to set requirements for membership that are consistent with the RSO's
purpose and mission.

Policy Statement
The University recognizes the role which organized activities serve in enhancing the educational experience
of the members of the University community. Intellectual and personal growth takes place in student
organizations which have effective leaders and effective members. Students are encouraged to participate in
the programs provided by these organizations, and the staff of the University serves to assist student
organizations in their programs.
It is essential however, that the lines of authority and responsibility be clearly established. In the area of
Registered Student Organizations (RSOs), the University strongly supports the notion of student governance.
It is clear however that some organizations enjoy more authority to choose their membership, leadership, use
of funding, etc. than others. In those cases, where more autonomy is granted, more responsibility must also
be accepted by the group.
As a consequence, it is essential that the relationship between the University and Registered Student
Organizations be articulated and clearly understood. This policy is designed to provide such guidance.
to be consistent with the United States Supreme Court decision of
This policy was amended on
Christian Legal Society v. Martinez. 130 S. Ct. 2971 (2010&gt;. The University respects the rights of RSOs to
set requirements for membership that are consistent with the RSO's purpose and mission.

All members of the EKU community as well as those outside the University which may be affiliated or conduct
business with such groups.

Policy Background
There are times when the activities and/or behaviors of RSOs can cause question as to the relationship
between the University and these student organizations. Presently there is a formalized registration policy for
all RSOs; however, this does not adequately outline the relationship between these groups and the
University. There are often misconceptions regarding the role and responsibility of the University for these
RSOs. In the Fall of 2009, the Division of Student Affairs and the University Counsel's Office conducted a
scan to understand the way in which other universities structure this relationship. As a result of this scan,
this policy was developed as a best practice for Eastern Kentucky University.

Information Agenda

A.

Financial Update
Barry Poynter, Vice President for Finance and Administration and Treasurer, presented the
financial update as of March 31, 2014. Compared with the prior year, overall revenues
are up by approximately $6.9 million. Education &amp; General revenues are up by $6.6
million primarily due to increased revenues in online tuition. Auxiliary revenues are up by
about $754 thousand.
Overall expenditures through March 31, 2014, compared with the prior year, are up by
approximately $6.2 million. Education &amp; General expenditures have increased in the
areas of Student Services, Institutional Support, and Operations &amp; Maintenance of Plant,
primarily due to the various capital projects that are currently underway and being funded
with the uncommitted fund balance. Also reflected in the increased expenditures for the
year are expenses related to the Voluntary Buyout Plan and the pedway lease. Auxiliary
expenditures are up by approximately $1.2 million primarily due to increased debt service
payments.
On a net basis, Education and General funds are ahead of the prior year by approximately
$1.1 million while Auxiliary funds are trailing by approximately $400 thousand.
Lastly, tracking the total overall revenue and expenditures for both years as a percent of
budget indicates that through March 31, 2014, both revenue and expenditures are in line
with the budget.

�B. Colonels Comply Initiative &amp; Proposed changes to the Board Bylaws

Dr. Judy Spain, EKU University Counsel introduced the Colonels Comply Initiative. The
mission statement for this initiative is as follows: The EKU's Colonels Comply is dedicated
to furthering EKU's mission and strategic plan by proactively partnering faculty, staff, and
administration to promote an institutional culture of compliance by effectively identifying,
prioritizing, and managing potential violations of law, regulation, and University policy and
procedure and effectively establishing a control environment that reflects the legal and
regulatory scheme in which the University is obligated to operate.
Dr. Spain was available for discussion &amp; questions. Dr. Spain stated there would be an
ethics hotline in place this year and the code of ethics would be reevaluated. Mrs. Craig
asked if this would replace the earlier proposed Whistleblower Policy. Dr. Spain advised it
would not and that there would be a Whistleblower Policy or something similar added in
the future.
The committee recommended that all policies be brought back to the Finance and
Planning Committee for prior review.
Mrs. Craig noted the need for review of the Compliance Committee to ensure there is
adequate student, staff and faculty representation.
Mrs. Miller asked ifthere would be training. Dr. Spain stated yes.
Mrs. Craig noted some items that were struck in the by-laws were not carried over to the
new audit committee. Dr. Spain acknowledged that error and assured it would be
corrected.
The details of the Colonel Comply Initiative, PowerPoint presentation &amp; draft changes to
the EKU Board of Regents By-laws are referenced in the April 14, 2014 BoR Agenda pages
31-57.

�2. Madison County Extended Jurisdiction Agreement (cont.)
Mr. Barry Poynter stated that all state universities in Kentucky except three (EKU, KSU &amp;
UK) have an extended jurisdiction agreement.
Mr. Welker was available for discussion and questions. Mrs. Craig clarified that if local
police called upon EKU Police, the EKU Police could assist, if the EKU Police had the
resources. Mr. Welker stated that is correct. Mr. Welker also clarified EKU Police would
not be patrolling 1-75.
Mr. Welker also stated that this is a one (1) -year extended jurisdiction agreement. After
one year, a report will be brought back to the Board. However, if there are problems
before the year is up, the policy would be stopped and brought back to the board.
Mr. Fulkerson asked if our officers receive comparable or better training than other
officers. Mr. Welker stated our officers receive the same training as all other counties
at our Department of Criminal Justice &amp; Training.
Mr. Craig asked ifthere were any liability issues and will this affect our premiums. Mr.
Welker stated this policy decreases liability and does not affect our premiums.
With there be no further discussion or questions, a motion was made to approve the
Madison County Extended Jurisdiction Agreement.

between board meetings, the university deems it necessary to pursue acquisition of, or
to surplus, real property, this authorizes the President to do so during the interim.
Mrs. Craig asked if there was a resolution. Dr. Spain stated no, but one can be created.
Mrs. Craig requested a resolution be made.
There being no further discussion or questions. A motion was made to approve the
Request for Delegation of Authority to Pursue Acquisition of, or to Surplus, Real

�B. Proposed Meal Plan Rates for 2014-15
Mrs. Karen Neubauer presented the Proposed Meal Plan Rates for 2014-15. For the
upcoming year, EKU's meal plan rates will increase by an overall average of 2.5%. She
stated that EKU's meal plan rates are right in the middle of other university's meal plan
rates. She also stated that this rate increase is consistent with the CPIIndex, which is
projected to increase by 2% - 3% overall.

C. Proposed Tuition Rates for 2014-15
Mrs. Karen Neubauer presented the Proposed Tuition Rates for 2014-2015. The Council
on Post-Secondary Education (CPE) has announced a tuition ceiling of 5% for resident
undergraduate students at state comprehensive and research institutions. EKU will
implement the 5% increase for resident undergraduate students. For non-resident
undergraduate students, the rate will be at least twice the residential rate.
Per semester, the proposed resident undergraduate rate for 2014-15 is $3,960, which is
slightly above the 5% parameter. Mrs. Neubauer said she is working with CPE to continue
our practice of rounding to the whole dollar. She also noted that graduate rates do not
have to adhere to the parameter set by CPE, but in discussion with the Dean of Graduate
School, agreement has been made to increase graduate tuition by 4.4%. Tim Matthews,
Executive Director of e-Campus, suggested no increase in the on-line rates so as not to
impact the level of enrollment.
Mrs. Neubauer mentioned the new non-mandatory athletic fee of $50 that will apply to
students attending the Richmond campus and taking 5 credit hours or more.
Mr. Fulkerson stated a need for discussion about getting approval from CPE to increase
tuition. Mrs. Neubauer stated EKU would need to change its tuition structure. She also
stated Morehead has backed off their change to a per credit hour model. Mrs. Neubauer
also stated she has contracted with research groups to look at different tuition models, but
noted no changes would occur this year.
Mrs. Craig stated we needed to look at student loans and to keep that in mind when looking
at models.

D. Proposed Resident Hall Rates for 2014-15
Mrs. Neubauer presented the Proposed Resident Hall Rates for 2014-15. She stated the
rates would increase by 5% which is consistent with housing the past five (5) years. She
noted two (2) residence halls will go off-line: Commonwealth and Combs and announced
two (2) new living and teaming committees: Sullivan and Burnam.
Mrs. Neubauer was available for discussion and questions. There being no further
discussion or questions, a motion was made to approve items B-D.

Motion Passed: passed with a motion by Steven Fulkerson and a second by David Tandy.
Motion passed by voice vote.
The approved documents are included in the April14, 2014 Board of Regents Official
Minutes and are referenced in the April14, 2014 Agenda on pages 81-90.

E. 2014 Spring Semester Payroll On &amp; Off campus for Part-Time Faculty and Laboratory
Assistants &amp; Addendums to the Fall 2013 On &amp; Off campus Part-Time Faculty &amp; Laboratory
Assistants

item, it has been pulled out of the Personnel Actions item for Board approval.
There being no further discussion or questions, a motion was made to approve item E.

Motion Passed: passed with a motion by Steven Fulkerson and a second by David Tandy.
The motion passed by voice vote.
The approved documents are included in the April14, 2014 Board of Regents Official

Action Agenda

I.

Colonels Comply Initiative, proposed changes to the Board Bylaws, and
proposed Audit and Compliance Charter

II.

Issue
Implementation of a comprehensive compliance initiative enables the University
to more effectively conduct operations and activities ethically; with the highest
level of integrity, and in compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
Eastern Kentucky University does not presently have a comprehensive
compliance program.
Adoption of this comprehensive compliance initiative necessitates a change to
the Board of Regents Bylaws and the adoption of the Audit and Compliance
Charter.

Ill.

Background
EKU's Colonels Comply is dedicated to furthering EKU's mission and strategic plan
by proactively partnering faculty, staff, and administration to promote an
institutional culture of compliance by effectively identifying, prioritizing, and
managing potential violations of law, regulation, and University policy and
procedure and effectively establishing a control environment that reflects the
legal, ethical and regulatory scheme in which the University is both expected and
obligated to operate.
The collaborative committee structure, with strong support from the Board of
Regents and President, will assist the University in developing compliance
policies, procedures, and codes that are clear, concise, and accessible to all
University constituencies; including how the University will execute,
communicate, implement, and monitor the compliance measures; incorporating
the concept of compliance into applicable job descriptions; and holding persons
accountable for compliance.

IV.

Alternatives
The alternative is to not approve the Colonels Comply initiative which would
result in a less effective compliance initiative.

V.

President's Recommendation
The President recommends approval of the Colonels Comply initiative, the
revisions to the Board of Regents Bylaw changes, and the adoption of the Audit
and Compliance Charter.

Regents and President.
Colonels Comply will be implemented and monitored, will be provided adequate
administrative autonomy, and will be provided adequate resources to address
compliance matters.
The committees formed to implement Colonels Comply will be vested with sufficient
authority to implement, assess, and monitor the program.
Perform an assessment to determine the University's compliance risk profile so that
compliance resources, efforts and staff can be devoted to the most significant
compliance risks (and which avoids the University using a disproportionate amount of
time monitoring low compliance risk areas).
Develop or purchase technological too1s or resources that can assist the University with
gathering data, monitoring compliance efforts, and measuring the effectiveness of
policies and procedures.
Tailor the compliance education and training program to meet the specific needs of
University constituencies.
Communicate a clear and consistent message concerning the University's compliance
expectations from the University President and Board of Regents to University
constituencies.
Actively encourage compliance through positive reinforcement by providing proactive
assistance !3y-through Colonels Comply committees; stress that compliance will lessen
and not increase employee workload.
Develop compliance policies, procedures, and codes that are clear, concise, and
accessible to all University constituencies; include how the University will execute,
communicate, implement, and monitor the compliance measures; incorporate the
concept of compliance into applicable job descriptions; and hold persons accountable
for compliance.

While each faculty member may not be actively involved in al! three areas of a standard workload at
any given time. the collective participation of the faculty in all areas is necessary to assure that goals
essential to all aspects of the University mission are achieved. The unigue requirements of each
academic component, as well as the specialized interests. abilities. and qualifications of individual
faculty members. necessitate a flexible system for determining individual faculty assignments that
will accommodate this diversity.
~8. The workload assignments shall be made in such a way as to advance the mission of the University
and institutional considerations, such as student instructional needs. student credit hour production,
accreditation requirements. sponsored research commitments, and resource constraints.

Overloads

Teaching overloads are not permitted for full-time faculty except in emergency situations where student
needs are not being met In such casesemergoncies, no more than one dass (or three-hour equivalent)
overload will be permitted each semester for the l\ugust 15 May 15 period (fall and spring semesters}. No

Awarding Incomplete Grades
Policy Statement
When a student has extenuating circumstances that impede him/her from completing a course. an incomplete
grade may be awarded. The incomplete grade cannot be used simply because a student has failed to
complete the work in the course or as a means of raising the student's grade by doing additional work after
the grade report time. An Incomplete Grade~ Agreement may be initiated by a student
(undergraduate and graduate) or faculty member prior to the last day of class when a student wishes to
pursue an incomplete grade. If the instructor agrees that the student has extenuating circumstances beyond
his/her tJ:le4: control and the instructor he or she agrees to assign an incomplete grade, the instructor will
identify on the Incomplete Grade Agreement~ all outstanding assignments

Proposal

PART I
A.

Centrality to the Institution's Mission and Consistency with State's Goals

1.

Provide a brief description of the program. Describe any tracks (if undergraduate), concentration (if
master's), or specializations (if doctorate).

The Doctor ofPsychology degree (Psy.D.) is an applied doctoral degree designed to prepare clinical
psychology practitioners. The program is based on the practitioner-scholar training model for clinical
practice. This model, endorsed by the National Council of Schools ofProfessional Psychology
(NCSPP), places an emphasis on training clinical psychology practitioners who are sophisticated
consumers of research and who ground their practice in the empirical research literature. The program
is designed to train students in each of the seven core competencies specified by the NCSPP:
Relationship Competency
•
Assessment Competency
Intervention Competency
• Research and Evaluation Competency
Consultation and Education Competency
Management and Supervision Competency
Diversity
The proposed Psy.D. program at Eastern Kentucky University will include a high quality curriculum
that meets the accreditation standards of the American Psychological Association and will require 121
credit-hours of course work in the theory and practice ofpsychology, extensive practicum experience,
and a year-long full-time clinical internship. There will be a programmatic focus on preparing
practitioners to work in rural communities. The curriculum will provide opportunities for specialized
training in substance abuse, mental health administration, school-based mental health, and working with
traditionally underserved populations including veterans and their families, adults and children with
developmental disabilities, and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. Additional specialized
training opportunities will include forensic psychology and applied behavior analysis.
2.

3.

Offer affordable and accessible doctoral education to Kentuckians.
Contribute to EKU's vision of achieving national distinction and address the priorities for postsecondary
education in Kentucky set forth by the CPE.

Explain how the objectives support the institutional mission and strategic priorities, the statewide postsecondary
education strategic agenda, and the statewide strategic implementation plan.

The proposed program is consistent with EKU's mission as a comprehensive public institution to prepare students to
lead productive, responsible, and enriched lives. This mission is accomplished by emphasizing I) student success,
2) regional stewardship, and 3) critical and creative thinking and effective communication.
I: Student Success: The program will prepare students for a career in professional psychology by offering rigorous
training that meets the accreditation standards of the American Psychological Association. The emphasis on rural
mental health will be attractive to students in our region who wish to learn advanced clinical skills and remain in the
Commonwealth. Each year between eight and ten graduates of our current M.S. Clinical Psychology program go on
to doctoral programs (typically Psy.D. programs). Most have ties to Kentucky and would welcome the opportunity
to earn a doctorate at EKU. A recent survey ofPsychology majors at EKU revealed that nearly 80% anticipate
going on to graduate school. A number of these students either wish to pursue graduate work locally or are place
bound and thus unable to leave the region. Offering the Psy.D. degree at EKU will serve these students.
2: Regional Stewardship: The Psy.D. program will support EKU's commitment to regional stewardship in two ways.
First, graduates of the program will help meet the critical need for trained mental health professionals in service
region and other rural areas of the Commonwealth. According to the US Department ofHealth and Human Services
and the American Psychological Association, there is a chronic and severe shortage of psychologists and other
behavioral healthcare providers (especially those trained at the doctoral level) in rural U.S. counties. This is a
significant problem in the EKU service region. The specialization in rural mental health will prepare graduates to
work in the areas experiencing the greatest need for mental health services. In addition, the program will increase
the number of qualified doctoral-level supervisors required by Kentucky law to oversee the practice of master'slevel psychologists. The scarcity of doctoral-level supervisors has been a significant problem for rural mental health
agencies for many years.
Second, the doctoral program will allow the Psychology Department to expand mental health services currently
offered through the EKU Psychology Clinic. The Clinic provides affordable, evidence-based services to adults,
children, and families in the EKU service region and beyond. These services are currently being provided by
students in the Clinical M.S. and School Psy.S. degree programs. The presence of doctoral-level students
(particularly those beyond year two in the program), working under the supervision of the faculty, will provide the
resources to offer more extensive and advanced mental health services to the community.
3: Critical and Creative Thinking and Effective Communication: The Psy.D. program will focus on the
development of Critical and Creative Thinking and Effective Communication. These skills are necessary for the
effective delivery of mental health services. Students will learn these skills in their clinical assessment and
treatment courses (e.g., Intellectual Assessment, Personality Assessment, Psychotherapy and Behavior Change,
among others). Moreover, the clinical practicum/internship experiences will afford students to apply these skills in
supervised applied settings. For example, students will learn to analyze client problems (e.g., presenting complaints
that bring them into treatment), synthesize various sources of clinical data (e.g., interview data, records, and
psychological test results), while developing conceptualizations of the client and appropriate treatment plans. These
skills are crucial for ethical and responsible clinical practice and will be emphasized in every component of the
Clinical Psychology program.
The proposed program also supports the statewide postsecondary education strategic agenda. First, the program
supports CPE Strategy 6.5: "Advance Kentucky's STEM+ H agenda through ongoing leadership, advocacy, and
collaborative efforts" (Stronger by Degrees). Because mental health is vital to the overall health of the

97

�Board of Regents
CAA Agenda P. 15
June 9, 2014

Commonwealth, increasing the capacity for doctorally-trained mental health professions will advance Kentucky's
STEM+ H agenda. Second, the program supports CPE Strategy 7.2: "Support collaborations among
postsecondary education providers to serve regional needs and planning efforts to raise the educational attainment
level of the Commonwealth." As noted elsewhere in this proposal, EKU will seek ways to collaborate with WKU
should they begin a Psy.D. program. Both programs will serve regional needs and raise the educational attainment
level of the Commonwealth. The selective recruitment and admissions process will reflect the University's
commitment to creating a diverse student body and increasing the diversity of the workforce in rural mental health
settings. This is consistent with CPE Strategy 4.7. ("Implement a statewide diversity policy that recognizes
diversity as a vital component of the state's educational and economic development"). Third, the program
supports CPE Strategy 7.1: "Strengthen and expand partnerships with business, industry, government, non-profit,
and other educational entities to meet Kentucky's workforce and community needs." Jamie S. Burton, Chief
Executive Office ofThe Adanta Group, noted in a letter dated October 11,2013, "The Adanta Group supports
Eastern Kentucky University's interest in developing a Doctorate program in Clinical Psychology. As evidenced in
the recent study by Deloitte and commissioned by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services, there is a
need for more licensed behavioral health professionals, including doctoral prepared psychologists, throughout the
state. The need is also particular to rural areas in Kentucky, which includes the Lake Cumberland region The
Adanta Group serves, providing mental health and substance." EKU's program will strengthen our partnerships
with businesses like The Adanta Group to meet Kentucky's workforce and community needs. Finally, the
proposed program will support CPE Strategy 7.3: "Maximize the impact of postsecondary education's contribution
to improving the health of Kentucky's people." By increasing the number of doctorally-prepared mental health
professionals, particularly in rural areas of the state, we will be maximizing the impact of postsecondary
education's contribution to improving the health ofKentucky's people.

Quality and Student Success

What are the intended student learning outcomes of the proposed program?

The National Council of Schools of Professional Psychology (NCSPP) emphasizes doctoral training clinical
psychology practitioners who are sophisticated consumers of research and who ground their practice in the empirical
research literature. Student learning outcomes of the proposed program were designed to capture all seven of the
core competency areas ofNCSPP (Relationship Competency, Assessment Competency, Intervention Competency,
Research and Evaluation Competency, Consultation and Education Competency, Management and Supervision
Competency, Diversity). Indeed, graduates of the Psy.D. program will demonstrate an ability to do each of the
following:
1.

2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Develop and maintain a constructive working alliance by working collaboratively with peers, colleagues,
students, supervisors, members of other disciplines, consumers of services, and community organizations
(NCSPP Competency: Relationship)
Conduct a comprehensive psychological assessment, synthesizing various sources of clinical data in order
to use the results to diagnose children and adults (NCSPP Competency: Assessment)
Synthesize and integrate assessment results and information in the professional literature to develop an
effective, empirically supported intervention (NCSPP Competency: Intervention, Research/Evaluation)
Use appropriate methodologies to determine the effectiveness of interventions for the purposes of outcome
assessment (NCSPP Competency: Intervention, Research)
Implement evidence-based interventions with children, adults, couples, families, and groups. (NCSPP
Competency: Intervention)
Consult with other mental health, healthcare, and education professionals (NCSPP Competency:
Consultation/Education)

98

7.

Understand the dynamics of effective and ethical supervision, both as a student and eventual supervisor.
Graduates of the program will be able to provide supervision of master's level psychologists (NCSPP
Competency: Management and Supervision)
8. IdentifY and understand issues of individual and cultural difference, and issues of power, privilege and
oppression that informs and influences all professional functions and activities, including assessment,
conceptualization, intervention, consultation and evaluation approaches (NCSPP Competency: Diversity)
9. Tailor assessment and treatment procedures to residents of rural communities and other targeted patient
populations (e.g., individuals with developmental disabilities and those who are deaf or hard of hearing)
(NCSPP Competency: Intervention, Diversity)
I 0. Evaluate different research methodologies used to demonstrate evidence-based practice of psychology.
Graduates of the program will understand research methodology and statistics so as to allow them to
critically evaluate published research, apply psychological research to clinical practice, and conduct
research in applied clinical settings (e.g., program evaluation, outcome research in practice). (NCSPP
Competency: Research and Evaluation)
11. Engage in rigorous, critical, and disciplined thought as he or she acquires, organizes, and evaluates clinical
information. Graduates of our program will utilize critical and analytical thinking in order to integrate
clinical observations with self-reflection and current knowledge from the field of psychology. (NCSPP
Competency: Research and Evaluation).
12. Practice in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and professional standards

2.

Identify both the direct and indirect methods by which the intended student learning outcomes will be assessed.

Students' academic and professional development and their progress toward achieving competency in each of the
seven National Council of Schools ofProfessional Psychology (NCSPP) core areas will be assessed using a variety
of methods at multiple points throughout the program. Formal evaluation methods will include:
•

•
•
•

3.

Annual Faculty Evaluation meetings during which course grades, practicum evaluations, students' selfevaluations, faculty observations, research supervisor evaluations, portfolio materials, and evidence of
satisfactory progress toward professional development will be reviewed (SLO: 1-12)
Comprehensive/Qualifying Exam (completed at the end of the second year, prior to receiving the M.S.
degree) (SLO: 2-5, 8-12)
Clinical Portfolio (documenting progress toward demonstrating the seven competencies) (SLO: 1-12)
Students will be required to complete a Doctoral Specialty Project demonstrating competency
(knowledge of the evidence-based practice literature and skills acquisition) in a specific clinical
specialty area. The work will include a written report and a public presentation of the product. The
precise nature of the project will be developed in consultation with (and approved by) the student's
doctoral committee and the Director of Clinical Training. (SLO: 1-6, 8-12)

How will the program support or be supported by other programs within the institution?

The Psy.D. program is designed to integrate Psychology undergraduates to a significant extent. Involving
undergraduates in clinical and faculty research activities and, where feasible, in formal course work (via a limited
number of 500/700 level courses) will help the department make the most efficient use of faculty resources and help
prepare EKU undergraduates for graduate-level training. Some Psy.D. courses will be available as electives to
students in our School Psychology Psy.S. and General Psychology M.S. programs. The presence of doctoral students
in graduate assistantship positions will stimulate and support EKU's faculty research programs and provide
additional opportunities for involving EKU's undergraduates in research. It will help prepare EKU psychology
undergraduates for graduate-level training. For example, vertical clinical teams headed by a faculty mentor would
include advanced and beginning graduate students and advanced undergraduates. The teams would provide
supervision for students at all levels working in the EKU Psychology Clinic and in selected field placements. Work
on the clinic team could serve as a laboratory experience for selected undergraduate courses (e.g., PSY 405
Interviewing). Advanced graduate students would gain experience in providing clinical supervision. Additionally,

99

�Board of Regents
CAA Agenda P. 17
June 9, 2014

having doctoral students in the EKU Psychology Clinic will allow expansion of mental health services to the
community and provide additional opportunities for undergraduate clinical psychology co-op placements.
In addition, students in the doctoral program will continue (and likely expand) collaboration with graduate students
and faculty in other EKU departments (e.g., Occupational Therapy, Communication Disorders, Special Education)
on providing services through the Psychology Department training clinic (The EKU Psychology Clinic).
4.

Will this program replace or enhance any existing program(s) or tracks, concentrations, or specializations within an
existing program? Yes or No
If yes, please explain.

The Psy.D. program will subsume the existing M.S. Clinical Psychology degree program. A number of existing
courses in the Master's program will be transformed into doctoral-level courses and incorporated into the proposed
program. Students in the Psy.D. program will earn the M.S. degree during the course of their doctoral program.

�Board of Regents
CAA Agenda P. 18
June 9, 2014

Currently, the only Kentucky institution offering the Clinical Psy.D. is Spaulding University, a private institution in
Louisville. The tuition at Spaulding is significantly higher than the tuition at EKU ($895 per credit hour vs. our
proposed tuition rate of$600 per credit hour). Since Spaulding is the only university in Kentucky offering the Psy.D.
in Clinical Psychology, a limited number of degrees are awarded each year. A Psy.D. program at EKU would
increase the number of Kentuckians who could earn doctoral degrees.
Each year between eight and ten graduates of the M.S. Clinical Psychology program go on to doctoral programs
(typically Psy.D. programs). Most have ties to Kentucky and would welcome the opportunity to earn a doctorate at
EKU. Psychology is among the most popular majors at EKU (we typically have approximately 800 undergraduate
Psychology majors). A recent survey of our majors revealed that nearly 80% anticipate going on to graduate school.
A number of these students either wish to pursue graduate work locally or are place bound and thus unable to leave
the region.
There is a strong demand for doctoral level training in psychology. In 2012-13, there were 150 applicants to the
Spalding Psy.D. program (30 full-time students were admitted). There were 245 applicants to the UK Clinical Ph.D.
program (11 admitted) and 154 to the U ofL program (12 admitted).
pmployment of psychologists is expected to grow 22 percent from 2010 to 2020, faster than the average for all
occupations. Job prospects should be best for those who have a doctoral degree in an applied specialty. The 2010
median salary for doctoral psychologists was $68,810. (Bureau ofLabor Statistics, Occupational Outlook
Handbook, 2012-2013 edition).
According to the American Psychological Association, there is a shortage of clinical psychologists (especially those
trained at the doctoral level) in the rural areas of the US. With our history of preparing students to provide
behavioral health care services in these traditionally underserved regions, including rural Kentucky, EKU is in an
excellent position to help fill this need. Community mental health centers in rural Kentucky communities report
ongoing difficulty recruiting doctoral level psychologists.
2.

Specify any distinctive qualities of the program.

The proposed program will focus on training psychologists to work in rural mental health agencies, and
it will provide access to specialized training that will complement that focus. Opportunities for
integrated graduate-level preparation in mental health administration, substance abuse treatment, and
working with traditionally underserved populations including veterans and their families, adults and
children with developmental disabilities, and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, will
distinguish the EKU program from other Psy.D programs.
3.

Are there existing programs in the state?
a. Does the proposed program differ from existing programs?
If yes, please explain.

Yes. As indicated earlier, the only other Psy.D. program in the state is at Spalding University in Louisville.
While there will be similarities between the program in terms of core coursework in order to meet
accreditation by the American Psychological Association, the program at Spalding does not emphasize
training clinicians to work in rural communities.
b.

Does the proposed program serve a different student population (i.e. students in a different geographic
area) from existing programs?
If yes, please explain.

Yes. Since the only Psy.D. program in Kentucky is in Louisville, the proposed program at EKU will serve
students in Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Kentucky. The proposed program will also serve students

101

�Board of Regents
CAA Agenda P. 19
June 9, 2014

who are more interested in a practice-oriented (Psy.D.) rather than a research (Ph.D.) doctorate.
c.

Is access to existing programs limited?
If yes, please explain.

Yes. Both geography and capacity place limits on accessibility to existing programs.
d.

Is the excess demand for existing similar programs?
If yes, please explain.

Yes. There is a strong demand for doctoral level training in psychology. In 2012-13, there were 150
applicants to the Spalding Psy.D. program (30 full-time students were admitted). There were 245
applicants to the UK Clinical Ph.D. program (11 admitted) and 154 to the U ofL program (12 admitted).
e.

Will there be collaboration between the proposed program and existing programs?
Please explain the collaborative arrangement with existing programs.
Please explain why there is no proposed collaboration with existing programs.

We discussed our program proposal with officials at Western Kentucky University. While we support the
proposal for the program they indicated that they were pursuing, it is unlikely that there will be extensive
opportunities for direct collaboration between the programs. The nature of clinical training (intensive and
requiring face-to-face interaction), and the distance between the two institutions, make extensive
collaboration difficult. However, we would welcome WKU students to complete coursework at EKU
(particularly elective courses delivered online) that would complement their proposed curriculum. We
would be receptive to any similar reciprocal agreements to have our students complete similar kinds of
coursework at WKU.

List and discuss the nature and appropriateness of available clinical sites.

Clinical practica are an essential part of doctoral training in clinical psychology, affording students an
opportunity to practice clinical skills taught in the classroom. Every student in the program will begin their
practicum training in our Department Psychology Clinic. This provides both a valuable service to the
community and a training opportunity for our students. These practicum positions are part-time through the
first four years of the program. During the fifth year of training, each completes a full-time internship
position with an external, AP A-Accredited internship. Here is a list of current practicum placement sites
for our current Master's program. These placements will also work as clinical training positions for the
doctoral program. Sites in our service region are bolded:

2.

Describe how the doctorate builds upon the reputation and resources of the existing master's degree program in
the field.

The EKU Psychology Department, and the M.S. Clinical Program in particular, has a long history of preparing
students to provide behavioral health care services in traditionally underserved regions, including rural Kentucky.
All four of our graduate programs are viable, well-established programs and both the Clinical Psychology M.S. and
School Psychology Psy.S. degree programs are nationally accredited (there is no accrediting body for 110 or General
Psychology programs). Nearly all of the curricular and other training elements necessary to support a doctoral
program are already in place, including:
A well-established network of community practicum placements
A thriving and well-respected training clinic (the EKU Psychology Clinic)
A research infrastructure adequate for the needs of an applied program
Opportunities for training in two high-demand specialty areas not available at other state institutions:
developmental disabilities and deafness/mental health
Resources to develop a program emphasis on rural mental health which is well-suited to the needs of
EKU's service region
Resources to provide training in mental health administration
Resources to provide training in school-based mental health services and in how to support and work
effectively with school psychologists
Resources to provide training in working with veterans and their families
A readily available pool of doctoral level practitioners to serve as adjunct faculty teaching advanced
specialty seminars and supervising clinical practicum placements
Five AP A-accredited doctoral clinical internship sites in Kentucky (including a consortium in rural Eastern
Kentucky)
The Psy.D. program would reflect an expansion and refocusing of the existing Clinical Psychology M.S. Program
curriculum. The current clinical curriculum would be supplemented with courses already being offered by the
Psychology Department for our other graduate programs, new doctoral-level courses, additional practicum and
internship hours, and by electives offered by other EKU departments. The content and structure of the existing
courses would be adjusted to reflect the rigor and standards of a doctoral-level program. Policies and procedures for

103

�Board of Regents
CAAAgenda P. 21
June 9, 2014

student training and assessment already in place for the Clinical Psychology M.S. program would be adapted to meet
the needs of the doctoral program.
3.

accrediting agencies that necessitate a new doctoral program.

There are no new practice or licensure requirements in the profession or requirements by specialized accrediting
agencies that necessitate the new doctoral program. However, the rationale for establishing the Psy.D. degree in the
late 1960s was that "Psychological knowledge .... had matured enough to warrant creation of explicitly professional
programs along the lines of professional programs in medicine, dentistry, and law." Thus, the model was established
to complement, rather than compete with, the Ph.D. degree. Grow1h ofPsy.D. programs has been rapid; there are
currently over 90 Psy.D. programs in the U.S. (65 in clinical psychology), and since the mid-1990s Psy.D. programs
enrolled three times as many students as did Ph.D. programs. All 50 states license practitioners holding either the
Ph.D. or Psy.D. degrees and the major accrediting body for clinical psychology programs, the American
Psychological Association (APA), accredits both types of programs. APA's guidelines for accreditation are, in fact,
the same forboth degrees.
4.

Explain the impact of the proposed program on undergraduate education at the institution. Within the
explanation, note specifically if new undergraduate courses in the field will be needed.

The Psy.D. program is designed to integrate undergraduates to a significant extent. Involving undergraduates in
clinical and research activities and, where feasible, in the formal course work (via a limited number of 500/700 level
courses) will help the department make the most efficient use of faculty resources and help prepare EKU
undergraduates for graduate-level training. Moreover, the presence of doctoral students in graduate assistantship
positions will stimulate and support EKU's faculty research programs and provide additional opportunities for
involving EKU's undergraduates in research. It will help prepare EKU psychology undergraduates for graduatelevel training. For example, vertical clinical teams headed by a faculty mentor would include advanced and
beginning graduate students and advanced undergraduates. The teams would provide supervision for students at all
levels working in the EKU Psychology Clinic and in selected field placements. Work on the clinic team could serve
as a laboratory experience for selected undergraduate courses (e.g., PSY 405 Interviewing). Advanced graduate
students would gain experience in providing clinical supervision. Additionally, having doctoral students in the EKU
Psychology Clinic will allow expansion of mental health services to the community and provide additional
opportunities for undergraduate clinical psychology co-op placements. This program will not require new
undergraduate courses in the field.
5.

Provide evidence that funding for the program will not impair funding of any existing program at any other public
university.

Because no Psy.D. programs exist at any other public university and because of the sustained and strong demand for
doctoral training in psychology, the Psy.D. at EKU will not impair funding for existing programs at EKU or at other
public institutions in Kentucky. The demand for training, coupled with the growing need for qualified psychological
practitioners, far exceeds the capacity of existing programs. The proposed new faculty line will include
undergraduate teaching responsibilities as well as teaching in the Psy.D. program.

additional $25,170 in fringe benefits (current rate of 41.~), results in an annual cost of $85,170. The proposal will also include
transitioning a current faculty member into the role of Director of Clinical Training (DCT). The DCT position is an 11-month full time
position that requires a 2-course teaching reduction per semester. The duties of the DCT include oversight of the entire program,
recruitment, student evaluations, program development, and liaison to the accreditation body (APA). Based on Dr. Dustin Wygant
assuming the DCT position, the additional faculty costs for the program will be $28,849, which is calculated by 11/9 of his current base
salary ($58,487) plus fringe benefits (41.~), as well as $10,400 for reduced teaching load.

The proposal includes hiring each incoming student as Graduate Assistant (20 hrs/week) for the fall and spring semesters of their first
year of instruction. Each student will receive a half-time Graduate Assistantship for the fall and spring semesters of their second and
third years. After receiving their Master's degree in the third year, students will be eligible for hire as adjunct faculty and online
course facilitators. They will also be able to pursue the Licensed Psychological Associate credential. This will allow them to secure paid
clinical practicum positions. The fifth-year internship at an external agency is paid by that agency. The cost per full time graduate
assistantship is $5,425 and comes with a 6-hour tuition waiver, totaling $3,600 for a total of $9,025 per assistantship. These positions
will help students defray the cost of attending the full-time program, while providing important support activities to the department
(e.g., teaching and research assistantships). It will also make our program highly attractive to students interested in obtaining a Psy.D.
degree.

A new academic Qrogram is a program not previously offered at an institution or one that was previously offered but has
been suspended for five or more years or has been closed.
Major academic Qrogram modifications refer to significant changes in the program's purpose and curriculum such that a
different CIP code more accurately describes the revised program. Separation of an academic program into two programs
and the combination of two existing programs into one program constitute major academic program modifications.

PART I
A.

Centrality to the Institution's Mission and Consistency with State's Goals

1.

Provide a brief description of the program. Describe any tracks (if undergraduate), concentration (if
master's), or specializations (if doctorate).
The purpose of this program will be to provide a Post-Doctorate of Nursing Practice Certificate to provide
additional education and training for nurses who hold a Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree and who
already hold certification and licensure as a nurse practitioner. The post-DNP certificate program will provide
education in neuroscience. A local health care system has collaborated with the Department to.educate advanced
practice providers in neuroscience required for them to meet the needs of their neurological patient population.
The development of the Post-DNP Neuroscience for APN certificate for Nurse Practitioners with DNP's to provide
the necessary education and clinical practice to meet the needs of the healthcare system's patients with
neurological disorders. The health care system has Nurse Practitioners who are educated at the DNP level, but do
not possess the necessary education or skills to provide care for the neuroscience patients. Developing a PostDoctoral Neuroscience for APN Certificate program will allow current Nurse Practitioners with a DNP, to be
prepared for clinical practice in neuroscience.

2.

List the objectives of the proposed program. These objectives should deal with the specific institutional and
societal needs that this program will address.
EKU Goal : Create and maintain inclusive. equitable. and diverse environment
Depart ent Goal: DBGN program supports the appreciation of cultural influences on healthcare.
Pro ra Goal: To provide advanced education and training to influence and support an equitable and diverse healthcare
environment.
EKU Goal 4: Collaborate with the University's regional community partners to promote academic achievement, economic
development, and quality of life.
Depart ent Goal: DBGN program will demonstrate a commitment to Public Service and Regional Stewardship by continuing
collaborations with regional partners to promote health and will serve the needs of underserved populations.
Pro ra Goal: Collaborate with regional partners, within the state health care system, to promote health and serve the needs
of underserved populations.

3.

Explain how the objectives support the institutional mission and strategic priorities, the statewide postsecondary
education strategic agenda, and the statewide strategic implementation plan.

De and/Unnecessary Duplication

Provide justification and evidence to support the need and demand for this proposed program. Include any data
on student demand; career opportunities at the local, state, and national levels; and any changes or trends in the
discipline(s) that necessitate a new program.
The Department of the Baccalaureate and Graduate Nursing and a state health care system have decided to
collaborate to provide a Post-Doctorate in Nursing Practice Certificate to provide additional training for nurses who
already have a Doctorate in Nursing Practice degree and are certified as a nurse practitioner. The certificate will
provide course work and clinical practice experience for education and training in neuroscience beyond what
student have received in their DNP and APRN programs. The Post-DNP in Neuroscience Certificate completers will
provide a vital part of care for patients with neurological disorders. There is a shortage of neurologists; of the
neurologists they do have available, they are not available 24 hours per day 7 days a week. The physicians are
providing necessary care to outpatients in their offices. In order for the health care system to meet the needs of
their patient population, they need nurse practitioners educated for inter-professional care for patients with
neurological disorders. The Post-DNP in Neuroscience for APN will allow Nurse Practitioners with a DNP to gain
the knowledge and skills required to meet the needs of patients with neurological disorders.

2.

Specify any distinctive qualities of the program.
The program has one distinctive quality, which is for the purpose to provide additional education and training for
APRN's who already hold a DNP for the care of a specific population of patients with neurological disorders.

3.

Are there existing programs in the state? No
a. Does the proposed the proposed program differ from existing programs? Yes
There is no other program teaching the specialty of Neuroscience for APN's, within the state or
surrounding states.
b.

Does the proposed program serve a different student population (i.e. students in a different geographic
area) from existing programs? Yes
The students for this program must possess an APRN and a DNP before admission to the certificate
program.

A. 1. Specific action requested: Offer a new certificate in Social Intelligence and Leadership.
A. 2. Proposed Effective Academic Term: Fall2014
A. 3. Effective date of suspended programs for currently enrolled students: NA

B. The justification for this action: This is a collaborative effort with the Noel Studio for Academic Creativity, the
Teaching and Learning Center, and e-Campus in support of the Provost's initiative to enrich the B.A. in General
Studies, especially for our service region. The courses that constitute the certificate will serve as the core classes for
the new Professional Track options offered in Professional Area in Business, Public Administration and additional
options under development. The certificate includes two classes to enhance students' knowledge and skills in
creative and critical thinking in furtherance of the University's strategic and QEP plans. Two classes focus on the
knowledge and skills students can use to develop positive communications and relations that can enhance
workplace performance and success. The program concludes with two courses to show students the life skills and
science of effective leadership. The certificate can be awarded upon completion of the courses even prior to earning
the degree. It will add a sense of accomplishment to students, encouraged their continued enrollment, and provide a
means to enhance their resumes for current and future employment.

C. The projected cost (or savings) of this proposal is as follows:
Personnel Impact: The Institute for Social Intelligence and Leadership is a multi-discipline institute. There are no
new courses in this certificate. As the program grows instructors will be drawn from individuals across the university
who are qualified to teach under EKU Policy 4.61 P, who have positive relations with others, and are willing to
participate in a specialized social intelligence instructor development course.

commitment by the Noel Studio for Academic Creativity.

Equipment/Physical Facility Needs: The College of Justice and Safety is providing four fully equipped offices,
three social labs, classroom space, and technical support, along with e-Campus, to offer this certificate online.

Library Resources: Based upon a review by the librarian assigned to the College of Justice and Safety the current

Accelerated 3+2 Dual Degree Program
CIP Code: 40.0501
Students may apply for admission to the 3+2 program in their junior or senior year. Students are able to complete their SA
degree and M.S. degree within 5 calendar years because of the accelerated curriculum and because 9 semester hours of 700level graduate coursework will apply to both the undergraduate B.A. degree and the graduate M.S. degree. Only undergraduate
students of proven academic ability will be considered for the program. Entrance requirements for the 3+2 must adhere to the
same requirements for the M.S. Chemistry Program in the Graduate Catalog, except entrance examinations (e.g. GRE) are not
required for the 3+2 option. Students must fulfill all graduation requirements listed below. Students admitted into the program will
remain coded as undergraduate until fulfilling their SA requirements. Students admitted into the 3+2 program must complete the
Chemistry SA degree with a minimum 3.0 GPA to be allowed to proceed with graduate program coursework.
Admission Requirements:
Students interested in this option must satisfy all the following conditions:
1. Junior or Senior standing
2. Overall grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 at the time of admission to the 3+2 option
3. Approval from department and Graduate School (see the form at http://gradschool.eku.edu/graduate-school-forms)
4. Must maintain an overall undergraduate and graduate grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 to continue in the 3+2 option.

The B.A. Chemistry degree, Pre-Pharmacy option, completes all pre-requisites required for application to pharmacy school. While
students may apply for admission to pharmacy school after pursuing this degree for three years, a significant number of
applicants elect to remain at EKU and first complete their B.A. Chemistry degree.
Students accepted into pharmacy school after three years as a Chemistry major will have completed 80 of the B.A. Chemistry
degree. As such these students, upon completion of pharmacy school, may transfer pharmacy coursework back to EKU, to be
used in lieu of outstanding EKU Chemistry course requirements; and thereby complete the BA Chemistry degree. The student's
record will be reviewed for completion by the Registrar, and providing all other University requirements are met, the student will be
awarded an EKU B.A. Chemistry degree. Students interested in transferring back pharmacy coursework can enquire by emailing
registrar eku.edu.

MASTER OF SCIENCE
Chemistry
CIP Code: 40.0501
I. General Information
The Master of Science (M.S.) Program in Chemistry is designed to extend the chemical knowledge and skills of students to prepare them for a
diverse set of opportunities. The M.S. Program in Chemistry can prepare students for further advanced study in either Chemistry or related
Biomedical Sciences. and sophisticated careers in industry, government service, or to advance their current status. Incoming students will take
the presented curriculum composed of 33 graduate hours in chemistry, which can be completed in two years. EKU undergraduate students
majoring in chemistry or forensic science can integrate the M.S. Chemistry degree with their current degree allowing them to complete the M.S.
degree with one additional year as part of an accelerated dual degree program. Students take graduate core graduate courses in 4 out of the 5
subdisciplines of chemistry, graduate elective courses, and complete one of the following tracks:
1)

Research - Students will complete an independent research project carried out in the laboratories of the chemistry department,
which allows them to gain experience in modern experimental techniques. The Chemistry Department requires research projects be
written as a Master's Thesis. Each candidate will give a public defense of the Master's Thesis, which is evaluated by a faculty
committee. This track is highly recommended for students seeking further advanced study in Chemistry or related Biomedical
Sciences.
2) Applied Learning (Internship) - Provides students with an opportunity to perform an internship or a capstone project deemed
appropriate by a faculty committee at an industrial, government, or related chemical organization. This track is meant to prepare
students for work in emerging and existing technical fields with a broader understanding of chemical laboratory practices. This track
can accommodate individuals who have, or are able to obtain, employment in a chemistry- related field.
3) Coursework Only- A coursework distribution that augments technical skills, and provides a broad, yet firm, background in advanced
chemical concepts. Students in this option choose elective courses beyond the 4 core requirements. Each student determines his or
her course program with the assistance of a faculty advisor and/or committee.
The Department of Chemistry cooperates with the other natural science departments and the College of Education in offering the degree of
Master of Arts in Education with an option in Physical Science. The program is primarily for non-specialized science teachers and is described
more thoroughly in the College of Education section of this Catalog.
Accelerated Dual Degree Programs (3+2): The Accelerated Dual Degree (3+2) program integrates the current available degrees (Chemistry
(B.A. or B.S.) or Forensic Science (B.S.) with the requirements for the M.S. Chemistry degree. Therefore, EKU undergraduate students can attain
a M.S. degree with only one extra year of study. Students may apply for admission to the 3+2 program once the entrance requirements are
satisfied (typically in their junior or senior year). Once students are accepted into the 3+2 program, the graduate program curriculum (with specific
track) will be integrated into the curriculum where 9 semester hours of 700-level graduate coursework is applicable to both the undergraduate and
graduate degree. Students in the dual degree chemistry program are projected to receive both the Baccalaureate and Master's degrees after five
years of full-time study.
II. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS: Applicants should provide evidence of ability to pursue graduate study, and meet the general requirements for
admission to the Graduate School.
Prerequisites: The following requirements must be completed prior to clear admission to graduate study: 25 undergraduate hours of chemistry
from a combination of introductory chemistry, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, inorganic, or physical chemistry (each with a
laboratory component). Additional requirements would be at least one semester of calculus, one year of physics, and completion of the graduate
record Examinations (GRE) general test with expected scores of 144 or higher on the Verbal and 150 or higher on the Quantitative portions of the
exam (target score - 294). Enrollment in graduate courses will be restricted until these prerequisites have been completed. For EKU students
applying to the M.S. program through the 3+2 accelerated dual degree Program, the GRE general test will be waived.

Ill. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
Curriculum for the M.S. Chemistry Program

�Board of Regents
CAA Agenda P. 103
June 9, 2014

Geography faculty discussed supporting course requirements for the B.A. Geography program during Assurance of
Learning Day in fall2012. Faculty agreed that the primary reason SOC 232 had been a supporting course for the B.A
Geography program was so that Geography majors would be exposed to statistical analysis, which is a component
of SOC 232. Faculty also agreed that Geography majors were likely to have more in-depth exposure to statistics in
STA 270 and STA 270L than they would in SOC 232. Thus, faculty decided to drop SOC 232 and add both STA 270
and STA 270L as supporting course requirements for the B.A. Geography program.
Faculty also decided to drop GLY 102, 107, or 108, and ECO 120 or ECO 230 as supporting course requirements for
the B.A. Geography program. Geography majors learn about the physical environment in GEO 210, which is one of
the core courses for the B.A. Geography program. Since the GLY courses also cover the physical environment,
faculty determined that geography majors did not need to take one or more of the GLY support courses in addition to
GEO 210. This is particularly true for geography majors whose interests align with one or more of the human
geography sub-disciplines.
Faculty decided to drop ECO 120 or ECO 230 as supporting course requirements for the B.A. Geography program
because our department no longer has faculty with strengths in Economic Geography, which these courses
supported. Faculty agreed that our department's discipline strengths are in the "Environment and Society" content
areas and in "Geographic Skills" including GIS and Remote Sensing. The ECO supporting course requirements no
longer align with departmental strengths.
In Fall 2013, faculty decided to add an additional option to the ACCT requirement that is analogous to the group
research project in GEO 490 but would allow for an individual project instead.
The number of free electives must be changed from 38 to 37 hours to reflect the above changes in supporting
course requirements.

C. The projected cost (or savings) of this proposal is as follows:
Personnel Impact:
None

Operating Expenses Impact:
None

Equipment/Physical Facility Needs:
None

Library Resources:

�Board of Regents
CAAAgenda P. 116
June 9, 2014

The MPA program, consistent with the Graduate School's decision to change their policy on Comprehensive Exams,
will replace the GRD 858g oral and GRD 857f written comprehensive examination exit requirement with one of the
two applied field study course options: a) POL 870 internship portfolio course; or b) POL 871 applied analysis
research project. In both of the applied field study courses, the MPA student is afforded a wide range of opportunities
for intellectual and professional development, including:
1.

The chance to apply knowledge and skills learned in the classroom to actual work situations and
problems, and to develop new or improved knowledge derived from the experience;

2.

The opportunity to conduct an extended study of a problem of interest to the student and to develop
this into a significant written project that will be the basis of the students oral examination;

3.

The chance to build practical experience and accomplishments in ways that enhance the student's
professional credentials; and

4.

The opportunity to develop new contacts and supportive references among professional peers.

The applied field study options, which students choose near or after the completion of all core course requirements, are
more consistent with evolving practices in graduate education, and allows programs added flexibility in determining
the most effective types of exit competencies for their students. For the purpose of the MPA program, the applied
field study exit requirements also more effectively synthesizes central elements of the student's graduate program
that aligns with the EKU Graduate Student Learning Outcomes and our accrediting body's (NASPAA) accreditation
standards for professional master's degree programs in public affairs, policy and administration.
The changes made with regard to the selection of approved electives for the three MPA tracks will facilitate the
graduation process by being more inclusive of the electives that students may take (students must have prior advisor
approval to sign up for electives), without having to submit as many exception forms in those instances where the
desired electives - in particular those offered in different departments - is either no longer being taught at EKU or
because it is not taught in the semester in which the student needs it to meet their graduation deadline.

C. The projected cost (or savings) of this proposal is as follows:
Personnel Impact: None

Operating Expenses Impact: None

Equipment/Physical Facility Needs: None

Library Resources: None

choices in the communication disorder area.
The Psychology department has separated the Clinical Psychology and School Psychology program
practicum courses into two courses-PSY 838 and PSY 843, respectively. Either course satisfies the
practical application requirement for the Autism Spectrum Certificate, therefore, PSY 838 needs to be

The Autism Spectrum Disorder Certificate provides integrated multidisciplinary training in autism and
related disorders. Participation is limited to students enrolled in graduate degree programs in Psychology,
Occupational Therapy, Communication Disorders, and Special Education. Admission to one of the
designated graduate degree programs does not guarantee admission to the certificate program. Post-degree
students with graduate degrees in one of these fields will also be considered, although the focus of the
certificate is on pre-service training. Students seeking admission to the certificate program should contact
their graduate program advisor for information.
A total of 18 credit hours is required for candidates for the Autism Spectrum Disorder Certificate, including
1 course in each of the four participating disciplines (Psychology, Occupational Therapy, Communication
Disorders, and Special Education), one discipline-specific practicum in autism spectrum disorders, and a
capstone course in autism spectrum disorders.

Completion of A, 8, and C is required: (Please be specific, but concise.)
A. 1. Specific action requested:
1.

Add PSY 399 and 318 as courses that satisfy the Skills requirement, and PSY 419 as a course that satisfies
the Capstone requirement for the Psychology degree.

2.

Create Concentrations within the Bachelor of Science in Psychology degree program.

A. 2. Proposed Effective Academic Term:

Fall 2014

A. 3. Effective date of suspended programs for currently enrolled students: (if applicable)
B. The justification for this action:
1.

An ad hoc committee composed of instructors in our research methods courses determined that students are not
receiving proper training on research methodology skills, particularly when developing their own projects. The PSY
399/419 course sequence replaces a one semester Senior Thesis course (PSY 401). By having a two semester
sequence, students will receive more thorough training for students in research methodology. PSY 399 is in the Skills
category because it teaches a foundation skill for Psychologists-designing research projects. PSY 419 is in the
Capstone sequence because this course provides more advanced training in carrying out research projects which is a
fundamental skill for graduates in psychology that are frequently needed in graduate school and work settings. PSY
401 will be dropped effective Fall2015, as there are still students who are in the current/previous catalog. PSY 318
(Introduction to School Psychology) is a new course being added to the Skills section. This course represents a major
applied segment of the field of Psychology, and thus is appropriate for the Skills section of the curriculum.

2.

By providing a coherent set of courses, Concentrations offer students a clear path toward exploring areas of interest or
preparing for a career. Completion of a Concentration will provide students with documented knowledge/skills/
experience relevant to a variety of jobs available to those with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. This is especially
useful for a major such as Psychology from which students can pursue many diverse paths after graduation.

B. The justification for this action:
Loss of Horticulture faculty line and shift of emphasis necessitated the reduction in course offerings. The
accounting course is not applicable to all Horticulture concentrations. Horticulture majors do not need the higher
level economics course since they also take an Agriculture Economics course at that level.

Completion of A, 8, and C is required: (Please be specific, but concise.)
A. 1. Specific action requested: (Example: Increase the number of credit hours for ABC 100 from 1 to 2.)
Combine CON 323 (3) and 423 (3) into a new course CON 325 (5); to delete OSH 379 (3) as a program
requirement; to revise CON 499 making it a 4 credit hour course; to add AEM 310W as an alternate to CCT 201; and
to add a 3 credit hour elective.
A. 2. Proposed Effective Academic Term: (Example: Fall2012)
Fall2014
A.3. Effective date of suspended programs for currently enrolled students: (if applicable)
NA
B. The justification for this action:
Combining CON 323 and 423 streamlines presentation of the required course material and reduces some
duplication currently found in 423 since it may not be taken in the semester immediately after 323, its pre-requisite.
End-of-course student critiques over several semesters and instructor course assessments have justified making
this change. This change was endorsed by the Construction Management Industry Advisory Board and will have no
impact on General Education requirements nor on ACCE accreditation requirements.
Deleting OSH 379 and adding online OSHA training to CON 499 will ensure that graduates always obtain the OSHA
30-hour card as part of their program. That is not always a certainty with OSH 379 since not all faculty who teach the
course are qualified at the 30-hour level. This change will have no impact on General Education requirements nor on
ACCE accreditation requirements.
Increasing CON 499 credit hours from 3 to 4 will allow for the CM program to meet the needs of the construction
industry by providing safety education to students in a CON course. The additional credit hour will allow OSHA online
training to be incorporated into the course.
The addition of AEM 310W provides students an additional option to meet a business requirement while also
meeting the writing intensive requirement.
The changes above allow the addition of a 3 hour elective which will allow students doing the 3+2 program to
complete %of the Masters coursework prior to graduating from the undergraduate program. Those students
minoring in Land Surveying or Business will also be able to complete those minors more quickly as a result of this
new elective.

A. 1. Specific action requested: (Example: Increase the number of credit hours for ABC 100 from 1 to 2.)
(1) Add AED 761 to the MAEd IN Secondary Education Art Specialization options (Degree Works PSEUDO).

B. The justification for this action:
(1) When ART 760 went through curriculum change and the course prefix/number were changed to AED 761,
the Secondary MAEd program revision was not completed to include the change, so that currently, exception
forms must be completed for all students in the MAEd taking this course. This is simply to rectify that
oversight.
(2) Students currently take the ETL 804 course as their capstone course for the program and complete the exit
requirements in the course. Grades for the capstone project and the course are entered by the instructor for

DOCTOR OF EDUCATION (Ed.D.)
Concentration 1: Leadership and Policy Studies
Concentration 2: Counselor Education and Supervision
CIP Code: 13.0401
I. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) includes a common core of coursework and two areas of concentration
including (1) Leadership and Policy Studies and (2) Counselor Education and Supervision. Students in either
concentration complete common core coursework which provides foundational training in three areas
including research, academic, and rural studies. Basic general information about each concentration appears
below.

Concentration 1: Leadership and Policy Studies. P-12 and Postsecondary leaders are challenged with
directing broad educational programs that increase excellence and equity as measured by outcomes. Schools
and school districts need professionals who use current knowledge and possess strong leadership skills to
design and administer programs that can improve teaching and learning to accomplish these outcomes.
Moreover, they need leaders who know about and respond to the specific challenges and strengths of the
communities they serve. The Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) program at Eastern Kentucky University will play
a significant role in developing such leaders. Participation in this doctoral program will lead to enhanced
understanding and practical capacity with regard to human learning, educational institutions, and the
interaction of the larger society with educational, financial, and governmental entities and processes.
Likewise, participation will allow for the acquisition of skills to conduct and successfully apply research.
Course work will be built on a knowledge base that reflects current research, theory, and practice, while
doctoral faculty will serve as ongoing mentor resources- answering questions, helping to resolve

317

�Board of Regents
CAA Agenda P. 235
June 9, 2014

administrative problems, collaborating on research projects, referring individuals to job openings, etc.
Concentration 2: Counselor Education and Supervision. Counselor Education and Supervision is a unique
area oftraining that provides doctoral level educational and experiential preparation to meet needs related to
career areas such as advanced clinical practitioners; clinical supervisors; mental health agency administrators
and school counseling administrators; and counselor educators. Looking forward the needs for trained
professionals in these areas is expected to grow. Attaining success in these fields will be related to obtaining
an educational background in Counselor Education and Supervision that is based on the best standards of
practice which are those set forth by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Programs or
CACREP. The Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) with a concentration in Counselor Education and Supervision at
Eastern Kentucky University has been designed to be in alignment with these standards which stipulate
training in five specific areas including Counseling; Supervision; Teaching Research and Scholarship; and
Leadership and Advocacy. The Ed.D. concentration in Counselor Education and Supervision also includes
coursework that prepares graduates to work with clients and students in the rural areas of the state including
the Appalachian region. Students in the doctoral program will choose an area of specialization: either clinical
mental health counseling or school counseling. Additionally, each student and his or her advisor will create a
specialized 600 hour internship designed to meet the student's interests and future career path. Students will
receive individual attention and mentoring to help them make the most of their doctoral training experience.

II. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
The decision to admit a student to doctoral work constitutes a major commitment from the faculty in the
form of advising, teaching, chairing and serving on the committee, preparing and evaluating examinations,
and guiding the dissertation to successful completion. The application window for potential candidates opens
for two months during the spring semester, beginning January 1st and ending March I st. Upon successful
review, candidates are admitted to the program effective the next summer or the next fall semester.
Admission to the Doctor of Education program is based upon the following entrance requirements:

1. Earned a mastei's degree in education or a related field with a minimum graduate GPA of3.5, with a
review of admission status triggered by any grade of "C" or below. Students applying for the concentration in
Counselor Education and Supervision must have a 60 hour master's degree from a CACREP accredited
program or its equivalent.
2. Must have completed three years of professional experience (preference will be given to those with
leadership, school counseling, or clinical mental health counseling experience). See section below regarding
graduate course work in education research and statistics.
The applicant should note that the decision to admit students to the doctoral program is a collective
judgment of the faculty and represents their determination of the likelihood of the candidate's success in all
major phases of the degree program. These judgments take into account the candidate's professional
experiences, communication and thinking skills, and other relevant capabilities. Thus, a candidate is not
automatically admitted on the basis of meeting the minimal criteria.
A completed application packet will include:
• Completed graduate application
• Transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate work
• Resume of professional experience
• Score reports from the Graduate Record Examination or Miller Analogies Test
• A brief essay describing the relationship between the applicant's professional goals and their chosen
Ed.D. program concentration area.
• At least three letters of recommendation-including at least one each from a peer, a supervisor, and a
college/university faculty member.

318

�Board of Regents
CAA Agenda P. 236
June 9, 2014

Note: Students will be required to complete a criminal background check during their first semester, but
may complete coursework on a provisional status pending completion of the criminal background
check.

Evaluation Process: After a holistic review of the application packets, the Doctoral Program Committee will
select those applicants to be interviewed. Interviews will be conducted within thirty (30) days of the
application deadline.
Admission Requirements:
Admission Requirement # 1
• A review of the candidate's completed application packet, using a rubric established by the Doctoral
Program Committee
• A demonstration of the candidate's written and oral communication skills, to be assessed using a
rubric established by the Doctoral Program Committee
• A dispositions evaluation (an assessment of attitudes and behaviors practiced in the areas of personal
responsibility, ethics, emotional management, communication, and work ethics) of the candidate to
be conducted by one or more members of the Doctoral Program Committee using an established
forrnat/protoco l.

Admission Requirement #2
• An interview with Doctoral Program Committee members
The committee will review all available data to assess the overall potential of the candidate for success
in the program before making a final decision about acceptance.
Admission Requirement #3
The candidate must have successfully completed (with a grade of"B" or higher) a graduate level
course in educational research and statistics and/or successfully completed and defended a thesis or
specialist project demonstrating research proficiency within the last four years, counting from the
semester of admission.
If the candidate has not completed course work in statistics and research methodology nor successfully
completed and defended an appropriate thesis or specialist project, additional course work in these
areas may be required.
Candidates who do not meet the above requirement may be admitted provisionally and required to complete
successfully one or more introductory graduate level educational research courses.

III. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS Candidates in both concentrations complete the following Core
coursework. Thereafter, each candidate's program of study will be individually planned within the following

1.

Change ACCT course from CDS 487 to CDS 475.

2.

3.

Add a requirement of speech/language/hearing screening for CD majors.

A. 3. Effective date of suspended programs for currently enrolled students: (if applicable)

B. The justification for this action:
1. Changing the emphasis of content in CDS 487 no longer permitted it to be the best measure of ACCT for the CD
program. Therefore, CDS 475 will meet the requirements for the CD ACCT course.
2. Courses were reorganized to equalize hours per semester and to reflect other changes requested on this
curriculum proposal form.
3 .. Since CD majors will be conducting speech/language/hearing screenings, they should experience the process.
In addition, our pre-professionals should have adequate communication skills before providing services to clients
with communication disorders.
4. Since SED 104 is a course listed in Element 6 Diversity and is a supporting course for the CD program, it would
allow the CD majors to take other courses related to the major and/or graduate in a timely manner.
5. Change listing of CDS 571 to CDS 571W to reflect the approved CDS 571W.

ADMISSION TO COMMUNICATION DISORDERS PROGRAM
Any student who is accepted by Eastern Kentucky University's Admissions Office may declare their major as communication disorders
(CD). The student will be assigned to a program advisor and will be classified as a "Pre-CD" major. However, a Pre-CD status does not
guarantee admission into the CD undergraduate program. Pre-CD majors will be restricted to enrollment in the following major CDS courses:
CDS 275 and 360. To apply for admission to the CD undergraduate program, students must meet the following minimum criteria:
(1) at least 27 credit hours earned on 100-level courses or higher, (2) at least a 3.0 GP A on a 4.0 scale, !!ft4.-(3) at least a 21 composite score on
the ACT, and (4) pass a speech/language/hearing screening. Once admitted to the CD program, the student must earn a grade of"C" or higher in
CDS 275 or equivalent transferred course before registering for any CDS courses in the major requirements. Transfer students do not have to be
enrolled in university courses at the time of submitting an application for admission. The CD program admits 30 new undergraduate students
each year. Applicants are ranked by the GPAx ACT composite score. The most qualified applicants are admitted. Application forms are
available from Wallace 245 or visit the CD program website at cd.eku.edu; telephone (859) 622-4442. Completed applications and all required
documentation must be submitted by February 14 to the CD Program Coordinator.
It should be noted that enrollment in the graduate program in Communication Disorders is also limited. Admission into the undergraduate
program does not guarantee admission into the graduate program. Refer to the Graduate Catalog for information on admission to the graduate
program.
Students must purchase professional liability insurance prior to enrollment in CDS 374, 474, and 541. Further, that insurance coverage must
be maintained throughout enrollment in these courses.

B. The justification for this action: MAEd Option B students complete a capstone research course (ETL 804) and
a practicum experience (SED 897) as culminating coursework. Both ETL 804 and SED 897 have key assessments
that are used for program and candidate assessment. Written comprehensive exams tell us less about what
students have learned and can apply than these two measures therefore we are dropping this additional requirement
for Option B. The written comprehensive exam will remain as a requirement for the MAEd Option A.

363

�Board of Regents
CAA Agenda P. 281
June 9, 2014

The 7 program changes in Block A are required due to the following justifications:
Overall, the requested actions are required to bring the CDF Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education program
and the SED Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education program to alignment and will reduce the total number of
required hours.
1) There is a need to change CDF admission requirements for Child Development and lEGE concentrations to be
in line with Teacher Admission requirements, which no longer use ACT scores to be considered for admission.
This change is requested in #1. Course content of CDF 327 S is considered base knowledge that should be
mastered before entrance into the program.
2) The reduction to fifteen hours of core courses allows more courses to be offered within each concentration.
For the Child Development and Family Studies concentrations as requested in# 2,3 and 4 current core
courses CDF 437 and CDF 538 are being moved to the required course concentration and NFA 317 is being
moved to supporting courses. NFA 201 will be added to supporting courses as an alternative to NFA 317. For
the Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education concentration, course content from CDF 437, 538 and NFA
317 will be addressed in other courses such as CDF 235, 236, 310, and 327. lEGE option students may still
choose to take CDF 437 as a supporting course.
3) There is a need to change the CDF Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education concentration to align with the
Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education Special Education program. Previously a special education minor
was required of lEGE students. This change will include moving six courses from the minor into the
concentration and adding two other special education courses (CDS 525 and SED 530) to the required
concentration courses. SED 104 is being added to the supporting courses as a requirement to provide
foundational knowledge. CDF 437 will be added as a choice for nine remaining hours of additional supporting
coursework and ELE 519 is being moved from the Professional Education Requirements to supporting course
choices. The combination of these courses will give students the background in special education needed for
preschool and kindergarten teachers. These change requests are reflected in #5 and 6. Eliminating the minor
and moving some courses from the minor to supporting course requirements will decrease the total number of
credit hours required from 136 to 124. Dropping CDF 399 from the lEGE concentration is required to make
the Child and Family Studies and Special Education lEGE programs equivalent. New education clinical work
will address the content of CDF 399.
4) Changes requested to the Professional Education Requirements in# 7 are needed to meet the requirements for
Teacher Admission and Applied Learning. Professional requirements will now include clinical work rather than
Applied Learning Field Experience.
C. The projected cost (or savings) of this proposal is as follows:
Personnel Impact: NA

Operating Expenses Impact: NA

Equipment/Physical Facility Needs: NA

The additional REC class, REC 590 will supplement the NRRM (Natural Resources &amp; Recreation Management)
curriculum will better prepare students entering the workforce.
REC 250 removed and replaced by REC 180 better reflects the needs of future professionals in the NRRM field.

2) REC 250 replaced by REC 290 will better reflect the needs of future professionals in the field;

Online Course Work
The major requirements for the B.S. degree, as well as coursework required for professional certificates (see below), are to be completed online.
Admission to pursue Bachelor of Science (B.S.) major requirements online further requires a composite ACT score of20 or higher. Students with
composite ACT scores of 18 or 19 may be admitted on a probationary basis but are required to furnish a writing sample. Though students
transferring from another accredited institution are not required to submit test scores, such students must meet EKU's requirements for admission
as a transfer student. In addition, transfer students must have an overall 2.5 or greater grade point average (GP A) on a 4.0 scale on all work from
accredited institutions. Transfer students with overall GPAs less than 2.5 but at least 2.0 may be admitted on a probationary basis but are required
to furnish a writing sample. The requirement that B.S. students must earn a minimum of30 of the last 36 hours through EKU is waived for
students pursuing the B.S. major requirements online. However, for the B.S. degree, a minimum of32 hours must be earned through EKU.

�Board of Regents
CAA Agenda P. 321
June 9, 2014

1. Change Physics 131 to Physics 101

Background
Physics 131 was added initially to satisfy a requirement from ABET to include physics in the
curriculum for safety professionals in order to obtain ABET Certification. Both pervious program
coordinators; Michael Schumann and Scott Dunlap agree that Physics 101 is sufficient to meet any
future attempt to obtain ABET certification. The course was initially offered with the Physics
Department agreeing to waive a pre-req requirement ofMat 108. This is no longer being acceptable
to the Physics Department. Requiring Math 108 adds a large burden on our program by taking 3
hours of possible profession specific course work. If it is indeed critical for students to be proficient
in Math 108, and if Physics 101 satisfies ABET requirements, then switching will better serve our
students by allowing room to add profession specific courses. The change frees 5 hours.
2. Add TRS 225 and TRS 395 to OSH Supporting Requirements
Background
Our program serves a profession that predominately involves commercial trucks and transportation.
The companies that come here to recruit our students for internship and full time positions require
safety professionals to have basic knowledge in these areas. TRS 225 TRS 395 will cover trucking
and transportation on rivers and waterways. Hopefully this will solidify the relationship with
Marathon and AERA Energy, but will also attract new companies to our program.
3. Replace EHS 345 with OSH 420
Background
Currently our program has grown on campus by 75% and has doubled online numbers since its
beginning. EHS on campus must limit its enrollment due to the nature of the course. It has become
second nature to accept other EHS courses in its place. The online program is just beginning to see
the issue oflimited EHS 345 offerings.
OSH 420 had been a course offering years prior on our program. But offerings were diverted to
EHS in order to free up faculty for other growth opportunities. Safety professionals need a broad
based approach to environmental management that covers a variety of topics to include storm water
permitting and management, waste stream management, EPE required reporting such as Tier II and
III reports, stack inventory and management for air quality, general procedures to sampling, and
foremost ISO 14001 and Kentucky specific DEP programs. OSH 420 would serve to provide the
needed knowledge and fill a needed gap in the curriculum.

C. The projected cost (or savings) of this proposal is as follows:
Personnel Impact: N/A
Operating Expenses Impact: N/A
Equipment/Physical Facility Needs: N/A
Library Resources: N/A

Women and Gender Studies
Dr. Lisa Day, Director
Keith 121
(859) 622-2913
Women and Gender Studies (WGS) is a multidisciplinary program offering both a minor and a certificate. WGS acquaints students with the
growing research on women and gender studies by addressing the intersections of gender, race, class, sexualities, and abilities and by promoting
active learning and social engagement. By analyzing competing perspectives and integrating knowledge across traditional academic boundaries,
students learn to identifY and examine gender-based assumptions and biases and to recognize their consequences on individual, social, and
cultural levels.

(859) 622-1424
Environmental Stewardship is an ethic that embodies responsible care and respect for the natural environment through conservation,
preservation, restoration, and responsible individual and collective behavior. Environmental Sustainability implies a cross-generational
commitment to this responsibility, and to its economic, and political, and social dimensions. Considerations include-but are not limited to-ecological system function, climate change, energy use, natural resource and ecosystems/land use, and human health and well-being.
The minor in Environmental Sustainability and Stewardship (ENV) emphasizes:
• Scientific understanding of the natural laws that govern the functioning of the biosphere;
• Human connections to the physical and natural world;
• Environmental ethics, values and behavior and how they are expressed in individuals, communities, societies, and institutional structures
• Technological and economics to sustainability and stewardship; and
• Practical service and experience that links sustainability &amp; stewardship theory to the real world, and to the student's major and career plans

Protocol for Academic Credit for Prior Learning
through Portfolio Assessment

Protocol for Academic Credit for Prior Learning
through Portfolio Assessment
One of the missions ofEastern Kentucky University (EKU) is to "develop informed, critical and
creative thinkers who can communicate effectively." To that end, completion of significant
program specific coursework at EKU is expected in order to earn a degree. Although course
work from other regionally accredited institutions transfers to EKU, student learning outcomes
(SLO) must be substantially the same as coursed offered at EKU to receive equivalency for EKU
classes.
; ~ ... ~L .;

Policy 4.2.11, Non-EKU Academic Credit, recognizes that oc.casionally students have completed
education, training classes, and work experiences that resultin':Jearning sufficiently similar to
major/minor specific coursework; therefore, formal recognitid~;,g':(,that body of knowledge,
without taking the particular course, is warranted upon evaluatio~f,'by,appropriately qualified
faculty. The procedure below allows EKU students who are admittett,';!rw-olled, degree seeking,
have earned 12 credit hours at EKU in a recentterm, and are on good ac~(,iemic standing, to
demonstrate competence in SLOs of specific courses and thus receive EK:U academic credit in
those subject areas.
This protocol outlines how EKU wil'L'awar:&lt;.l Qredit for pri~f'il~arning (PL) and experiences
through portfolio evaluation.

Procedure
. ,.
'"
1. Students may request credit for PL
specific'cou:ts~by completing the Request for
Academic Crtidit by Portf&lt;),fio Assessm.~pt form and submitting it to the appropriate
department chair.
2. A subject matter expert with faculty rank will be assigned by the appropriate department
chair or &lt;i¥iln and must agree to serve. as portfolio reviewer and will evaluate the portfolio
provided to determine if credit for the Gourse should be awarded
3. Once approval to submit a p&lt;&gt;rtfolio is received and a faculty member assigned, students
willprepare a portfolio as described below.
4. Any student wishing credit for mote than one course must submit a separate portfolio per
course for which credit is requested.
5. If more than one portfolio is submitted by a student, no more than 10% ofthe contents of
one portfolio (training cred~ntials, course syllabi, certificates, etc.) can be reused to meet
learning objectives ofa separate course within the same discipline.
6. A portfolio for PL must include the SLOs for the identified course as outlined in the
master syllabus from that course.
7. Students will include a narrative describing the educational or work experience being
used to demonstrate competency, including any projects, course/training content,
observations, research, or the like.
8. The narrative must specifically address each SLO of the course for which credit is
sought, and references within the narrative must connect specific assertions to supporting
documents. Supporting documents may include, but are not limited to:
a) certificates of completion from courses along with course descriptions;
b) certifications that demonstrate competence in a subject area;

EKU Dual Credit Proposed Changes

Please find attached, the updated catalog description for EKU Dual Credit. The revised catalog
description was an item of discussion at the February meeting ofCAA. Per, CAA procedure, I would
appreciate it greatly if the description could be placed on the agenda for the March meeting of CAA
for approval.
The Changes proposed involve:
1. Adjusting the participation criteria in order to serve more students.

a. Accept PLAN scores in addition to ACT scores for entrance and EKU Dual Credit
Scholarship.
b. Reduce ACT Composite requirement to 20 for general participation.
c. Exception to the Junior/Senior status requirement if a student meets a dual credit
scholarship level.
d. Exception to the 3.0 GPA requirement if recommended by the principal (limited
exceptions).
2. Reduce Whitlock Scholar Candidate ACT Composite requirement to 23 to match EKU's base
scholarship level.
3. Permit high schools to offer mixed Dual Credit/Advanced Kentucky AP courses on site, an
alternative to pure open high school enrollment.
If you require additional information, please let me know.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

students. Academically strong high school students may qualify for reduced or free tuition. (See EKU
Now! section below.)
Dual Credit students may enroll in a maximum of 2 courses per fall and spring semester of their junior
and senior years in high school at the reduced dual credit tuition rate. They may also take advantage of
the EKU "Summer 2" term, for a maximum of one course, at the reduced dual credit tuition rate, during
the summer. Students enrolling in more than two courses in the fall or spring semesters, or more than
one course during the Summer 2 term, will be charged full undergraduate tuition for the additional
coursework. A maximum of eight courses in total may be taken at the dual credit tuition rate.
Students may enroll at any EKU campus offering applicable courses. Courses may include general
education courses or departmentally approved introductory courses for specific majors. Students may
attend approved EKU courses on high school campuses via face-to-face, lTV, or online instruction.

Minimum Academic Standards
Satisfactory Progress: Degree-seeking students shall be considered as making satisfactory progress
so long as they remain in good academic standing (2.0 cumulative GPA) and enroll in courses required or
allowed in their chosen academic program.
Students having difficulty meeting academic standards are strongly advised to reduce or eliminate
part-time jobs and other extracurricular activities which may detract from their studies, or to reduce the
number of hours for which they are enrolled. To make timely progress toward degree students are
expected to earn at least 15 credit hours per fall/spring semester
Good Academic Standing: Students are expected to maintain at least a 2.0 cumulative grade point
average (GPA) while enrolled at EKU. The actions described below pertain to students whose cumulative
GPA falls below 2.0. Once a student's cumulative GPA returns to 2.0 or above, he/she is once again in
good academic standing.
Academic Probation: Students who earn a cumulative GPA ofless than 2.0 will be placed on
Academic Probation after the close of that semester. While on academic probation, students may not
enroll in more than 13 credit hours in either fall or spring terms or more than a total of six hours during a
full (12-week) summer term. Students who are on Academic Probation and cease continuous enrollment,
and subsequently wish to return to the institution, must apply for readmission and will be held to those
readmission criteria (please refer to the Requirements for Readmission section of the Catalog).

Academic Suspension: At the end of a semester on academic probation, students must have earned a
semester GPA of at least 2.0 or raised their cumulative GPA to 2.0. Students not meeting the semester or
cumulative GPA requirement will be placed on academic suspension. Students may not enroll in classes
at EKU while academically suspended. Students who are academically suspended for the first time may
not enroll in classes at EKU for one full semester (summer is counted with the next fall semester if a
student is academically suspended at the end of the spring term).
Students may be academically suspended up to three times during their academic career at EKU. The
second academic suspension is for one calendar year and a third academic suspension is for two calendar
years. An academically suspended student will return to EKU on academic probation if his/her
cumulative GPAis less than 2.0 at the time of his/her return. Previously suspended students are subject to
EKU requirements for readmission (please refer to the Requirements for Readmission section of the
Catalog).
Academic Dismissal: Students who have been academically suspended three times must maintain a
semester GPA of 2.0 or better each semester after they return. Students who have been academically
suspended three times, and after returning are unable to maintain a semester GPA of2.0, will be

�Board of Regents
CAA Agenda P. 364
June 9, 2014

academically dismissed from EKU for a period of five calendar years and are subject to EKU
requirements for readmission (please refer to the Requirements for Readmission section of the Catalog).
Attending Another School While Suspended or Dismissed: During the time a student is
academically suspended or dismissed from EKU, course work earned at another regionally accredited
college or university will be considered for transfer credit when the student returns to EKU. Students are
responsible for requesting that an official transcript of any transfer course work be sent to the EKU Office
of Admissions when they apply for readmission to EKU. Students should consult with their advisor or
college for the applicability of course work taken at another institution to their degree program at EKU. In
some circumstance acceptance of transfer work may be subject to requirements of prior approval by the
department chair of the student's major.
Appealing Academic Standing: Students may appeal an academic suspension if they believe that
catastrophic circumstances beyond their control prevented them from being academically successful.
They may appeal their academic suspension to the University Admissions Appeal Committee. For their
petition to be considered, students must provide a written appeal with appropriate supporting
documentation. Students may not appeal an academic dismissal.

Item for CAA Consideration

Sch~ry'

The Graduate School requests consideration of the proposed NEW Gmduate School policy.

Conditional Admission - International Students
The Graduate School requests a new policy on Conditional Admission for International Students. The policy is
intended for international students who do not meet the English Language Proficiency Requirement but may be
eligible for the proposed ELS program. The policy should only be implemented in the event that the ELS contract
is approved since it pertains solely to that agency under the proposed agreement. The language should be inserted
directly after the English Proficiency Requirement on page 37 or the 2013-14 Gmduate Catalog. The approved
text is included below.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Conditional Admission - International Students
International students who meet all graduate admission requirements except the English
Language Proficiency (TOEFL, IELTS, or baccalaureate degree from Institution where English is the
native language) may be eligible for Conditional Admission. Conditionally Admitted international
students will be referred to the University's English Language Services (ELS) program. Students must
then enroll in the ELS program and begin their intensive English language study. Students are eligible
to enroll in graduate courses for the program to which they have been conditionally admitted upon
successful completion of the ELS program with an Exit Exam Competency Level 112 or meet the
University's requirements on the TOEFL or IELTS.
Applicants are advised that not all programs will offer Conditional Admission. Please review the
information on the ELS website for specific questions about the intensive English language program.

1.

Specific action requested: Change the name of the Department from Department of Occupational Therapy
to Department of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy

2.

Proposed Effective Academic Term: Fall 2014

3.

Justification for this action:
The undergraduate Occupational Science Program was initiated in 2002 in response to the mandate from
the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) that entry level occupational
therapy education eat the graduate level by 2007. The Department believed that offering an undergraduate
degree in the new and evolving discipline of occupational science would better prepare the student for entry
level practice at the master's level. The Occupational Science Program has existed on this campus for 11
years and the Department is proud of the fact that we have graduated over 500 occupational science
students in preparation for occupational therapy graduate school at EKU and other occupational therapy
programs. In 2010 the Department initiated an admission process for occupational science. We currently
admit 55 students each year.
There are currently 6 Departments/Divisions of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy
colleges that include University of Southern California, University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill,
University, Towson University, University of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and St. Catherine University.
currently 5 international Programs of Occupational Science and Occupational Therapy located in
the United Kingdom, and New Zealand.

at US
St. Louis
There are
Canada,

The rationale for the name change is that it clearly defines what programs the Department offers. Adding
Occupational Science to the Department title would make it clearer to prospective students, families, and
outside interests. A name change will increase awareness and recognition of the foundational knowledge
that occupational science provides to prepare future occupational therapists for entry level practice. In
addition, this name change underscores the degree to which Eastern Kentucky University has provided
leadership in the emergence of occupational science to support the effectiveness of occupational therapy.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. Why should I consider a winter session class?
Get ahead- catch up - have a unique education experience.
Winter session could provide time for study abroad, research, or additional learning opportunities not available
during the fall and spring semesters. as well as during summer term since many students work over the break.
Discuss with your advisor opportunities for internships and for studying abroad for course credit. Depending on
course offerings, students may have the opportunity to take a course needed to complete a degree or to retake a
course if necessary.
Winter session could be the solution to a lighter course load in the spring or provide the opportunity to concentrate
on only one subject.

2. What kind of courses can I take?
On the winter session webpage you will find the academic calendar for winter session and a list of current course
offerings. Keep checking back, classes are listed as they are developed. Registration will open in early
September.
All classes will be offered as either online or off-campus experience class (e.g. study abroad, travel adventures,
practicums, internships, co-ops, etc.). No classes are offered on the Richmond campus at this time.
When considering listed courses, remember that details about a particular course may change. If you find an
interesting course, please contact the instructor directly with any questions you may have.

3. Do I need permission from my advisor and a RAC to register for winter session?
Students will not be asked for a RAC when registering for winter session, registration occurs separately from
spring/summer registration. However, students should discuss their winter session plans with an advisor to see
what possible impact their selected course may have on their graduation plans.

4. How do I register for winter session?

Registration is through EKUDirect. The dates for winter session registration are different from spring/summer- so
check the winter session calendar for details.
Students who register must have paid in full by the published deadline (see thecalendar for dates) or they will be
dropped from the class by the Registrar.
A student who is not currently an active student will need to submit a request for readmission via the EKU
Admissions webpage. If you need assistance call the Registrar Office help line at 859-622-2320 or
email registration eku.edu.
VISITING STUDENTS
Be admitted into EKU:
First you must be admitted as a visiting student. Go onto the EKU Admissions webpage and submit an application
as a visiting student. The admission processing is quick and you will receive a letter from EKU letting you know
when you have been admitted.

Register for your class:
Your letter will give you an initial password and instructions on how to log into EKU's online secure student
service portal (EKUDirect) where you can register yourself for winter session classes. In the meantime you may
contact the instructor of a winter session class by email to discuss any questions you may have.
Pay your tuition charges before the deadline:
Tuition for the class must be paid before winter session begins. The deadline is listed on the winter session
calendar and tuition can be paid online through EKUDirect.
If you need help with registration you can call the Registrar Office help line at 859-622-2320; or
email registration eku.edu; or visit us in person on the Richmond campus, Whitlock Building room 239.

5. Can I take a winter session class if I have an unpaid bill with the university?
Students must have zero debt to the university to be able to take a winter session class. Students are not
officially registered for winter session until they have submitted full tuition and fee payment, and have no
outstanding balance, as determined by Student Accounting Services (Bursar).

6. Why is winter session registration earlier and separate from spring/summer?
Rules for taking winter session classes are different from summer term or regular semesters
(fall/spring). Students must pay all tuition and other obligations to the university before they can take a
winter session class, so they need more time for payment planning. Student Accounting Services and Financial
Aid Counselors are available to help students explore financing options.

7. Can I use financial aid to pay for a winter session class?
Winter Session is considered by the Financial Aid Office to be part of the nine-month school year; therefore some
financial aid may be available from your fall award.
Students must typically save aid money from any fall semester refund for additional coursework. If no financial aid
funds are available student will be required to pay out-of-pocket before class begins.
Since each student's individual financial aid package is different it is recommended that you contact the Financial
Aid Office to review your own particular financial aid package in order to determine what may be available to you.
Students will be expected to have payment for winter session arranged by the published deadline- before the
start of winter session -or be disenrolled from the winter session classes.
Students must have filed a FAFSA for the academic year of the winter session to be considered for any needbased aid. If you have questions, contact the Office of Student Financial Assistance at 859-622-2361.

8. Why are students who register for winter session required to pay before classes begin?
Payment before the class begins protects the student from carrying over debt from winter session; which would
prevent further enrollment at EKU. Additionally, requiring payment up front forces students to take care of these
business issues while all campus business offices are open.

9. When are final exams scheduled?
Final examinations will be conducted during the normal course period on or before the last day of the winter
session. Course syllabi shall provide specific times, days, and instructions regarding grading and exams.

CAA Agenda P. 375
June 9, 2014

10. What if I need to withdraw from my course?
See the winter session calendar for dates and amounts regarding any tuition refunds.
•
Students withdraw from winter session classes online through EKUDirect.
• There is a very limited time period in which a student may receive a tuition refund. Any tuition refund is
limited strictly to the cost of tuition, any other course fees and expenses are none refundable.

11. May I live in the residence hall during winter session?
Residence halls are closed during winter session, therefore, no campus housing is available during this time.

12. Will university offices be open during winter session?
The university closes for winter break approximately one week after fall commencement and reopens around
January 2nd .There will be limited IT support for online classes during winter session. However, this support will
not be available during the winter session holiday break. See the winter session calendar for the specific dates
that the university is closed.

13. What are the expectations for course activities during the winter session holiday break?
The instructor of the winter session course will provide a daily or weekly course schedule, outlining expectations,
assessments, and assignments for the term. Generally, class assignments or exams will not be required during
the holiday break. Students will not be expected to participate in synchronous or asynchronous online activities.
Students can be assigned readings and projects but the course should allow sufficient latitude such that each
student (as well as instructor) may observe holiday activities.
However, students taking a class such as a practicum, internship, co-op, or course involving travel may have
continuing activities that could restrict their free time during holiday break.
Therefore students in winter session classes should be forewarned that holiday break is flexible, and not binding;
depending on the nature and schedule of the individual course.

14. Can my winter session class be cancelled due to low enrollment?
Yes. Each class will be required to meet a minimum enrollment. However, the university will review course
enrollments on the Wednesday before the start of winter session. If the class reaches the minimum enrollment on
that day the university will generally continue the course even if enrollment were to lower prior to starting.

15. Can I use an EKU staff scholarship to pay for a winter session class?
No, the staff scholarship cannot be used to pay for winter session.

B. The justification for this action:
The 7 program changes in Block A are required due to the following justifications:
Overall, the requested actions are required to bring the CDF Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education program
and the SED Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education program to alignment and will reduce the total number of
required hours.
1) There is a need to change CDF admission requirements for Child Development and IECE concentrations to be
in line with Teacher Admission requirements, which no longer use ACT scores to be considered for admission.
This change is requested in #1. Course content of CDF 327 S is considered base knowledge that should be
mastered before entrance into the program.
2) The reduction to fifteen hours of core courses allows more courses to be offered within each concentration.
For the Child Development and Family Studies concentrations as requested in # 2,3 and 4 current core
courses CDF 437 and CDF 538 are being moved to the required course concentration and NFA 317 is being
moved to supporting courses. NFA 201 will be added to supporting courses as an alternative to NFA 317. For
the Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education concentration, course content from CDF 437, 538 and NFA
317 will be addressed in other courses such as CDF 235, 236, 310, and 327. IECE option students may still
choose to take CDF 437 as a supporting course.
3) There is a need to change the CDF Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education concentration to align with the
Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education Special Education program. Previously a special education minor
was required of IECE students. This change will include moving six courses from the minor into the
concentration and adding two other special education courses (CDS 525 and SED 530) to the required
concentration courses. SED 104 is being added to the supporting courses as a requirement to provide
foundational knowledge. CDF 437 will be added as a choice for nine remaining hours of additional supporting
coursework and ELE 519 is being moved from the Professional Education Requirements to supporting course
choices. The combination of these courses will give students the background in special education needed for
preschool and kindergarten teachers. These change requests are reflected in #5 and 6. Eliminating the minor
and moving some courses from the minor to supporting course requirements will decrease the total number of
credit hours required from 136 to 124. Dropping CDF 399 from the IECE concentration is required to make
the Child and Family Studies and Special Education IECE programs equivalent. New education clinical work
will address the content of CDF 399.
4) Changes requested to the Professional Education Requirements in# 7 are needed to meet the requirements for
Teacher Admission and Applied Learning. Professional requirements will now include clinical work rather than
Applied Learning Field Experience.
C. The projected cost (or savings) of this proposal is as follows:
Personnel Impact: NA

Operating Expenses Impact: NA

Equipment/Physical Facility Needs: NA

Library Resources: NA

Kentucky public school certification for teaching children birth through age five. Graduates learn to prepare individual education
plans for children who experience developmental delays and support plans to assist families of those children. IECE majors will
teach in private agencies serving infants to two years and public school settings (Pre-K, three and four year olds, and
kindergarten not connected with primary programs for first through third grade). To be granted a degree in Child and Family
Studies students must have a "C" or better in all CDF and supporting courses.
Admission and Progression Requirements for Child and Family Studies Options Child Development and IECE
All students who are accepted by EKU's Admission office and declare their major as Child and Family Studies are admitted to
the University as pre-Child and Family Studies majors. However, admission to the pre-Child and Family Studies program does
not guarantee admission to the Child and Family Studies program. To be admitted to the Child and Family Studies program the
following criteria must be met: 1) Minimum of 45 hours with a 2. 75 overall GPA and an ACT 18 er 3.2 eve rail GF!A and an ACT

B. Additional Reports to the Board
1. Craig Turner, Chair
Thank you to Dean John Wade and the College of Arts &amp; Sciences for hosting the
Board of Regents today. On behalf of all of the Regents I'd like to welcome our new
Board members Alan Long and Holly Wiedemann.
As we enter a new year, I look at 2013 as a time when our campus community
came together in unprecedented ways to forge a new future. The actions and
sacrifices during those months will pay many dividends in the future. Let's take a
few minutes to reflect on the progress we've achieved ... not so we can sit back
and rest on our laurels but to encourage us and remind ourselves what hard work
and a can-do spirit can accomplish.
First of all, 2013 was marked by the arrival in August of President Benson. Our
12th President has already proven himself to be a skilled administrator, dynamic
communicator and visionary leader. He is committed to the success of each and
every one,of our students, faculty and staff to foster and facilitate an environment
that sets Eastern apart. I am confident that 2014 and the years ahead will show
we selected the right person for the job.
This past year will also be remembered for a difficult but necessary strategic
budget reallocation process that set Eastern on a different, and better course.
Thanks to the impressive teamwork of many in this room and others across the
University, the process has resulted in approximately $16.5 million in new revenue
and reallocated funds that have allowed us to move forward on many matters of
importance to faculty and staff.
I might note that Governor Beshear has publicly recognized and hailed our
budgeting process as a model for other educational institutions to follow. Several
institutions are currently following in our footsteps utilizing similar processes. If
I've learned anything in my professional life, it's that any business, organization or

488

�BOR Regular Quarterly Meeting
January 13, 2014
Page4
institution is only as good as its people. This reallocation allowed us to invest in
this university's greatest resource: you and your colleagues.
For example, we were able to give faculty and staff an across-the-board raise (their
second in the last five years). We provided funds for new faculty lines and started
the process toward faculty and staff equity. We were also able to set aside funds
for additional diversity scholarships and for capital and other reserves, among
other areas.
The primary goal of the budget reallocation was to make us more efficient in what
we do, to focus on what we do best, to evaluate areas of new growth and how we
pay for them and to enhance the educational experience of our students. We will
continue this self-evaluation annually. The toughest year is behind us.

As we learned from Dr. Wachtel at our last meeting, EKU's graduation and
retention rates are up, our students are graduating more quickly and our average
high school GPA and ACT scores for first-time freshmen are up. At a time when the
number of high school graduates in our area is down, our overall enrollment has
leveled off, but fall enrollment for online degree programs was up 37 percent,
thanks in large part to a learner-centered approach.
I have said many times that it is critical to "have the right people in the right seats
on the bus". The past year saw some administrative restructuring designed to help
the University operate more efficiently. The number of Vice Presidents was
reduced, and Barry Poynter moved seamlessly into the role of Vice President for
Finance and Administration. 2013 also saw the addition of Michael Eastman as
Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations, Dr. Verna Lowe as Dean of
the College of Education, David McFaddin as Executive Director of Government
Relation and Joel Alberts as Executive Director of our Center for the Performing
Arts. We welcome these individuals to our leadership team.
During 2013, we said a sad goodbye to se.veral members of our current faculty
and staff who passed away- We also grieved the loss of several students as well
as dozens of retired and former faculty and staff, some of whom I remember from
my own days as a student here.

2013 will also prove to be a watershed year because of the addition of a new
suite-style residence hall. Several other initiatives in various stages are being
considered to make this a more livable campus. Our immediate goal is to enhance
the on-campus experience for students. We plan to take down old dorms and
create more green space.
For the first time in a while we are thinking differently about new major projects in
a financially strained environment. We will be creative in our approach and look at
ways to leverage state and private funds to accomplish our goals. Our vision is to

489

�BOR Regular Quarterly Meeting
January 13, 2014
Page5
construct a new complex housing the College of Education and Model Lab. These
ideas require funding and proper timing.
First and foremost, by this summer, we expect to have a Tobacco-Free Campus.
Plans are underway to restore parts of the Keen Johnson building, construct a
reading porch at Crabbe Library and add a pedestrian mall· between the Library
and the Weaver Building. That's just the short list.
We have an obligation to our service area and its people. I am proud to note that
our University representatives are stepping outside the confines of campus to
serve the community and region in ways that will become more and more
important in the months and years ahead. The establishment of the Center for
Appalachian Regional Engagement and Stewardship (appropriately CARES, for
short) provides a more unified, comprehensive focus on economic and workforce
development, education, the environment, collaborative government as well as
health, wellness and safety. EKU is proud to be a part of this group.
In 2013, Eastern secured a grant from the National Science Foundation to
construct a research center at Lilley Cornett Woods. We forged a partnership with
Alice Lloyd College to prepare more nurses. We helped area residents assess
environmental risks in their well water and we assisted communities in earning
"trail town" designations.
President Benson is among dozens of leaders heading a comprehensive and
bipartisan effort aimed at "Shaping Our Appalachian Region". SOAR is helping
Kentucky's Appalachian Region move forward in the face of continued declines in
the coal industry.
So yes, we have a good story to tell. And that brings me to our continued progress
in raising the national profile of Eastern while more effectively "branding" the
University.
Friday, September 13th was certainly a day of good fortune for Eastern as we were
featured on "Good Morning America" on a segment about one of our distinguished
graduates, TV meteorologist Sam Champion. That kind of advertising, which was
seen by nearly 5 million viewers, would be valued at approximately $300,000.
Soon, designs on several water tanks around Richmond will proudly proclaim towngown pride. A new trolley is giving prospective students and their families a much
better look at our entire Richmond campus. And we are introducing new logos.
Throughout the year, Eastern continued to earn distinction from Forbes Magazine,
US News and several veterans-oriented publications as being among the nation's
best university for veterans. Of course, we knew that already. We're just happy that
people outside our community also are learning about our successful program.

I end with this thought and message. Whitney Young Jr. was born in Lincoln Ridge,
Kentucky, attended Kentucky State Industrial College (later KSU). He became the
Executive Director of the National Urban League and a recipient of the Presidential
Medal of Freedom. His mother was a teacher and his father was a principal. I
found his words to be appropriate as we start this New Year.
Whitney Young, Jr. states:
·change has a considerable Impact on the human mind.

To the fearful, It is threatening because It means that things may get worse.
To the hopeful, It Is encouraging because things may get better.
But to the confident, It is Inspiring because the challenge exists to make things
better".

Thank you for your continued hard work and dedication. I have no doubt that by
continuing to work together, 2014 will exceed all of our expectations. Our best
days are ahead of us.
Eastern is on the rise. Thank you.
2. Sarah carpenter, SGA President
Ms. Carpenter reported the evening shuttle service will go on a fixed route in
February for students to have a reliable system.
She explained SGA wants to renovate the student center and create a campus
improvement committee to allow students to choose a project to work on with the
student union dollars and possibly allow students to vote on the project.
Ms. Carpenter created a student body President's Council to build the next
generation of EKU students. Select students are those interested in a "leadership
track" and those who show promise in climbing the SGA latter. These students will
attend seminars to enhance their leadership abilities.

3. Sheila Pressley, Faculty Senate Chair
Dr. Sheila Pressley thanked the Board for the opportunity to share with them the
perspective from the faculty. There are currently five topics that are on the faculty's
minds.
Athletics presentation. Mark Sandy gave a presentation in December to Faculty Senate on
the possibilities for EKU's athletic program. For the most part, the presentation is well
received, but I would advise the administration to engage in a series of forums and
communications with the campus once more information can be shared.

491

Lectureship Policy. This policy was reviewed by the Board earlier today. This policy is the
result of many discussions on the fairness and longevity given to Lecturers. This policy
provides ample time to Lecturers and Department Chairs to prepare for personnel
changes if necessary.
A policy Forum is scheduled for January 23rd at 3 pm on Annual Review/Post Tenure
Review. This policy has been discussed at length by several faculty groups on campus.
This forum will be a shared effort between Faculty Senate and Academic Affairs. I will
moderate the forum as the faculty ask questions of the Provost and the members of the
drafting team.
On February 21st, the American Association of University Professors (MUP) is sponsoring
a panel at 3:30 pm in the Teaching Learning Center. Our Faculty Regent, Amy Thieme and
our BOR Chairman, Craig Turner will be members of the panel discussion.
Lynnette Noblitt and I met with the Deans and Chairs on January 7th to discuss salary
equity. We have outlined a review process that involve two levels of reviews before final
recommendations are presented.

4. Leah Banks, Staff Council President
In December, Staff Council held a regular election and special election to fill the
vacated seats. The list of the newly elected Staff Council members and their
represented areas are:

Initiatives
Staff Council partnered with the Library on one of their many events offered to
students during dead and finals week. We had a table set up in Java City where
students could create a stress ball. This was a great way for us to interact with the
students outside of daily work routine and it was very enjoyable.
For the upcoming year, Staff Council will be working with Brian Makinen in
Environmental Health and Safety to share information about various health and
safety topics on a monthly basis.
Staff Council will start planning a "Day of Service" event for the staff of EKU. This
will be a great way for staff to give back to EKU and our community.

5. Michael Benson, President
President Benson welcomed the Board of Regents to campus and thanked the College of
Arts and Sciences for hosting the January Board meeting.
President Benson updated the Regents and guests on several items.
He noted EKU's efforts in aiding the SOAR "Shaping our Appalachian Region" project. EKU
will spearhead and sponsor a website with the goal to develop an online resource that
outlines all post-secondary educational opportunities in the SOAR region. This website
would provide information and links to various resources.
President Benson stated the importance of Human Capital. The IPEP Review Group is
completing its review of Faculty and Staff Salary Equity with final recommendations to be
proposed by April 2014. He thanked the group for their hard work and due diligence in
this very important process.
The Student Success division will be filled with interim appointments of three individuals
within the organization. Dr. Libby Wachtel assumed the title of Vice President for Student
Success. Dr. Brett Morris has taken on the responsibility of Executive Director for
Enrollment Management, and Dr. Gene Palka will be the Executive Director for Retention
and Graduation. Each of these individuals is uniquely-suited to take on these vital roles.
President Benson thank them for their willingness to serve as we give our newly-created
Student Success area both form and function. In addition, President Benson publically
thanked Dr. Claire Good for her role and guidance as Interim VP for Student Affairs.
Furthermore, Mr. Mark Sandy has moved into the Interim Vice President role for Marketing
and Communications with Mr. Simon Gray filling in as Interim Director for Athletics.
President Benson expressed his sincere appreciation for everyone's role in these
important jobs as we continue to move EKU forward.
The Alumni Relations office will be transitioning to the Blanton House which will be called
Alumni Center at the Blanton House. The first floor of the Blanton House will serve to host
receptions and meetings. The upstairs will house offices for the Alumni Relations staff. At
this time, no decision has been made as to the use of the Alumni House.
College Sports News (CNS) has announced the establishment of the Roy Kidd Award.
CNS, one of the major news services covering the NCAA Football Championship
Subdivision (FCS), has announced that its NCAA FCS Coach of the Year will now receive
the Roy Kidd Award. CSN plans to hand out the inaugural Roy Kidd Award this January.
In other sports news, the EKU men's team placed 15th out of the 31 top teams in the
country at the Division I NCAA Cross Country Championships in Terre Haute, Ind., the
highest finish in program history.
Finally, President Benson noted that it was important to him that he remained grounded in
the real mission of the university - teaching students. For that reason, in addition to his
duties as President, this spring 2014, he will develop an honors/political science class on
the Congress and the Presidency with Kentucky 6th District Representative Andy Barr.

the Faculty Internal Pay Equity Program (Faculty IPEP) and the Staff Internal Pay Equity
Program (Staff IPEP), utilizing $1 million in recurring funds.
The first phrase was the 2.5 percent across-the- board salary increase for faculty and staff
implemented last October, representing an annual investment of approximately $3.7
million. Also as a part of Phase 1, a Step-in-Grade Program was implemented early this
year, with an additional investment of approximately $500,000 in recurring monies. Total
investment in salaries for faculty and staff amounts to $5.6 million recurring funds.

Strategic Planning Process Continues
The entire campus community is encouraged to stay informed and contribute its input into
the University's ongoing strategic planning process. A campus-wide survey was distributed
by e-mail recently to all faculty and staff, and the web site devoted to this vital undertaking
(strategicolanning.eku.edu) includes an online suggestion box. Focus groups have also
been consulted.
Matt Roan, special assistant to the President, and Stacey Street, interim executive director
for Institutional Effectiveness, are co-chairing a Strategic Planning Steering Committee that
represents the broad range of University interests and will honor the values of shared
governance and transparency, while being bold and aggressive as to University aspirations.
Input teams will further help to recognize the voice of students, faculty, staff and all other
stakeholders. Strategic initiative teams will focus on and monitor progress of activities
undertaken throughout campus to achieve specific strategic initiatives.
The timeline is as follows:
Spring and Summer 2014- focus groups, surveys, formation of input teams,
environmental scan, drafting of vision, mission, values, goals, and strategic
initiatives
Fall 2014- final version of vision, mission, values, goals, and strategic initiatives.
Draft and finalize key performance indicators. Form strategic initiative teams.
January 2015- completion of 2015-2020 EKU Strategic Plan
Summer 2015- strategic initiative teams begin process of monitoring activities
and key performance indicators

the state's educational attainment goals, both at the associate and baccalaureate degree
levels.
The KCTCS Transfer Summit consisted of three tracks, one each for presidents, chief
academic officers, and transfer professionals. The keynote address featured Dr. Stephen J.
Handel, Associate Vice President-Undergraduate Admissions for the University of California
(UC) System. Prior to joining UC in 2013, he served as the Executive Director of the
National Office of Community College Initiatives at the College Board. Following the keynote
address, Dr. McCall hosted a special session with presidents in a facilitated discussion led
by Dr. Bonita Jacobs, President of the University of North Georgia and the founding director
of the National Institute for the Study of Transfer Students. This session focused on the
development of an action agenda for collaboration between and among our institutions to
increase transfer student success.
