APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE ANNUAL MEETING OF JUNE 20, 1990
Rector Dragas called the meeting to order and asked for approval of the minutes of the annual meeting of June 20, 1990. Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the minutes were approved as distributed.
PRESIDENT'S REPORT
The Rector called on President Koch for his report. President Koch welcomed the Board members to the Virginia Beach Graduate Center. He explained the reasons for having the meeting at this location as follows:
(1) To increase the University's visibility throughout Hampton Roads. Virginia Beach was chosen as the first off-campus location since it is the largest city in the area.
(2) To showcase the technology at the graduate center. At last evening's reception the board members had the chance to see televised instruction and interactive capabilities in action.
(3) To emphasize Old Dominion University's partnership with Norfolk State University. The graduate center is a good example of two universities working in concert, instead of in competition, with one another.
President Koch indicated that the graduate center has grown considerably since it opened two years ago. Old Dominion's graduate enrollment growth is due in large part to the center's enrollment. Thirty-five classrooms now exist and the center has expanded to a second floor of the building. Funds for the expansion were given to the University from the State during the last session, but have since been cut because of budget reductions. However, the University remains bound by its lease to pay the rent. The administration hopes to receive funds from the State during the short session to alleviate this problem.
The President indicated that, with the Board's approval, future board meetings will be held at other off-campus locations - the Peninsula Graduate Engineering Center, for example - and in academic buildings and laboratories throughout campus.
President Koch reported that the search for the Dean of the College of Business and Public Administration is underway. A search committee, consisting of faculty and one external member, has been appointed. Bucky Gornto has agreed to serve as the external member of the committee. The committee is considering the use of an outside search firm. The trend in recent years has been to hire a dean from the business community and not necessarily from academe. A search firm would be beneficial if the University wants to follow that trend. The search will remain confidential.
The President indicated that ODU's enrollment is the highest in its history, largely because of the graduate center. 16,500 students are now currently enrolled at the University.
President Koch reported that Governor Wilder approved the 3 percent mid-year tuition increase, which the Board approved in August. On December 1 faculty salaries will be reduced by two percent. Faculty will first receive their .9 percent raise promised during the 1990 session, but will then have their salaries reduced by two percent, netting an actual reduction of 1.1 percent.
The President summarized the major features of the statewide budget reduction as follows:
(1) Total shortfall of $1.3 billion;
(2) Agency reductions of $981.6 million;
(3) Compensation reductions of 2 percent for all state employees effective December 1, 1990;
(4) Education contributed 47.7 percent of the budget cuts, but only uses 41.3 percent of the budget;
(5) Reductions in higher education budgets total $238.8 million;
(6) Six institutions, including the Virginia Community College System, received approval for a tuition surcharge to assist in meeting reduction targets; and
(7) The average reduction at doctoral institutions was 11.4 percent; Old Dominion's reduction was 11.2 percent.
President Koch reported that Dick Barry's father passed away. Captain Barry was not only a prominent and respected citizen but was a member of ODU's faculty for 25 years.
The President called on Ms. Tara Overton, Student Body President, for remarks. Ms. Overton reported that Secretary Dyke met with Virginia student body presidents yesterday at James Madison University. Topics discussed included the recent budget cuts and the issue of campus civility. One of the Senate vice presidents represented her at the meeting. Secretary Dyke was told that the students at Old Dominion support the budget reductions and the tuition increase, but would be opposed to any further tuition increases. Those who attended concluded that the session was very beneficial.
REPORTS OF STANDING COMMITTEES
DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
The Rector called on Mr. Price to report on behalf of the Development Committee. Mr. Price, who presided at the meeting in the chairman's absence, reported that the Committee honored Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Constant for their contribution of an endowment gift commitment to support twelve Theodore F. and Constance C. Constant Dominion Scholars.
Mr. Doug Smith reviewed the status of the 1990 annual fund campaign to date. The campaign has reached over 80 percent of its goal and volunteers are now involved in the cleanup effort.
The Committee discussed its role and how that role will change. Emphasis will be shifted to fund raising and the Committee will begin working much more closely with the Educational Foundation.
ACADEMIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
The Rector called on Dr. Gene Carter for the report of the Academic Affairs Committee. Dr. Carter reported that the Committee discussed the agenda planning overview for the year.
Ruth Jones, Director of Affirmative Action and Equal Employment Opportunity, briefed the Committee on the University's affirmative action plans for 1990-94. The University has three separate plans for the recruitment and retention of black faculty, the recruitment and retention of black students, and the recruitment and retention of staff, including women and other minorities.
Ms. Jones discussed the goals established for Old Dominion University up to the year 1994, and the strategies for enhancing the recruitment and retention of black faculty. A goal of 32 black faculty has been set for 1990-91; presently there are 28 black faculty members. She also briefed the Committee on how the budget cuts affected the numbers of minority faculty and staff.
Dr. Henry provided the Committee with a status report on the University's reaccreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). One of the things that SACS asks the University to do in preparation for the accreditation visit is to demonstrate institutional effectiveness through self-evaluation.
The following resolutions were brought forth as recommendations from the Committee and were unanimously approved:

REVISION TO THE BOARD OF VISITORS POLICIES
AND PROCEDURES ON TENURE
RESOLVED, that upon the recommendation of the Academic Affairs Committee, the Board of Visitors approves the revision to Section III. A. and III. D. of the Policies and Procedures on Tenure, approved by the Board of Visitors on June 12, 1980 and revised on February 24, 1984; November 19, 1987 and December 13, 1988. The changes are effective immediately. The recommended changes are listed as follows:
III. A. (After Revisions)
The probationary period begins with the initial full-time, tenure track appointment at Old Dominion University at the rank of instructor, assistant professor, associate professor, or full professor; only time spent in a tenure-track position at one of these ranks is counted as part of the probationary period.
Subject to agreement by the University and the faculty member, any academic year in which the faculty member was on a full-time tenure track appointment in one of these ranks for at least one semester, may be counted as one year of the probationary period.
III. A. (Before Revisions)
The probationary period begins with the initial full-time appointment to the rank of instructor, assistant professor, associate professor, or full professor; only time spent in these ranks (or in the rank of visiting professor, visiting associate professor, or visiting assistant professor) is counted as part of the probationary period. Any academic year in which a faculty member was on full-time appointment in one of these ranks for one semester or more is counted as one year of the probationary period, except for certain cases of appointment as instructor, as noted in Section B.1.a. of the policy on academic rank.
Rationale: III. A.
The current policy disadvantages faculty who have served in non-tenure track positions, especially instructors, and subsequently enter the tenure track. Presently each of their years of service must be counted as part of the probationary period even though their responsibilities may be very different from those of tenure track faculty. With the new language, the probationary period begins with a tenure-track appointment, giving faculty additional time to meet tenure requirements.
III. D.1. (After Revisions)
The length of the probationary period may be reduced in any of the following instances:
1. A faculty member who has had full-time teaching experience at the rank of instructor or above at another collegiate institution; or has had full time teaching experience in a non-tenure track position at Old Dominion University; or who has had full-time teaching experience at the rank of instructor or above at Old Dominion University prior to a break in service; may have the probationary period reduced by one or two years. If the probationary period is to be reduced, the reduction must be recommended by the chair and dean and approved by the vice president for academic affairs at the time of the initial appointment. Unless such a reduction has been approved and the faculty member has been so notified in writing at the time of initial appointment, reduction for prior service will not be granted. The changes in the provisions of this paragraph as compared to the Faculty Handbook of 1978-79 will not apply to faculty members whose initial contract was offered prior to June 15, 1980.
III. D.1. (Before Revisions)
The length of the probationary period may be reduced in any of the following instances:
1. A faculty member who has full-time teaching experience at the rank of instructor or above at another collegiate institution, or at Old Dominion University prior to a break in service, may have the probationary period reduced by either one or two years. If the probationary period is to be reduced, the reduction must be recommended by the chair and dean and approved by the vice president for academic affairs at the time of the initial appointment. Unless such a reduction has been approved and the faculty member has been so notified in writing at the time of initial appointment, reduction for prior service will not be granted. The changes in the provisions of this paragraph as compared to the Faculty Handbook of 1978-79 will not apply to faculty members whose initial contract was offered prior to June 15, 1980.
Rationale: III.D.1.
There are three situations in which faculty may wish to have the number of years in the probationary period reduced. The revised language is intended to clarify these situations and the fact that the faculty must apply for the reduction. In the revision prior experience is considered in a more consistent manner.
---------------
REVISION TO THE BOARD OF VISITORS POLICIES AND
PROCEDURES ON ACADEMIC RANK AND PROMOTION IN RANK
RESOLVED, that upon the recommendation of the Academic Affairs Committee, the Board of Visitors approves the revision to Sections I.B.1.a. and I.C. of the Policies and Procedures on Academic Rank and Promotion in Rank, approved by the Board of Visitors on June 12, 1980; revised February 24, 1984; June 20, 1985 and December 13, 1988. The changes are effective immediately. The recommended changes are listed as follows.
I.B.1.a. (After Revisions)
Faculty members normally lacking the highest terminal degree who are employed to teach on the freshman and sophomore levels--They normally receive annual appointments for a period of three years, but in exceptional circumstances they may be reappointed for a maximum of three additional annual contracts. They must be informed in writing at the time of the original appointment that their positions are not permanent and that they will not be eligible to be considered for tenure.
I.B.1.a. (Before Revisions)
Faculty members normally lacking the highest terminal degree who are employed to teach on the freshman and sophomore levels--They normally receive annual appointments for a period of three years, but in exceptional circumstances they may be reappointed for a maximum of three additional annual contracts. They must be informed in writing at the time of the original appointment that their positions are not permanent and that they will not be eligible to be considered for tenure. If a faculty member who was employed as this type of instructor leaves the employment of the university for any reason and is later reemployed as a 1.b. instructor or in a higher rank, that faculty member may choose not to have time as a 1.a. instructor counted toward the probationary period for tenure. Such an agreement must be made at the time of re-employment and be in writing, approved by the vice president for academic affairs.
Rationale: I.B.1.a.
The deleted language is subsumed by the changes to the Policies and Procedures on Tenure.
I.C. (After Revisions)
The following full-time academic ranks do not carry tenure, but if a faculty member who has held one of these ranks is subsequently appointed to a tenurable position as described in Section A, time spent at Old Dominion University in one of these ranks may be counted as part of the probationary period for tenure.
I.C. (Before Revisions)
The following full-time academic ranks do not carry tenure, but if a faculty member who has held one of these ranks is subsequently appointed to a tenurable position as described in Section A, time spent at Old Dominion University in one of these ranks will be counted as part of the probationary period for tenure.
Rationale: I.C.
The change is consonate with the new language in the Policies and Procedures on Tenure. Under the new language a faculty member may have prior service in a non-tenure track position count toward tenure, but this is not a requirement.
BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS COMMITTEE
Rector Dragas called on Mr. Pitchford for the report of the Buildings and Grounds Committee. Mr. Pitchford reported that the Committee received a slide presentation on proposed campus beautification projects for 1990-91. Projects include improvements to the Old Fine Arts and Health and Physical Education Buildings, landscaping at 49th Street and Powhatan Avenue, benches in the academic section of campus, and a sculpture garden between Webb Center and the New Fine Arts Building.
Wayne Higgins reviewed the status of the capital outlay projects initially funded by the 1990 Lottery Bill. Funds for equipment for the Old Fine Arts Building and for New Fine Arts Phase I have been restored and should be avail-able by the time the buildings open in January. The renovation of the Health and Physical Education Building and the Library addition have been postponed indefinitely. Although funds for asbestos abatement remain frozen, the University will be permitted to use maintenance reserve funds to remove asbestos from the Technology Building during the summer.
Wayne Higgins briefed the Committee on efforts to gain student, city and neighborhood support for the Powhatan Field Project. David Shufflebarger has been working with area civic leagues and churches. Reception thus far has been favorable. The University will submit the project for approval during the 1991 Short Session. The facilities will be funded by a 9C 20 year revenue bond and parking will be funded from parking auxiliary fund balances.
Dave Girardot reviewed the status of capital outlay projects. Both Fine Arts projects and the Athletics Facilities Phase I are on schedule and are expected to open in January. The Webb Center Addition and Multi-Level Parking projects have been delayed several months due to staffing problems at the review agency in Richmond. The University expects to review comments on the Webb Center Addition project in October and to award the contract by December. The Webb Center re-roofing contract has been awarded and work should be completed by April, 1991. The Multi-Level Parking project will be advertised for bid this month. Bids for window replacement at Rogers Hall and the Annex exceeded the budget and the project is scheduled for re-bid in January.
The Committee discussed the possibility of placing signs on Hampton Boulevard announcing the Hampton Boulevard improvements project. Wayne Higgins will initiate discussions with the appropriate city officials.
STUDENT AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
The Rector called on Brenda Williams to report on behalf of the Student Affairs Committee. Dr. Williams reported that Ms. Angela Boyd, Admissions Counselor, briefed the Committee on the Presidential Scholars Program. Last year, for the first time, the University recruited and enrolled four National Merit finalists. This year an additional five were enrolled and the University was granted membership in the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. The Committee met three of those students, who were enthusiastic about their university experience and the opportunity to help Old Dominion recruit other scholars to the University.
Dr. Lucy Wilson, Associate Vice President for Student Services; Ms. Andrea Freeman, President of the Fellowship of Minority Engineers and Scientists; and Ms. Tara Overton, President of the Student Body, briefed the Committee on a program aimed at improving the racial climate on campus. Unity Week, scheduled for January, will promote the sharing of ethnic and cultural art, food, and music; provide speakers and seminars on cultural pluralism; and conclude with a unity step show.
Dr. Richard Parrent, Director of Admissions, and Dr. Burnett reported on fall enrollments. FTEs are projected to increase by approximately one percent and headcount should climb to approximately 16,650, the highest enrollment in eight years.
Dr. Ruth Jones, Director of Affirmative Action, reviewed Old Dominion University's Student Recruitment Plan. The University has led the Commonwealth in meeting and exceeding its goals for enrolling African-American students for the past twelve years.
Ms. Beverly Walker-Griffea, Academic Advisor, briefed the Committee on Partners for Success, a faculty mentoring program, which links students of average ability with faculty members. This year 38 partnerships have been formed. Faculty and students engage in a variety of out-of-class activities which fosters the development of significant faculty-student relationships and increased retention.
Dr. Jim Jarrett, Director of Athletics, provided an athletic report that described a balanced program of intercollegiate and recreational sports; a program that has, as a high priority, the graduation of student athletes; and a program that has been highly successful on the playing field.
FINANCE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE
Rector Dragas called on Mr. Hall for the report of the Finance and Audit Committee. Mr. Hall reported that Mr. Higgins briefed the Committee on compliance reviews that were conducted to determine if university investment policies are consistent with Virginia law. He reviewed the proposed replacement policy that adds language concerning investment objectives and philosophy and specifies the types of securities that may be purchased. A conservative approach and strict quality standards were proposed to minimize risk. After discussion concerning minor revisions, the Committee voted to adopt the Current Funds Portfolio policy as amended.
Mr. Higgins also briefed the Committee on proposed changes to the Goals and Policies for the University Fund. The proposed policy will establish two investment pools. Pool A, with an initial market value of $760,000, was proposed as a Quasi Endowment to produce spendable income to address needs. Pool B, with an initial market value of $300,000, was classified as Current Funds and will increase by income from Pool A. The President will be authorized to draw from Pool B to address university needs. The Committee voted to adopt the Quasi Endowment and Current Funds Reserve Portfolio policy.
Mr. Higgins reported on proposed changes to the Quasi Endowment spending rule. He explained that the change is needed due to the Board's action in June to pledge commissions from bookstore operations to retire revenue bonds that will be issued to finance the acquisition of 43rd Street properties. After some discussion, the Committee voted to adopt the policy.
Mr. Shufflebarger briefed the Committee on the reasoning behind the proposed changes to the University's Eminent Scholars and General Endowment Pool spending policies. He stated that after a year long evaluation of its investment program, the Foundation adopted spending policies for its endowments and recommends that the University adopt similar policies for university endowments that are managed by the Foundation. The Committee adopted the spending rules for the Eminent Scholars Endowment and General Endowment as amended.
Mr. Shufflebarger reviewed investment performance for the period ended June 30, 1990. He reported that the University's performance lagged the market considerably. He also reviewed the status of the University's divestiture plan. The managers of the University endowment pool, the University Fund and the Educational Foundation's endowment and current funds will complete divestiture by September 30 of all individual securities of U.S. firms with direct investments in South Africa. The Intercollegiate Foundation had no securities which needed to be divested under the policy.
Mr. Staneski briefed the Committee on budget reductions required by the Commonwealth. Of the state's $1.3 billion shortfall, $981.6 million must be resolved through agency reductions and $238.8 million will come from higher education. The University's budget will be reduced by more than $12 million for the 1990-92 biennium. However, throughout the budget reduction process, the University sought to pro-tect academic programs. A tuition surcharge of 3 percent, approved to assist in meeting the budget reduction requirements, will be implemented in the spring semester.
Mr. Higgins reviewed the year end income and expense statement associated with the University's Educational and General Funds. Revenues totaled $81,709,617 and expenditures totaled $81,709,432, producing a $185 surplus that reverted to the state as required by state policy.
The Committee reviewed quarterly standing reports for Accounts Receivable, Prompt Payment and Perkins Loan Default Rate which were contained in the agenda. Mr. Higgins reported that the University is working hard to meet the Commonwealth's standards and that some clarification is needed with regard to receivables.
The Committee adjourned and reconvened in executive session. Following executive session, the Committee reconvened in open session and approved the University's Five Year Internal Audit Plan.
CALL FOR NEW BUSINESS AND ADJOURNMENT
The Rector asked if there was any new business to come before the Board. Hearing none, a motion was made, seconded and approved to adjourn.
