The Chair noted unanimous approvd by the Council and proceeded to the next item of business
President Wollman’s Report to the Council o f Trustees.
Since it had been a number of months since the Council last gathered for a quarterly business meeting.
President Wollman began her report noting the occurrence of a retreat for members of the Preside
Executive Council (PEC) on June 3. This retreat focused on: enrollment growth; ch^gm g the way
w X S l w L t we do to be more creative, efficient, distinctive and to empower ernployees. Some of
the suggested and more efficient business processes have already been implemented on campus.

President stated that each step in simplifying and facilitating how we do things makes a real difference
in the daily work of employees and helps in the containment of operating expenses.
Next, President Wollman noted that the Fall 2014 enrollment figures were final as of the official freeze
date of September 15 (beginning of the third week of classes). The University s FTE (full-time
equivalent) is the most important numbef, because jt is linked to the budget. FTE’s are dovm 3.4% from
last fall with about 100 fewer Students than budgeted for Fall 2014. The President stated that we will
need to redouble efforts to increase winter session, spring retention and summer session enrollments to
make up that difference. The gbod news, however, is.that for the first time since Fall of 2011, new first­
time student enrollment ismp both for undergraduátes (with FTE’s 2.4% higher than last year, almost
100 FTE’s) and,graduate enrollment up (with FTE’-s 31% higher than last fall; about 50 FTE’s).
President Wollman stressed that, while overall enrollment is down, we have turned the comer and are
now enrolling larger classes that place the University on an upward trend. In addition, workhas begun
to improve the area where tve have been least successful —retention of continuing students. The
improvement of retention efforts will be guided under the new leadership of Ms. Fm Howard who will
be more formally introduced by Provost Hannan during his report. Ms. Howard will closely work with
Assistant Vice President Chris LaRusso to make certain that the University is admitting students who
can be successful in their University studies given the opportirmty. Further, the President reported good
news relative to the student/faculty ratio. Although enrollment is significaiitly down, the lower faculty
FTE number brings the student/faculty ratio to a much more sustainable point. The student/faculty ratio
has gone from 16.5:1 for jFall 2013 to 17.7:1 for Fall 2014.
As stated in earlier presentations, enrollment at Porreco College exceeded the goal of 150 new students
by Í6%. Reports of student satisfaction have been very positive, and there is an assigned academic
advisor at Porreco College full-time to guide students in their academic pursuits. These students get the
same support enabling student success that is offered to students on the main campus.
Although Vice President Sabio will report"on this topic in greater detail during his report, housing
occupancy continues to be robust in The Highlands.
The President stated that the University continues to enjoy national accolades v^hich serve to recognize
excellence. Most recently, Edinboro University was recognized "with the G reat Colleges to Work For
designation for 2014. This is a highly sought after designation that only a small number of schools
receive. Related to that, the'University will implement the offering of Customer Experience Training
workshops beginning in October. The offering of'this workshop is in response to University enaployee
calls for assistance. Employees want to do an even better job when responding to students, families, and
external constituents as well as internal customers. President Wollman noted the workshop was
developed and would be taught by an Edinboro University faculty member who has expertise in this
area. The half-day workshop will be mandatory for every staff member and will also be open to
members of the faculty. In a paralleled manner, efforts are underway to work vfith members offhe
faculty to improve advising. This initiative relates to the receipt of an ACE CIL (American Council on
Education Change and Innovation Lab) grant through the Lumina Foundation.
Other accolades reported by the President:

HEED (Higher Education Excellence in Diversity) Award
It is a fairly new award and it is brand new for Edinboro to be recognized for diversity.

Educational Psychology and Social Work Graduate Programs
These programs were recently ranked in the Top 10 in the country.

US News & World Report
For the second year in a row recognized with a top tier ranking for Best Universities in the
Northeast.

50 Best Universities and Colleges, for homeschooled students
A new accolade is we were ranked #16 in the country among the 50 best universities and
colleges for homeschooled students. While there is a fairly small number of homeschooled
students who are looking for colleges and universities, that number is growing. Edinboro
University beat out many of the elite Ivy schools in this ranking. President Wollman reported
this is because of our close attention to student’s needs and unique heritage traditions which
make Edinboro a very special place to attend college.
President Wollman next updated members of the Council on their conditional approval in January of fee
and pricing pilot programs. At its July meeting, the PASSHE Board of Governors approved EU Council
of 'Trustees’ setting of these fees. The ART fee went into effect this fall*as well as the Innovative
Nursing program fee and change in the cost of Out-of-State tuition. The approved change in the Nursing
program fee will take effect in Fall 2015. Presently, data from the Fall 2014 sernester is being gathered,
and a thorough report will be made at the Council’s November quarterly business meeting.
Lastly, President Wollman commented on the receipt of the Edinboro’s Performance Fimdiñg results for
the past year and improvement in several categories. Out of 10 total points available; Edinboro received
6 points compared to 5 points last year. Areas where improvement was demonstrated included:
High Impact Prafctices - University went from meeting one to meeting three components ofthat
measure;

Faculty Diversity —University went from meeting neither target for female faculty to meeting
both the local and peer comparison targets; and
Student Diversity —University met the enrollment of underrepresented minority students target
that had not been met previously.
An area where the University almost met its target was on Degrees Conferred. The target was 1,630,
but the University fell two short at 1,628. Having met the.target would have garnered the University
another 14 point.
Chair Horan thanked President Wollman for her report and solicited questions. Hearing none, he moved
on to the next item - New Business and Academic Affairs report by Provost Michael Hannan.
Dr. Hannan stated that while there were no action items for the Council’s action from Academic Affairs,
he did have several informational points to report. Tab #6 in the meeting materials contained a full
written report (Attachment #3).
Provost Hannan began his report with the introduction of new staff member, Ms. Fai Howard. He asked .
her to step forward and join him at the podium. Fai comes to Edinboro from Virginia Commonwealth '
University (Richmond, Virginia) where she served as the Director of the Office of Student Services in
the College of Humanities and Sciences. Ms. Howard joined the Edinboro campus community on

5754
August 18 as the Director of Academic Success and Student Retention. In this important role she will
direct the Academic Success Center and lead our vital efforts to ensure that our students persist and
succeed. Her work will include leading the University’s Retention Committee,- ôversèeing the tutoring
services, administering the Academic Concern Referral system and redesigning the University’s
conditional enrollment programs (Edinboro Success Program and University Success Program). Ms.
Howard will also lead the Academic Success Center Coordinators in reviewing the FYE (First Year
Experience) program and working closely with newly appointed
Assistant Vice President for Enrollment Services to also redesign and ppdate the new student orientation
process that is more effective with incoming students. And, as alluded to by President Wollman in her
report, Ms. Howard is also working with President Wollman, Provost Hannan, Vice President Sabio and
local APSCUF President Dr. Jones on the ACE Change and Innovation Lab grant on ways to improve
the academic advising process at the University. A round of applause ensued welcoming her as a
member of-the campus community.
After the introduction, Dr. Hannan continued to highlight the following items from the Academic
Affairs report. These included;

Middle States
As previously reported, Edinboro University received MSCHE action letter affirming that it
continues'to meet 13 of the 14 standards. The one standard not met related to Institutional
Resources (Standard #3). As a result, the University has been placed on Warning and the
Commission has called for a monitoring report and follow-up small team visit in Spring 2015.
The purpose of the small team visit will be to evalukte evidence that the University has achieved
and can sustain compliance with Standard #3. Provost Hannan further noted that he and
President Wollman met with Dr. Elizabeth Sibolski, MSCHE President, and Dr. Christy Faison,
Edinboro’s MSCHE liaison, at headquarters in Philadelphia to discuss quality issues related to
the site team report and next steps in removing the accreditation Warning. Dr. Faison will visit
