Meeting of the OKLAHOMA STATE REGENTS FOR HIGHER EDUCATION

September 14, 2006

AGENDA ITEM #7-a: New Programs. SUBJECT: Oklahoma Panhandle State University (OPSU). Approval of request to offer the

Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve OPSU’s request to offer the Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts with the stipulation that continuation of the program will depend upon meeting the criteria established by the institution and approved by the State Regents as described below. • Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts. Continuation beyond fall 2010 will depend upon:

Majors enrolled: a minimum of 24 students in fall 2009 Graduates: a minimum of 5 graduates in 2009-10

BACKGROUND: Academic Plan OPSU’s Academic Plan lists the following institutional priorities: • Identify/develop courses that can be adapted to online format and train faculty to design courses for

implementation; • Continue technology update for overhead projection systems in classroom and increase availability to

students; • Develop new equine science and Spanish degree programs; preliminary planning for school of education

programs for art, early childhood, special education; assess/upgrade curriculum in all schools; • Enhance development of partnership with PTCI/PTSI video editing/production as enhancement of

computer graphics capabilities; • Support strong programs including: art/computer information systems/education/biology/accounting/

agribusiness/nursing; • Establish drama program and all general education courses online; • Refurbish Hamilton hall 139, Hughes strong auditorium; • Get at least one smart board/proxima in each building; • Identify courses that can be adapted to online format and design for implementation; • Investigate adapting ITV delivery system in Hesper and Hefley halls; • Improve enrollment in mathematics program; • Provide incentives for faculty to obtain advanced degrees; • Move forward in search for nursing director; and • Develop preparatory summer program for completion of developmental coursework prior to fall

enrollment.

1

APRA Implementation Since 1991-92, OPSU has deleted 19 degree and/or certificate programs while adding 9 degree and/or certificate programs. Program Review

OPSU offers 32 degree programs (6 associate and 26 baccalaureate), all of which were reviewed in the past five years with the exception of those programs with specialty accreditation. Programs with specialty accreditation are aligned with OPSU’s program review schedule as appropriate. Thus, if a professional program received a ten-year accreditation, it would not be reviewed for ten years, which is an approved exception to State Regents’ policy. Program Development Process OPSU faculty developed the proposal, which was reviewed and approved by institutional officials and OPSU’s governing board. POLICY ISSUES:

This action is consistent with the State Regents’ “Academic Program Approval” policy. ANALYSIS:

Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts Program purpose. The proposed program will prepare graduates to appreciate and understand the arts and creativity. Program rationale/background. OPSU indicates that it no longer has a baccalaureate program that affords students an opportunity to study arts, humanities, literature, history, and music in a coherent program. As a rural institution and the only baccalaureate provider in the Oklahoma panhandle, OPSU indicates an interest from students for a broad humanities and liberal arts program in its service area. Employment opportunities. OPSU indicates this program will serve the large population of nontraditional students with talents and interests in various fields of the humanities, who have requested such an offering. OPSU students indicate their interest is exploring courses in history, art, philosophy, music, humanities, literature, and drama to enhance their other skills and abilities. Although this program will not prepare students for a specific career field, it will be a broad based program that will provide a breadth of soft skills requested by many employers today. Student demand. The new program is expected to enroll a minimum of 24 majors in fall 2009 and graduate a minimum of 5 students in 2009-10. Duplication/impact on existing programs. The University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, Langston University, Rogers State University, and the University of Central Oklahoma offer similar programs. However, due to distance between institutions, approval will not constitute unnecessary duplication.

2

Curriculum. The proposed program will consist of 124 total credit hours from the following areas (Attachment A): general education (41 credit hours), major courses (43 credit hours), core requirements (18 credit hours), language other than English (4-8 credit hours), and minor courses (18 credit hours). No new courses will be added with the proposed program. Faculty and staff. Existing faculty will teach the proposed program. Support services. Facilities, library resources, and equipment are adequate. Financing. OPSU indicates the program will utilize existing resources and not require reallocation of funds. No funding is requested from the State Regents for the proposed program. Attachment

AGENDA ITEM #7-b: New Programs. SUBJECT: Langston University (LU). Approval of request to offer the Master of Science in Visual

Rehabilitation Services. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve LU’s requests to offer the Master of Science in Visual Rehabilitation Services with the stipulation that continuation of the program will depend upon meeting the criteria established by the institution and approved by the State Regents as described below. • Master of Science in Visual Rehabilitation Services. Continuation beyond fall 2011

will depend upon: Majors enrolled: a minimum of 8 students in fall 2010 Graduates: a minimum of 8 graduates in 2010-11

BACKGROUND: Academic Plan LU’s Academic Plan lists the following institutional priorities for the LU System: • Priority One: continue to shape/strengthen undergraduate/graduate curricula, making the best use of

teaching resources, academic efficiencies, and emerging technologies in supporting teaching/ learning;

• Priority Two: collaborate with institutions of comparable size/interest, the government, and public/private sector to produce competitive advantage in the global marketplace; and

• Priority Three: increase scholarly research activities among faculty, as well as among graduate/undergraduate students.

APRA Implementation Since 1991-92, LU has deleted 12 degree and/or certificate programs while adding 10 degree and/or certificate programs. Program Review

LU offers 39 degree programs (8 associate, 27 baccalaureate, 3 master’s-level, and 1 first professional), all of which were reviewed in the past five years with the exception of those programs with specialty accreditation. Programs with specialty accreditation are aligned with LU’s program review schedule as

5

appropriate. Thus, if a professional program received a ten-year accreditation, it would not be reviewed for ten years, which is an approved exception to State Regents’ policy. Program Development Process LU faculty developed the proposal, which was reviewed and approved by institutional officials and LU’s governing board. POLICY ISSUES:


Master of Science in Visual Rehabilitation Services Program purpose. The proposed program will prepare graduates to provide quality services to the blind or visually impaired through public rehabilitation, non-profit agencies, and in educational settings. Program rationale/background. LU has been working with the Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitative Services to meet expected demands for personnel in the agency. By the year 2007, the agency expects 12 percent of its workforce to retire, with 50 percent of the certified personnel in the Visual Services division eligible to retire in the next 24 months. Due to these alarming forecasts, LU faculty began working on development of a program to meet these anticipated needs. Employment opportunities. LU indicates there are severe shortages looming for visual rehabilitation specialists, as over 50,000 Americans lose their sight each year. The numbers indicate that 5,000 additional teachers, and over 10,000 orientation and mobility specialists are needed immediately to meet the current demand. Studies also indicate there is a growing need for visual rehabilitation specialists and orientation and mobility specialists from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. LU is confident students will have ample employment opportunities. Student demand. The new program is expected to enroll a minimum of 8 majors in fall 2010 and graduate a minimum of 8 students in 2010-11. Duplication/impact on existing programs. Similar programs are offered at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and East Central University, although there are differences in the full curriculum. Due to curricular differences, distance between institutions, and demand, approval will not constitute unnecessary duplication. Curriculum. The proposed program will consist of 57 total credit hours from the following areas (Attachment A): core foundation courses (36 credit hours), Certified Visual Rehabilitation Therapist (CVRT) specific courses, and Certified Orientation and mobility Specialist (COMS) specific courses (total 21 credit hours). The CVRT and COMS courses will require a 350 hour internship in coordination with the Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitation Services Visual Services Division. Seven new courses will be added to the proposed program and are asterisked. LU intends to seek accreditation from the Academy for Certified Vision Rehabilitation and Education Professionals. Faculty and staff. Existing faculty will teach the proposed program, with the addition of one program director and one new faculty position.

6

Support services. Facilities, library resources, and equipment are adequate, with additional resources available through other libraries around the state. Financing. LU indicates the proposed program will be funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Education – Rehabilitation Services. At the end of the grant funding, LU intends to use resources from other non-state sources and existing internal funds. No funding is requested from the State Regents from the proposed program.

AGENDA ITEM #7-c: New Programs. SUBJECT: Northeastern State University (NSU). Approval of request to offer the Bachelor of Arts

in Visual Communications with options in Photography and Multimedia/Web Design. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve NSU’s requests to offer the Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communication with options in Photography and Multimedia/Web Design with the stipulation that continuation of the program will depend upon meeting the criteria established by the institution and approved by the State Regents, as detailed below.

• Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communication. Continuation beyond fall 2011 will depend upon:


BACKGROUND: Academic Plan NSU’s Academic Plan lists the following institutional priorities: • PRIORITY 1 - Maintain controlled growth on the Broken Arrow campus to avoid budgetary and

staffing complications as that campus doubles its physical plant size over the next two years, an expansion that will remove some of the artificial restrictions on program delivery and enrollment at that site. Objective: develop overall plan of program expansion for each campus, with a time schedule that assures academic development at Broken Arrow will not create budgetary disruption at that site and will not adversely impact the programs at our other two campuses.

• PRIORITY 2 - Efficiently utilize available resources to meet the multiple demands in the region

served including new niche programs and an expanded graduate and undergraduate curriculum, while eliminating programs with declining societal need and minimal productivity.

Objective: assess carefully the demand for proposed program and, at the same time and analyze all costs. Analysis requires continuing the practice of deleting lower demand programs and reallocating funds to new programs.

9

• PRIORITY 3 - Improve flexibility in academic offerings by increasing the number of videoconference and online classes providing a more flexible scheduling pattern for potential students who have time constraints, and improving the technical capabilities of a larger percentage of our classrooms on all campuses permitting greater flexibility in course delivery methods.

Objective: continue to increase enrollment the next two years.

• PRIORITY 4 - Continue to increase student retention and graduation rates and first-time freshmen, transfer students, and international students.

Objective: target these groups with the goal of achieving successful increases in each of the three categories during the next academic year the goal is to increase first-time freshmen and transfer students by three percent, to improve retention rate (which remains higher than the target rate for regional institutions in the state) by one percent, to increase the graduation rate by one percent, and to continue to attract international students. A further objective is to continue the study of selected general education courses to determine failure/repeat rate is in line with similar courses throughout the State.

• PRIORITY 5 - Increase efforts to recruit faculty with greater ethnic and gender diversity with academic credentials from a wider range of higher education institutions.

Objective: through faculty recruitment in each of the next three years, employ a higher level of ethnic and gender diversity throughout all of our colleges and a broader range of academic credentials.

APRA Implementation Since 1991-92, NSU has deleted 27 degree and/or certificate programs while adding 20 degree and/or certificate programs. Program Review

NSU offers 90 degree programs (60 baccalaureate, 20 master’s-level, 1 first professional, and 9 certificates), all of which were reviewed in the past five years with the exception of those programs with specialty accreditation. Programs with specialty accreditation are aligned with NSU’s program review schedule as appropriate. Thus, if a professional program received a ten-year accreditation, it would not be reviewed for ten years, which is an approved exception to State Regents’ policy. Program Development Process NSU faculty developed the proposal, which was reviewed and approved by institutional officials and NSU’s governing board. POLICY ISSUES:


Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communication

Program purpose. The proposed program will prepare graduates to conceptualize and design using the latest available technology and effective communications for distribution across multimedia. Program rationale/background. NSU indicates the explosion of communication and entertainment outlets, websites, cable and network television, and video games has increased the demand for creative visual thinkers to provide new and fresh content for these media. As many institutions across the country are working to create similar programs, NSU has many of the resources available. The proposal presented leverages current resources and expertise to create a new program that will provide new avenues to students and provide an opportunity to make them competitive for this growing field. Employment opportunities. NSU reports research from the Bureau of Labor that projects growth in art and design occupations, such as multi-media artists, animators, graphic designers, and media and communications occupations, such as photographers. Demand for positions in these areas is expected to increase by 12 to 15 percent by 2014. NSU also notes that graduates from this program will have opportunities in advertising, marketing, promotions, public relations, and sales manager positions. NSU is confident graduates will have no difficulties finding employment. Student demand. The new program is expected to enroll a minimum of 25 majors in fall 2010 and graduate a minimum of 8 students in 2010-11. Duplication/impact on existing programs. Southeastern Oklahoma State University offers a similar program, and there are options under programs at the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma Panhandle State University with similar content; however, due to the distance between programs and foci of the programs, approval will not constitute unnecessary duplication. Curriculum. The proposed program will consist of 124 total credit hours, with options in “Photography” and “Multimedia/Web Design” with courses from the following areas (Attachment A): general education (45-49 credit hours), major courses (28 credit hours), option requirements (15 credit hours), minor courses (18 credit hours), and electives (14-18 credit hours). Four new courses will be added with the proposed program and are asterisked.

Faculty and staff. Existing faculty will teach the program. Support services. Facilities, library resources, and equipment are adequate. Financing. NSU indicates internal funds will support the proposed program. No funding is requested from the State Regents for the proposed program. Attachment

AGENDA ITEM #7-d: New Programs. SUBJECT: Southeastern Oklahoma State University (SEOSU). Approval of request to offer the

Master of Science in Occupational Safety and Health. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve SEOSU’s requests to offer the Master of Science in Occupational Safety and Health, including electronic delivery, with the stipulation that continuation of the program will depend upon meeting the criteria established by the institution and approved by the State Regents as described below. • Master of Science in Occupational Safety and Health. Continuation beyond fall

2010 will depend upon: Majors enrolled: a minimum of 35 students in fall 2009 Graduates: a minimum of 15 graduates in 2009-10

BACKGROUND: Academic Plan SEOSU’s Academic Plan lists the following institutional priorities: • Brain Gain 2010 Initiative; • American Association of Colleges and Schools of Business – School of Business International

Accreditation Initiative; • Vision 2010 – Development/implementation of action plans; and • Replace critical faculty positions lost during recent budget reductions. APRA Implementation Since 1991-92, SEOSU has deleted 23 degree and/or certificate programs while adding 14 degree and/or certificate programs. Program Review

SEOSU offers 52 degree programs (44 baccalaureate and 8 master’s-level), all of which were reviewed in the past five years with the exception of those programs with specialty accreditation. Programs with specialty accreditation are aligned with SEOSU’s program review schedule as appropriate. Thus, if a professional program received a ten-year accreditation, it would not be reviewed for ten years, which is an approved exception to State Regents’ policy.

13

Program Development Process SEOSU faculty developed the proposal, which was reviewed and approved by institutional officials and SEOSU’s governing board. POLICY ISSUES:

This action is consistent with the State Regents’ policies including “Academic Program Approval” and “Electronically Delivered and Traditional Off-Campus Courses and Programs” policies. ANALYSIS:

Master of Science in Occupational Safety and Health Program purpose. The proposed program will prepare graduates with advanced ability to analyze and interpret safety data, evaluate hazardous safety and health conditions, develop safety and health hazard control designs, and obtain advanced positions in occupational safety and health fields or be prepared for doctoral study. Program rationale/background. Prior to 1988, the Bachelor of Science in Occupational Safety and Health (058) offered by SEOSU was designed to prepare driver education teachers. As the field evolved, the focus of the program changed to occupational safety and health. As the focus of the program has changed, so has the popularity of the program. In 2000, the program had 85 majors. By 2005, the program has almost 300 majors and averages about 70 graduates per year. As the undergraduate program has grown, alumni of this program have requested an advanced degree in Occupational Safety and Health. Employment opportunities. SEOSU indicates this program will prepare graduates to meet the growing demand for credentialed safety professionals. A growing demand in this field was observed by SEOSU participants at the 2005 annual conference of the American Society of Safety Engineers. This group forecasts overwhelming demand for safety professionals with advanced degrees, and expect continued growth with every national and international emergency. Further, the student will be prepared to pursue graduate work in the same field. SEOSU is confident students will have ample employment opportunities. Student demand. The new program is expected to enroll a minimum of 35 majors by fall 2009 and graduate a minimum of 15 students in 2009-10. Duplication/impact on existing programs. There are no similar programs offered currently in the State System. Therefore, approval will not constitute unnecessary duplication. Curriculum. The proposed program will consist of 34 total credit hours from the following areas (Attachment A): required courses (31 credit hours) and electives (3 credit hours). Fifteen new courses will be added with the proposed program. SEOSU intends to seek accreditation for the program from the American Board of Engineering Technology (ABET) and the National Association of Industrial Technology (NAIT). Faculty and staff. Existing faculty will teach the proposed degree program. Support services. Facilities and equipment are adequate. SEOSU intends to purchase advanced industrial hygiene databases for the program at an anticipated cost of $15,000.

14

Financing. SEOSU indicates the proposed program will be funded through existing institutional funds, student tuition and fees, and corporate equipment donations. No funding is requested from the State Regents for the proposed program. Electronic delivery. The proposed program will be delivered using electronic media. Specifically, program offerings will be made available via online instruction. SEOSU successfully completed a best practices review in support of final authorization to offer the Masters in Business Administration degree via electronic media at the October 30, 2003 meeting. Consistent with the Electronic Media Policy, the institution is authorized to offer specified additional existing programs via electronic media without repeating the best practice review process. However, since the Master of Science in Occupational Safety and Health is a new program, continuation of the program including electronic delivery beyond fall 2010 will be contingent upon the program meeting the productivity criteria established by SEOSU and approved by the State Regents, as outlined above.

AGENDA ITEM #7-e: New Programs. SUBJECT: Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU). Approval of request to offer the

Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve SWOSU’s requests to offer the Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science with the stipulation that continuation of the program will depend upon meeting the criteria established by the institution and approved by the State Regents as described below. • Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science. Continuation beyond fall 2012 will depend

upon: Majors enrolled: a minimum of 60 students in fall 2011 Graduates: a minimum of 15 graduates in 2011-12

BACKGROUND: Academic Plan SWOSU’s Academic Plan lists the following institutional priorities: • During the academic year, faculty/staff/administration/stakeholders members continued work on the

Agenda for Excellence-2010 and developed strategic vision and goals. Strategic Goal Teams are identifying/prioritizing action items to achieve these goals and are expected to finalize the action items by the end of the academic year;

• Encourage faculty involvement in scholarly activities and grant writing with a goal to increase the number of proposals by 20 percent in the current academic year. The University Research and Scholarly Activity Committee will form a working group to assist new faculty with grant writing;

• Increase retention rate of freshmen by at least five percent using an intensive study skills course to assist students experiencing academic difficulties or students seeking to improve their skills; and

• Maintain quality programs by hiring outstanding faculty candidates. APRA Implementation Since 1991-92, SWOSU has deleted 52 degree and/or certificate programs while adding 18 degree and/or certificate programs.

17

Program Review

SWOSU offers 60 degree programs (8 associate, 39 baccalaureate, 12 master’s-level, and 1 first professional), all of which were reviewed in the past five years with the exception of those programs with specialty accreditation. Programs with specialty accreditation are aligned with SWOSU’s program review schedule as appropriate. Thus, if a professional program received a ten-year accreditation, it would not be reviewed for ten years, which is an approved exception to State Regents’ policy. Program Development Process SWOSU faculty developed the proposal, which was reviewed and approved by institutional officials and SWOSU’s governing board. POLICY ISSUES:


Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science Program purpose. The proposed program prepares graduates to provide preventative health services in the corporate or community setting, or to provide rehabilitative health services in a clinical setting. Program rationale/background. The proposed program will provide experiences for the study of health, fitness, wellness and sport that prepares graduates with the values, experiences, and skills necessary for future leadership roles as scholars engaged in lifelong learning and as professionals serving their communities through the promotion of healthy behaviors and lifestyles in a variety of career choices. The program will meet the Exercise Science standards of the National Association of Sport and Physical Education. The program will also prepare students for certification by the two most recognized organizations in the fitness industry - the American College of Sports Medicine and the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Employment opportunities. The program is designed to prepare students for a broad range of health and fitness related professions through a curriculum that focuses on the applied sciences of exercise physiology, exercise testing and developing treatment, motor control, and the sociology of exercise behavior. Students completing this program will have opportunities in pre-physical therapy, pre-occupational therapy, cardiac rehabilitation, personal training, strength and conditioning specialists, fitness and wellness management, sports nutrition, and other health promotion occupations, and continuation into graduate programs. SWOSU is confident students will have ample employment opportunities. Student demand. The new program is expected to enroll a minimum of 60 majors by fall 2011 and graduate a minimum of 15 students in 2011-12. Duplication/impact on existing programs. There are similar programs offered at Oklahoma State University and the University of Oklahoma. Both East Central University and Oklahoma Panhandle State University offer options in this content area under other program titles. Due to the potential demand for the program and the distance between offering institutions, approval will not constitute unnecessary duplication.

18

Curriculum. The proposed program will consist of 120 total credit hours from the following areas (Attachment A): general education (43-44 credit hours), major courses (43 credit hours), minor areas (18-24 credit hours), and elective courses (10-16 credit hours). Four new courses will be added with the proposed program and are asterisked. Faculty and staff. Existing faculty or qualified faculty will teach the proposed program on overload and SWOSU may add qualified adjunct faculty members. Support services. Facilities, library resources, and equipment are adequate. The addition of the new $6 million Wellness Center provides classroom and laboratory space, with shared equipment with the Department of Kinesiology, the Athletic Training Program, and the Wellness Center. Financing. SWOSU indicates the proposed program will be funded through internal funds and tuition generated. No funding is requested from the State Regents for the proposed program. Attachment

APRA Implementation Since 1991-92, UCO has deleted 54 degree and/or certificate programs while adding 7 degree and/or certificate programs.

21

Program Review

UCO offers 88 degree programs (60 baccalaureate, 27 master’s-level, and 1 certificate), all of which were reviewed in the past five years with the exception of those programs with specialty accreditation. Programs with specialty accreditation are aligned with UCO’s program review schedule as appropriate. Thus, if a professional program received a ten-year accreditation, it would not be reviewed for ten years, which is an approved exception to State Regents’ policy. Program Development Process UCO faculty developed the proposal, which was reviewed and approved by institutional officials and UCO’s governing board. POLICY ISSUES:

This action is consistent with the State Regents’ “Academic Program Approval”policy. ANALYSIS:

Master of Music in Jazz Studies Program purpose.

AGENDA ITEM #7-g: New Programs. SUBJECT: Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences (OSU-CHS). Approval of request

to offer the Graduate Certificate in Forensic Examination of Questioned Documents. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve OSU-CHS’s requests to offer the Graduate Certificate in Forensic Examination of Questioned Documents with the stipulation that continuation of the program will depend upon meeting the criteria established by the institution and approved by the State Regents, as detailed below. • Graduate Certificate in Forensic Examination of Questioned Documents.

Continuation beyond fall 2011 will depend upon: Majors enrolled: a minimum of 15 students in fall 2010 Graduates: a minimum of 8 graduates in 2010-11

BACKGROUND: Academic Plan OSU-CHS’s Academic Plan lists the following institutional priorities:

• Goal One. Research - Become a center for excellence in research.

• Goal Two. Fiscal Resources - Diversify fiscal resources.

• Goal Three. Collaborations – Establish new partnerships and strengthen existing relationships in order to enhance OSU-CHS as a leader in research, education, and community outreach.

25

APRA Implementation Since 1991-92, OSU-CHS has deleted 0 degree and/or certificate programs while adding 3 degree and/or certificate programs. Program Review

OSU-CHS offers 5 degree programs (3 master’s-level, 1 doctoral, and 1 first professional), all of which were reviewed in the past five years with the exception of those programs with specialty accreditation. Programs with specialty accreditation are aligned with OSU-CHS’s program review schedule as appropriate. Thus, if a professional program received a ten-year accreditation, it would not be reviewed for ten years, which is an approved exception to State Regents’ policy. Program Development Process OSU-CHS faculty developed the proposal, which was reviewed and approved by institutional officials and OSU-CHS’s governing board. POLICY ISSUES:


Certificate in Forensic Examination of Questioned Documents Program purpose. The proposed program will provide support in the training of questioned documents examiners. Program rationale/background. OSU-CHS received approximately 60 letters requesting the development of advanced questioned documents courses. OSU-CHS offers the Master of Forensic Sciences Administration (003), which includes some of these courses. In response, OSU-CHS developed the 12-hour course of study that would support the professional certification process for document examiners. At the 61st Annual Conference of the American Society of Questioned Document Examiners, OSU-CHS faculty made presentations regarding the planned development of the certificate program and the graduate degree offered. Following review of the OSU-CHS proposed program, the American Board of Forensic Document Examiners made a decision to recognize the proposed coursework as meeting part of the academic training requirement for document examiners who are completing required components of its professional certification. Employment opportunities. OSU-CHS indicates this certificate will prepare graduates for positions as document examiners for such agencies as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Secret Service, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the Inspector General for Tax Administration, The U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing’s Advanced Counterfeit Deterrent Section, the U.S. Department of Justice, Immigrations and Naturalization Service, and the Central Intelligence Agency. These agencies, among others in the document examination industry expect a shortage of document examiners as many professionals approach retirement age. OSU-CHS is confident students will have ample employment opportunities.

26

Student demand. The new program is expected to enroll a minimum of 15 majors in fall 2010 and graduate a minimum of 8 students in 2010-11. Duplication/impact on existing programs. There are no similar programs in the State System. Therefore, approval will not constitute unnecessary duplication. Curriculum. The proposed program will consist of 12 total credit hours (Attachment A). No new courses will be added to the proposed program. Faculty and staff. Existing faculty will teach the certificate program. Support services. Facilities, library resources, and equipment are adequate. Financing. OSU indicates the proposed certificate will be funded through internal funds. No funding is requested from the State Regents. Attachment

AGENDA ITEM #7-h: New Programs. SUBJECT: Oklahoma State University-Oklahoma City (OSU-OKC). Approval of request to offer

the Certificate in Montessori Teacher Education. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve OSU-OKC’s request to offer the Certificate in Montessori Teacher Education with the stipulation that continuation of the programs will depend upon meeting the criteria established by the institution and approved by the State Regents, as detailed below. • Certificate in Montessori Teacher Education. Continuation beyond fall 2011 will

depend upon: Majors enrolled: a minimum of 20 students in fall 2010 Graduates: a minimum of 6 graduates in 2010-11

BACKGROUND: Academic Plan OSU-OKC’s Academic Plan lists institutional priorities for the OSU-OKC Campus as follows: • National accreditation for qualified programs; • Externally accredited programs that rank above the national average; • Unqualified Higher Learning Commission regional accreditation; • Twenty percent of faculty/staff providing leadership in professional organizations; • Five new educational programs for underserved groups; • Ten new support services for underserved groups; • Provide an annual private scholarship for a student in an underserved population; and • Expanded facilities and support for distance learning. APRA Implementation Since 1991-92, OSU-OKC has deleted 41 degree and/or certificate programs while adding 35 degree and/or certificate programs.

29

Program Review

OSU-OKC offers 44 degree or certificate programs (7 associates, 32 associate in applied science, and 5 certificates), all of which were reviewed in the past five years with the exception of those programs with specialty accreditation. For programs with specialty accreditation, OSU-OKC aligns its program review schedule with the accreditation cycles, so that programs are reviewed when faculty are preparing for an accreditation visit. Thus, if a professional program receives a ten-year accreditation, it would not be reviewed for ten years, which is an approved exception to State Regents’ policy. Program Development Process OSU-OKC faculty developed the proposal, which was reviewed and approved by institutional officials and OSU-OKC’s governing board. POLICY ISSUES:


Certificate in Montessori Teacher Education Program purpose. The proposed program will prepare students to work as lead infant/toddler caregivers in a center-based program and/or as the sole caregiver in a family child care home-based business, following the Montessori philosophy. Program rationale/background. OSU-OKC is responding to the call for an entry-level training program in the Montessori philosophy of education for young children. The Montessori approach offers a broad vision of education as an aid to life. Montessori is designed to help children with their task of inner construction as they grow from childhood to maturity. Montessori classrooms provide a prepared environment where children are free to respond to their natural drive to work and learn. Children’s inherent love of learning is encouraged by giving them opportunities to engage in spontaneous, meaningful activities under the guidance of a trained adult. Through their work, the children develop concentration, motivation, persistence, and discipline, at their own pace and rhythm, according to their individual capabilities. OSU-OKC is working with the Department of Human Services Division of Child Care and members of the American Montessori Society to develop the certificate. It also has a partnership with Oklahoma City University, which offers a four-year program in Montessori teacher preparation. Employment opportunities. OSU-OKC indicates that program graduates will be highly sought as the demand for infant/toddler child care grows. There is high demand for child-care providers; especially for babies and toddlers in seven counties in the Oklahoma City Metropolitan area. Also, more families desire higher quality care for children during the critical developmental years of birth to five-years. The U.S. Department of Labor documents the increasing demand for trained workers in these areas as well. OSU-OKC is confident that graduates will have no difficulties finding employment. Student demand. The new certificate is expected to enroll a minimum of 20 students in fall 2010 and graduate a minimum of 6 students in 2010-11.

30

Duplication/Impact on existing programs. There are no similar certificate programs offered in the State System, so approval will not constitute unnecessary duplication. Curriculum. The proposed certificate will consist of 36 total credit hours from the following areas (Attachment A): general education courses (3 credit hours) and technical specialty courses (33 credit hours). Six new courses will be added with the proposed program and are asterisked. Faculty and staff. Existing faculty will teach the proposed certificate program, with the addition of an adjunct instructor with qualifications in Montessori education. At maturity, OSU-OKC anticipates the demand to warrant a full-time faculty position with Montessori qualifications. No additional faculty resources are requested. Support services. The library, facilities, and equipment are adequate, and current funds will be utilized to acquire additional Montessori specific teaching materials and classroom resources. Financing. OSU-OKC indicates reallocation of existing resources and student tuition will support the proposed program. No additional funding is requested for this program. Attachment

upon: Majors enrolled: a minimum of 10 students in fall 2008 Graduates: a minimum of 5 graduates in 2008-09

• Certificate in Office Science. Continuation beyond fall 2008 will depend upon:


BACKGROUND: Academic Plan CASC’s 2006 Academic Plan includes the following institutional priorities: • Provide leadership for the development and implementation of a mature academic assessment plan; • Maintain relationship with the service area, determining the need for new or modified instructional

programs or other types of support for area businesses and industry; • Continue expanding course offerings through effective and innovative delivery formats; • Develop a faculty development program that effectively provides appropriate opportunities for

faculty; and • Increase the number of AAS degrees offered by CASC.

33

APRA Implementation Since 1991-92, CASC has deleted 12 degree and/or certificate programs while adding 9 degree and/or certificate programs. Program Review CASC offers 34 degree programs (23 associates, 8 associate in applied science, and 3 certificates), all of which were reviewed in the past five years with the exception of those programs with specialty accreditation. For programs with specialty accreditation, CASC aligns its program review schedule with the accreditation cycles, so that programs are reviewed when faculty are preparing for an accreditation visit. Thus, if a professional program receives a ten-year accreditation, it would not be reviewed for ten years, which is an approved exception to State Regents’ policy. Program Development Process CASC faculty developed the proposal, which was reviewed and approved by institutional officials and CASC’s governing board. POLICY ISSUES:

This action is consistent with the State Regents’ “Academic Program Approval” and the “Delivery of Electronically Delivered and Traditional Off-Campus Courses and Programs” policies. ANALYSIS:

Associate in Arts in Film Studies

Program purpose. The proposed program will prepare students for work in feature filmmaking, documentary, technical production, writing/editing, corporate marketing, or public relations. Program rationale/background. As the film industry becomes increasingly global, filmmakers no longer need to relocate to accomplish their goals. Independent filmmakers are in every corner of the globe utilizing the Internet and digital editing technology. Many businesses are turning to video production for clients, customers, and product information. Students with expertise in this area will have many opportunities. Employment opportunities. Graduates will be qualified to seek positions in filmmaking and documentary production in Oklahoma and elsewhere. In addition, the preparation in mass communications will provide foundational preparation for work in other areas of journalism. CASC has working relationships with the Oklahoma Film and Music Commission and the Oklahoma Film and Video Studies Society to provide further opportunities to students. CASC is confident graduates of this program will have no difficulties finding employment. Student demand. The new program is expected to enroll a minimum of 25 majors in fall 2009 and graduate a minimum of 13 students in 2009-10. Duplication/Impact on existing programs. Oklahoma City Community College offers a similar program in film and video production; however, considering the expected demand for the proposed program and the distance between institutions, approval will not constitute unnecessary duplication.

34

Curriculum. The proposed program will consist of 63-65 total credit hours from the following areas (Attachment A): general education courses (40 credit hours), major core courses (16 credit hours), and guided electives (7-9 credit hours). Six new courses will be added with the proposed program and are asterisked. Faculty and staff. Existing faculty will teach the proposed program. Support services. Facilities, library resources, and equipment are adequate. Financing. CASC will utilize internal reallocation of funds to support the program and grant funding for some equipment purchase. No funding is requested from the State Regents for the proposed program.

Certificate in Dietary Management Program purpose. The proposed program will prepare students for work in food service facilities and prepare them for successful completion of the credentialing examination for Certified Dietary Managers. Program rationale/background. A growing need was found in southeastern Oklahoma for trained managers in food service facilities. Through a telephone survey of agencies and facilities in the area, respondents expressed need for employees with training and professional competence in dietary management positions. Employment opportunities. Graduates will be qualified to seek positions in long-term care facilities, hospitals and school cafeterias, as well as other food service facilities. CASC is confident graduates of this program will have no difficulties finding employment. Student demand. The new program is expected to enroll a minimum of 10 majors in fall 2008 and graduate a minimum of 5 students in 2008-09. Duplication/Impact on existing programs. There are no similar certificate programs offered in the State System, so approval will not constitute unnecessary duplication. Curriculum. The proposed program will consist of 30 total credit hours from the following areas (Attachment B): general education courses (9 credit hours) and technical specialty courses (21 credit hours). Six new courses will be added with the proposed program and are asterisked. CASC will seek accreditation by the Dietary Managers Association for this program. Faculty and staff. CASC will designate one faculty member to teach in the program and serve as the program director. As the program matures, CASC anticipates the addition of one adjunct instructor. Support services. Facilities, library resources, and equipment are adequate. Financing. CASC will utilize internal reallocation of funds to support the program. No funding is requested from the State Regents for the proposed program. Electronic delivery. The proposed program will be delivered using electronic media. Specifically, program offerings will be made available via online instruction. CASC successfully completed a best practices review in support of final authorization to offer the Associate in Arts in Business Administration via electronic media. CASC’s best practice review was accepted by the State Regents at the June 30, 2005 meeting. Consistent with the Electronic Media Policy, the institution is with State Regents’

35

approval, the institution is authorized to offer additional existing programs via electronic media without the 2-step approval process that includes a best practice review.

Certificate in Office Science Program purpose. The proposed program will prepare students for entry level positions in clerical areas. Program rationale/background. CASC is working with the local Department of Human Services office to provide specialized services to clients receiving Temporary Aid for Needy Families (TANF) assistance. The proposed certificate program will provide a vehicle for clients to attain basic job skills, along with some basic academic skills to increase employability and lessen reliance on public assistance. Employment opportunities. Graduates will be qualified to seek positions in the local community of business and industry as clerical employees. CASC will work closely with TANF staff on placement of students completing the certificate program. It will also provide an opportunity for students to attain success in an academic setting and promote further educational attainment. Student demand. The new program is expected to enroll a minimum of 10 majors in fall 2007 and graduate a minimum of 8 students in 2007-08. Duplication/Impact on existing programs. Most community colleges, such as Connors State College, Eastern Oklahoma State College, Murray State College, Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College, Oklahoma City Community College, Rose State College, Seminole State College, Tulsa Community College, and Western Oklahoma State College, offer a similar certificate program to address local business and industry needs,. Considering the distance between institutions and the place-bound nature of the target student population, approval will not constitute unnecessary duplication. Curriculum. The proposed program will consist of 30 total credit hours from the following areas (Attachment C): core courses (21 credit hours), option area courses (6 credit hours), and elective (3 credit hours). No new courses will be added to the proposed program. Faculty and staff. Existing faculty will teach the proposed program. Support services. Facilities, library resources, and equipment are adequate. Financing. CASC will utilize internal reallocation of funds to support the program. No funding is requested from the State Regents for the proposed program. Attachments

AGENDA ITEM #7-j: New Programs. SUBJECT: Redlands Community College (RCC). Approval of request to offer the Certificate in

Computer Forensic Science. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve RCC’s request to offer the Certificate in Computer Forensic Science with the stipulation that continuation of the program will depend upon meeting the criteria established by the institution and approved by the State Regents as detailed below • Certificate in Computer Forensic Science. Continuation beyond fall 2010 will

depend upon: Majors enrolled: a minimum of 10 students in fall 2009 Graduates: a minimum of 5 graduates in 2009-10

BACKGROUND: Academic Plan RCC’s Academic Plan lists the following institutional priorities: • Enhance overall effectiveness of the institution through planning and decision-making processes

supported by collecting/using relevant data, cost-effective fiscal operations, internal instructional/management review process, improved physical facilities that enhance student learning;

• Increase/enhance institutional capacity to serve unique educational, personal, career needs of all student, community, business constituents served by RCC;

• Increase institutional capacity to provide relevant/technologically advanced instructional support resources, equipment, facilities to enhance student learning, business/industry training, economic development;

• Develop/maintain faculty, staff, administrative competencies in new instructional/management technologies;

• Seek additional/alternative sources of revenue that provide more consistent funding for RCC; and • Continue developing, monitoring, maintaining assessment process to ensure data is utilized to

enhance student learning/instructional effectiveness. APRA Implementation Since 1991-92, RCC has deleted 42 degree and/or certificate programs while adding 12 degree and/or certificate programs.

Program Review

RCC offers 32 degree programs (26 associate and 6 certificates), all of which were reviewed in the past five years with the exception of those programs with specialty accreditation. Programs with specialty accreditation are aligned with RCC’s program review schedule as appropriate. Thus, if a professional program received a ten-year accreditation, it would not be reviewed for ten years, which is an approved exception to State Regents’ policy. Program Development Process RCC faculty developed the proposal, which was reviewed and approved by institutional officials and RCC’s governing board. POLICY ISSUES:


Certificate in Forensic Science Program purpose. The proposed program will prepare students to work in the field of computer forensics as an added credential rather than a full degree program. Program rationale/background. The addition of a certificate program was suggested by the Computer Forensic Science Advisory Committee, with a recommendation that some of these courses be offered electronically. Advisory committee members encouraged RCC to develop the program and promote it to employers who may be willing to support students in the additional training. Many of these employees and students possess a degree and are interested in expanding their knowledge and skills for added job responsibilities or other career options. Employment opportunities. RCC indicates its advisory committee members, made up of local business leaders in computer forensics has strong support for the certificate for new and current workers. As an added credential, RCC is confident students completing the certificate program will have ample employment or advancement opportunities. Student demand. The new program is expected to enroll a minimum of 10 majors in fall 2009 and graduate a minimum of 5 students in 2009-10. Duplication/impact on existing programs. There are no similar programs in the State System. Therefore, approval will not constitute unnecessary duplication. Curriculum. The proposed program will consist of 24 total credit hours (Attachment A). No new courses will be added to the proposed certificate. Faculty and staff. Existing faculty will teach the certificate program. Support services. Facilities, library resources, and equipment are adequate.

42

Financing. RCC indicates the proposed certificate will be funded through internal funds. No funding is requested from the State Regents. Attachment

AGENDA ITEM #8: Program Deletions. SUBJECT: Approval of institutional requests. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve institutional requests for program deletions as described below.

BACKGROUND: Southeastern Oklahoma State University (SEOSU) requests authorization to delete the Bachelor of Science in Technology (033) and the Bachelor of Arts in Social Gerontology (055). Connors State College (CSC) requests authorization to delete the Associate of Science in Business Accounting (004). Rose State College (RSC) requests authorization to delete the Associate in Applied Science in Electronics Technology (017), Associate in Applied Science in Aviation (016) and Associate in Applied Science in Industrial Technology (116). Oklahoma City Community College (OCCC) requests authorization to delete the Associate in Science in Cyber/Information Security (141), Associate in Applied Science in Cyber/Information Security (140), and the Certificate in Financial Services (118). POLICY ISSUES: This action is consistent with the State Regents’ policies on “Academic Program Review” and “Academic Program Review.” ANALYSIS: SEOSU SEOSU requests deletion of the Bachelor of Science in Technology (033) and the Bachelor of Arts in Social Gerontology (055). SEOSU reports the Bachelor in Science Technology (033) was deleted from the catalogue in December of 2000 due to no enrollment. No students remain in the program and no funds are available for reallocation. The Bachelor of Arts in Social Gerontology (055) was suspended in July 2003. Since that time, SEOSU has evaluated the program and determined there is no clear demand for the program in southeastern Oklahoma. Three students still remain in the program and will be allowed to complete the required curriculum for graduation. No new students have been admitted to the program since 2003. No funds are available for reallocation.

45

CSC CSC requests deletion of the Associate of Science in Business Accounting (004). The program was suspended in June 2003. There as been no student or employer demand for this program since 2003. No students remain in the program and no funds are available for reallocation. RSC RSC requests deletion of the Associate in Applied Science in Electronics Technology (017), Associate in Applied Science in Aviation (016) and Associate in Applied Science in Industrial Technology (116). All three programs were suspended in May 2005 due to low enrollment and graduation rates. No students remain in the programs. The remaining funds will be reallocated to the Engineering and Science Division to support further program development. OCCC OCCC requests deletion of the Associate in Science in Cyber/Information Security (141), Associate in Applied Science in Cyber/Information Security (140), and the Certificate in Financial Services (118). It has been determined the students prefer to receive and employers prefer to hire graduates with a computer science degree with an emphasis in cyber/information security rather than an Associate in Cyber/Information Security (141). The 19 remaining students are expected to graduate in spring 2008. Funds will be redirected to Computer Science. A similar finding was determined for the Associate in Applied Science in Cyber/Information Security (140). The 52 remaining students are expected to graduate in spring 2008, with funds redirected to Computer Science. The Certificate in Financial Services (118) was suspended in August 2003 due to no enrollment. The program was determined as non-viable with no student demand. No students remain in the program and no funds are available for reallocation.

AGENDA ITEM #9: Policy-Institutional. SUBJECT: Oklahoma State University (OSU) posting of request to delay implementation of

increased admission standard. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents post OSU’s request to delay implementation of increased admission standard Option 2 as described below.

BACKGROUND: OSU was authorized in April 2004 to increase admission standards for first-time entering students. The admission standards were to be incrementally increased over the next three years, beginning with the 2005-06 school year and ending with the 2007-2008 year (see table below). OSU has researched on the success of the increased standards and is requesting that increased admission standard Option 2 (see gray box) be delayed for at least two years. The OSU A&M governing board approved this request on June 23, 2006.

Institution Proposed for Summer 2005-06

Proposed for Summer 2006-07

Proposed for Summer 2007-08

Option 1: ACT/SAT

3.0 GPA AND

ACT 20 or SAT 940

3.0 GPA AND

ACT 21 or SAT 980

POLICY ISSUES: The State Regents’ “Institutional Admission and Retention” policy establishes admission requirements and principles for institutions. The policy encourages institutions to establish higher admissions standards but at the same time these standards should be based on indices which have been shown to be related to success in the program(s).

47

ANALYSIS: OSU is approaching the third year (2007-2008) of increasing standards as indicated above. Analysis by OSU's Division of Enrollment Management in cooperation with the Office of Institutional Research indicates that both overall enrollment and diversity goals of the institution could be adversely affected by implementing Option 2 (3.0 GPA and top 25%) during 2007-2008. Therefore, OSU requests approval to delay for at least two years implementation of Option 2 and keep it at the 2006-2007 standard (3.0 GPA and top 33%). Plans to implement Option 1 and 3 will take effect as planned in 2007-2008 because research indicated that the ACT score criteria has resulted in a stronger class (as measured by ACT class average). Approval to post OSU’s request to delay implementation of Option 2 as described above is recommended.

AGENDA ITEM #10-a: Policy. SUBJECT: Teacher Shortage Employment Incentive Program (TSEIP). RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents post the proposed permanent rule amendments for the Teacher Shortage Employment Incentive Program (TSEIP) and initiate the process for the adoption of permanent rule revisions.

BACKGROUND: During the 2000 legislative session, Senate Bill 1393 expressed intent that the State Regents implement a program to reimburse student loan expenses for science and mathematics students who teach these subjects in Oklahoma’s public schools for at least five (5) years. The 2001 legislature amended HB 1499 to ensure that all who meet the provisions of TSEIP are eligible to receive an incentive payment based on a formula. TSEIP’s first graduating class received an incentive payment in July 2006. Section 610:25-27-2 lists all educational student loans eligible for repayment under the TSEIP program. Recently, the Higher Education Reconciliation Act (HERA) created a new type of loan called the Graduate PLUS Loan that is also eligible under TSEIP rules. The proposed amendment would be to add this loan to the list of eligible student loans and for it to be included in section 610:25-27-2 as sub-paragraph (6). In section 610:25-27-4, under Coursework requirements for participant eligibility, sub-paragraph (4) states that a participant must, “Secure employment to teach in either a science or mathematics subject areas within sixteen months of graduating from a four-year institution in Oklahoma.” This employment requirement is not related to coursework which is the focus of the section. Therefore, it is necessary to delete sub-paragraph (4). No replacement language is necessary since sub-paragraph (3) of section (610:25-27-6) adequately addresses the intent of the rule. POLICY ISSUES: Rules governing the TSEIP program must be adopted pursuant to APA rules. APA changes outlined in this agenda item are necessary to be consistent with new law regarding Graduate Plus loans and to remove an unnecessary rule. ANALYSIS: Undergraduates who uphold the requirements of the TSEIP and who subsequently obtain employment in the required amount of time are eligible for the incentive payout. Changing the current rules as outlined

49

above will increase the type of loans eligible under TSEIP and eliminate an unnecessary section of the rules. Approval of posting the APA rule amendments is recommended.

AGENDA ITEM #10-b: Minority Teacher Recruitment Center. SUBJECT: Modification of the Minority Teacher Recruitment Center (MTRC) programs and

services outlined in the Rule and Executive Orders Document and State Regent’s policy. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents post revisions to the MTRC State Regent’s policy and the APA permanent rule amendments for the MTRC and initiate the process for the adoption of permanent rule revisions.

BACKGROUND: Created in 1990 through House Bill 1017, the State Regents’ Minority Teacher Recruitment Center (MTRC) is charged with developing and implementing programs to recruit and retain teachers in Oklahoma public schools. In order to achieve this objective, MTRC conducts several programs and offers various services that are outlined in the Rule and Executive Orders Document. In section 610:1-13-3, under Programs and Services, the current document list programs that are no longer offered by the MTRC Teacher Cadet and Pro Team. In 2001, with the creation of two new Oklahoma specific curricula, Teacher Cadet was replaced by the Academic Commitment to Education (ACE) Program and Pro Team was replaced by the Leadership, Education and Achievement Program (LEAP). The proposed amendment to section 610:1-13-3 replaces the current content with new language. POLICY ISSUES: This change applies to the “Minority Teacher Recruitment Center” policy. It removes and adds specific content in the Rules and Orders Document so that it corresponds with law and maintains accuracy, requires amending the previous document made effective May 13, 2004. Rules governing the MTRC program must be adopted pursuant to the APA. ANALYSIS: To achieve its primary goal of recruiting, retaining, and placing minority teachers in the public schools of the State of Oklahoma, the MTRC offers a variety of programs and services. Parties interested in the programs and services can obtain additional information by contacting the MTRC at the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education office. Changing the current descriptions listed under the MTRC “Programs and services” section, will reflect the programs that MTRC currently administers. It will also reflect the legal change regarding new MTRC curricula as mandated by copyright laws. Approval of the posting of the rule amendments as defined by the Administrative Procedures Act is recommended.

610:1-13-3. Programs and services To achieve its primary goal of recruiting, retaining, and placing minority teachers in the public schools of the State of Oklahoma, the MTRC offers a variety of programs and services. Parties interested in the programs and services can obtain additional information by contacting the MTRC at the State Regents for Higher Education office.

(1) Teacher Cadet High School Program. The Teacher Cadet program serves as an outreach effort creating an interest among high school students for teaching careers and promoting an understanding of our nation’s education system. The Teacher Cadet curriculum consists of a yearlong course taught at the high school site by teachers selected by the high school principal. During the yearlong course, students examine how children learn, study the educational system from a hands-on perspective, and gain practical experience in elementary, middle school and high school classrooms. (2) Pro Team Middle School Program. The goal of Pro Team program is to make middle school and junior high school students aware of the skills needed to complete college and consider education as a viable career option. During the semester-long course, students actively participate in activities that focus on building self-esteem, helping others, developing group skills and building a vision for a professional future. (3) Collegiate Partnership Grant Program. The MTRC’s Collegiate Partnership Grant Program provides grants to projects and activities that support the overall goals and objectives of the MTRC. In this program, the MTRC provides funds to individual public school sites for the Teacher Cadet and ProTeam programs, to school districts and institutions of higher education that identify public school students interested in becoming teachers and provide on-campus activities for them and their parents, as well as, activities that promote teacher education to undergraduate students on the campus.

(1) Academic Commitment to Education (ACE). The ACE program is an exemplary program

that encourages high school students who possess high academic and leadership standards to consider teaching as a viable career. The yearlong course is designed to provide opportunities for students to explore the education system, learn about different areas and levels of teaching, conduct observations and focus on portfolio development. The program takes a hands-on, practical approach to teaching careers and is taught by instructors selected by the school principal.

(2) Leadership, Education and Achievement Program (LEAP). LEAP is a course designed for middle and junior high school students and targeted towards those students that exhibit the potential for academic success. Like ACE, LEAP is also a yearlong course which encourages students to consider a career in education. However, other careers are observed as well. The course provides students with the skills necessary to be successful in high school and college and prepares them for high academic achievement. Preparation also involves activities for advancing leadership skills, team building skills, and service learning. Instructors are selected by the principal.

(3) Collegiate Grant Program. The Collegiate Grant Program supports the overall objectives of the MTRC by providing a link between institutions of higher education, MTRC pre-collegiate programs and K-12 districts in the interest of promoting, recruiting and retaining teachers. Grants provided to the colleges of education within these various institutions, enable pre-collegiate and collegiate students to gain a better understanding of careers in education and allows them to interact with professionals already in the field Some of the grants support financial aid for

54

students, on-campus skill development activities and mentor/parent/peer support structures for prospective teachers.

Meeting of the

OKLAHOMA STATE REGENTS FOR HIGHER EDUCATION September 14, 2006

AGENDA ITEM #10-c: Policy. SUBJECT: Approval of revisions to three policies – “Institutional Admission and Retention,”

“Assessment,” and “Remediation and Removal of High School Curricular Deficiencies.” RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve revisions to the “Institutional Admission and Retention,” “Assessment”, and “Remediation and Removal of High School Curricular Deficiencies” posted at the June meeting.

BACKGROUND: At the June 29, 2006 State Regents’ meeting, along with approval of revisions to the Policies and Procedures manual, additional revisions to three academic policies were posted for action in September. These revisions include the following three policies: the “Institutional Admission and Retention,” “Assessment,” and “Remediation and Removal and High School Curricular Deficiencies.” POLICY ISSUES: The authority for enacting and ensuring compliance with these policies is derived from the Oklahoma Constitution, Article XIII-A, Section 2 and 70 O.S. 1981, Section 3206, especially subsection (3)(m), which confers upon the State Regents all powers necessary or convenient to accomplish their constitutional purposes and objectives. The policies were posted instead of approved in June due to changes recommended and approved by the Presidents Council and the Council on Instruction. ANALYSIS: The policy revisions for these three policies clarify that both high school curricular deficiencies and academic skills deficiencies must be remediated within a student’s first 24 credit hours. Also, instead of requiring a policy exception, the policy allows students to take courses beyond the 24 hours as long as they are enrolled continuously in remedial courses. The titles to these policies were also altered consistent with the comprehensive update of State Regents’ policies approved in June 2006. Changes to the policies are attached for your review. Since posting the policy revisions in June, a minor editorial change was made to clarify the definition of remediation as follows (in italics): “Remediation: Process for removing curricular or basic academic skills deficiencies through remedial/developmental course work or supplemental instruction (tutorials, work-book, self-paced learning, etc.) or other interventions that lead to demonstration of competency.” Staff recommends approval of the three policies as posted in June.

Basic Academic Skills Deficiencies: Assessment requirements that have not been met by either the minimum ACT subject scores (English, math, science reasoning, or reading) or institutional secondary assessments required for a student to enroll in college-level courses in the subject area. Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA): The average of a student’s earned grades calculated by point values assigned to letter grades that includes grades for all course work, including activity courses and forgiven course work. This GPA may be used for financial aid or eligibility purposes, admission to graduate or professional programs, or to determine eligibility for graduation honors. Curricular Deficiencies: High school curricular requirements required for college admission that have not been met by the student in high school. Curricular Requirements: The 15 units of high school course work required for college admission to public colleges and universities in the State System. These include four units of English, three units of mathematics, two units of laboratory science, three units of history and citizenship skills, and three units of elective courses that fit into one of the categories above or foreign language or computer science. Elective Courses: Those courses that fulfill the additional three high school units to meet the total of 15 required by the State Regents for college admission.

60


Entry Level Assessment and Placement: An evaluation conducted prior to enrollment which assists institutional facilities and counselors in making decisions that give students the best possible chance of success in attaining academic goals. First-Time-Entering Student: A student with six or fewer attempted credit hours, excluding remedial/developmental (zero-level courses) or pre-college work and excluding credit hours accumulated by concurrently enrolled high school students. General Education Development Test (GED): Recognized high school diploma equivalency exam. Good Academic Standing: Any student who meets the retention requirements as set forth in this policy is in good academic standing. Remedial/Developmental Courses: Zero-level courses that do not carry college credit and are designed to raise students’ competency in the subject area to the collegiate level. Remediation: Process for removing curricular or basic academic skills deficiencies through remedial/developmental course work or supplemental instruction (tutorials, work-book, self-paced learning, etc.) or other interventions that lead to demonstration of competency. Retention/Graduation Grade Point Average (GPA): The average of a student’s earned grades calculated by point values assigned to letter grades that is used to determine a student’s eligibility to remain enrolled or graduate from an institution. Activity courses and forgiven course work are not calculated in the retention/graduation GPA. (See the State Regents’ Grading Policy.) This GPA may be used for financial aid or eligibility purposes, admission to graduate or professional programs, or to determine eligibility for graduation honors. Transcript: Official document issued by an institution with student information that is a complete and accurate reflection of a student’s academic career. Includes information such as cumulative and retention/graduation GPAs, semesters of attendance, courses taken, grades and credit hours awarded, degrees received, academic standing, academic honors, and transfer information. Transfer Student: Any undergraduate student with greater than six attempted credit hours, excluding remedial/developmental (zero-level courses) or pre-college work and excluding credit hours accumulated by concurrently enrolled high school students.

3.10.3 Admission of First-Time Freshmen: Curricular Requirements Students must meet the criteria for both the high school curricular requirements and the high school performance requirementscriteria as defined in the following sections. Students meeting both the high school curricular and the high school performance requirementscriteria are eligible for admission. This section includes curricular requirements for regular admission. A. High School Curricular Requirements for Admission to Programs Leading to AA, AS and

Baccalaureate Degrees

Units

(Years)

Course Areas

4

English (grammar, composition, literature; should include an integrated writing component)

2

Lab Science (Biology, chemistry, physics or any lab science certified by the school district; General science with or without a lab may not be used to meet this requirement.) Effective fall 2010, three lab science courses will be required for college admission.

3 Mathematics (from algebra I, algebra II, geometry, trigonometry, math

analysis, calculus, Advanced Placement statistics)

3 History and Citizenship Skills (including 1 unit of American history and 2 additional units from the subjects of history, economics, geography, government, non-Western culture)

3

Additional units of subjects previously listed or selected from computer science, foreign language, or any Advanced Placement course except applied courses in fine arts. Effective fall 2010, the number of additional units will be reduced to two.

15

Total Required Units

Computer science courses (one or more units) that meet the State Regents' guidelines for high school curricular requirements may satisfy the postsecondary systemwide computer proficiency graduation requirement (see the State Regents’ Undergraduate Degree Requirements Policy). In addition to the above requirements, the following subjects are recommended for college preparation:

2 additional units: Fine arts - music, art, drama, and speech 1 additional unit: Lab science (as described above) 1 additional unit: Mathematics (as described above) 4 Recommended Units

62


While these curricular requirements will normally be met by students in grades 9 through 12, advanced students who complete these courses in earlier grades will not be required to take additional courses for purposes of admission. The remaining units required by the State Board of Education for high school graduation may be selected from courses to meet students' individual needs and interests.

B. Curricular Deficiencies Students pursuing admission to AA, AS, AAS, or baccalaureate degree programs may not count remedial/developmental courses toward satisfaction of degree program requirements. 1. Baccalaureate Programs

Students must meet all basic academic skills curricular requirements (English, mathematics, and science) to be admitted to baccalaureate programs at research or regional institutions. Students with a deficiency in a non-basic academic skills course (excludes English, mathematics, and science) who present an ACT reading subject score at or above the specified level or who score at the designated level on any approved secondary institutional reading assessment instrument may be admitted as a regular admission student. These students will be required to complete an additional three-hour collegiate course in the relative subject area to make up the high school deficiency (see the State Regents’ Remediation and Removal of High School Curricular Deficiencies Policy). Other exceptions are noted in the special admission options outlined later in this policy. If an institution admits students with one or more curricular deficiencies to a baccalaureate program utilizing in the alternative admission category, the institution must provide the means to satisfy those deficiencies (see the State Regents’ Remediation and Removal of High School Curricular Deficiencies Policy) and the student must successfully remediate basic academic skills course requirements within 24 college-level hours attempted. Students continuously enrolled in courses designed to remove deficiencies may be allowed to continue enrollment beyond the 24 hour limit. or have all subsequent enrollments restricted to deficiency removal courses until all deficiencies are removed.

2. Associate in Arts and Associate in Science Programs

Students lacking curricular requirements are admissible into AA or AS programs in the community colleges but must remediate curricular deficiencies in the basic academic skills deficiencies at the earliest possible time but within the first 24 college-level hours attempted. Students continuously enrolled in courses designed to remove deficiencies may be allowed to continue enrollment beyond the 24 hour limit. or have all subsequent enrollments restricted to deficiency removal courses until all deficiencies are removed. In addition, students must remove curricular deficiencies in a discipline area before taking collegiate level work in that discipline.

3. Associate in Applied Science Programs

Students entering AAS degree programs or other certificate programs must remove high school curricular requirement deficiencies before taking courses in the same field as part of an AAS degree or certificate program. Students admitted under this provision may not transfer into an AA, AS or baccalaureate program without first removingcompleting the high school curricular deficiencies.

63


Students may remove curricular deficiencies as detailed in the State Regents’ Remediation and Removal of High School Curricular Deficiencies Policy. The institution’s president or the president’s designee may allow a deserving student who failed to remediate a basic academic skills deficiency in a single subject to continue to enroll in collegiate level courses in addition to remedial course work beyond the 24-hour limit providing the student has demonstrated success in collegiate courses to date. Such exceptions must be appropriately documented. Students pursuing admission to AA, AS, AAS, or baccalaureate degree programs may not count remedial/developmental courses toward satisfaction of degree program requirements.

CB. Applied Courses

The use of applied courses to meet the high school curricular requirements is to be considered an alternative. College bound students are encouraged to take courses currently specified in the State Regents' Institutional Admission and Retention Policy. The State Regents are interested in experimenting with alternative delivery systems that might facilitate student interest and success. It must be noted that the State Regents request and expect high school transcripts to be valid and reflective of the actual courses taken by students; anything less threatens the integrity of the academic process. One year of Principles of Technology may substitute for one of the currently required lab science courses providing that students taking the course also successfully complete a lab science course listed in the State Regents’ Institutional Admission and Retention Policy. Additionally, the Principles of Technology course must be taught by a teacher certified or endorsed in physics who has completed the specialized training to instruct the course.

64



3.10.4 Admission of First-Time Freshmen: Performance Requirements

Students must meet the criteria for both the high school curricular requirements and the high school performance requirementscriteria as defined in the following sections. Students meeting both the high school curricular and the high school performance requirementscriteria are eligible for admission. This section includes performance requirements for regular admission which includes three options for admission: standardized tests, GPA in all courses plus class rank, or GPA in the State Regents’ 15-units of required high school core courses. The ACT score used for admission purposes is the composite score without the writing component. The SAT score used for admission purposes is the combined critical reading and math scores without the writing component. Students utilizing a test other than ACT will have their scores converted to ACT equivalents. The high school class rank is one more than the number of students in the high school graduating class who have a grade-point average greater than the student in question. A GED recipient’s high school class must have graduated to be eligible for admission. The president or the president’s designee may allow exceptions on an individual student basis. Any exceptions, including subsequent student academic performance, will be reported to the State Regents upon request. The University of Oklahoma (OU) is authorized by the State Regents to also require a minimum average standard GED score for automatic admission. The GPA used for admission purposes in option 2 is the unweighted average of all grades (“A” equating to 4.00 and “D” equating to 1.00) taken in the 9th through 12 grades. The GPA used for admission purposes in option 3 shall add a standard weighting (1.0) to The College Board’s Advanced Placement courses and the International Baccalaureate Organization’s higher-level courses (an “F” remains zero). While the State Regents strongly support the initiation of honors courses, honors weighting will not be used in the calculation of either GPA because there is no equitable mechanism to include the honors premium. The exact standardized test scores and GPA will vary over time, and may differ at each institution. The GPA will be defined annually to correspond to the rank in class. The ACT score equivalent to these percentages will be determined based on the average of the preceding three years' ACT scores of graduating seniors if available. Oklahoma test data will be used. The concordance table used to set the equivalent SAT score is updated regularly. First-time entering students must also meet entry-level assessment requirements before enrolling in college-level courses. See the State Regents’ Assessment Policy for more information.

65



3.10.6 Special Admission I. Concurrent Enrollment of High School Students

High school students wishing to enroll concurrently in college courses must meet the admission standards detailed below and the ACT assessment requirements in the State Regents’ Assessment Policy. The ACT standard is based on Oklahoma norms and the SAT standard is based on national norms. All other students not qualified by grade level as specified in this section might be considered for full enrollment or concurrent enrollment under the Opportunity Admission Category.

1. Workload

A high school student admitted under the provision set forth below may enroll in a combined number of high school and college courses per semester not to exceed a full-time college workload of 19 semester-credit-hours. A student may enroll in a maximum of nine semester-credit-hours during a summer session or term at a college or university of the State System without the necessity of being concurrently enrolled in high school classes during the summer term. For purposes of calculating workload, one-half high school unit shall be equivalent to three semester-credit-hours of college work. Students wishing to exceed these limits may petition the selected higher education institution. The appropriate institutional officials will evaluate the student's academic performance and potential for success in determining the student's load, which may not exceed the number of semester-credit-hours 50 percent greater than the number of weeks in the applicable semester/term. The college should provide appropriate academic advising prior to and continuing throughout the student's enrollment.

2. Curricular Requirements

The completion of the high school curricular requirements set forth in section 3.10.3 of this policy shall not be required of concurrently enrolled high school students for purposes of admission. However, students may only enroll in curricular areas where they have met the ACT assessment requirements for college placement as stated in the (see the State Regents’ Assessment Policy). A high school student not meeting the designated score in science reasoning, mathematics, and English will not be permitted enrollment in the corresponding college subject area. A student scoring below the established ACT score in reading will not be permitted enrollment in any other collegiate course (outside the subjects of science, mathematics, and English). Secondary institutional assessments and remediation are not allowed for concurrent high school students. Concurrently admitted high school students will not be allowed to enroll in any remedial/developmentalzero-level courses offered by colleges and universities designed to remove high school curricular or basic academic skills deficiencies.

Excerpt from the State Regents’ Assessment Policy

3.20.1 Purpose Accountability to the citizens of Oklahoma within a tax-supported educational system is very important. Improvement in student learning, measurable through assessment programs, is an achievable outcome, and the responsibility of the State System. 3.20.2 Definitions For the purposes of this policy, the following definitions apply: Assessment of Student Satisfaction: Measures of perceptions of student and alumni satisfaction with campus programs and services. Basic Academic Skills: Minimum required skills for college success in English, mathematics, science, and reading. Basic Academic Skills Deficiencies: Assessment requirements that have not been met by either the minimum ACT subject scores (English, math, science reasoning, or reading) or institutional secondary assessments required for a student to enroll in college-level courses in the subject area. Curricular Deficiencies: High school curricular requirements required for college admission that have not been met by the student in high school. Curricular Requirements: The 15 units of high school course work required for college admission to public colleges and universities in the State System. These include four units of English, three units of mathematics, two units of laboratory science, three units of history and citizenship skills, and three units of elective courses that fit into one of the categories above or foreign language or computer science. Elective Courses: Those courses that fulfill the additional three high school units to meet the total of 15 required by the State Regents for college admission. Entry Level Assessment and Placement: An evaluation conducted prior to enrollment which assists institutional facilities and counselors in making decisions that give students the best possible chance of success in attaining academic goals. General Education Assessment: Measures of competencies gained through the student’s general education program. Graduate Student Assessment: Measures of student learning and evaluations of student satisfaction with instruction and services beyond the standard assessment requirements for admission to and graduation from a graduate program. Program Outcomes Assessment (or major field of study assessment): Measures of how well students are meeting institutionally stated program goals and objectives.

67

Remedial/Developmental Courses: Zero-level courses that do not carry college credit and are designed to raise students’ knowledge competency in the subject area to the collegiate level. Remediation: Process for removing curricular or basic academic skills deficiencies through remedial/developmental course work or supplemental instruction (tutorials, work-book, self-paced learning, etc.) or other interventions that lead to demonstration of competency. Student Assessment: A multi-dimensional evaluative process that measures the overall educational impact of the college/university experience on students and provides information for making program improvements. 3.20.3 Institutional Requirements Each college and university shall assess individual student performance in achieving its programmatic objectives. Specifically, each institution will develop criteria, subject to State Regents' approval, for the evaluation of students at college entry to determine academic preparation and course placement; general education assessment to determine basic skill competencies; program outcomes assessment to evaluate the outcomes in the student's major; and student perception of program quality including satisfaction with support services, academic curriculum, and the faculty. Such evaluation criteria must be tied to stated program outcomes and learner competencies. Data at each level of assessment will be reported to the State Regents annually and will include detailed information designed to ensure accountability throughout the system. Detailed information on assessment reporting is available in the Academic Affairs Procedures Handbook available upon request. In recognition of varying institutional missions and clientele served, assessment components will be campus based under the leadership of the local faculty and administrators providing the procedures meet the requirements detailed in the following sections. Assessment programs should consider the needs of special populations in the development of policies and procedures. Finally, as institutions develop criteria and select assessment mechanisms, each program component should be coordinated and complement the whole. 3.20.4 Entry Level Assessment and Placement A. Minimum Basic Academic Skills Requirements

Each institution will use established ACT scores at or above the State Regents’ established minimum in the four subject areas of science reasoning, mathematics, reading, and English as the initial determinant for individual student readiness for college level course work. These minimum ACT subscores provide a standard for measuring student readiness across the State System and The minimum established scores are evaluated by the State Regents on an annual basis. Students scoring below the minimum level, will be required to remediate in the discipline area or, consistent with institution's approved assessment plan, undergo additional testing to determine the level of readiness for college level work consistent with the institution’s approved assessment plan, or successfully complete remedial/developmental course work in the subject area. Students must remediate basic academic skills deficiencies at the earliest possible time but within the first 24 college-level hours attempted. Students continuously enrolled in courses designed to remove deficiencies may be allowed to continue enrollment beyond the 24 hour limit. More information concerning removing curricular deficiencies may be found in the State Regents’ Remediation and Removal of High School Curricular Deficiencies Policy. Similarly, institutions may, within their

68

approved assessment plans, establish higher standards by requiring additional testing of those students meeting or exceeding the minimum ACT subject test score requirement. These minimum subject test score requirements will be communicated regularly to college bound students, parents, and common schools for the purpose of informing them of the levels of proficiency in the basic academic skills areas needed to be adequately prepared for college level work. ACT subscores provide a standard for measuring student readiness across the State System. Students admitted under the special adult admission provision may be exempt from entry-level assessment requirements consistent with the institution’s approved assessment plan.

B. Concurrently Enrolled High School Students

For high school students wishing to enroll concurrently in college courses, the established ACT score in the four subject areas will apply as follows: A high school student not meeting the designated score in science reasoning, mathematics, and English will not be permitted enrollment in the corresponding college subject area. A student scoring below the established ACT score in reading will not be permitted enrollment in any other collegiate course (outside the subjects of science, mathematics, and English). Secondary institutional assessments and remediation are not allowed for concurrent high school students.

Students admitted under the special adult admission provision may be exempt from this requirement.

C. Institutional Programs

Institutional entry level assessment programs should include an evaluation of past academic performance, educational readiness (such as mental, physical, and emotional), educational goals, study skills, values, self-concept and motivation. Student assessment results will be utilized in the placement and advisement process to ensure that students enroll in courses appropriate for their skill levels. Tracking systems should be implemented to ensure that information from assessment and completion of course work is used to evaluate and strengthen programs in order to further enhance student achievement and development. The data collection activities should be clearly linked to instructional improvement efforts. `

3.21 Remediation and Removal of High School Curricular Deficiencies

3.21.1 Purpose 3.21.1 Purpose This policy specifies how students who lack the 15 required high school curricular units for college This policy specifies how students who lack the 15 required high school curricular units for college admission or competency in the basic academic skills core areas of English, mathematics, science, and reading for college admission may satisfy them the deficiencies within the State System. 3.21.2 Definitions For the purposes of this policy, the following definitions will apply: Basic Academic Skills: Minimum required skills for college success in English, mathematics, science, and reading. Basic Academic Skills Deficiencies: Assessment requirements that have not been met by either the minimum ACT subject scores (English, math, science reasoning, or reading) or institutional secondary assessments required for a student to enroll in college-level courses in the subject area. Curricular Deficiencies: High school curricular requirements required for college admission that have not been met by the student in high school. Curricular Requirements: The 15 units of high school course work required for college admission to public colleges and universities in the State System. These include four units of English, three units of mathematics, two units of laboratory science, three units of history and citizenship skills, and three units of elective courses that fit into one of the categories above or foreign language or computer science. Elective Courses: Those courses that fulfill the additional three high school units to meet the total of 15 required by the State Regents for college admission. Entry Level Assessment and Placement: An evaluation conducted prior to enrollment which assists institutional facilities and counselors in making decisions that give students the best possible chance of success in attaining academic goals. Remedial/Developmental Courses: Zero-level courses that do not carry college credit and are designed to raise students’ knowledge competency in the subject area to the collegiate level. Remediation: Process for removing curricular or basic academic skills deficiencies through remedial/developmental course work or supplemental instruction (tutorials, work-book, self-paced learning, etc.) or other interventions that lead to demonstration of competency. 3.21.3 Principles A. High School Curricular Requirements

The State Regents' Institutional Admission and Retention Policy lists 15 units of high school curricular requirements for admission to programs leading to associate in arts, associate in science, and baccalaureate degrees. As defined in the policy, students must meet all high school basic academic curricular requirements to be admitted to the research or regional institutions. The only exceptions are noted in the special admissions and summer provisional admission options. The policy

70

requires institutions admitting students with one or more curricular deficiencies in the special admission categories to provide the means to satisfy those deficiencies. and to remediate these deficiencies within the first 24 college-level credit hours attempted. The high school curricular admission requirements were adopted by the State Regents to help ensure adequate high school academic preparation. It is the expectation of the State Regents that students applying for college entry will have successfully completed, at a minimum, the required high school course work. Research indicates that the academic preparation a student receives in high school correlates with success in college. Specifically, students who take more high school core subjects generally score higher on the ACT and earn better grades in college than students who take a minimum number of core courses. High school students should consider the prescribed 15 unit high school core curriculum a minimum standard. Students are encouraged to take additional core courses. Some students will lack these requirements upon entering Oklahoma colleges and universities; others will have taken the required courses but will remain unskilled in the disciplines.

B. Basic Academic Skills Requirements

The State Regents’ Assessment Policy requires that each college and university assess individual students at college entry to determine academic preparation and course placement. Each institution uses established ACT scores at or above the State Regents’ established minimum in the four subject areas of science reasoning, mathematics, reading, and English as the initial determinant for individual student readiness for college level course work. These minimum ACT subscores provide a standard for measuring student readiness across the State System and are evaluated by the State Regents on an annual basis. Students scoring below the minimum level are required to undergo additional testing to determine the level of readiness for college level work consistent with the institution’s approved assessment plan, or successfully remediate in the subject area.

C. The following principles are the foundation for this policy:

1A. Certain disciplines, most notably mathematics, English, and science, build on requisite knowledge. College courses in such disciplines assume a student knowledge base gained in high school or other previous academic experiences. It is therefore imperative that students not enter collegiate courses in these fields lacking that knowledge.

2B. Students should not enroll in collegiate courses in history or other elective courses without a

necessary foundation in reading and writing. 3C. Students who can demonstrate competency in an academic field even though they did not take the

required course(s) in high school will have the curricular deficiency waived for purposes of remediation. Such students will be allowed to enter the respective discipline's collegiate courses.

4D. Within the State System, the community college tier is officially designated as responsible for the

remedial/developmental education function. While institutions in other tiers, with the exception of regional universities with assigned community college functions, do not have this remedial/development responsibility, such schools may offer remedial/developmental courses if fully supported through student fees.

3.21.4 Student Demonstration of Curricular Competencies A. Systemwide Procedures

71

Student competency may be demonstrated and deficiencies removed in the nine required units of

basic academic skills courses—science, English, and mathematics—through the use of system ACT subscores in the three subject areas of science reasoning, English, and mathematics respectively. Institutions may, within their approved assessment plans, establish higher standards by requiring additional testing of those students meeting or exceeding the minimum ACT subject test score requirement. The system ACT subject scores are set by the State Regents and communicated annually. Students who are successful in demonstrating curricular competencyies in all deficiency areas and who meet the required institutional performance criteria may be regularly admitted and will not count against the Alternative Admission Category's enrollment limit (see the State Regents’ Institutional Admission and Retention Policy).

B. Institutional Procedures Student competencies may be demonstrated and deficiencies removed by an entry-level,

institutionally developed or adopted assessment procedure in the appropriate discipline area consistent with the institution's approved assessment plan. Such an assessment procedure/instrument must be uniformly applied, have demonstrated content validity, and be a reliable measure of student competence. Students are required to score at a level which equates to the systemwide ACT score requirement for the basic skills subjects.

Institutional procedures for demonstration of student competencies and for removing curricular deficiencies do not apply to concurrently enrolled high school students. (see the State Regents’ Assessment Policy). Concurrently enrolled high school students may only enroll in curricular areas where they have met the ACT assessment requirements for college placement as stated in the State Regents’ Assessment Policy. A high school student not meeting the designated ACT score in science reasoning, mathematics, and English will not be permitted enrollment in the corresponding college subject area. A student scoring below the established ACT score in reading will not be permitted enrollment in any other collegiate course (outside the subjects of science, mathematics, and English). Secondary institutional assessments and remediation are not allowed for concurrent high school students. Additionally, concurrently admitted high school students will not be allowed to enroll in any remedial/developmental courses offered by colleges and universities designed to remove high school curricular or skills deficiencies.

C. Student Remediation of Curricular Deficiencies in Basic Academic Skills Courses Students with curricular deficiencies in mathematics, English, reading, and science who fail to

demonstrate adequate curricular competence through a minimum ACT subject score or institutional secondary assessment will be required to enroll in remedial/developmental courses or participate in remedial activities designed to remedy the deficiency. Students must receive a grade equivalent to a "C" or better to remove the deficiency.

D. Student Procedures for Removal of Curricular Deficiencies in History, Citizenship Skills, and/or

Elective (Additional) Courses Students with a curricular deficiency in history or citizenship skills who present an ACT reading

subscore at or above the specified level or who score at the designated level on any approved secondary institutional reading assessment instrument may be admitted as regular admission students. These students will be required to complete an additional three-hour collegiate history or citizenship skills course to make up the high school deficiency. Students with an elective deficiency may also be admitted as regular admission students as specified in the State Regents’ Institutional Admission and

72

Retention Policy, but will be required to take an additional three-hour collegiate course in an elective subject area(s).

E. Reading Competency To successfully complete college courses, students must be able to read at a minimum level. While

high school reading courses are not specifically required, student reading competency is expected and assessed. (See the State Regents’ Assessment Policy for assessment requirements in the area of reading.)

F. Limits

Students with basic academic skills deficiencies or lacking curricular requirements are admissible into AS or AA programs but must remove the basic academic skills deficiencies at the earliest possible time but within the first 24 college-level hours attempted. Students continuously enrolled in courses designed to remove deficiencies may be allowed to continue enrollment beyond the 24 hour limit. or have all subsequent enrollments restricted to deficiency removal courses until the deficiencies are removed. Students must also remove curricular deficiencies in a discipline area before taking collegiate level work in that discipline. Students admitted to AAS programs must remove deficiencies prior to taking collegiate level work in that discipline.

All sStudents must successfully remediate basic academic skills course requirements within the first 24 hours attempted or have all subsequent enrollments restricted to deficiency removal courses until the deficiencies are removed. The president or the president’s designee may allow a deserving student who failed to remediate a basic academic skills deficiency in a single subject to continue to enroll in collegiate level courses in addition to remedial course work beyond the 24-hour limit providing the student has demonstrated success in collegiate courses to date. Such exceptions must be appropriately documented.

AGENDA ITEM #11-a: Technical-Occupational Program Review. SUBJECT: Oklahoma Panhandle State University (OPSU). Acceptance and approval of evaluation

team recommendations. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents accept and approve the evaluation team recommendation for the technical-occupational programs described below.

BACKGROUND: Since 1976, the State Regents have required technical-occupational Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree and certificate programs to be evaluated on a five-year cycle as authorized by the U.S. Department of Education. State Regents’ policy requires institutions to submit self-study reports by February 1 of the year the programs are evaluated. Teams composed of external evaluators review materials and participate in an on-site visit to evaluate the programs and verify the self-study reports. A team chairman is selected to prepare the team report. Institutions have an opportunity to review the team report and make factual corrections before the report is finalized. The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education offers 263 AAS degree programs at 18 institutions (two technical branches, three urban and nine rural community colleges, and four baccalaureate degree-granting institutions functioned to offer technical-occupational programs). These degree programs enroll over 21,000 students and graduate approximately 2,700 students each year. POLICY ISSUES: This action is consistent with the State Regents’ “Technical-Occupational Program Evaluation” policy. As required by this policy, an external team of qualified consultants evaluates technical-occupational programs and makes one of three recommendations for each program: 1) unqualified continuation - five years; 2) qualified continuation - one to four years; or 3) discontinuation. In the event of adverse action, the president of the institution may request an appeal of the action. The State Regents subsequently would schedule a hearing and a final determination would be made based upon the evaluation report and the evidence presented by the institution at the appeal hearing. If an institutional appeal is denied, the institution may submit a request for a new evaluation one year after the appeal is denied.

75

76

ANALYSIS: External evaluation teams visited OPSU on May 1-3, 2006. The following materials were reviewed by the team:

Self-study reports; Accreditation reports; Policy manuals; Catalogs and class schedules; and Related State Regents’ policies.

The teams conducted interviews with institutional representatives including:

President; Chief academic officer; Administrative staff; Department chairpersons; Faculty; Advisory committee members; Graduates; and Students.

A brief summary of the team’s recommendations is provided below. The president reviewed the teams’ reports and recommendations. As specified in policy, only factual corrections were submitted. Attachment A lists the institution, the date of the evaluation visit, the evaluation team, programs reviewed, the team recommendation, and the year of the next technical-occupational program review. The external teams’ evaluation reports are available upon request.

OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE STATE UNIVERSITY The evaluation team made recommendations for two degree programs as summarized below: √ As in past evaluations, the Farm and Ranch Management program (025) does not meet the minimum

standards for unqualified continuation as required by the State Regents. The team recommends qualified continuation of the program for two years. If the objectives are met in a two-year period, the program may continue for another three years. However, if the objectives are not met, the program shall be discontinued. Objectives:

1. Provide evidence that a good-faith recruitment effort has taken place with 12 students enrolled in

the program by fall 2008. 2. Provide evidence that the advisory committee is meeting regularly and has impacted the program.

Such evidence should include assessment procedures, employer evaluations, curriculum development, etc. to be developed by fall 2008.

3. Provide evidence that a good faith effort has been made in terms of preparing the enrollees in the program for immediate employment after graduation by fall 2008.

√ As in past evaluations, the Technology program (050) does not meet the minimum standards for

unqualified continuation as required by the State Regents. The team recommends qualified continuation of the program for two years. If the objectives are met in a two-year period, the program may continue for another three years. However, if the objectives are not met, the program shall be discontinued.

77

Objectives: 1. Provide evidence that a good-faith recruitment effort has taken place with 12 students enrolled in

the program by fall 2008. 2. Provide evidence that the advisory committee is meeting regularly and has impacted the program.

Such evidence should include assessment procedures, employer evaluations, curriculum development, etc. and must be developed by fall 2008.

3. Provide evidence that a good faith effort has been made in terms of preparing the enrollees in the program for immediate employment after graduation by fall 2008.

The team noted the following through observations and conversations with administration and faculty:

There is a sense of pride and commitment to students in both programs, and a strong concern to continue to provide the AAS degree;

This focus on students and their learning is commended as the faculty involved in the program reviews conveyed energy, professionalism, and a desire to make the programs viable for the institution in its planning process for the future; and

The university was receptive and willing to accommodate requests for additional information during this visit. During the visit, the team heard rationale from the administration and faculty to continue these two programs.

It is recommended that the evaluation team’s recommendations as noted above be approved. Attachment

AGENDA ITEM #11-b: Technical-Occupational Program Review. SUBJECT: Connors State College (CSC), Eastern Oklahoma State College (EOSC), and Rose State

College (RSC). Approval of requests regarding degree programs recommended for qualified continuation from technical-occupational program evaluations.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents accept the recommendations regarding technical-occupational programs and certificates as described below.

BACKGROUND: Since 1976, the State Regents have required technical-occupational Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree programs and certificates to be evaluated on a five-year cycle as authorized by the U.S. Department of Education. The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education offers 263 AAS degree programs at 18 institutions (two technical branches, three urban and nine rural community colleges, and four baccalaureate degree-granting institutions functioned to offer technical-occupational programs). These degree programs enroll about 21,000 students and graduate approximately 2,700 students each year. The State Regents’ “Policy Statement of Criteria and Procedures for Evaluating Technical-Occupational Degree and Certificate Programs” (now titled, “Technical-Occupational Program Evaluation”) requires institutions to submit self-study reports by February 1 of the year the programs are evaluated. Teams composed of external evaluators review materials and participate in an on-site visit to evaluate the programs and verify the self-study reports. A team chairman is selected to prepare the team report. As required by the “Technical-Occupational Program Policy,” the external team submits one of three recommendations for each program: 1) unqualified continuation - five years; 2) qualified continuation - one to four years; or 3) discontinuation. Institutions have an opportunity to review the team report and make factual corrections before the report is finalized. In 2002 and 2003, selected technical-occupational AAS degree and certificate programs offered by CSC, EOSC, and Rose were granted qualified continuation through 2006. POLICY ISSUES: This action is consistent with the State Regents’ policy on “Technical-Occupational Program Evaluation.”

79

ANALYSIS: CSC At the June 27, 2002 meeting, the State Regents recommended the following programs for qualified continuation (four years) with the stipulation that continuation of these programs would depend upon addressing the stated issues.

Associate in Applied Science in Child Development Associate (063). Recommended for qualified continuation (four years) due to low productivity and/or a lack of articulation to baccalaureate programs.

•

• Associate in Applied Science in Agriculture Equine Technology (066). Recommended for qualified continuation (four years) due to low productivity and/or a lack of articulation to baccalaureate programs.

CSC reports that it modified the AAS in Child Development (063) program curricular requirements, courses, instructional delivery, and assessment of student learning since the 2002 review. Productivity has improved in graduates (four graduates in the fall 2005 semester, over the zero graduates in previous year). Enrollment continues to decrease as more students enroll in the Associate in Arts (AA) in Child Care program, which is a part of the Scholars in Excellence in Childcare program offered through the State Regents and the Department of Human Services. A role still exists for the program until all students move to the AA program. CSC reports the AAS in Agriculture Equine Technology (066) has not accurately reported graduates and has met the State Regents’ minimum of 5 graduates per year. The program provides students with hands-on training with horses from breeders in a five-state area. CSC has continued to focus on recruitment and graduation of students in this program. Continuation of the AAS in Child Development (063) and the AAS in Agriculture Equine Technology (066) programs until CSC’s next technical-occupational evaluation, which is scheduled for spring 2007, is recommended. EOSC At the June 27, 2002 meeting, the State Regents recommended the following technical-occupational programs for qualified continuation (four years) with the stipulation that continuation of these programs would depend upon addressing the stated issues.

• Associate in Applied Science in Forest Technology (020). Recommended for qualified

continuation (four years) due to low productivity. EOSC reports that the program has had strong, consistent productivity, although below State Regents’ policy minimum requirements. The program is unique to Oklahoma, and one of only 21 such programs recognized nationally as meeting the standards of the Society of American Foresters. The program continues to meet a demand in EOSC’s service area. Continuation of the Associate in Applied Science in Forest Technology (020) program until EOSC’s next technical-occupational evaluation, which is scheduled for spring 2007, is recommended.

80

RSC At the June 30, 2003 meeting, the State Regents recommended the following technical-occupational programs for qualified continuation (three years) with the stipulation that continuation of these programs would depend upon addressing the stated issues.

• Associate in Applied Science in Library Technology Assistant (055). • Certificate in Library Technology Assistant (102). • Associate in Applied Science in Broadcast Communications (070). These programs were recommended for qualified continuation (three years) due to low enrollment and graduation, the need for greater advisory committee involvement and focus on employer needs, the need for faculty to complete professional certifications, and documentation of program success for two relatively new programs.

RSC reports that the degree and certificate in Library Technology Assistant (055 & 102) are unique programs in the State System and help provide adequate training for school librarians across the state. Courses within the programs had increased enrollments in 2004, 2005, and 2006. The program also achieved five graduates in the 2005-06 academic year. RSC is also looking at ways to continue to market the program, and make direct linkages with the Master of Library and Information Science program offered by the University of Oklahoma. RSC is also considering online delivery of courses which could increase completions. RSC considers the program and certificate important in providing services to public and private libraries across the state. RSC reports that the AAS in Broadcast Communications (070) had many students enrolling with the intent to transfer to a baccalaureate program without completing the AAS degree. In response, RSC developed a short-term certificate program to meet the focused needs of students and employers who do not seek a full degree. In addition, faculty are marketing and recruiting for the program with high school journalism programs in the area. Faculty are also considering a restructure of the program to blend broadcast and journalism courses, technologies and faculty resources into a transferable associate in arts degree with print journalism and broadcast journalism options. RSC indicates the program is important to business and industry that need more trained broadcast students. Continuation of these programs until RSC is next technical-occupational evaluation, which is scheduled for spring 2008, is recommended.

AGENDA ITEM #12: Accreditation. SUBJECT: Intensive English Program. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents accredit the Edmond Language Institute – Tahlequah (ELI-T) for two years.

BACKGROUND: Approving English language centers has been part of the State Regents’ “Policy Statement on Admission of Students for Whom English is a Second Language” (policy now titled, “Intensive English Program Approval and Review”) since 1980. Beginning with the 1995 review, out-of-state evaluators with expertise in directing English as a Second Language (ESL) programs have been hired to conduct the reviews. In fall 1996, an English Language Institute committee was convened to work with State Regents’ staff to revise the policy to include standards for the centers and an approval process. This committee consisted of representatives from proprietary and institutionally-based English language centers. The State Regents approved this policy in April 1997. The approval process includes a self-study report and an external evaluation team visit. The evaluation team prepares a report of findings on each standard and recommends one of the following: (1) approval without qualification with reexamination in five years; (2) provisional approval with reexamination in one, two, three, or four years; or (3) deny approval. The evaluators compare the self-study to the standards outlined in the policy and verify the information in the self-study with observations from the on-site visit, providing a written report with recommendations. The center’s staff has the opportunity to provide a written response to the evaluators’ report. POLICY ISSUES: Consistent with State Regents’ “Institutional Admission and Retention,” policy, students for whom English is a second language must demonstrate English proficiency following standards described in this policy. Students without the minimal Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score (500 for undergraduate and 550 for graduate students) who have earned a TOEFL score of at least 460 for undergraduate or 500 for graduate students, or students without the minimal International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score (6.0 for undergraduate and 6.5 for graduate students) who have earned an IELTS score of at least 5.0 for undergraduate or 5.5 for graduate students, must complete an intensive English program approved by the State Regents prior to admission. Intensive English programs (IEP) are evaluated on criteria for the language program, administration, faculty, student services, finances, and physical facilities, following the standards described in the State

83

Regents’ policy on “Intensive English Program Approval and Review.” Embedded in these broad categories are standards for the curriculum, recruitment, assessment and contact hours of the program, standards for the faculty and administrators of the program, and standards for advising and orientation services offered to students in the program. ANALYSIS: As required by policy, a team of out-of-state evaluators reviewed the ELI-T on the campus of Northeastern State University on April 25-26, 2006. The ELI-T has operated as a branch of the Edmond Language Institute on the University of Central Oklahoma campus and is now requesting an independent review. A summary of the two-person evaluation team’s credentials is provided, and an outline of the recommendation for the IEP follows.

Dr. Gailynn A. Valdes, Ph.D. Interim Director, Academic and Professional Programs, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona. Credentials: Doctor of Philosophy in Public Administration (Arizona State University), Master of Arts in Contemporary Literature (University of Central Oklahoma), and Bachelor of Arts in English (University of Central Oklahoma).

Mr. Craig Machado. Director, English as a Second Language, Norwalk Community College, Norwalk, Connecticut. Credentials: Master of Art in Teaching English To Speakers of Other Languages (San Francisco State University), Diplome D’Etudes Etrangers, French (Universite d’Aiz-Marseille, France), and Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and International Relations (University of California-Davis).

English As A Second Language Program (ELI-T at NSU) Date of Visit: April 25-26, 2006 Evaluators’ Recommendation:

Provisional approval with reexamination in two years.

Summary of Evaluators’ Report:

The ELI-Tahlequah meets the State Regents' policy standards for IEPS. The evaluation team recommends provisional approval with re-examination in two years with the four stipulations below:

1) All faculty members have to meet the state standards of holding an MTESL degree and/or training appropriate to their course assignments. The ELI-Tahlequah needs to implement a substantive and ongoing professional development program for faculty who do not hold an MTESL or closely related degree such as in Education (concentration in TESL) or Linguistics.

2) The ELI-T needs to update its curriculum to meet the state standard requiring the use of current methods, materials, and technologies. The curriculum does not adequately address aural/oral proficiency and must include a more substantive speaking/communicative component. The current curriculum seems to be entirely text driven and lacks supplemental teaching materials and creative instructional methodology.

3) The ELI-T needs to redesign the comprehensive final exam given at the end of each instructional cycle to test the content presented in that cycle. The current test is not adequately tied to the curriculum.

4) The ELI-T must provide work/office space for full and part-time faculty. This space should include lockable drawers and/or cabinets and provide a location for supplemental materials.

84

English As A Second Language Program (ELI-T at NSU) Detailed recommendations are included in the full report provided to the IEP.

Center’s Staff Objection:

None.

State Regents’ staff concurs with the team’s recommendation.

AGENDA ITEM #13: Oklahoma State University Technical Branch-Okmulgee. SUBJECT: Oklahoma State University Technical Branch-Okmulgee (OSUTB-OKM) learning site. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents designate OSUTB-OKM as a learning site in the MidAmerica Industrial Park in Pryor, Oklahoma as described below.

BACKGROUND: The State Regents took action at their October 31, 1997 meeting to establish a proactive and equitable method of maximizing higher education resources to address unmet higher education needs in communities around the state. This action resulted in the designation of learning sites which included all 25 state colleges and universities, the Ardmore Higher Education Program and the Ponca City Learning Site. The designated learning sites did not include the two technical branches – OSUTB-OKM and OSU-Oklahoma City. Locations designated as a learning site carry the function and responsibility of ensuring that area higher education needs are met either through programs offered by the responsible institution or by another institution. OSUTB-OKM began offering classes in 1998 at the MAIP in response to a request from the park trustees to make high-level, technical training available for employers located in the park and their incumbent workforces. In 2004-05 OSUTB-OKM/MAIP reported 162 enrollments in technical training courses that generated 1,328 credit hours. Employers within the park, community leaders, public school administration, and local citizens have expressed their desire for degree options to be made available from OSUTB-OKM. OSU-OKM is serving MAIP students through off-campus courses and through electronic media. OSUTB-OKM is seeking approval of the MAIP site from the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Universities (HLC) to offer Associate in Applied Science degree programs at the MAIP site in Pryor, Oklahoma. Rogers State University has a branch campus in Pryor (RSU/Pryor). A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has been signed by Presidents Klabenes and Wiley that stipulates the educational services/responsibilities that will be offered by each institution. POLICY ISSUES: This action is consistent with the State Regents’ “Electronically Delivered and Traditional Off-Campus Courses and Programs” policy which states that technical branches have a statewide responsibility for offering unique technical or specialized programs when documented need is expressed and when the institution’s resources permit the meeting of that need. The policy also allows for coordination of multiple learning sites in the same area. These learning sites are encouraged to develop a mechanism for working cooperatively to identify and arrange for provision of education services to local residents.

87

Regents’ policy also advocates that, to the extent possible, through the authorized fee structure, direct instructional costs are recovered for electronic media and traditional off campus offerings. All new facilities for traditional off-campus offerings shall be provided at no expense to the state. MAIP has constructed a technical center and executed a 20-year lease for the facility at a cost of 50 cents per year. The primary purpose of the center is to provide technical training by OSUTB-OKM for employees of firms located in MAIP. ANALYSIS: Designating OSUTB-OKM as a learning site will allow the institution to continue serving MAIP along with services provided by Rogers State University through the MOU. The purpose of the MOU is to provide a mechanism for MAIP students enrolled with OSUTB-OKM to attain the necessary general education courses required to satisfy the OSUTB-OKM college degree requirements. Additionally, the MOU provides for a cooperative effort that will result in the mutual benefit of students who matriculate to either institution. OSUTB-OKM/MAIP responsibilities include:

Referring students to RSU/Pryor for general education courses required for its degree program. Providing RSU/Pryor with all degree plans of study that list general education requirements. Providing a schedule of RSU/Pryor general education courses each semester to students enrolled

in the OSUTB-OKM degree programs. Ensuring that students seeking enrollment in RSU/Pryor general education classes have

appropriate admission test scores for placement determinations. RSU/Pryor responsibilities include:

Providing enrollment services to OSUTB-OKM degree seeking students for their general education requirements.

Providing OSUTB-OKM degree seeking students’ access to its library resources related to general education courses.

Ensuring that students enrolled in classes at RSU/Pryor have access to all tutoring services provided for the respective general education courses.

OSUTB-OKM will provide a system to allow MAIP students access to the following functions electronically including: course enrollment, grade checks, degree audits, class schedules, student account summaries, and financial aid information and processing. OSUTB-OKM will also provide classroom space to RSU/Pryor to conduct general education courses for students of both institutions. The two facilities are located only five miles apart and this arrangement will provide the needed convenience for MAIP employees. The OSU-OKM library director will conduct a training session at the beginning of each semester for MAIP students to facilitate access and utilization of library resources. The library will provide necessary periodicals and journals and will replicate what is currently in place for the OSUTB-OKM Engineering Technologies Division. Funding. OSUTB-OKM began offering courses at MAIP in 1998, and received a $100,000 Economic Development Grant to support expanded offerings there in fiscal 2001. Funding was decreased to $88,956 in fiscal year 2005 due to reductions in the state budget. The request presented to the State Regents and the subsequent request that will be forwarded to the HLC (if approved by the State Regents) will note that operational costs for the MAIP learning site will be generated by tuition and fees, reallocation, and other revenues.

AGENDA ITEM #14-a: E&G Budget Allocations. SUBJECT: Allocation of Funds Resident Teacher Professional Development for FY 2007. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve the reimbursement of $1,877,309 as shown on Resolution No. 4581 and authorize the Chancellor to approve revised budgets for State System institutions to incorporate the reimbursement.

BACKGROUND: The provisions of House Bill 1549 created the Teacher Preparation Act (OTPA) that provided additional funding and authorized the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education to upgrade the quality of teacher preparation in Oklahoma. In 1997, OTPA’s name was changed to TPDRP. The purpose of TPDRP is to improve the caliber of elementary and secondary school teachers certified to teach in Oklahoma public schools. TPDRP provides for a three-member Residency Committee for each first-year teacher licensed by the State Board of Education. A Residency Committee consists of 1) a mentor teacher; 2) a principal or assistant principal designated by the local board; and 3) a teacher educator from an Oklahoma college or university. POLICY ISSUES: The recommended action is consistent with the “Teacher Professional Development Residency Programs” policy. ANALYSIS: Residency Committee reimbursement to each institution is based on the workload of the previous year, reflecting both the number of committees served and miles traveled. Effective January 1, 2006, the mileage reimbursement rate increased from 40.5 to 44.5 cents per mile traveled; this increase is reflected in the reimbursement calculations, a 9.9 % increase from the previous year. The 2006-07 allocations total is $1,257.206 to 12 State System institutions and $119,032 to ten independent institutions. The combined total of $1,877,309 is the amount allocated by the State Regents from lump-sum appropriations, a 36.3% increase from the previous year. The allocation summary table and Resolution No. 4581 are attached. Attachments

AGENDA ITEM #14-b: E&G Budget Allocations. SUBJECT: Allocation of Concurrent Enrollment Reimbursement Waivers for Summer 2006. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve allocation to the institutions for reimbursement of tuition waivers awarded to senior high school students during the summer 2006 term.

BACKGROUND: In September 2005, the State Regents adopted a policy as authorized by 70 O.S. 2001§ 628.13, to allow the reimbursement of tuition waivers awarded to senior high school students up to six credit hours per semester beginning the fall 2005 term. Concurrent enrollment tuition waivers awarded by the institutions are not being subject to the 3.5 percent of E&G Budget, Part I limitation. The institutions reported and State Regents approved reimbursements in June 2005 for the tuition waivers awarded during the fall 2005 and spring 2006 terms. This item will cover reimbursements for waivers awarded during the summer 2006 term. POLICY ISSUES: This report is consistent with the State Regents’ policy. ANALYSIS: For the summer 2006 term, senior high schools students received waivers totaling $142,291. The total number of hours waived totaled 2,574 and the number of students totaled 683. This reimbursement represents tuition costs only as the students are responsible for payment of fees, books and supplies. The State Regents allocated $2.5 million to this program in June 2005, of which $1.7 million was allocated to reimburse waivers granted in the fall 2005 and spring 2006, leaving funding available to cover this request of $142,291.

AGENDA ITEM #14-c: E&G Budget Allocations. SUBJECT: Approval of allocation of FY07 grant funds. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve the tuition assistance grants in the amount of $557.50 to 25 institutions for participation in the University of Oklahoma Economic Development Institute for a total allocation of $13,937.50, as listed below.

BACKGROUND: At the meeting of June 23, 2006, the State Regents allocated $1,047,523 for grants and activities to include economic development, research and quality initiatives. A portion of the funding for this line item was approved for allocation to institutions and programs. The remaining funds will be recommended for allocation later in FY07. The mission of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education is to build a nationally competitive system of higher education that will provide education programs and services universally recognized for excellence, expand frontiers of knowledge, and enhance quality of life (II-I-36). Among the goals of the State Regents is the encouragement of economic development, applying scientific, professional, and technological expertise to promote economic progress. The tuition assistance grants are consistent with the State Regents’ Public Agenda initiative number five to “Develop Academic and Training Programs Based on Workforce Needs.” The knowledge and skills obtained through attending the Economic Development Institute allows the professional economic developers in higher education to become familiar with the perspective of those who strive to attract, retain and expand opportunities for local businesses. With this new knowledge and their current foundations for excellence, the institutions can become more intricately involved in the wealth creation in their region with these new tools in their economic development tool kit. POLICY ISSUES: The recommendation is consistent with Regents’ policy and actions. ANALYSIS: Tuition Assistance Grant for the Economic Development Institute ($13,937.50) It is recommended that the State Regents approve the tuition assistance grants for the Economic Development Council members to attend the University of Oklahoma Economic Development Institute (EDI). The EDI program at the University of Oklahoma is accredited by the International Economic

97

Development Council (IEDC) and is the only multi-year, professional level program of its type in the United States. The intent of the tuition assistance for the members of the State Regents’ Economic Development Council to attend the Economic Development Institute is to provide these professional economic developers in higher education with the current tools and knowledge needed to be competitive in today’s marketplace. Oklahoma’s higher education institutions are morphing from strictly academic institutions to the broader perspective of community stewards, which involves the field of economic development. The knowledge and tools acquired from attending the EDI will strengthen the institutions’ involvement in community development, business relations, and workforce development. It is recommended that the State Regents approve the one-time support of tuition assistance for the 2006 winter session in Oklahoma City during the week of December 3, 2006. The cost for half the tuition is $557.50 per institution for a total allocation of $13,937.50 to a maximum of 25 public institutions.

E&G Budget Allocations. SUBJECT: Approval of allocation of state appropriations for research initiative of the Consortium for

Legume Research. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve the second allocation of $750,000 for a three-year research initiative of the Consortium for Legume Research to combat cotton root rot disease in alfalfa.

BACKGROUND: At the meeting of September 15, 2005, the State Regents allocated $750,000 in state appropriations for FY06, in support of the funding proposal from the Consortium for Legume Research. Research scientists from the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University and the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation collaborate on research affecting economically significant legume crops, including alfalfa, soybeans and peanuts. The Consortium promotes the coordination of individual research program and facilitates the exchange of research materials and information, maximizing the use of the member institutions’ existing resources. Funding for Consortium projects comes from private sources, competitive research grants, and federal and state appropriations. Alfalfa is Oklahoma’s largest legume crop, grown on approximately 350,000 acres and worth over $60 million to the Oklahoma economy. Phymatotricum root rot, also known as cotton root rot and Texas root rot, is caused by a fungus that attacks over 2,000 species of broadleaf plants, including alfalfa. The fungus is most destructive in soils that are of limestone origin, highly alkaline, and exposed to high summer temperatures. In Oklahoma, the disease is mostly restricted to the southern tier of counties in the Red River Valley. Because the geographic distribution of the disease is limited, federal agencies have little interest in supporting research on the fungus. POLICY ISSUES: The recommendation is consistent with Regents’ policy and actions. ANALYSIS: The objectives of the research are to characterize cotton root rot in alfalfa at the biological, chemical and genetic levels, with the long-term goal of developing resistant alfalfa varieties. The proposal aims to utilize a multi-disciplinary staged approach, the latest tools and molecular biology and genetics and a state-of-the-art breeding program to study the disease and the plant. Total budget for the project is $1.5 million over two to three years. The universities and the foundation will also contribute faculty and research assistant time as well as waive indirect cost charges.

A progress report, as required by the September 15, 2005 agenda, has been received and funding for FY07 is recommended at $750,000. Funding is available in the EPSCoR line item allocation.

AGENDA ITEM #15:

Endowment. SUBJECT: Endowment Trust Fund Investment Performance and Annual Distribution. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve a distribution in the amount of $11,873,594.43 for fiscal year 2006 and $12,263,608.83 for prior years’ carryover-- totaling approximately $24.1 million-- for institutional expenditure from eligible Endowment Trust Fund accounts.

BACKGROUND: With the allocation at the June 17, 2006, meeting, the State Regents have allocated a total of $170.2 million to the Endowment Trust Fund for chairs, professorships and lectureships and from state appropriations since inception of the program in 1988. These allocations are to support the establishment of faculty chairs and professorships and for related activities to improve the quality of instruction and research at colleges and universities in the State System. State Regents have also allocated $16.93 million for the Langston University Endowment since 1999. In addition to state funding, the fund contains private matching funds and unrestricted gifts. In September 2003 the endowment distribution policy was revised to allow for 4.5 percent of the three-year average market value at June 30 to be available for distribution. This revision became effective with the FY04 distribution. Also, included for the eighth year is the available distribution for the Langston University Endowment. POLICY ISSUES: Investments for the Endowment Trust Fund have been made in compliance with the State Regents’ investment policy and relevant State Statutes. STAFF ANALYSIS: The market value of the trust fund was $342,456,771 as of June 30, 2006. In FY06 the fund earned 12.2 percent, net of fees. The State Regents’ current investment policy provides that “the investment committee shall determine the distribution...The distribution will not necessarily be equivalent to actual earnings during the year, but to maintain a distribution rate from year to year that, as a goal, will approximate 4.5 percent of the asset values based on an average of the past three years for the endowment trust fund.” The attached distribution schedules reflect the distributions available for each eligible Endowment Trust Fund accounts and are presented for approval.

AGENDA ITEM #16: Revenue Bonds. SUBJECT: Review of Statement of Essential Facts. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve the issuance of general revenue refunding bonds, Series 2006A by the University of Oklahoma in the approximate amount of $114,000,000.

BACKGROUND: The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education are required to approve affirmatively the issuance of revenue bonds issued by either the University of Oklahoma or Oklahoma State University pursuant to Title 70, O.S. 2005 Supp, Section 3980.4. For each proposed issue, the issuing governing board shall prepare a Statement of Essential Facts for the use of and information of prospective bond purchasers. The State Regents’ responsibility is to examine the Statement of Essential Facts and if they determine that, based upon such facts and projections, the projected revenue will satisfy the financial obligation to be incurred, they shall certify such to the Governor, the Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives and the President Pro Tempore of the Oklahoma State Senate. The universities may pledge to the repayment of obligations any lawfully available source of revenue other than revenues appropriated by the Legislature from tax receipts, but inclusive of revenues derived from the Oklahoma Education Lottery Act accruing to the credit of the university. POLICY ISSUES: State Regents’ policy does not address this type of financing. ANALYSIS: The University has three objectives in their proposed refinancing plan. The first objective is to realize debt savings through the issuance of advance refunding bonds. The second objective is to release prior liens on five previous bond issuances and consolidate these sources into a general revenue pledge, as recently permitted through legislation passed in 2005, and the third objective is to benefit from the release of $1.1 million in existing debt service reserve obligations through the refunding of the Athletic Facilities Revenue Bonds. The proceeds received from the sale of the General Revenue Bond Refunding Series 2006A bonds will be used (a) to advance refund five previously issued series as described below, (b) to make required deposits into the Escrow Funds, and (c) for payment of costs of issuance. The proposed plan includes the refunding of the five outstanding revenue bonds. A brief description of the bonds to be refunded and the current outstanding principal balance of such bonds are provided below:

117

Multiple Facilities Series 1998 Bonds $18,805,000 Original Par Value: $21,950,000

Original proceeds were used to repair student housing facilities, make improvements to the Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, Murray Case Sells Swim Complex, the Energy Center, Nielsen Hall (Physics) and the Law Center.

Public Facilities Program ODFA 2000 Bonds $ 8,865,000 Original Par Value: $10,000,000

Original proceeds were used to renovate Ellison Hall (Arts & Sciences,) construct and equip a multi-purpose laboratory and expand the Fred Jones Art Center.

Student Usage Facilities Series 2000 Bonds $ 8,415,000 Original Par Value: $ 9,500,000

Original proceeds were used to expand the Huston Huffman Physical Fitness Center and partially renovate the Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

Athletic Facilities Series 2001 Bonds $13,920,000 Original Par Value: $15,500,000

Original proceeds were used to partially finance renovation and additions to the multiple athletic facilities including Lloyd Noble Center, the tennis center, softball locker rooms, indoor practice facility, the Academic Center in the football complex, and the football locker rooms.

Athletic Facilities Series 2002A Bonds $62,885,000 Original Par Value: $63,750,000

Original proceeds were used to fund the expansion and improvements to the football stadium.

It is anticipated that the bonds will be issued as serial bonds payable on July 1 for each of the years 2007 through 2031 with interest payments commencing on January 1, 2007, and semiannually each year thereafter. The bonds are general, limited, and special obligations of the Board of Regents for the University of Oklahoma. The University has pledged, as security for the bonds, all lawfully available revenues with the exception of tax receipt appropriations, as required by statute. The available resources will include the following dedicated revenue sources as originally pledged to the issuances being refunded: (1) Athletic System Revenues, (2) Student Activity Fees, (3) Section 13/New College Revenue, (4) Cultural and Recreation Services Fees, and (5) Student Facility Fees. It is expected that the University will not be required to establish a Debt Service Reserve Fund on this issuance. The pledged revenues as anticipated by the University’s Board will provide sufficient revenue to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds. The refunding component of this series of bonds calls for an escrow fund to be established which will redeem a portion of refunded bonds at par, over a period of five years from 2006 through 2011. The economic savings associated with the refunding is estimated to be $3.4 million in net present value terms and will also be beneficial to the University’s ability to gain favorable ratings from the rating agencies using the general revenue pledge. This transaction was approved by the Board of Regents for the University of Oklahoma at their March 2005 meeting and the Council of Bond Oversight at their July 27, 2006, meeting. The Statement of Essential Facts as reflected in the Preliminary Official Statement for the 2006A Refunding Series has been reviewed and found to be substantially accurate. Projected revenue, as described in the Statement, will assure that revenues will be adequate to cover debt service requirements.

118

A concurrent resolution authorizing issuance of the bonds has been approved by the legislature. A copy of the Preliminary Official Statement is available for review.

AGENDA ITEM #17: Master Lease Program. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents authorize for submission to the Council of Bond Oversight the 2006C Master Lease Series. The total projects from two entities amount to approximately $7.2 million.

BACKGROUND: The Oklahoma State Legislature approved in May 1999, Senate Bill 151, which authorized the State Regents to establish a master lease program. State System entities may enter into lease agreements for projects having a project value of $50,000 up to a maximum of $10 million. The terms of the lease agreements will vary by the useful life of the equipment purchases. The State Regents’ office works in conjunction with the Oklahoma Development Finance Authority (ODFA) to administer this program with each institutional lease purchase agreement submitted to the Council of Bond Oversight for approval. The institutional governing boards have given prior approval of all equipment purchases submitted under this program. POLICY ISSUES: Recommendation is consistent with current State Regents’ policy. ANALYSIS: The Master Lease Purchase Program provides the State System entities a method of financing major personal property acquisitions at significant efficiencies from both financing aspects and administration. This program is designed to provide flexibility in acquiring new capital equipment by allowing lease purchase payments or debt service payments to be made on a monthly basis from current capital and operating funds. Individual sub-lease agreements will be entered into with each participating institution and the State Regents, under the terms of the Master Lease Purchase Agreement. The institution’s fee structure shall be based on the individualized purchase package and interest rates available on the day of bond pricing. The third series for 2006 includes two system institutions with an estimated total of approximately $7.2 million of equipment and energy performance contract purchases. The following table summarizes this series of project totals by institution.

AGENDA ITEM #18: Allocation. SUBJECT: Approval of allocations to Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences and the

University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center from the revenue derived from the sale of cigarettes and tobacco products.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve the allocation of $937,171.48 to Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences (OSU CHS) and $937,171.48 to the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) from revenue collected from the taxes placed on the sale of cigarettes and tobacco products.

BACKGROUND: The Oklahoma Legislature passed House Bill No. 2660 in May 2004, designating a portion of the revenue collected from taxes on the sale of cigarettes and tobacco products to be allocated for specific purposes at OUHSC and OSU CHS. This revenue will be deposited into dedicated funds, the “Comprehensive Cancer Center Debt Service Revolving Fund,” at the Health Sciences Center and the “Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine Revolving Fund,” at OSU CHS. The bill states that the revenue collected shall be evenly deposited into accounts designated at these entities, for the purpose of servicing the debt obligations incurred to construct a nationally designated comprehensive cancer center at the OU Health Sciences Center and for the purpose of servicing debt obligations for construction of a building dedicated to telemedicine, for the purchase of telemedicine equipment and to provide uninsured/indigent care in Tulsa County through the OSU College of Osteopathic Medicine. The State Regents approved the first allocation of these funds in the meeting of May 27, 2005. POLICY ISSUES: The recommendation is consistent with Regents’ policy and approved budget principles. ANALYSIS: The fund currently has on deposit $1,874,342.96. This amount is sufficient for a transfer of $937,1717.48 each to OSU CHS and OUHSC. The OU Health Sciences Center will hold their funds in an account designated for the construction of a Comprehensive Cancer Center to be expended at a future date. The OSU Center for Health Sciences will expend their funds on the following approved program components: (1) indigent patient clinical care, (2) telemedicine equipment and (3) facility upgrades. The current allocation to each institution, including this allocation, totals to $6,411,227.37.

AGENDA ITEM #19-a: Policy. SUBJECT: Adoption of Policy for the Council of Business Officers’ Advisory Group RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents adopt a policy to formally recognize the Council of Business Officers as an advisory council and incorporate it into State Regents’ administrative policies of operation.

BACKGROUND: Although this Council has had regular meetings for many years, the group has recently adopted formal guidelines for operation and desires to be formally recognized by the State Regents as an advisory council to the Chancellor, State Regents’ staff, State Regents’ Presidents Council and other advisory groups as requested. The Council is a statewide panel composed of the chief business officers from each institution in The State System of Higher Education. The group meets on a monthly basis to engage in matters of best business practices, system-wide initiatives and to develop pro-active administrative solutions. POLICY ISSUES: The formal establishment of the Council of Business Officers is consistent with State Regents’ policy and procedures. State Regents’ policy currently recognizes the Council on Instruction (Academic Officers), the Council of Student Affairs, the Communicators Council, the Economic Development Council, the Council on Information Technology, and the Council of Presidents. ANALYSIS: A copy of the bylaws for the conduct and operations of the State Regents’ Council of Business Officers is attached. The guidelines were adopted by the Council of Business Officers at their meeting in December 2005. Attachment

AGENDA ITEM #19-b: Policy. SUBJECT: Adoption of Amendments to the Master Lease Program Policy RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve amendments to the Master Lease Program Policy to include the acquisition of and improvements to real property as authorized by the legislature.

BACKGROUND: In the spring of 1997, work began on development of a systemwide Master Lease Purchase Program to provide a method of financing major personal property acquisitions by the State System institutions. The Oklahoma State Legislature approved in May 1999, Senate Bill 151, which authorized the State Regents to establish an equipment master lease program. In May 2005, the legislature expanded the authorization to include financing of the acquisition of or improvements to real property. The State Regents’ staff works in conjunction with the Oklahoma Development Finance Authority (ODFA) to administer this program with each institutional lease purchase agreement submitted to the State Council of Bond Oversight for final approval. The institutional projects require governing board approval prior to participation in an issuance submitted for consideration. POLICY ISSUES: The proposed policy amendments are attached and require State Regents’ approval. ANALYSIS: The expansion of the Master Lease Program to include financing real property projects greatly benefits the institutions in their ability to accomplish deferred maintenance projects, renovations and minor construction projects. This source of financing is an important tool to help the institutions to accomplish capital projects, as the dedicated annual revenue source for capital projects is currently limited to Section 13/New College funds and Section 13 Offset allocations. This method of financing will allow the institutions to pay for projects over a period of time, thus maximizing the dollars available for such projects in any given budget cycle. It is anticipated that the first submission of real property projects will be submitted for Regents’ consideration at the October meeting.

131

4.17 MASTER LEASE PROGRAM

4.171 Purpose

A. Equipment Program: The purpose of the State System Master Lease Purchase Equipment Program is to offer a method of financing the acquisition of major personal property that will provide cost efficiencies in both financing and administrative costs. As authorized in 70 O.S. Supp. 2005 § 3206.6, institutions may enter into lease agreements for values from a minimum of $50,000 up to values of $10 million. The lease terms will vary by the useful life of the equipment purchased, yet may have a useful life of no more than twenty (20) years.

B. Real Property Program: The purpose of the State System Master Lease Purchase Real Property Program is to finance the acquisition of real property or improvements to real property in a cost effect manner. As authorized in 70 O.S. Supp. 2005 § 3206.6a, institutions may enter into lease agreements for values from a minimum of $50,000 up to values of $25 million. The lease terms will vary by the useful life of each project, yet may not exceed thirty (30) years.

4.172 Participation in and Process of the Program

A. Pursuant to a Master Lease Purchase Agreement, the Oklahoma State Regents (“Lessee”), on behalf of The State System of Higher Education, will enter into an agreement with a financial institution (the “Lessor”), or another similar entity such as the Oklahoma Development Finance Authority, to provide funding for individual purchases of personal property. Individual institutional lease-purchase agreements will be entered into under the Master Lease Agreement as needed for equipment purchases. The types of purchases authorized under this program may include, but will not be limited to:

1. computer equipment

2. agricultural equipment

3. telephone equipment

4. copiers

5. research and medical equipment

6. maintenance equipment.

Purchases for the acquisition of real property and improvements to real property are also authorized expenditures under the Master Lease Agreement for Real Property. These types of expenditures may include new construction or renovations to existing buildings as well as acquisition of land for campus expansion.

132

B. The State Regents’ fiscal and legal staff, in conjunction with the Oklahoma Development Finance Authority (ODFA), will administer the Master Lease Purchase Program. The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Budget and Finance will coordinate arrangements for the execution of the Master Lease Agreement and the Lease-Purchase Agreements with advisement from the General Counsel.

C. Institutional Lease-Purchase Agreements

Each lease-purchase agreement will establish interest rates, repayment schedules and prepayment terms applicable to the individual personal property acquisition. The financial rates will be based upon the daily rates at the time of issuance with all other provisions, including the duration of the agreement and redemption provisions being negotiated with the lessor for each agreement. Projects to be funded through this program must have institutional governing board approval.

D. Lease-Purchase Agreement Security

Institutional participation will be secured by lease payments received by the State Regents from the participatory institutions under the term of the Lease-Purchase Agreement. The debt service payments by the institutions should be made from existing capital and operating funds and will require no additional allocation from the State Regents. The State Regents, under the authority of Title 62, O.S. § 41.14(B) (2001), have the ability to reduce an institution’s allocation of funds in order to make debt service payments for leases financed through Master Lease Purchase Program. Title to the equipment or property financed through this program will remain with the Oklahoma Development Finance Authority until the time debt service is paid. Debt service schedules will be based on the useful life of the equipment financed.

E. Applications for Participation

Applications for participation are expected to be received three (3) times each fiscal year with the first issuance scheduled for mid-August of each fiscal year, the second issuance scheduled for mid-December, and the last issuance for a fiscal year in mid-May. If the number of participating institutions at any given interval does not provide sufficient project dollar amounts to achieve cost effectiveness, those institutions’ applications may be held until the next scheduled issuance.

As required by Oklahoma Statutes, the Council of Bond Oversight must approve all lease-purchase projects. Each block of projects to be financed by each financed series of bonds must be submitted to the Council of Bond Oversight under their requirements and approved by the board before sale of bonds may commence.

F. Bond Counsel

The bond counsel, selected by Request for Proposal, will provide advice

133

and assistance with the development of the Master Lease Purchase Program and will be expected to provide a full range of legal services required in connection with the successful authorization, offering, and delivery of each lease obligation under the program. The bond counsel will provide services to include program structure, required authorizations, advice on tax status and tax implications, development of legal documents, development of disclosure materials, transcripts, and review and comment on contracts and agreements. Legal counsel will also provide assistance with other legal matters relating to investment of proceeds, reserves, and compliance with federal arbitrage regulations.

G. Fees and Expenses

The State Regents will either allocate sufficient funds to cover the expenditures of the issuance of the bonds or alternatively will assess a cost-based fee to each participating institution. Institutions will submit debt service payments once a month into a system-wide designated fund for payment to the Trustee sinking fund as required by negotiation at the time bonds are issued.

Adopted October 3, 2000, and updated September 14, 2006.

Sensor Center Facilities (OSU University Multispectral Laboratories)

1. Project Description

• This project establishes the OSU University Multispectral laboratory, headquartered in Ponca City. This is a national testing and evaluation center for sensors and sensor technologies and will focus on the development, testing, evaluation and integration of sensors in areas pertaining to defense and security, and to industrial and medical applications. The project follows the success of OSU’s sensor program and builds on the reputation being established by OSU in this field.

• The facility will develop sensors from laboratory bench-top systems to usable products. Initial focus will be on the defense & security sector. The facility will fill the gap between initial research and final application and commercialization.

• This laboratory and center will fulfill a national need for a single facility to perform testing and integration for sensors and other equipment that are currently spread among a variety of locations or not evaluated due to limited national laboratory capacity to perform all required comparative and qualification testing and certification.

• Potential customers and users of this laboratory will come from a variety of areas, including academic, government, and private sector.

• Sensor systems to be targeted include chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives (“CBRNE”), and communication, surveillance, intelligence and reconnaissance (“C4ISR”).

• OSU has a long history of federal and state support in sensors and sensor technology research & development. The proposed project is a logical development of OSU’s overall sensor technology strategy and focuses on rapid transition of technology from innovation to commercialization.

• OSU has generated approximately $70M in external research funding over the past 4 years in this area (including a $19M investment from the State of Oklahoma through the OSRHE).

• New job growth and new industry is expected to develop in the central region of Oklahoma as a result of this initiative. Ultimately the project will provide over 80 high-end professional jobs. Sensor-related industries are expected to become established because of the presence of the center.

• This is a start-up business project. The initial (first-year) objectives are: o Take possession of, conduct engineering survey, design and renovation of facilities as

per requirements for CBRNE and C4ISR work at the UML. o Initiate sensor research in “stand-off” Biometrics, using recently received federal

contracts from the US Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center. o Hire technical personnel as program expands.

• Longer-term strategic objectives include: o Conduct chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, explosive, command, control,

communications, computing, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and other sensor-related research, development, evaluation, testing and certification.

o Provide training and educational opportunities that will fuse academic, technical, and tactical knowledge and experience.

o Facilitate rapid movement of concepts to marketable products via technology transfer.

o Provide a geographically central location to conduct qualification and comparative testing.

148

o Provide a secure facility to locate proprietary, sensitive, and classified research as needed.

o Enhance collaborations among universities, government authorities, and the private sector.

o Provide training for new sensor technologies. o Act as a repository for storage and exchange of data.

• Criteria for success, both short- and long-term, will include such metrics as: o Number of new jobs created; we anticipate 5 in Year 1, rising by approximately 10

per year to a total of 80 at full operation. o Number and amount of federal grants & contracts obtained. o Number and amount of private sector contracts obtained. o Number of OSU faculty and students involved in the UML activities. o Number of external collaborations and partnership agreements.

2. Overall Budget

• The requested funds will be used to renovate exisiting facilities for the UML and to provide essential fixed equipment for the facilities.

• Estimates only of the renovations costs are available at this time. Because of this, we feel it necessary to include a substantial contingency in the budget.

• Budget Outline: o Laboratories to conduct chemical surety, biological safety (BSL-2),

radiological/nuclear sensor testing, C4ISR testing, evaluation and integration and communications evaluation.

Renovations $3,500,000 Fixed equipment, including fume hoods, centrifuges, cold rooms,

etc. $500,000 o Contingency $1,000,000

TOTAL: $5,000,000

3. Key Personnel • The Director of the project at OSU is:

o Dr. Stephen W.S. McKeever, Vice President for Research and Technology Transfer, OSU.

• The UML is legally established as a Limited Liability Company. The Board of Directors includes:

o Dr. David Bosserman, VP Finance & Administration; Chairman o Dr. Stephen McKeever, VP Research & Technology Transfer, Secretary o Mr. Charles Drake, Board of Regents Legal Counsel, Member

• The UML will be a University-Owned/Contractor-Operated (UO-CO) facility. The contractor will be Applied Marine Technologies Inc. (AMTI), who are contracted to act as OSU’s agent in directing the program. Key AMTI personnel are:

o Mr. Timothy Reynolds, Manager of UML Business Operations o Dr. Web Keogh, Chief UML Science Director o Mr. Gary Gallagher, UML Facilities & Security Office

4. Matching Funds (Documentation pending) Additional funds for the project have been obtained from:

• Federal Government, Department of Defense, Special Operation Command (SOCOMM) o FY06: $950,000 o FY07: Pending ($1.4M House Appropriations; $3M Senate Appropriations)

149

• Local Government o Ponca City Development Authority

FY06-FY10: $2,000,000 • Private Sector

o ConocoPhillips FY06-FY10: $2,000,000

• Operating Costs • Detailed operating costs have yet to be determined, but have been estimated to be

approximately $400,000 per year (including all utilities and other fees). This will be covered in FY06-FY10 by the gift from ConocoPhillips of $500,000 per year for that period. After that period, the Business Plan for the facility projects coverage of this from income (grants, contracts) generated by the facility.

Oklahoma Technology and Research Park: Business Accelerator Building

1. Project Description

• We propose building of a 30,000 sf facility to house the Oklahoma Technology and Research Park (OTRP) Business Accelerator.

• The Business Accelerator will accommodate mid-stage technology companies that are not yet mature enough to be free standing businesses.

• The goal is to provide centralized support services and business assistance to insure that promising companies remain in Oklahoma rather than move out of state during their rapid growth stage.

• The facility will provide an intermediate step for companies between the Business Incubator at Meridian Technology Center (MTC) and the OTRP Venture laboratories.

• The enterprise will build off existing assets by providing professional services and assistance to tenant companies through expertise available at Meridian Technology Center, OSU Center for Innovation and Economic Development, Inc., and the Stillwater Chamber of Commerce. These entities are represented on the Joint Board of the OTRP, along with OSU.

• Revenue generated from leases to tenants will be utilized by the Joint Board of the OTRP to maintain, enhance the OTRP grounds and infrastructure, and eventually, employ a manager to be permanently housed in the facility.

• The Accelerator is an integral part of the OTRP’s plan to foster, grow and attract new knowledge-based industry to the Stillwater region. The overall strategy includes a Business Incubator (located at the MTC) and Class A space for growth and expansion at the OTRP Venture Labs, as illustrated below:

(OSU/OTRP)

Incubator

(MTC)

Venture Labs

(OTRP)

The different stages of business growth available at the OTRP, Stillwater

• The Accelerator is different from the Incubator in that there will be graduated rental for the businesses occupying the space over the period of their occupancy. Tenants will use the facility as a transition between the low incubator rates at the MTC and the fully competitive rates in the Venture labs. The period of occupancy will be negotiated with each company appropriate to the viability of their business and meeting the profile of businesses targeted for development in the OTRP. Space will be limited, however.

• Similar to an incubator, however, the Joint Board of the OTRP will make available the same services and support systems as currently provided to tenants of MTC’s incubator and OTRP Venture I building.

• The Business Accelerator will primarily serve: (1) start-up businesses that have been in a business incubator and are not yet ready to occupy permanent space, and (2) existing companies that while established are still growing and in need of business assistance and support.

151

• While the rent in the Business Accelerator will increase to market rates over the period of occupancy, overall costs will be less as central services (receptionist, copying, fax machine, etc.) and common space (conference room, hallways, bathrooms, etc.) will be a shared expense. The Business Accelerator will provide professional assistance to tenant companies through expertise available at Meridian Technology Center, OSU Center for Innovation and Economic Development, Inc., and the Stillwater Chamber of Commerce.

• Criteria for success will include such metrics as: o Number of companies “graduating” from the MTC Incubator into the

Accelerator o Number of companies entering Accelerator from other locations. o Number of companies graduating (expanding) from the Accelerator into the

OTRP Venture Labs. o Number of employees in the Accelerator, and annual payroll. o Number of research collaborations between Accelerator tenants and OSU

research programs. 2. Key Personnel

• The Business Accelerator will be managed by the Oklahoma Technology Research Park (OTRP) manager (to be identified) who will report to the OTRP Joint Board. In addition, this individual will oversee the Park infrastructure and be directly responsible for recruitment and support of companies in the OTRP.

• Other key personnel are: o OSU: Dr. Stephen W.S. McKeever, Vice President for Research and

Technology Transfer, OSU. o MTC: Dr. Andrea Kelly, Superintendent of Meridian Technology Center o Center for Innovation and Economic Development, Inc., (CIED): Dr. Joe

Alexander, President of OSU’s CIED. 3. Budget

• The facility will have no capital debt and, therefore, will generate net income earlier in the start up process.

• Construction: o Construction: $4,350,000 o Contingency (cost overrun) approx. 15% = $ 650,000 o Net construction: $5,000,000 o Cost of operations: approx. $ 250,000/yr

• Operating costs will be covered by income generated from rentals at full operation, and by the OTRP Joint Board until that time.

4. Matching Funds

• None currently identified, but we will seek matching funds through the regional EDA office in Austin, Tx.

AGENDA ITEM #24-a (2): Programs. SUBJECT: Ratification of approved institutional requests to suspend degree program. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents ratify the approved institutional request for suspension of an existing academic program, as detailed below.

BACKGROUND: Tulsa Community College (TCC) requests authorization to suspend the Associate in Science in Interior Design (221). POLICY ISSUES: Suspending programs is consistent with the State Regents’ “Academic Program Review,” which allows an institution to “suspend” academic programs. Students may not be recruited or admitted into suspended programs. Additionally, suspended programs may not be listed in institutional catalogs and will be reinstated or deleted within three years. ANALYSIS: TCC requests suspension of the Associate in Science in Interior Design (221). TCC reports that this program was designed to articulate to Oklahoma State University’s (OSU) baccalaureate program, but changes have occurred that will not facilitate students completing the TCC program prior to transfer. TCC needs time to review the program and discuss full articulation of the program with OSU. Authorization was granted by the Chancellor for the above request. State Regents’ ratification is requested.

183


September 14, 2006

AGENDA ITEM #24-b: Post Audit. SUBJECT: Approval of institutional requests for final approval existing programs. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve institutional requests for final approval of existing degree programs for Carl Albert State College and review schedule extension for University of Oklahoma as described below.

BACKGROUND: The State Regents approve new programs provisionally with institutionally established and State Regents’ approved criteria to be met prior to final approval. Examples of final program approval criteria include: minimum number of enrollments, graduates, and/or full-time equivalent enrollments (FTEs); accreditation from a regional or national accrediting agency; post-graduation employment rates; specific academic achievement profiles; and/or minimum ranking or pass rates on standardized tests or licensure examinations. A summary of the recommendation is provided below. The accompanying table outlines the criteria, productivity, and recommendation for each degree program. POLICY ISSUES: These actions are consistent with the State Regents’ “Academic Program Approval” policy. ANALYSIS: As noted above, the following recommendation is included in the table (Attachment A), which lists the degree program, date of approval, criteria established by the institution and approved by the State Regents, productivity level, status of other criteria, and recommendation for the program.

Recommendation: Final Approval Carl Albert State College • Associate in Applied Science in Radiologic Technology (058)

This program met the productivity criterion for enrollment but fell short by one graduate (achieved 20 enrolled of the 20 required and achieved nine graduates of the ten required). CASC has demonstrated strong student demand for the program. Final approval is recommended.

• Bachelor of Arts in Women’s Studies (320)

This program was reviewed at the June 30, 2003 State Regents’ meeting and granted a review schedule extension, with a revised graduate criterion (required graduates was reduced from 12 graduates to 7 graduates). For the current review, the program again did not meet the productivity criteria (achieved 13 enrolled rather than the 15 required; achieved 6 graduates rather than the 7 required). OU has had external evaluators review the program, finding the program to be rigorous and its students nationally competitive. Based on OU’s justification of the program’s service to undergraduates, research efforts, outreach activities, and ongoing efforts to promote the program, an extension of the review schedule is recommended, with revised productivity requirements, with continuation beyond fall 2010 dependent upon meeting the following criteria: Stipulations:

Majors enrolled: 13 in fall 2009; and Graduates: 5 in 2009-2010

University of Oklahoma • Certificate in Human Resources Development (340)

This program did not meet productivity criteria (achieved zero enrolled of the 25 required and achieved zero graduates of the 15 required). OU reports that this certificate program was developed specifically for military personnel and uses existing courses for other viable programs. According to OU, deleting the offering will not negatively affect the institution at this time. The certificate may be requested again by the military after the current deployments end. OU requests to keep the program to better respond to new opportunities for students in the future. Therefore, an extension of the review schedule with revised productivity requirements is recommended. Continuation beyond fall 2010 is dependent upon meeting the following criteria: Stipulations:

Majors enrolled: 13 in fall 2009; and Graduates: 5 in 2009-2010

AGENDA ITEM #24-c: Cooperative Agreements. SUBJECT: Ratification of approved institutional request regarding cooperative agreements. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents ratify Cameron University’s (CU) request for the cooperative agreement as described below.

BACKGROUND: In 1988, the State Regents approved the “Cooperative Agreements Between Institutions and Career Technology Centers” (renamed “Cooperative Agreements Between Institutions and Career Technology Centers”) policy in June 2006. The policy was designed to expand Oklahomans’ educational opportunities and to encourage colleges and technology centers to develop resource-sharing partnerships. The policy guides the creation of cooperative agreements between Oklahoma’s colleges and technology centers. Currently, 352 cooperative agreements (involving 126 associate in applied science programs) are offered through 18 colleges and 29 career technology centers (CTCs) within Oklahoma and two out-of-state CTCs. At the January 24, 1997 meeting, the State Regents approved revisions to the Cooperative Agreement Policy to allow high school students meeting specified requirements to enroll in cooperative agreements. CU requests authorization for a cooperative agreement with Great Plains Technology Center (GPTC) to allow students to receive college credit for coursework completed at the technology center toward the Associate in Applied Science in Multimedia Design (510). POLICY ISSUES: These actions are consistent with the State Regents’ “Cooperative Agreements Between Institutions and Career Technology Centers” policy. ANALYSIS: CU requests authorization for a cooperative agreement with GPTC to allow students to receive up to 12 hours of college credit for courses completed at GPTC toward the Associate in Applied Science in Multimedia Design (510). It is understood that general education courses required for these degree programs will not be offered at the technology center as part of these agreements, and high school students will be permitted to enroll in accordance with State Regents’ policy. This cooperative agreement has been approved by GPTC’s alliance partner Western Oklahoma State College (WOSC).

189

Institutional and CPTC faculty and staff will serve on oversight and evaluation committees for the cooperative agreements. The committees will meet at least annually to review course content, relevance, and instructional methods as related to the established course and program competencies. Approval was granted by the Chancellor. State Regents’ ratification is requested.

AGENDA ITEM #24-d: Academic Nomenclature. SUBJECT: Ratification of Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU) institutional request

to change nomenclature of an academic department. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents ratify the approved academic nomenclature change as described below.

BACKGROUND: SWOSU requests ratification to form two new departments from the Department of Language Arts. The new departments are the Department of Language and Literature and the Department of Communication and Theatre. The institutional governing board approved the request July 28, 2006. POLICY ISSUES: This action is consistent with the State Regents’ “Approval of Changes in Academic Structure and Nomenclature” policy. ANALYSIS: Forming two departments increases the focus and emphasis on English, Spanish, and Literature for majors in the Language and Literature department and for theatre majors in the Communications and Theatre department.

191


September 14, 2006

AGENDA ITEM #24-e: Courses. SUBJECT: Ratification of approval for University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (USAO) to offer

off-campus courses in Albuquerque, New Mexico. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents ratify the approval of USAO’s request to offer courses in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

BACKGROUND: USAO requested approval to offer courses for credit continuing education for school personnel (regular and special education teachers, para-professionals, and support residential staff) who work in Bureau of Indian Affairs schools in Albuquerque, New Mexico. These courses will help meet federal requirements outlined in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and No Child Left Behind legislation. Each course will enroll approximately 20 to 25 students. A federal grant through the University of Oklahoma’s American Indian Center for Excellence in Exceptional Children (AICEEC) will pay the tenured faculty’s travel expenses, honorarium, student tuition, books, and associated expenses. POLICY ISSUES: This action is consistent with the State Regents’ “Electronically Delivered and Traditional Off-Campus Courses and Programs.” While regional universities are not functioned to offer off-campus courses out-of-state, State Regents’ policy allows for exceptions with appropriate documentation. USAO’s letter provided sufficient documentation that all applicable State Regents’ policies will be followed including educational standards and fiscal provisions. ANALYSIS: The approved course numbers/titles are listed below: EDUC 4881 Behavior Management Strategies in the Residential Environment MATH 4883 Mathematic Strategies Authorization was granted by the Chancellor for the above request. State Regents’ ratification is requested.

September 14, 2006

AGENDA ITEM #24-f (1): Electronic Delivery

SUBJECT: University of Oklahoma (OU). Approval of request to offer an existing degree program

via electronic media. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve the OU request to offer a Bachelor of Arts in Information Studies (343) via electronic media.

BACKGROUND: The University of Oklahoma (OU) has offered electronically delivered courses and programs for over two decades. When the State Regents revised the Electronic Media Policy in 1998, conditional approval was required and a best practice review was due before final approval. OU completed a best practice review on the Bachelor of Liberal Studies April 1, 2004. Consistent with revisions approved at the State Regents’ May 30, 2003 meeting, once an institution has successfully completed a best practice review and received final approval of an electronic delivery program, additional existing programs may be considered for electronic delivery without completing the best practice review process. POLICY ISSUES: This action is consistent with the Electronically Delivered and Traditional Off-Campus Courses and Programs policy. ANALYSIS: OU requests approval to offer the Bachelor of Arts in Information Studies (343) through web-based methodologies beginning in the 2006 fall semester. It is an existing program and no new courses will be added. OU’s request addresses satisfactorily the criteria listed in the Electronic Media Policy. These criteria include faculty qualifications and training, student services, adequacy of resources, and funding. OU’s responses are summarized below: • Faculty. Faculty teaching online courses hold the same academic credentials as faculty teaching

traditional courses and are approved through the academic unit offering the courses. Courses offered through the online program are required to follow the standards for rigor and quality expected of all courses. Faculty support services and training are coordinated through the College of Arts and Sciences Online Program (CASOP). The Director of CASOP meets with all online instructors and assesses the level of support that is required by each instructor. Instructor design support, and hardware and software support, is provided to faculty throughout the development and teaching of online courses. Software training is available at both the college and university levels.

195

• Student Support Services. Students in the online web-based option will have access to library

resources, academic advising, and other support services that will be comparable to students in on-campus programs.

• Demand. The request is based on the need for an alternative delivery mode to meet the increasing

demands for information workers in the State of Oklahoma. The traditional program was developed in 2001 in response to expressions of need from business and industry for a degree program that provided students with an appropriate mixture of technological abilities and concentration on the humanistic aspects of information and systems use. Students currently enrolled in online courses report significant benefits from online courses and have requested that the entire degree be made available online.

• Funding. No new funding will be required to deliver these programs electronically. Existing

funding within the institutional budget provides for faculty, support services, and the requisite technology. Student tuition and fees will provide resources for any additional adjunct faculty that may be added as enrollments grow.

Based on staff analysis, approval of OU’s request to offer the Bachelor of Arts in Information Studies is recommended.

196


September 14, 2006

AGENDA ITEM #24-f (2): Electronic Delivery. SUBJECT: Western Oklahoma State College (WOSC). Approval of request to offer an existing

degree program via electronic media. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents provisionally approve WOSC’s request to offer the Associate in Applied Science in Office Systems Technology (049) via electronic media with the stipulation that continuation of the electronic offering beyond spring 2008 will depend upon the successful completion of a best practice review prior to January 1, 2008.

BACKGROUND: WOSC began offering electronic media offerings in 1996 through various methodologies. In 2005-06, WOSC reported 1,683 enrollments in courses delivered electronically. WOSC requests authorization to offer the existing Associate in Applied Science in Office Systems Technology (049) via electronic media. POLICY ISSUES: This action is consistent with the State Regents’ “Electronically Delivered and Traditional Off-Campus Courses and Program” policy. The Electronic Media Policy calls for a two-step approval process. Evidence of specified quality criteria must be provided at the time of the initial request, with provisional approval granted if the criteria are addressed satisfactorily. Following provisional approval, the institution must conduct a best practice review that provides quantitative and qualitative analysis of the electronic media offerings through a rigorous review of exemplary programs from other institutions. Final approval will depend on the results of the best practice review. ANALYSIS: WOSC has requested approval to offer the Associate in Applied Science in Office Systems Technology (049) electronically. No new courses will be added. WOSC’s request addresses satisfactorily the criteria listed in the Electronic Media Policy. These criteria include faculty qualifications and training, student demand, adequacy of resources, and funding. WOSC’s responses are summarized below. • Faculty. As required by policy, faculty teaching online courses hold the same academic credentials

as faculty teaching traditional courses. WOSC has recently hired an Instructional Design Coordinator. This individual works with faculty to ensure quality in online course design and online course delivery. This coordinator also provides training in emerging technologies to update faculty skills.

• Demand. While the Office Systems Technology degree is not high profile, local area businesses expressed need for the skills taught in the program. The program’s advisory committee

197

recommended the online delivery mechanism be added to allow flexibility required for military students and their spouses. WOSC also works with four area technology centers. Allowing students to take online classes to complete this degree program bridges the gap between the technology centers and WOSC and will allow more students to complete the program. The program will also benefit WOSC’s welfare-to-work students who need flexible college courses to complete college work in a shorter time period.

• Student Support Services. Students may enroll online, check financial aid, billing information, etc.,

through Campus Connect, the institution’s portal. WOSC uses two course management platforms, WebCT and Moodle (an open source product), but is working toward merging into a single platform. Tutorials are provided to facilitate usage and access. Faculty who teach online courses will post virtual office hours to allow students access to faculty online. Online communication tools within the course management system will encourage communication among faculty, students, and among students. Once a student sets up a library account, they have access to over 500,000 online periodicals through WOSC’s library. A full-time help desk is available for online students.

• Funding. No new funding will be required to deliver this program electronically. Existing

allocations from WOSC’s Information Services budget will fund the course management system, hardware/server costs, faculty, and student support services will meet the cost of the online program.

WOSC will conduct a rigorous best practice review during the first two years of the program’s online offerings. Continuation of electronic delivery beyond spring 2008 will depend on the results of the best practices review.

September 14, 2006

AGENDA ITEM #24-g (1): Grants. SUBJECT: “Raising College Aspirations” Community and Faith-Based Organization Grants RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents ratify grants to support community and faith-based organizations that promote Oklahoma’s Promise - the OHLAP scholarship program and provide college aspiration activities for students and families.

BACKGROUND:

Since early January 2005 the State Regents’ Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) has piloted and implemented projects with community and faith-based organizations (CBO’s) that promote Oklahoma’s Promise – the Oklahoma Higher Learning Access Program (OHLAP) scholarship program. The projects have been successful and have contributed to the overall growth of the OHLAP program in the state. This year from January through June, for example, the enrollment of students into the OHLAP program in three Oklahoma City high schools (Capitol Hill High School, U.S. Grant High School and Southeast High School) increased by 229 students. This compares with a 132 student enrollment increase for five other Oklahoma City metropolitan high schools. The project high schools had 73% more enrollments. This enrollment increase is largely attributable to the efforts of the community-based organization, the Greater Oklahoma City Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, which was assigned to work with the three individual school sites. College student interns involved in the project identified eligible high school students at Capitol Hill High School, U.S. Grant High School and Southeast High School and made appointments with parents, guiding them though the OHLAP enrollment process until students were successfully enrolled. Tulsa and eleven other Oklahoma communities involved in the project had more modest increases in OHLAP enrollment, but still the efforts of the community based organizations have made a difference. Capitalizing on the success of OHLAP enrollment through the CBO grant project, Oklahoma GEAR UP has expanded the scope of the project by allowing community and faith-based organizations to include other college aspiration activities and parent engagement activities. Examples of college aspiration and parent engagement activities are: • Providing students advice and counsel on course selection and succeeding academically; • Creating career awareness field trips to community business and industry locations to showcase

professions that require a college degree; • College campus tours to public and private two-year and four-year institutions; • Conducting financial aid awareness activities, including special events that help students and parents

apply for federal, state, institutional and private scholarships; and • Creating parent training workshops that raise parent and student expectations for education and

careers.

199

The CBO grant project is also concentrating its efforts in communities and high schools where enrollment in the OHLAP is minimal and where increasing OHLAP program enrollment will have the greatest impact. In large measure, the CBO grant project is shifting its efforts and resources to Tulsa County where typically less than 10% of eligible students in each of the Tulsa Public School Districts high schools are enrolled in the OHLAP program. In Tulsa County, one large grant will go to the Community Action Project of Tulsa County (CAPTC) which will launch a coordinated OHLAP promotion effort in five urban high schools, leveraging its successful Benefits Eligibility Screening for Oklahomans (BESO) program and its free tax preparation program to reach more students and families with information about OHLAP. New grant projects are also underway in Oklahoma City, Muskogee, Lawton, Guymon and Stigler. POLICY ISSUES:

The provision of scholarships is a required component of the U.S. Department of Education’s Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP). In its 1999 proposal OHLAP was designated as Oklahoma GEAR UP’s scholarship component, providing priority students in selected Oklahoma schools with required financial assistance. The federal GEAR UP program also endorses the involvement of community-based organizations as partners to ensure local sustainability of early intervention strategies for college readiness. ANALYSIS:

In response to a GEAR UP request for proposal, sixteen community and faith-based organizations submitted proposals to participate in the “Raising College Aspirations” Community and Faith-Based Organization (CBO) grants project. The attached table lists the eight (8) community-based organizations that were selected to receive project funding. The table also lists the amount of grant funding and the higher education partners and school site partners for each community organization. The timeline for the project is from the present until July 2, 2007 which is also the deadline for enrollment of eligible current high school sophomore students. The project will be evaluated on the basis of enrollment of eligible students in the OHLAP program at each school site and on other evaluation criteria linked to measurable outcomes identified in each of the project proposals. Total funding for the grants is $119,981 federal dollars - all derived from the State Regents current GEAR UP grant award. No state funding is involved.

AGENDA ITEM #24-g (2): Grants. SUBJECT: GEAR UP RECOMMENDATION:

This item is presented for State Regents’ ratification BACKGROUND: In keeping with the public awareness focus and scope of the State Regents’ original GEAR UP grant awarded in 1999, GEAR UP is partnering once again with the Oklahoma Center for State Scholars, administrated by the Oklahoma Business and Education Coalition, to help promote the importance of high school students taking a challenging high school course of study in order to prepare for and be ready for college. Additionally, the State Regents and many other partners participated in the Achieving Classroom Excellence Act (ACE) Task Force, creating multiple plans to implement the education reforms led by Governor Brad Henry. One outcome of this work was to create a campaign to inform parents and students about the new high school course requirements and encourage parents to ensure their children take the recommended (default) curriculum. In GEAR UP Phase I’s final year, informing parents and students of curricular issues that help them prepare for college was a priority. To that end, GEAR UP and OBEC, as well as other partners are helping to fund a campaign to help Governor Henry’s initiatives in education to reach into the decision-making in every home in Oklahoma where high school students’ lives are being planned. POLICY ISSUES: This item is consistent with GEAR UP’s goals and objectives, with the goals of the ACE task force and is being ratified because the final day for the GEAR UP Phase I grant to encumber resources was on August 31, 2006. ANALYSIS: OBEC is leading the efforts for a campaign to inform Oklahoma high school students and parents about the benefits of the new recommended high school curriculum, as well as the problems that students may face if parents opt them out of the new, more rigorous high school requirements. When high school requirements change, often there is confusion in Oklahoma households about what is required for their sons or daughters in high school, as well as what the best course of study should be.

200.1

Within the ACE task force, OBEC agreed to lead the campaign to inform the state of all the issues associated with Governor Henry’s landmark education initiative. Other partners within the ACE task force, including the State Regents through GEAR UP, are contributing to this effort. Therefore, the State Regents are awarding a grant of $25,000.00 to OBEC and their Center for State Scholars to maximize all ACE partners’ abilities to reach every child and every parent regarding very important high school choices. State Regents’ staff will work with OBEC as the campaign is developed and ensure that the messaging is consistent not only with the ACE law, but also the goals and priorities for student preparation for college forwarded by the State Regents and supported by GEAR UP. It is recommended the State Regents ratify this grant, funded by GEAR UP.

200.2


September 14, 2006

AGENDA ITEM #24-h: Scholarships. SUBJECT: Approval of funds for scholarships. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve an allocation of $3,000 for scholarships to be awarded by the Governor’s Advisory Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities.

BACKGROUND: The Governor’s Advisory Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities, through their liaison in the Office of Handicapped Concerns has requested that the State Regents sponsor three $1,000 scholarships to be awarded to outstanding high school seniors with disabilities. The scholarship recipients would be selected by the Committee and honored at an award ceremony in spring 2007. The Committee has made similar requests for the past three years, which the Regents have approved. POLICY ISSUES: This action complements the State Regents’ policy to reward outstanding student achievement and to provide access to higher education for a diverse population of students. ANALYSIS: The scholarships are a one-time award and nonrenewable. The scholarships may only be used at an institution of higher education in Oklahoma. The $3,000 would be allocated from the Scholarship Reserve Fund (606/710-26120), which consists of residual private donations for scholarship programs that have now expired. The Committee reports that the State Regents’ commitment of three scholarships in the past three years led to an equal commitment from the State Department of Career Technology as well as three additional scholarships funded from private sources. The Committee also reports that the visibility of the scholarships has helped raise the expectations of students with disabilities and has encouraged the U.S. Department of Labor to continue funding for the high school program in which these students participate.

September 14, 2006

AGENDA ITEM #24-i (1): Contract. SUBJECT: FY 2007 agreement with the Oklahoma Board of Career and Technology Education. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve the agreement with the Oklahoma Board of Career and Technology Education for FY 2007.

BACKGROUND: For the past several years, the State Regents have entered into an annual agreement with the State Board of Career and Technology Education whereby certain State System institutions carry out programs and services of a technical education nature utilizing funds provided by the Department of Career and Technology Education. POLICY ISSUES: State law (70 O.S. 1991, Section 2264) provides for the State Board of Career and Technology Education (formerly Oklahoma Board of Vocational and Technical Education) to contract with the State Regents for the administration of the amount of funds set aside for supplementing the funding of postsecondary programs. The State Regents assume responsibility for allocation of the funds. ANALYSIS: The attached contract provides for the transfer of approximately $2 million in state and federal funding from the Oklahoma State Board of Career and Technology Education to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education in exchange for services. The services provided by Oklahoma colleges and universities relate to the operation of Tech Prep programs, Carl D. Perkins programs, teacher inservice and professional development for CareerTech teachers, and data/information services. Attachment

AGENDA ITEM #24-i (2): Contract. SUBJECT: Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Tinker Air Force Base and the

Oklahoma City Aviation/Aerospace Education Alliance. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve the Memorandum of Understanding between Tinker Air Force Base and the Oklahoma City Aviation/Aerospace Education Alliance.

BACKGROUND: In 1991, system wide program evaluation was viewed as one of several significant components in the State Regents’ program for Academic Excellence and Efficiency. In addition to teacher education and business, aviation/aerospace education was also included by the State Regents for purposes of conducting a system wide program examination. The State Regents assembled a team of nine internationally recognized experts in aviation/aerospace education to complete the examination. At the January 1994 State Regents meeting, a member of the aviation/aerospace team presented the team findings in the form of a report. Overall, the aviation/aerospace team found some very solid programs administered and taught by a cadre of highly skilled professionals who share a love for aviation and the new challenges presented by space exploration. However, there is much work yet to be accomplished so that the system can timely deliver programs that fully meet students’ needs, interface with worldwide industry standards, and articulate with each other to create a “seamless garment” in terms of overall program integrity. POLICY ISSUES: This action is consistent with State Regents commitment to the enhancement of educational opportunities for citizens in the state. ANALYSIS: A number of improvements were made in aviation/aerospace programs offered by state system institutions as a result of the aviation/aerospace team’s recommendations. In particular, an Aviation/Aerospace Educational Alliance was formed. The Alliance consisted of a confederation of public education institutions serving the Oklahoma City metropolitan area involved in the delivery of training and academic degree programs in the field of aviation and aerospace. The Alliance consists of agreements among its member institutions related to training, academic degrees, and research programs, resource sharing, and cooperative student services programs.

209

In 1997, the Alliance responded to a Request for Proposal (RFP) by Tinker Air Force Base to offer aviation/aerospace courses and programs to Tinker personnel. The Alliance was the competition and has been offering aviation/aerospace courses and programs to Tinker personnel ever since. Given the importance of Tinker Air Force Base to Oklahoma’s economy and as a way to continue to meet and respond to the educational needs of Tinker’s employees, the Oklahoma City Aviation Educational Alliance will continue to deliver high quality educational courses and programs on the base.

AGENDA ITEM #24-i (3): Contract. SUBJECT: Approval of extension of contract with collection agencies. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve a one-year extension of the contracts with OSI Education Services, Inc., VanRu Credit Corporation and Zwicker & Associates, P.C, through September 30, 2007.

BACKGROUND:

The Oklahoma Guaranteed Student Loan program principal activity is guaranteeing student loans through the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP). Although OGSLP is also charged with developing and operating programs to prevent and remedy defaults by borrowers, a significant source of operating revenue for the division is collections on defaulted loans. In the past fiscal year, the division collected $13.9 million on a cash basis, representing 84 percent of total revenue. The division typically outsources approximately 45-50 percent of the most challenging loans, retaining the most promising to attempt to collect directly from the borrower. Expenses for collection agencies totaled $2.6 million in FY06.

POLICY ISSUES: The recommendation is consistent with Regents’ policy and actions. ANALYSIS: Several temporary factors that could potentially reduce revenue lead to the recommendation to extend contract for an additional year.

1. Federal legislation enacted in the past year may affect the realization of budgeted revenue during the 2007 fiscal year.

2. The current OGSLP collections agency contracts’ terms are more favorable that those negotiated recently by other guarantors with their contractors.

3. The pending operations and performance review scheduled for September through December will evaluate OGSLP’s current outsourcing strategies and contracts.

In anticipation of changes in federal legislation, the division’s strategy has shifted in the past two years from consolidated loan collections to targeting collections of rehabilitation loans, as the amount that may be retained from this loan class is significantly larger. Moreover, as of July 1 of this year, the number of on-time borrower payments required to qualify a loan for the rehabilitation category was reduced to 9 from 12, further enhancing the revenue potential for this category. The following table shows the composition of the collections portfolio by type of loan for the current and previous year. Consolidated loans currently make up over half the portfolio, and the federal legislation reduces the amount retained by OGSLP to 10 percent from 18.5 percent, beginning October 1. The current contracts with collection

211

agencies permit a corresponding reduction in the collections retained by the collection agencies, from a current range of 6 to 9.85 percent to a range of 3.24 to 5.32 percent after October 1. Type of loan % of Portfolio -05 % of Portfolio - 06 % Retained %Retained post 10/1 Regular loans 24.3% 22.0% 23.0% unchanged Consolidated 61.7% 56.3% 18.5% 10% Rehabilitations 7.2% 15.5% 31.0% unchanged Treasury offsets 6.8% 6.2% 0% n/a Type of loan % Retained %Retained post 10/1 Contractor % Contractor % post 10/1 Regular loans 23.0% unchanged 10.54% - 13.42% unchanged Consolidated 18.5% 10% 6.0% - 9.85% 3.24% - 5.32% Rehabilitations 31.0% unchanged 10% - 13.25% unchanged An additional provision of the Higher Education Reconciliation Act (HERA) will affect further the most advantageous mix of the loan portfolio by specifying that effective October 1, 2009, guarantors will operate under a 45 percent limit on the amount of consolidations as a percentage of collections. As noted above, current collection agency contracts have favorable terms that will accommodate the changes in federal legislation. The division has been able to reduce the percentage payments to the contractors on consolidated collections after October 1 in response to the mandated percentage change in retention of consolidated loans collections to 10 percent. Division management also has anecdotal information on recent collection agency bids received by guarantors in other states that indicate higher rates than those in OGSLP’s current contracts.

POLICY ISSUES: The recommendation is consistent with State Regents’ policy and actions. ANALYSIS: The University of Central Oklahoma requests $35,000 in support for the seventh annual research exposition and symposium. This support provides display boards, flyers, program, expenses for speakers and judges and other meeting expenses. The State Regents along with several additional sponsors have agreed to host this annual event.

227


September 14, 2006

AGENDA ITEM #24-k (2): EPSCoR. SUBJECT: Approval of Matching Funds for NASA. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve EPSCoR matching funds in the amount of $63,000 to the University of Oklahoma for a one-year NASA project.

BACKGROUND: Seven federal agencies have EPSCoR or similar programs to encourage the development of competitive sponsored research in states that have historically had little federally sponsored research. The federal agencies are the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy, the Department of Defense, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the United States Department of Agriculture. Oklahoma is one of 26 states that participate in a program at one or more federal agencies. For FY 2006, the State Regents approved an allocation of $2,699,647 for Oklahoma EPSCoR projects. POLICY ISSUES: This recommendation is consistent with State Regents’ policy and actions. ANALYSIS: The NASA EPSCoR Program in Oklahoma encompasses researchers from both the research and regional universities. The grant funds two scientific projects in Oklahoma under the auspices of the grant, one on battery power and one on water storage. Oklahoma received a one-year continuation beyond the scope of the original five-year grant. The recommended allocation is for year six in the amount of $63,000. The University of Oklahoma will contribute $62,000 for the one-year award.

229


September 14, 2006

AGENDA ITEM #24-k (3): EPSCoR. SUBJECT: Approval of Contract and Allocation of Matching Funds. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents approve: 1) the August 2007 through July 2008 agreement with Oklahoma State University to serve as the fiscal agent for the National Science Foundation EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement Plan and 2) an allocation of $1 million for this program.

BACKGROUND: In 2005, the National Science Foundation notified the Oklahoma EPSCoR Committee that the three-year Research Infrastructure Improvement Plan proposal had been approved for funding. By law, the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education act as the funding agent for state matching funds and support the EPSCoR programs through the Research Matching Fund. The EPSCoR allocation of $1 million for FY08/FY09 funds the third and final year of the award. Past NSF EPSCoR awards to Oklahoma not only supported individual investigators, but established research collaborations and programs that transcend individual campuses and institutions to build statewide interinstitutional Science and Technology Centers in biotechnology, materials science and environmental research. These centers bring together existing individual and group research strengths in the state and provide the critical mass of researchers and facilities to achieve competitiveness with first-rank programs.

The current award continues infrastructure improvements for the Science and Technology centers, encourages the success of minorities and women as professionals in science and engineering and establishes advisory committees to promote university-private sector partnerships.

Other areas of special focus include:

• the creation of a stable base of R&D funding for Oklahoma higher education;

• the recruitment and retention of high quality science and engineering faculty;

• enhancement of the public visibility of the state's research and graduate programs; and

• establishment of a uniform database of quantitative indicators of activity and progress to assess its impact upon the state's R&D competitiveness.

POLICY ISSUES: This section is consistent with State Regents’ policy and actions.

231

ANALYSIS:

The current NSF EPSCoR Award (Research Infrastructure Improvement Plan) focuses on two scientific areas, nanotechnology and plant virology. The nanotechnology theme will emphasize fuel cells and the interface between nanotechnology and biomaterials. The second theme will connect plant virus biodiversity to ecology utilizing the genomics infrastructure developed through the last three years and will use the Tallgrass Prairie as a sample collection. Institutions participating in the grant are Oklahoma State University, the University of Oklahoma Norman and Health Sciences Center campuses, the Sam Noble Research Foundation, and The University of Tulsa.

At their April 2006 Regents’ meeting, the Regents approved matching funds or year two of this three-year award. Year three of the award has now been forward-funded by the National Science Foundation; therefore, year three matching funds are being requested. Funds are available from the FY07 allocation of $2,699,647 approved at the Regents’ meeting of June 23, 2006. The attached agreement formalizes Oklahoma State University's role as the fiscal agent for year three of the award.

AGENDA ITEM #25-b (1): Annual Reports. SUBJECT: Degrees Conferred in Oklahoma Higher Education 2004-05. RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the State Regents accept this report.

BACKGROUND: • During the 2004-05 academic year, Oklahoma public higher education institutions conferred a total of

28,769 certificates and degrees. Compared to 2003-04, the number of degrees conferred increased 4.2 percent from 27,607. An accurate comparison of the number of degrees conferred at private institutions is not possible because not all private institutions reported or verified their data in both years.

One-Year Difference

Type of Degree 2002-03 2003-04 2004-05 02-03 / 03-04 03-04 / 04-05 Public Institutions Certificate 790 621 637 -21.4% 2.6% Associate 7,414 7,883 8,155 6.3% 3.5% Bachelor’s 13,044 13,753 14,631 5.4% 6.4% First-Professional 731 742 696 1.5% -6.2% Master’s 4,166 4,246 4,294 1.9% 1.1% Doctoral 339 362 356 6.8% -1.7% Total Public 26,484 27,607 28,769 4.2% 4.2% • The number of bachelor’s degrees conferred per person in Oklahoma increased 4.0 times from 1941-

42 to 2004-05, from one in 973 to one in 242. The number of master’s degrees awarded per person increased 14.6 times, from one in 12,038 to one in 826. The number of doctoral degrees conferred per person increased 74.1 times, from one in 738,333 to one in 9,966.

. • During the last 15 years from 1990-91 to 2004-05, the largest number of degrees conferred at public

institutions was bachelor's, followed by associate, master's, first-professional, and doctoral, respectively.

• The number of degrees conferred increased from 1990-91 to 2004-05 for the associate degree (from

5,409 to 8,155), for the bachelor’s degree (from 11,668 to 14,631), for first-professional degrees (from 590 to 696), for master’s degrees (from 2,961 to 4,294), and for doctoral degrees (from 352 to 356).

257

POLICY ISSUES: Article XIII-A of the Oklahoma Constitution states that the State Regents “shall grant degrees and other forms of academic recognition for completion of the prescribed courses in all of such institutions.” This report is a summary of degrees granted. ANALYSIS: • From 1990-91 to 1993-94, and from 1998-99 to 2004-05, the largest number of bachelor’s degrees

awarded at public institutions was in business and management followed by education. From 1994-95 to 1997-98, education had the largest number of bachelor’s degrees awarded. In 2004-05, the most master’s degrees were awarded in business and management followed by education. Education accounted for the most doctoral degrees conferred during the past 15 years.

• From 1990-91 to 2004-05, the largest percentage of degrees was awarded to White students,

averaging 83.3 percent at the first-professional level, 79.9 percent at the associate level, 76.9 percent at the bachelor’s level, 71.1 percent at the master’s level, and 66.1 percent at the doctoral level. In 2004-05, American Indians were second at the associate, bachelor’s, and first-professional levels. Nonresident Aliens ranked second at the master's and doctoral levels.

• Comparing 2004-05 to 2003-04 at public institutions, the number of degrees conferred increased for

master’s degrees for men; and certificates, associates, first-professional, and doctoral degree levels for women; and bachelor’s degrees for men and women.

AGENDA ITEM #25-b (5): Annual Reports. SUBJECT: Preparing for College Mass Mailing. RECOMMENDATION:

This item is for information only. BACKGROUND: In January 1999 the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education announced an aggressive plan to increase the proportion of Oklahomans holding a bachelor’s degree from 20 to 28 percent by 2010 and the proportion of associate degree holders from 5 to 10 percent. Called Brain Gain 2010: Building Oklahoma Through Intellectual Power, the plan is designed to move Oklahoma from the bottom to the top one-third of all states for its educational and economic performance. Regents are seeking to add more college degree holders to the state’s population by focusing on three areas – increasing the proportion of Oklahomans who earn a college degree, keeping more Oklahoma graduates in the state and attracting college degree holders from outside the state. Additionally, in 1997 the Citizens’ Commission on the Future of Oklahoma Higher Education recommended that the State Regents expand efforts to explain the services Oklahoma higher education offers to Oklahoma and Oklahomans and the benefits the state and its citizens receive from those services. For the 14th consecutive year, the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, in a joint effort with the Oklahoma Guaranteed Student Loan Program, undertook a mass mailing of publications designed to help 8th-12th grade students better prepare for college. Many of the materials include information that has been specifically requested by 8th-12th grade counselors through annual surveys. POLICY ISSUES: This initiative is consistent with the Regents’ Brain Gain 2010 initiative and with recommendations made by the Citizens' Commission on the Future of Oklahoma Higher Education in October 1997 to better publicize higher education services and benefits.

ANALYSIS: In past years, the mass mailing was outsourced to temporary workers or to a mailing service.

The following publications were distributed to head counselors at Oklahoma junior high and high schools in August 2006. 8th-10th Graders…It’s Time to Design Your Plan for College, Oklahoma’s Official Guide to Preparing for College High School Juniors & Seniors…It’s Time to Design Your Plan for College, Oklahoma’s Official Guide to Preparing for College More than 230,000 brochures on preparing for college were distributed to head counselors at Oklahoma public and State Department of Education-accredited private schools for distribution to each 8th-12th grade student in their schools. This is the fourth year that separate, grade-specific brochures were produced. More than 146,000 brochures focusing on early academic and financial planning for college were distributed to 8th-10th grades, and nearly 84,000 brochures focusing on academic requirements and financial aid were sent to 11th-12th grades. The brochures were also sent to home school organizations and to libraries statewide. Online versions of both brochures are also available on the Student Center Web site. The brochures are designed to inform students of the courses they must take in high school to be admitted to an Oklahoma state college or university. They also detail admission standards, placement score and financial aid information. In addition, they encourage students to call the State Regents' toll-free hotline number or visit the Student Center Web site for additional information. The brochures also feature a map of Oklahoma public colleges and universities with phone numbers and Web site addresses, as well as estimated college costs, salary comparisons and a glossary of college-related terms. This is the 14th year these brochures have been produced. The Official Guide to Oklahoma’s Colleges and Universities Approximately 500 guides were distributed to counselors at public and private high schools and to home school organizations in Oklahoma. One guide was sent to each Oklahoma high school with 12th-grade students. Copies were also sent to libraries statewide. The guides are three-hole punched so that the information can be easily duplicated. Students, counselors, parents and others are also encouraged to access the online version of the guide on the Student Center Web site. The guide provides a short profile on each college and university in Oklahoma and includes information on preparing for college, concurrent

268

enrollment, transfer, college costs and financial aid. In addition, it provides a glossary of college-related terms, publicizes the State Regents' toll-free Student Information Hotline number and the Student Center Web site, and includes a section on helpful Web sites. For the fourth year, a section for international students is included with information on English language requirements, costs, Oklahoma weather and culture, student populations and more. Also, for the first time, the publication is being provided on CD-ROM. The guide is produced by the Communicators Council in coordination with the Council on Student Affairs. This is the 11th year that the guide has been produced. Are You Looking for Money? Approximately 500 copies of the improved “Are You Looking for Money?” publication were distributed to counselors at public and private high schools and to home school organizations and libraries in Oklahoma. The booklet is designed to be a “one-stop” reference guide of information about student loans and, for the second year, combined three previous brochures – Money Talk, The Guide to Student Loans and Are You Looking for Money? – into one publication. Each Oklahoma high school with 12th-grade students received one copy of the booklet plus a separately designed black and white version for photocopying. The booklet provides information on Federal Stafford and PLUS loans, including the application process, borrowing limits, interest rates, repayment, a glossary and financial aid checklists for juniors and seniors. The booklet is also available online on the Student Center Web site. Oklahoma College Savings Plan flyer Approximately 500 flyers were distributed to counselors at public and private high schools, home school organizations, and libraries in Oklahoma. One flyer, suitable for photocopying, was sent to each Oklahoma high school with 12th-grade students. The flyer provides information on the program, a smart, flexible way for families to save for their children’s futures. The flyer will also be available online on the Student Center Web site.
