It was voted, on motion of Trustee Dombrowski, seconded by Trustee Bow to approve the above-referencedMinutes as presented. Due to Trustees Pulice and Thomas' participation via the university bridge line, the Recording Secretary was requested to conduct a Roll Call vote for each agenda item requiring Council of Trustees' approval. Following the Roll Call vote, the Chair noted that the motion carried with the unanimous approval by the Council. The Chair then requestedthe Chair of the Presidential Evaluation Ad Hoc Committee, Trustee John Horan, to deliver an update. Trustee Horan reported a Special Meeting was held on Friday, February 19, 2010, and that the Council unanimously acceptedthe recommendation and evaluation presented by the Presidential Evaluation Committee. Subsequentto that meeting, Trustee Horan attended a meeting in Pittsburgh on March 10 with Chancellor Cavanaugh, President Brown and Council Chainnan Harold Shields to review and discuss the evaluation. The Chancellor provided his input during that meeting and expressedhis satisfaction with what he has seenand heard about progress made at Edinboro University under the leadership of President Brown. He also expressedto Chainnan Shields and Trustee Horan, the respect and high esteem that President Brown commands from other colleagues acrossthe State System. The meeting with the Chancellor went extremely well and covered a wide range of topics in addition to the presidential evaluation. Trustee Horan reported that the next step is for the recommendation to be forwarded to the Board of Governors for review and action at their meeting to be held on Thursday, April 8, 2010, along with the Council's recommendation that the President's contract be extended in accordance with the Board's. policy. Chainnan Shields solicited questions or comments from Council members. The Chair then took the opportunity to, once again, thank \ Trustee Horan and members of the Presidential Evaluation Committee (Trustees Bow and Higham) for ajob well done. He acknowledged the amount of time and effort utilized in conducting the fonnal evaluation and producing the final document. Next, the Chair called forcomment(s) from the public in attendance. He stated that the public comment period limits each person to a five minute public comment and inquired if there was anyone who cared to speak. The Chair requestedthe individual who steppedforward to state their name and affiliation for the record. The individual identified herself as Cathy Joritz, a fonner animation professor at the university.. She further stated that her contract was not renewed in 2006. Ms. Joritz presentedthree major questions for the Trustees which addressedquestions of progress toward diversity and remedy of alleged pro-male, anti-female bias within the Art Department, particularly the cinema/animation area. Chairperson Shields thanked Ms. Joritz for her comments. He invited others in attendancewho had an interest in speaking to stepforward during the Public Comment period. Noting no other requeststo speak, the Chair recognized the presenceand attendanceby the Student Government Association President, Jamie Lutz. He noted that Ms. Lutz is also a member of the PAS SHE Board of Governors and thanked her for attending the meeting. :1 . c 5388 The Chair then called on President Brown to deliver the President's Report to the Council. Dr. Brown thanked Chairperson Shields and proceededto highlight several news-worthy items. He began by noting that the Governor's proposal for the 2010-11 Budget includes the reinstatement of Key 93 funds and the renewal of stimulus monies which would certainly assistthe university with respectto the care and maintenance of facilities on campus. The good news is that PASSHE will likely seea budget which is flat. The Presidentnoted, however, concern about what will happen in 2011-12 when stimulus monies expire. He assured Trustees that the university is working to addressand develop plans for how to best generate funds to ensure that the university moves in a positive direction. The President stated forward momentum direction in terms of emollment seenon campus. In reviewing the Spring freeze file data, one can see a 5% increase in the number of undergraduate students (5,975) compared to 2009. Graduate students increased by 22% to 1,808. Overall, therefore, admissions experienced a 9% increase compared to Spring 2009. In terms of preparations for the Fall 2010 semester, President Brown noted the coining of a new catch phrase -"scary good." Current data, shows 4,210 freshman applications which is only 230 short of where admissions was for the whole of last year. Overall, freshman and transfer applications are up 14% (same time last year) or 594 applications. Freshman and transfer admits are approximately 21 % higher than this time last year. Deposits for freshman and transfer students are nearly 40% higher than this sametime last year. And, of course, he noted that if one took a look at Fall 2008 statistics, one would see 630 more deposits than the entering class for Fall 2008 (same time). President Brown reported that planning is currently underway in order to determine what needsto be done with respectto handling a projected increase in the number of students both at the undergraduateand graduate level. Predictions strongly indicate significant increases in graduate emollments. In terms of campus, it is recognized that the facilities 'are an investment in our students and our faculty. President Brown reiterated the continuing mantra of "everything that we do must reflect the excellence of the institution -the excellence of the education that we provide in the classroom." He reported on the "wall breaking" ceremony that took place early in the semesterwhich signified the start of renovations to Cooper Hall. The Presidentreported on the progress of the construction of the Human Services building which will house the Nursing program and SpeechLanguage and Hearing departments. He stated that the project is on schedule and should be completed this coming November with the projected move in scheduled for Spring 2011. Similarly he noted that faculty from Psychology and Communication and Media Studies Departments are working with the architects to design a large classroom spacein Compton Hall which would seataround 130 students. The Ross Hall renovation program is now in design phase. Plans call for the integration of the Math and Computer Science Department in that building with the university-wide technology and communications operations which will provide for significant improvements to technology and infrastructure on campus. With respectto the Mike S. Zafirovski Sports and Recreation facility (referred to as the "dome") President Brown announced that the PSAC Track and Field Championships were hosted in that facility earlier in the year. He also noted that many health and physical education classes,staff and student recreation activities, and practice sessions by athletic teams are also taking placing year-round. Tuesday evenings have been earmarked for use by area high schools for track and field practices. These sessionsgeneraterevenue for the university since they are charged a nominal fee for practice sessions. Next President Brown spoke about plans for the Foundation's PhaseII of the studenthousing project -The Highlands at Edinboro. It is anticipated that a ground breaking ceremony will be held in Mayor June with facilities available for occupancy by students in the Fall 2011. At the Porreco Center in Erie, the university has begun to offer workforce-based training programs through the Precision Manufacturing Institute (PMI). These offerings help to , 5389 meet a need that has long been recognized in northwestern Pennsylvania and assistscompanies with the hiring of workers who possessthe appropriate level of high quality training. President Brown announcedthe creation of a College Start Program at The JosephT. Buba Center in Meadville. Plans call for the enrollment of between 25-30 students for this program to begin Fall 2010. The Presidentreported on the university's continued concern for the environment and sustainability issues. This is more than a catch phrase on campus when one talks about clean and renewable energy. He was pleased,therefore, to report on the latest development -the receipt by the university of a nearly half million dollar grant for the placement of a 21 O-kilowatt solar array to be constructed atop McComb Fieldhouse. In addition to generating electricity for the university, the array will allow the university to market and sell solar renewable energy credits. The array's .21-megawatt capacity will not only generate227 megawatt hours of electricity, but also reduce carbon emissions by some 272 tons. President Brown also noted the installation and use of geothennal wells on campus which now characterizesnearly every renovation and building project underway on campus. The Cooper Hall renovation also includes a new greenhouse structure that will contribute to a living-learning environment designedto facilitate teaching and researchopportunities related to sustainability. The President stated that all of these efforts continue to demonstratea strong commitment to sustainability on campus and everything that is undertaken in the future will have a strong sustainability component. With respectto globalization efforts, the university is pleased to have hosted return visits to the Edinboro campus due to international travel by President Brown and Mr. Terrence Carlin. Recently, President Brown and Mr. Carlin hosted the visit of Dr. Alexander Abashkin, Vice Rector for International Programs at the Academy of the National Economy, under the government of Russia. During his visit, discussions took place regarding exchangeopportunities for Edinboro studentsto visit Russia and vice versa. The President stated that a summerprogram in the area of business between the Academy for National Economy and Moscow State University looks to be very promising. President Brown also reported on the recent visit of Tien-Rein Lee who is the fonner President of the Chinese Cultural University. Dr. Lee now servesas a consultant to their Board of Trustees and discussions focused on the many opportunities for international exchanges. We hope to host a group of students from Taiwan and send one of the university sports teams to Taiwan for some exhibition games. A visit by 15 students from Suwon Women's College was also hosted by Edinboro. These studentscame to improve their English language abilities and also get a flavor of what it is like to be a student at an American university. The Presidentnoted specifically that he and Mr. Carlin visited this institution some time ago on their first trip to South Korea. President Brown then commented on the university's selection to be one of four PASSHE institutions invited to participate in a live video conference with Governor Rendell. Shippensburg served as the host institution while East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Kutztown, West Chesterand the University of Pittsburgh served as viewing sites. He noted that more than 50 individuals from campus were on hand to hear the Governor's remarks and to engage in a discussion about the use of stimulus money in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. President Brown next spoke about the successesof various athletic teams. Edinboro studentathletes continued to perfonn remarkably in the classroom as well as engaging in athletic pursuits. This year's student-athlete banquet honored 163 student athletes; the highest number ever recognized. He noted that 36% of our student athletes maintained a cumulative quality point average (QPA) of3.0 or higher. President Brown reported that the following teams actually have QPA's combined of 3.0 or higher: Men's Cross-Country Women's Cross-Country Women's Soccer Women's Swimming Women's Swimming Women's Track & Field 5390 Men's and Women's Cross-Country Teams were again recognized by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross-Country Coaches Association for their excellence in the classroom. A total of 62 men's teams earned All-Academic honors with Edinboro and Northern State sharing the highest team QPA of 3.54. Individually, Edinboro has six All-American runners tying for the most by any team in the country. President Brown reporting last fall, Wheelchair Basketball Coach Jim Glatch's achievement of helping the United StatesTeam Under 23 win the World Championship in Paris, along with two Edinboro University wheelchair basketball players. He noted that Coach Glatch's successand impact while in Paris garnered us a visit to Edinboro of the French National Wheelchair Basketball Team. This international team came to campus to train with our wheelchair basketball team. The Presidentstated that Coach Glatch has also been selected as the Head Coach of the U.S. Men's Team for the 2010 World Championships in Birmingham, England (a place well known by PresidentBrown). The Wrestling Team captured its eighth straight Eastern Wrestling League (EWL) crown. Six members of the wrestling team are headed to nationals in Omaha, Nebraska. Theseinclude: Chris Birchler Pat Bradshaw Torsten Gillespie Jarrod King Eric Morrill Phil Moricone The Athletics Department anticipates that the nationals will be televised live on ESPN. President Brown noted it is terrific to seeEdinboro' s name appearing on television and being broadcast acrossthe bottom of the television screenwhen one talks about national rankings in Division I. Currently, Jarrod King is ranked #2 in his weight class, and achieved his third straight EWL title last month. Chairman Shields thanked President Brown for the excellent report and solicited any comments or questions. Next, Chairman Shields moved to new business action items -the adoption of the 2010-11 Edinboro Council of TrusteesMeeting Schedule (Attachment #1). The Chair elaborated that the study sessionshave beenutilized well over the past couple of years to discuss topics of interest in detail. There are three scheduledsessionswhich have beenplaced on the proposed schedule to coincide with some activities which will be occurring, such as the academic goals for the year and preliminary budget discussion in 2011. He noted that four quarterly business meetings and three study sessionshave beenproposed. Chairman Shields solicited a motion for approval of the proposed 2010-11 meeting schedule as presented. It was voted, on motion of Trustee Manning, seconded by Trustee Bow to approve the 2010-2011 Edinboro University Council Meeting Schedule as presented. Chairman Shields asked for any discussion. Hearing no requests,the Chair instructed the Recording Secretaryto conduct a Roll Call vote. The motion carried with unanimous approval by the Council. Chairman Shields askedthe Chair of the Academic Affairs Committee to report on their meeting and present any action items for consideration. Trustee Dombrowski stated that he and Trustee Pulice met this afternoon with Drs. Scott Baldwin, JamesBolton, Mike Hannan and Terry Smith.

Ms. Neil alsoreportedmeetingwith the CommunicationsandMarketing Committee. The following written reportwas distributedto Council members.In addition,Ms. Neil provided reporthighlightsverbally. Theseincluded: .Since the Council lastmet,the Communicationsstaffhadthe pleasureto write aboutmany campussuccesses andwill soonbe writing aboutJoshuaBow's recentaward. .Staff alsowrote aboutandhelpedto plan numerouseventsincludingthe PMI announcement at The PorrecoCenter,the Buba gift announcement in Meadville, the CooperHall wall-breakingandthe grandopeningof the Dome. 5393 .Communications staff played an important role in sending urgent news to the campus community about the accident that claimed the lives of three Edinboro students,the temporary relocation of Highlands II students,and ilie HV AC fire on the roof of Cooper Hall. .These events caught the attention of statewide media and staff were very careful to utilize the talking points created for eachincident, to ensure information given to media and campus community was not only correct, but also on message. .Thanks to Anita Joslyn, the Thistle Post (an electronic newsletter) has been revived and it has received a warm reception from faculty, staff and alumni. .The magazine, Edinboro News, is going through a transition. The new Edinboro University Magazine, as it is now called, will be in your mailboxes next week. Future issueswill include more news and stories on individuals and campus successes.Jeff Pinski, staff from the Alumni Association and University, Advancement did a splendid job providing content for this issue. Not to be left out is Ron Cox, who oversaw the production of the publication. .Over the past few months, advertising and marketing efforts lessoned a bit, in anticipation of our April campaign which is timed to coincide with our open houses. .We did, however, take advantageof several regional opportunities, such as running our commercials during the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics and obtaining prime advertising real estate in the Erie Times-News-the Thanksgiving Day wrap. Enclosed in the wrap were all of the flyers and coupons for "Black Friday" sales. There is a story behind this wrap and other promotions for the month of November. I'll give you the abridged version. One of the studentswho was killed in the car accident was prominently featured in one of our commercials and also on the wrap. We were able to immediately pull the commercial out of rotation. The wrap, however, was already printed and flyers inserted. Sensitive to the situation, the Erie Times-Newsreprinted the wrap and managementand staff worked overtime -some unpaid -to reinsert the flyers. .On a lighter note and not to be forgotten is the redesign of the Agway sign. The sign will go up once the snow melts a bit more. .The Great Commercial Contest drew over a dozen entries, and the winning commercial and three runners-up were aired by Erie's WICU-TV during the Super Bowl. Our first annual "Show Your Snow" contestreceived over 250 photos from the campus community, general public and alumni. The contest runs through mid-April. .Update on social media efforts continue to be successful. Since October, we've gained nearly 250 Twitter followers for a total of 1,340 followers. .In the last five months, the total number of YouTube video views on Edinboro University's channel increased by 12,708 to 35,200 views. Males make up 70% of our YouTube audience, and 30% of our total audience is in the 45-54 age group. The next largest age group is 35-44, at 27%. The most popular video is Ron Cox's version of an . 5394 ESPN story that featured Edinboro University along with some other prominent institutions. ..and the possibility of a plaid football field. .Edinboro gained 1,833 Facebookfans for a total of over 3,370 fans. To put it into perspective, Gannon and Mercyhurst have 4,524 fans.. .combined. Our Facebook fanbase remained about the same, with 62% of our fans being female. Of this group, 32% are between 18-24 years of age and 30% are in the 25-34 years category. .Lastly, Tartan Day will be celebrated on April 6. There will be a website, Tartan Tater Tot eating contest, Kilted Mile Run, as well as some Boro Bingo and some other exciting activities. Chairman Shields solicited any questions or comments. Hearing none, the Chair moved to the next agenda item -a report from Vice President Gordon Herbst on behalf of the Finance and Administration Committee. .Vice President Herbst reported that the Finance and Administration Committee met earlier in the day to review those items recommended for consideration and action by the Council. These materials were provided to members of the Council in advance of the meeting along with the agenda. Under New Business -Action Item~, Vice President Herbst requestedacceptanceby the Council of PresidentBrown's recommendation for the approval of Contracts and Purchasesfor the period October 1 -December 31, 2009 and January 1 -February 28, 2010. He reminded Council members that the contracts and purchase orders were listed in the encumberedamounts for the fiscal year as opposed to the payment amounts. It was voted, on motion of Trustee Dombrowski, secondedby Trustee Higham to accept President Brown's recommendation for approval of the Contracts and Purchasesas reviewed for the period October 1 through December 31,2009 and January 1 -February 28,2010. The Chair directed a Roll Call vote which yielded the motion carrying with unanimous approval by the Council. Secondly, it was voted, on motion of Trustee McGarvey, secondedby Trustee Bow to acceptthe following recommendations by President Brown for the approval of the following items which were grouped together under one motion. Theseincluded: .The University's Financial Statementsfor years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and the IndependentAuditors' Report; and November 18, 2009 -Parente Randolph Internal Control Letter; Parente Randolph recommendations; and Edinboro University's Management Responsedated November 18, 2009, be accepted by the Council. Vice President Herbst noted that the above-referenceddocuments were previously circulated to Council members under cover memorandum from President Brown dated January 11,2010. .The Resolution for University-Financed Capital Facilities project in the amount of $5.9 million (Attachment #2). Projects include the renovation of McNerney Hall to accommodatethe university's student Health Center; the renovation of Compton Hall gymnasium for a state-of-the-art 120-seatclassroom; miscellaneous Porreco Center upgrades and expanded parking; and the renovation of a vacant building at the main entrance to campus that will serve as the Welcome Center and campus Police Station. I 5395 I A Roll Call vote was talcenby the Recording Secretary. For the record, the motion carried with the unanimous approval by the Council. I Next, Vice President Herbst requestedaction on the proposed FeesSchedule for fiscal year 2010-2011. He noted that President Brown recommends adoption of the Fees Schedule as presented under cover memorandum dated March 15,2010. Prior to the vote, Trustee Thomas asked for some discussion on the matter and asked if Vice President Herbst could review and respond to the proposed increase in fees in residencehalls, meal plans and health center fees. Specifically, Trustee Thomas inquired how we are placed in terms of our sister institutions within the System. Trustee Thomas asked that the prior known fee be reviewed as well as the proposed percentageof increase for each. Mr. Herbst noted with respectto the latter (the Health Center fee) it was $80 in FY 2009-10 and the recommendation is to add $15 -raising it from $80 to $95. In so far as our sister institutions are concerned,Indiana University and at least three other universities have fees that are greaterthan the figure in front of the Council. He recalled that Indiana was in the $110-120 range per semester. With respectto ResidenceHall fees the proposal was for $100 increase or 4%; he noted that it was difficult to answer that question in respectto how the other universities fare because,like Edinboro University, our sister institutions have a mix of university-owned as well as privatized housing options available to the students. Edinboro University falls within the low range if fees charged were averagedall together. Our universityowned housing is higher in some casesand lower in other casesthan other PASSHE institutions. Trustee Thomas inquired if Edinboro was competitive. Vice President Herbst responded in the affirmative since based on preliminary and current emollment projections we look to improve the number of incoming students over last year. As the amount of studentsincrease in the residence halls to the level that they were in the early 1990's, the Council could possibly review a future proposal which does not call for a raise in the fees structure becausethere will be more students to sharethe cost of debt service on Dearborn and Earp Halls. Trustee Thomas inquired about the percentageof capacity at the presenttime. By residencehall, the range is between 96% in the Highlands to roughly 90-94% in the traditional residence halls. Rose Hall has the highest percentageand Dearborn had the least at 90%. Chairperson Shields solicited additional comments, questions, or concerns. Trustee Horan noted for Trustee Thomas' edification the Finance and Administration Committee members asked the samequestions of Vice President Herbst in the earlier Committee meeting. He stated the Committee's concern, of course, is that this is the one area where the Council has some say in terms of what the costs/chargeswill be in terms of the education we provide here so we are extremely concerned that we remain competitive. Trustee Horan believes that part of our messageis that we are not only higher education, higher quality education -but affordable education. Trustee Horan further stated that Committee members are extremely concerned about that aspectand Vice President Herbst has provided all Committee members with information that he will share with Trustee Thomas showing our peer institutional data and where Edinboro stands on eachone of those fees that is currently being charged to students. He also noted that Edinboro stands in the aggregate when compared with sister institutions. Trustee Horan stated that he is satisfied that we are keeping it as tight as we can. Vice President Herbst has also shared with the Council the expenseside of the equation, and not to speak for him, but Trustee Horan believes that Vice President Herbst has been somewhatconservative. Vice President Herbst also noted in the meeting materials, the introduction of meal plans that provide more selection to students. These additional options, therefore, actually lower the total price by $300-400 for studentswho elect the 60-block meal plan and reside in the residencehall. Therefore, Mr. Herbst noted some balance between the room rate combined with the bargain in meal selections available. The memorandum dated March 15 from President Brown discussedthe following proposed fees in which an increase was recommended. These included: I 5396 Residence Halls -a $100 per semesterincrease (4%) in the double room rate in the residence halls. Operating and maintenance costs have risen due to contractual obligations. The fee increase will provide funds to balance the residence hall budget. The 2009-10 room rates for the Highlands at Edinboro are being reviewed by the Edinboro University Foundation. While those rates have not yet been fmalized, I am anticipating a 4% increase or a total of$100 per semester. Meal Fees -a 2% increasein semestermeal fees initiated through the consumer price index and stipulated within the university's dining services contract. It should be noted that several new meal plan options will be available to increasethe selection and help reduce the cost to our students. Among these are plans for as little as $460 (block of 60 meals). Health Center Fee -a $15 per semesterincrease in the student health fee. The increase will be used to support the increasescosts of operation for the health center. Fees and Fines -a $25 increase in "moving violation" fine and a $25 increase in vehicle "booting fee," all in accordancewith Board of Governors Policy 1985-02-A: Operation of Motor Vehicles on State Systemof Higher Education Facilities. Lastly Council members were advised that the Student Government Association initiated a 2.3% increase in the Student Activity Fee based on the consumerprice index. Chairperson Shields noted that this matter is a cost versesvalue situation. If one believes that they are getting value for the amount of money they.are being charged, the university will stay competitive. He noted that the administration and Council will be under more and more pressure as we enter the next couple of years in terms of cost and revenue comparisons. The Chair shared that as a newly appointed member to the PASSHE Board of Governors that he has taken the opportunity in the past two months to visit eachof the other 13 universities in the State System. The visits were interesting and informative. Although he would not identify the specific institution, he informed the Council that one university charges$925 in student fees which he would personally view as a tremendous burden to carry on students. Following these discussions, it was voted, on motion of Trustee McGarvey, secondedby Trustees Higham and Manning to accept President Brown's recommendation for the adoption of the proposed Fees Schedule for fiscal year 2010-2011 as presented (Attachment #3). The motion carried with the unanimous approval by the Council following a Roll Call vote by the Recording Secretary.
