Executive Administrator and Secretary of the Board Cynthia Quinn announced that the Board Office received and distributed to the board three written testimony; four individuals signed up to give oral testimony. The following individuals provided oral testimony:

1. Adrian Franke, Vice President of the UH Cancer Center Faculty Senate Executive Committee (UHCCFSEC), summarized his written testimony regarding resolutions submitted by UHCCFSEC; support of a new permanent director and delaying of reorganizing the Cancer Research Center until a new, permanent director is in place; and opposition to administrators holding dual Executive/Managerial positions and the proposed reorganization of the John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) and Cancer Research Center.

2. Marguerite Butler, UHM Faculty Senate Executive Committee (UHMFSEC),

summarized her late written testimony regarding UHMFSEC resolutions in opposition to the proposed JABSOM and the Cancer Research Center reorganization, and in support of a task force to study optimal organization to enhance UHM academic quality and function including separation from the UH System.

3. Unhee Lim, UHCCFSEC, summarized her late written testimony regarding

opposition to the proposed merger of JABSOM and the Cancer Research Center and financial plan and data.

4. Kristeen Hanselman, Executive Director of the UH Professional Assembly

(UHPA), provided oral testimony regarding her concern about potential negative impacts of House Bill No. 1625, H.D. 1 and the House version of the budget on research activities, jobs, tenure and bargaining rights under Chapter 89; negative and inaccurate comments in the media about faculty, the union, and collective bargaining processes; and the need for greater collaboration reflected in low marks about the university leadership from focus groups and surveys conducted.

Chair Moore thanked the testifiers for the useful information that will be taken into consideration.

IV. REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT

President Lassner reported on the following news and activities of the month:

1. The public meetings on the new tuition proposal start next week led by VP Dickson that regents will attend.

2. Committees on search advisory have been formed for the UHM and UHWO chancellor positions to begin recruitment as quickly as possible.

3. The decommissioning of the United Kingdom Infra-red Telescope (UKIRT) and the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT), is proceeding according to plan

Page 3: MINUTES BOARD OF REGENTS’ MEETING€¦ · Meeting of the Board of Regents Minutes of March 24, 2016, 2016 - Page 1 of 9 . MINUTES . BOARD OF REGENTS’ MEETING. MARCH 24, 2016

Meeting of the Board of Regents Minutes of March 24, 2016, 2016 - Page 3 of 9

under which UH extended the scientific cooperation agreement to continue operating UKIRT (UH holds lease and owns telescope, and University of Arizona pays the operating costs), with an in place escrow agreement to complete the decommission when it is no longer useful.

4. The Kamehameha Schools (KS) partnership supporting early college programs on three islands was highlighted by UH News video news release on the Maui program, and KS trustees recently approved a new $1 million financial aid pilot project for 100 KS graduates and 25 indigent and orphan students attending UH this fall for four year degree completion programs, that co-funds the full cost of four year attendance and provides an on-site counselor at UHM to support the cohort and all campuses. Land planning for KS and UH continues to synergistically plan the utilization of KS and UH land in areas with common interests, with a second charrette completed for an innovation and educational hub centered in Mōʻiliʻili as a gateway into UHM to promote Native Hawaiian success, and with a target to provide KS trustees with a plan in summer.

5. The 4th Annual Sustainability in Higher Education Summit of community members and representatives of other higher education institutions was held at the East West Center this month focused on implementing the new executive policy on sustainability across operations, curriculum, scholarship, and community engagement. Scholarships to students and faculty from Hawaiian Electric Industries, Johnson Controls and Alaska Airlines were also awarded.

6. The new Information Technology Building received the Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification.

7. The i-Lab opened in the old Building 37 on the UHM campus which provides a space for innovation and entrepreneurship, inspired by Vice Chair Sullivan and her husband.

8. The School of Travel Industry Management (TIM) at UHM was granted continuing accreditation of its Bachelor of Science degree for the maximum 7 year period, and will be celebrating its 50th anniversary next week.

9. The UHH computer science department is sending a student team to the U.S. Microsoft Imagine Cup finals, where they won in 2013 and competed internationally, competing with a program they developed called “Restoring Ecosystems Services Tool” that uses principle components analysis to help land managers support ecosystems that are more fire resistant, more resilient against invasive species, or have more carbon storage (giving ecosystems longer lifespans).

10. The men’s and women’s basketball teams did well at the National Collegiate Athletic Association playoffs, with excellent logistical and fan support, and represented Hawai‘i and exemplified what it means to be great student-athletes.

Report of Host Campus President Lassner yielded for a report of the host campus by Bob Franco, Director of the Office of Institutional Effectiveness, as Chancellor Richards was currently in Japan meeting with EducationUSA, the American Embassy, and representatives of the

Fulbright Program, noting that Kapi‘olani Community College (KapCC) enrolls more lower-division students from Japan than any college or university in the nation. A slide presentation was provided on the status of KapCC 2015-2021 Strategic Plan (4x4 for Hawai‘i’s future), showing some of the outcomes achieved in closing achievement gaps for Native Hawaiian and local income students, and highlighting completion of a draft campus sustainability plan, development of sustainability certificates that align with curricular developments at UHM, UHH and UHWO; increasing community engagement focused on research-based high impact practices gaining traction across the country, as the U.S. Department of Education expects institutions to have these practices in place and show desirable outcomes; reflecting strategies and tactics in commitment statements, and alignment of the comprehensive program review process with the four strategic outcomes and the board-approved Long Range Development Plan. Comments and questions were raised regarding the usefulness of the data and including trends, and status of addressing transferability of credits to the UH TIM program. Director Franco explained how only historical data on gap closing measures are available as a new data system is built on a set of measures beginning in 2015, and will provide trend data going forward. VP Morton added how students interested in the hospitality industry have two distinct paths that provide practical, hands-on education embedded in the associate degree program with an alternative advanced certificate, and the option to continue to pathways a for fourth year at UWHO. Discussions still continue with UHM TIM regarding other possible pathways for students.

V. COMMITTEE REPORTS A. Report from the Committee on Academic and Student Affairs

Committee Chair Putnam summarized the committee report attached to these minutes (Attachment 1).

Regent Matayoshi indicated she would continue to abstain from voting on any new

degree program until administration provides the board an opportunity for meaningful input at a strategic level, taking into account system-wide priorities and budgetary implications. Comments and questions were raised recognizing the BBA-A and MAT program proposals were for renaming/rebranding of existing programs; new provisional program proposals including an analysis of job opportunities available in the state; providing the board an annual/semi-annual report on the number of degree programs at each campus, how many provisional/established programs are approved every year, and the number of program terminations that occur every year, with connections included on budgetary/fiscal implications and facilities.

Administration explained how job opportunities analysis is contained in the current

Page 5: MINUTES BOARD OF REGENTS’ MEETING€¦ · Meeting of the Board of Regents Minutes of March 24, 2016, 2016 - Page 1 of 9 . MINUTES . BOARD OF REGENTS’ MEETING. MARCH 24, 2016

Meeting of the Board of Regents Minutes of March 24, 2016, 2016 - Page 5 of 9

program proposals, and will be better highlighted going forward and STAR online system will provide students with job data and opportunities for various programs starting in Fall 2016, including opportunities for students with a broad liberal arts education that may not lead to a specific career; and that an annual report containing all the information on programs and terminations is provided to the regents, and a copy of the previous report be sent to all regents for feedback on additional information preferred. No additional comments or questions from the board were raised. B. Report from the Committee on Personnel Affairs

Committee Chair Matayoshi summarized the committee report attached to these minutes (Attachment 2). No additional comments or questions from the board were raised.

VI. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION & APPROVAL A. For Action

1. By Consent Agenda

a. Approval of Provisional to Established Programs: 1. Bachelor’s of Business Administration (BBA-A) in Accounting,

College of Business and Economics, University of Hawai‘i at Hilo 2. Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) Degree Program, School of

Education in the College of Arts and Sciences, University of Hawai‘i at Hilo

Regent Mizuno moved to recommend board approval of the provisional to established status of the BBA-A, College of Business & Economics, UHH, and the MAT degree program, School of Education in the College of Arts & Sciences, UHH, seconded by Regent Wilson, and the motion carried by unanimous vote except for Regent Matayoshi who abstained.

2. University of Hawai‘i System: a. Approval to Indemnify Research Sponsors, Smithsonian Astrophysical

Observatory (SAO) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)

VP Syrmos requested board approval to indemnify Research Sponsors, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as proposed. Regent Bal so moved, seconded by Vice Chair Sullivan. A question was raised regarding measuring the degree of risk for activities at the Maunakea Science Reserve. It was explained that the risk assessment was low to zero because no experiments would be performed and activity limited to only data gathering, analysis, and

Page 6: MINUTES BOARD OF REGENTS’ MEETING€¦ · Meeting of the Board of Regents Minutes of March 24, 2016, 2016 - Page 1 of 9 . MINUTES . BOARD OF REGENTS’ MEETING. MARCH 24, 2016

Meeting of the Board of Regents Minutes of March 24, 2016, 2016 - Page 6 of 9

recommendations of observational parameters to telescope operators not employed by UH to maximize the research value from observations. This indemnification language is a standard requirement of federal agencies. Having no further discussion, and a seconded motion on the table, the motion was put to a vote and carried unanimously. At this time, the board presented lei to Regent Sullivan and Regent Higaki, to recognize their reappointment by Governor Ige and confirmation by the state senate for new five year terms, respectively. B. For Information

1. Legislative Update on Bills, Operating, and Capital Improvement Projects

Budget Proposals VP Young provided an updated handout (Attachment 3) on legislative bills, operating, and capital improvement projects (CIP) budget proposals to the Legislature, revised to reflect status of legislation as of this morning. Highlights included how upon the Second Lateral deadline for all bills to move to the final committee before the deadline or fail, the House Draft 1 of the Supplemental Operating budget has no semblance to either the executive or UH proposed budget requests except for $1.25 million for the community colleges equipment funds and instead reduces general fund cash to UHM by $45 million, and to John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) by $5 million, and replaces those cash funds with N (federal) funds, which is a ceiling appropriation and not cash, essentially eliminating $50 million in operational funds for these two units and reallocates the $50 million into System to address deferred maintenance (DM). The $50 million reduction reduces research funding, under the belief of the House Higher Education chair that research units could develop their own funding to be self-sustainable, which administration does not believe this method will work and instead have dire consequences for the prospect of research for UH and the state. Administration will work to revise the bill when the Senate takes up the budget, and notes that the same loss of general funds and supplanting of N funds is a major issue in the UH, and with as other state departments as well. The budget provisos also have operative issues that administration will address with the senate. It was reported that $140 million of capital improvement projects (CIP) additions were made to the House version of the budget, of which, only three of the requests match to the regent’s proposed budget, with the remainder being legislative add-ons and not specific projects pursued by UH. The lump sum funding approach for capital improvements is progressing, with community colleges being the overall biggest benefactor in the current version of the budget. Items of significance include that lump sum funding approach for $15 million of capital improvements for UHM Athletics Facilities, and UHWO Administration & Allied Health Building reduced an $18 million

Page 7: MINUTES BOARD OF REGENTS’ MEETING€¦ · Meeting of the Board of Regents Minutes of March 24, 2016, 2016 - Page 1 of 9 . MINUTES . BOARD OF REGENTS’ MEETING. MARCH 24, 2016

Meeting of the Board of Regents Minutes of March 24, 2016, 2016 - Page 7 of 9

appropriation of what was a $24 million appropriation in the current biennium budget to satisfy a current EB-5 loan obligation. The House also included a $10 million lum sum appropriation for minor CIP at the community colleges, and $60 million for System capital renewal & deferred maintenance (CRDM), for the regents’ request for $130 million in CRDM, the net result of that would be UH would not have to cover the capital renewal for UHM athletics or the CRDM for community colleges with the $60 million. None of the UH administration bills submitted as part of the Governor’s package to the Legislature survived earlier deadlines, except Senate Bill No. 2971, House Draft 1, repealing a sunset date for the Kuali Financial System that is still palatable. The tech transfer bills have been very difficult to move through the House, despite certain parts of the Legislature that are very agreeable to it. The bill requesting authorization to issue $100 million in revenue bonds did not survive an earlier deadline, so administration will work on a different approach with the Senate for authority. Other bills of attention are not UH or administration package bills, but have significant negative impact or consequence for the university requiring additional energy and resources to work with the Legislature to oppose or modify, include initiatives to support athletics by creating a separate program ID for UHM athletics and creating various funding via transfer across other program IDs to fund UHM athletics, or additional funding sources via transfer across other program IDs to fund UHM athletics, and how has a more preferred language from Senate Bill No. 83 providing $3 million in appropriated funding to athletics at the university taken from the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority budget, that may not pass to the second lateral deadline, and House Bill No. 1556 that prohibited the university from having a policy preventing the university from hiring elected officials or current UH employees from becoming candidates for elected office, that now has an effective date of July 1, 2091, which is a legislative strategy to make the bill defective to force it to be heard in conference committee. The majority of remaining bills UH opposed has been deferred but could potentially be resurrected in some other form later this session, requiring UH to remain diligent in tracking. Favorable bills include Senate Bill No. 2690 that amends the excise tax on cigarettes and little cigars that could increase the tax revenue that comes into the Cancer Center fund, and Senate Bill No. 2691 regulating electronic smoking devices and e-liquids has a tax component that could correspond to the Cigarette Tax or Tobacco Tax and result in favorable tax revenue implications for the Cancer Center fund. A number of resolutions are proposed that do not have the effect of law but do signal strong intent of the Legislature if passed relate to audits of various components of the university, and that UH does oppose because the outcome would validate the good work of UH, provides best practices, as well as identify areas where better practices could be deployed, so administration will continue to monitor these resolutions. The Senate Ways & Means Committee will hear the budget bill next week, and by the April 14 crossover deadline the university will know which bills the House and Senate disagree on, and the notification of conferees will be issued. The government relations team will be tracking legislation and participating in discussions with

Page 8: MINUTES BOARD OF REGENTS’ MEETING€¦ · Meeting of the Board of Regents Minutes of March 24, 2016, 2016 - Page 1 of 9 . MINUTES . BOARD OF REGENTS’ MEETING. MARCH 24, 2016

Meeting of the Board of Regents Minutes of March 24, 2016, 2016 - Page 8 of 9

legislators, especially those bills the university needs to terminate or amend. The conference committee process is not public, and meetings are not subject to Sunshine Law, no testimony accepted, and may result in a version that was never discussed. The Legislature concludes on May 5, and the expectation is the university will know the final results of bills by Final Decking on April 29, which is prior to starting discussions on the university’s budget plan for FY17. All campuses and units will start constructing their budgets including spending plans for general fund appropriations. It was noted that the work of the government relations teams and campuses and concerted and focused approach has been well received at the Legislature, and resulted in much more favorable outcomes for the university this year. Comments and questions were raised regarding concerns about bills impacting research, alternative tuition approach if no bond funding authority is authorized; House Bill No. 1625 requiring the board to decide programming and salary funding requirements for Organized Research Units (ORUs) that has drawn the attention of the research community, the implications on research should this pass, and what happens if the bill does not make the Second Lateral deadline; whether comments by testifiers regarding the Cancer Center having previously operated in the positive was accurate; if research faculty at other institutions are required to bring in a portion of their salaries through extramural funds; concern about viability and cost effectiveness of engaging in different types of research, how much money is appropriated, a having some distinction between research that costs money and research that offsets operating costs; whether House Bill No. 2036 is related to TMT; House Bill No. 2413 gives UH authority to issue revenues bonds, and since the current tuition proposal is premised on revenue bond authority that it does not look like the Legislature is inclined to give, will that change the structure of the current tuition proposal. It was explained how a number of proposed legislation has multiple fiscal and management components that severely impact the university’s research enterprise, including cancer research and astronomy, and fails to recognize or accept that every research enterprise is subsidized in some way, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and has great opposition by the research community and is expected to fail but is being closely watched. Regarding the Cancer Center, UH needs to review and assess how strategies at other institutions could potentially be implemented at UH, such as requiring faculty to bring in a portion of their salary with extramural funds to reduce the amount of subsidies. It was explained how research is like educating students, which is done for the common good, promotes university legitimacy, attracts talent that makes UHM one of the premier research institutions in the world, and attracts good students. Administration suggested this be an agenda item at a future meeting of the Committee on Research & Innovation to discuss federal contracts and grants. Administration explained how it remains optimistic about possible revenue bond authority, and that there are other means to get UH this authority through other bills or

Page 9: MINUTES BOARD OF REGENTS’ MEETING€¦ · Meeting of the Board of Regents Minutes of March 24, 2016, 2016 - Page 1 of 9 . MINUTES . BOARD OF REGENTS’ MEETING. MARCH 24, 2016

Meeting of the Board of Regents Minutes of March 24, 2016, 2016 - Page 9 of 9

other financing approaches such as financing debt and because financing would not be required for another year, administration is planning a legislative recap to review measures that passed the Legislature, including the budget, to begin the process administration needs to for the budget proposals for regents approval for FY17. The board recognized how the new approach and strategy was more cohesive, managed, and monitored approach than in previous years and by VP Young and the UH team and a marked improvement in terms of rapport with the Legislature, especially with the engagement of regents and staff and the openness and transparency of the university.

VII. ANNOUNCEMENTS Chair Moore announced that the next board meeting is April 21, 2016 at Honolulu Community College.

VIII. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, Regent Tagorda moved to adjourn, and Regent Mizuno seconded, and with unanimous approval, the meeting was adjourned at 12:14 p.m.

Respectfully Submitted, /S/ Cynthia Quinn Executive Administrator and Secretary of the Board of Regents

Committee on Academic and Student Affairs Meeting of March 9, 2016 Topic Discussion Follow Up Action

1 For information: Workforce Development

Vice President Morton presented an overview of the efforts underway to develop better workforce intelligence among multiple agencies, including UH, the DOE, government agencies (e.g. DBEDT, DLIR) and private sector organizations (e. g. Business Roundtable, Chamber of Commerce, industry associations) and employers, to support current and future students in identifying career goals and effective pathways to employment. While the initiative is being led by the Community Colleges with grant support that has a STEM focus, the outcome will encompass all campuses and programs systemwide. Responding to existing demands is important but the intent is to position the University to be more proactive, better able to anticipate needs, and in a position to be a partner in guiding economic development of the state. Work is well underway on expanding the STAR system to display the Hawaii economy by demand in sectors (with various smaller breakdowns), with completion anticipated by the end of this calendar year. Ultimately, faculty will be key participants in relating this information to program reviews and action proposals. Overall, Committee members were impressed by the breadth and depth of the effort and the level of accomplishment and thanked VP Morton for his leadership and asked him to convey appreciation to all involved.

Schedule a substantive presentation to the full Board next spring.

Committee will continue discussion on how this project will be implemented systemwide and how to incorporate the information in our planning processes.

2 For information: Status on Board Policy Amendments Regarding Programs with Low Numbers of Graduates

Consultation is underway and nearly complete. The Committee will discuss amendments to Board Policy at the next meeting.

3 For action: Provisional to Established Status of Bachelor of Science (BS) in Marine Biology, College of Natural Sciences, University of Hawaii at Manoa

Item deferred Committee will consider the proposal at the next meeting.

4 For action: Provisional to Established Status of Bachelors of Business Administration (BBA-A) in

Responding to concerns identified by industry, the program uses existing faculty and courses, so that graduates have a designated degree in accounting. There is high student demand for the program, with a high number of Hawaii Community College transfers, and graduates readily find employment.

Committee approved unanimously and item will be on consent agenda.

Accounting, College of Business and Economics, University of Hawaii at Hilo

5 For action: Provisional to Established Status of Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT), School of Education in the College of Arts and Sciences, University of Hawaii at Hilo

The program responds to teacher shortages on Hawaii island and is open to students with baccalaureate or higher degrees in an appropriate subject field. After a full year of course work, students are prepared for teacher certification, and can complete the remainder of the program while employed. The degree replaces a MEdT hybrid program offered by the College of Education at Manoa, which was not fully responsive to student needs. UH-Hilo also offers teacher preparation through the MA in Indigenous Language and Culture Education, offered by Ka Haka `Ula Ke`elikolani College of Hawaiian Language. Instruction for this MA is delivered entirely in Hawaiian.

Committee approved unanimously and item will be on consent agenda.

6 For action: Provisional to Established Status of Associate in Science (ASVT) in Veterinary Technology, Windward Community College

Item deferred Committee will consider the proposal at the next meeting.

9.212 and Executive/Managerial Salary Schedule

VP Gouveia presented on the status of work on a new salary schedule and policy for executive managerial salaries. Data was gathered both internally and the highest ranges were plotted against CUPA and local market data for public institutions only. The results showed reasonable trend and natural groupings, not as dispersed as expected and revealed areas that need to be rationalized, but data shows UH low in number and salary relative to peers, with some outliers that has amplified public perception. Verification of underlying data is needed to ensure accuracy, need to improve transparency, publicity, address government salary disparity. The outcome is likely to be a two part schedule for academic and nonacademic positions. The work is ongoing, and will be presented using a lower scale on graphs for easier reading, and based on guiding principles, eg. Transparency, fairness, etc.

To provide a draft at the next meeting. Send further questions or data to chair to be addressed at the next meeting.
