CONSENT AGENDA

Commissioner Crofts announced that his office has hired Mary Craigle as the new Information Officer, replacing Bob Vogel.  He also advised that the staff item for Alex Capdeville in Item 108-1900-R0900 has been removed since he is in the Item for MSU-Northern as the new Chancellor.

    Chairwoman Thompson announced that Regent Lynn Hamilton has been appointed the liaison to the Board of Education.  She also announced that Bob Brown is the liaison from the Board of Education to the Board of Regents.

Commissioner Crofts announced that the item for Bob Frazier has been removed from Item 108-1000-R0900 pending further clarification.

    Commissioner Crofts advised that after conversation with the Regents, salary recommendations for Item 108-100-R0900 have been revised.  His prime concern is equity for the staff in his office with the comparable positions on campus.  The total average increase in the OCHE office is 3.7%.  In a couple of cases he gave special recognition for individuals who have done truly remarkable work for the University System. 

    He further noted that the Montana University System has generally set presidential salaries using the statutory methodology for establishing the Governor's salary.  Due to the Montana State University-Bozeman faculty pay freeze, President Roark will not receive a raise for FY 2001.  He recommended that President Dennison's salary be increased to $133,000 which is slightly over 4%. 

    President Roark noted that a market adjustment has been recommended for Dean Will Weaver to bring him in line with his fellow dean colleagues.

    Vice Chairman Jasmin recommended that the salary for Commissioner Crofts be increased to $133,500.

COMMISSIONER'S REPORT

Commissioner Crofts reported that the Presidential Search at MSU-Bozeman is going well and that two of the three final candidates have been interviewed with the last being scheduled for next Wednesday.  The Regents will meet in early October at which time the President will be selected.  He has heard praise from all quarters for the Search Committee and Deputy Commissioner Joyce Scott for having done an outstanding job of gathering candidates.  All four campuses have participated as far as was possible. 

    He also noted that his office is working on assessment of  the Restructuring.  A report was distributed that morning showing the achievements thus far.  More copies are available to interested parties.  Jim Mingle retired director from SHEEO will come in as consultant the week of October 16.  He will be talking to people on all campuses to validate what has been reported, and to obtain candid input. 


CAMPUS REPORTS

Provost Lois Muir announced that Rick Gray has been appointed as the interim Dean of Helena College of Technology.  She also announced that Scott Cole, Vice President of Administration and Finance is leaving the University of Montana-Missoula to take a position at Arizona State University.  She gave a demonstration of the breakthrough made at UM in locating to within a kilometer the location of fires in the state.  These reports were provided every day to the fire fighters, and the expectation is that the distance and turn around time will be reduced to one meter and minutes respectively.  Vice Chairman Jasmin noted that the University of Montana-Missoula made a wonderful gesture of gratitude to the fire fighters by hosting over 100 of them at the Hofstra game.  20,000 people in attendance showed their appreciation.    The University of Montana-Missoula 

Stephen T. Hulbert, Chancellor, Western Montana College of The University of Montana noted that 14 students were identified as fighting fires at the beginning of school.  Of those 9 have returned to study, and five have withdrawn and will return in January.  In response to a question from Chairwoman Thompson, he indicated that six of their students came out of the Challenge Program, and about 18 went to other campuses across the state.    Western Montana College of The University of Montana

Montana Tech of The University of Montana 
Bob Bennett, President of Miles Community College reported that with the help of many people they have been able to start a baseball program on their campus.  It has made a positive impact on their enrollment.  He also noted that in cooperation with the Billings campus they have participated in grants which have helped them very much, and they have found the people in Billings to be wonderful to work with.  They now have merged the health center of the hospital with the one on campus.  The hospital will be sending their customers to Miles CC and have also contributed to the new health center.

    David Beyer, President of Flathead Valley Community College noted that President Bennett has been very good for the state, and he hates to see him leave so soon.  He reported that they are co-hosting the State High School Counselors' annual meeting in Flathead.  It is an opportunity to share information with high schools and higher education in general.  They are also making preparations for working with the business community leadership of Flathead and the Chamber of Commerce on a project  to bring the business community and the education community together to enhance student work force preparation.  The group has been meeting for two years, and is focusing on developing a curriculum with opportunities for high school graduates in Flathead who do not choose to go beyond high school.  More than 50% of the students are in that category.  They are trying to incorporate workers skills into the curriculum.  Among others, SemiTool and Plum Creek are members of this group.  The campus is looking to expand its holdings.  With the development in the northern part of the city they are hoping to acquire 80 acres adjacent to campus, and expand with another building.  They are currently looking at blueprints and cost estimates.

    Terry Hetrick, President of Dawson Community College reported that the course approved by the Regents last year on Farm Business Management has been incredibly successful.  They were ready for 18 students to enroll, and had hired one full time professor.  However, in two days time they had 22 people wanting to take the class and they had to secure the services of a part time individual for the overflow.  The vast majority of students are adults, many of whom are attending college for the first time, and they are enrolling full time.  Their purpose is to learn how to micro computerize their operations with computer accounting systems to better understand where their agricultural units stand financially.

    Chairwoman Margie Thompson indicated that she would like the Presidents of the Community Colleges to provide one page reports to the Regents at each meeting, as the other campuses are now doing.

a.    ITEM 108-103-R0900  Operating Budgets

Associate Commissioner Rod Sundsted reported on the Operating Budgets.  He indicated they are up 1.7% and enrollment is at 34,198 which is an all time system high.  Some growth is projected.  He voiced his appreciation to all the fiscal officers for their help in putting the budgets together.   They were timely and well done.

Regent Roehm MOVED for APPROVAL of  Item a. of the Old Business Agenda.

  The MOTION PASSED unanimously.

b.    2003 Biennial Budget Update

Commissioner Crofts noted that David Longanecker, the representative from WICHE had commented to the legislative committee that the University System was very, very frugal.  Referring to the document "How Do We Stack Up?" Commissioner Crofts noted that the most critical portion is the last category which leads him to conclude that the Montana University System is in virtually desperate straits.  The system appears to be at the end of its rope in its ability to provide the quality and access Montana deserves.  The system is funded below all seven peer states with the gap in dollars spent to educate students being a very significant $2100 below what they spend on average. He indicated he is proud the University System is a testament to frugality and efficiency, but it cannot continue at the current rate.  Commissioner Crofts indicated that two options are available, one being a state increase in funding, and the other an increase in tuition and fees.  If the state were to increase funding by $500 per student it would only catch up about 40% of the shortfall.  The system has been told that the legislature will not respond to "threats" of tuition increases, however there is no alternative without a substantial increase in state funding.  With no state increase, and an increase of 4% in tuition, the Montana University System would experience a revenue shortfall of  $10-$11,000,000.  Cutting enrollment loses an additional $4400 of state funding per student.  Since 1992 tuition has increased by 102%.   If the State increases the funding by $500 per student, the Commissioner would recommend not to increase tuition, despite opposition from some corners.   The Montana Guaranteed Student Loan Program provides scholarships to the top 10% at each of the high schools.  Their statistics shows that at least 94%, or 360 students decline the scholarships to go out of state.  The bottom line is that even with a financial aid package in Montana, it costs less for them to go out of state for their education.  Non-resident students pay 109% of tuition.

c.    Status Report on Restructuring Review

The week of October 16, Jim Mingle, retired Director of SHEEO will do one-on-one visits by various media with each campus, and will bring his data to the Regents'  workshop on October 19.  This will be a total review of the Restructuring process, which has not been done since 1994.  A working document will be prepared for the media.

   Motion APPROVED Unanimously

PUBLIC COMMENT

There was no Public Comment

 

Report on GASB 34-35 - Laurie Neils

Professional consultants Joe Blythe of GASB and Kevin McCue former member of the Capital Asset Task Force on Infrastructure and Capital Assets gave an extensive presentation on the reporting requirements mandated to colleges and universities by GASB 34 and 35, followed by a full day work shop on these issues to university accounting staff.

Report on School to Work - Arlene Parisot

    Ms. Parisot reported that the School to Work system was formed to create systemic change in education with grants to local communities, business and community partners.  It is headed by a 26 member advisory board from across the community.  An on-site visit brought recommendations for more involvement of post secondary education and decentralization.  In response to those recommendations, specialists are now being put into each region.  It was noted that counseling and partnerships were strong areas in the review.  It was found that there are disparate views on the preparedness of students for the work force.  Employers believe they are unprepared technically, and have poor work ethics.  Students, teachers and parents thought exactly the opposite.  It is the intent of the system to make students aware of all career options early on.  They will also be encouraged to prepare electronic portfolios which business and industry are now requesting.  The School to Work Grant ends in 2002, and by that time it is expected to have these new approaches will be embedded in the system.

NEW BUSINESS

There was no new business.

 

With no further business to come before the Board the meeting adjourned at 10:55 a.m.
