BOARD OF REGENTS University of Washington

October 9, 2014

The Board of Regents held its regular meeting on Thursday, October 9, 2014, in the UW Tower Board Room. The notice of the meeting was appropriately provided to the public and the media.

CALL TO ORDER

Regent Ayer called the meeting to order at 12:15 p.m. ROLL CALL

Assistant Secretary Tennant called the roll: Present were Regents Ayer (chairing), Blake, Harrell, Jaech, Rice, Riojas, Brown, Shanahan, Simon; President Young, Provost Cauce, Ms. Warren, Ms. Goldblatt; ex officio representatives: Professor O’Neill, Ms. Popejoy, Ms. Xiao. Absent: Regent Smith, Dr. Diaz.

CONFIRM AGENDA

The agenda was confirmed as presented. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD

Regent Ayer announced the Board would receive comments from the public. This segment of the meeting is meant to give Board members a chance to hear directly from the public on any subject pertaining to the University. No-one signed up to provide public comment.

REPORT OF THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS: Regent Ayer

Regent Ayer said he was looking forward to the coming year as Board Chair and the opportunity to work closely with the Regents, President, Provost, and others to continue the University’s tremendous momentum. The Board’s focus on priorities and goals should further that momentum resulting in a very good year.

BOARD OF REGENTS 2 October 9, 2014

Regent Ayer said President Young would deliver his annual address to the campus on October 15, offering highlights of the University’s recent successes and discussing how the University’s unique vision, commitment to innovation, and shared passion for the work it does is shaping the future of the community, the state, and the world. Regents have been invited. For those unable to attend in person, the address will be streamed live over the internet. Many Regents participated in the University’s Freshman Convocation ceremony in September. About 5,700 incoming freshmen attended with their families. This event highlighted how critical the University is in providing opportunities to shape the lives of thousands of students and how eager (and also anxious) the freshmen were to get started. All the speakers, including President Young, Provost Cauce, Dean Ed Taylor, and others, did an excellent job. The program is webcast on UWTV. Convocation was followed by the “President’s Picnic” under a large tent on Rainier Vista, attended by a record-breaking 1,680 people. Students took advantage of the opportunity to have their photo taken with President and Mrs. Young. The tent on Rainier Vista was used again the next day when GPSS hosted a Husky Sunrise Breakfast to welcome graduate and professional students to the University. This was the first time this event was held, and two Regents attended. Regent Ayer invited President Young to give his report.

REPORT OF THE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT: President Young

President Young thanked Regents for attending so many University events over the past few months, and said their participation and engagement means an enormous amount to the University. Homecoming Week begins with the Dawg Dash on campus on Sunday, October 19, and coincides with the University’s official brand campaign launch. Last month the President reported U.S. News and World Report ranked UW second among best universities for Veterans. During the UW’s annual Veteran’s Appreciation Week in November UW will recognize its students, alumni, retirees, faculty and staff who have participated in the uniformed services and armed forces. The University will host a number of special events to celebrate the shared values of respect, excellence and collaboration by coming together to exchange stories of veteran service. Dr. Richard Layton, ’54, ’58, is the recipient of this year’s Distinguished Alumni Veteran Award. Dr. Layton is an extraordinary individual and represents UW’s values and commitment to public service. The President reviewed a number of rankings for the University. He praised the University’s efforts in the area of efficiency and affordability, while remaining one of the very best Universities in the world.


The UW’s degree completion initiative began a year-and-a-half ago, and allows the almost one million people in Washington who have completed some college to complete their bachelor’s degrees through a technology-based platform. The first degree offered is in early childhood learning. The program was recently ranked the number two best degree in the U.S. in the area of “students before profits.” The President reported on a first-stage agreement with Washington State University (WSU). Recently WSU decided participation in WWAMI medical education in Spokane is not consistent with its ambition to create its own medical school. UW is saddened by this decision but understands WSU’s perspective. UW remains deeply committed to providing the expansion of medical services and medical education, along with the concomitant research attached, in Spokane and the east side of the state. UW and WSU are preparing a second set of discussions to assure the resources dedicated for WWAMI remain. UW plans to make a modest request to the legislature to expand WWAMI consistent with the vision and goals articulated, and based on the needs of the state and the community. President Young provided some summary admission and enrollment numbers for the Seattle campus freshman class, saying the excellence and quality of the University is reflected in this year’s freshman class.

The freshman applicant pool for the Seattle campus increased by 4.7% overall. There was an increase of 9.7% for non-resident applications and a slight decrease for resident applications, consistent with the state’s high school graduation rate demographics. There were about 70,000 total applicants for graduate and undergraduate programs. The overall admission rate for the Seattle campus freshman class was 55.2%. The Seattle campus freshman class numbers 6,361 of which 4,275 (67.2%) are residents and 2,086 (32.8%) non-residents. This compares to a freshman class of 6,255 last year. The growth rate is consistent with that on the Bothell and Tacoma campuses. The average GPA of the freshman class is 3.76, a 1% increase from last year. The class also had an increase in SAT and ACT scores. The freshman class is 51% female and 49% male. A record number of African-American students enrolled in this year’s freshman class – 216 compared to 181 last year. The African-American proportion of the class is also a record at 3.4%. The overall under-represented minority student proportion of this year’s class is 12.81%, compared to 12.58% last year. The Seattle campus also enrolled 1,551 transfer students, of which 1,341 (86.5%) were from community colleges in Washington. 103 students (included in the totals) enrolled in online degree programs this year compared to 44 last year. The University continues to increase its total enrollment from 52,661 last year to 54,223 this year. 77.1% of all undergraduates at the University of Washington’s campuses are residents of Washington. The African-American freshman class enrollment numbers are of special note, especially among residents; 4.5% of the in-state residents in the freshman class are African-


American. This not only equals the proportion of African-American students in public schools in Washington, but exceeds the proportion of Washington’s African-American students who have graduated high school and taken a college entrance examination. While the macro-level results were quite good, UW is monitoring some population-specific results and possible trends of concern. Surprisingly, the number and proportion of class of Hispanic/Latino students slightly decreased this year. This breaks a long-standing trend of increases and does not match the demographic trends of the state. President Young believes this is a singular phenomenon that will not be repeated next year. The President praised the holistic admissions process which ensures UW’s students have accomplished remarkable things in addition to their excellent classroom work.

CONSENT AGENDA

Regent Ayer noted there were six items for approval on the consent agenda, and called for a motion.

MOTION: Upon the recommendation of the Chair of the Board and the motion made

by Regent Simon, seconded by Regent Rice, the Board voted to approve the six items on the consent agenda as shown below:

Minutes for the meeting of September 11, 2014 Establishing the Master of Science in Electrical Engineering in the School of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), UW Bothell (Agenda no.

See Attachment A–3. Housing & Food Services Student Housing: Phase IV(a) McCarty Hall Replacement and Haggett Hall Demolition Project, Review Project Concept, Select Architect, Approve Use of Alternative Public Works, and Delegate Authority to Award Construction Contract (Agenda no. F–3)


It was the recommendation of the administration and the Finance and Asset Management Committee that the Board of Regents: 1. Delegate authority to the President, or his designee, to award a design contract for the HFS Student Housing: Phase IV(a) McCarty Hall Replacement and Haggett Hall Demolition Project on the Seattle Campus to the architecture firm of Kieran Timberlake of Philadelphia, PA, subject to successful negotiation of an architectural agreement. In the event of an unsuccessful negotiation with the selected firm, a delegation of authority is requested to open negotiations with the alternate team of Mahlum Architects of Seattle; 2. Authorize the use of the General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) Alternative Public Works contracting method; and 3. Delegate authority to the President, or his designee, to award the preconstruction GC/CM contract, in an amount not to exceed $4 million. See Attachment F–3. UW Governmental Affairs Advisory Committee Membership Appointments (Agenda no. G–1) It was the recommendation of the administration and the Governance Committee of the Board of Regents to make the following appointments to the Governmental Affairs Advisory Committee:

Regent Herb Simon (Chair) 10/1/14 to 9/30/17 Regent Joanne Harrell 10/1/14 to 9/30/17 Mike Egan 10/1/14 to 9/30/17 Jerry Grinstein 10/1/14 to 9/30/17 Rob McKenna 10/1/14 to 9/30/17 Tony Williams 10/1/14 to 9/30/17

See Attachment G–1. UW Investment Committee (UWINCO) Membership Reappointments (Agenda no. G–2) It was the recommendation of the administration and the Governance Committee that the Board of Regents make the following reappointments to the University of Washington Investment Committee:

Jeff Brotman October 1, 2014 to September 30, 2017 Mary Pugh October 1, 2014 to September 30, 2017

It was further the recommendation of the administration and the Governance Committee that Jeff Brotman be appointed as UWINCO Chair for the period October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2017.


See Attachment G–2. Board of Regents Committee Appointments (Agenda no. G–3)

It was the recommendation of the Governance Committee that the Board of Regents make the following appointments to Board of Regents Standing Committees: Governance Committee: Regent Constance W. Rice, effective January 1, 2015. Academic and Student Affairs Committee: Regent Herb Simon, effective immediately. Regent Simon will be reassigned to serve on the Academic and Student Affairs Committee instead of on the Finance and Asset Management Committee. See Attachment G–3.

STANDING COMMITTEES ACADEMIC AND STUDENT AFFAIRS COMMITTEE: Regent Jaech, Chair Academic and Administrative Appointments (Agenda no. A–1)

MOTION: Upon the recommendation of the administration and the motion made by

Regent Jaech, the Board voted to approve the personnel appointments. Regent Brown abstained from the discussion and vote.

See Attachment A–1. Introduction of New Leadership: Interim Dean of the College of Education (Agenda no. A–2) (Information only) Regent Jaech reported the Committee met welcomed Deborah McCutchen, the Interim Dean of the College of Education. See Attachment A–2. Research at the UW: Status Report (Agenda no. A–4) (Information only) Regents heard a report about research at the University. UW continues to successfully compete for federal funding, receiving nearly $1.4 billion per year. Regents learned from students about how research impacts the educational mission of the University. Analogous to an apprenticeship model, undergraduates have the opportunity for “hands-on” learning, while graduate students learn to be mentors. One of the main benefits of research is the application of learning to real problems which keeps students at the leading edge of their fields and teaches them mentoring from both sides – being mentored and being mentors. The opportunity to do research is attractive to potential students. Students shared that conducting research offers them the benefit of eliminating the fear of failure. The scope and impact of research on education was presented. 8,000 UW


undergraduates participated in at least one quarter of research last year, providing many students with an important first step on the career ladder. Diversity in research was discussed; gender balance varies by field, otherwise all the students felt there was good diversity. The Committee discussed the balance between undergraduate and graduate research opportunities. Graduates student researchers are more expensive, but they bring more skills. There is a good cost versus benefit balance, and a progression of training, for graduate and undergraduate researchers. Students expressed a need for more research assistant slots. Many graduate students are not able to find research assistant positions. Work study is underutilized and could present an opportunity for funding additional research positions. See Attachment A–4.

UW Residential Communities – Supporting Student Success (Agenda no. A–5) (Information only) Regents learned about creating community in residence halls on campus, with a goal to create connections, to help students discover their purpose, and to build community. Three students presented their experiences. One lived in a residential community associated with the College of Engineering. A second student told Regents about his experience as a resident advisor, describing how he was responsible for managing and building community for a floor in a residence hall. A third student participated in the Residential Community Student Association, which is the student government for residence halls. Regents asked about how these programs measure their success and learned retention, which increased over last five years from 34 to 40% students returning to the residence halls after their freshman year, is one key measurement. Regents asked how these communities could be leveraged for academic success. On-campus living has been proven to positively impact students and prepare them for academic and future success. See Attachment A–5.

FINANCE AND ASSET MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE: Regent Shanahan, Chair

Regent Shanahan reported the Committee is working to align its goals with those of the University: quality, accessibility, and affordability. UW One Capital Plan (Agenda no. F–1) (Information only) Vice Provost Jenny provided a look at the University’s capital requests, and held a discussion about items coming to the Regents for their approval in the next few months. Mr. Jenny described the capital planning process, prioritization, and how the University is rethinking how capital is deployed and exploring alternatives such as creating multi-use facilities with higher utilization and flexibility to accommodate non-traditional department or staffs to be more resourceful and get more use out of the available capital. The Committee discussed how to balance near term needs with debt capacity. Future


actions include continued discussion and aligning UW’s capital needs with the legislative capital requests funding cycle. See Attachment F–1. Housing & Food Services Student Housing Phase I, II, and III: Status Update and Student Housing Master Plan Vision and Strategy Update (Agenda no. F–2) (Information only) The Committee discussed the Phase IV(a) upgrade of the residence halls. The current occupancy rate is 114%, which demonstrates the high demand for on-campus living. Regents asked how best to apply the lessons learned from the west campus experience to the northeast development. Regent Shanahan encouraged a focus on providing safe and efficient student services and a redevelopment plan yielding affordable housing for students. Regents asked to look at how this plan compares with other universities in terms of price point, and encouraged affordability and student input. See Attachment F–2.

UW Investment Committee (UWINCO) Update (Agenda no. F–4) (Information only) Keith Ferguson provided an investment update, reporting no major changes. See Attachment F–4.

Lean in Research and Student Accounting (Agenda no. F–5) (Information only) Sue Camber described the lean journey in Student Fiscal Services and Research. Regent Shanahan cited this as an example of improving an administrative process by systematically engaging the team to streamline the operation to continuously improve the cost structure and productivity in a way that inspires others to do more. The Regents have asked to hear from other parts of the University about the good work going on in the area of efficiency. See Attachment F–5. GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE: Regent Ayer, Chair Regent Ayer reported the Governance Committee took action on three items, which were approved on the consent agenda. One of the items was the approval of members of the Governmental Affairs Advisory Committee. He thanked Regent Herb Simon for putting together this Committee, and recognized Regent Joanne Harrell, Mike Egan, Jerry Grinstein, Rob McKenna, and Tony Williams for agreeing to serve on this committee with Regent Simon. Regent Ayer invited Regent Simon to say a few words about the Committee. Regent Simon said it was good to have a committee comprised of Regents and others who care about the University. The University faces challenges in Olympia, which can be addressed by these smart people. This Advisory Committee will be balanced with members from both political parties, who will offer insight on ways to


return funding levels for higher education. He plans to add one more person to the Committee, and will bring this to the Board for approval at a future meeting. Regent Simon was pleased to report his invitations to people to serve on the Committee were answered affirmatively, which demonstrates how much people value the University.

ICA Liaison (Information only) (Agenda no. G–4) See Attachment G–4. Board Survey Results – Board Assessment and Leadership Matrix (Information only) (Agenda no. G–5) The Governance Committee discussed the results of two recent surveys. To create a skills matrix, Regents were asked to rate their experience, skills, and knowledge in a number of areas to highlight the strengths of the Board. Regents received a summary with their materials. Regent Ayer said the Board is well-balanced and members have diverse backgrounds and experiences. This will be useful information for the Governance Committee to use for committee assignments and other appointments. It will be available, if requested, to the Governor to consider when making future appointments to the Board of Regents. Regent Ayer was hoping for 100% participation on the two surveys. To that end he asked the Board Secretary to attempt to capture the remaining members who have not responded. The Committee reviewed a brief analysis of the results of the Board Assessment Survey. These will be presented to the full Board for discussion and next steps at a future Board meeting. There are opportunities to improve Board performance by focusing on the goals of the University, working with the President to understand those goals, where the Board can add value, and how best to use the Committees to achieve those goals. See Attachment G–5. 2015 Governance Committee Meeting Dates (Information only) (Agenda no. G–6) The Governance Committee will hold its next meeting in 2015. See Attachment G–6.

REPORTS TO THE BOARD OF REGENTS

Regent Ayer invited the ASUW Bothell President, James Anderson, to join the Board at the table and invited Professor O’Neill to provide the report from the Faculty Senate. Faculty Senate Chair: Professor Kate O’Neill Professor O’Neill’s remarks are attached to these minutes. ASUW President: Ms. Christina Xiao


Ms. Xiao reported this year’s freshman class is engaged, involved, and excited. This is demonstrated by high attendance at ASUW’s back-to-school kick-off events. ASUW received a record number of applications for volunteer, intern, and committee positions. The ASUW Board received a report from the Student Technology Fee (STF) Committee, with the exciting news that Odegaard Undergraduate Library will open a 3D printing station. The STF also funded 3D printers for Mechanical Engineering and Health Sciences. The STF is a quarterly $40 fee paid by all students, and the committee reviews funding proposals from students across campus. The ASUW Senate held its first session where they met with Grant Kollet, Assistant Vice President UWAA, to discuss how to better incorporate the Alumni Association into the current student experience. Ms. Xiao reported on upcoming ASUW events: the second annual Husky Leadership Retreat, the second annual Elect Her training session, and a legislative reception featuring Governor Jay Inslee and Senator Barbara Bailey. They are planning a roundtable meeting with the Seattle Chamber of Commerce to explore how businesses, students, and higher education can better work together. GPSS President: Ms. Alice Popejoy Ms. Popejoy reported Husky Sunrise, the first welcome event for graduate and professional students, was a great success. She thanked the President and Provost for attending and providing remarks. GPSS expected, and hoped for, 500 students to attend, while almost 800 actually attended. She hopes this event will remain a standing tradition offering community-building for graduate and professional students. Fifty-eight of seventy-two GPSS openings on university-wide committees and commissions were filled by the second week of the quarter. Ms. Popejoy attributed this to the trend toward greater involvement and better communication. In collaboration with the Graduate School, Career Center, and Professional and Continuing Education, GPSS is focusing on career mentoring and career development for graduate and professional students. This effort continues the mentoring program started last year. On November 17, GPSS will hold a Higher Education Summit with a focus on the work force and emphasizing UW’s role as an innovation pipeline for the state of Washington. In closing, Ms. Popejoy encouraged the Regents to address the need for a childcare facility on UW Seattle’s central campus. There is limited space and a long wait list for the three existing facilities. She sees the residence hall re-development as an opportunity, and termed childcare a “dire need” for students, faculty, and staff. She asked the Regents to consider the need for a childcare facility and make it a priority. ASUW Tacoma President: Ms. Jocelyn Patterson Ms. Patterson did not attend the meeting.


ASUW Bothell President: Mr. James Anderson Mr. Anderson said ASUW Bothell had a tremendous start to the school year, in terms of student involvement and student participation. ASUWB is working to create an inclusive environment during welcome week. He described the campus promenade as lively and full of activities to create a sense of community. ASUWB is working with outside organizations to promote voter registration. UWB held a successful Convocation, and Husky move-in day, with student housing at UW Bothell in high demand. Upcoming events include a lunch with ASUWB to build rapport between the student government and the student body. UW Bothell recently held a Sally Ride Conference on campus to encourage female middle school students to pursue STEM careers. Over 600 students came to campus and participated in workshops and presentations, and met an astronaut. UW Bothell welcomed neighbors to campus with a block party to introduce the community to the new Discovery Hall. ASUWB recently held a student forum to discuss the availability of parking on campus and explored alternative short term solutions. Mr. Anderson thanked the Regents for the wonderful work they do. Regent Ayer thanked the students for their leadership and said they are making a difference at the University. Alumni Association President-Elect: Dr. Jeff Rochon Dr. Diaz did not attend. In his stead, Jeff Rochon, President-Elect of the UW Alumni Association, delivered the report. Dr. Rochon said fall is an exciting time on campus. Homecoming activities encourage alumni to return to campus. The 29th annual Dawg Dash, a 5K and 10K on-campus walk and run raises funds for UW scholarships. Regents were encouraged to join the up to 4,000 people who are expected to participate. The Multicultural Alumni Partnership (MAP) 29th annual Bridging the Gap breakfast will be held on Saturday, October 25. This event offers the opportunity for the UW community to gather and recognize the importance of the University’s diversity efforts. Later that day during the Homecoming football game, UWAA will present the 2014 homecoming royalty, and award the King and Queen with scholarships. Dr. Rochon described the award-winning Viewpoints Magazine, which began publication ten years ago, as a partnership between UWAA and the Office of Minority Affairs. This publication tells stories about diversity across the campus. Its themes and topics reflect the University’s commitment to diversity and social justice. Veterans Appreciation Week, November 3-11, will include many activities. This multi-campus, interdisciplinary program, led by UWAA, includes dozens of partners and reflects the University’s deeply-held values of public service and education.


Dr. Rochon recognized Connie Kravas, Vice President for University Advancement, for her tremendous engagement and support, and Paul Rucker, Executive Director of the UWAA, for his leadership. UW Impact will conduct an advocacy training session to build an “army” of higher education advocates who are passionate about the University.

Regent Ayer announced the Board would hold two executive sessions and Regents might take action in open session following the second executive session. The first executive session would be to discuss with legal counsel representing the University litigation or potential litigation to which the University is, or is likely to become, a party, when public knowledge regarding the discussion is likely to result in an adverse legal or financial consequence to the University. The Regents reconvened in open session and Regent Ayer announced the Regents would hold an executive session to review the performance of public employees.

BOARD ACTION

Following the second executive session, the Board reconvened in open session. President Michael K. Young: Annual Evaluation and Salary Review (Agenda no. B-1) Regent Ayer reported the Board of Regents completed its annual evaluation of President Young’s performance. Regent Smith, as 2013-14 Board Chair, coordinated the process and solicited individual input from each Regent. In his absence, he asked that Regent Ayer provide a report to the Board. Regent Ayer said it was the consensus of the Regents that the University of Washington continues to perform at exceptional levels by virtually any measure and that President Young has made considerable progress in the accomplishment of his goals and objectives and his overall performance has exceeded expectations. Accordingly, Regent Ayer invited a motion to award President Young a salary increase of $50,004 per year. This is a 6.22% increase in President Young’s total compensation, bringing the total compensation to $853,508. Following the motion from the Board, he welcomed discussion and comments from Board members. MOTION: Upon the recommendation of the Chair of the Board and the motion made

by Regent Harrell, seconded by Regent Simon, the Board voted to approve


an annual salary increase of $50,004 for University President Michael K. Young. Regent Brown abstained from the vote.

DATE FOR NEXT MEETING

The next regular meeting of the Board of Regents will be held on Thursday, November 13, 2014, on campus.

ADJOURNMENT

The regular meeting was adjourned at 2:25 p.m.

VII. STANDING COMMITTEES A. Academic and Student Affairs Committee Introduction of New Leadership: Interim Dean of the College of Education For information only. BACKGROUND Provost and Executive Vice President Ana Mari Cauce appointed Professor Deborah McCutchen to the position of Interim Dean of the College of Education starting September 8, 2014. Professor McCutchen will serve as Interim Dean until a new Dean has been selected and assumes office. Her appointment was approved by the Board during the September meeting of the Academic and Student Affairs committee. BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Deborah McCutchen joined the faculty of University of Washington College of Education in 1986. She has served as associate dean for research and faculty

support since 2001. Her research focuses on the cognitive processes underlying reading and writing ability, with the goal of improving educational practice in those areas. Professor McCutchen’s recent research has been funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development to examine processes that enable children to expand their vocabulary through reading and expand their reading and writing skills.

She served in editorial roles for the journal Cognition and Instruction, Reading Research Quarterly and Educational Psychology Review. She earned her Ph.D. in cognitive psychology from the University of Pittsburgh.

VII. STANDING COMMITTEES A. Academic and Student Affairs Committee Establishing the Master of Science in Electrical Engineering in the School of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), UW Bothell RECOMMENDED ACTION It is the recommendation of the administration and the Academic and Student Affairs Committee that the Board of Regents grant authority to Graduate Faculty in the University of Washington Bothell School of Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM), Division of Engineering and Mathematics, to offer the Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE) degree program, effective Winter Quarter 2015. This will be a fee-based program offered in coordination with UW Professional and Continuing Education. The degree program will have provisional status with a review to be scheduled for the 2019-2020 academic year. At such time that continuing status is granted, a ten-year review cycle would begin. BACKGROUND In January, 2014, the Graduate School received notification of intent to plan the Master of Science in Electrical Engineering program from faculty of the School of STEM at UW Bothell. After tri-campus stakeholder comment, the faculty developed a full proposal that was reviewed by the UW Bothell Academic Council and Executive committee, with the final proposal submitted to the Graduate School in May, 2014. The Master of Science in Electrical Engineering is a 46 credit program with both thesis and non-thesis options. It will offer students the opportunity to acquire advanced skills and conceptual understanding of topics beyond the scope of a traditional Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering degree. Graduates will be able to apply these concepts directly to applications in many diverse fields, but with special emphasis towards focused areas in biomedical devices and sensors, renewable energy, and microprocessor system design and characterization. The program anticipates graduating 21 students per year at maturity. The flexible design of the MSEE program creates an opportunity for working professionals as well as traditional students to continue their education and complete a graduate degree in engineering. The program is simultaneously developing a certificate in Electrical Engineering Foundations through UW Professional and Continuing Education that will provide a pathway for students with a bachelor’s degree in a STEM discipline outside Engineering to transition into the MSEE graduate program.

In May, 2014, the Vice Provost and Dean of the Graduate School appointed two reviewers to evaluate the degree proposal. The reviewers both supported approval of the degree program. One reviewer also made specific recommendations for improving the program, to which the program responded in writing and revised the program proposal. The final proposal was reviewed and endorsed by the UW Bothell General Faculty Organization Executive Council on September 30, 2014. The Executive Council recommended that the program be forwarded to the Graduate School and to the Board of Regents for final approval. The UW Bothell Chancellor concurred with this recommendation. The Vice Provost and Dean of the Graduate School, the UW Bothell Chancellor, and the Provost have reviewed and approved the recommendation to approve the Master of Science in Electrical Engineering.

VII. STANDING COMMITTEES A. Academic and Student Affairs Committee Research at the UW: Status Report For information only. BACKGROUND Research is foundational for our future, with major impact on the region and the world. Research strongly supports our educational mission, providing experiential learning opportunities for a broad range of students. It is estimated that in FY14, external research funding provided on the order of $250M towards supporting such experiential learning opportunities for our students. In addition, faculty bring the excitement of their research into the classroom, inspiring new generations of students. The strength of the existing paradigm of the integration of research and education at the UW is evidenced by the fact that in those disciplines in which externally-funded research is common, the UW Distinguished Teaching Award winners are all strong researchers, including our own Provost. In addition, a number of our strong researchers are also nationally acclaimed educators. We have arranged for some students to share with you their perspective on how research has impacted their educational attainment. Trends in Current Research Funding The UW has a strong research funding profile. We have tripled our research funding over the last twenty years. Since 1979 with one exception (2009), the UW received more federal research funding than any other U.S. public university. Since 1969 we have placed among the top five for total funding for all public and private universities in the country. We are one of the few universities in the US with total research funding over $1B. See chart: Total Grant and Contract Awards by Year 1980-2013 FY14 was another difficult year for federal funding. Total federal funding remained flat after a 5% decrease during FY13 due to sequestration. However, the UW did remarkably well in FY14, with an estimated increase of total funding of 3-5%. It is possible to only estimate the increase due a set of caveats, as follows. The FY13 funding was artificially low due to a delay in federal awards caused by sequestration. Comparing FY13 to FY14 is misleading for this reason, as it shows an artificially large increase. Another caveat for comparisons is that in FY14 we changed our internal reporting to exclude federal and state student aid (e.g. Pell Grants, the State Need Grant) to be in line with the majority of our peers. The chart in your packet entitled Funding Trends by Originating Sponsor reports totals for each year in which the student fiscal aid has been removed, to allow for a direct comparison. This analysis nominally shows a 23% increase in research

A–4/210-14 10/9/14

funding from FY13 to FY14, but due to the FY13 funding anomalies, the effective increase is estimated to be in the 3-5% range. This chart also shows a fairly flat trend in federal funding at the UW (excluding the anomalous FY13), but an increase in other categories of funding. This trend reflects the decrease in available federal funding during this time period, and the success of researchers in seeking funding from other sponsors. Competitiveness Strength in research is based on the strength of our researchers, especially our faculty, post-docs, and students. We track our competitiveness in multiple ways. One measure of competitiveness is our federal market share. The NSF publishes total federal funding statistics, which allows us to track our national market share for federal funding. The chart entitled UW Marketshare of Federal Funding shows the trend since 1992. Our market share has stayed remarkably constant until 2010, when it started to increase. For the past 4 years we have experienced a general upward trend, underscoring our increasing competitiveness. Our estimated market share for 2014 is 3.4%, compared to an historical average of 2.8%. Another important competitiveness indicator is our ability to obtain and manage large collaborative projects. We have 284 research centers, with collaborations across 158 different departments and 139 interactions with external partners that include university, federal, state, industry, international and foundation partners. We are unable to formally benchmark this statistic as it is not tracked nationally, but anecdotal analysis suggests we are highly competitive for such projects. See chart: Faculty Collaborative Research is Strong Why is the UW competitiveness increasing? We predict this is first and foremost, a reflection of the strength of our faculty and their ability to attract top post-docs, students, and other researchers. When funding is tight, quality wins. Second, as a major public research institution, we have both strength and depth, and our breadth helps our competitiveness for projects focused on solving large complex societal problems. Finally, the UW has invested in new research facilities over the past 10 years that have not only facilitated recruitment and retention of top faculty, post-docs, and students, but have also provided modern facilities necessary to expand research activity. Expected Trends in Future Research Funding The AAAS tracks Federal R&D trends, and they have demonstrated that over the past 10 years, non-defense R&D spending has decreased in 2014 constant dollars. They predict that the future trend will be essentially flat funding for the next few

years, unless the Congress re-implements sequestration when the current agreement expires, which would result in a further decrease. See chart: Trends in Federal R&D FY1976-2015 AAAS UW Measures to Ensure Competitiveness The tight funding climate and uncertainties for the future require a proactive approach to maintain our competitive edge. The UW continues to prioritize investment in recruitment and retention of top faculty, post-docs, students, and staff, in support for collaborative research, and in development of modern research facilities. In addition, as an institution we invest in a number of ongoing programs to enhance the research environment, including decreasing the administrative burden on researchers, providing seed and bridge funds for research, and partnering with deans on recruitment and retention strategies. Summary We are investing in our future by enabling research advances that maintain our competitiveness and the strength and health of the research enterprise. Our competitiveness remains strong and research funding continues to grow in the face of a highly restricted federal funding climate.

VII. STANDING COMMITTEES A. Academic and Student Affairs Committee UW Residential Communities – Supporting Student Success For information only. BACKGROUND Housing & Food Services, a department within the Division of Student Life, functions as an auxiliary enterprise with the purpose of supporting student success. This is accomplished through a multifaceted Residential Life Program that includes leadership development, personal growth opportunities, life skills learning, and direct and indirect support for academic achievement. Providing on-campus housing and dining means we have the responsibility and opportunity to use the characteristics of community living to engage students in ways that complete their university experience. The Residential Life Program includes structured activities and services that advance student development and learning. Examples of some of these programs include academic- and lifestyle-theme housing, residential student government, tutoring services and health and wellness classes. (Additional details are provided in Attachment 1.) In addition, residential students are provided opportunities to participate in hundreds of different workshops on topics such as stress management, cultural diversity, nutrition and sustainable food sourcing. The residential experience is enhanced when the physical facilities include spaces that accommodate these programs and services. The opportunity to design new spaces that directly support efforts to engage students has been critical to achieving our Residential Life goals. Multipurpose spaces such as the Alder Commons, learning spaces such as the Chef’s Table and group study/project rooms serve as examples. The presentation will include a panel of three undergraduate students who will talk about their engagement in the residential community, highlighting three specific programs that are offered and what the experience has meant to their learning and development. Included with this agenda item are several attachments that provide more detailed information about the programmatic opportunities and the residential community amenities that support student success.

UW Residential Communities: Supporting Student Success

Residential Life Program Highlights That Support Student Success

Living-Learning Theme Communities Residential living-learning communities (LLCs) offer students a living environment that enhances their connection to a specific academic discipline or interest in an engaging social setting. Students who choose to live in an LLC have opportunities to connect with faculty, local leaders and alumnae in specific professions and are proximate to peers with similar interests, conducive to forming study and project groups. Approximately 1,700 students are involved in an LLC. Arts Community (112 students)—The Arts Community offers students a living environment with an emphasis on the visual, literary and performing arts and the interests of the residents. Through campus partnerships with UW Arts, the UW World Series and ArtsUW, Arts Community staff and students develop activities and attend art events. Business Community (104 students)—The Business Community offers students a living environment that complements their experience in the Michael G. Foster School of Business within a well-rounded and active setting. Business Community members have additional opportunities to connect with Foster School staff and faculty, business leaders and alumnae and access to academic-enrichment and career-development events. Engineering Community (354 students)—The Engineering Community offers students a living environment that enhances their connection with the UW College of Engineering in an engaged social setting. Students who choose the Engineering Community have opportunities to connect with faculty, local business leaders and alumnae in the field of engineering, and are proximate to peers with similar interests, conducive to forming study and project groups. First Year Husky Experience (262 students)—First Year Husky Experience is a new community (2014–15) developed to align with the Husky Experience Initiative. The Husky Experience is an integrated learning initiative supported across campus, designed to encourage intentional exploration of four main themes: identity, choices, relationships and trajectory. Students have opportunities to engage with faculty and staff from across campus through informal gatherings, events and workshops. Food Exploration Community (74 students)—The Food Exploration Community brings students together to explore the connections between growing, eating and learning. Activities and opportunities draw on the rich food resources of the area including the robust Dining Program offered by Housing & Food Services (HFS). Students also have opportunities to explore the UW Farm, local gardens, urban farming and the thriving Seattle food culture. The Food Exploration Community is offered in collaboration with the College of the Environment and the School of Public Health, which help students explore academic pathways related to food including proposed UW minors in food studies and in nutritional sciences.

Global Experience Community (51 students)—The Global Experience Community provides students with an opportunity to expand their knowledge of Seattle, the Pacific Northwest and the world as well as share perspectives from their own rich cultures. Students are given the opportunity to explore customs, cultures and experiences through on-campus programs, sightseeing in Seattle and a through a variety of events coordinated with campus partners like the Foundation for International Understanding Through Students (FIUTS). Honors Community (162 students)—The Honors Community is an exciting way for UW Honors Program students to enrich their experience beyond the classroom and into their living environment. Honors Community members are a diverse group with varied interests and different majors, creating community and social connections in the residence halls. Pre-Health Sciences Community (246 students)—The goal of the Pre-Health Sciences Community is to establish an atmosphere conducive to learning and to generate an appreciation of aspects of the health sciences field through contact with students, staff and faculty who are involved in various allied health science disciplines. Resident Adviser staff members coordinate pre-health science–related programs and activities with campus partners as well as social events. Substance Free Community (50 students)—The Substance Free Community provides an active, engaged living-learning environment where members choose to not use alcohol, tobacco products or illegal substances. Programs and activities in the Substance Free Community are diverse, well attended and promote personal health, wellness and a substance-free lifestyle. Sustainable Living Community (Poplar Hall, 319 students)—Located in LEED-certified and energy-efficient Poplar Hall, the Sustainability Living Community focuses on opportunities to explore environmental impact and social equity topics in a vibrant setting, which can include global issues and individual choices. In addition to social activities and personal connections promoted in all UW residences, the Sustainable Living Community focus offers theme-related events and activities featuring connections with faculty and staff from the College of the Environment. Students with an interest in sustainable living from all majors are welcome.

Student Leadership Development Leadership positions available to residential students provide opportunities to apply learning and develop competencies relevant to future success, including collaboration, communication skills, conflict resolution skills, emergency preparedness, ethical leadership development, financial management, giving and receiving feedback, goal setting, identity development, marketing your experience, motivation, networking, peer accountability, positive decision making, professionalism, self-care, networking, social justice, stress management, sustainability, team dynamics and time management. Resident Advisers (RAs)—RAs are responsible for developing meaningful individual relationships with all residents assigned to their particular communities; RAs promote community development, provide opportunities for residents to interact, plan activities and serve

as a resource. RAs enforce community standards and work to maintain an atmosphere of mutual respect conducive to studying and sleeping in their communities. Mercer Court D and E Community Assistants (CAs)—Similar to the RA description, Mercer Court CAs work exclusively with graduate students. Assistant Resident Directors (ARDs)—ARDs are experienced student staff members who assist the Resident Directors in leading and managing the RA staff, serve as the primary advisors to the Hall or Community Councils and provide support and oversight to programs and activities in their communities. Residential Community Student Association (RCSA)—RCSA is the student governing body representing all students living in the residence halls and apartments. RCSA plans campus-wide programs and activities, voices resident issues and concerns, provides both housing and dining feedback and works closely with other registered student organizations on campus. The RCSA Programming Board plans numerous large-scale, campus-wide events on a regular basis. Twenty-six programs are currently planned for autumn quarter. Residence Education Programmers (REPs)—REPs provide programs each quarter in all residential communities in the areas of health and wellness, academic success and diversity. Students Expressing Environmental Dedication (SEED)—This group focuses on sustainability issues, working to promote environmentally sound practices in the residence halls and apartments. Hall or Community Councils—Every residential community has a Hall or Community Council that provides leadership opportunities for students wishing to plan events and advocate for the needs in their communities. Peer Review Board—The Peer Review Board is a student conduct board charged with adjudicating alleged violations of the Housing Agreement and determining appropriate educational sanctions for residents determined in violation. National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH)—NRHH is an honor society representing the top one percent of student leaders living in the residence halls and apartments. The primary focus of this group is community service as well as providing recognition to those providing positive contributions to the on-campus residential communities.

Residential Amenities That Support Student Success Recognizing that educational activities and opportunities often require, or are enhanced by, facilities that can support them, our residential system includes physical spaces and programs in spaces that help our residents maximize their educational and social success.

A–5.1/210-14 10/9/14

Two Learning Resource Centers, one located on West Campus in Poplar Hall and one located on North Campus in McCarty Hall, are the most direct educational resources within our inventory of community spaces. Peer advisers and tutoring services are readily available in both locations at flexible times. Alder Hall is home to a suite of meeting rooms and a theater-style auditorium. Known as Alder Commons, the spaces are heavily used by residents for studying and working on class projects and can be reserved by individual students, student groups and faculty for events, presentations and meetings. Our Residence Life Program focuses on developing the whole student because physical and mental well-being are critical factors in student success. Fitness Center West, located in Elm Hall, offers a comprehensive range of fitness equipment and classes for residents of the residential system. Located near the fitness center are the UW Health and Wellness offices, where students can receive guidance to help them through the challenges of university life. Our new dining venues also support educational activities. Local Point, in Lander Hall, has an auditorium-seating chef’s kitchen that is used for cooking and nutrition education and events. Husky Grind is the Housing & Food Services-sponsored coffee program based in the residential dining program and includes not only a service component but an educational one as well. Workshops that focus on coffee sourcing and producing, global economics pertaining to coffee and sustainability are provided to student groups along with demonstrations on roasting and brewing. Last year, a UW industrial design class incorporated coffee preparation into its class objective, and over 20 students designed their own coffee-prep devices and implements after several visits and presentations at Husky Grind.

Additional Program Highlights Resident Engagement Meetings provide a structured approach for RAs to establish themselves as a reliable and supportive resource for their communities. At the beginning of each academic quarter, RAs are charged with meeting with each of their assigned residents to emphasize important information, check in on how they are doing academically and provide resources if necessary. With the on-campus population exceeding 7,500 students, each RA conducts on average 54 individual meetings per quarter. Early Fall Start (EFS), an elective four-week program that runs prior to autumn quarter, is designed to provide first-year students an early start to their university careers, with the majority living in the residence halls. Students have opportunities to participate in a number of classes and programs designed to support their transition to the UW. Six hundred students participated this past year.

Measurement of Use of Programs and Services, Student Satisfaction and Impact on Learning and Student Success

The hallmark of an excellent student housing program is a healthy and efficient business enterprise that functions for the purpose of supporting student success academically, personally, socially and civically. Use of Select Programs and Services • Autumn quarter 2014 opening occupancy for the residential communities is 112 percent of designed capacity* • Percentage of spring quarter residents returning to live on campus as of opening day 2014 = 41 percent • Number of visits to West Campus’ Fitness Center West during the 2013–14 academic year = 63,152 • Number of students who applied for leadership positions in the residential communities during academic year

2013–14 = 352 • Number of leadership programs and programs coordinated by Resident Advisers (RAs) for students in

residential communities during the 2013–14 academic year = 2,863 • Number of participants in leadership programs and programs coordinated by RAs for students in residential

communities during the 2013–14 academic year = 63,333 ‒ “My residence hall experience…provides a breadth of opportunities for me to engage in leadership in the residence

halls and meet a diverse community of successful students who all have unique stories to share.” Michael P., Junior Student Satisfaction • Ninety percent of students say they are satisfied overall with living in the residential communities (Autumn

Resident Survey (ARS), 2013) • Students report feeling safe in their room/apartment with a rating of 6.3 on a 7-point satisfaction scale

(Educational Benchmarking, Inc. Survey, 2014) • Students report satisfaction with their fellow residents regarding respect for individual differences

(91 percent), differences of culture (92 percent), differences of gender (92 percent) and differences of sexual orientation (87 percent) (ARS, 2013) ‒ “…living in close quarters with people of different backgrounds and interests…is an incredibly valuable experience.

It builds character and life skills, and helps you discover the kind of person you want to be.” Dylan Y., Junior Impact on Learning and Student Success • Seventy-eight percent of students in academic-based, living-learning Theme Communities report that living in

this community positively affected their academic performance (Theme Community Survey, 2013) • Eighty-two percent of students in academic-based, living-learning Theme Communities report that living in

this community provided them with useful information regarding the related academic programs at the UW (Theme Community Survey, 2013)

• Eighty-eight percent of students in the residential communities say that the staff promotes an atmosphere that is conducive to academic success (ARS, 2013)

• More than 70 percent of students participating in the conduct process report learning or understanding how their behavior impacted self and/or others in the community (Residential Life Conduct Process Survey, 2013–14) ‒ “I have been challenged to learn how to live with others, and I know that I am a better roommate and person

because of it.” Beth G., Senior * Number of students assigned to on-campus housing on 9/18/2014 = 7,870

Because the state legislature did not pass a supplemental capital budget in 2014, there are no significant additions or changes to the capital budget presented to the Regents for approval last year. There are, in essence, three views of the capital budget. The first is a Ten-Year, One Capital Plan that is meant to identify all major capital budget needs at all campuses. This Plan provides a prioritized, but somewhat fluid document that changes as circumstances or funding mechanisms become available. The second layer is the state budget, which puts forth certain projects from the One Capital Plan for state funding. Note that not all projects in the UW’s plan would be identified for state funding (in other words, not all UW projects would appear on the state budget plan). The final view, “FY15 Projects for Review” is a snapshot of the projects that we would anticipate bringing to the Board of Regents for approval in the upcoming fiscal year. Possible FY15 Projects for Upcoming Regental Review: A summary of major capital projects likely to come before the Board of Regents for review and approval in FY15 is provided below, all of which may have a component of debt funding. Note that the estimated project costs may change as more information becomes available. Per policy, major capital projects over $15 million will return to the Board of Regents for approval on an individual project basis.

Ten-Year One Capital Plan: In preparation for the 2015-17 state capital budget submission, the UW Ten-Year One Capital Plan has been updated. A comprehensive list of proposed projects identified in the One Capital Plan is provided for information in Appendix 5. The Plan summarizes major proposed capital needs, aggregate minor capital needs and key planning initiatives in the 2015-17 biennium in conjunction with identified needs over the next ten years for all UW enterprises, including UW Seattle, UW Bothell, UW Tacoma, UW Auxiliary Units (Educational Outreach, Housing and Food Services, Intercollegiate Athletics, Parking and Transportation Services), and the UW Medical Center.

Projects are presented in three categories: Fundamental, Funding Potential and Funding Opportunities. The first two categories align with potential capital funding. The last category represents additional capital needs that extend beyond capital funding expectations within the next ten years. The UW Capital Plan identifies possible fund sources for all UW capital projects including State of Washington Building Construction bonds, UW Building Account funds, UW debt, donor funds, and local funds. State appropriated capital funds continue to be critical to the UW Capital Budget. However, as the state’s ability to provide capital funding diminishes, the UW increasingly relies on other fund sources, including UW-issued debt, to finance capital projects.

• Debt capacity provides context and information to senior leaders and the Boardabout the UW’s ability to fund capital

• The debt capacity analysis is a sizing exercise, based on growth and rateassumptions. It does not imply that any particular project is able to be funded.Each project must undergo a separate due diligence process and be approved bythe Board

• The debt capacity analysis is dynamic and can change for a variety of reasons,including interest rate projections, institutional growth assumptions, borrowingplans, and peer behavior

VII. STANDING COMMITTEES B. Finance and Asset Management Committee Housing & Food Services Student Housing: Phase I, II, and III Status Update and Student Housing Master Plan Vision and Strategy Update INFORMATION The purpose of this presentation is to provide a status update of the Seattle Campus Housing & Food Services (HFS) Student Housing Phases I, II, and III, and the Student Housing Master Plan Strategy and Vision Update BACKGROUND The University of Washington has a goal of providing safe, affordable, quality housing for its students, encouraging on-campus residency. Residential on-campus housing provides a community where young scholars are immersed in a carefully structured living and learning environment with the opportunities to mature and be successful in their educational pursuits. To achieve this goal, HFS developed a comprehensive Housing Master Plan for the Seattle Campus. The plan replaces over 4,000 fifty-year old residence hall beds with new construction and adds approximately 2,300 more new beds over a ten-year period with a total project budget of $855 million. The plan, presented to the Board of Regents in March 2008, identified several crucial issues with student housing at the University. These include extensive renovation needs in the current stock of mid-20th century high-rise residence halls; the need for additional beds to alleviate the overcrowding in existing student housing facilities; and a demand for on-campus residency from upper division undergraduate and graduate students. As the master plan has been implemented, changes have been incorporated into the plan to adjust for new information and opportunities. Some of the changes include addressing the need to accommodate increased out-of-state and international enrollments, and clarifying the value of replacing instead of renovating housing. The individual projects in the master plan are sequenced to achieve three specific objectives: 1) alleviate existing overcrowding; 2) provide the surge space necessary to accommodate renovation or replacement of the existing residence halls; and 3) increase the number of new beds to respond to student demand. The phased implementation of the housing plan, in turn, provides for managing project risk through the use of off-ramps (based on expected student occupancy) at key points throughout each phase of implementation. Response to the new residence halls and apartments has been very positive. Demand for assignment to new buildings exceeds capacity, and students are

returning to live in residence for a 2nd or 3rd year at a higher percentage rate. Students assigned to new buildings report a high level of satisfaction with the facilities as well as with the recently added community amenities available to them (highest satisfaction ratings for the system).

Beginning in 2008, annual housing rate changes have included a 2% increase to support the Housing Master Plan. The need for additional increases in rates is determined through a careful analysis of projected expenses for the upcoming fiscal year. HFS aims to keep expense increases as low as possible and routinely investigates avenues for fiscal efficiencies. For the current year, housing rates were adjusted based on a dollar increase rather than an across-the-board percentage increase. This resulted in rate increases for different room types and price points that more fairly reflected true increases in costs. This approach slows escalation of more expensive room types. Thoughtful design and effective project management have resulted in construction costs comparable to other similar projects within Seattle and across PAC 12 institutions. Rates for new housing accommodations are approximately fifty percent higher than legacy buildings and are competitive when compared to like products at other PAC 12 institutions and the Seattle Market. Development in the north campus will include an investigation into designed three and four-person rooms as well as the feasibility of community bathrooms. If these options result in a diversity of lower price points, they will be implemented. MASTER PLAN CURRENT STATUS (PHASES I-III) Attachment 2 shows Phases I-III on a campus map. Phase I Phase I was completed on time and under budget. Cedar Apartments, and Poplar, Elm, and Alder Halls provided a combined total of 1,650 new student-apartment and residence hall beds within a project budget of $162 million. The first pair of buildings, Cedar Apartments and Poplar Hall, were open in Autumn Quarter 2011, less than three years after the start of pre-design. The second pair of buildings, Elm and Alder Halls, were occupied a year later at the start of Autumn Quarter 2012. Phase II


F–2/210-14 10/9/14

Phase II included Mercer Court Apartments and Lander Hall. Mercer Court Apartments were completed on time for the start of Autumn Quarter 2013, and completed on budget at $118 million. Mercer Court Apartments were designed for a capacity of 930 beds. Lander Hall was completed as planned for Winter Quarter 2014, and is designed for a capacity of 640 beds. Lander Hall is forecast to be slightly over-budget ($0.1 million) at $77.1 million, in part due to soil contamination from historic use of the site. An agreement is pending for compensation of $0.8 million from the responsible party. Phase III Phase III of the Housing Master Plan replaces 1101 Café and Terry Hall with new residence halls named Maple and Terry Halls. The combined design capacity of Maple and Terry Halls will be 1,100 beds. The project is currently under construction and forecast to complete at $123 million, $10 million below the $133 million budget. Construction continues on schedule with work started in February 2014. Occupancy of the HFS offices in Terry Hall is planned for May 2015 and student residency in Maple and Terry Halls is planned for the start of Autumn Quarter 2015. MASTER PLAN REFINEMENTS FOR NORTH CAMPUS In March 2012, the updated Student Housing Master Plan was presented to the Regents. Since that time, HFS has completed two comprehensive studies of the north campus student housing. The first study was performed by Pfeiffer Partners Architects, and completed in August 2012. The study focused on the replacement of McCarty and Haggett Halls on the current sites, a renovation of McMahon Hall, and limited work in Hansee Hall. Kieran Timberlake advanced the Pfeiffer Partner concepts and concluded its study in August 2014. The second study, the “North Campus Student Housing Study – 2014”, also recommends very limited work in Hansee Hall, the replacement of Haggett and McCarty Halls with new student residence halls and development of new residence halls on the existing tennis courts bordering Denny Field. Use of the area bordering Denny Field addresses the challenges associated with replacing the same number of beds in north campus using the current steeply sloped sites while staying within budget. We are requesting a minor plan change from the City of Seattle to clarify the Campus Master Plan (CMP) regarding the project site around Denny Field.

Three options are being considered for McMahon Hall:

1. demolish the building and retain it as a building site for housing or academic use;


F–2/210-14 10/9/14

2. partially renovate the building for student housing; or 3. convert the building for academic use or staff offices.

The proposed redevelopment of the north campus student housing will accommodate approximately 3,200 students total excluding McMahon Hall, which reflects a 350-bed increase over the current north campus capacity. In addition, the redevelopment will include student residential community spaces, landscape improvements, parking, utility, street improvements, and regional amenity spaces. Attachment 3 shows Phases IV(a) and IV(b) on a campus map. Consistent with the analysis of Lander and Terry Halls, the original plan to renovate Haggett and McCarty Halls was determined to be more expensive than constructing new buildings that will meet the desired program. Seismic, energy code and infrastructure upgrades, as well as current high-rise code requirements at Haggett Hall, demonstrated that new construction would be a more cost-effective option. Hansee Hall has been more recently renovated for improved seismic performance and is a historically significant building. The single bedroom occupancy with community bathrooms provides a valuable component within the HFS system. A limited updating of Hansee Hall appears to be the appropriate approach to this wonderful architectural building on the campus. The north campus student housing projects are proposed as two phases, Phase IV(a) and IV(b). Phase IV(a) consists of replacing McCarty Hall with two new buildings, identified as buildings C and D on Attachment 3, with occupancy planned for Autumn Quarter 2018. Phase IV(a) also includes the demolition of Haggett Hall. Phase IV(b) consists of three buildings, identified as A and B, bordering Denny Field and E on the site of Haggett Hall, with design and construction sequenced for occupancy at the start of Autumn Quarter 2020. Attachment 4 shows the current Phase IV timeline. PROJECT BUDGET AND FUNDING Phase IV(a) has an estimated budget of $165 million, escalated to the mid-point of the construction phase. Phase IV(b) has an estimated budget of $208 million, escalated to the mid-point of the construction phase. Each phase will be funded separately through a combination of HFS equity and an Internal Lending Program (ILP) loan. The ILP loan will be repaid from Housing and Dining system revenue. For each phase, the Treasury Office, in partnership with Housing and Food Services, will complete a financial due diligence to include developing a base

case proforma, identifying key risks, stress testing the proforma, and identifying mitigation strategies. In addition, the Housing Phase IV project has been prioritized on the One Capital Plan and sufficient debt capacity is available to fund it. FUTURE BOARD OF REGENTS ACTIONS Each phase will be brought to the Board separately with action items for architect selections, requests for approval of construction contracting strategy, approval of the site location, budget, and funding/financing plans. With a target date of March 2015, the budget and financing plan for the Phase IV(a): McCarty Hall Replacement and Haggett Hall Demolition Project will be brought to the Board as part of the North Campus Student Housing Redevelopment.

BACKGROUND The University of Washington has a goal of providing safe, affordable, quality housing for its students, encouraging on-campus residency. Residential on-campus housing provides a community where young scholars are immersed in a carefully structured living and learning environment with the opportunities to mature and be successful in their educational pursuits. To achieve this goal, HFS developed a comprehensive Housing Master Plan for the Seattle Campus. The plan replaces over 4,000 fifty-year old residence hall beds with new construction and adds approximately 2,300 more new beds over a ten-year period with a total project budget of $855 million. The plan was first presented to the Board in March 2008. With the completion of the new and replacement housing in west campus, the Housing Master Plan originally envisioned the renovation of McMahon, Haggett, McCarty, and Hansee Halls. Consistent with the analysis of Lander and Terry Halls, the original plan to renovate McCarty and Haggett Halls was determined to be more expensive than constructing new buildings that will meet the desired program. Seismic, energy code and infrastructure upgrades, as well as current high-rise code requirements at Haggett Hall, demonstrated that new construction would be a more cost-effective option. The north campus student housing projects are proposed over two phases, Phase IV(a) and IV(b). Phase IV(a) consists of replacing McCarty Hall with new buildings and demolishing Haggett Hall. Updates on Phase IV(b) will be presented to the Board in 2015. Phase IV(a) plans for two new buildings, identified as buildings C and D on the attachment with occupancy planned for Autumn Quarter 2018. Phase IV(a) is estimated to cost $165 million, escalated to the mid-point of the construction phase. McCarty and Haggett Halls currently have a design capacity of 620 beds and 800 beds respectively, for a total of 1,420 beds. Buildings C and D will have


F–3/210-14 10/9/14

a design capacity of 739 beds and 451 beds respectively, for a total of 1,190 beds. With a slight reduction in the number of beds available, the total number of beds available in the housing system will be maintained by providing for some triples in the West Campus housing until Phase IV(b) is completed. The demolition of Haggett Hall at the completion of buildings C and D will allow for the completion of a service road to the east to serve buildings C and D. The demolition at the end of phase IV(a) also allows HFS to manage the bed flow capacity by minimizing the change in the number of beds available for students. A new dining facility and catering kitchen are planned for Building D to replace the dining in McMahon Hall and the catering kitchen in Haggett Hall. This new dining facility will support the north campus area. The new catering kitchen in building D will serve the entire campus. Consolidating the dining facility and catering kitchen will provide long-term operating savings and improve the efficiency of the food services operation. The new buildings in the north campus will have a variety of designed room types for 2, 3, and 4 persons. The exact nature of Buildings C and D will be determined during the predesign phase. The cost-effective building design utilized in the west campus student housing will be the starting typology for design and construction, consisting of five-story wood frame construction over a two-story podium of concrete construction. ARCHITECT SELECTION The two-building HFS Student Housing: Phase IV(a) McCarty Hall Replacement and Haggett Hall Demolition Project is proposed to be designed by a single design team to take advantage of the similarities in the type of housing, landscape continuity, residential suites, and the tight site configuration. The Architectural Commission is charged with identifying the most qualified architectural firm as well as one or two alternate qualified firms that would ensure negotiations will continue in a timely manner. In July of 2013, the Capital Projects Office (CPO) advertised for firms interested in providing architectural services for the replacement of Haggett and McCarty Halls. Seventeen firms responded to the request for qualifications and the Architectural Commission interviewed four firms on September 9, 2013. The Commission recommended that the architecture firm of Kieran Timberlake


F–3/210-14 10/9/14

(Kieran) with Olin Partnership Landscape Architects (Olin) be appointed design architect and landscape architect for this project. The University proposes to contract with Kieran as the prime and Olin as a subconsultant to Kieran. The Architectural Commission recommended the team of Mahlum Architects and Gustafson Guthrie Nichol Landscape Architects as alternate in the event of an unsuccessful negotiation with the selected firm. Founded in 1984 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Kieran brings together the experience and talents of nearly 100 professionals of diverse backgrounds and abilities in a practice that is recognized worldwide. Kieran’s projects include the programming, planning, and design of new structures as well as the conservation, renovation, and transformation of existing buildings, with special expertise in education, government, arts and culture, civic, and residential projects. The firm has extensive experience in the design of market-rate housing, including five-story wood frame construction over one-story of concrete construction, and mid-rise steel construction over one (or more) story of concrete construction, which are the envisioned design approaches for this project. The firm has received over 160 design citations in the United States and abroad, including the Architecture Firm Award in 2008 from the American Institute of Architects, and the 2010 National Design Award from the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. Stephen Kieran and Laurie Olin have deep knowledge of the University of Washington, as both served on the Architectural Commission and University Landscape Advisory Committee for a number of years. CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTING STRATEGY The Capital Projects Office (CPO) recommends the use of the GC/CM alternative public works contracting procedure, as authorized by RCW 39.10 for construction of the HFS Student Housing: Phase IV(a) McCarty Hall Replacement and Haggett Hall Demolition Project. The construction contract strategy of having the contractor selected for participation in the predesign phase is expected to improve project delivery through greater involvement in project budget development (during dynamic pricing markets, the GC/CM cost estimating has been proven to be significantly more accurate than independent estimators), examination of existing conditions, assistance in developing contracting strategies for equipment procurement, and subcontractor involvement during the design phase. This collaborative approach is expected to reduce project costs and improve product quality through improved tradecraft involvement and better design and construction coordination.


F–3/210-14 10/9/14

We anticipate that the GC/CM will recommend the use of the mechanical contractor and electrical contractor/construction manager alternative subcontractor selection process. This process has been used successfully on other University projects, such as Discovery Hall at UW Bothell, and Lander, Maple and Terry Halls at Seattle. This process will enhance the collaborative design and construction process, expanding on the benefits of using the alternative public works process. CPO would commence the GC/CM selection process in October 2014, with the expectation of entering into a preconstruction services agreement with the highest scoring firm. We anticipate reporting on the selection of the GC/CM in February 2015. A construction contract will not be awarded until after the Board of Regents has reviewed the project status “off-ramp” presentation, which is planned for October 2015. PROJECT SCHEDULE HFS Student Housing: Phase IV(a) McCarty Hall Replacement and Haggett Hall Demolition Project Architect Selection October 2014 Predesign Phase October 2014 – January 2015 Design Phase January 2015 – April 2016 Construction May 2016 – July 2018 Occupancy Autumn Quarter 2018 PROJECT BUDGET AND FUNDING Housing and Food Services has funded the studies for the north campus student housing with operating reserves for a cost of approximately $900,000. Funding of the project will be phased with the predesign phase and a portion of the design phase funded from HFS reserves. That budget will be $4 million. No further spending will occur until the project budget and funding/financing plan are approved, planned for March 2015. The project cost of the HFS Student Housing: Phase IV(a) McCarty Hall Replacement and Haggett Hall Demolition Project is estimated at $165 million, escalated to the mid-point of construction for occupancy in Autumn Quarter 2018.


F–3/210-14 10/9/14

Financing for the remainder of the design and construction phases is proposed from the University’s Internal Lending Program. Repayment will be from housing and dining system revenue. The Treasury Office will complete a financial due diligence of Phase IV(a) prior to Board action for project budget and financing approval scheduled for March 2015. The financing plan will include identification of an off-ramp, anticipated for October 2015, which coincides with milestones in the design and bidding process.

VII. STANDING COMMITTEES B. Finance and Asset Management Committee Lean In Research and Student Accounting INFORMATION This is the first of a planned series of presentations showing how we are continually improving administrative work, striving for increased efficiency and effectiveness. The intent is to allow you to engage with leaders and staff who are making those changes happen. BACKGROUND Research and Student Accounting (RSA), a division of Finance and Facilities (F2), began its lean journey in January, 2010. Led by Sue Camber, the people in RSA are changing their culture by using visual management, practicing daily kaizen, aligning with strategic objectives, and standardizing the work of leaders. The results, which are impressive, include a reduction in backlogs across post-award research processes by more than 85% in all but one area. The RSA lean journey and the keys to developing their lean culture will be shared in more detail during the Regents' FAM meeting. Attached are slides which provide more background. SUE CAMBER BIOGRAPHY Sue Camber is the Associate Vice President for Research and Student Accounting (RSA). Sue received a B.A. in Business Administration from Western Washington University in 1981. She has been employed at the University of Washington since 1987 and became a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in the State of Washington in 1993. Sue is currently the Chair of the Board of the Council on Governmental Relations (COGR), an association of approximately 195 leading universities and research institutions. COGR brings a unique perspective to regulatory and cost burden and focuses on the influence of federal regulations, policies, and practices on the performance of research and other sponsored activities carried out at COGR institutions.

how did we learn lean?

• lean events targeted to improve a specific process:

• 3-day “launch” focused on improving a process using lean approaches• improvement cycle which included report-outs at 30, 60, and 90 days

following the launch

• lean events taught teams to:

• develop ambitious improvement goals (strategy deployment)• generate ideas to improve the process (daily kaizen)• visually track progress toward the goals (visual management)• status their progress with co-workers and leaders (standard follow-up)

our current experience - practicing lean daily

• dynamic, continuous, daily improvement

• experimental in nature

• visual and interactive

• driven by employee engagement and ideas

• clear goals and identification of “gap to goal”

• focused on standardizing and simplifying processes

• role of leader changed to coach and teacher

STANDING COMMITTEES Governance Committee Board Survey Results – Board Assessment and Leadership Matrix For information and discussion. BACKGROUND The Governance Committee conducted two surveys. The Assessment Survey asked Regents, and select Administrators, to provide feedback on Board performance, with an emphasis on improving the performance of the Board in the following areas:

• Board Structure and Composition • Board Meeting Preparation • Board Meeting Operations • Critical Responsibilities • Committee Performance • Other Comments and Concerns

The survey asked for replies in the form of strongly agree, agree, disagree, or don’t know. It also provided the opportunity for comments in each area surveyed. Nine of ten Regents, and three of four invited administrators, took the survey. The Governance Committee will discuss preliminary results and discuss possible next steps to bring this information to the Board, and others, to determine ways to use the information to improve future Board performance. The Skills Matrix Survey was designed to gather information about Board Members’ experience and knowledge in a variety of areas. The Governance Committee will consider this information when recommending committee, and other, appointments. The survey results may be offered to the Governor, if requested, for use in future Regent appointments. Regents were asked to indicate their knowledge, skills, and experience (as extensive, moderate, minimal, or none) in twenty-seven categories. Eight of ten Regents completed the survey. The summary matrix is attached. Attachment Board Skills Matrix

Faculty Chair’s Report to the Board of Regents October 9, 2014

Thank you, Chairman Ayer, and thank you to the Board.

I am glad that you are feeling positive about the UW, especially after hearing from these wonderful student researchers and leaders. I am pleased to say that I think that the faculty is also feeling positive. Together, we have managed and conserved our mission and values through some very difficult years and now, thanks in part to some increase in compensation and resources for teaching and research, faculty morale is pretty good and our energy is high.

I want, first, to introduce my colleague and Vice Chair of the Faculty Senate, Dr. Norm Beauchamp. He is chair of the Department of Radiology, and I am delighted to have the benefit of his knowledge and skills. In particular, he understand the School of Medicine – and so fills a gap in my own experience. We are both committed to facilitating interdisciplinary projects, thinking strategically, and to removing barriers to faculty and student collaborations among across the university and with external stakeholders and communities. Part of my job as chair of the senate is to help educate faculty about the external and internal issues that face us.

I am very pleased to learn, Regent Simon, that you have increased the membership of the Board’s Governmental Affairs Advisory Committee. As I said last month, I am committed to enhancing faculty advocacy for the faculty and for the whole UW. If we can help in your efforts to educate legislators and the public about the value of what we do here, Norm and I are eager to do so.

With respect to internal strategies, I want to give a shout out here to Senior Vice Provost Jerry Baldasty. He is managing task forces tasked with developing smart strategies on everything from enrollment management to use of classroom spaces to private/public partnerships in research and education. He is collaborative and committed to seeking the faculty’s input and perspective. We really appreciate the good work he is doing.

In closing, I’ll just emphasize two points. We have heard here today the wonderful learning that students experience when they have the opportunity to serve as TAs and RAs, and to work here on campus in work-study positions. To the extent that we are underutilizing those kinds of positions, I hope that we work hard to increase them. They are an incredible resource for both students and for faculty.

And finally, after hearing from the students here today, I want to urge you to make time later in the year to hear from some of our wonderful faculty and to learn first-hand about the marvelous, innovative teaching and research that so many are doing.

Thank you!
