1. Remarks from Chairman Tobias
Chairman Tobias thanked IU Southeast Chancellor Ray Wallace for hosting the Board of Trustees meeting and that board members are looking forward to the formal Chancellor’s installation ceremony this afternoon.
President McRobbie began his remarks by noting that today is a historic time for the IU Southeast campus with the installation of Ray Wallace as the seventh campus chancellor.
He continued by announcing awards that have been given to distinguished faculty. He said three more faculty members were named Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He stated that Edward Berbari, Chancellor’s Professor and Chair of the biomedical engineering department at the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology at IUPUI was recognized for his distinguished contributions in the field of cardiac electrophysiology, in particular for sudden cardiac death, and in bioengineering education. He continued that Thomas Sterling, professor of computer science in the School of Informatics and Computing at IU Bloomington was recognized for distinguished contributions to parallel computing. He also shared that Sarita Soni, professor emerita in the School of Optometry at IU Bloomington was recognized for her distinguished contributions to vision science and for strongly and effectively promoting the advancement of scientific research as an academic administrator. The addition of these three new Fellows brings the total to 89 that are affiliated with Indiana University.
President McRobbie announced that IU Bloomington senior Rachel Green has been awarded a George J. Mitchell Scholarship for graduate study in Northern Ireland. She is one of twelve students awarded this prestigious scholarship named for the former U.S. senator from Maine in honor of his contributions to the Northern Ireland peace process. Ms. Green will study moral, legal and political philosophy at Queen’s University in Belfast, Northern Ireland and intends to attend law school and pursue a career in public interest law.
The President recognized the efforts of the 2,400 IU Bloomington students who participated in this year’s 24th IU Dance Marathon. He announced the students raised a record breaking $3.2 million over 36 hours for the Riley Hospital for Children. He shared that this is the second largest student run philanthropic event of this kind in the nation and thus far nearly $20 million has been raised for the hospital.
He continued with recognition of the $6.6 million National Science Foundation grant awarded to the Pervasive Technology Institute at IU to create NSF’s first science and engineering research cloud, Jetstream. He said IU is expected to receive a total of $11 million to operate Jetstream over the next five years for implementation and operations.
President McRobbie provided a review of the WWI Roundtable he chaired in November. He shared that representatives from ten countries participated in the Roundtable, including the United States that was represented by Senator Richard Lugar and Congressman Lee Hamilton. He also shared that in conjunction with the Roundtable, an evening performance of Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem was held at the Musical Arts Center. He recognized Hutton Honors College Dean Andrea Ciccarelli who organized the WWI Roundtable and is leading the yearlong series of events to commemorate the First World War.
The President concluded his remarks by commenting on the Winter Commencement speaker and alumna Ms. Jane Chu. Ms. Chu is the eleventh chairwoman of the National Endowment of the Arts and received her doctorate in philanthropic studies from the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.
Ms. Wokeck announced that the UFC’s constitution has been amended to change the title of the Co-Secretary to Co-Chair. She said that there is also a constitutional amendment that changes the leadership of UFC to now include a representative from IU’s regional campuses. There will now be three Co-Chairs of the UFC.
She continued by commenting on the Bicentennial Strategic Plan for Indiana University.
She said that the plan captures the complexity of the institution in a comprehensive university-wide plan that must be flexible at a time of extraordinary change in higher education. She said she is appreciative of the emphasis that was placed in the plan to look at the university as a whole and as a community of scholars.
Ms. Wokeck concluded by providing perspective as to the role of IU’s faculty. She said that over the last decade, faculty have become more specialized in their ranks and are highly focused on their research, teaching and service. She continued that there needs to be a refocus on the success of the students and that it is important to remember that faculty value lies also in their roles as teachers, mentors and colleagues that attract and shape the next generation.
President McRobbie commented that he was in full agreement with Ms. Wokeck on her concluding remarks. He asked that faculty counsels develop initiatives to produce greater skills in teaching that would enable the best teachers to be used as mentors for the purposes she outlined.
Mr. Sherman began by presenting three Bloomington Faculty Council Resolutions that were recently passed. He said these resolutions should not be viewed in an adverse way but rather in response to the significant changes that are taking place at IU and at other institutions. He stated with the advent of new mergers and new schools that have recently taken place, faculty want to ensure their involvement as changes are being considered in the future.
The following resolutions by the Bloomington Faculty Council were presented to the Trustees by Mr. Sherman.
Resolution on Governance and Academic Freedom B9-2015
WHEREAS, Indiana University Bloomington, its schools, and departments have a long and important tradition of subscribing to principles of faculty governance, as exercised primarily through formal faculty bodies, the BFC and additional elected faculty governance bodies in schools, departments and other units, and secondarily and less formally through the involvement and consultation of faculty on academic matters;
WHEREAS, in light of recent controversies at other institutions, the Bloomington Faculty Council finds it useful to reaffirm two central tenets of faculty governance and academic freedom, which we believe are consistent with established IUB campus practices as well as the principles by which American universities have long operated;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that policies as well as
individual decisions on appointment, promotion, tenure, conduct, discipline, and dismissal of
faculty are primarily a faculty responsibility (see Bloomington
Faculty Council Constitution, Art. II, Secs. 2.1(A)(1)(F), 2.1(B)(11), and 2.2(B)), guided by
established traditions of collegial consultation and subject to relevant campus procedures
(see, e.g., https://www.indiana.edu/~vpfaa/academicguide/index.php/B._Recruitment_for_Academic_Positions);
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that faculty have the same right
and duty as all other citizens to participate in debates on matters of public concern,
including the right to express unpopular opinions. We underscore the IU Policy on Academic
Freedom, which has been repeatedly affirmed by the Board of Trustees and faculty councils,
and which may be found at: http://policies.iu.edu/policies/categories/academic-faculty-students/conditions-academic-employment/Academic-Freedom.shtml
Resolution on The Bicentennial Strategic Plan for Indiana University B14-2015
WHEREAS, the President and his staff have promulgated a
University Strategic Plan for a limited period of review and comment;
WHEREAS, several provisions of that plan hold the potential to effect
significant changes in the character and academic mission of the Bloomington
campus;
WHEREAS, matters affecting academic mission, as well
as creation, reorganization, merger, and elimination of programs and units, lie at the core
of the faculty's collective legislative and consultative authority;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Bloomington Faculty Council expects the President, the Provost, and other academic officers to follow the Constitutions of the Indiana University and Indiana University Bloomington faculty and established IU and IUB policies and to engage in timely, active, meaningful, substantive and sustained consultation of the faculty (both affected faculty in specific academic units and all established governance bodies) throughout the process of refining and implementing proposals or actions resulting from the University Strategic Plan.
Resolution on Divestment from Fossil Fuel Companies B17-2015
WHEREAS, the Bloomington Faculty Council (BFC) recognizes the efforts toward sustainability of the IU community campus-wide;
WHEREAS, the BFC agrees that divestment signals a strong and clear commitment to combatting the negative effects of global climate change;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the BFC endorses the All University Student Association, “Call for the Indiana University Foundation to Divest from Fossil Fuel Companies.”
Mr. Sherman concluded his remarks by congratulating the IU Bloomington students on a record breaking IU Dance Marathon. He also commented on the recent media reports on sexual assault and sexual misconduct at the University of Virginia. He stated that he is a member of a university wide committee to update policies on these issues and expressed concern on entrenched campus cultures. He requested that Trustees consider initiatives that can be undertaken to address these problems.
President McRobbie spoke to the implementation of the strategic plan and the responsibility to keep the Trustees informed about the progress of the implementation in accordance with the traditions and practices of shared governance at IU. He also noted in regards to the University of Virginia situation that the majority of IU fraternities have made strong public statements of condemnation of sexual assault and sexual violence.
Ms. Wokeck stated that the IUPUI Faculty Council has endorsed the resolutions on academic freedom and shared governance.
Chairman Tobias thanked Co-Secretaries Wokeck and Sherman and commended them for their willingness to be role models in leading the faculty into roles as mentors and teachers for future generations of faculty and students. He also noted that it is important to have this type of faculty input at board meetings, which does not always occur at higher education institutions.
Mr. Barry thanked the Trustees for the opportunity to speak and thanked past UFC Co-Secretary Herb Terry for his work in amending the constitution to include a third Co-Chair to the leadership of the UFC.
He continued by emphasizing the important role that IU Southeast serves in southern Indiana. He stated that IUS students have a variety of opportunities to work with nationally and internationally renowned faculty and that faculty challenge students to develop their critical thinking skills through research projects, as research assistants, and as editors of research journals. He concluded by stating that IUS must make its value abundantly clear, build partnerships and alliances, and commit to raising funds to pursue the faculty necessary to continue the work of the campus.
1. Remarks from Andrew Braden, Chairman of the All University Student Association
Mr. Braden began his remarks by referencing several resolutions that have been passed by the All Student University Association. He said that passing resolutions is a new process for AUSA and he feels this will continue to help the group progress organizationally. The first resolution will guide the mission of AUSA and how the organization will work in conjunction with the Board of Trustees and the second resolution focuses on student health and wellness. He continued that the third resolution concerns the current IUPUI 30/50/100 recycled paper plan and the extension of the plan to all IU campuses. The final resolution concerns divestment by the IU Foundation in fossil fuel companies. He noted that the Bloomington Faculty Council is supporting this resolution and that a multidisciplinary task force of students has been working on this for more than six months.

Mr. Braden continued with updates from regional campus student activities. IUPUI continues to work on the 30/50/100 Plan with support from the Chancellor and they have passed legislation in support of active shooter drills on campus. He said the IU South Bend student government association created a campus-wide student involvement program called the Titan Tour that rewards students for their campus leadership work. He continued that IU Northwest students are developing a student survey that focuses on campus services such as advising, the offices of the bursar and registrar and will use the results to inform administrative decisions. He said IU East had a successful homecoming week that included the groundbreaking for the Student Activities and Events Center and a food pantry drive with over 1500 items donated. Mr. Braden said the GPSO at IU Bloomington passed resolutions regarding religious and cultural observance awareness, the reduction of printing related resources, and the equitable identification cards. He said these cards allow students to use their preferred names on student ID’s. He noted that IUSA continues to focus on mental health and specifically on expanding these efforts within the international and Greek communities.
Chairman Tobias stated that the Trustees have helped facilitate a dialogue between the students and the IU Foundation with regards to fossil fuel divestment. Mr. Braden stated that the students were pleased that they have been heard and that conversations are taking place with IUF.
The committee meeting began with a report from Eugene Tempel, founding Dean of the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. He provided background on how the school evolved through a 1987 resolution by the Board of Trustees to create the IU Center on Philanthropy and then the 2012 Trustee resolution establishing the IU School of Philanthropy. He concluded his remarks with a report on the transition process as he leaves his post as the founding Dean and incoming Dean Amir Pasic begins his tenure in January, 2015. Chairman Tobias and President McRobbie extended their deep appreciation to Dean Tempel for his stellar leadership as founding Dean and his groundbreaking work in philanthropic studies.
Executive Vice President John Applegate, Provost Lauren Robel, Dean of the School of Medicine Jay Hess and IUPUI Executive Vice Chancellor Nasser Paydar presented an update on university rankings. EVP Applegate provided information on several ranking organizations such as Shanghai and US News and World Report. Provost Robel noted that individual rankings for certain schools such as the Kelley School of Business and the Maurer Law School are important to alumni and donors and that programs within schools may be highly ranked but may not be reflected in the campus’ overall ranking. She said that to move the metrics to attain more favorable rankings will require resource re-allocation which must be done without damaging other programs. Dean Hess said that chairs of School of Medicine departments are vital in recruiting high level faculty which impacts rankings. He also noted that the school and IU Health must work together to establish common goals to improve rankings of each institution. He said that medical school rankings are based on various data indicators between research and primary care, which have increased for the school over 2013. Executive Vice Chancellor Paydar said that elements of rankings can be broken down to use the information more effectively such as rankings by schools and campus rankings. IUPUI campus administrators focus their attention to rankings by US News and World Report and the Washington National Monthly since their metrics better match the campus mission of research, teaching and civic engagement.
Provost Robel commented on several personnel matters. She announced scientist Sue Carter as the new Director of the Kinsey Institute and the recruitment of Hui-Chen Lu to the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. She also announced James Shanahan as the new Dean of the Media School. She thanked departing Ruth Lilly Dean of University Libraries Brenda Johnson as she takes a position at the University of Chicago.
The committee meeting began with a special presentation of the Old Oaken Bucket by Mark Dean, Assistant Athletic Director for Alumni Relations.
Next, a presentation on IU’s brand strategy and university marketing was made by Chief Marketing Officer Eric Bruder and Vice President for Engagement Bill Stephan. Mr. Bruder shared the process of developing the brand for the university, “Fulfilling the Promise.” He continued that “Fulfilling the Promise” delivers against key objectives of grand achievements of the past two centuries and the potential and optimism of IU’s third century. He said the next steps include developing a creative campaign, visual identity refinements and advanced media deployment.
IU Southeast Chancellor Ray Wallace presented his first campus report. He began by providing an overview of his activities since he arrived at IUS. He provided a student and campus profile, an overview of academic programs and the growth of online education, information about student services and support including career counseling and internships, athletic accomplishments, community and student engagement initiatives, and alumni and development activities. He introduced four IUS students who each shared their stories about their backgrounds, educational, research and student experiences at IU Southeast.
Stephon Moore, president of the IU Southeast Student Government Association, addressed the board regarding student led initiatives on campus. He said that over the past two years the association has worked with the Office of Student Affairs to engage more students and provide additional support for student organizations. Student involvement has increased significantly as demonstrated in Greek Life volunteer hours multiplied four fold, the addition of five new student organizations, and significant increases in fundraising events and monies raised. Mr. Moore shared student successes including significant awards in journalism and English in competitions that included universities and colleges in the southern Indiana and northern Kentucky region and statewide competitions.
President McRobbie began the meeting by commenting on The Bicentennial Strategic Plan for Indiana University. The plan was initiated in 2013 when he directed all campuses to collectively develop five year strategic plans that would culminate in goals being completed and recognized in IU’s bicentennial year of 2019-2020. He said the plan elaborates upon his Principles of Excellence which were approved by the Board of Trustees in 2010. The plan includes eight major bicentennial priorities and builds on the strategic planning efforts on all campuses and by many units which involved hundreds of participants. He commended Executive Vice President John Applegate and Professor Michael Rushton from the School of Public and Environmental Affairs for their leadership in overseeing the creation of the plan. He also recognized members of the university community who submitted comments on the draft of the plan. He continued that the newly revised plan will give focus our efforts to ensure that IU will thrive in an environment of rapid change, global competition and increasingly stressed resources. He stated that the plan ensures IU continues to offer an education that is of the highest quality while keeping costs to students low, continues to focus on research efforts in health sciences and elsewhere, allows IU to effectively address challenges facing pre-school to 12th grade education in Indiana and beyond, supports efforts to become a more global university through the expansion of a network of Gateway Offices around the world, strategically transforms the IU Research and Development Corporation, and explores the addition of a program in modern IT-enable systems engineering. The President commended The Bicentennial Strategic Plan for Indiana University to the Board of Trustees and recommended its approval. He then invited EVP Applegate and Professor Rushton to address the Trustees.
EVP Applegate provided an overview of the revisions made to the plan upon the receipt of over 330 comments that were thoughtful and helpful in creating the final version. He said there is a new Bicentennial Priority Two which focuses specifically on faculty. The biggest change is the creation of a community of scholars as an eighth priority. He continued that this priority states what the university will do to increase faculty interaction and collaboration with one another as well as with students and with faculty peers at other institutions. The goal is to create an environment for faculty to do their best work thus positioning the university to attract and retain the best and brightest minds.
He said that several other aspects of the plan were changed to reflect feedback including more explicit emphasis on the work of regional campuses, better representation of graduate education, greater recognition of Humanities and social science research, and the process for re-imagining education has been revised to be more faculty-centric. He continued that the plan more explicitly recognizes staff, safety and wellness. With regards to implementation, he said it is much more defined in the final version and that core mission work will happen on campuses, in schools and units. He also noted that faculty will be involved in the implementation in a deep and comprehensive way. He said an important aspect is that the plan is to be dynamic with very broad goals which are important in the rapidly changing higher education environment. He continued that the budget process will greatly influence the execution of the plan. Mr. Applegate requested to formally revise the mission, value and vision statements so they reflect the plan and that the term “continuing studies” be deleted from the mission statement since IU no longer has the school.
The next agenda item was the annual financial report given by Associate Vice President and Controller Joan Hagen. Ms. Hagen presented the fiscal year 2014 audited financial report which received an unqualified opinion from the Indiana State Board of Accounts. She said the university’s net position increased $201 million which was a 6% return on the beginning position which gave the university an 8% five year average overall return. She continued that net investment in capital assets continues to be the largest single residual equity measure at $1.8 billion followed by unrestricted net assets at $1.5 billion. The remainders of IU’s net assets are restricted for endowment spending, research, capital projects and debt service. Ms. Hagen said the statement of net position was marked by an overall shift toward long term assets primarily due to investment portfolio rebalancing to optimize yield and unrealized gains on investments. She stated that IU’s balance sheet remains strong with assets increasing 3% and liabilities declining 4.5% over fiscal year 2013.
She continued by sharing that student fees and scholarship allowances increased this fiscal year, there were declines in federal grants and significant increases in both IUPUI and IU Bloomington auxiliary revenues.
Regarding compensation and benefits, she said they both account for 65% of operating expenses and that they increased $68 million, or 4%, over the prior fiscal year. This included approximately $17 million in early retirement incentives and related termination payouts. She said that savings from that program are starting to be realized and benefit costs continue to be moderated due to changes in health care plans.
She continued that net non-operating revenues increased 8% over fiscal year 2013, to $800 million and investment income increased $48 million which was double of the 2013 income. In other revenues, capital appropriations of $26 million, compared to zero in 2013, also contributed to strong non-operating revenue growth.
She stated that the operating results include the impact of the Cyclotron and Proton Therapy Center closings. As of June, the university wrote off $12.6 million in receivables related to the sale of assets and services.
Trustee Shoulders commended the university for consistently receiving unqualified opinions from the State Board of Accounts.
Senior Vice President and CFO and Treasurer MaryFrances McCourt provided an annual report of IU’s eight institutional financial metrics representing four Moody’s strategic metrics and four KPMG metrics. She also noted that metrics were included relative to the performance of IU’s operating investment portfolio. She said that performance improved relative to the projected performance for current year metrics and she highlighted that balance sheet metrics remain strong while income statement metrics show some strain going out five years as operating margins compress.
Associate Vice President for Human Resources John Whelan sought support from the Board of Trustees to modify the name of one of IU’s retirement plans to avoid confusion with another similarly names plan. He stated that there were no substantive changes to the plan beyond the name change.
The committee heard a report from Associate Vice President for Capital Planning and Facilities John Lewis that included updates on major capital projects at IU Bloomington. Vice President Tom Morrison provided a repair and rehabilitation updated on the campus of IU Southeast. He stated that over $17.8 million has been spent for projects over the past four years which included qualified energy projects and deferred maintenance.
Vice President Morrison and Jim Schellinger, Chairman and CEO of CSO Architects, gave a presentation on the proposed design for the Assembly Hall renovation and requested approval per the Action Item noted in Appendix A.
Design approval per the Action Item in Appendix A was requested for campus housing expansion at IUPUI. Vice President Morrison, Gary Voirol, Vice President and Secretary of MSKTD & Associates, Inc., and Paul Wuennenberg, Principal with KWK Architects, provided an overview of the residence hall that will be completed in the summer of 2016.
Jeff Kaden, University Engineer and Director of Engineering Services, reported on IU’s energy management initiatives. He provided cost savings on qualified energy savings projects at IUN, IUK, IUS, IUSB and IUPUI and reported on energy monitoring and reduction strategies at IUB. Mr. Kaden continued with a review of thirteen LEED certified buildings on IU campuses. He said that IU has the highest number of LEED certified buildings in the Big 10 and that five additional buildings are in the review stage. He continued with considerations being given to renewable energy opportunities such as solar water heating and local wind turbines and future projects.

1. Project and Design Approvals
IUB – Assembly Hall Renovation (Design Only)
Action Item: Approval of the board is requested to proceed with the design for renovations and improvements to the south lobby, including a new, expanded south entry and exterior plaza. The new two level addition will be comprised of 52,000 square feet and completely replace the existing south lobby structure. The design of the addition will draw from the powerful architecture of Assembly Hall and exude a strong extroverted structural expression that is consistent within the athletics campus context. A material palette of precast concrete, glass and metal panel derived from the neighboring structures will complement the design and assimilate the new structure into its setting. Access to the Concourse Level will be reconfigured and greatly improved by conveniently located and visible escalators and open stairs. Seating improvements will ensure simple and convenient access to reconfigured wheelchair accessible seating areas, and transparent railings will improve overall sightlines. The upper concourses will be fully renovated to incorporate improved aesthetics and lighting in the public corridors. Current restrooms will be renovated and concessions venues enhanced. New accessible restrooms will be added. A new Box Seat Club/Events Suite located on the Concourse Level will provide a premium basketball viewing experience with additional arena seats and a new flexible entertainment and hospitality space.
IUPUI – Campus Housing Expansion (Design Only)
Action Item: Approval of the board is requested to proceed with the design of a new residence hall to be located on North Street on the IUPUI campus. This 172,000-square foot building will provide 700 beds for students along with spaces to support student life activities and programs such as fitness, computer lab, laundry, and game rooms. Two classrooms to accommodate 40 students each also will be provided. The design of this building reflects the sleek, modern style of the IUPUI campus by the use of brick, glass and precast accents. The building is comprised of two sleeping room wings that vary in height (the north is 6 stories and south is 4 stories) to allow more natural light into the semi-enclosed courtyard and into the large punched windows of each sleeping room. The centralized circulation tower that joins the two wings and the first floor community spaces are oriented toward the nearby University Tower and are expressed architecturally with extensive glass and roof elements for a dramatic sense of entry and a preview of the activities inside.
Unanimously approved on a motion duly made and seconded.
