Next, Chairperson Shields verified that a quorum was present and then moved to the first item of
action, Old Business-Minutes from the March 15 meeting. The Chair solicited concerns, comments,
corrections or additions. Hearing none, the Chair entertained a motion for approval of the Minutes from
the March 15, 2010, meeting. It was voted, on motion of Trustee Dombrowski, secondedby Trustee
Pulice to approve the above-referencedMinutes as presented. The motion carried with the unanimous
approval by the Council.
The Chair called for comment(s) from the public in attendanceand inquired if anyone
cared to speak. He noted that it is the Council's pr~ctice to allow any person(s) seeking to deliver
comments to the Council an allotted time period of five minutes each. Chairperson Shields
recognized the public comment speakerand asked her to state her name. The individual who
steppedforward identified herself as Cathy Joritz, a former animation professor at the university.
She inquired if she was permitted to go over the five minute limit. The Chair stated that would
not be possible and, for the record stated that it was 6:09 p.m. Ms. Joritz stated that for the sake
of the newly appointed Trustee, Dennis Frampton, that she wanted to reiterate several of the
questions posed to Council members at the last public Council of Trustees meeting. These

included:
.What

has been done to remedy the pro-male, anti-female bias in the animation

area?
.Since there are no women faculty members in the cinema/animation area, what are
the Trustees doing to ensure that the area does not foster general discrimination
and the creation of sexually offensive material?
.Asked
that the Trustees do something to ensure that SGA funds were distributed
equally among male and female students.
Ms. Joritz also presentedtwo new areasof concern. She noted the following:
.Because the university will be hosting the 2010 Annual Disabilities Conference in
August, Ms. Joritz revisited her requestmade to the administration back in 2005 or
2006. She recalled that the buttons in the elevators located in Doucette Hall are
too high for wheelchair-bound studentsto operate. Therefore, wheelchair-bound
students sit in their chairs for lengthy periods of time either trapped inside the
elevator or outside waiting for other individuals/professors to assistthem. She also
feels that the upcoming conference should be renamed the "Specially-abled"
Conference for Students.
.Lastly,
Ms. Joritz asked if the Council minutes from the last meeting were posted
online. Chairman Shields respondedin the negative. Ms. Joritz requestedthe
university to do so as quickly as possible.
Chairperson Shields thanked Ms. Joritz for her comments. He invited others in attendanceto
deliver their comments during the Public Comment period. The Chair recognized the next
speaker, Felix "Chip" Folletti, who stated that he was a representative from the Greater

.
5410
Pennsylvania Regional Council of Carpenters. Mr. Folletti utilized his time to addressthe
Council about alleged code violations, perceived liability and financial issuesassociatedwith the
construction of Phase1 of the studenthousing project. Also, on behalf of the union, he also
expressedconcerns and dissatisfaction with regard to the awarding of bids related to Phase2 of
The Highlands at Edinboro studenthousing project.
The Chair thanked Mr. Folletti for his comments and then solicited additional public comment(s).
Noting no other requeststo speak, Chairperson Shields closed the public comment period.
Prior to proceeding to the President's Report, the Chair introduced to the public Mr. Dennis
Frampton, the newest member of the Edinboro University Council of Trustees, who was
appointed by Governor Rendell and confirmed by the Senate. He noted Mr. Frampton is known
by many as a long.:time supporter of Edinboro University; a graduate ofEdinboro; member of the
Crawford County community for many, many years; and as past President of the Foundation. The
Chair noted his dedicated work with the Foundation including The Highlands studenthousing
project. Mr. Frampton is currently President ofC&J Industries in Meadville, Pennsylvania and
his accomplishments are many. Therefore, and on behalf of the Council of Trustees, Chairman
Shields extended a warm welcome. A round of applausewas extended to Mr. Frampton.
Mr. Frampton was then invited to say a few words. He talked about his first experience at the
university which was in the capacity as an autumn scholar. His academic careerwas launched in
his late 30's while working full-time. Mr. Frampton spoke about his last ten years of service and
work with the Foundation which will be coming to a close in October. He stated that he looks
forward to his work with the Council and university which has been very enjoyable and fulfilling.
The Chair then called on President Brown to deliver the President's Report to the Council.
Dr. Brown thanked Chairperson Shields and proceededto provide the following highlights and
updates:
/

\

.Budget
-The Presidentnoted times of uncertainty when one speaks about the
budget; however, there is a senseof anticipation in terms of the state appropriation
and its inclusion of performance funding. Salaries and benefits are a significant
component of this equation and represent about 81% of the budget distribution.
The university hopes to achieve some savings by not filling vacant job positions
while at the sametime preserving the academic integrity of the institution. He
noted that being fiscally prudent in the past, coupled with a significant increase in
enrollment, have enabled the university to maintain operations without instituting
drastic or Draconian measures. Therefore, the enrollment growth and the
reputation of the university is helping us do well in very difficult times.
.Enrollments
-Last meeting, President Brown referred to a newly coined term
"scary good" which he noted gets "scarier" every day. He noted that there are
over 300 applications over the whole of last year at this point in time.
Applications are 9% higher than last year. At this time, the freshmen and transfer
admits are over 11% higher than this time last year. Deposits for freshmen and
transfer studentsare 17% aheadof last year and about 42% over the Fall 2008.
When one reviews the increase,we compare favorably with other schools within
the State Systemand seemto be well aheadof our sister institutions in terms of
their growth. The President stated that there is a trend in the number of students
registering early; about 800 studentswho have registered over this time last year
which is about an 11% increase. This increase allows the university to plan more
effectively.

5411
.Academics
-The Masters of Education program has, once again, been cited by
US. News & World Report magazine for being one of the nation's largest online
graduateprograms. Edinboro is currently ranked 14thin the top 25 and shows
even greaterapproval of the studentscoming into the program.
.Fundraising
-A detailed report will be provided later in the meeting. 'The
Presidentnoted the news is good, however.
.Personnel
Issues -The searchfor the Dean of Education will be reopened
starting this fall. A searchcommittee has beenformed and an advertisement
running for a new Director of Admissions. Lastly, President Brown introduced to
the Council Dr. Philip Ginnetti, Dean of the Beeghly College of Education at
Youngstown State University, who has been selectedto serve as the university's
next Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs effective July 1,2010. Dr.
Ginnetti was askedto stand and received a round of applause.
.Campus
Growth -':"ThePresidentnoted that campus growth is an extension of
excellence in everything that we do. The Human Services Building is on schedule
to be completed in November with classesslated to begin Spring semester2011.
Phase2 of the studenthousing project, The Highlands at Edinboro University, has

begun.
.Partnerships
-The university is continuing discussions with the Precision
Manufacturing Institute (PMI) and will be offering some PMI-like programs to the
general public at the Porreco campus this fall. It is hoped to grow substantially the
number of studentswho are taking courses in the technical areas at the Porreco
.Center. With respectto Town/Gown partnerships, the Presidentpointed to the
Edinboro Growth Initiative which is basically a group of individuals from town
who have assembledto create a strategic plan to develop the downtown area and
bring growth to Edinboro. President Brown noted with the pleasurethe receipt by
Edinboro as a Route 6N Heritage Community designation. The designation links
Edinboro with vital communities acrossthe 400-mile of U.S. Route 6 that crosses
Pennsylvania's northern tier which he believes will greatly enhancethe local
economic development in the area.
.International
Visits -As the result of recent international visits overseas,the
university is pleasedto host six Korean nursing studentswho started their degree
programs on June 7. These studentswill be pursuing a Bachelor of Science Nursing degree in our new program. The university recently received a visit from
a representativelocated in Shanghai, China, who is helping us establish
partnerships in that part of the world. The Presidentnoted that there are language
and culture groups scheduledto visit Edinboro this summer.

King, two-time All-American, has also beennamed to the 2010 ESPN The
Magazine University Division Academic All-America Men's At-Large Team for
the second straight year. Without even playing its first game of the season,the
President proudly reported that the Fighting Scots Football team is ranked 9thin
the 2010 Sporting News Division II Top 25 and picked 24thaccording to Lindy's
Sports Annuals Division II poll.
.Miscellaneous
News -The Presidentnoted that for the second consecutive year,
the university has been named a "Military Friendly School" by G.1 Jobs. These
annual rankings honor the top 15% of colleges, universities, and trade schools
doing the most to recruit and retain America's veterans as students. A wonderful
event was held last week which servedto beautify the campus where faculty and
staffwere in charge of pre-identified. areas for the planting of perennials and
annual flowers. The university also recently served host to the Bioethics
Conference with nearly 250 attendees;some from as far as Bolvia and South
America. The sponsorship of free outdoor movies during the summer months has
continued with films offered at the Porreco campus on Thursday evening and main
campus on Friday. The Presidentnoted plans are underway to hold a Legislative
Breakfast on August 2.

.

Chairman Shields thanked President Brown for the excellent report and solicited any comments or
questions. Next, the Chair asked Trustees Dombrowski and McGarvey to join him for a
presentation. The Chair noted the mourning by all with regard to the passing of President
Brown's mother a brief time ago and appropriatenessby the Trustees to help in support of the
scholarship established in her memory. They ceremonially presentedto President Brown a check
in the amount of $1,425 which representeda collective contribution by Council members in
support of the recently establishedBarbara Curbishley Memorial Scholarship. President Brown
noted his profound appreciation for this gesture of kindness in memory of his mother. A round of
applause ensuedfollowing the check presentation.
Next, Chairman Shields moved to New Business. He noted that the annual review of the
facilities took place today. The Trustees along with Vice President Herbst and Mr. William
Coleman visited Compton Hall and the new Human ServicesBuilding as part of the review. A
new format was utilized where a review of the Facilities Master Plan was undertaken prior to the
tour; thus, allowing Trustees a better understanding of the plan and its implementation.
The Chair next moved on to the next item of businessAcademic Affairs Committee
report. Trustee Dombrowski reported that following the meeting with the Academic Affairs
Committee, and based upon the recommendation of PresidentBrown, he brought forward two
motions:
It was voted, on motion of Trustee Dombrowski, secondedby Trustee Pulice to approve a
new program, Minor in Geographic Information Systemsas presented. The Chair called
for any discussion and then called for the vote.

Chairman Shields asked for any discussion. Hearing no requests,the Chair called for the vote.
Both motions a~presentedby Trustee Dombrowski carried with unanimous approval by the
Council. Trustee Dombrowski then called on Dr. Terry Smith, Dean of Liberal Arts, to provide a
brief committee report. Dr. Smith noted the distribution of a written Academic Affairs report
which contains a wealth of information. He instead highlighted approaching events.
.Bioethics
Conference -Dr. Smith extended deep appreciation and thanks to the
University Advancement office for sponsoring this conference. He noted that this
conference was very significant as was the opportunity to hear well-known lecturers and
authors. .Most notably was the format of the conferencewhere participants were permitted
to interact with the presenterand others who provided for an enriching interdisciplinary

experience.

.Collaboration
-Dr. Smith noted the recent publication of an article in Erie Times-News
talking about the collaboration that PASSHE is creating for program~including Physics
and Foreign Languages. He then elaborated on university efforts on this topic. Edinboro
has been one of the innovators and since 2003 have been collaborating with Slippery Rock
and Clarion in the delivery of Russian and German coursesto one another utilizing
interactive television as the medium for delivery. One of the advantageswith
collaborating with our PASSHE neighbors is that our faculty are able to travel to the other
campus to meet students and faculty and vice versa which createsa face-to-face
relationship betweenthe students and faculty even though distance education technology
is being used. In 2007, California University was added as a collaborative partner and
now other parts of PASSHE are reviewing this model. We are also looking at a similar
concept with regard to offering physics courses. Meetings have recently taken place with
officials at Slippery Rock to discuss the collaborative delivery of physics courses. A
tentative plan has been developed for the offering of these courses in the Fall 2011 and is
pending a lengthy approval process at both campuses. These and like partnerships prove
to be not only cost effective, but also raise the quality of the program offering.
.Accreditation
Visits -Dean Smith reported that the Mathematics and Computer Science
Department is expecting a visiting from the Accreditation Board for Engineering and
Technology (ABET) in September. The accreditation review team will be reviewIng the
university's theoretical track in computer science.

.5414

I
.Graduate
Studies and Center for Distance Learning -These offices have been
manually converting all 534 online courses from the ECollege format to the Desire2Learn
(D2L) format that will be used to deliver online courses. This processwill create a
superior product and save the university about $200,000.
.School
of Education -A reception is being sponsored on June 16 in recognition of the
professional development schools that have beencreated in consultation with the Erie
School District and PenncrestSchool District. About 150 teachersand principals are
involved in these collaborations which are done to the mutual benefit of Edinboro and of
the school districts. Edinboro delivers workshops that are chosen by the faculty and
principals at the various schools. Those schools provide us with field and studentteaching
placements. Edinboro students volunteer at those schools tutoring, and some of those
schools bring their middle school studentsto campus to find out what it would be like to
attend Edinboro which helps to create an early opportunity for them to make the right
choice to attend Edinboro for their college education. Dr. Bolton invites all Council
members to attend this event.

Chairman Shields thanked Dr. Smith for his delivery of an informative report and solicited any
questions or comments.
For the record, the following Academic Affairs-related items were provided to Council
members for their information and review. Theseincluded:

0 Two departmentshave been merged (Career Development and Adult Student
Services)and is now referred to as Career Services and Adult Student
Services.

STUDENT DEVELOPMENT ISTUDENT ACTIVITIES
.Dr.

Sablo has worked throughout the course of the semesterwith the Student Life
sub-committee of the Senatewhere 'a study was conducted to explore whether or
not first semesterfreshman pledging had any impact on freshman grade point
averages(GPAs). A five-year review offraternity/sorority GPAs showed a
significant disparity between first semesterfreshman new initiate GPAs and upper
division Greek GPAs. This difference was most noticeable in male initiates.
Although the GPA disparity could not be attributed solely to pledging/intake,
recommendationshave been made to President Brown that will provide increased
support and, if necessary,punitive actions for organizations with substandard
neophyte GPAs. The approved changeswill be incorporated into the Greek
Relationship Statementthat is being drafted to further define the relationship
betweenthe university and its national fraternities and sororities.
.In
an effort to provide additional late night events for students, Interim Vice
President Sablo announcedthe hiring of Mr. Dave Goodwill to the Campus Life
and Leadership Development staff. Mr. Goodwill comes to us from Penn State Shenango,where he worked in the activities office. This hire is significant as all
new employees in campus life are being hired to work evening shifts. In this
division, Dr. Sablo is challenging the premise of the 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. work
day, and working hard to ensure that staff are available in the evenings when our
studentsare more readily available for co-curricular experiences.
.The
ROTC program recently commissioned four cadets at the rank of Second
Lieutenants in the U.S. Army. The keynote speakerat the ceremony was U.S.
Army Major General Mari K. Eder, an Edinboro University alumna.
.In
support of student development for the StudentAffairs division's essential
studentemployees, ResidenceLife and Campus Life staff will be hosting ajoint
leadershiptraining weekend for studentworkers to instruct them on leadership
principles, professionalism, diversity and other essential human relations skills.
For some of our more visible student employment positions (RAs, Pogue Center
workers, etc.,) we are raising the bar with our training programs to assist them with
their professional life after Edinboro and to insure that the university is well
representedwith its first line studentworkers.
.Also
in support of leadership development, we will again certify our Universal
Challenge high and low ROPES course so that departmentsand student groups can
engagein the confidence and team building exercises, such as traversing 40 feet in
the air from a zip line.
.New
student orientation continues to be a university-wide collaborative effort.
This year the process has been changed. Currently, we are tracking approximately
400 orientation reservations aheadof last year, which is consistent with increased
housing contract requests. It has also beennoted in the housing requests that there
are an increasing number of commuter and community college transfer students
seeking on campus accommodations. We attribute this growth to increased

Lastly, Vice President Herbst provided an update from the University Services, Inc. (USI)
Board of Directors meeting held on May 18. Theseincluded:
Bookstore Updates Point of Sales System -The update has been completed without
i~cident. As previously reported, advantagesto this upgradeare:
1. Each register will be both a cash register as well as a PC;
2. There is a more stable credit card processing function allowing for faster
transactions; and
3. A more stable student financial aid interface and the ability of adding a gift
card component to the system as well as acceptanceof debit card transactions

with a PIN.
Adoption of the 2010/2011 Operating Budget -The 2010/2011 Operating Budget was
adopted with no changes.
New USI Scholarship/Grant -The Board is considering the establishmentof a new
scholarship aimed at students who cannot get sufficient financial aid or loans or those who
are not able to secure scholarships.
Chairman Shields solicited any comments and/or questions of Vice PresidentHerbst. Next,
Chairman Shields called on Interim Vice President Kahan Sablo to provide a report on behalf of
the Student Affairs Committee. Dr. Sablo sharedthe following highlights from his respective
area of responsibility which included:

DIVISIONAL PLANNING/REORGANIZATION
.Last
week Interim Vice President Sablo attended a conference on learning outcomes
assessmentin student affairs. Currently the StudentAffairs division is reviewing its
mission statementwith intentions on presenting revised divisional goals/objectives,
and accompanying learning outcomes, at the StudentAffairs divisional retreat in
August.
.As

we plan for the future, the division of StudentAffairs continues to be reviewed for
organizational effectiveness. Recentreorganizations this past semesterhave moved to
realigned various departmentsas follows:
0

Residence Life and Orientation now consists of the Office of Student Judicial
Affairs, New Student Orientation, and ResidenceLife and Housing.
