PROPERTY AT 803 WATER STREET, NLR, AGRI (ACTION)

March 26, 2013




Dr. Mark Cochran, Vice President for Agriculture, recommends acceptance of a quitclaim deed for certain property in North Little Rock, Arkansas located at 803 Water Street. The property was deeded to the University of Arkansas, College of Agricultural Extension Service by deed dated May 18, 1934 from Marion Wasson, Bank Commissioner in charge for management of Twin City Bank by Twin City Savings Bank for the specific purpose of using the property as a community center for community work by the Rose City Home Demonstration Club only. The deed has a reverter clause that if the property should cease to be used for this purpose, the title shall revert to the Grantor, i.e. the Bank Commissioner. The deed recited that it was executed· pursuant to Act 88 of the General Assembly for 1933 and apparently was a Depression-era piece of legislation.

The property may have been used in the past as a community center by the Rose Center Home Demonstration Club, which would have been related to the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service, but it has not been so used for many years. The property is in disrepair and is subject to being condemned by the City ofNorth Little Rock. The Arkansas State Bank Department has agreed to quitclaim the property to the Board to dispose of as it sees fit. The property is in a residential area and has little value. The Cooperative Extension Service, once the Board acquires title, proposes to tear the structure down and to hold it for donation to the community as a park, to the City of North Little Rock, or to a charitable organization which might wish to construct a house or facility on the property. A resolution is attached for your consideration. I recommend its approval.

Dear Trustees:

Chancellor G. David Gearhart, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, has requested approval of a proposal to add a Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages degree in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction within the College of Education and Health Professions, effective fall 2013. A summary of the proposal is attached.

The program is designed to prepare teachers in the U.S. and abroad to teach English to students whose first language is not English and to prepare graduates to be able to create and implement curriculum and appropriate assessments for English as a second or foreign language (ESL). Included in the coursework for the M.Ed. are the four courses required by the Arkansas Department of Education for endorsement in ESL. ESL is on the Arkansas List of Teaching Areas of Critical Need and this program is expected to help reduce that need. With the recent addition of a new tenure-track faculty member in ESL, no additional faculty cost is anticipated. All courses are currently available or within the course catalog. No additional needs have been identified in the areas of facilities, equipment, or library resources.

The proposal has received the necessary campus approvals. I concur with Chancellor Gearhart's recommendation and have attached a resolution for your consideration.

RESOLUTION

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS THAT the proposal of the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, to add a Master of Education in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages degree, effective fall2013, is hereby approved.


UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS, FAYETTEVILLE

Master of Education in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)

(New Certificate or Degree Program)

1. PROPOSED PROGRAM TITLE:

Master of Education in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL)

2. CONTACT PERSON:

Dr. Sharon Gaber, Provost [email protected] 479-575-5459

3. PROPOSED STARTING DATE:

Fall2013

4. PROGRAM SUMMARY:

Provide a general description of the proposed program. Include overview of any curriculum additions or modifications; program costs; faculty resources, library resources, facilities and equipment; purpose of the program; and any information that will serve as introduction to the program.

Program Description The program is designed to prepare teachers in the U.S. and abroad to teach English to students whose first language is not English; graduates are also prepared to create and implement curriculum and appropriate assessments for English as a second or foreign language (ESL). Included in the course work for the M.Ed. are the four courses required by the Arkansas Department of Education for endorsement in ESL. ESL is listed on the Arkansas List of Teaching Areas of Critical Need and this program is expected to help reduce that need.

Admission requirements Students must be officially accepted by the Graduate School and by the M.Ed. TESOL degree program. Students are expected to have completed an undergraduate degree program with a 3.0 grade-point average on the last 6o hours of the program of study. Upon acceptance into the Graduate School, the application packet will be submitted to the program for review.

MEd in TESOL Program of Study The MEd requires degree candidates to complete a m1mmum of 33 graduate hours including:

Professional Core (Endorsement courses)-- 12 hours CIED 5923 Second Language Acquisition (3 hours) CIED 5933 Second Language Methodology (3 hours) CIED 5943 Teaching People of Other Cultures (3 hours) CIED 5953 Second Language Assessment (3 hours) Additional Required Courses -- 12 hours CIED 5393 Introduction to Linguistics (3 hours) CIED 5513 Sound system of American English (3 hours) CIED 5543 Structures of American English (3 hours) CIED 599v Internship/Action Research (3 hours) Research Requirements CIED 5983 Practicum in CIED Choose one from each set CIED 5013 Measurement, Research and Statistical Concepts in the Schools Or CIED 5273 Research in Curriculum and Instruction

ESRM 5393 Statistics in Education and Health Professions Or ESRM 6533 Qualitative Research

Students are not required to complete a formal master's thesis, but will take a class (CIED 5013 or CIED 5273) that provides an introduction to education research and then design and carry out an action research project in CIED 5983 Practicum in Curriculum and Instruction. Following this two course sequence students will defend their project as the comprehensive exam for the degree. This project will be assessed by a faculty panel which will include the advisor for the student's program and two other M.Ed. faculty members.

For students who have the experience and desire to complete a formal thesis, this option exists. In such cases, students will form an advisory committee and then propose, write and defend a thesis committee. The successful defense of the thesis will represent the comprehensive exam for the M.Ed. degree. Students who choose the thesis option will not be required to complete CIED 5013/5273 or CIED 5983 but must take six credits of master's thesis credit (CIED 600v) in the place of these two courses.

Additionally, all degree candidates must prepare a portfolio that exhibits samples of work from all major required courses. Candidates will also complete an action research project during their Internship/Action Research (CIED 599v).

No minor or other program component is available. Students may take electives, but they are not required and are not part of the minimum 33 hours required for the M.Ed.

Professional Core and Research Courses are active courses, which are currently being offered on a regular rotation. The Additional Required Courses are approved but inactive. These courses can be activated when the program is approved.

2

Program Costs, Facilities and Equipment, and Library Resources With the recent addition of a new tenure-track faculty member in ESL, no additional faculty cost is anticipated. All courses are currently available or within the course catalog. No additional needs have been identified in the areas of Facilities and Equipment or Library Resources.

5. NEED FOR THE PROGRAM (Submit Employer Needs Survey Forms):

Impact on Arkansas Schools ESL professionals in Northwest Arkansas teach, prepare and provide in-service training and on-going support to help teachers better serve language minority populations. In districts in Northwest Arkansas, it is not unusual for a school to have 40% or more language minority children. In these districts, every teacher acts as an ESL teacher. Teachers are impacted in two ways--first, the ESL teachers themselves offer pull-out programs, sheltered classes, and support to content teachers. Secondly, in the content/classroom teachers now, in addition to all else she does, must also find ways to accommodate language minority students in the content classroom. Many content and classroom teachers have had little or no coursework in teaching culturally and linguistically diverse populations. Their education may have offered/required one course in special needs populations or differentiated instruction. Those teachers may need extensive support and leadership to transition into their new roles. The roles of ESL professionals in Northwest Arkansas are similar to the roles of ESL professionals in any Arkansas school district. However, the large population of Culturally and Language Diverse students present in Northwest Arkansas combined with the location of the University combine to increase the impact of the program of the program on the students in this area.

International Impact The CIED/ESL faculty frequently receive inquiries from international students seeking the MEdin TESOL specifically or an ESL concentration in a Ph.D. program. This program would provide both. In addition, there are great possibilities for marketing the program abroad especially in East Asia and the Middle East.

Include information received from potential employers about course content Course content reflects the requirements for endorsement as specified by the Arkansas Department of Education. Since the majority of the potential employers are school districts, the use of the endorsement requirements positively impacts the course content suggested by the potential employers.

6. NEW PROGRAM COSTS -Expenditures for the first 3 years:

No new costs required for program implementation.

7. SOURCES OF PROGRAM FUNDING - Income for the first 3 years of program operation:

Indicate the projected annual student enrollment and expected annual tuition/fees for the proposed program (Provide the amount of student tuition per credit hour)

2013-14 2014-15 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 Total TUITION COSTS

Enrollment 10 10 10 10 10 50 $395.25 (in-state per credit hour)

Continuing 2 4 6 6 14 $872.55 (out -of-state per credit hour)

Graduated 8 8 10 10 36

An in-state student will generate approximately $7,114.50 per academic year and an outof-state student will generate approximately $15,705.90 per academic year. These costs are projected to increase at a rate of 5% per annum.

8. SIMILAR PROGRAMS - List institutions:

Arkansas Tech University- Master's degree in TESOL.

Arkansas institutions that offer non-degree programs of study for the ESL endorsement: Arkansas Tech University- undergraduate & graduate Harding University- undergraduate Henderson State University -undergraduate & graduate John Brown University- undergraduate & graduate Southern Arkansas University- undergraduate & graduate University of Arkansas-Fayetteville- graduate University of Arkansas-Fort Smith- undergraduate University of Arkansas-Little Rock- undergraduate University of Arkansas-Monticello- graduate University of Central Arkansas -., undergraduate & graduate

Why is proposed program needed if offered at other institutions in Arkansas or region? (1) Only Arkansas Tech (ATU) has a graduate program (MA TESOL) and it serves students largely within driving distance of its campus. The geographical barrier makes it difficult for students in the Fayetteville are to attend courses to pursue the degree. We believe that a state as large as Arkansas needs at least 2 programs to prepare teachers to teach our growing language minority populations. (2) The Master of Arts in TESOL offered by ATU provides students with the 4 endorsement courses. However, the MEd in TESOL at the UA will also offer the

4

endorsement courses and will require 4 four linguistics courses which will provide a more robust program for those teaching English as a second or foreign language. These courses are needed for the growing numbers of students who come to us from international settings.

List institutions offering a similar program that the institution used as a model to develop the proposed program. University of Pennsylvania University of Texas-Austin Teachers College, Columbia.

U!A UNNERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSIEM


March 26, 2013


Dear Trustees:

Chancellor G. David Gearhart, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, has requested approval of a proposal to add a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Endorsement for P-4 candidates for the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) in Childhood Education degree in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction within the College of Education and Health Professions. A summary of the proposal is attached.

There is a great need in Arkansas and across the nation to increase the exposure of elementary students to advance levels of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Numerous research reports illustrate that the best way to increase student interest in these vital STEM fields is to engage them early in their educational experiences. Unfortunately, most elementary teachers are not prepared to deliver STEM education during the elementary grades. This program is designed to address that problem and develop graduates who are well prepared to deliver STEM education in the elementary grades. This addition of a subspecialty in STEM education does not require new faculty or resources and no other program area will be eliminated or deleted.

RESOLUTION

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS THAT the proposal of the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, to add a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Endorsement for P-4 to the Master of Arts in Teaching in Childhood Education degree in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction in the College of Education and Health Professions, effective fall2013, is hereby approved.

1. INSTITUTION SUBMITTING REQUEST:


2. CONTACT PERSON/TITLE/PHONE NUMBER/E-MAIL ADDRESS:

Provost Sharon Gaber 479.575.5459 I [email protected]

3. PROPOSED EFFECTIVE DATE:

Fall2013

4. TITLE OF DEGREE PROGRAM:

MAT, Childhood Education

5. PROPOSED OPTION/CONCENTRATION/EMPHASIS NAME:

STEM Endorsement for P-4 candidates

6. REASON FOR PROPOSED ACTION:

The University of Arkansas has developed a graduate certificate in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education for P-4 Childhood Education MAT candidates. This action would make this certificate sub-specialty option for the Childhood Education licensure program. There is a great need for increased attention to the STEM disciplines in elementary schools across the State of Arkansas and across the nation. The U of A does have an additional licensure program, or endorsement, in STEM education, but a graduate certificate was implemented in August 2012. The courses for this program currently exist and are approved by the Arkansas Department of Education. This modification does not require new faculty, or resources. The Childhood Education faculty approved this change at their September 21, 2011 meeting.

7. NEW OPTION/CONCENTRATION/EMPHASIS OBJECTIVE:

The University of Arkansas Childhood Education licensure program currently offers three sub-specialty options from which candidates must choose in order to complete the program. They are special education, English as a second language, and a grades 5/6 endorsement. We are proposing to add the fourth option of STEM endorsement for P-4 candidates to prepare more candidates to fill the need in the state for highly qualified teachers in STEM education. The new option requires five courses (15 hours). One of

these courses (CIED 5032 Curriculum Design) is already a part of the program. The other four courses (below) have been developed and have been approved as part of a Graduate Certificate in STEM Education.

8. PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING:

Curriculum outline- List of Required Courses and New Course Descriptions • TEED 4033: This introductory course in integrative STEM education focuses on the

development and introduction of STEM content and pedagogy for the PK-12 classroom. The course includes an introduction to the nature of each of the STEM education disciplines, and follows with an exploration of the pedagogies unique to the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and insights into teaching strategies that can be used to deliver instruction in an integrative fashion.

• TEED 5023: This introductory course in technology and engineering education focuses on the development and introduction of technology and engineering-based activities to support science and mathematics instruction in the elementary classroom. Through hands-on, problem based learning challenges, students will develop an understanding of the design process and the integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) often used to solve real-world problems.

• CIED 5203: This graduate level course focuses on sharing, modeling and practicing strategies to support the meaningful integration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) with the emphasis on mathematics in the K-4 classroom. A strong foundation for integrating the STEM disciplines through a problems-based approach within the elementary curriculum will be developed by providing students with theoretical frameworks, research, resources, and methods related to appropriate and effective classroom practice.

• CIED 5213: This graduate level course focuses on sharing, modeling and practicing strategies to support the meaningful integration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) with the emphasis on science in the K-4 classroom. A strong foundation for integrating the STEM disciplines through a problems-based approach within the elementary curriculum will be developed by providing students with theoretical frameworks, research, resources, and methods related to appropriate and effective classroom practice.

9. MODE OF DELIVERY TO BE USED:

Traditional classroom format

10. SPECIFY THE AMOUNT OF THE ADDITIONAL COSTS REQUIRED, THE SOURCE OF FUNDS, AND HOW FUNDS WILL BE USED:

There are no anticipated additional costs. No new faculty lines are required since all these courses are currently offered.

u~ UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM


March 26, 2013


Dear Trustees:

The University has applied for patents relating to "Industrially relevant alkylation of azoles" (UA 2012-19). This technology was developed by University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, researchers: Matt Mcintosh Professor, Chemistry and BioChemistry; Silvana Dormi, Instructor; Juliette Rivero, Graduate Assistant; Sefat Alwarsh, Graduate Assistant and Kolawole Ayinuola, Graduate Assistant. Subject to Board approval, the University has licensed the technology and patent rights to an Arkansas company located in Fayetteville, Schola Biosciences, LLC, for the purpose of commercializing the technology. Schola Biosciences, LLC plans to provide advanced chemical research capabilities for industrial customers.

In consideration for granting an exclusive license to the company, the University will receive royalties and sublicense royalties at the rate of three percent (3%) per year of gross sales of end product. The University will also receive minimum annual royalty payments of $10,000, beginning January 1, 2018. If the company engages in sublicensing, it will have a choice of either paying forty percent ( 40%) of any sublicensing fees, or a 3% royalty on the gross sales of licensed products by a sublicensee. Additionally, the University will hold a 10% virtual equity position in the company. The agreement requires full reimbursement for all patenting costs. The agreement contains liability and insurance provisions which the General Counsel believes are protective of the University.

Matt Mcintosh owns equity in the company and will serve as the Chief Scientific Officer. As an inventor, Dr. Mcintosh is also entitled to receive a share of any revenue the University receives, pursuant to Board of Trustees Policy 210.1.

Because one or more University faculty members or researchers have a direct financial interest in the abovementioned company, questions of conflict of interest are raised. However, Act 875 of 1989, as amended, allows an institution of higher education to contract with a firm in which an employee of the institution has a financial interest if the contract involves intellectual property rights in which both the institution and the employee have interests. Under the law, the contract must; however, be approved by the Board of Trustees in a public meeting.

On the basis of the above considerations, Chancellor Gearhart recommends approval of this license. Because ofthe potential for developing local Arkansas business and the importance of promoting advances in engineering and advanced technologies, I concur with his recommendation. A resolution approving the license agreement is attached.

March 26, 2013


Dear Trustees:

Chancellor Joel E. Anderson, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, has requested approval of a proposal to reconfigure the Bachelor of Business Administration degrees in Accounting, Finance, Management and Marketing into a Bachelor of Business Administration in General Business. A summary of the proposal is attached.

UALR currently offers a variety of business degrees that address specific areas; however, they do not have a degree that addresses the general aspects of business. The proposed BBA in General Business will blend upper-level courses across business disciplines to provide students with knowledge and skills for a variety of career paths after degree completion. The degree will be offered in a fully online, accelerated term format that allows degree completion of all required business competency courses, as well as the 27 hours specific to the General Business major, in two years (thirteen eight-week terms).

The courses selected across the disciplines to create the General Business degree were chosen intentionally to reflect skills in a variety of areas that employers value enhancing the employment opportunities of graduates of the program.

6. REASON FOR PROPOSED PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION:

UALR currently offers a variety of business degrees that address specific areas; however, the University does not have a degree that addresses the general aspects of business. The proposed BBA in General Business will blend upper-level courses across business disciplines to provide students with knowledge and skills for a variety of career paths after degree completion. The degree will be offered in a fully online, accelerated term format that allows degree completion of all required business competency courses, as well as the 27 hours specific to the General Business major, in two years (thirteen eightweek terms).

4. PROPOSED TITLE OF THE PROGRAM TO BE SEPARATED FROM THE CURRENT BACHELOR OF ARTS IN MUSIC:

Bachelor of Music in Music Performance-Concentration in Vocal Performance and Bachelor of Music in Music Performance-Concentration in Instrumental Performance


Fall2013

6. REASON FOR PROPOSED MODIFICATION:

Approximately 60% of students currently enrolled in the Music Department have declared their major as "Applied Studies." In its present form the degree is a Bachelor of Arts in Music, with an emphasis in Applied Studies. It is a true liberal arts degree with little coursework distinguishing it as a performance degree as defined by the National Association of Schools of Music. We propose to maintain the Bachelor of Arts degree in music as a liberal arts option, but to also add the Bachelor of Music in Music Performance for those desiring a professional music degree. Presently, students desiring

a professional music degree are taking all coursework required of the Bachelor of Arts, thus committing longer periods of time to complete their degree plan. Adding this degree will make it possible for students to complete the program within the four-year time frame, while taking courses more appropriate to their intended career options. This is not a "new" degree because UALR is simply streamlining the current music program of study.

This modification will address a critical need to reconcile practice and published criteria, and will address issues that will be raised during the accreditation renewal process in 2013-2014.

The availability of the B.M. in Music Performance will enhance recruiting to the program in general. Students and employers typically prefer the Bachelor of Music degree.

March 26, 2013


Dear Trustees:

Chancellor Joel E. Anderson, University of Arkansas at Little Rock, has requested that you be notified of a proposal to change the organizational structure of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock's College of Business by creating a new department, the Department of Business Information Systems. A summary ofthe proposal is attached.

Currently, the Department of Management is the largest department within the College of Business and houses two distinct disciplines-management and management information systems. The Department of Management has 52.6 percent of the College's undergraduate majors and enrollment has steadily increased over the last 8 years.

The size of the current Department allows limited time for the Department Chair to devote to cultivating all programs, especially the Master of Business Administration in Management Information Systems. The new Department of Business Information Systems will house both the undergraduate and graduate management information systems programs. The new Department will also allow for effective and efficient administration of each program.

4. Name Of Current Organizational Unit:

Department of Management (including both Management and Management Information Systems programs)

5. NAME OF PROPOSED UNIT:

Department of Business Information Systems

6. REASON FOR PROPOSED CHANGE:

The Department of Management, the largest department in the College of Business, houses two disciplines, management and management information systems. The department has 52.6 percent of College's undergraduate majors. The enrollment in the Department of Management has increased substantially over the last eight years: a 61.3 percent increase in undergraduate majors from fall 2008 to fall 2012. With such an extremely large department, the current department chair has limited time to devote to growing all programs, especially the Management Information Systems programs, an area with increasing job opportunities. Over the last three years, no growth has occurred in the MS in MIS program. This change in organizational structure will more equitably distribute the workload among department chairs and create a more effective and efficient administration of both the management and management information systems programs, with a goal of further increases in program enrollments. (The new department will be named Department of Business Information Systems, a more current title than Management Information Systems.)

7. PROPOSED ORGANIZATIONAL CHART:

8. IF PROPOSED CHANGES RESULT IN A REALLOCATION OF FUNDS, WHICH DEPARTMENTS/PROGRAMS WILL RECEIVE THE REALLOCATED FUNDS?

Current departmental funds will be distributed between the current Department of Management and the newly organized Department of Business Information Systems.

6. REASON FOR PROPOSED CONSOLIDATION:

The Department of Music proposes to change the Bachelor of Arts with a Concentration in Music Education to a Bachelor of Music with a Concentration Music Education. This change will satisfy accreditation standards for the National Association of Schools of Music and will allow the department to address inadequacies of the current Bachelor of Arts degree in music education.

The existing Bachelor of Arts in Music with a Concentration Music Education leads to licensure in K-12 vocal music. According to the accreditation standards of the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), any program leading to licensure is, by

definition, a professional program and should fall under the guidelines of the Bachelor of Music degree. All students currently enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts in Music (Music Education Concentration will be given the opportunity to change to the Bachelor of Music (Music Education Concentration). The Music Education Concentration under the Bachelor of Arts in Music will be discontinued.

The Bachelor of Music-Music Education Concentration is intended for any student seeking K -12 licensure in music. Approval is being sought by the Arkansas Department of Education for the proposed program changes.

All students enrolling in this reconfigured program will meet entrance requirements of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock as well as the audition standards of the Music Department. All will be expected to enroll in the Secondary Education Concentration, and will participate in service and community engagement activities throughout their music education coursework.

CONCENTRATION & ADD A RESOURCES INTERPRETATION MINOR, UAFS {ACTION)

U-U\ UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS SYSTEM


March 26, 2013


Dear Trustees:

Chancellor Paul Beran, University of Arkansas at Fort Smith, has requested approval of a proposal to delete the concentration in Historical Interpretation and replace it with a minor in Resources Interpretation, effective summer 2013. A summary ofthe proposal is attached.

The faculty at UAFS has found the concentration in Historical Interpretation to be nonviable as students are reluctant to pursue the concentration since they are also required to pursue a minor. UAFS has developed an 18-hour minor in Resources Interpretation to better reflect the nature of interpretation programs on the national level. Courses in the minor will form the foundation of interpretation and will be chosen to fit the student's interest and intended postgraduate direction. Heritage courses will prepare students for working at historical sites and natural resources courses will prepare students for working at state and national parks.

With the deletion of the Historical Interpretation concentration from the B.A. in History degree plan, the minor in Resources Interpretation will become the primary vehicle for interpretative training for history majors. The minor will be open to all majors, including those in the sciences.

The proposal has received the necessary campus approvals. I concur with Chancellor Beran's recommendation and have attached a resolution for your consideration.

Summer 2013


Historical Interpretation Concentration


The history faculty has found the Historical Interpretation concentration to be unviable, as students pursuing the concentration are also required to pursue a minor. The proposed minor in Resources Interpretation will replace the concentration in Historical Interpretation.

In consultation with Dr. Charles Preston of the Draper Museum in Cody, Wyoming, the Resources Interpretation minor has been developed to better reflect the nature of interpretation programs on the national level. Courses in the minor will form the foundation of interpretation and will be chosen to fit the student's interest and intended post-graduate direction. Heritage courses will prepare students for working at historical sites and natural resources courses will prepare students for working at state and national parks.

With the deletion of the Historical Interpretation concentration from the B.A. in History degree plan, the minor in Resources Interpretation will become the primary vehicle for interpretative training for history majors. The minor will be open to all majors, including those in the sciences.


As of the spring semester 2012, thirty-five students are emolled in the B.A. in History with a concentration in Historical Interpretation. Only eleven of these students are close to graduating and have substantial course work completed toward the concentration. Although courses with HIST prefixes are being deleted, new courses with similar content have been created with the RINT prefix. Students who intend to complete the concentration in Historical Interpretation can emoll in these courses and substitutions can be made on their graduation applications. The facu1ty believes that most of the students who have not completed significant coursework in the interpretation concentration will choose to pursue the new degree program and complete the new Resources Interpretation minor.


The faculty estimates that the last student graduating with the B.A. in History with the Historical Interpretation concentration will do so in the spring of2015.

8. NAME OF COURSES THAT WILL BE DELETED AS A RESULT OF THIS ACTION:

HIST 3903 Methods of Historic Site Interpretation HIST 4524 Basic Skills in Interpretation HIST 4533 Interpretation Travel Seminar HIST 4554 Interpretation Planning HIST 4564 Communicating Through Exhibits HIST 4573 Conservation of Heritage Resources


Students are being contacted through their advisers concerning the changes in the program. All students will work with their adviser to determine the best path to completing their degree. As mentioned in section #9, the faculty believes that most students will opt to change their degree program to the new B.A. in History (it is being reduced to 120 credit hours) and will select Resources Interpretation as their minor.


There will be no impact on funding.

March 26,2013


Dear Trustees:

Extracurricular camps are conducted on the various campuses of the University primarily during the summer months and holiday breaks. Authorization of use of University facilities for these camps by University employees for private compensation is permitted by State statute and Board policy. It appears, however, that some camps may be conducted on University campuses and are conducted by the University itself rather than by University employees for private compensation. Those camps may be approved by the Chancellor under campus policies, but since all camps have in the past been approved by the Board, certain camps which are not for private compensation may be included in the attached listing of extracurricular camps. In the future such camps will be authorized by the Chancellor unless the Board wishes to continue to approve them.

Also, the resolution approving the camps has been modified to include additional language concerning the need for policies and training in reporting suspected child maltreatment and conduct of background checks for personnel associated with the camps. Last year there was publicity concerning a policy adopted by the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, on this and the policy has been distributed to other campuses with a suggestion that it be used as a template for campus policies.


Attachment

Sincerely,





University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton/ University of Ar!<:ansas at Fort Smith Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences and the Arts / University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service


RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, the activities involved in the proposed extracurricular camps at the various campuses of the University of Arkansas present no conflict of interest with the mission and purpose of the institution; and

WHEREAS, the activities proposed will bring to each campus a significant number of potential students who might enroll on a particular campus as a result of their exposure to its facilities and its personnel while engaged in these activities; and

WHEREAS, the contemplated activities will generate funds to be paid to the University for housing and meals and for the use of other institutional facilities which will be used to help support the auxiliary functions of the campuses serving to enroll students;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS THAT the Board hereby grants permission for the extracurricular camps set out below to be conducted during 2013-14 and approves the fees as shown.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the campus whose employees are conducting the aforesaid camps shall make certain that policies and contractual provisions are in place to assure that all applicable laws and regulations dealing with mandatory reporting of suspected child maltreatment are followed, that appropriate staffing patterns are utilized, that personnel involved in the conduct of such camps receive instruction in applicable policies, procedures, laws and regulations regarding protection of children, and further that campus officials shall assure that persons involved in the conduct of such camps have undergone criminal background checks (including registered sex offender checks). The President may furnish guidelines for matters to be included in such policies and contractual provisions.
