CALL TO ORDER AND EXECUTIVE SESSION
Rector Hall called the meeting to order and recognized Dr. Williams, who made the following motion: "Mr. Rector, I move that this meeting be recessed, and that we reconvene in Executive Session for the purpose of discussing personnel matters, specifically, candidates for the positions of Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs and Vice President for University Relations, as permitted by Subsection (A), Paragraph (1), of Section 2.1-344 of the Code of Virginia.
OPEN SESSION, FOIA CERTIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF MINUTES
At the conclusion of Executive Session, the meeting reconvened in open session and the Rector asked if there were any members who, in their judgment, felt that they could not certify that (1) only public business matters lawfully exempted from the open meeting requirements under the Freedom of Information Act were discussed and (2) only such public business matters as were identified in the motion by which the executive session was convened were heard, discussed or considered. If so, he asked such board member(s) to state specifically what he/she felt the departure was. Hearing no dissent, the Rector asked for certification by a vote of Aye. Board members in favor 14; Board members opposed 0. The vote on certification passed.
The Rector asked for approval of the minutes of the regular meeting of December 5, 1991. Upon a motion duly made and seconded, the minutes were approved as distributed.
RECTOR'S REPORT
Mr. Hall reported that recently several board members met with review team members from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools who visited the campus as part of the University's reaccreditation process.
The Board of Visitors' appointments process is currently underway. Mr. Hall expressed his appreciation to those board members who suggested nominations. President Koch has met with Governor Wilder, who will be appointing new board members to replace those whose terms of service will expire at the end of June.
Mr. Hall reminded the board members that the 1992 Annual Fund advance campaign is currently underway. The University's development team has requested that all pledges from board members be received before the kickoff in April. He encouraged 100% participation by the Board of Visitors.
The Rector distributed a proposed calendar of meetings for 1992-93, and indicated that the board members have the choice of holding executive commitee meetings on Mondays or Thursdays. He asked that they convey their preferences to Donna Meeks; if there is no strong preference for Thursdays, the meetings will remain on Mondays.
PRESIDENT'S REPORT
The Rector called on President Koch for his report. President Koch welcomed the Board to the Darden College of Education. He commented on the College's dedication and commitment to teacher education and the future addition to the Child Study Center.
The President announced that later this evening the Presidential Lecture Series will feature Gerald Livingston of Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Livingston is reputed as being an expert on Germany. Governor Jerry Brown will also be on campus this evening in Webb Center at 8:30 P.M.
President Koch commented on the successes of the men's and women's basketball teams, indicating that both teams received bids to the NCAA tournament. He complimented Coach Wendy Larry and Coach Oliver Purnell for their teams' fine performances.
President Koch briefed the Board on the visit of the reaccreditation team from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Although the University has not yet received the written report, the team provided verbal comments during their exit conference. To Old Dominion University's credit, the accreditation team made only 6 recommendations (whereas an institution usually receives approximately 25), and the University received several commendations from the team as well.
President Koch indicated that Mr. Lawler is in the hospital, but is doing well and hopes to be back to normal within a few days. He congratulated Dr. Gene Carter on his appointment as Executive Director of the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development. Although Dr. Carter will be leaving the area, he has indicated that he will remain on the Board of Visitors. President Koch also congratulated Mr. Arnold McKinnon for being honored by Financial World as one of the top 12 CEO's in the United States. Mr. McKinnon will also be the keynote speaker at the University's Annual Fund Kickoff on April 14th.
Greg Selby, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, has been named as an outstanding faculty member in the Commonwealth by the State Council of Higher Education. Professor Selby is an African-American who is assistant chair of his department and a very active researcher. He was also featured in the University's promotional video.
The State Council of Higher Education recently approved the renaming of the University's center on the Peninsula from the Peninsula Graduate Engineering Center to the Peninsula Center of Old Dominion University. Several significant changes accompany the name change. The University may now offer courses in undergraduate engineering, the master of business administration degree, the master of public administration degree and the master of international studies degree at the site. In addition, the University has been given authority to televise any of its courses to locations on the Peninsula. He stressed that this authority is with the cooperation of, and as the result of an agreement with, Christopher Newport College.
Finally, following the board meeting, President Koch and Dr. Herman Grunder, Director of the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facili-ty (CEBAF), will sign an agreement between the two institu-tions at a ceremony in Room 216. This important agreement commits the two institutions to adding 14 additional faculty members in nuclear physics to the Old Dominion University faculty. President Koch commented that this agreement is as significant as the Commonwealth Center for Coastal Physical Oceanography to the history of the University in the area of the sciences. It should put Old Dominion University in the forefront of institutions nationally in the area of nuclear physics by the end of the 1990s.
REPORTS OF STANDING COMMITTEES
ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE COMMITTEE
The Rector called on Mr. Mike Pitchford, Vice Chairman of the Administration and Finance Committee, to give the Committee's report in Chairman Gornto's absence. Mr. Pitchford reported that the Committee was briefed on the 1992-94 biennial budget. The University will see a modest increase in its budget over the biennium. Among the items approved were faculty and staff salary increases of 2%, the Portsmouth/Chesapeake/Suffolk Tri-cities Center, increases in student financial aid, and $2 million for the higher education equipment trust fund. Capital budget items included $1 million for E&G maintenance reserve and $2.4 million for auxiliary maintenance reserve. The University is authorized to begin planning and site work for the Child Study Center. Construction on this project may begin as early as 1994-96.
The Committee also heard a very lengthy presentation on the tuition and fee proposal for 1992-93. Mr. Pitchford asked President Koch for details. President Koch, in turn, asked Mr. Staneski to make a brief presentation.
Mr. Staneski distributed a handout and summarized the proposed plan, including the factors and policies which influenced the administration's recommendation. Mr. Staneski commented that the maximum tuition and fee authority given to the University is based on the University's budget which is determined by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Governor.
The administration is proposing a new tuition pricing structure for undergraduate students which charges students on a per-credit-hour basis. Currently, the University's pricing structure is such that the first 12 hours are charged on a per-credit-hour basis, hours 13 through 17 necessitate no further tuition payment, and an overload fee (which is half the per-credit-hour rate) is paid for any hours over 17. The new pricing structure would require students to pay for each of those credit hours, and the overload fee would be elimin-ated.
Mr. Staneski stressed that the tuition plan is based on tuition earnings which are actually one million dollars less than the total tuition and fee authority given the University by the State. The University is also required, as reflected in the proposed plan, to charge non-resident students the full cost of instruction.
The tuition and fee increases will support important instructional programs, including the purchase of library materials and instructional equipment. In addition, they'll help the University meet basic operating needs and maintenance needs for its buildings and grounds, and implement the recommendations of the Commission on the University of the 21st Century.
Enrollment projections underlying these revenue projections are essentially level, but it is anticipated that there will be a shift from out-of-state students to more in-state students. In addition, student activity fees will decrease since they will be spread out over more credit hours. Finally, off-campus tuition rates were set in accordance with an advisory committee of people who administer those programs.
Mr. Staneski commented on the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed structure. First, it is a more equitable pricing structure because students would pay for every credit they earn. Currently, graduate students do pay for every credit they earn; only undergraduates receive the price break. The proposed pricing structure would charge all students equally and consistently for the services they receive. Secondly, the new pricing structure will minimize the impact of future tuition increases, since future increases will be spread over a larger number of credit hours. Third, it will enable the University to actually decrease the per credit hour charge for undergraduate students. It is also likely that it will decrease the amount of drop/adds processed each semester.
Mr. Staneski stressed that the University will still maintain it's competitive advantage with the new pricing structure. Of all the doctoral-granting state institutions, so far only George Mason University will have a lower tuition and fee package than ODU.
The disadvantages of the new pricing structure include the following: the new pricing structure focuses the majority of the tuition increases on in-state and out-of-state, full-time students and off-campus students. The total educational cost for an undergraduate student (including room and board), taking 15 credit hours, could be as high as 16% more than the current cost. There is also the possibility of enrollment decreases, but it is difficult to anticipate what that decrease might be. Students may be less likely to take discretionary or elective courses and some students may decide to earn their degrees in five years rather than four.
Other factors to consider are that the University will implement this fall a tuition payment plan, wherein students will be able to pay their tuition in four equal payments during the semester. In addition, to earn the same amount of money under the current pricing structure would require a 15% increase across the board, and a 17% increase to earn the University's full appropriation. The University will also be receiving more student financial aid funds from the State to help offset these tuition and fee increases for students with the most need.
Mr. Staneski then reviewed in greater detail the actual per credit hours charges which are being recommended and how the new pricing structure would affect a typical full-time, undergraduate student taking 15 credit hours and living on campus.
President Koch called on Ted Atkinson, Student Body President, to comment. Mr. Atkinson thanked the Board for allowing him to speak and commended Mr. Staneski for his very thorough report and for providing the facts from an institutional point of view. His role, as Student Body President, is to give the students' perspective on the issue. He commented that the Senate was first made aware of the new pricing structure about a week and a half ago, which gave them little time to prepare for a student response. However, they did manage to distribute flyers and speak individually with students in this short time period.
The student response has been fairly predictable. Part-time undergraduate and graduate students love the idea because they see either no change or a decrease in their tuition next year. Without considering off-campus instruction, 100% of the tuition increase must be borne by the full-time undergraduate student. Students realized that there would be a tuition increase, given the state of the economy, and braced them-selves for an increase in the 14-15% range. However, the full-time undergraduate student who is taking 15 credit hours will see an increase in tuition of about 24%. Students in the College of Engineering, because of their degree requirements, sometimes must take 16 credit hours per semester; their tuition will increase 32%. Response from these segments of the student body was, predictably, overwhelmingly negative. Mr. Atkinson predicted that there will be a decrease in enrollment as a direct result of this new pricing structure.
Mr. Atkinson summed up by saying that an across-the-board increase of 14.7% over the course of two years would allow the students time to deal with the tuition increase gradually, but under the proposed structure, full-time undergraduate students will see the increase next semester and some may not be able to afford to attend ODU as a result. He asked the Board to consider those students who are going to find it impossible to return or to graduate in four years under the per credit hour plan.
President Koch commented that the administration did not see the difference between the two price structures as "a black and white kind of issue." The proposed structure, over a long period of time, is superior. Because the University has lost 21.5% of its general fund support over the last 18 months, it is in very difficult circumstances and must allocate its resources wisely. Those resources include space in classes. The administration hopes the per-credit-hour approach will, among other things, help the University manage its resources better. He also pointed out that in recent years the Univer-sity has become non-competitive at the graduate level and this approach will allow the University to regain its competitiveness at that level.
Although Mr. Atkinson's arguments are not without merit, President Koch commented that he would recommend the proposed pricing structure to the Board for its approval. He further commented that he had a tremendous amount of respect for Mr. Atkinson. Mr. Atkinson has been a magnificent representative of Old Dominion University in the General Assembly and was called on several occasions to testify on behalf of higher education and Old Dominion University.
The Rector asked for questions or comments from the Board. Mr. Barry commented that the tuition and fee increase this year was a particularly harsh one because of the cutbacks in funding from the State and, although the University has cut its own costs, more money has been taken from the University than the University has been able to save. He said he would support the President's recommendation, but he encouraged the administration to focus on long-term issues so that increases of this type do not occur each year. He then distributed an article written by Gordon Davies, Director of the State Council of Higher Education, and encouraged the board members to read the article. In his article, Dr. Davies criticizes universities for needed reform in several areas, including curriculum, budget and administration. He suggests that faculty job descriptions be reviewed and revised so that each member of the faculty has virtually the same job description, and that universities should use their faculties - their most valuable and expensive resource - more effectively than is currently being done. Mr. Barry urged the board members that, when the time comes when this is done, the President will need the Board's full support.
Following comments from several board members, the Rector, a the President's request, allowed two students to speak, even though they had not followed the Board's policy whereby the public must receive approval from the President to speak to the Board prior to the meeting. The first student, Jennifer Russell, commented that she had spent the morning, since first learning of the proposed tuition pricing structure, gathering approximately 175 signatures from students who protest the new structure. She urged the Board to consider those students who will be unable to return to ODU next semester for financial reasons, before voting on this issue. The second student suggested that the Board gradually initiate the per-credit-hour program, instead of all at once.
At the end of discussion, the following resolution, which was brought forth as a recommendation from the Administration and Finance Committee, was unanimously:
COMPREHENSIVE FEE RESOLUTION 1992-93
RESOLVED, that upon the recommendation of the President and the Administration and Finance Committee, the Board of Visitors approves the following comprehensive tuition cost per credit hour for the 1992-93 academic year and thereafter until otherwise adjusted by the Board of Visitors.

The bond issue includes for Old Dominion University $13.8 million for the addition to the Library, $15 million for Phase I of the Oceanography and Physical Science Building, and $3.3 million for the renovation of the Health and Physical Education Building.
Following the review of the standing committee reports, the Committee went into executive session. No action was taken once the Committee reconvened in open session.
STUDENT AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
Rector Hall called on Dr. Brenda Williams for the report of the Student Affairs Committee. Dr. Williams reported that the Committee heard a report from Helga Greenfield, Director of Student Financial Aid, on significant changes in Federal financial aid programs and the implications for students. The consensus of the Committee was that the Financial Aid Office is doing a good job of providing students access to whatever financial aid funds are available to them.
The Committee heard a presentation on the University's response to the Governor's Task Force on Substance Abuse and Sexual Assault, which makes numerous recommendations in areas such as implementation, education, enforcement and treatment. The University has been actively dealing with the issues raised in the task force's report for the past several years, and is already providing many of the recommended services.
Vice President Burnett briefed the Committee on the several issues, including campus safety, preliminary enrollment figures for the 1992-93 academic year, and a summary of university sponsored activities which took place during Black History Month.
UNIVERSITY RELATIONS COMMITTEE
The Rector called on Mr. Dick Barry for the report of the University Relations Committee. Mr. Barry reported that the Committee heard a report from Ray Hinton, Chairman of the 1992 Annual Fund Campaign. The 1991 campaign successfully raised $1.3 million, which was 104% of its intended goal. Mr. Hinton indicated that it is his intention to achieve a 16% increase in that goal, for a total of $1.5 million in 1992.
The Committee also heard plans for a fundraising project to build the Williamsburg Wall along the border of campus facing Hampton Boulevard. The plan is to fund it with private dollars by encouraging people to donate a 10-foot section of the wall, or to buy a brick for $100, which will bear the donor's name.
The Committee heard a presentation from Dr. Kitty Kersey on the addition to the Child Study Center. Almost one million dollars has already been raised in private funds. The University will request the State to fund the balance.
ACADEMIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
Mr. Hall called on Dr. Gene Carter to give the report of the Academic Affairs Committee. Dr. Carter reported that the Committee heard a presentation from the Dean of the College of Education highlighting the innovative graduate programs in the college, which include the outreach programs, restructuring of teacher education, and the reaccreditation process. The outreach programs in the Darden College of Education began six new site-based graduate programs, bringing the total during recent years to 26. Dean Myers attributed increasing enrollments in the College of Education to the faculty's willingness to teach at off-campus sites. Dr. Denny Wolfe indicated that the restructuring of the teacher education program is now completed. It involved the cooperative efforts of the Colleges of Sciences, Arts and Letters and Education. Dean Myers informed the Committee that the College is presently preparing for the report of the NCATE visitation group and that a site visitation would be conducted in the fall of 1993.
The Committee received an update on the university-wide reaccreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools alluded to earlier in President Koch's report.
