Tuesday, April 28,2015

At 9:05 a.m. Chair John Horan called the Special Meeting of the Edinboro University Council of

Mr. John Horan
Mr. Rob Lowther (joined the meeting in progress during the Executive Session)
Ms. Kathy Pape (via phone)
Mr. John Pulice
Mr. Harold Shields
Mr. Ronald Steele
Mr. Timothy Wächter (joined the Executive Session via phone and then joined the meeting
in progress)
Mr. Shaquan Walker (joined the meeting in progress during the Executive Session)
In addition to President Julie Wollman, the following individuals were in attendance at the Special
Meeting:
Dr. Alan Biel, Dean - Graduate Studies and Research and Interim Dean - School of Education
Mr. Guilbert Brown, Vice President for Finance and Administration
Mr. Matthew Cettin, Director Institutional Research and Assessment
Dr. Donald Dilmore, Associate Vice President for University Libraiies
Ms. Sherri Galvin, Assistant to the President and Recording Secretary
Dr. Michael Hannan, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
Mr. Jeffrey Hileman, Director of Communications
Ms. Tina Mengine, Vice President for University Advancement
Dr. Nathan Ritchey, Dean - College o f Science and Health Professions and Vice President
for Strategic Initiatives
Mr. Eric Sheppard, Interim Associate Vice President of Financial Operations
Following the conduct of Roll Call, Chair Horan noted for the record that the proceedings of the Edinboro
University Council of Trustees meetings are recorded. Therefore, public disclosure to those in attendance
via his verbal announcement and the written public notice avoids any violation of the Pennsylvania Wire
Tapping Act. He then moved to the first order of business - Public Comment. The Chair invited comment
from the public in attendance.
Hearing no requests from members of the public to speak. Chair Horan moved to the first item of
business. Academic Affairs, and directed Provost Michael Hannan to come forward to deliver a
summary of the action before the Council. Dr. Hannan noted that there were multiple items for
review. These included:
5801
New Certificate
New Minors
Program Revisions
Addition of New Tracks/Concentrations
Moratorium Request
He stated that President Wollman recommends approval of the above programs as listed on pages
one through three of the meeting agenda. However, since the creation of the agenda, Provost
Hannan noted several adjustments. On page one under New Minors - Minor in Special Education,
this program has not yet been approved by the University-wide Cun'iculum Committee. Therefore,
this item is being removed from the agenda for Council approval and will be brought fomard for
review and approval at a Fall 2015 meeting.
Secondly, and located on page two of the agenda under the heading. Addition of New
Tracks/Concentrations, there is listed a Bachelor of Aits in Music - Music Therapy. It was
determined that rather than adding a track/concentration to the existing degree program, the
proposal is for a new degree. Bachelor of Music - Music Therapy. The new proposed degree
provides a greater level of flexibility in tenns of the number of credits that can be required in the
major. Provost Hannan stated that Music Therapy is considered a professional program in Music
and will not be limited to the 45 credit maximum true of Bachelor of Arts degree programs. He
further noted that the description summary of this program contained in previously distributed
materials remains the same.
Lastly, he noted a needed change in the name of a degree program that had been approved by the
Edinboro University Council at their March 10, 2015, business meeting. In March, the Council
approved the Master of Arts in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling as a progpram degree revision.
Since that time, the accrediting body, CACREP, has insisted that the degree name be changed from
Master of Arts in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling to the Master of Arts in Clinical
Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling. Provost Hannan reiterated that there is no
proposed change to the actual program approved by the Council at the March meeting, the new
title reflects only a name change as recommended CACREP.
Chair Horan entertained any questions of Provost Hannan and sought a motion for approval of the
following Academic Affairs recommendations of President Wollman and endorsed by Dr. Hannan.
It was voted, on motion of Trustee Pulice, seconded by Trustee Pape, to accept President
Wollman’s recommendation for approval of the following:

The motion carried with unanimous approval by the.Edinboro University Council of Trustees.
Chair Horan stated that the next order of business was the review and discussion of the Triennial
Evaluation of President Wollman. He reminded those in attendance that the conduct of a trienmal
review is broad in scope and involves a large number of stakeholders from both the internal
campus community and external community. It is truly a 360 degree look at the President and her
abilities to provide leadership of the institution and staff. Trustee Timothy Wächter served as the
chair the Triennial Evaluation Committee and was assisted by Trustees Pape and Steele. The
Chair noted that Timstee Wächter would be aniving to join the meeting in progress. In the
meantime, Chair Horan declared that the Council would adjourn to Executive Session so that
Council members could discuss the Evaluation report. The Executive session convened at 9:15
a.m. President Wollman was invited to remain for the Executive Session since there would likely
be questions to which only she could respond. Prior to the call to reconvene the public meeting,
Trustees Wächter, Lowther, and Walker arrived to join the session in progress.
At 9:55 a.m.. Chair Horan reconvened the Special Meeting, and requested Trustee Wächter to
deliver a brief summary of the triennial evaluation process, provide the committee’s
recommendation and proposed Resolution. Trustee Wächter began with a public recognition and
appreciation to staff in the Provost’s office, namely Carla Gutting, for her assistance in
coordinating all of the interviews and information gathering sessions. The Triennial Evaluation
Committee met with nearly 70 individuals - internal and external to the University, local
government leaders, parents, funders, donors, students, staff at all levels. It was agreed that
President Wollman is doing a phenomenal job. Common themes heard throughout the review
process included:
Accessibility - Dr. Wollman is accessible;
Invested - Dr. Wollman is invested; and
Impact - Dr. Wollman has made a marked impact on the region and not just the University.
5804
Trustee Wächter stated that the largest measure of impact has been the launch of Porreco College;
and in words and praises used by local leaders, the Porreco College initiative has truly been a game
changer for the region. Therefore, and in consultation with the Triennial Review Committee,
Trustee Wächter presented and read into the record the following Resolution:
