MATTERS FOR ACTION:

The Board of Governors of the Colorado State University System(Board): Action pertaining to Colorado State University-Pueblo (CSU-Pueblo) that authorizes an

amendment to CSU-Pueblo's statutory role and mission to allow the offering of selected doctoral degree programs.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

THE BOARD ACKNOWLEDGES that CSU-Pueblo's role and mission, as set forth in C.R.S. § 23-31.5-101, declares that''the university shall offer a broad array of baccalaureate programs with a strong professional focus and a firm grounding in the liberal arts and sciences. The university shall also offer selected master's-level graduate programs." Consistent with that role and mission, CSU-Pueblo has offered a Master's of Science in Nursing with a Nurse Practitioner emphasis since 2005.

THE BOARD FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES that in 2004, the American

Association of Colleges and Nursing ("AACN") issued a position statement advocating that the Doctorate of Nursing Practice ( .. DNP") becomes the entry level degree for nurse practitioner practice. The AACN member institutions have endorsed that position statement and have agreed to change the current level of preparation necessary for advanced nursing practice from the master's degree to the doctoral level by 2015. In order to offer a DNP degree, CSU-Pueblo's statutory role and mission must be amended to permit the offering of selected doctoral degree programs.

MOVED, that the Board hereby authorizes CSU-Pueblo and the Chancellor of the Colorado State University System ( .. Chancellor'') to take all necessary action to obtain an amendment to CSU-Pueblo's statutory role and mission to pennit CSU-Pueblo to 。fferselected doctoral degree programs.

CSU-Pueblo's role and mission is set forth in C.R.S. § 23-31.5-101. Under that statute, "the university shall offer a broad array of baccalaureate programs with a strong

professional focus and a firm grounding in the liberal arts and sciences. The university shall also offer selected master's-level graduate programs." Complying with that role and mission since 2005, CSU-Pueblo has offered a Master's of Science in Nursing with a Nurse Practitioner emphasis.

In 2004, the American Association of Colleges and Nursing ("AACN'') issued a position statement advocating for the Doctorate of Nursing Practice ("DNP"). The AACN member institutions have endorsed that position statement and have agreed to change the current level of preparation necessary for advanced nursing practice from the master's degree to the doctoral level by 2015. At present, 120 universities offer DNP programs, and an additional 161 DNP programs are being implemented. In Colorado, the University of Colorado, the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, Regis University, Mesa State College and the University of Northern Colorado offer or have initiated DNP programs within the past five years.

Before CSU-Pueblo may offer a DNP degree, its statutory role and mission must be amended to permit the offering of selected doctoral degree programs. This Resolution would not authorize CSU-Pueblo to offer a DNP degree, as any such approval must occur through a subsequent resolution by the Board. In addition, this Resolution is not an endorsement by the Board or CSU-Pueblo of the AACN's advocacy for the DNP program.

In addition to amending its statutory role and mission, before a DNP program could be 。ffered,CSU-Pueblo would need to develop a DNP program and obtain approval from CSU-Pueblo's curriculum committees. Also, approval from the Colorado Commission on Higher Education would be required. Further, the Board would then have the opportunity to review the DNP program and decide whether it should be offered. If approved, the Board would authorize CSU-Pueblo and the Chancellor to talce all necessary action to obtain an amendment to CSU-Pueblo's statutory role and mission to permit CSU-Pueblo to offer selected doctoral degree programs, which may include consultation with the Colorado Commission on Higher Education.

Stretch Goal: NIA Strategic Initiative: N/A MATTERS FOR ACTION:

The Board of Governors of the Colorado State University System (Board): Authorizing the institutions of the Colorado State University System to promulgate rules and

regulations relating to procedures for collecting any loans or other outstanding obligations owed to the institution.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

MOVED, that the Board does hereby authorize the Colorado State University System (System), Colorado State University (CSU), Colorado State University-Pueblo (CSU-Pueblo), and Colorado State University-Global Campus (CSU-Global) to each

promulgate rules and regulations relating to procedures for collecting any loans or other outstanding obligations owed to the respective institution.

EXPLANATION:

Presented by Rich Schweigert, CFO, Colorado State University System, Lynn Johnson, Associate Vice President for Finance, CSU, and Mike Nosier, General Counsel.

As part of the Higher Education Flexibility Bill that passed in 2010, institutions of higher education were granted authority under C.R.S. § 23日5-113,to develop rules and regulations for collecting any loans or other outstanding debts owed to the institution. Previously, the institutions were statutorily required to refer past due debts to the State Controller for collection, unless the Controller granted the institution a written waiver of that obligation. By authorizing the development of rules and regulations for collecting outstanding debts, the institutions will no longer be subject to the Controller's discretion

and will be able to manage the collection of those outstanding debts.

MATTERS FOR ACTION:

Opening of new bank account for the Western Colorado Research Center RECOMMENDED ACTION:

MoVED, thatthe Boardapprovethe openingofnewbankaccountatthe American National Bank in Grand Junction, Colorado to allow for the operating expenses of the Western Colorado Research Center.

EXPLANATION:

Presented by Rich Schweigert, CFO, Colorado State University System, Lynn Johnson, Associate Vice President for Finance, CSU, and Mike Nosier, General Counsel.

The Western Colorado Research Center is comprised of three research centers: Frutia, Orchard Mesa, and Rogers Mesa. These sites primarily focus on agronomic research in

new and alternative crops and cropping systems, viticulture and enology research and

technical support to the wine industry, and research and outreach on tree fruits and other specialty crops.

Imprest bank accounts are needed for the operation of these research centers to pay

those expenses for which local vendors will not accept credit cards or wait for a University check. Many of the expenses are incurred in times where equipment and parts are needed during the growing season to get the equipment back on line

immediately. In addition the imprest account is used to pay temporary seasonal help

particularly at harvest. Due to the nature of the temporary labor, normal practice with

growers is to pay at the end of the week. If we don't pay workers on that basis we lose

perishable crops.

Historically, each of the three research centers has had its own separate bank account. However, due to a decreasing amount of activity at the centers, it was decided that one

bank account could be used efficiently as a shared bank for all three sites. CSU is in the

process of closing the three existing bank l:l_ccounts but need to open this new bank

account before that can be finalized.

CSU-Global Campus'Vision Statement reads, "CSU-Global Campus is the premier provider of innovative, higher learning opportunities for nontraditional students in Colorado and beyond." The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) defines a nontraditional learner as one that does not enter postsecondary education in the same calendar year that he or she finished high school; attends school part-time for at least part of the academic year; works full-time (more than 35 hours per week) while enrolled; is considered financially independent for determining

eligibility for financial aid; has dependents other than a spouse; or is a single parent. As part of its diversity initiative in alignment with the CSUS Values which include, "An

唧reciationfor diversity and inclusiveness," CSU-Global Campus requests the Board of

Governors to approve its proposed expanded definition of nontradjtional swdents:
