1. Verification of Quorum and Call to OrderRoll call was taken by Emma Baisden, Executive Assistant to the President/BOG, verifyingthat a quorum was present. Dr. Lisa Haddox-Heston, Board of Governors PresidentialSearch Committee Chair, declared a quorum present and convened the meeting at 5:10p.m.
2. Discussion of the Council for Community and Technical College Education’s Modification to Requirement of Presidential Search Procedure During DeclaredState of Emergency, Council’s Rule Title 135, Series 5, Employing and EvaluatingPresidentsChair Heston informed Board members that the West Virginia Council for Community andTechnical College Education met on March 20, 2020 to discuss the Council’s rule, Title 135,Series 5, Employing and Evaluating Presidents, which requires on-campus interviews byan institution’s students, faculty, staff, and administration of candidates for the presidentialposition who have qualified as finalists. Such meetings require gatherings of large groupsof people. The institutions cannot simultaneously comply with this rule and PresidentTrump’s directive that people not meet in groups larger than ten people. President Trump’sdirective is based on guidelines established by the CDC to protect people’s health andsafety during the COVID-19 pandemic. Strict adherence to the regulatory requirement of in-person, on-campus interviews would most assuredly “prevent, hinder or delay necessaryaction in coping when the emergency[,]” which is the very activity the Governor’s emergencypowers provided in W. Va. Code § 5-15-6(c)(7) are meant to prohibit. Therefore, becauseof the declared state of emergency, the Council has the legal authority to temporarily modifythe application of this rule to provide that the “on-campus” interviews with the finalists cantake place telephonically or via live audio or visual stream, so long as members of the publicmay also participate. The Council approved the temporary modification of the requirementthat the finalist candidates for president be interviewed in-person on campus prior to finalselection during the declared state of emergency.

STAFF MEMBER: Russell Saunders
BACKGROUND:
In accordance with the provisions of the West Virginia Council for Community and TechnicalCollege Education, Title 135, Procedural Rule, Series 37, Increased Flexibility for Community andTechnical Colleges, programs started under the provisions of the rule must undergo a post-auditreview three years after the initial offering of the course of study. The School of Career andTechnical Studies conducted a post-audit review of the Powersports Technology program duringthe 2019-2020 academic year.
Based upon the findings of the post-audit review, viability for the program could not be established. The Powersports Program has struggled to recruit students since its inception despite severalmarketing campaigns which included campus visits, television, social media, posters, flyers, andevents in the community. While program enrollment has increased over the past two years, theA.A.S. degree completion is minimal. Over the life of the program there have been only twograduates. Therefore, it is recommended that the Powersports Technology A.A.S. degree programbe discontinued. The included report provides the information requested by the West VirginiaCouncil for Community and Technical College Education. Additionally, the report providesjustification for the discontinuance of this program.
However, the institution will retain the proprietary Polaris certifications and continue to offer theseskill sets under the direction of the Workforce Development Unit.
Page 44 of 75
A teach-out plan has been developed and is in place for the three students currently enrolled in theprogram. The students are on track to graduate by May 2021.
The post-audit review was presented to the Management Council for Academic Affairs and StudentServices, Executive Council, and President’s Cabinet and they concur with this recommendation.
