RECTOR'S REPORT
The Rector called the board members' attention to the policy manual revisions manual which had been placed before them. He then welcomed Mrs. Babalas, Mr. Howell and Mr. LeFlore to the Board. He indicated that Mr. Kavadias is in Russia until the end of the month.
Mr. Hall urged the board members to read the President's "State of the University" report and the Annual Report which were recently mailed to them. He also urged their attendance at the meeting of all state university and college boards sponsored by SCHEV on November 13, 1991, and the Association of Governing Boards' national conference in San Francisco on March 8-10, 1992.
PRESIDENT'S REPORT
The Rector called on the President for his report. President Koch welcomed the Board to the new Fine and Performing Arts Center. He commented that the University faculty and administration are very proud of the building. The facility has allowed the University to offer a broader array of programs to the students and community.
The President reported on the University's biennial budget request to the Governor's Office. This year the University deliberately submitted a modest proposal, both in terms of the number of items and the amount of money requested, in recognition of the fiscal circumstances facing the Commonwealth. Among the items requested are a proposed Tri-Cities Center to serve Portsmouth, Chesapeake and Suffolk; enhancement of statewide engineering technology, and additional support and enhancement of the engineering management graduate program.
The proposed Tri-Cities Center, the University's highest ranked priority, would concentrate on graduate work and upper-level undergraduate courses, building on course offerings at Tidewater Community College. Like the Virginia Beach Graduate Center, the Tri-Cities Center would operate in partnership with Norfolk State University. An independent, outside agency conducted a study of the tri-cities area and concluded that a substantial interest in such a center exists. The total request, from both universities, includes funding to lease and maintain the facility and one-time funding to equip the facility, totalling less than $1 million. This proposal has already attracted a great deal of political support. If approved by the General Assembly, the Center could be in operation as early as next fall.
The University's second priority is the enhancement of statewide engineering technology. The University is requesting funds to expand this popular program to three additional sites: Danville Community College in South Boston, Northern Virginia Community College and J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College. This program is currently offered on a two-plus-two basis at Virginia Western Community College in Roanoke and has been extremely successful, primarily because the area employers are supportive of the program. The cost of expanding the program to three additional sites would be approximately $100,000 per site.
The University's engineering management graduate program is offered at 20 different sites throughout the Commonwealth, as well as on campus, as part of the State's engineering network. The University of Virginia and Virginia Tech are the other primary participants in this network. The engineering management program is the most popular of all the programs offered by the network. The University is therefore requesting additional funds to support the efforts which are already under way and to expand the program to serve additional students.
The President distributed a copy of a newsletter sent today to the campus community which addresses three issues, the first of which is the University's new peer group for faculty salary determina-tion. The President described briefly the Commonwealth's process for determining peer groups for each of the state institutions. Each institution's peer group includes institutions outside of Virginia which are judged to be comparable in the size of the institution, the programmatic mix, the amount of research performed, accredited programs, etc. The peer group is determined the executive branch, by the staff of the major legislative money committees, and by representatives from the State Council for Higher Education. This year Old Dominion University was the only state university allowed to adjust its peer group. In the old peer group, Old Dominion University was in the 60th percentile, or slightly above average, so salary increments were low. Under the new peer group, however, Old Dominion will be in the 30-35th percentile so increments will be greater. This is something that the administration has been working on for a long time. The new peer group is a major step forward and will be viewed with enthusiasm by the faculty. The administration will continue to access its peer group for possible future adjustments.
The second item concerns indirect overhead cost recoveries. President Koch explained that when the University receives a federal grant, funds to cover indirect or overhead costs are included with that grant. The Commonwealth requires state universities to return 30 percent of indirect cost recoveries to the General Fund. However, the Old Dominion University Research Foundation pays for most if not all of those expenses, so the University has long argued that it should not make any contribution to the Commonwealth's General Fund for that purpose. In recent years that argument has not been accepted and each year a larger amount of dollars has been required from the University by the State. This year, however, the University has negotiated a verbal agreement whereby the University pays 30 percent but then receives 18 percent back from the Commonwealth in General Fund support. These funds may be used to support the Research Foundation.
The third issue concerns the early retirement program. Seven faculty members have chosen to accept the University's early retirement program which the Board approved earlier this year. Thirty faculty members, however, including seven from the English Department alone, have opted for the Governor's program. The Governor's program is a "50 and 25" program, meaning that the individual must be at least 50 years of age and have 25 years of service to the State. Over 60 faculty members at Old Dominion University were eligible, but only 30 have taken it, which is below the statewide average of 60 percent. The program is a good one which the faculty members deserve. The Governor, however, intends to retain the funding for half of those positions, which amounts to over $1 million for the 15 senior-level positions the University will lose. On the other hand, the University budgeted very conservatively in anticipation of losing an additional 6.5 percent of its budget. If there are no further cuts, the University will use that money to replace most if not all of these faculty members. The retirements are effective at the end of the current fiscal year.
REPORTS OF THE STANDING COMMITTEES
ACADEMIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
The Rector called on Dr. Gene Carter for the report of the Academic Affairs Committee. Dr. Carter reported that Provost Henry reviewed the organizational structure of the division of Academic Affairs and reported on the upcoming site visitation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The chairman of the site visitation team will visit the campus in November to finalize arrangements for the team's visit in March. The chapter entitled "Institutional Effectiveness," one of the 15 chapters that make up the self-study, was shared with the Committee. Through the self-study process, the University has developed a number of recommendations for improvement.
The Committee then discussed in detail the University's tenure policy. The current policies were reviewed and Presi-dent Koch reported that he would be meeting with the Faculty Senate and others to discuss issues raised by the Committee. He will report back to the Committee at a future meeting.
Provost Henry provided an update on the status of the Ph.D. in International Studies program. The State Council for Higher Education had encouraged the University to identify resources to support the program. Those funds have been identified, and the program will be recommended for approval at the State Council's October meeting.
The Committee heard a detailed report on the proposed Tri-cities center which President Koch alluded to earlier in his report. The commit-tee members felt encouraged by the enthusiasm and supported for the proposed Center.
The Committee then discussed the issue of program productivity and the response of the University to questions raised by the State Council for Higher Education regarding perceived low productivity of four of the University's programs: the B.A. in Spanish, the M.S.Ed. in Social Studies Education, the M.S. in Medical Laboratory Sciences and the M.S. in Physics. The President shared his response to SCHEV which advocates the continuation of those programs and points out that three of the four programs now meet productivity standards. Action is underway to ensure that the fourth program also meets those standards.
The Committee spent some time assessing the nature of the Virginia Beach Graduate Center and the Peninsula Center and their service to the minority community. Demographic data were presented to the Committee. The Committee requested that a follow-up study be made on students who are employed in engineering jobs after graduation and on the growth trend at the Centers.
In response to an earlier question from one of the committee members regarding the University's art collection, Provost Henry reported that the University maintains an inventory of its fine arts collection which is, in fact, rather extensive. He then distributed a listing of those art pieces. The Committee suggested that the community be made aware of the art objects on display at the University, thereby encouraging further contributions to the University. Computerizing the art inventory was also suggested.
The committee members were asked to read the General Retreat Report included in the agenda. They then reviewed the agenda items for the year and were encouraged to submit additional topics for consideration.
The following resolutions were brought forth as recommenda-tions from the Committee and were unanimously approved:

ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE COMMITTEE
Mr. Hall called on Mr. Bucky Gornto to give the report of the Administration and Finance Committee. Mr. Gornto reported that the Committee has one action item to present to the Board for its approval. The resolution delegates authority to the Vice President for Administration and Finance to manage and invest university funds. This is the same authority that was previously delegated to the Vice President for Administrative Services. However, this position was eliminated and a new position of Vice President for Administration and Finance was created.
The following resolution was brought forth as a recommenda-tion from the Committee and was unanimously approved:
RESOLUTION DELEGATING AUTHORITY TO THE VICE PRESIDENT
FOR ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE
WHEREAS, certain of the Board of Visitors policies delegate authority to the Vice President for Administrative Services; and
WHEREAS, the position of Vice President for Administrative Services was discontinued and the position of Vice President for Administration and Finance has been created.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the authority to act on behalf of the University heretofore delegated to the Vice President for Administrative Services is hereby delegated to the Vice President for Administration and Finance.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that all Board of Visitors policies be revised accordingly.
Rationale: While reviewing board policies pursuant to policy #1110, "Editorial Revisions to Board of Visitors Policies and Procedures When There are Title Changes and Changes in Office Names," it was apparent that changing the titles in the attached policies from Vice President for Administrative Services to Vice President for Administration and Finance was more than just a mere editorial revision. The position of Vice President for Administration and Finance is a completely new position and the authority previously granted to the position of Vice President for Administrative Services does not automatically pass to the new position.
The authority granted to the Vice President for Administration and Finance by virtue of this resolution encompasses business outside of the University.
Mr. Gornto reported that the Committee received a report on the University's Auxiliary Enterprise fund balances. These reserves are available for Auxiliary operating budgets, renewal and replacement of facilities and equipment, major renovation, acquisition and plant and program expansion, and debt service reserve. The fund balance is approximately $15 million for the 1991 fiscal year, which is within the guidelines developed by the Commonwealth.
The Committee also received a briefing on the 1992-94 biennial budget submission. The Committee commended the administration's prudence in recognizing the reality of the environment under which the University operates.
The Committee was advised that the past fiscal year closed with a positive balance of $144,257. Because the University has attained the Commonwealth's Management Standards, it was allowed to use that money for the current fiscal year.
The Committee reviewed the University's facilities audit project, which identifies the repair and maintenance needs of the buildings on campus. The audit identified $8.4 million in maintenance requirements for E & G (state-supported) build-ings, and $650,000 for Auxiliary Enterprise (self-supporting) facilities. The audit will enable the University to justify a larger share of the Commonwealth's Maintenance Reserve funding.
At the end of the meeting, the Committee went into executive session to receive a report from the University Auditor pertaining to the performance of certain departments and to discuss legal matters within the Board's jurisdiction. The Committee then reconvened in open session but took no action.
STUDENT AFFAIRS COMMITTEE
The Rector called on Dr. Brenda Williams for the report of the Student Affairs Committee. Dr. Williams reported that the Committee heard a report from the Honor Council Chairman, Jason Lundquist, on the Council's activities.
Michael Clemons, Director of Institutional Planning and Research, and Rick Parrent, Director of Admissions, shared with the Committee preliminary enrollment data. Overall enrollment has increased slightly from last year. Student enrollment at the centers in Virginia Beach and on the Penin-sula has increased by over 7 percent. Freshmen enrollment has decreased by 10 percent, due largely to a modest increase in admission standards. Enrollment of African American students has remained level and enrollment of Asian American students has increased.
Helga Greenfield, Director of Financial Aid, reported on student financial aid and the proposed Congressional action which could lead to significant changes in Federal financial programs. This year the University will disburse more than $27 million in student financial aid funds. Over half of the enrolled undergraduates will supplement their educational costs with some of these funds. The process is long and complex and all indications show that the staff of the Financial Aid Office has been doing a good job.
Julie Dodd, Director of the Women's Center, and Sheri Iachetta, Resident Director, explained the programs provided by the University in the areas of self-defense and sexual assault education. The SAFE (Sexual Assault Free Environment) program sponsored a Sexual Assault Prevention Week on campus this year as well as other educational activities. A program on self-defense was also offered.
UNIVERSITY RELATIONS COMMITTEE
Mr. Hall called on Mr. Richard Barry for the report of the University Relations Committee. Mr. Barry reported that the Committee received a report from Mr. Harry Creemers, the new Executive Director of Development, on his impressions, hopes and aspirations for the development program at Old Dominion University. He officially begins work on October 1.
Vice President Kemper reported on a proposed project involving Virginia Business magazine, a monthly magazine with a circu-lation of 60,000 to primarily businessmen in the state. The University is interested in having a special supplement in the May edition. Such a feature would give the University much needed statewide exposure.
Ray Hinton, Vice Chairman of the 1991 Annual Fund Campaign, provided a status report on the Campaign. He reported that the Annual Fund has reached 83 percent of its goal, which is ahead of where we were at the same time last year.
Chester Long, President of the Alumni Association, reported on the Association's activities. He noted that the Association is recruiting board members from outside the Hampton Roads area and the state.
CALL FOR NEW BUSINESS AND ADJOURNMENT
The Rector asked if there was any new business to come before the Board. President Koch reminded board members of the Forward Hampton Roads reception following the meeting in the Atrium.
With no further business to be discussed, the meeting was adjourned.
