IX. REPORTS OF THE COMMITTEES
OF THE BOARD
A. Academic
Affairs Committee
á Report
of the Provost
Due to the hard work and determination
of our faculty and staff, the university received the largest annual
recorded total of external funding in WSUÕs history Ð 570 awards
totally $50,462,293.
The Ohio Department of Education selected
WSU as one of the first two Ohio charter colleges of education.
The university will receive $375,000 in federal funding to train
working adults to become teachers in math, science, foreign languages,
and special education and to place them in school districts that
need them the most. We have received more than 500 inquiries from
candidates interested in the 45 spots available.
The University LibrariesÕ Special Collections
and Archives received the 2004 Combs Award from the National Aviation
Hall of Fame. The $20,000 award was presented for Special Collections
and ArchivesÕ work in promoting the centennial of powered flight
locally, nationally, and internationally during 2001-2003.
In preparation for the NCA accreditation
team visit May 15-17, 2005, the university is currently conducting
a comprehensive self-study to determine how well it is meeting
the new accreditation criteria set by the North Central Association
of Colleges and Schools.
The American Sociology Association selected
Dr. Jeanne Ballantine, professor of sociology, for one of eight
nationwide awards for distinguished contributions to teaching.
She is the first WSU faculty member to receive the ASA national
honor.
We are moving forward with a prioritized
list of recommendations proposed by the University Classroom of
the Future Committee. Funds have been allocated to convert ten
additional classrooms to electronic rooms in time for winter quarter
2005; to establish a permanent classroom repair fund; and to create
a permanent classroom technology replacement budget.
After 35 years of service, Dean James Brandeberry will
retire June 30, 2005. His effective leadership has positioned
the college for continued excellence and an exciting future.
The search for the next dean of the College of Engineering and
Computer Science is underway. Dean Mary Ellen Mazey is chairing
the search committee. We anticipate campus interviews in January
of 2005.
á Student
Academic Success Indicators
Provost David Hopkins discussed university activities
that are conducted to monitor student academic success. Student
outcome assessments are in place for each academic major. Each
plan identifies measures that will assess whether students are
successfully achieving the intended outcomes, and commits to
a process whereby assessment findings lead to improvement.
Student surveys are administered on a regular basis.
The Entering Student Questionnaire is given during summer orientation
each year and the Student Satisfaction Inventory is administered
to a random sample of students in alternating spring quarters.
The Exit Survey is administered to graduating seniors to assess
students' satisfaction with various administrative offices, the
quality of education at Wright State University, and if students
feel prepared in the many skills needed for today's society.
In addition, many programs assess employer evaluations of our
graduates.
Retention rates and graduation rates are common quantifying
indicators of student success. Our fall 2004 first year retention
rate is 72%, 71% for African-American students. Dr. Lillie Howard,
vice president for Curriculum and Instruction and dean of the
University College, reported that 6-year graduation rates have
increased by approximately 9% from 1987 to 1997. In addition,
6-year graduation rates for African-American students have increased
20% during the same time period.
1. Master
of Arts in International and Comparative Politics
Dr. Jay Thomas, vice president for Research
and dean of Graduate Studies, and Dr. Donna Schlagheck, chair,
Department of Political Sciences, presented the proposal for a
Master of Arts in International and Comparative Politics. The program
has been offered as a track in International and Comparative Studies
in Wright StateÕs Applied Behavioral Science M.A. program for the
past three years. With the discontinuation of the International
Relations program at UD, our track remains the only such program
in the Dayton metropolitan area. Growth in the track justifies
the request for a degree designation change pursuant to RACGSÕ Guidelines
and Procedures for Reviews and Approval of Graduate Degree Programs.
The transition to an independent program will require only modest
changes.
RESOLUTION
05-8
WHEREAS, the Department of Political
Science has a strong commitment to faculty excellence in international
politics; and
WHEREAS, the International and Comparative Politics
track has been conducted successfully as one of several concentrations
in the Master of Arts in Applied Behavioral Science (ABS); and
WHEREAS, the program track has grown in three years
to enroll more than 40 students; and
WHEREAS, the ABS Program and Department of Political
Science are committed to a separate degree program for the benefit
of the enrolled students and program graduates; and
WHEREAS, a degree designation change from a program
track to a separate degree program status has been approved unanimously
by the Graduate Council and the Faculty Senate; therefore be
it
RESOLVED that the Master of Arts in International and
Comparative Politics, as submitted to this meeting be, and the
same hereby is approved.
Mr. Diggs moved for approval. Mr. Nevin
seconded, and the motion was unanimously approved by voice vote.

B. Advancement
Committee
Mr.
Nevin reported on the committee meeting of October 1, 2004.
á Alumni
Association Update
Dr. Gary LeRoy, president of the Alumni Association,
reported on the activities of the Alumni Association. The Association
built a float that was used at the Fairborn July 4th parade
and the Vandalia air show parade. It will be used for future
events. The association also sponsored an alumni night at the
Dayton Dragons on July 23rd.
Twenty-six student organizations participated in the ÒRowdy
Round TownÓ project. Most of the budget for this project was
donated by the Alumni Association. The Rowdy statues will be
auctioned off during the October 23rd ÒNight at the
RowdysÓ Campaign Celebration. Dr. LeRoy highlighted upcoming
events including Homecoming, the annual football trip and the
Dec. 8th Jam the Gym event.
á WSU
Foundation Update
Mrs. Marcia Muller distributed the Foundation Board
committee list and mentioned that the full board has not yet
met this year. The Executive Committee recently reviewed areas
of priority for the coming year including strategic plan targets
for FY 2004-2005. Mrs. Jamie King, who will represent the University
Board of Trustees, was welcomed to the Board.
á Campaign
Status Report
Mrs. Muller announced that the campaign now exceeds
$59 million in commitments and continues to climb. She enumerated
a number of rationales for continuing the Campaign beyond the
October 23 celebration event. These included many remaining campus
needs, expanded gift potential and the continuing uncertainty
of state funding. There was a consensus among Advancement Committee
members that continuing the Campaign would be in the best interest
of Wright State.
Ms. Shari Lewis, director of Corporate and Foundation
Relations, reviewed the history and the process of the Corporate
Appeal. This year Corporate Appeal more than doubled its goal
of $150,000, thanks in part to Mr. Tom Young, who chaired this
yearÕs Corporate Appeal. Mr. Young was recognized for doing an
outstanding job and was presented with a biplane model in appreciation
of all his work.
Mr. Robert Copeland, assistant vice president for Development,
reported on annual initiatives including the ÒFamily FundÓ component
of the Campaign and annual Campus Scholarship and Innovation
Campaign. All annual goals for these programs have been exceeded
for the past five years. The Family Fund phase of the Campaign
has generated $3.4 million in commitments against a goal of $2
million.
Mr. Copeland stated that 84 members will be recognized
and inducted into the Heritage Society at the October 23, ÒA
Night at the RowdyÕsÓ event. The decorated RowdyÕs will be auctioned
off during this event.
á Divisional
Update
Mrs. Muller reported that Ms. Lewis will be taking
a new position as director of Development for Academic Services
and University College. At this point all college units are now
served by a professional development officer.
Mrs. Muller also commented on the number of volunteer
advisory boards which has sprung up during the Campaign. Over
400 volunteers serve on the 28 advisory boards and give 1,200
hours per year attending these meetings.
Team training took place on September 23rd through
a day with Mr. Don Gray, nationally known expert in university
advancement. Deans and Advancement staff attended at various
times of the day.
C. Building
and Grounds Committee
á Ice
Rink Facility
Mr. John Siehl, director, Nutter Center, briefly described
the project. Dr. Matt Filipic explained that the university would
receive ice time in exchange for the land lease. Mr. Diggs requested
further information on details of the lease.
D. Finance
and Audit Committee
Mr.
Graber, chair, reported on the committee meeting of October 1,
2004.
1. Classification
Plan for Civil Service Eligible Employees
Wright State University completed a study in 2003 that
resulted in the creation of a new classification plan and amended
rules for the classified civil service that must be filed with
the state of Ohio.
RESOLUTION 05-10
WHEREAS,
Wright State University has the authority and the responsibility
to establish, modify, or repeal a job classification plan for
all positions, offices, and employments in the classified civil
service; and
WHEREAS,
the university desires to amend its classification plan for classified
employees in compliance with section 111.15 of the Ohio Revised
Code; and
WHEREAS,
Wright State University completed a classification study in 2003
that has resulted in the creation of a new classification plan
establishing titles, pay ranges, a numbering system, and amended
rules for the classified civil service; therefore be it
RESOLVED
that the new classification plan be accepted for implementation
and filed with the state of Ohio as the classification program
for the classified service at Wright State University.
Mr.
Graber moved for approval. Mr. Adams seconded, the motion was
approval by roll call vote. Mr. Jenkins abstained.
l Mr.
Stover and Ms. Sanders reviewed the results of the FY2004 audit
performed by PricewaterhouseCoopers. PricewaterhouseCoopers reviewed
the preliminary results of its financial audit with the committee
and its recommendations for improving internal controls based
upon its findings during the course of the audit. Mr. Stover
and Ms. Sanders both commended the university for its cooperation
with the audit process.
l Mr.
Jeff Ulliman reviewed the draft financial statements with the
committee. PricewaterhouseCoopers is in the process of completing
its audit of the universityÕs financial statements for the year
ended June 30, 2004. Management reviewed the statements of net
assets; revenues, expenses, and changes in fund balance; and
cash flows, as reflected in the draft financial statements.
á Mr.
Ulliman reviewed the universityÕs expenditures $250,000-$499,999.
No action by the committee was required.
l Professor
Fall Ainina presented a proposal to allocate a portion of our
funds to a finance class for them to invest. WSU will have a
trading room with the latest software and only the faculty would
handle the actual transactions. This work will be judged against
benchmarks. Dr. Filipic proposed to allocate $500,000 for this
purpose, with possible increases in the future.
l Mr.
Ulliman shared a proposed revision to our investment policy which
was discussed. No action will be requested until the November
5th meeting.
l Dr.
Filipic shared an update of the universityÕs capital planning
guidelines.
l Plans
were discussed for the possible sale of bonds to finance a portion
of the science project, the Student Union renovation, and the
implementation of our administrative software system. No action
will be requested until November 5th (at the earliest),
pending review and approval of the scope of the science project
by Buildings and Grounds.
l Dr.
Filipic shared the universityÕs investment reports.
l Dr.
Filipic presented his vice presidentÕs report. Some highlights
are as follows:
¤ State
operating budget. Revenues are ahead of expectations so far this
year. Payroll employment is still below 1999 levels in Ohio,
while nationally employment is growing. A recent Columbus Dispatch
article was distributed; it noted the structural imbalance in
the state budget going into the next biennium.
¤ State
capital budget. A bill is expected after the election. State
capital funding has been in steady decline since the early 1990Õs,
placing pressure on our own resources to fill the gap.
¤ We
are developing a project list to focus our divisionÕs attention
on opportunities to reduce expenditures or increase revenues.
This list will be discussed with the committee in January.
¤ Enrollments
are tracking our estimates, but we are not enjoying a substantial
margin over the numbers assumed in our budget as we had in recent
years. Tuition revenues are modestly above forecasts.
¤ We
have been conducting training and drills as part of the implementation
of our new emergency response plan.
¤ The
Banner project is on time and on budget.
E. Student
Affairs Committee
Mr. Jenkins, chair, reported on the committee
meeting of October 1, 2004.
á Vice-PresidentÕs
Report:
Dr. Dan Abrahamowicz gave introductory comments regarding
the homecoming activities for October 1-3 which include the 2nd annual
homecoming parade, as well as menÕs and womenÕs soccer games
and induction of athletes into the soccer Walk of Fame.
Move-in and Fall Fest went well and enrollments are
up for fall 2004. In Athletics, a new baseball coach, Mr. Rob
Cooper, was hired, as was a new softball coach, Mr. Mike Larabee.
Sadly, WSUÕs tennis coach, Mr. Herb Foster, passed away unexpectedly.
There are three divisional construction projects underway:
the Athletics Pavilion, the Student Union renovation, and new
housing construction. There has also been a divisional reorganization.
The Office of Conferences and Events has been moved into the
Division of Student Affairs & Enrollment Services. A new
Office of Student Support Services has been created under the
direction of Ms. Katie Deedrick, a licensed counselor. The office
will be responsible for student advocacy and student crisis response.
The office also has responsibility for commuter student and parent
association programming. Student Judicial Services and Greek
Affairs were combined into one office under the direction of
Mr. Gary Dickstein. The Office of Student Life is now the Office
of Student Activitie
