I. CALL TO ORDER

President Ferguson: Welcome everybody. I want to thank Chancellor Person and everybody at IU Kokomo for the wonderful hospitality and service we’ve received. I don’t think there’s been a step missed at any point. I’ve enjoyed being here. It’s a beautiful campus and well kept. We’re very proud of it. Thank you Ruth for everything you’ve done for us.

Occasionally, we have the opportunity to do something special and before we start I’d like to do that by presenting Robin Gress with her 10-year service pin. She has done a remarkable job as secretary of the board, and I’m very pleased to make this presentation.

B. President’s Report

President Herbert: Thank you very much Trustee Ferguson and members of the board. I’m very pleased to present my report to you.

I’d like to join Trustee Ferguson in thanking Chancellor Person, her faculty and staff and also students for their very warm hospitality. It’s been a great two days here and we deeply appreciate all that you’ve done to make this an excellent meeting. It’s always a pleasure to be on the Kokomo campus and to see the growth and the very exciting developments that are occurring here. I also enjoyed having a chance to meet the president and vice president of the student body and we’re looking forward to working with both of you over the course of the next year.

As you know, the state’s last-minute decision to reduce this year’s total funding for the Frank O’Bannon Scholarship program awards has impacted a number of our students. The impact was greatest on the Bloomington campus. The decision affected more than 900 of our incoming freshman who were expecting O’Bannon scholarships. Based upon the projections that the State Student Assistance Commission of Indiana (SSACI) gave us, we told them much they were going to receive, only to learn a few days ago that the money was not available.

I just might note that students who receive these scholarships come from low-income families and 24% of them are African American or Hispanic. All of them are clearly in need of financial support if they are going to achieve their academic goals. As we talked about this within the university it became very clear that we could not allow our students to be penalized because of these decisions and so we decided to ameliorate the situation by establishing a one-time grant fund, as opposed to asking the students to take out loans. That grant fund is intended to bridge the gap between the initial funding that we were told would be available and the reduced amount that SSACI ultimately allocated for our students. Now to create this grant fund we’ve had to shift over $800,000 from other very worthy campus priorities. I’ve written to each students telling them that our intent is to hold them harmless for the next academic year. We’ve also shared our intentions with the governor’s office and with members of the Legislature so that they are aware of what we are doing. I think the general reaction has been very positive.

At the same time, we’re forming a Student Aid and Affordability Task Force. I’m asking our financial aid administrators as well as faculty experts in this field to come together to take a look at the existing state system and to propose a set of changes that would enable the State of Indiana to better serve our students and their families, and also to advance academic achievement, equity and access, which are the three critical aspects of this effort. Our intent is to work closely with that SSACI in this regard to provide some recommendations to them that we hope will make a difference. The program has not been modified for a number of years, so it is time to reassess how we are going about the allocation of these funds.

Second, I’d like to update you on the selection of members for the search committee for a new IU East Chancellor. As all of you know David Fulton, who has served the university and that campus for many years, is anticipating his retirement and I think it’s very important for us to have a strong search committee that is representative of all segments of the campus. I am very mindful of the desires of the board to keep the committees small and we will do that. I have asked the chancellor of the Kokomo campus and also the president of the IU East Faculty Senate to serve as co-chairs of the committee, and they have both agreed to serve the university in this capacity. I very much appreciate their willingness to do that.

The next topic I’d like to share with you goes back to my first year as president at Indiana University. I committed to you, and to members of the legislature, that we would increase the participation of both women- and minority-owned businesses in the IU procurement process. Our prior practices or experiences in that area had generated some concern, especially in the Statehouse, and as a follow-up to that commitment we hired consultants Maddie McCormick and John French to take a look at what we’re doing, to talk with members of the business community and to come back with a set recommendations that we would then be able to implement to enhance our business diversity activities. Upon receiving that report, I created a business diversity initiative for the university and charged Vice Presidents Nelms and Clapacs with the responsibility for leading this effort on behalf of the university. They in turn named Linda Hunt, Assistant Vice President for Administration and Business Diversity, and LaTricia Hill-Chandler as the Director of Business Diversity office and today I’d like to just give you a brief business diversity report and share with you the policy that we have implemented or that we are proposing. It’s been reviewed and approved by the president’s executive staff and Charlie and Terry are here today to discuss he policy.

Charlie Nelms: Thank you very much President Herbert. This is one of the areas in which I believe we are on course to be able to support significant increases in the participation of women- and minority-owned business, for several reasons. First of all, I think we have the right leadership in place. Secondly, I think there’s a deep commitment on the part of the senior administration of Indiana University. Terry and I are actively involved in this whole process and we’ve been able to bring issues before the president’s cabinet for appropriate conversation. I would also tell you that it is important in our view that we have an operating policy relative to this particular issue. That way, as we work with the business community of Indiana and beyond, we can share with them some guidance relative to what it is we are attempting to do. I would simply say to you that it is important for us to make a distinction between goals, benchmarks and quotas. We’re not here to promote quotas because, as you know, legally we can’t do that as I understand the law. But this policy is one whereby we would use as our operating directions the goals of the state for procurement purposes.

Terry Clapacs: As Charlie said, this is not a policy that creates quotas, but one that creates goals. The goals essentially align with the goals that the state of Indiana has adopted as part of the Indiana Department for Administration, so it gives us a very good benchmark to follow, and it gives a measurement at the end of the year to help us evaluate how we’re doing. It’s a very comprehensive policy in that it really focuses well beyond the purchasing aspects of the university business, but it also includes professional service contracts, including architectural design contract, construction contracts at all tiers, and I think it will give us a very good path to follow as we put this business diversity program better in place. I think significant progress over the past year has been made, but we’ve got a lot of work to do and a lot of what we do is to create capacity on the part of those who provide these services to universities like Indiana or state government agencies and we are in the business of doing that as well. Essentially, you have to make a commitment and this policy makes the commitment for Indiana University.

President Herbert: This is a policy statement that I can implement as president, but I wanted to share it with you before doing so to see if there were any comments from the board. Again I think this makes clear that we do take these obligations very seriously and as I told members of the legislature, we intend to be a role model for the rest of the state in terms of higher education in this area.

Trustee Talbot: I’m very impressed by this. We have talked about this for quite some time. I’m excited this is a concise statement, but it makes the point that we are serious about this and I’m gratified to see it and thank you very much.

President Herbert: It is my intention, then, to issue this as an official policy statement on Monday.

In terms of good news, as you will recall at the last meeting I shared with you some of the exciting things that are happening in the Kelley School of Business. Since our last meeting there’ve been several very significant developments in the School of Medicine that I’m particularly proud of. It has received two substantial grants that will significantly advance our quest to become one of the nation’s top five centers for cancer research, diagnosis and treatment. Last month the Eli Lilly Company and Foundation pledged $7.5 million to assist the IU Cancer Center in its efforts to recruit the nation’s best cancer researchers and just a few days ago we announced that the Vera Bradley Foundation has pledged $6.8 million to support IU’s Multidisciplinary Breast Cancer Research Program. These grants clearly bring us closer to the achievement of our goals. We’re very grateful to these two foundations for their vision and generosity and I’d like to congratulate Craig Brater for the outstanding work that he’s doing in conveying the very impressive story that we have to tell relative to our extremely impressive efforts in the area of cancer care and research.

Finally I’d like to extend congratulations to two of our administrative colleagues who recently received some very prestigious awards. Last month, Provost Michael McRobbie received TechPoint’s Trailblazer in Technology Award. We’ve known for many years that he was a trailblazer and I’m glad some of our colleagues here in the state are recognizing that. It does recognize individuals and entities whose efforts and vision have advanced technology and made a lasting contribution to the state of Indiana. There’s no question that Michael’s efforts are largely responsible for IU’s strong leadership position in information technology, and I know that his efforts are appreciated throughout state government as well.

I also want to extend congratulations to Chancellor Ruth Person who recently was honored as a distinguished alumna of her alma mater, the University of Michigan. She received a 2006 Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of Michigan, School of Information and its Alumni Association. So, congratulations to both of you.

C. Faculty Report

Ted Miller: Thank you very much President Ferguson, President Herbert, trustees of Indiana University. I am here instead of Bart Ng who was unable to attend our meeting today. I’m not sure what the format of the next meeting will be; it’s advertised as a special meeting, but I hope there will be an opportunity for Bart to make a few final comments to the board.

President Ferguson: We will have him on the agenda.

Ted Miller: Thank you very much. I am here today with my colleague Marilyn Kintzele, president of the Kokomo Faculty Senate.

As you know, the University Faculty Council has not met since your last meeting so we don’t have much to share from that point of view, but I would like to say in looking forward to next year that the UFC is going to focus on a significant number of issues. We’ve talked about them in the past, but I’ve been struck in recent months by the conversation about university reorganization. As you know, the faculty governance system of Indiana University developed over a number of years within the old structure of Indiana University. We’ve had a University Faculty Council that has at times probably has been an impediment to the operation of the university because we have really taken a view that university Faculty Council shouldn’t act unless all of the campuses are kind of on board in terms of where we think we want to go and of course that’s a process that consumes time and energy and so forth and so on.

So, one of the things that does strike me is that the UFC might usefully engage beginning next year some discussions about the organization of faculty governance in the university. Taking into account some of the changes that have been implemented by the board, I’m not sure exactly where that would go, but it does strike me as being something that might be worth talking some about. If we have a Board of Trustees that is an active board and wants to do things and do them with some expedition maybe want we need is a university faculty governance organization that can keep up with you.

Now one of the problems that we have -- and this is a point that Trustee Talbot understands, but I want to make sure that the rest of you do, too -- is that the typical member of the University Faculty Council is in a group of employees that I will call the “10-pay group.” That is to distinguish them from university employees who are in the 12-pay group. What this means is that the typical member of the faculty does not get paid by Indiana University during the summer and as a result, the typical faculty member at Indiana University is off doing a remarkable diversity of things during the summer, many of which are not bound to their home campus at all. This is one of the issues that the University Faculty Council, well all of our faculty councils really, does have. One of the things the board might think some about is what could be done if we want a university faculty governance system that can be more responsive on a year-round basis; what can we do to facilitate something like that? It is really a big issue. You may wonder why the University Faculty Council doesn’t meet in May, June, July and August. It’s because the Faculty Council isn’t here. So, I think the more I hear about the university organization the more I think that we may well be at a point some changes in the way we operate as a faculty group would be at least worth discussing.

President Ferguson: It’s an interesting thought Ted. I’ll be interested in the development of those thoughts.

Trustee Talbot: Ted, is there a way to have some kind of a mechanism put in place with electronic mail or something to be able to communicate with those who are traveling?

Ted Miller: This is something I envision happening as we go into the next year. I don’t think it’s something we can pursue very effectively right now, and it really isn’t something I’ve given a tremendous amount of thought to, but as I’ve listened to the latest round of reorganization, the thrust of which I appreciate greatly President Herbert, I began to wonder whether in the face of all this reorganization we ought to think on the faculty side of something along those lines.

Ted Miller: I leave you with Marilyn Kintzele for her report.

Marilyn Kintzele: I would like to highlight a few major activities of the Faculty Senate here on the Kokomo campus this past academic year.

First, we approved two degree proposals. One was a Master of Public Management and the other was a Bachelor of Science and Secondary Education.

Other items that we approved are a little more involved. We established firm review procedures for vice chancellors on the Kokomo campus. For 15 years or so, we have had in place bylaws that said campus-level administrators, in addition to chairs and deans, could be reviewed. About two years ago, faculty made a brief start on it, but they didn’t set up procedures and it really wasn’t a good process. So, this year the Administrative Review Committee established procedures to carry out vice chancellor reviews which were then approved by the Faculty Senate. Then they went back to the drawing boards and came back with a suggested timeline for completing the procedures. The procedures are various steps to be done in the review process. Well, now we have a suggested date by which those particular procedures should be done and so that the committees that are carrying on the review can actually move in a very systematic manner in getting that accomplished.

Another major undertaking that took considerable time on the part of the Educational Policies Committee was the drafting of general education goals and learning objectives. We have approved nine learning goals with outcomes for those goals, such as communication skills, which includes writing skills, speaking skills and listening skills; quantitative skills; ethical skills; and skills in terms of the various fields within Art and Sciences, such as Arts & Humanities and Physical and Life Sciences, Social and Behavioral Sciences. So this whole massive list has been produced, but the real work is going to come next year when we try to put a curriculum to those goals, matching up which courses our students can take to meet a particular academic goal. I think you’re going to have more involvement with the faculty trying to decide which is particularly pertinent or not.

D. Student Report

John Vieke: Thank you President Herbert, President Ferguson as well as the Board of Trustees for allowing me some of your time today to speak to you. Some of you may know I am the IU Kokomo Student Body President John Vieke. This is my Vice President, Chad Andrews.

First of all I would like to welcome you all back to our campus. I think it’s been a couple of years since you were here and IU Kokomo has been up to some very exciting things.

First of all efforts to increase the civic engagement through participation in the American Democracy project has exceeded our expectation in the last couple of years. Just this past year, our students put on a 24-hour fund-raising marathon that raised more than $5,500 for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Also, more than 600 used text books were shipped to Africa as a result of two student book drives. Students also put on a benefit concert that raised about $500 for the American Cancer Society, the Relay for Life they have going on.

Furthermore, student dedication has also led to an increase in participation in our annual blood drive. During this past spring semester nearly 400 students were involved in a variety of service learning opportunities. According to our records that’s about a 40% increase from the previous spring semester. These activities benefited area non-profit organizations such as the Kokomo Homeless Shelter, Open Arms and also the Kokomo Area Reading Council.

IU Kokomo students have also partnered with the Family Service Association here in Kokomo to promote campus and community awareness to the problem of domestic violence. In this process they ended up raising over $7,000 through the Take Back the Night Program.

Also, our students in the freshman learning community have also been up to some things. They made presentation to the Kokomo City Council in which they recommended future uses for the former Continental Steel site, which some of these designs included parks complete with sculptures and I believe our students will be building one of these sculptures this summer.

The students at IU Kokomo haven’t just applied the lessons they are learning about civic engagement; I believe they are applying these lessons to our campus as well. Everywhere you turn the declining health of Americans and Hoosiers is in a downwards spiral. As you are all aware residents of the state of Indiana are suffering from a number of serious health risks. The 2005 Indiana Behavior Risk Factor survey found that smoking among Hoosiers has increased from 24.8% in 2004 to 27.3% in 2005. This increase puts Indiana second in the nation for the number of residents that smoke. That’s up from 7th place in 2004. The number of Hoosiers considered obese grew from 25.5% in 2004 to 27.2% in 2005.

Trustee Shoulders: Are there a lot of smokers in your generation? What do you see?

John Vieke: I found it’s actually going to younger and younger generations.

Trustee Shoulders: Absolutely everybody smoked when I was in college. Is your generation smoking more you think?

John Vieke: I certainly believe so yes.

Trustee Shoulders: That’s too bad.

John Vieke: It’s just a little shocking that Indiana’s come from 7th place to 2nd place.

Trustee Shoulders: Kentucky is No. One I think.

John Vieke: Maybe it’s the region. Also, obesity has become a problem here in Indiana. We’ve had a rise in percentage of residents who are overweight. According to our records it’s about 35% of Hoosiers are considered overweight. That’s about 10th in the nation for overweight.

Trustee Shoulders: So we’ve got fat smokers.

John Vieke: And apparently they don’t eat vegetables either because nearly 80% don’t eat fruits and vegetables or exercise. About ¼ have high blood pressure and also about 1/10 suffer from diabetes. Statistics also show in the past 25 years that there’s a trend going towards overweight children. In the 2-5 age groups and the 12-19 age groups the percentage has tripled and also among 6-11 the percentage has quadrupled. This has been evidence recently on our own campus because we’ve had to order special chairs to accommodate overweight teens that are in our classrooms.

IU Kokomo students have taken these statistics to heart. Last February students put on a wellness fair that was operated here in the Kelley Student Center. It was open to both the campus and the community with the idea of providing proactive programming during the African-American history month and also a goal with encouraging people to think and act in a healthy way. The wellness fair not only offered free vision screening and body mass exams, but they also tested for AIDS, bone density, blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels. Additionally the wellness fair provided attendees with tips and techniques for behavior and stress management and information about health care and dental services for those who don’t have any insurance.

Nearly 800 people attended this wellness fair and about 400 signed a smoke-free petition for Kokomo. Most of the participants were in fact IU Kokomo students and as you can see from the data from the exit survey it shows that the wellness fair had a positive influence in a number of ways on the participants.

The students who organized this first annual IU Kokomo Wellness Fair are dedicated to spreading the word about the need to live a healthy life style. A commitment has been made by the students of IU Kokomo to hold a wellness fair on an annual basis, but I sure they know and we all know that one day a year focused on wellness is certainly not enough.

Our students fully grasp that in order to make wellness and healthy habits a way of our life it needs to be a highly visible part of our lives. As IU Kokomo continues to grow in the number of traditional students that attend this campus as well as those who are attending full time and spending longer days on campus, the students of IU Kokomo firmly believe the campus needs a wellness center. A facility that would not only offer the opportunity to reduce stress and decrease the chance of heart disease and diabetes through physical activity, but a building that would allow IU Kokomo to offer health, physical education and recreation classes on campus. As the only campus that currently does not have any facility of this type we have to rely on locations that are away from the campus to support our limited number of HPER programs.

Additionally a wellness center would allow the campus to expand its course offerings in nursing and other health related fields. As you may recall the mission differentiation report identified health professions as one of the top five most studied fields here at the Kokomo campus. The School of Nursing at IU Kokomo hosts two week-long camps each summer. One is for children with asthma and the other is for children with insulin-dependent diabetes and a wellness center could easily be used for programs such as this as well as many more.

President Ferguson: Any questions for John?

Trustee Cox: I just wanted to thank you. You’ve only been in office for two or three and you’re very active. I appreciate the message and everything you are doing and I look forward to working with you this year.

Trustee Shoulders: John, I think that was a great report and I agree with you. You ought to have a rec center here, a wellness center. Just a matter of money.

We ask that the full board affirm the same.

Unanimously approved on a motion duly made and seconded.

After a brief executive session the committee was adjourned.

Trustee Cohen: We had several discussion items. Vice President Palmer started with the review of the 2007-09 operating appropriation requests. The overall requests represents a 20.5% percentage change in the operating appropriation over the 2007-09 biennium. Our life sciences initiative played a large role in that increase.

We also had a presentation by Capital Cities and Callan to modify our investment strategy for our portfolio and basically we approved them extending duration in the portfolio and allowing bank loans and core plus strategy. The next step is for Callan Capital Cities to come back to us with manager selections which we anticipate in the next actually we’ll probably, the Finance & Audit Committee will meet separately probably as it’s been delegated to deal with that.

Next, MaryFrances McCourt gave a brief report on the refunding of the Series Q bond issue and an update on the Series R plans.

Also under old business, Kathleen McNeely gave a brief update on the status of certification of financial statements.

ACADEMIC AFFAIRS & UNIVERSITY POLICIES COMMITTEE – Trustee Talbot, chair

Trustee Talbot: Thank you, Mr. President. Academic Affairs met yesterday afternoon and all members of the board were present.

We had two actions items and one first reading, all to do with our mission differentiation statements. The first reading was for the Criteria to be Used in the Establishment of New Campuses and Instructional Centers. That’s part of the mission differentiation, but it also has to abide by what the Commission for Higher Education and the State of Indiana has deemed necessary. It was presented to us by Vice President Charlie Nelms, who added the criteria Indiana University incorporates in the establishment of such centers. I would encourage trustees to review it before our next meeting and the second reading.

We did have a second reading on the guidelines for student housing on regional campuses that Vice President Nelms brought back to us and again this is part of the mission differentiation and the committee ask that the be brought to you for an action item.

1. Action Item: Approval is requested for the guidelines for student housing on regional campuses.

Unanimously approved on a motion duly made and seconded.

Trustee Talbot: Then Vice President Nelms brought to us the second reading of the admissions policies for the regional campuses. As you recall we have approved those for IU Bloomington and IUPUI. These policies came to us from IUK, IUE, IUN, IUSB and IUS and the committee voted to bring those forward in a motion of acceptance.

2. Action Item: Approval is requested for the admissions policies for regional campuses.

Unanimously approved on a motion duly made and seconded.

Trustee Talbot: We then had an open discussion about our efforts and initiatives in international education and some new things that are on the horizon. We adjourned in time for us to attend a very nice Alumni reception.

EXTERNAL RELATIONS COMMITTEE – Trustee Shoulders, chair

Trustee Shoulders: Thank you, Mr. President. The External Relations Committee was called to order at 10:45 a.m. and immediately turned to its first order of business, a report on how IU Kokomo is engaged in its community. Chancellor Ruth Person introduced Dr. Marilyn Skinner, acting director of the Kokomo Early Childhood Education Center, which is funded by Lilly Endowment Cape grant and whose efforts are dedicated to raising the learning readiness of Howard County preschoolers. WE heard a very nice presentation concerning those efforts.

Next, we heard from Cherie Dodd and Kathy Ross who introduced us to a new interactive, technology-based teaching and learning technique that is being used in freshmen classroom. We were each given a computer clicker and instructed to respond to questions by pressing the clicker. We took a test and I think I passed; I’m not sure about the rest.

The committee then joined members of the IU Kokomo staff and faculty and members of the community for lunch and conversation abut the campus’ role in the community, and then we reconvened to hear a presentation by Vice President Mike Sample on IU’s new Integrated Image Strategy. The committee endorsed the strategy despite a robust debate over the designations created for the law schools, and brings this motion to the full board for approval.

Action Item: Approval is requested for the Integrated Imaging policy and the accompanying guidelines.

Resolution of the Board of Trustees
Endorsing a University-Wide Integrated Image Strategy

Whereas, the Indiana University identity is a substantial institutional asset that can enhance the institution’s ability to attract faculty, students, and staff; generate revenue; attract grants; engage alumni; and garner external support, and

Whereas, Indiana University is comprised of an array of component parts that share common goals but are also distinctive from one another, and

Whereas, the depiction and use of the Indiana University identity across its component parts has become inconsistent while at the same time the communications environment in which the university engages has become increasingly cluttered and fragmented, causing confusion among constituents and escalating distribution costs, and

Whereas, effective and efficient communication between the University and its audiences require

Now therefore be it resolved that the Board of Trustees endorses the proposed university-wide integrated image strategy including the development of university-wide policies that facilitate the internal management of the University’s image, development of identity tools, and oversight and enforcement at all campuses, schools, and units.

Unanimously approved on a motion duly made and seconded.

LONG-RANGE PLANNING COMMITTEE – Trustee Ferguson, Chair

Trustee Ferguson: Long-Range Planning met today. We heard an excellent report on research compliance, and I want to thank the president and Dottie Frapwell for bringing it forward. It’s something we needed to address and it gives us an opportunity to move forward in a very important area.

We also had a second reading on the peer institutions for the regional campuses.

Action Item: Approval is requested for the regional campus peer institutions.

Unanimously approved on a motion duly made and seconded.

REPORT FROM STUDENT TRUSTEE – Trustee Cox

Trustee Cox: I have two very brief observations. First, most student government representative do not attend the June meeting because classes have ended and students are engaged elsewhere. However, in addition to John Vieke of IU Kokomo, I’d also like to welcome Jaraad Taylor from IU Southeast. Thank you for visiting with us all the way from Southeast.

I’d also like to say that I’m incredibly impressed whenever we visited a regional campus and I look at their campus life environment. I’m sure it’s incredibly hard to cultivate a significant campus life environment without a residential environment so I just wanted to thank our regional campus chancellors for being able to make sure that the university experience is more than an academic and classroom experience; that there is something there in terms of campus and student life. I would just encourage you to continue to participate with your student governments, involve them in conversations, help them realize goals of increasing student better turnout in their student government elections and encourage them to keep pressure on us when it comes to issues like a wellness center.

III. PERSONNEL ACTIONS

Bruce Bergland: Members of the board, I am very, very happy to be here today to highlight for you the fact that our very lengthy effort to bring to our campus a permanently appointed vice chancellor for Academic Affairs has been successful. We have found a wonderful candidate. His name is Kwesi Aggrey. He has a Ph.D. in analytic chemistry from the University of Hawaii. Currently he is the provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania. He is here with us today and I wanted you all to greet him. We are so happy he is with us. Kwesi, would you please stand? He’ll begin July 1.

On a related note, the individual who has served as our interim vice chancellor for Academic Affairs, Ann Rominger, will resume her responsibilities as dean of our School of Business and Economics. I mention that because she has served our institution so well and you may remember she was the person who was almost singularly responsible for bringing our school business back to AACSB accreditation status and I want to thank her for her service.

Charles Bantz: I want to draw attention to three items. First, Joan Austin, one of Indiana University’s most distinguished faculty members, now also holds the Sally Reahard Chair. Second, Trudy Banta, who has served as vice chancellor since 1992 and is one of the world’s leading experts in assessment, will take on the of Senior Advisor to the Chancellor for Academic Planning and relinquish her vice chancellorship as part of a reorganization to enhance our focus on planning. Trudy is exceedingly pleased to report that Gary Pike will succeed Vic Borden. Gary is another national leader coming to IUPUI.

Sandra Patterson-Randles: I would like to bring to your attention that we have hired an associate vice chancellor for Academic Affairs. We have rearranged the duties of this position to include academic diversity so that we have more consistency in terms of diversity programming on campus. I’m really delighted to announce that Dr. Sheying Chen, who is now at the University of Guam and City University of New York, will be joining us. He is an experienced scholar with a huge resume of publications. He’s really top notch and also in the area of diversity as well. So, we really look forward to him joining us on campus.

VI. OLD BUSINESS

1. Annual Update: Commitment to Excellent Funds

Charles Bantz: Recognizing we are at the end of the meeting, I will be as brief as you would like me to be. Before you, are Commitment to Excellence documents. Michael and I had a conversation about the idea that he and I and my colleagues would come back and give you a report on how things have changed dramatically as a result of Commitment to Excellence because it has made such a difference. What you have before you today, however, are the Commitment to Excellence allocations in the budget for the next fiscal year. There was a placeholder in all of our budgets prior to the last meeting when you approved the budget, but on Page 3 you will see the total dollar amounts for each of the campuses. My colleagues have suggested a number of things. I could highlight each of the campuses and if you would like me to do that, I will go ahead and highlight that briefly.

Beginning with IUB on Page 4, they are investing significantly again in faculty, as has been the pattern, and creating a Department of Statistics. Human Biology, near the bottom of that list, has been an ongoing development for the Bloomington campus and a very significant one, and of course the investment of cyber security, one of the key pieces of the campus in Bloomington and one of our pinnacles of excellence on that campus. Obviously there is a great deal of detail here as it goes for three pages, but those are a good example of the number of the programs that are key.

At IUPUI on page 7, this is a different format then we’ve used before because I made the decision that we would seek to invest first in Life Science, second in faculty excellence and third in student excellence. For example, in the area of Life Sciences, we’ve invested in undergraduate research opportunities to help place our students in research labs on campus. Under faculty excellence, we are going to establish an urban center for the advancements of science and math education, hire a number of faculty there and a number of other areas. In student excellence, the smallest item, but in some ways the most impressive item, is the Nina Scholars Program. It is funded by the Nina Mason Pulliam Trust, but we are establishing one for transfer students and this program, frankly, has demonstrated that students at the absolute highest risk of not succeeding are capable of succeeding in college, and we’re looking to help these students who transfer to succeed at IUPUI.

If you move on to IU East on Page 10, the focus that Chancellor Fulton asked me to mention was the investment in the faculty member for biotechnology, a new program for them that they’re seeking to advance. They’re also focusing on distributed education, which is technology-delivered education.

At IU Kokomo, we see on Page 11 a very significant investment in new program development, particularly in Informatics and then those two programs you’ve heard about they’re pursuing, radiography and medical imaging technology.

On Page 12 at IU Northwest, Chancellor Bergland asked me to point out one of the more interesting proposals, the cultural discovery learning or sustainable regional vitality grants. With these grants, we’re investing in faculty who then partner with students and community leaders and community activists in order to improve the culture and the sustainability of their community, which is a key partnership in the Gary area.

On Page 14, IU South Bend is making a focus on retention and you’ll see two items there on retention, some of which is trying to build capacity to better understand the students and understand how the students are in fact not successful and what they can do to help them be successful.

IU Southeast on Page 15 there is another example of investment in Informatics and trying to build that program that we have seen be so successful on several of the campuses and you’ll remember this is to make up the fact that we were unable to get an appropriation for that.

So, each is different, but each is clearly trying to focus on building capacity for undergraduate students, building capacity for success in the campuses. As we look back when we report to you in a future opportunity I think what you’ll see is that the strategy that you were willing to pursue, which is to invest systematically in improving undergraduate education, has changed that education on several campuses. I would note that never has any resource been monitored so carefully, monitored so intentionally and directed so intentionally to improving undergraduate education. I continue to be impressed by the creativity and the difference it’s made, and some of the examples of the differences are frankly very easy. Someone asked me, what does this really mean, and all I have to do is say “Andre Watts.” and everybody goes “got it”. It’s harder, sometimes, to explain some of the other programs, which have been essential to building our student success, whether it’s retention or a new degree program, but that has been extremely important on each of these campuses, and we’d like to talk to you in the future in much more detail. Michael, would you like to add anything at this point?

Michael McRobbie: I came prepared with a 35-slide presentation for you which would probably take 45 minutes on all the great things that have been done in Bloomington with CTE funds. It seems to me rather than prolonging the meeting this might, in fact, be a better presentation for one of committees in the future. I think it answers a lot of questions as to where the money’s gone in a lot more detail, the programs, the faculty and the numbers. I think it is an extraordinarily compelling picture if you combine the number of positions that will be funded by CTE, faculty, staff to support them, graduate students. If you take those and put them together with the faculty, graduate students, staff in Informatics, pervasive tech labs and medicine, you are probably getting at the vicinity of 500-plus people; new people who, have been and will be employed in key areas to the university. At Bloomington, I’m talking about life sciences, information technology and the arts and humanities in particular, and the quality of those people are changing the face of the university. They really are the future generation of academic excellence at the Bloomington campus, and I’m sure the same is true for the other campuses. This is really an extremely exciting story, as good as anything in the state. That story would be the one I would like to present to you at the next opportunity.

Trustee Talbot: I don’t want to gloss over how import this is. When we established those Commitment to Excellence funds I think this is exactly what we all had in mind. We wanted to enhance the academics and the educational opportunities for our students and attract the best and brightest professors and researchers in their field. As we expand in some of the curriculum at our different campuses and the necessary kinds of additions we need to make it is very reinforcing to get these reports. I, for one, appreciate the timeliness that you give us so that we are kept up to date all the time, and I agree with both of you that this is something we should put on the Academic Affairs committee for a broader explanation. It’s quite amazing how a small percentage that we thought might help has really enhanced the mission at Indiana University.

Trustee Shoulders: I would like to bring up another point under old business. When I was chair of the Academic Affairs committee some years ago, we spent a good deal of time talking about getting all of our campus libraries wired, such that a business school student in South Bend could access the resources of the Kelley School of Business in Bloomington sitting in the library. In fact, we even got to the point where we added a personnel.

Trustee Talbot: It’s coming back to us Pat. I talked to Pat Steele, the interim dean, and she’s very willing to bring us an update. Some of the momentum was lost when Dean Thorin left.

Charles Bantz: I request a motion of approval for the CTE funds because these are allocations. You just had fixed amounts.

Action Item: Approval is requested for the 2006-2007 Commitment to Excellence allocations.

Unanimously approved on a motion duly made and seconded.

VII. NEW BUSINESS

1. Report: Peers of the Indiana University School of Medicine

Craig Brater: You’re familiar with the process that’s been used to select peer institutions at IUPUI and with Bloomington, and the School of Medicine has gone through the same exercise. We’re quite happy with the selection of institutions, especially those we consider aspirational, because we really want to be like them.

President Ferguson: Where would you place this group of medical schools in terms of the top 30 or 40 medical schools?

Craig Brater: The ones that are in the aspirational group are all in the top 20 nationally. There are 126 municipal schools, and there are about 70 public, and everybody has heard we would like to be among the Top 10 publics, which would put us in the top 20 overall. So this is a stated goal of ours ever since we completed our strategic plan back in 1999-2000. When you look at our peers, we’re clustered in terms of NIH funding and things like that, which is the most quantitative way we use to rank ourselves against one another. Right now we’re about 40. We’ve been oscillating between the high 30s and low 40s the last couple of years. There’s some in that group that are above that and there are some below it. Probably the closest to us are ones like Wisconsin, Ohio State, Iowa, but there’s no question those aspirational ones are top 20 overall.

Trustee Reilly: I can read the data on what characterizes your aspirational schools. As I recall when we met at the medical school late fall last year we asked how much money would it take? As I recall the number was $1-2 billion over a certain period of time. Is that a correct recollection?

Craig Brater: I’m hesitating because when we did our original business plan we were needing about a million square feet of laboratory space to pull it off. That was our projection, and if you take that whole million square feet of laboratory space you do get up in the numbers you were talking about. But you have to realize in the past four to five years we’ve brought on, or are in the process of bringing on, close to half of that. So, we’ve made substantial strides in terms of addressing some of these needs. So, what’s left in terms of the amount of capital it would take -- I’m just making an educated guess -- but we’re probably a third of where we need to go in terms of those kind of investments. so we’ve got another two-thirds of probably what is close to a billion dollars.

Trustee Reilly: And when we priced the life sciences initiative again big ball park numbers of $1½ billion. Is that additive or is there overlap here?

Craig Brater: No that’s overlap. When Dean Subbaswamy and I used to talk about this, and Michael was in on a lot of these discussions, too, the easiest frame of reference was historically from the biological research prospective. The School of Medicine has been about twice as big as Bloomington. So it’s been about a two-to-one ratio. So, that would fit into if our needs are a billion and then ours plus Bloomington’s for life sciences would be 1.5 and that’s so it’s consistent.

Trustee Reilly: What is it about Michigan, North Carolina and some of these places that have gotten them to these extremely high positions? It wasn’t just money, was it?

Craig Brater: A substantial amount of it was. Those institutions historically have had a culture that we have only evolved to more recently. By that what do I mean? They’ve had a more homogenous approach across their different departments and in particular the clinical departments. Again, what do I mean by that? In order to get in these upper arenas you need a lot of external support, but in addition you’ve got to have an internal commitment, particularly from the clinical departments where they’re taking a substantial portion of their clinically generated revenues and they’re investing them in research and education. Historically at the IU School of Medicine there’s been heterogeneity. So some of the departments were heavy investors like medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry, genetics etc. Others did not invest appreciably in those other missions, and it’s only been over the past few years that we’ve gotten more homogenous in that level of commitment. A lot of which has occurred through opportunities to bring in new leadership. People retiring and you bring in somebody who’s got a different view of the world and a different philosophy. So, what you see in the Michigan’s and the North Carolina’s is that for decades they have consistently been investing to a greater degree than a number of our departments have been investing, so we’ve got a fair amount of catch up to do.

Another thing you see is that for Michigan, for example, I know that their medical school, though it’s half the size of ours in terms of students, gets twice as much money from the state as we do in terms of net dollars. So, we have about $40 million to invest and they’ve got $80 million every year. Makes a big difference.

Trustee Reilly: I would just like to make one comment that I think you’d like to hear. I was talking about two weeks ago to the president of Stanford, John Hennessey, who has a medical school that’s private, but I think it’s fairly well ranked.

Craig Brater: It’s in the top 20.

Trustee Reilly: We were talking about Indiana University and he said that he thought the IU School of Medicine was a considerably better school of medicine than its rankings, and he thought it was adequately or well-positioned to provide a strategic leadership to the university, with the life sciences initiative being the head of our strategy.

Craig Brater: Some of the recruits we’ve attracted have caused people around the country to take notice. Our new chair of surgery is a very good example. He turned down Michigan. He turned down Iowa. He turned down Duke and we got him. A whole variety of factors, but when something like that happens people across the fraternity of medical schools notice. He may also be noticing that there’s a lot of buzz about us from a student perspective. Some of you have heard me say that the number of people applying to medical schools has been gradually increasing. The average across the country last year was 4.6%. The number of applicants we had increased 25% and while there’s no hard data on this, if you talked to students and ask why, you hear they spend a lot of their time looking at websites, getting in chat rooms and trading information and what they’re hearing is that we’ve become pretty well known for what we call our competency-based curriculum. We’ve become well-known for a program we call Relationship Centered Care, which is really addressing the culture of the whole place. We’re well-known for how we work hard to formally weave aspects of professionalism into the curriculum. They know about our international programs, particularly Kenya, and they see that spectrum of all that those activities and the kind of go “wow, that sounds like the kind of place that I would like to go and get my medical training.

Now you don’t see that reflected in any of this data. You know you don’t see that reflected in research dollars and things like that, but it does contribute positively to the kind of reputation we have in general amongst our peers and I think that is probably part of what you were hearing.

Trustee Reilly: I have two other quick questions. President Herbert has given you a charge to be a top five cancer institution and I think we want to be a top five diabetic institution and so forth. If we’re looking at that, shouldn’t we have some peers that are in the private sector? What brought this to mind was an article this week in the Wall Street Journal about how Harvard has decided to go into stem cell work, cloning human embryo … {END OF TAPE}…

Craig Brater: … We’ve gone through an exercise of benchmarking our research-oriented faculty against our aspirational schools. So, basically, taking the top 20 institutions in the country in terms of NIH dollars and asking the question, what’s the difference between their research-oriented faculty and our research-oriented faculty, and the metrics we used were dollars of grants generated per individual, dollars of grants generated per square foot of laboratory space etc. We found that our faculty numbers were virtually identical to the median for that upper cluster. So, that says that our research-oriented faculty are just as productive in terms of getting peer reviewed grants as their peers at the very best institutions in the country. It also showed that our laboratory space is used as productively as the very best in the country in terms of dollars generated per square foot of laboratory space.

Those are two very telling messages that tell you that we can attract and retain just as talented people as Michigan or any of these other places. It also says that we can’t squeeze anything more out of our laboratory space, and that’s what led to our saying, OK, if we’re going to increase what we’re doing then we’ve got to convert that essentially into a business plan of how much additional laboratory space we need and how many additional research oriented positions or research oriented faculty we need. Because we have basically about half as many research oriented faculty as you find at these aspirational institutions. That’s the only difference between them and us; they got twice as many. So I think that ratio you’re talking about would be the same. It’s just on a bigger, the denominator is bigger.

President Herbert: This is the first reading of these peers, so we will come back and work with Craig in addressing the issue that Trustee Reilly has raised relative to including some private institutions that have strengths in these areas where we’re attempting to move into the top five.
