V. Committee Reports:

Academic Affairs:

Regent Bearden presented the Academic Affairs Committee report. Written reports were provided to the Committee prior to the meeting. Regent Bearden requested that Dr. Beverly Downing, Interim Vice President of Academic Affairs, discuss the various topics impacting academics at the University.

Dr. Downing advised the Board that the University's Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) and Fifth-Year report were submitted to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) in March 2015. She also stated that the University's 10-year report is currently being prepared for future submission to SACS.

Dr. Downing discussed her plan to transition developmental education classes to an accelerated model with instructional support. Such support would include faculty members working with students with additional instructional needs before or after class.

Dr. Downing stated that all academic program reviews had been completed. Future reviews will assist in the University's decision-making for consolidating programs, eliminating or expanding programs based upon current career outlook information for students.

The 2009-10 Cohort Plan was addressed during the presentation. Dr. Downing advised that the University would be aggressively working with students within this cohort to increase the number of students in this group towards graduation.

Academic staffing levels were discussed. Dr. Downing advised that the Dean of the University position is expected to be filled and that job descriptions for the current chairs and coordinators would be revised.

Dr. Downing addressed the Time-to-Degree review her office undertook. There was found to be an additional year difference in degree completion of many KSU students. Several variables were attributable to this determination. For example, some students may have their graduation delayed due to being required to take non-credit developmental courses.

A discussion of Integrative Studies (IGS) courses was held. Dr. Downing stated that these courses were a part of the University's core curriculum and that students are required to take three (3) of these courses to complete graduation requirements.

Dr. Downing discussed the diversity of KSU's faculty and advised that it has been difficult to measure KSU's success in attracting and retaining faculty of diverse

[2]

backgrounds as there are different classifications pertaining to the determination of diversity. Dr. Downing stated that she had found a survey instrument she believed would actually capture KSU's faculty diversity more accurately. In the meantime, KSU would aggressively seek faculty diversity, but ensuring there is at least one person from a diverse background in the final applicant pool as it is important that KSU faculty reflect the diversity of the student body.

Dr. Mary Spor, Director of Sponsored Programs, provided a summary of the research and grants activity. Dr. Spor stated that KSU is ahead of many universities in acquiring grants. She encouraged increased research by KSU faculty as long as their primary role of teaching had been fulfilled. Further, Dr. Spor suggested that there were some impediments to overcome to increase grant applications.

President Burse proposed a No Fraternization Policy to prohibit romantic or intimate relationships between faculty and staff and KSU students.

Action: Motion to approve the No Fraternization Policy was made by the Academic Affairs Committee. The Committee action required no second. The motion passed 8-0.

Action: Motion to approve the conferral of degrees to students graduating at the May 2015 Commencement was made by the Academic Affairs Committee. The Committee action required no second. The motion passed 8-0.

Student Affairs Committee:

Regent Lysonge presented the Student Affairs Committee report. Written reports were provided to the Committee prior to the meeting.

Dr. Vernell Bennett, Vice President for Student Affairs was requested to provide an overview of the Student Affairs area.

Dr. Bennett stated that the Student Affairs area was focused on reclaiming students from Kentucky to attend KSU. To support this endeavor, Dr. Bennett has developed “Operation Perception Correction” to refocus greater emphasis upon relationships with school district and community college personnel to demonstrate the value and importance of a KSU education.

For the upcoming Fall semester, there were 1,568 applicants admitted from 46 states with a remaining 2,210 applicants with incomplete applications. Those with incomplete application packages are being called daily to encourage the submission of the missing evaluation materials. Generally, incomplete applications were missing transcripts or test scores.

Dr. Bennett is targeting Fall 2015 enrollment of first-time freshman to more than 500 students as every 100 students represents an additional $1.5 million in revenue to the University.

The Thorobred Express, the University's mobile outreach effort will continue visiting sites throughout Kentucky, including stops in Elizabethtown, Cynthia, Eastern Kentucky and Lexington.

To facilitate greater efficiency in the Student Affairs area, Dr. Bennett is cross-training her personnel during the rest of the academic year. Staff in the One-Stop Shop will be able to assist in the processing of incoming applications, particularly those incomplete applications that require additional contact with applicants.

Dr. Bennett introduced the incoming members of the 2015-16 Student Government Association Executive Board, Ms. Diamond Gordon, President; Brandon Moore, Treasurer and Elijah Mills, Chief Justice.

No action items were reported.

Finance and Administration and Audit Committees:

Mr. Mikeal Pinkard, Interim Vice President for Finance and Facilities provided an overview of the activities of the Finance area.

Mr. Pinkard stated that his area was reviewing its contracts and working to develop information and metrics regarding succession planning through the Human Resources Department.

Mr. Pinkard reviewed the proposed tuition and fees for the Fiscal Year 2016.

Action: Motion to approve the FY 2016 Tuition and Fee Schedule was made by the Finance and Audit Committee. The Committee action required no second. The motion passed 8-0.

No action items were reported.

VI. Technology Report:

Ms. Wendy Dixie, Interim Chief Information Officer, provided an update about University Technology services. Ms. Dixie advised the Board that an agreement with Oracle to provide ERP software services had been executed.

Once implementation begins, the University will have dual implementation teams, one to run the new Oracle PeopleSoft system and another to run the current Banner system until the new system is fully implemented. Personnel from the implementation partner will run the PeopleSoft system and current KSU staff will continue to run the Banner system. The implementation partner will develop training and testing protocols for KSU employees to become proficient in learning how to navigate the PeopleSoft system. Ms. Dixie also advised that the current data will be “cleaned-up” in time for the transition to the new PeopleSoft system.

VII. Athletics Update:

Mr. Harry Stinson, Interim Athletic Director, presented an Athletics update. A written report was forwarded to the Board prior to the meeting. Mr. Stinson stated that seven (7) former KSU football players had entered the National Football League (NFL) Draft. As for the upcoming 2015-16 school year, 16 student-athletes have signed National Letters of Intent to enroll at KSU and 15 of these students are from Kentucky.

The Football Team held Spring practices, but the Spring game was cancelled due to weather-related field conditions. The following weekend, KSU would hold open tryouts for the football team for interested students.

The Men's Cross Country team finished in third place at the SIAC Championship and the Women's Cross Country team finished in seventh place at the SIAC Championship.

KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY Regular Meeting of the Board of Regents Academic Affairs Committee Report July 31, 2015 Cooperate Extension Building Frankfort, Kentucky

Update on 2009 Cohort

The 2009 graduation cohort deadline is July 28, 2015. As of May 15, 2015, the 2009 Cohort graduation rate stands at 18.6%. Of the 457 students anticipated for the 2009 Cohort, 48 did not enroll during Fall 2009. This reduced the Cohort size to 409 first-time, full-time freshmen. The table below shows the breakdown of the 2009 Cohort.

The Data

Cohort Size:	457
Less Never Enrolled	48
Adjusted Cohort Size	409
Graduates as of 5/15	85
Current Graduation Rate	18.6%
Summer Completers	14
Projected Graduation Rate	20.8%

A collaborative effort between Academic Affairs (the Center for Academic Persistence Services and faculty chairpersons), the Office of Student Affairs, and the Director of Academic and Financial Success is on-going. Strategies used to boost 2009 Cohort students to graduation were as follows:

An analysis of the financial status of students to determine eligibility to return.

An analysis of the hours completed for each student and assessment of those with 100 hours or more to determine their qualification for the Liberal Studies degree. We also evaluated the students' transcripts to determine the quickest time to both their chosen degree and the Liberal Studies degree with a concentration in their area of choice.

A waiver of matriculation policy requiring that students returning to the institution for a second degree complete at least 30 credit hours was offered to those who could finish with the Liberal Studies degree. (Letters to students with copies to Academic Affairs files).

Close advisement and follow-up calls were made to each student enrolled for the summer to check their progress.

[1]

Page 49 Download HTML

- Telephone calls were made to students to get appropriate paperwork from students to complete their graduation requirements.

The employment of these strategies during the 2014-15 academic year resulted in the graduation of an additional 10 students by the cohort deadline which is the end of the summer session 2015. There are currently an additional four students enrolled in summer classes who will not complete those courses until July 24, 2015. The final grades are due July 27, 2015. Grades for these students will determine successful completion of their work and ability to graduate by July 28, 2015. The 2009 Cohort graduation rate will then be complete and final. Pending completion of the four students enrolled in summer school 2015, the projected graduation rate will be 20.8.

The anticipated graduation rate is approximately 5% lower than reported during the May 2015 Board of Regents meeting. The decrease is attributed to those student who were not able to matriculate because of larger balances. Some students with balances were granted assistance by the University. There were at least five students who were not successful in their required classes during the Spring 2015 semester and have to repeat failed courses in addition to completing other requirements needed for graduation.

Plan for 2010 and 2011 Cohorts

Additional strategies to increasing the projected completion rates for 2010 graduation Cohort are also underway and listed later in this report. There were 477 first-time, full-time students in the 2010 Cohort. As of May 15, 2015, the 2010 Cohort graduation rate stands at 9.44% with 49 of the 477 students having graduated. The end of summer school 2016 will mark the deadline for students in the 2010 Cohort to graduate. There are 127 actively enrolled students in the 2010 Cohort. An analysis of the data shows that 73 of these students have less than 40 credit hours left to complete their programs. At an enrollment rate of 15-18 credit hours per semester and additional summer enrollment of 4-10 credit hours during the summer 2015 or 2016, these students could complete their work. There are 14 students in the 2015 cohort who are currently enrolled in summer school 2015. With guidance (advisement, calling, mentoring) from the Director of Academic and Financial Success, these students could possibly complete their programs of 120 credit hours by the end of the Cohort period of July 2016.

Of the 490 students minus the 26 students that did not enroll, resulted in 464 students in the 2011 Cohort. The current graduation rate for this Cohort group is 5.10%. Twenty-five students have already graduated as of May 15, 2015. The end of summer school 2017 will mark the deadline for students in the 2011 Cohort. There are 136 actively enrolled students in the 2011 Cohort. An analysis of the data shows that 111 of these students have less than 60 credit hours left to complete their programs. At an enrollment rate of 15 credit hours per semester excluding summer enrollment, these students could complete their programs of 120 credit hours by the end of the cohort period of May 2017.

The team has employed the following strategies for the 2010 and 2011 Cohorts.

Close advisement and follow-up calls were made to each students' enrolled for the summer to check their progress

Encouraged 2010 and 2011 Cohort students to enroll in the 2015 summer school session.

Note: The results of summer school will be updated in the Cohort tracking spreadsheet by July 29, 2015 and reported to the Board if available during this presentation.

Telephone calls were made to students to get appropriate paperwork from students to complete their graduation requirements.

Students who were not active are being called by the Persistence Officers in the CAPS Center and faculty chairpersons to promote their reentry into the University along with the number of credit hours needed to complete their program within the Cohort deadline period.

Daily monitoring reviews of the Cohort spreadsheets is being carried out by Academic Affairs (the Center for Academic Persistence Services and faculty chairpersons), the Office of Student Affairs, and the Director of Academic and Financial Success. These reviews have resulted in updates to the Cohort tracking spreadsheet and the ability to focus on critical need students.

An analysis of the financial status of students to determine eligibility to return.

An analysis of the hours completed for each student and assessment of those with 60 hours or more to determine their qualification for the Liberal Studies degree.

Fall Admissions Report as of July 17, 2015

Term-Student Levels	Received (Inc) (Rjctd)			Number of Accepts/Admitted Students	Admit Rate (of apps received)
Fall 2015 – First-Time Freshman Out of State	3,427	1,659	460	1,313	38%

Fall 2015 – First-Time Transfers Kentucky	372	226	14	132	35%
Fall 2015 – Total	5,097			1,916	37%

Projected Fall Enrollment

The projected enrollment for continuing students is 1,810. This figure represents:

Students with zero balance	1,362
Students with $1 - $100 balance	107
Students with $100 - $500 balance	41
First-time freshman/transfer	300
	1,810

The projected first-time freshman and transfer enrollment for the fall semester is 300-350. If achieved, it will represent an increase of 5 to 23% over the fall's first-time full-time enrollment (284). That estimate is based upon several variables including: the number of registrants for New Student Orientations (NSO) (June, July and August) and the number of Intent to Enroll (ITE) forms received.

Strategies Employed for Increasing Fall 2015 Enrollment

The entire Student Affairs staff has been integral in driving the fall first-time freshman and transfer enrollment. Admitted students who were not registered for NSO were called and walked through the registration process while on the phone or, staff (with their permission) have registered them.

An all-day call-a-thon, Student Affairs' SOS for Assistance, was held on May 16. Faculty, staff, alumni, and members of the Frankfort/Lexington Chapter of the Links Incorporated joined Student Affairs staff in placing more than 4,000 calls to accepted students who had not yet submitted Intent to Enroll (ITE) or registered for a New Student Orientation (NSO) and incomplete students (students whose applications were missing test scores or transcripts). All in-state admitted and incomplete students who had not submitted ITE's were contacted. All of the out-of-state admitted students who had not submitted ITE's were also contacted. Half of the incomplete out-of-state students were contacted during call-a-thon. The other half of the incomplete out-of-state students were called during the work day the following week. The results of the call-a-thon can be found below.

Student Affairs SOS Call-A-Thon data

The phone portal was activated in the Office of Admissions. There are now 3 additional default lines for “live” assistance.

Acceptance letters were processed daily. Students were notified of their admission via telephone and letters of acceptance were distributed electronically and by hard copy the same day as generated.

The Office of Admissions streamlined its office operations. All electronic applications were pulled within 24 hours, all transcripts and test scores were entered into the system within 24 hours, the One Stop Shop trained to process applications and ITE's now submitted electronically.

Three hundred-eight students registered for the June and July NSO's. The June NSO was held on June 19. One hundred sixty-three students registered and one hundred twenty-five attended. There were walk-ins and some students who were registered for the July NSO attended as well. That evening, Dr. Bennett called each student who was registered but did not attend to learn if they planned to attend the July session or if they were enrolling elsewhere in the fall. Sixty-two calls were made. Of that number, twenty-five students reported that they intended to attend the July NSO, one reported that she moved away and would not be attending KSU and the other calls went unanswered.

One hundred seventy-eight students were registered for the July NSO. One hundred thirty-six attended, including walk-ins and students who were formerly registered for the June NSO but did not attend. There were fifty-two no-shows. Those students will be polled regarding their intentions to enroll at KSU in the fall. Typically, 40-60 students attend the August NSO. Those are usually students who work and cannot attend in June or July, or students who live a considerable distance from KSU and cannot afford to make the trip to campus twice within months.

Background:

Agenda Item Background

The comparative Statement of Net Position (SNP), Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position (SRECNP) as well as the Statement of Cash Flows (SCF) as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively presents the overall financial picture of the university. An item of high interest is that the financial statements will look very different once the effects of GASB 68 are quantified and recorded. The following are specific key points related to the June 2015 and 2014 financial statements.

Statement of Net Position

Accounts Receivable has decreased $7.1MM since this time last year. This is due to grants receivable being reduced by $2.7MM and student accounts receivable being reduced by $4.4MM. The reduction in student accounts receivable is due to an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts of $3.2MM for this year.

Other current liabilities showed a decrease over prior year of nearly 455% which is approximately $417K. There is a problem where a small amount of student refunds is being recorded. They are being entered to a liability account incorrectly. This amounts to nearly $412K. This will be researched and corrected in the final June 2015 financial statements.

Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position

Revenues

- Student Tuition and Fees, Residence Halls and Dining revenue are less than the prior year due to a decrease in enrollment. This is expected at this point and has been discussed previously. There are no other items of note related to revenue.

Expenses

Academic Support went up by $443K (18.2% increase) over the prior year which is due primarily to an increase in salaries and benefits of $200K and an increase of $243K in operating expenses. Operating expenses related to grants increased, while there was a reduction in E&G operating expenses.

Operations and maintenance increased by $520K (11.1%) which is due primarily to an increase in salaries and benefits of $354K and an increase in operating expenses of $166K. The increase in operating expenses was primarily in the areas of repairs and insurance (fire and auto).

Other Auxiliaries increased by $756K (110%) over the prior year which is due primarily to utilities of $650K being recorded here. This will be researched and adjusted for final June 2015 financial statements. An allocation entry is likely necessary.

There was only one other expense line that saw an increase over the prior year. It was under 6%. The other expense lines reflect a decrease over the prior year.

Utilizing the analysis outlined in the book “Auditing Your Human Resources Department,” {McConnell, J.H. (2011). Auditing Your Human Resources Department. New York, NY: American Management Association (AMACOM)} a thorough, in-depth review of all Human Resources functions at Kentucky State University is being initiated by the Director of HR with a timeline that covers July 27 – September 25, 2015. In summary, the review will include a four step process:

Information Gathering

Evaluation

Analysis

Action Planning

Based on the findings, an implementation schedule will be drafted for approval and adoption by the VP of Business Affairs/President and then executed by the HR department.

NOTE: A formal supervisory skills training program has not been implemented. As a partial substitution for the absence of a formal program, Human Resources staff work with supervisors on a one-on-one basis as needed.

The following table summarizes key activities that occurred in Human Resources during the second quarter of 2015 (April, May and June).

KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY Regular Meeting of the Board of Regents External Relations and Development Report July 31, 2015 Cooperative Extension Building Frankfort, Kentucky

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY REPORT

During the period of July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2015, Kentucky State University received contributions in the amount of $451,215 from 840 contributors – alumni, employees, University friends, corporations, foundations and organizations. The total amount received to date for Uniting Generations...Securing Futures – A Capital Campaign for Kentucky State University is $6,395,966.

Highlights for the third quarter for the Office of External Relations and Development include the following: The second installment of the KSU Alumni Postcard was mailed in May and the third installment of Onward and Upward went out on June 30 via the website and 10,500 copies of the publication were printed for distribution. The publication includes a pullout edition of the 2015 Homecoming Schedule of Events.

To reignite interest in the Henry E. Cheaney Legacy Plaza, a challenge was issued to all Greek organizations, student organizations and alumni classes to purchase bricks on the plaza. The organization that makes the largest financial donation by Homecoming will receive a special engraved paver on the plaza.

The External Relations and Development staff is in the midst of planning Homecoming events that will include a full complement of activities designed to target the interest of alumni of all ages. Also, the Public Relations Office completed the installation of displays in the Louisville and Lexington Airports.

The Office of External Relations and Development has been in a re-staffing mode over the past three months. The new staff members are Wendell Thomas as Director of Alumni Relations; Katrisha Waldridge, Coordinator I; and Dedra McDowell, Communication Specialist. Filling these positions will allow the division to better serve the University, alumni and community partners.

The Office of External Relations and Development assisted in the submission process for a Verizon grant designed to expose African-American and Hispanic young men in grades 6 – 8 to STEM technology by introducing them to 3D printing and app development. External Relations and Development partnered with Dr. Beverly Downing and the Office of Sponsored Programs on the submission. Kentucky State University was one of four HBCUs selected to be in the program. The other three participating schools are Jackson State, North Carolina A&T State and Morgan State Universities. The Verizon Male Maker Program was launched on KSU's campus July 6 and opened to 150 students from the Frankfort area and Lexington's BMW Academy.

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Update

The Oracle ERP Implementation Vendor Selection Committee has reviewed the responses from 2 vendors, Tata America International Corporation (TAIC) and ERP Analysts/Addvantum. After discussions and questions/answers sessions with the vendors, the committee has recommended Tata America International Corporation as its implementation vendor.

Tata America International Corporation was selected based on the company's wide-ranging domestic and global experience in Oracle and PeopleSoft. TAIC has developed a PeopleSoft Center of Excellence (CoE). This CoE offers a number of process redesign capabilities, allows for the implementation and maintenance of best practices and includes a portfolio of solution tools and techniques that will aid in increasing productivity, reducing development time, and ensuring the success of the project. This CoE consists of over 1,250 functional and technical consultants.

TAIC is a diamond partner of Oracle and has had a relationship with Oracle for over 20 years. TAIC is a registered member of the Oracle Support and Development Partner Services Program which allows TAIC to be a part of Oracle's Support and Development Partner Services Program team for escalation management for key and unique projects.

While both companies were committed to the success of this project, Tata has agreed that their company will position KSU as a best-practice example of how a significant and valued project should be implemented. Tata has committed the resources to ensure this promise.

Additionally, Tata has committed to using their relationship with Oracle to ensure that any issues during the implementation of the project will get the highest attention from Oracle for a quicker resolution.

KSU is currently reviewing the Tata contract.
