with the Forest Lane complex. Mr. Jenkins noted that he and Dr. Abrahamowicz discussed divisional strategic objectives and various measures used in assessment. He suggested that this may be a part of a future Student Affairs Committee meeting.
