Chair Turner noted the presence of a quorum. Committee Members Present: Craig Turner Nancy Collins Richard Day Lewis Diaz Alan Long Information Items A. Student Success Update (Dr. Gene Palka, Vice President for Student Success) Dr. Palka presented on student success metrics, a copy of which is incorporated herein, and will be included with the official copy of the minutes. B. Pell Plus Concept (Dr. Brett Morris, Executive Director, Enrollment Management) Dr. Morris presented on the Pell Plus Concept, a copy of which is incorporated herein, and will be included with the official copy of the minutes. Chair Turner stated the Pell Plus Pilot Program will be added as an Action Item on the agenda, and the language “up to 100” will be added to the resolution document. C. Legislative Update (Dr. David McFaddin, Vice President of Engagement, Regional Stewardship and Government Relations) Dr. McFaddin presented a legislative update to the committee, including HB 200, the budget bill, which contains a 6.25% cut to post-secondary education institutions, along with a recurring mid-year reduction of 1.3%, approximately $650,000. Combined, it is $5 million per year in Executive and Academic Affairs Committee Minutes Page 1 of 6 Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 20 �recurring reductions. There were also proposed cuts to two mandated programs, one in the sum of $200,000 to the Center for the Arts; the other was a $150,000 reduction to Model Laboratory School. The funding exercise two years ago identified the K-12 initiative at Model being a mandated program established in 1906 for the Normal School; those funds were protected from the performance funding calculation. Those were two of the 70 programs that were identified in the executive budget for reduction. The House budget bill is expected to be dropped later this week, so there will be some edits to this information. The conversations with members of the House have been encouraging in that they want to try to find some way to mitigate the impact to education. The issue will be finding the amount of revenue necessary to offset that, along with the obligations in growth and Medicaid and pensions. Senate Bill 1, the pension bill, was released last week. The high level analysis of this bill for EKU is that KERS new hires would go into a defined contribution plan housed at the state. Existing KERS employees would have the option to opt out and opt in to that defined contribution plan. Inconsistent with what we have asked for as an institution are as follows. One, is that it would not take effect until July 1, 2019. We had been asking for a little quicker response time with a July 1, 2018 timeline. Also, employees entering that defined contribution plan would be in that 401(a) at the state level. We operate an ORP, a 403(b), as an institution. We do quite well operating that within our own organizational structure, and our request would be that any employees who went into a defined contribution plan would go into our defined contribution plan so that we could manage it at the University level going forward. All the comprehensive postsecondary institutions agree that is a strategy for us. We are also trying to understand how the percentage of payroll will be determined for normal costs. That is referenced in the actuarial-level dollar definition. What that comes down to is the fact that it is an assumption of what our total liabilities are in the actuarial calculation. We are asking one, how do we verify that number; two, when will those actuarial analyses be released so we can see what the real liability is that the University holds. We have also requested, for the postsecondary institutions who are able, to participate in KTRS. For our professional staff and our faculty who could participate in KTRS, who opt to be in our ORP, we pay a 5% penalty to the state for that. For EKU, that is about $1.8 million per year. There seems to be some traction in trying to eliminate that penalty. A quick update on the Model charter school. We are making progress and Betina Gardner is chairing the Strategic Steering Committee in that endeavor. The committee has developed a draft mission and vision statement based on a comprehensive report from the task force and the input from the Model constituencies. They have been meeting for the past couple of months and that is moving forward, as well as meeting with policymakers in Frankfort regarding the application and potential funding models for charters in Kentucky. The application requires a lengthy description of the governance model. It is being developed by members of the Steering Committee but not vetted by the entire committee, so we are in the governance evaluation process. While this Board will be responsible for oversight, a board will be charged at an operational level to address the general day to day operations. There is a good start on the budget template, but until there is a Executive and Academic Affairs Committee Minutes Page 2 of 6 Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 21 �financing mechanism that is determined by the legislature and the executive branch, we cannot move forward with the application until that financing is secure. In the absence of the opportunity to ask for more capital and operating funds, we have been able to approach the legislature with some statutory relief issues. Specifically, Senate Bill 130, the Clery-Minger Compliance Bill, was filed so that we would be in compliance with federal law as it relates to police reporting at the state level. That bill is moving through the Senate and should be received in the House and appropriately passed in the House as well. House Bill 453, which was filed last week, has two parts. One, it will extend full tuition waiver benefits to any dependent of a military veteran who is 70% disabled. The current statue requires 100% disabled status for their dependents to receive those benefits. This is aligned with the Governor’s desire to make Kentucky a very veteran-friendly state, able to recruit and retain those veterans who possibly retire out of a number of military installations in and around Kentucky. Along with this bill, there is also language to eliminate the postsecondary waiver that has been existence in Kentucky since House Bill 1 (1997), which established that there would be six hours of postsecondary credit scholarship awarded for any employee of a postsecondary institution to go to another postsecondary institution. The collective wisdom is that institutions can no longer bear the burden of the mandatory scholarship. If this bill is passed it will be left to EKU to decide what type of tuition benefits we want to offer to our own employees. The postsecondary waiver scholarship is about $3.1 million in our budget as an institution. A statutory relief bill is schedule to be filed this week. We met with individuals in the House of Representatives. This is an omnibus bill that deals with everything from procurement to capital leases, to technology, the ability to have more flexibility for open meetings, and flexibility around general university operations. It reduces the red tape that is implemented on higher education in Kentucky. We are hopeful to see a draft of that bill later this week. There is a bill on KEES funding, which is very important to us. We get a substantial amount of KEES funding at EKU. Campus concealed carry is an issue. We have been discussing this issue with Regent Makinen and will be very prevalent in Frankfort to talk about the implications of concealed carry on university campuses when that opportunity presents itself. Student health issues, free speech. There are a litany of issues that we are tracking. This has been a fairly slow session for bill filing, so we will keep you updated. Senate Resolution 115. If you were at Colonels at the Capitol, President Benson, this Board was recognized by the Senate for taking action to freeze tuition for the 2018-2019 academic year. We were commended for taking that action. One final comment, as you asked Barry about performance funding, we are in a hold harmless year this year for performance funding, which means there is no money in, no money out. In the last cycle we yielded about $78,000 new dollars. As we go into the 1% year, which will be the FY19 year, there will be an additional $650,000 pulled out of our budget held in the performance funding account until that year closes and we get that award. So we will be operating with about $650,000 left on top of the cut to fund the performance pool in FY 19. FY 20 will be 2% or $1.2 million that will be out of our budget that year just to fund the performance pool. Executive and Academic Affairs Committee Minutes Page 3 of 6 Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 22 �In response to questions from Board members, Dr. McFaddin clarified that in 2006, when the Center for the Arts was established, the current proposed cut of $200,000 was earmarked from the existing appropriation to set aside for the Community Operations Board and the support of the Center. Dr. McFaddin closed by noting that EKU is working with the Kentucky delegation, specifically Andy Barr’s office, regarding the federally-funded TRIO programs that serve a significant percent of the EKU student population. The fifth Colonels at the Capitol took place on February 6, 2018. Thank you to those who could make it. We had about 100 folks from EKU and the community and it made a big impact. Action Items A.

Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 33 �PROGRAM REVISIONS The following proposed program revisions are presented for approval by the Board of Regents. COLLEGE OF BUSINESS & TECHNOLOGY Department of Management, Marketing, & International Business 1. Page B.B.A. in Marketing/PGA Golf Management Concentration 41 Update required courses to reduce total number of hours to 121.5 and to meet the Standards and Criteria of PGA of America University Program accreditation. COLLEGE OF HEALTH SCIENCES Department of Recreation & Park Administration 2. Page B.S. in Recreation and Park Administration 44 Change the “Recreation Management & Programming” concentration title to “Recreation Management and Event Planning” to align with industry standards and be more easily recognizable for recruits and employers. COLLEGE OF JUSTICE & SAFETY Department of Fire Protection & Paramedicine Sciences 3. Page Minor in Emergency Medical Care 47 Decrease required courses to allow for increased flexibility in electives and enable students to better meet their career needs. Department of Safety & Security 4. Page University Certificate in Homeland Security 49 Include the revised course HLS 465: Unconventional Threats and Responses as an elective and remove dropped courses from the certificate. 5. University Certificate in Security Management 51 Make HLS 391 a required course and HLS 320 an elective course in the certificate and remove dropped course. 6. Minor in Disaster Management 53 Removed revised courses EMC 450 and HLS 465 and add GEO electives to the minor. 7. Minor in Homeland Security 55 Include the revised course HLS 465: Unconventional Threats and Responses as an elective and remove dropped courses from the certificate. 8. Minor in Occupational Safety 57 Add OSH 110: Introduction to Safety Studies as a foundation course to support student progression through the minor; remove OSH 305; and make OSH 410 a writing-intensive course. 9. Minor in Security Operations 59 Make HLS 391 a required course and HLS 320 an elective course in the minor and remove dropped course. 10. B.S. in Homeland Security 61 Include the revised course HLS 465: Unconventional Threats and Responses and HLS 430: Domestic Terrorism as core courses in the program; decrease supporting course requirements to allow more flexibility in electives; and remove a dropped course. Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 34 �Department of Safety & Security (cont’d) Page 11. B.S. in Occupational Safety 64 Reduce the core requirement hours and create supporting course requirement options to ensure a more logical and coherent plan for majors with clear and ideal supporting course options and to meet standards for Board of Certified Safety Professionals and the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. COLLEGE OF LETTERS, ARTS, & SOCIAL SCIENCES Department of English -1 Page 12. Minor in English 67 Remove ENG 301: Advanced Composition to make ENG 310: Intro to English Studies the gateway course for the minor and increase upper level elective hours to compensate for the removed course. Department of Geosciences Page 13. B.S. in Geology 69 (1) Add three courses (GLY 210, GLY 460, and GEO 501) as electives to create a more robust degree program that enhances graduates’ preparation for a career or for graduate school; (2) Include PHY 131 and 201 as supporting course options in the Professional concentration for more mathematically rigorous students; (3) Remove MAT 217 as a supporting course requirement in the Academic concentration because most students in the program have earned AP Calculus credit or completed calculus before attending EKU; (4) Remove GLY 102: Earth Science for Teachers from the core because the suspension of the Earth Sciences/Teaching program eliminated the pipeline from teaching majors into the B.S. in Geology; (5) Separate non-geoscience and geoscience supporting courses in DegreeWorks and the catalog display to facilitate providing accurate major/discipline-related GPAs to potential graduate schools; (6) Remove dropped courses and make editorial revisions as needed. COLLEGE OF SCIENCE Department of Biological Sciences Page 14. B.S. in Biology – New Concentration/Concentration Suspension 73 Replace the Botany concentration with a new concentration in Biodiversity and Conservation that (1) serves as a brand to help prospective students find a niche within the biological sciences, (2) serves students who would have pursued the suspended Environmental Studies degree, and (3) continues to serve students with an interest in Botany, but with a more flexible plan of courses. Department of Chemistry Page 15. Minor in Forensic Science 81 Update the core and elective requirements to provide a pathway for non-science majors to complete the minor by (1) adding criminal justice elective options and (2) reducing course requirements with heavy biology- or chemistry-related pre-requisite courses where appropriate. 16. B.S. in Forensic Science 83 Add a DNA Profiling course (FOR 331) to the program’s core; update the Forensic Biology option to include a Forensic Microscopy course (FOR 451/451L) and provide pathways for students to select a focus area in DNA, forensic anthropology, bioinformatics, or trace evidence; add elective options in Fire Science (FSE 350 and 380) and a supporting course in Police Studies (PLS 316); update requirements to include cross-listed courses; and revise catalog display to correlate to the 3+2 B.S and M.S. in Forensic Science dual degree program. Changes are proposed to meet accreditation requirements from the American Academy of Forensic Science along with input from an advisory board, to give students more flexibility regarding focus areas; and to correlate the undergraduate degree with the 3+2 degree in the catalog. Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 35 �Department of Chemistry (cont’d) Page 87 17. B.S. and M.S. in Forensic Science/Chemistry – Accelerated 3+2 Dual Degree Remove the Forensic Biology option from the 3+2 Dual Degree. Proposed changes to the option now require more biology courses than chemistry courses, and students in the option no longer meet the entrance requirement to the M.S. in Chemistry program. Further, the job market for graduates in Forensic Biology does not require the M.S. in Chemistry resulting in low student interest. Additional changes to the catalog display reflect proposed changes to the B.S. in Forensic Science. PROGRAM SUSPENSIONS The following proposed program suspensions are presented for approval by the Board of Regents. COLLEGE OF JUSTICE & SAFETY Department of Safety & Security 1.

Revised* Program Text (*Use strikethrough for deletions and underlines for additions.) Departmental Certificate in Professional & Technical Writing The Certificate in Professional and Technical Writing (CPTW) is designed for two primary groups: 1) Current EKU students from a wide variety of majors (e.g., the Sciences, Engineering, the Humanities, etc.) who wish to improve their writing and communication skills and improve their job prospects. 2) Non-degree-seeking business people from the region who want to improve their writing and communication skills and/or document those skills (in Certificate form) for present/future employers. With an emphasis on improving their writing, students pursuing a CPTW will learn how to communicate effectively – using text, speech, visual design, and interactive theory – in several multimedia formats, for technical, professional, and general audiences in regional, national, and international contexts. Upon completion of the CPTW, students will have learned first how to effectively gather, organize, and analyze pertinent information for a professional project, and then how to compose, revise, and present the results to the intended audiences across all industries. Core Requirements…………………………………………18 hours ENG 300; ENG 400; ENG 500; BEM 202; BEM 203; CCT 310 Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 38 �New Minor, Concentration, or Department Certificate Proposal Approval Form When proposing a new minor, concentration, or department certificate, the following factors should be considered: • Minors and certificates often add time to degree. • Minors can increase the number of credit hours that students have at graduation. • Minors and certificates can potentially increase student debt because of the factors above. • Minors, concentrations, and department certificates can significantly add to faculty workloads. • Minors, concentrations, and department certificates increase the need for oversight and administration. The following information should be provided in addition to the normal curriculum change forms. Before a new minor, concentrati on, or department certificate is submitted to CAA, the Dean must approve the proposal based on the information on this form and any other information requested by the Dean. PROFESSIONAL AND TECHNICAL WRITING DEPARTMENTAL C E R T I F I C A T E From the Proposing Program 1. How will the new minor, concentration, or department certificate attract new students to EKU? On what is this based? What is the marketing plan? Two potential groups of people who might seek a Professional and Technical Writing Certificate (PTWC) include: 1. Current EKU students from a wide variety of majors (e.g.,the Sciences, Engineering, the Humanities, etc.) who wish to improve their writing and communication skills and improve their job prospects 2. Non-degree-seeking business people from the Richmond-Lexington area who not only wish to improve their writing and communication skills, but who also want to document those skills (in Certificate form) for present and future employers. The marketing plan consists of four parts: 1. Designing a website, bookmark, and postcard to advertise the program and highlight its benefits. 2. Recording a 4-minute recruitment video to present to potential certificate seekers. 3. Visiting ENG 102 and CMS 100 classes. 4. Speaking to the Richmond Chamber of Commerce. 2. What is the justification for the proposed curriculum proposal? (i.e., industry demand, job market, accreditation requirement, etc.) Provide evidence. The Department of English no longer offers a concentration in Technical Writing. More importantly, Technical and Professional Writers get jobs. Technical and Professional Writing has been a growing career field over the past several decades and the Bureau of Labor Statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor predicts that the number of jobs will grow by 10% (which is faster than average) over the next decade. (Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2016-17 Edition, Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 39 �Technical Writers, on the Internet at https://www .bls.gov/ooh/media-and ­ communication/technical -writers.htm visited September 03, 2017.) We can point to two primary reasons that the field of Technical and Professional Writing will continue to expand: 1. As technology becomes more integral and more pervasive within most of the business (and research and non-profit) community, employers will need more people who can "communicate" that technology from one group to another, both within the organization, as well as to customers, clients, suppliers, and other businesses outside of the organization. 2. As organizations continue to grow in size and complexity, good managers recognize the need to document the processes within that organization in order to maintain productivity and efficiency from one generation of workers to the next. Technical and Professional Writers are the employees responsible for documenting those processes . 3. What are the qualifications of the faculty to teach the curriculum? Are there sufficient faculty resources to teach the curriculum? Explain. There are sufficient faculty resources to teach the curriculum. Dr. Rick Mott teaches three of the six classes : ENG 300 - Introduction to Technical and Professional Writing; ENG 400 - Advanced Technical Writing and Document Production; and ENG 500 - Digital Literacy: Visual Rhetoric. Mott has seven years of professional experience as a writer for business (in both corporate and family-run businesses), he specialized in Technical Writing while earning his doctorate in English Language and Literature, he coordinated the Technical Writing concentration in the English rnajor at EKU for the past eight years, and he has been teaching Technical and Professional Writing at the university level for almost 20 years.

Before coming to EKU, Dr. Whitehouse taught for 15 years at Whitworth University in Spokane, Wash ., where she also served as department chair. Previously,she chaired the Media Ethics Division of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication and the National Journalism Education Committee for the Society of Professional Journalists. She earned both her master's and doctorate from the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Journalism, and served a journalist for newspapers in Tennessee and Alabama, as well as for a religion news service in Southeast Asia. -Tricia Fulkes Kelley is serving as adviser to The Eastern Progress and also teaches the BEM 203 class .She has worked professionally and also has taught at WVU. A 2016 Knight Innovator in Residence and one of the Online News Association's 2012 MJ Bear fellows, she holds contracts with the Smithsonian Institution, assisting projects in online presence and storytelling.

His honors include a Certificate of Appreciation from the U.S. Embassy in Berlin, and Undergraduate Faculty Scholar of the Year for 2009 at Azusa Pacific University. Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 41 �4. What are the potential costs of the proposed curriculum addition, especially 3-5 years from implementation? Fully explain the answer, particularly if there are no perceived costs. • Because all the courses are currently being taught, there are no new costs associated with this proposed certificate. • Because 50% of the curriculum is taught by Technical Writing instructors, the department of English (more specifically, the current coordinator of the soon-to­ be-retired Technical Writing concentration) will take responsibility for administering the program. • Because the PTWC emphasizes practical business skills, one of the assignments in ENG 400 - Advanced Technical Writing and Document Production requires students to give informational and recruitment presentations in collaborative teams to 3 other academic classes (usually ENG 102 and CMS 100, but other classes can be substituted).

The following information should be provided in addition to the normal curricu lum change forms. Before a new minor. concentration. or department certificate is submitted to CAA, the Dean must approve the proposal based on the information on this form and any other information requested by the Dean . From the Proposing Program PROPOSED NEW DEPARTMENTAL CERTIFICATE: PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION 1. How will the new minor, concentration, or department certificate attract new students to EKU? On what is this based? What is the marketing plan? The courses in the new Certificate duplicate courses already offered for the minor in Public Administration. New students may be attracted to the opportunity to earn a departmental-level certificate since any student may earn it, regardless of degree. The Certificate can be earned along the way to a degree and can provide students with a tangible reward before they complete 120 hours, and, perhaps, motivate them to continue their education. e-Campus will actively market the Certificate per the usual methods. Faculty in Government will inform students of the option to earn the Certificate. 2. What is the justification for the proposed curriculum proposal? (i.e., industry demand, job market, accreditation requirement, etc.) Provide evidence. This new Certificate mirrors the recently removed ''track" in the Bachelor of General Studies - Professional Track, and is proposed in response to administrators' requests for such certificates to serve e-Campus and on-campus adult learners. The new Certificate will be open to all students, regardless of degree and regardless of campus (online and inperson classes available).

The number of hours in the certificate (13) will be advantageous to those not wanting a full degree. We will attract given the applied nature of the material as well as the unique facilities we have available for those interested in the courses. The departmental certificate doesn't require any chemistry major courses or advanced mathematics. Attraction for the new certificate will occur with the following recruitment methods: • Advertising on social media (e.g. Facebook, twitter) through Departmental and College Pages • Contact Communication and Branding to do a focus story about the Fermentation Science program which would include the certificate • Visit local high schools or attend college fairs to advertise the certificate • Connect with local breweries that would be willing to post flyers for the academic program • Setup announcements at national conferences where fermentation science faculty will be attending including the American Society for Brewing Chemists (ASBC), Master Brewers Association of the Americas (MBAA), and the Craft Brewers Conference (CBC) New Minor, Concentration, or Department Certificate Approval Form Page I1 Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 48 �2. What is the justification for the proposed curriculum proposal? (i.e., industry demand, job market, accreditation requirement, etc.) Provide evidence. The fermentation industry has experienced continued growth in the past five years with considerable impacts. The main evidence is provided by the Brewers Association (BA) that provides statistical information and reports on the status of the fermentation (brewing industry). Recent information from BA and other sources is available at the following: • Economic Im pact: https://www.brewersassociation.org/statistics/ economic-impactdata/ • Nationa I Statistics: https://www .brewersassociation .org/statistics/nationa l-beersales-production-data/ • Fermentation Growth and Innovation: https://www.fa rbes. com/ sites/bi snow/2017 /06/21/ crafty-I and lords-what-ownersneed-to-know-befo re-leasing-to-beer-brewers/#1e31637547 dc The proposed curriculum will allow students to gain a fundamenta l understanding of the processes involved with fermentation and methods needed to maintain a sustainable product (from a scientific point of view). Because the certificate is only 13 credits, it is a viable option for people already working in the industry. 3. What are the qualifications of the faculty to teach the curriculum? Are there sufficient facu lty resources to teach the curriculum? Explain. Faculty members have formal education in Chemistry and/ or Biochemistry. Additional experience and knowledge in fermentation have also occurred through formal education and professional development. Specific professional development has been attendance to official workshops and certificate programs through other universities or internships with local breweries. The available background and development of the faculty has allowed the formation of fermentation courses that have already been approved and available in the EKU Undergraduate Catalog. These courses will be maintained (but revised) to fit the proposed certificate. Faculty are available to teach courses but adjuncts are available if significant growth is experienced. 4. What are the potential costs of the proposed curriculum addition, especially 3-5 years from implementation? Fully expla in the answer, particularly if there are no perceived costs. Current fermentation cou rses t aught by chemistry faculty already exist in the undergraduate catalog and are being revised for the existing major and this proposed certificate. There are no additional courses being added to the catalog (just revisions) for the hours needed for the certificate. Course fees for the associated labs will still be in maintained after courses are revised to cover consumable and equipment replacement costs. Additional general laboratory supplies will be acqu ired in a similar manner as other chem istry and forensic science courses that exist in the department. If enrollment growth is experienced (e.g. 3-5 years) in the courses after implementation, then adjunct facult y will be considered to cover course sections (lect ure and labs) and the number enrolled will need to be large enough to justify the use of adjuncts.

Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 58 �Program 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 proposed Bachelor of Science degree program in Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity is a rigorous program that is designed to prepare students to build a solid foundation of knowledge and skills and develop a career in the field of digital forensics and/or cybersecurity. 2. List the objectives of the proposed program. These objectives should deal with the specific institutional and societal needs that this program will address. The mission of the Bachelor of Science program in Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity is to provide students with an education that will prepare them to develop a career in the field of digital forensics and/or cybersecurity. The program has the following Program Educational Objectives (PEOs): The graduates of the program will PEO 1: Be productive professionals in the digital forensics and/or cybersecurity industry As the Kentucky is experiencing a shortage of digital forensics and cybersecurity professionals, there is a need to produce graduates to meet the demand of the digital forensics and/or cybersecurity industry. PEO 2: Be prepared for advanced studies in the fields of digital forensics and/or cybersecurity Our second objective is to prepare our students for entry into and successful completion of an advanced degree in the digital forensics and/or cybersecurity fields. 3. Explain how the objectives support the institutional mission and strategic priorities, the statewide postsecondary education strategic agenda, and the statewide strategic implementation plan. a. Institutional mission and strategic priorities The mission of EKU as a school of opportunity is to foster personal growth and prepare students to contribute to the success and vitality of their community, the Commonwealth, and the world. This mission is accomplished by focusing on six strategic goals: • Academic excellence • Commitment to student success • Institutional distinction • Financial strength • Campus revitalization • Service to communities and region The proposed program is consistent with EKU’s mission through providing students an education that will prepare them to build a solid foundation of knowledge and skills and develop a career in the field of digital forensics and /or cybersecurity and by fulfilling its objectives that state that within 3‐5 years of their graduation, the graduates of 2 Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 59 �the program will become productive professionals with leadership skills, continue to develop and advance in their professional field, and serve the community as a professional. The program will contribute to EKU’s strategic goals of academic excellence, commitment to student success, institutional distinction, and service to communities and region: Academic Excellence The current Computer Forensics & Security Concentration in the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Computer Science program is accredited by the Forensic Science Programs Accreditation Commission (FEPAC). The focus of the current program is on digital forensics. The proposed program will expand the scope of the current program by adding a cybersecurity element to the curriculum to create a comprehensive digital forensics and cybersecurity education program. The program will maintain its FEPAC accreditation status and will also provide students with technical training to develop a career in the demanding field of cybersecurity. The curriculum of the proposed program is uniquely designed to provide a comprehensive coverage of advanced knowledge, technology, and skills in both digital forensics and cybersecurity areas. With a comprehensive cybersecurity and digital forensics curriculum that meets the FEPAC accreditation standards, the proposed program will grow into a regionally as well as nationally recognized program with academic excellence. Commitment to Student Success The program will provide students an education and training in the field of digital forensics and cybersecurity through a unique academic curriculum and dedicated faculty with integrated teaching and learning approach. To be committed to student success, the program has developed a complete assessment process to evaluate the achievement of the program educational objectives and the attainment of the student learning outcomes. This self‐assessment will lead to continuous improvement of the program’s academic curriculum, faculty teaching qualities, and student support services and thus continuously improve student success in their education and in their professional careers after they graduate. Institutional Distinction EKU’s Computer Forensics & Security Concentration in the B.S. in Computer Science program is one of the first two programs in U.S. to receive FEPAC accreditation in undergraduate digital forensics. The proposed program will continue to be FEPAC accredited. It will increase EKU’s recognition and position EKU as a premier university in the education of the field. Service to Communities and Region There are currently no similar BS programs in the Commonwealth and only a few in the nation. The proposed program will attract students within the Commonwealth and out of state from our region to EKU, especially with the new out of state Smart Tuition. Our goal is to produce knowledgeable and skillful graduates to meet the fast‐ growing workforce demand for digital forensic and cybersecurity professionals, and serves better to the Commonwealth as well as to the nation. b. Statewide Postsecondary Education Strategic Agenda The proposed program supports the statewide postsecondary education strategic agenda. First of all, it supports CPE strategy 9.5: “Identify current and emerging workforce demands, entrepreneurial business opportunities, and stackable credentials that can lead to additional education/training”. The demand for cybersecurity professionals is very strong, with a job growth rate of 18% per year, according to Occupational Outlook Guide. The program will provide students with a strong undergraduate education so that they can develop a career in digital forensics and cybersecurity. At the same time, the technical training required in the program will prepare students to pursue advanced digital forensics and cybersecurity studies. Secondly, the program will support CPE Strategy 9.6: “Advance Kentucky’s STEM and health agendas through ongoing leadership, advocacy, and collaboration”. The 3 Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 60 �program will develop students into leaders in the digital forensics and cybersecurity fields, working side by side with law enforcement agencies, homeland security agencies, and the intelligence community. c. Statewide Strategic Implementation Plan The proposed program supports the statewide strategic implementation plan. This new program is designed to develop students into productive digital forensic and cybersecurity professionals who are capable of developing and advancing professionally through continued formal education and professional activities. To achieve these objectives, some of the essential components that the achieving of statewide postsecondary educational strategies depends on are integrated into the program’s development, operation and continuous improvement. These components include a shared responsibility, measures of progress, and progress report as indicated in the 2016‐ 2021 Statewide Strategic Agenda for Postsecondary and Adult Education. To develop and maintain a high quality academic program in digital forensics and cybersecurity, the program will form an advisory board with members coming from the industry and law enforcement community to seek advice and recommendations for program’s continuous improvement and advancement. To contribute to EKU and share its responsibility of producing high quality professionals in this highly demanded field in the Commonwealth, the program will continue to seek FEPAC accreditation and maintain its high standards to recruit, retain and educate students. The program will also have a complete program assessment and progress report plan as indicated in section B.2 of this proposal to measure and assess the student learning outcomes and to ensure their attainment. The achieving of the student learning outcomes will lead to the attainment of the program’s objectives and therefore support EKU’s mission and corresponding CPE strategies. 4. Is an approval letter from Education Professional Standards Board (EPSB) required? No If yes, attach the approval letter from ETSB. B. Program Quality and Student Success 1. What are the intended student learning outcomes of the proposed program? The Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity program has the following Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs): By the time of graduation, students will be able to SLO 1: Understand programming and computing hardware and software systems SLO 2: Design, implement and secure a computing network or data system SLO 3: Set up systems and policies for cybersecurity incident response. SLO 4: Detect, identify and document the security breaches of a computing network or data system SLO 5: Contain the harm or damage caused by security breach to a computing network or data system, eradicate the intrusion, and recover or restore the system to its original state. SLO 6: Work collaboratively and effectively with team members, law enforcement, and related personnel for cybersecurity incident response or to accomplish a digital forensic investigation. SLO 7: Conduct digital forensic investigations that conform to accepted professional and ethical standards. SLO 8: Apply appropriate laws, regulations and procedures to handle digital evidence in a digital forensic investigation. SLO 9: Identify potential digital evidence, and necessary techniques, skills, and tools needed for preserving and collecting the evidence. SLO 10: Use current techniques, skills, and tools necessary for digital evidence analysis. SLO 11: Present digital evidence in a professional and legal environment. 4 Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 61 �2. Identify both the direct and indirect methods by which the intended student learning outcomes will be assessed. The Student Learning Outcomes are achieved by implementing the program curriculum through teaching, training and advising activities. (a) To assess the SLOs, the major courses required by the program curriculum are mapped to the SLOs. Each of the courses in the curriculum is included for the purpose of introducing (I), reinforcing (R), or emphasizing (E) students’ learning to attain the corresponding SLO and the attainment of each SLOs is assessed with reinforcing and/or emphasizing courses. (b) The ETS® Major Field Test will be used to measure students' mastery of their knowledge in the field of study. (c) Exit interview results will also be used to measure some of the SLOs. Also, alumni survey and employer survey will be conducted to assess the program’s educational objectives every two years. 3. How will the program support or be supported by other programs within the institution? This program will be supported by the departments in the College of Science, the College of Business and Technology, and the College of Justice and Safety. The students in the program will be required to take a number of the supporting courses offered by the departments in these colleges. 4. Will this program replace or enhance any existing program(s) or tracks, concentrations, or specializations within an existing program? Yes If yes, please explain. This program will replace the existing Computer Forensics and Security concentration in the BS degree program in Computer Science. 5. Will this be a distance learning program?

Note whether they will be part‐time or full‐time. C. Program Demand/Unnecessary Duplication 1. 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. 2. a. With the rise of attacks and data breaches against companies and government agencies, the demand for the professionals in digital forensics and cybersecurity field has experienced enormous growth and is facing an impending shortage. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that the growth rate of Information Security Analyst jobs will reach as high as 18% through 2024 (http://www.bls.gov/ooh/computer‐and‐ information‐technology/information‐security‐analysts.htm). b. The FEPAC recently developed and updated the accreditation standards and recommendations for digital forensics programs to encourage educational institutions to develop corresponding programs to address the change in the discipline and provide qualified graduates in the field to meet the fast‐growing workforce demand. The proposed program is designed completely based on the FEPAC accreditation standards and recommendations. c. As Kentucky as well as the nation is experiencing a great shortage of highly qualified professionals with knowledge and working skills in the field of digital forensics and cybersecurity, the proposed degree program will provide a unique education that will prepare the students to develop a career in the field to serve the Commonwealth and the nation. Specify any distinctive qualities of the program. This proposed program is designed to replace the current Computer Forensics and Security concentration in Computer Science BS program. One reason for replacing the concentration with a degree program is to increase the program’s visibility. A degree program is more visible than a program concentration, especially when there are six concentrations in the current Computer Science program. Good visibility is essential in recruiting students. Another reason to replace the concentration with a degree program is to attract a large number of students who are interested in cybersecurity but not digital forensics to the program. The existing concentration is focusing on digital forensics and only touches the basics of cybersecurity which does not meet the requirements of the knowledge and skills needed for working successfully in the cybersecurity career field. Because of this, many students with cybersecurity interest turn away after studying our curriculum. Being a concentration of the computer science program, it must include in its curriculum all computer science requirements in which some are not needed for digital forensics and cybersecurity. This leaves us little room to add the essential cybersecurity contents to the curriculum. Turning the concentration into a degree program allows us to develop it into a strong program in both digital forensics and cybersecurity and attract students with an interest in either career filed. The third reason for turning the concentration into a degree program is for student retention. Because of the strict requirements and difficulty in the subjects of computer science, the attrition rate between freshman and sophomore year of the concentration is about 50%. With a standalone degree program, we are more flexible to restructure the curriculum so that more students with a potential to succeed in the digital forensics and 6 Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 63 �cybersecurity can be retained and therefore increase the retention rate of the program. The fourth reason is for accreditation of the program. The current Computer Science program has to satisfy two sets of accreditation criteria: FEPAC and ABET (the General Concentration is ABET accredited). As the two criteria continue to change in their own direction, making sure the program satisfies both criteria is becoming difficult. By separating it to two degree programs, we can be more focused and are more flexible in the curriculum design to make sure that each of them will meet the accreditation standards. The proposed degree program will inherit the distinctive qualities from the current Computer Forensics and Security concentration and reinforce its strengths, but the curriculum is redesigned to have a balanced focus on both digital forensics and cybersecurity (e.g., the software engineering course is removed, two cybersecurity incident response courses are added and required, and two more digital forensics courses are added to the list). The distinctive qualities of the program include: (a). The curriculum of the program is designed according to the FEPAC (Forensic Science Education Programs Accreditation Commission) accreditation standards for digital forensic programs and will closely follow any updates of the standards to ensure the accreditation of the newly designed program. (b). The majority of the courses required by the program will be taught by full‐time faculty members with PhD and part‐time instructors with extensive practical experience in the professional working field. Licensed computer forensic software tools widely used by the professionals in the field will be used for teaching the digital forensic courses in the curriculum. (c). The program is the collaboration with EKU’s Homeland Security program, especially Intelligence Studies. The program will prepare students to participate professional activities in the intelligence community. (d). The program has developed and will continue to develop and maintain a good relationship with the Advanced Individual Training Branch of Kentucky Department of Criminal Justice Training (KYDOCJT) center. Instructors from KYDOCJT, located on the main EKU campus, with extensive working experience in law enforcement will continue to serve as the part‐time instructors to teach courses in the program. (e). The program has established and will continue to maintain the connections with professional organizations and industries. One of the full‐time instructors in the program took and passed the AccessData Certified Examiner (ACE) exam and has maintained the ACE status which requires taking and passing a new ACE exam every two years. The ACE certificate is widely accepted by the professional field of digital forensic and security. (f). The program has also developed and will continue to maintain the relationship with the Louisville Division of the FBI and Kentucky State Electronic Crime Lab. Students in the program are recommended and will continue to be recommended to the FBI internship program as well as the internship program in Kentucky State Police Electronic Crime Branch. The program has an established advisory board with members from the Kentucky Homeland Security Office, Kentucky State Police Electronic Crime Branch, Boone County Sheriff Office, Richmond Police Department, and the Department of Criminal Justice Training. 3.

List and discuss the nature and appropriateness of available clinical sites. b. Are there official agreements with clinical sites? i. Supply letters of commitment from each clinical site that specifies the number of students to be accommodated and identifies other academic programs that also use the facilities. Describe how the doctorate builds upon the reputation and resources of the existing master’s degree program in the field. Explain the new practice or licensure requirements in the profession and/or requirements by specialized accrediting agencies that necessitate a new doctoral program. 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.

Graduates of the Tourism & Resort Recreation concentration find career opportunities in local, state, federal and private agencies that promote tourism, travel agencies, convention services, resort supervision and management, cruise lines, amusement and theme parks, as well as other commercial recreation agencies. Graduates of the Natural Resources & Recreation Management concentration find a wide variety of career opportunities such as park ranger, interpretive naturalist, camp director, recreation forester, fish and wildlife positions, and youth and adult outdoor recreation programming positions. Graduates of the Recreation Management and Programming Recreation Management and Event Planning concentration find professional careers available in local, state, county and federal agencies, park management, golf course management, recreation supervision, aquatics, cultural arts programming, athletic programming, YMCA and YWCA, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, 4-H, and various other private and public agencies providing park, recreation and leisure services.

Enrollment in the Pre-Homeland Security Program does not guarantee admission to the S.S. in Homeland Security. Pre-Homeland Security Program students are accepted each semester. Students enrolled in the Pre-Homeland Security Program and desiring admission to the S.S. in Homeland Security major, must have completed a minimum of 45 total credits and have a 2.5 minimum EKU GPA, including completion of HLS 101 , 210,260, and 301 with a grade of C or better. S.S. in Homeland Security students are accepted each semester. Students seeking admission to the S.S. in Homeland Security must meet with their assigned advisor to ensure qualifications have been met. The advisor will submit the names of eligible students to the HLS Program Coordinator for submission to the Registrar. Students admitted to the S.S. in Homeland Security must maintain a 2.5 minimum EKU GPA. Students falling below the minimum GPA will be placed in academic probation for one semester. If after one semester in academic probation the student does not regain the 2.5 minimum EKU GPA, they will be withdrawn from the major. Students withdrawn from the major due to an EKU GPA lower than 2.5 are not eligible for readmission to the B.S. in Homeland Security.

To add GLY 210, 460, and GEO 501 as Geology Electives to the program; 2. To separate the supporting courses (non-GEO and GLY) from the geosciences courses in the two concentrations; 3. To remove GLY 102 as an introductory course option in the core; 4. To remove GLY 512 as Geology Elective from the program; 5. To remove MAT 217 as a supporting course for the Academic Concentration; 6. To add PHY 131 and 201 as possible PHY supporting courses for the Professional Concentration; 7. To add a comment indicating that a preparatory course in mathematics may be required before enrolling in MAT 122 for the Professional Concentration. A. 2. Proposed Effective Academic Term: (Example: Fall 2016) Fall 2018 A. 3. Effective date of suspended programs for currently enrolled students: (if applicable) Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 100 �B. The justification for this action: 1. GLY 210 and 460 are important courses for students seeking a hydrologic-focused undergraduate degree, especially if they plan to pursue hydrology or hydrogeology at the graduate level. GLY 210 also addresses critical SLOs necessary to successfully pass the ASBOG Fundamentals of Geology certification exam for professional geologists. GEO 501 is a selected topics geospatial techniques course, and 21 st Century geology utilizes geospatial techniques regularly. Therefore, these courses create a more robust degree program that allows students to gain valuable knowledge and skills in preparation for a career or graduate school. 2. Students applying to graduate school are asked to provide information about their GPA in their major. With the current structure of the degree program, Degree Works mixes their GPA from non-geosciences courses and geosciences courses, making it more complicated for graduate schools and graduate school applicants to assess their qualifications for admission and financial aid. 3. Since GLY 102 will now be geared toward elementary education majors, and only about 1/3 of the course will be geology content, it no longer makes sense for this course to count toward the geology degree program. Most BS Geology students who had taken GLY 102 as an introductory course started as Earth Science Teaching majors and switched to geology. With the suspension of this teaching program in 2015, we no longer have a pipeline from teaching degrees into the BS Geology degree program. 4. GLY 512 was dropped from the curriculum in 2016-2017, so this is an editorial change reflecting that previous action. 5. PHY 131 and 201 are more mathematically rigorous versions of PHY 101 and therefore students who can tackle the higher math rigor should be encouraged to take these rather than the mathematically simpler course. 6. MAT 217 was included as a supporting course in the Academic concentration to support student achievement in completing MAT 234; however, most of our students choosing the Academic concentration are so academically strong that they have AP Calculus credit, or completed calculus (and beyond) before attending EKU. As a result, MAT 217 has become a hurdle to graduation rather than a course that supports student success in the program. 7. This is an editorial change to make it consistent with the note that accompanied the supporting course requirement of MAT 234 or 234H. C. The projected cost (or savings) of this proposal is as follows: Personnel Impact: None, these courses are already on a teaching rotation; we are simply repackaging them in a way that makes more sense to students and graduate schools. Operating Expenses Impact: None, we are just reorganizing the courses within the program.

Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 103 �New Minor, Concentration, or Department Certificate Proposal Approval Form When proposing a new minor, concentration, or department certificate, the following factors should be considered: • Minors and certificates often add time to degree. • • • • Minors can increase the number of credit hours that students have at graduation. Minors and certificates can potentially increase student debt because of the factors above. Minors, concentrations, and department certificates can significantly add to faculty workloads. Minors, concentrations, and department certificates increase the need for oversight and administration. The following information should be provided in addition to the normal curriculum change forms. Before a new minor. concentration. or department certificate is submitted to CA, the Dean must approve the proposal based on the information on this form and any other information requested by the Dean. From the Proposing Program 1. How will the new minor, concentration, or department certificate attract new students to EKU? On what is this based? What is the marketing plan? Recent program changes in Biological Sciences (dropping the Environmental Studies and adding the Biomedical Sciences degree programs) have left no options for students with interests in conservation of biodiversity. Further, the current course plan in the Botany concentration is restricting and prevents many students completing the concentration. We are proposing a new concentration (Biodiversity and Conservation), while suspending the Botany option, that capitalizes on the strengths of our current faculty and biodiversity-oriented upper division courses. We anticipate the new option will: 1) serve as a brand that will help prospective students find a niche within the biological sciences, 2) be of interest to students that would have selected the Environmental Studies degree, and 3) continue to serve students with interests in botany but with a more flexible plan of courses. The Department of Biological Sciences will market the new concentration through EKU Spotlight Day activities, College-sponsored freshman undeclared majors meetings, WEKU radio ads, and the department's web site and Facebook page. 2. What is the justification for the proposed curriculum proposal? (i.e., industry demand, job market, accreditation requirement, etc.). Provide evidence. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the employment of conservation scientists is expected to increase 7% from 2014 to 2024, which is the same as the Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 104 �national average for all job opportunities. A bachelor's of science degree in biology with a concentration in 'Biodiversity and Conservation' should set our students apart and help them compete in competitive job market. The new concentration will provide students with knowledge of organisms and an introduction to conservation, basic technical skills {e.g. GIS) and environmental science. Given that natural-history education continues to be in a state of steep decline {Tewksbury et al. 2014), this new concentration is an opportunity to broadcast the strengths of our faculty and curriculum. The Department of Biological Sciences is well suited to prepare students for conservation-oriented jobs with state and federal agencies and non-profit groups because 11 of our current faculty are actively engaged in biodiversity and conservationoriented research, the department houses valuable natural history collections, and we offer many natural history courses that provide direct knowledge of organisms. Tewksbury, J.J., Anderson, J.G., Bakker, J.D., Billo, T.J., Dunwiddie, P. W., Groom, M.J., Hampton, S.E., Herman, S.G., Levey, D.J., Machnicki, N.J., and Del Rio, C.M. 2014. Natural History's Place in Science and Society. BioScience, 64(4), 300-310. 3. What are the qualifications of the faculty to teach the curriculum? Are there sufficient faculty resources to teach the curriculum? Explain. All courses in the new concentration are currently offered within existing programs. The new concentration will not alter the number or qualifications of faculty necessary to offer the courses in the new concentration. 4. What area the potential costs of the proposed curriculum addition, especially 3-5 years for implementation? Fully explain the answer, particularly if there are no perceived costs. There is no additional cost involved. All courses and resources are currently in place. From the Dean How will costs of the proposed addition be covered? {Comp lete A or 8, or both if applicable) A. New Resources. Explain No new resources are needed. The program is suspending one concentration {Botany) and replacing it with this one. All courses on the new concentration are currently being offered for other existing majors and minors. 8. Reallocation of resources. Explain Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 105 �The only reallocation needed is, if there is significant growth, the department would need to increase course capacity or offer more sections, while decreasing seats in courses with less demand. I have thoroughly reviewed the proposal and the above responses and I support the proposal moving forward.

In addition, the proposed curriculum gives students more flexibility in areas they would like to pursue. The revisions also ensure the undergraduate degree and the 3+2 degree are correlated in the catalog. C. The projected cost (or savings) of this proposal is as follows: Personnel Impact: None Operating Expenses Impact: None Equipment/Physical Facility Needs: Finger printing, question document equipment Library Resources: None Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 114 �Bachelor of Science (B.S.) FORENSIC SCIENCE CIP Code: 40.0501 The Forensic Science degree program at EKU is a comprehensive science-based undergraduate education that prepares students to become leaders in the forensic science discipline. Forensic analytical work requires patience and diligence, with attention to detail and high-quality standards that will stand up in court. A forensic scientist must be able to communicate effectively, both orally and in writing, have personal integrity and high ethical standards, and have no history of drug abuse or criminal activity. Because the program provides a strong knowledge base and skill set in both molecular biology and analytical chemistry, graduates can also pursue careers in a variety of laboratory settings in industry, academic research labs, environmental work, or pharmaceutical science. The program offers two options: 1) Forensic Chemistry and 2) Forensic Biology. The Forensic Chemistry option of the Forensic Science degree prepares analysts to use analytical chemistry to examine evidence in the crime laboratory. Forensic Chemistry graduates will typically work in trace evidence, toxicology, drug identification, or firearm sections of the crime laboratory. The Forensic Biology option of the Forensic Science degree prepares students to work in areas of a forensic laboratory requiring a knowledge of genetics, molecular biology, and analytical chemistry. The forensic biologist applies scientific knowledge and skills to solve complex real-life problems in DNA analysis in support of investigative work. Forensic Biology graduates will typically work in the DNA/serology sections of the forensic laboratory. Admission/Progression Criteria All forensic science majors utilize the regular admission policy of the University for students taking courses offered during the first semester of the program. In order to continue in the program, the student must maintain an overall (institutional) GPA of 2.75 on a 4.0 scale. The Forensic Science Program also limits the number of major core, concentration, and supporting courses which may be repeated. Students are allowed to repeat up to 9 credit hours of major, supporting and concentration courses. Students who fail to meet one of these criteria will be removed from the Forensic Science degree program and placed in the B.A. Chemistry, Chemistry Option, degree program.

The justification for this action: During the 2017 EKU Assurance of Learning Day, the EKU Homeland Security Program faculty conducted a review of the undergraduate curriculum for assuring student learning. In a continuous effort to streamline the curriculum and offerings, faculty agreed that few students have enrolled in the Certificate in Disaster Management and propose suspending it. Students with an interest in disaster management will be encouraged to enroll in the Minor in Disaster Management. C.

COLLEGE OF BUSINESS & TECHNOLOGY School of Business 1. Page Departmental Graduate Certificate in Foundations of Business Thought 3 Create a departmental graduate certificate in Foundations of Business Thought. In conjunction with the associated proposed program revision to the MBA, the School of Business is proposing to create a series of departmental graduate certificates that are earned when a student completes a set of courses required for a specific competency in the MBA. Each certificate stacks to advance completion of the MBA. While each certificate enables students to gain essential skills without completing the entire MBA, completion of a certificate may encourage students to continue with the MBA program. 2. Departmental Graduate Certificate in Technical Skills of Financial and People Management 5 Create a departmental graduate certificate in Technical Skills of Financial and People Management. In conjunction with the associated proposed program revision to the MBA, the School of Business is proposing to create a series of departmental graduate certificates that are earned when a student completes a set of courses required for a specific competency in the MBA.

The justification for this action: The MBA Design Team has gathered information from a number of sources, including industry consultants, a review of MBA programs in Kentucky, a review of top MBA programs in the United States using a list of 61 top research universities who are members of the Association of American Universities (AAU), surveys of current EKU MBA students and of EKU undergraduate students, consultation with EKU’s Student Government Association, and discussions with local and regional business executives. From these findings, a number of areas of demand for successful MBA programs emerged. In other words, programs that include these characteristics have proven to be attractive to potential students and boast high success statistics. The newly designed MBA Experience thus addresses each of these expectations such that features of the new MBA Experience include:  In response to the demand for no/fewer prerequisites, a Bootcamp will be required of all students entering the MBA Experience prior to the start of coursework. This will be a time to review/develop foundational knowledge needed to begin coursework as well as to build cohesiveness among the entering cohort. The concept of no prerequisites should be especially attractive to those (a) coming straight from a non-business Bachelor’s program, and (b) who have been working in industry for some time.  In response to the demand for compressed courses, the MBA Experience consists of the Bootcamp, 15 courses, and four seminars. The MBA Experience is 36 credit hours in total. The first three terms of the program, students will take two courses the first half of the term and two different courses the second half of the term, for a total of four courses per term, as well as one seminar. The last term of the program, students will take one course the entire term, one course the first half of the term, and one different course the second half of the term, for a total of three courses, as well as one seminar.  In response to the demand for a compressed program, the MBA Experience is designed to take four terms to complete. Future development of the program would include a 4+1 model for business school students and a 3+2 model for students of other disciplines across campus.  In response to the demand for stackable certificates, the MBA Experience has been designed in such a way that courses required for a competency to be gained are grouped together by term. This allows for the first three terms of the program to each offer a Certificate (nine credit hours) upon completion of the courses included in that term. The concept of the stackable certificates should be especially attractive to students who are unsure whether they want to pursue an MBA.  In response to the demand for an interdisciplinary curriculum and the development of knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) demanded of graduates, care has been taken in the design of individual courses, terms, and certificates; inclusion of approved non-business electives, the leadership capstone, and the impact capstone further builds upon the interdisciplinary curriculum.  In response to the demand for faculty involvement, MBA courses are designed to be eight weeks intensive and two credit hours. To earn the full FTE required of each School of Business faculty member, the faculty will earn the remaining FTE hour by leadership in and coordination of other time-intensive MBA initiatives (e.g. Bootcamp, Mentoring Program, Seminars). All FTEs associated with the MBA program will be appropriate and measurable. C.

Finance & Planning Committee Committee Chair Alan Long reported that the Finance and Planning Committee met this morning. The Committee received a financial update from Barry Poynter regarding the current finances in comparison to budget through December and an update through January of 2018. The minutes from the November 15, 2017 meeting were approved. 2. Executive & Academic Affairs Committee Committee Chair Craig Turner reported the committee met this morning, with presentations on student success from Dr. Palka, the Pell Plus Concept from Dr. Morris, and a legislative update. The minutes were approved from the November 15, 2017 meeting. Eight items were approved to move to the consent agenda in this Board meeting. B. Additional Reports to the Board 1. Mr. Craig Turner, Chair The Chair gave the following report: Eastern has done a lot of amazing things, particularly over the last four or five years with the state funding constraints. Probably the best way to start this is to, as the old saying goes, “talk about the elephant in the room.” The elephant in the room is our goal to manage a $25 million reduction in our budget, the largest reduction we have seen to date. We have openly watched what some of the others are doing, we saw Western Kentucky’s announcement the other day of their first phase in their budget reallocations and reductions. The question is, what do you do when it’s time to make tough decisions? I think the answer is pretty simple: you just do the right thing. That is the goal of this Board, and I assure you, that is of the utmost importance and magnitude that we do the right thing. This process and its decisions will be based upon supportive data, as well as input from all parties. Redefining Eastern will mean that we will be focusing upon our strengths while remaining committed to academic excellence, to provide students the greatest opportunity to succeed and be employed. Student life will remain a top priority in order to balance our University experience that we offer. Our fingerprint and our achievements continue to get state and national recognition. Yesterday I had the opportunity to spend the day with six student-athletes that just reminded me why we need to do the right thing. It touched me. Eastern makes a difference in these students’ lives and they make a difference in ours. I love our great stories that we publish, and I was just looking last night at some of the things that have occurred. I looked at the front page of the paper the other day. Omar Salinas Minutes of a Regularly Scheduled Meeting Board of Regents Page 2 of 10 Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 149 �Chacón, an EKU senior, was named Student of the Year by the National Collegiate Honors Council. I think we all hope that the value of an education and an individual’s contribution will make a difference for him in his goal to complete his dream. Men’s track and field won its first indoor title since 2008. Tequan Claitt has been voted the OVC Co-Male Indoor Athlete of the Year, the first EKU athlete ever to earn this honor. Then we had Dr. Peter Kraska, a faculty member who won a national award from the Academy of Criminal Justice and Science. His work has been featured in media outlets such as 60 Minutes, BBC, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, just to mention a few. We most recently won at mock trial. Regent Jackson is on that team, and if you would, give us a quick moment of what happened and what does the future hold. What’s next? [REGENT JACKSON SPEAKING] We are going to the opening round championship series, so it’s the opening round of nationals, March 23, in Memphis. We will compete and if we place in the top five, then we will move on to the national championship in Minneapolis. [CHAIR TURNER RESUMES SPEAKING] That’s great. Congratulations. I guess my point is, we are lucky to have all these type of people as part of the EKU family. As we move forward in this process, again, I will just reiterate, our goal and our mission will ensure that we do the right thing. With that, today you won’t see a lot of details regarding the actual budget recommendations but we will get an overview of the process and the timelines that we are working upon. That will conclude my report. Ms. Jackson, I will turn it over to you. 2. Ms. Laura Jackson, SGA President Ms. Laura Jackson, the current SGA President, delivered the following report: February 6th we had our Rally for Higher Education, the same day as Colonels at the Capitol. We were glad to see you guys there as well. There was a strong EKU presence at the Capitol that day. We, along with UK, the University of Louisville, Morehead State, Western, Murray State, Northern Kentucky, and Kentucky State participated in that event. I am proud to say that EKU had the highest attendance that day by far. We had four students give speeches on the north steps of the Capitol. One of those speakers was one of our student senators, Brianna Palmer. She spoke to issues that institutions across the state are facing, but also more specifically here at EKU, so we are very proud of her. After those speeches, we met with over 20 legislators. So it was pretty successful. Our student senate has passed some legislation recently. One of those was recognizing those who participated at Colonels at the Capitol, and I will echo what Dr. McFaddin said about the importance of those kinds of efforts. They also passed legislation regarding their concerns with Kentucky House Bill 247, which contains those changes to KEES funding that we talked about a little bit earlier. Tomorrow night the Student Senate will be appropriating funds to Registered Student Organizations. We have had 28 student organizations apply for that funding. The Student Activities Council has had a movie night and two cultural dinners, and they are continuing to Minutes of a Regularly Scheduled Meeting Board of Regents Page 3 of 10 Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 150 �strengthen the relationship with groups in Student Life, which I am very proud of, working with Campus Rec, to make sure we are giving students as many opportunities as we can. We are working with the Office of Equity and Inclusion with the Campus Climate Survey. They will be setting up at our event so we can encourage students to take that survey. An important note that SGA elections are coming up. I will be replaced next year as I am graduating. Students are interested in running for my position, running on a slate with that position and for Executive Vice President, the Vice President for Student Activities Council, or as a student senator. We will meet tonight. They will begin campaigning next week. They will be elected on March 27. So we will know who my replacement is. That is my report. 3. Dr. Matthew Winslow, Faculty Senate Chair Dr. Matthew Winslow, Chair of the Faculty Senate, delivered the following report: Good morning. The Executive Committee is hard at work on the faculty evaluation of President Benson. Closely adhering to recently revised policy, faculty-at-large were able to submit their responses to the survey from February 1 to February 16. We received 396 responses for a response rate of 54.6%, which we think is very good. We are in the process of summarizing the responses into an easily digestible report. We plan to get that report to the Board by the end of March. Since the last Board meeting, Faculty Senate has reviewed and approved Policy 4.3.15, Pass-Fail Option; Policy 4.1.15, Grade Appeals; Regulation 4.8.3, Assignment of Summer Teaching; and Regulation 4.1.12, Catalog. We also approved Policy 4.3.8, Posthumous Degrees, although I believe that policy is receiving further attention. We also voted to repeal Policy 4.2.10, College Level Examination Program and Policy; 4.7.10, Faculty Responsibility of English Composition. The Academic Quality Committee of the Faculty Senate, working closely with Gill Hunter, Executive Director of Retention and Graduation, and Gene Palka, Vice President for Student Success, produced a map and report about the student success resources available on campus. The map is designed to help faculty guide students to the resources most appropriate for their needs. The Academic Quality Committee is now considering the best way to disseminate that map and I think that is going to be a great addition to the faculty resources so we can get students the help they really need. 4. Ms. Stephanie King, Staff Council Chair Ms. Stephanie King, Chair of Staff Council, delivered the following report: Chair Turner, President Benson, and Board of Regents, thank you for allowing me to present today regarding our ongoing Staff Council initiatives. The Staff Council is once again at full member status. That is a total of 12 members. As of January 1, 2018, our new members are Derek Adams, representing maintenance, skilled trades, and facilities services; Karrie Adkins, College of Letters, Arts and Social Sciences, College of Science, and Honors Program; Jillian Minutes of a Regularly Scheduled Meeting Board of Regents Page 4 of 10 Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 151 �Faith, Student Success, Dean of Students, Student Rights and Responsibilities, Campus Life, Enrollment Management, Retention, and Graduation; Timothy Miesmer, Foundation, Equity and Inclusion, Diversity, Athletics, Development and Alumni Relations, Center for the Arts, and Arlington; Caelin Scott, College of Justice and Safety, Regional Campuses, Conferencing and Events, e-Campus, and the Planetarium; Sherry Sparks, Internal Audit, President’s Office, Accounting and Financial Services, Business Services, Budgeting and Financial Planning, and Human Resources. Our returning members are Tosha Sparks, Leah Banks, Jennifer Newman, who was voted as Staff Council Vice Chair for 2018, Ann Cotton, who will serve as our Secretary, Julie Spease, our Treasurer, as well as myself serving as Chair. On February 6, seven of the 12 Staff Council members were able to join other fellow Colonels and other community leaders for Colonels at the Capitol. We went as a group for the very first time. In a well-orchestrated day. We heard from President Benson, Vice President McFaddin, along with several other local leaders. They spoke on many issues imperative to the viability and success not only of EKU, but of our local schools, local government, and the community. Each entity represented are impacted by the budget cuts. Pension reform and tax reforms, which directly impact learning institutions. Those we serve and our families and the future for our children. We were also provided the opportunity to hear directly from many of our legislators who made themselves available to speak with our group and take questions and hear our concerns. One moment that stood out to us in the midst of the busy day – Regent Castro, who took time to introduce himself to the Staff Council members. He wanted to learn more about what we as staff do on a daily basis for the University. It was humbling that he would take the time to not only stop and introduce himself, but to be interested in what we do. He affirmed our role at EKU by stating the importance of staff bringing the pieces of the EKU fabric together. This served as a good reminder in solidifying the importance of our work and to remember that even though our University family has been feeling the weight of the budget cuts, we have leaders such as Regent Castro, fighting for us and our children, proving what we do matters. It may have seemed like a small gesture, but the importance of his time uplifted us in hearing the positive affirmation. When I jokingly asked for his phone number he handed over a business card with several ways to contact him. Thank you, Regent Castro. The day helped us gain an appreciation for our leaders and an education in the amount of the work that it takes to make sure our voices are heard. It continues to a combined effort to influence change and show a mighty presence at the Capitol that we hope to be a part of for many years to come. Staff Council held their first retreat on February 21. We spent several hours together reviewing our current by-laws, reviewing past accomplishments, discussing expectations, and breaking out into our current committees. We also spent some time getting to know a little more about each other. Let’s just say we are an interesting group. I learned a few things about some of our members that I really wish I did not know. I will just say this: do not ask Regent Makinen to sing. Minutes of a Regularly Scheduled Meeting Board of Regents Page 5 of 10 Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 152 �I am excited about the progress and camaraderie that we made during our time together. I believe that we have the best group of people working together as a team that we have ever had on Staff Council. There is no doubt we are all working hard towards a common goal to see EKU succeed. In the continuing effort to boost morale and cultivate a sense of community with our work family, we are planning at least two pool events at Paradise Cove again this year. A committee is working with Richmond Parks and Recreation to find dates to replicate last year’s event that was attended by more than 200 EKU individuals. Staff Council is also working on a movie night at a later date that may be held at the Center for the Arts. We have also been asked to partner with Hummel Planetarium to sponsor a family event. In November of last year, President Benson called to ask if I would serve on the Budget Advisory Committee and I respectfully agreed to do so. This has been the opportunity for EKU faculty and staff to come together to make the best possible decisions for the University as we move forward in some very challenging times. Information gathered from each Dean and VP area is being reviewed to reduce our recurring budget by $25 million. It is expected that we will reach our goal but not without losing some of our greatest assets. I can say without a doubt that in the almost 23 years of working at EKU, this has been the most challenging process that I have ever been involved in. Everyone is waiting to hear what these changes will be and how it will impact them personally. Moving forward, Staff Council members will continue to remain focused and positive. We will continue to strive in fulfilling our purpose and providing recommendations and fostering communication. The Council remains dedicated and looking for areas where we can work together and work with other units to provide input and guidance, and provide clear and timely communication to all of our constituents. Thank you. 5. Dr. Michael Benson, President Dr. Michael Benson, President, delivered the following remarks: Good morning. It is a pleasure to be with you all again, and I have just a few items to cover. Colonels at the Capitol has been mentioned a few times. I want to thank all of those involved in organizing it. I thought it was a great turnout and to be there with members of our Chamber and our community, and the Board members that could be there – thank you all again. Just a few days later I participated in Posters at the Capitol. That is now in its 17th year, organized by Murray State University, but they asked me to be the keynote speaker, representing the universities. Senator Wise and Chairman Carney were the legislative representatives, but Jonathan Gore is the EKU professor that headed up our EKU delegation. If you look at the photographs on social media, all of our students were right at the bottom of the stairs coming down from the Senate chamber. It was a great way to showcase the accomplishments, the research, the hard work of our students, and a great way to focus on all the wonderful things that our students are doing. All of the universities and colleges were represented. Minutes of a Regularly Scheduled Meeting Board of Regents Page 6 of 10 Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 153 �I highly commend Jerry and our communications team. They do a terrific job of compiling all the good news. I won’t go through this, but in here is a bit about the All “A” Classic. It was wonderful having it back in Richmond. I never knew it before, so this was a first-time experience for me. We tried to win hearts and minds, one t-shirt at a time, with a t-shirt toss, which was great fun. Thirty-eight thousand, two-hundred people attended the sessions. That was the highest attendance since 2008. We are delighted they will be back for two more years, and we have been approached to host other tournaments. It was a wonderful recruiting tool. We heard from a lot of people, some very positive feedback, and as you know they were all captive visitors to our campus. It was a wonderful way to showcase the University. I want to thank the budget committee for their hard work. Stephanie talked about how it has been the most difficult task that she has participated in during her tenure on campus. There has been many times when I have come back to my office in the Coates building and I have seen the light on in the boardroom after hours. David and Tanlee as chairs, Matt Winslow representing the Faculty Senate, Stephanie representing Staff Council – these folks have worked very, very hard. This has not been an easy thing. They will make their recommendations to the President’s Council here shortly, which will then be brought to the Board. I want to thank them for their conscientious efforts as Chair Turner makes these decisions, based on data, on facts, on what is best for the University moving forward. There is no hidden agenda here. There is no ulterior motive. We have to do what is right for this institution moving forward. It’s a hard thing. But we can do hard things. That is our family motto and that is our University motto. Amidst all the challenges, there is so much good news to celebrate, and I want to focus very briefly on the three P’s and just tell you a couple of things. People. Just a couple of days ago, I got a call from the gentleman who chairs our foundation professor committee, and I get to make the phone calls to those professors that are selected by their peers to become the newest members of that very select group. I have to make a lot of phone calls, but these are the best ones, because when I get to call them and tell them that they have been selected by their peers to be foundation professors, some people cry. They are so elated, they are so ecstatic, they are so honored. That really speaks to the quality of the people that we have at the core of our institution. EKU is about the teaching. That’s what we are about. Sure, we do some research, not nearly what a Research 1 institution does, but we are about teaching and our faculty are committed to that. Chair Turner referenced Omar. If you haven’t seen the Herald-Leader yesterday, it’s 1A above the fold. He is the National Honors Student of the Year. It’s not Kentucky, it’s not the eastern United States, it is the entire country. When I was with Regent Diaz and David, and we had the chance to meet with our congressional delegation in Washington and urge them to find a legislative solution for our DACA students, this is a priority for us. It’s a priority for these students. Omar is a wonderful representative of our institution. Just a few weeks ago we had what I would argue is one of my favorite events. Dean Zeigler was there, Provost Whitehouse, and a lot of others. It was Spin the Wheel, where we invite our students to come and literally spin a wheel and find out where they are going for their study abroad experience. For many of these students, it’s the first time out of Kentucky, out of the United States. Minutes of a Regularly Scheduled Meeting Board of Regents Page 7 of 10 Quarterly Board of Regents Meeting 04-06-2018 Page 154 �When they come back and tell us about their experience and how transformative it was, that’s what it is all about. Places. Last week I was in Florida with Dan McBride and the development folks, and a lot of our alumni who love this place, and to have them ask us what is going on and then to show videos of what’s happened to EKU in the last 36 months. I told them, look, we’ve been able to change the face of campus. We have improved it. We’ve hit this propitious moment of people, of events, and we have this window of opportunity, and it’s been great, we have changed campus but what happens in those facilities is what is important. It’s the teaching, it’s the moments outside of class. When we cut the ribbon on the Case Dining Hall, that was evidence of a facility that is at the epicenter of what happens outside the classroom as students, faculty and staff come together over a meal, where food is so important. That was a wonderful day. I want to thank everyone that participated in that. Programs. A few rankings to take note of. Speech pathology was just ranked as the one of the top 100 in the country. We were just recognized as one of the top seven veteran-friendly universities in the nation. Top twenty-five for our online nursing program. Top 100 for our graduate programs overall. Chair Turner mentioned men’s track and field. That is their first indoor championship since 2008. Parenthetically, that is Coach of Year number 79 for Coach Erdmann. As we say here, there are a few certainties in life: death, taxes, and Rick Erdmann. He is an institution and we should be so proud of him. Finally, men’s baseball. If you paid attention they beat the University of Virginia on Friday, ranked number 15 in the country. We are so proud of these student-athletes and how well they represent the University. That is my report. Thank you. C.
