MATTERS FOR ACTION:

Interim Committee on Higher Education

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

EXPLANATION:

The Interim Cormnittee on Higher Education met August 18, 1978, and re-viewed the role and mission statements from the CCHE Master Plan. Succinctly are listed the major issues as they relate to institutions under the State Board of Agriculture, and the general topic of governance.

Remarks Dr. Jim Palmer, Metro State College on governance: Doesn't believe Higher Education of out of control;

If your going to change governance then the new system must be better; Change of governance will divide and conquer; no statewide basis, except for the larger institutions;

Who's going to benefit by SB 62;

If the General Assembly wishes a super board, then bypass the inter-mediary step (single boards) and create a super board.

Representative Jim McElderry on Role and Mission of USC:

Significance of Pueblo in the whole southern tier of Colorado's smaller cities will influence the future role of

use

Very designation as University recognizes its future and its name, Southern Colorado, speaks to the dimension of its involvement;

USC developing steadily as the region's major educational institution; Service partner of ASC/3outhern community colleges may enable USC to become a research and resource center for the area.

Not just a public institution - education and research with world implication;

Collective

bargafning urged

Despite obvious oonfidence in the State Board of Agriculture, USC fac-ulty leaders continue to profess the need for a strong system of collecti ve bargaining to determine salaries for instructors,

"The members of the Ag board know their business," stated Eugene Bard, faculty representative to the Board of Agriculture task force,

However, " he added, "you seldom receive _the increases you request from · the State Legislature,"

At a meeting in Pueblo last week the Board of Agriculture voted to request .an 1 L4 percent wage increase for

~rsc:: faculty ,

This increase is an attempt by the Board of Agriculture to show that they realize USC faculty are underpaid, as well as an expression of their com-mitment to make this a better school said

u_sc

Pres I Richard Pesquei;a '

According to one survey, USC faculty wage averages rate 11th lowest of 12 Colorach institutions,

Dr, Richard Lipp, former president of the Faculty Association, expressed reservations concerning the proposed pay hike,

"The request sounds encouraging." he said, "but requests are just re-quests,

. "The political reality is that the legislature almost always approves less than the requested amount

"Of rourse the degree of lobbying and the political clout of the govern-ing board will determine the increase we will get," Lipp added.

However, Bard emphasized that he has ronfidence in the abilities and the intentions of the Board of Ag-riculture.

"We have a better chance of re-ceiving the request from the Board of Agriculture than we ever had under the Board of Trustees," he stated.

USC had been under the governance of the board of Trustees until last May 4, when control was transfered to the Board of Agriculture.

"The Board of Trustees was not very effective when it came to getting appropriations from the legislators " Bard continued . · '

"Also, the funds they received for faculty wage hikes were not always

.

...

p • d

funneled into salaries," he addC'd . Leon Bright, member of the USC Faculty Asoociation executive com-mittee, echoed Bard's sentiments.

"I'm s ure the Board of Agriculture will get more accomplished with the legislature than the Trustees could .

"But, we still are going to go ahead with plans to eventually bring col-lective bargaining to

use."

he said.

Current faculty Association Pres. Larry Daxton, stressed that while no date has been set, a strong effort to discuss bargaining with the Board of Agriculture will be made.

Dr • Stephen Bronn, associate pre>-f essor opre>-f mathematics, emphasized that the only effective method for

set~ing forth a mutually acceptable

policy for wage distribution is col-lective bargaining.

Bronn, who was very active· in the collective bargaining negotia tions with the Board of Trustees, explained that governance under a ·new board means an entire new start in the pre>-cedure.

"We don't know the Ag board's stand on the issue, But, we do know that there is rome support from faculty at the other two institutions governed by the Ag board," he saiil.

The Boa.rd of Agriculture also governs Colorado State University in Fort Collins, and Ft. Lewis College in Durango.

Pointing out possible hazard s to the collective bargaining efforts, Bri.ghf stated, " If we should get the 11.4 percent wage hike requested I' m afraid that faculty members will lose interest in collective bargaining. "

'

However, Lipp stiessccf that the real issue is establishing a new level ~ of credibility for use. l

"The legislature funds those in-stitutions in which it has confidence. The reputation of this institution t

damages its ability to compete for

l

funds, which in turn damages faculty salaries.

"What is needed now is a concerted , effort on the part of the entire uni-versity community to make use an in-stitution which we can all be proud of," 1,ipp oontinued.

I

"The potential is here."

According to President Chamberlain, the Board referred

a question regarding foreign student health insurance to me

at its last meeting, August 16, 1978. The question concerned

whether a requirement for obtaining health insurance could

be imposed on foreign students, when an equivalent

require-ment was not imposed on domestic students.

My research into the matter indicates that the University

may impose such a requirement on all students who are not

United States citizens. Such a requirement is not regarded as

discri mination on the basis of national origin by the courts.

See Espinosa v. Farah, 6 FEP 931 (November 19, 1973). This

is true so long as no distinction is made between citizens of

different foreign countries.

If you have any further questions, please let me know.

Dear Senator Hatcher:

Please accept my sincere thanks for your laudatory remarks about Colorado State University before the Legislative Interim Committee on Higher Education last Friday. It is my understanding that you were complimentary regarding the research efforts of our faculty,

to our fiscal accountability, and to the overall quality of Colorado State University -- just to mention a few of the points you made. Hopefully your remarks will prove to be of benefit not only to Colorado State University but to higher education in general in the eyes of your fellow Colorado legislators.

You obviously are aware of the problems facing higher education, at least from a public policy position, whereby both the federal and state governments are not providing the incentives which would foster the discovery of knowledge and motivate faculty to work even harder to provide quality education.

It is certainly inspiring to have someone in your position speak out in favor of higher education. I sincerely hope that your efforts bear fruit. Sincerely yours, c~;JB ~ - a,

(30)

1-1 SBA Meeting September 19-20, 1978 SBA System

MATTERS FOR ACTION:

Update on Tasks A through E implementing Senate Bill 81 RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Information and discussion EXPLANATION:

On May 25, 1978 the SBA Liaison Committee on Governance endorsed the plan to be followed in implementing SB 81. That report set forth five tasks to be accomplished. The SBA is herein provided with a summary status report.

Task!_: Since July 1 and more frequently since August 1, the board auditor and individual audit staff members have routinely been assisting in the validation of USC assets (including equip-ment inventory) on the USC campus. At the suggestion of the SBA Liaison Committee, the presence of SBA auditors is increasing as the financial closing process continues and 1977-78 financial records are finalized.

Task

!=

In accord with timetables provided to the SBA Liaison Committee, CSU administrators have begun a process of review and consultation with counterpart personnel at USC. During the week of September 5, the CSU Assistant Vice President for Finance will assist USC at Pueblo in the preparation of 1977-78 financial state-ments. The emphasis will be on adherence to generally accepted accounting principles and state fiscal policies and rules. It should be understood that the review will not cons titute a com-prehensive audit of USC's financial activity and cannot be ex-pected to uncover any deficiencies which may exist in the under-lying records.

Task

f:

Task Group C continues to develop "agreements of separation" with the objective of introducing legislation in 1979 for spinning off a vocational college in Pueblo (Orman campus) on July 1, 1979. It is emphasized that, to protect both institutions, some elements of the separation agreement (including program orientation and joint use of facilities, if necessary) will need to be written into law.

(31)

1-l(a) SBA Meeting September 19-20, 1978 SBA System

The SBA is informed that the most critical element in the -separation is the need for the ASET (Applied Sciences and

Engineering Technology) building for which physical planning money was appropriated last session. The joint use of space (between the College for Community Services and the School of ASET) is most complicated. Without the ASET facility, physical separation of the two institutions cannot be accomplished with-out serious detriment to USC . Because of the complexity of the issue, the recommendation on iterim use of space on the Orman campus will have to come from the SBA System office .

Task Group C is making timely progress on all other items of separation including the issue of student fees to cover bonded indebtedness on the Belmont campus.

In order to integrate the separation of resources into the 1979-80 budget request, OSPB and CCHE have granted USC a one-month extension for submittal of the request.

Task

Q:

The development of a USC mission statement is proceed-ing on the schedule endorsed by the SBA Liaison Committee . The working draft has been prepared. During early September the statement is being presented to groups of faculty, students,

and Pueblo citizens . It will be reviewed by the SBA System office, and the Liaison Committee and presented to the SBA for approval in October or November.

Presentation of a report on the University of Southern Colorado's Nursing Programs.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

No action required - information item only EXPLANATION:

USC has two Nursing programs, one of which (the two-year Associate Degree program) has National League for Nursing accreditation and the other of which (the "upper two" Bachelor of Science in Nursing program) has not yet

sought accreditation but wishes to do so at the earliest possible date . This issue, as well as the general status of Nursing at USC, are discussed in the attached report.

(45)

REPORT ON USC's NURSING PROGRAMS

2-3(a)

USC gives two nursing degrees, the Associate two-year degree commonly called ADN, and the Bachelor of Science in Nursing, BSN. The Associate Degree Nursing Program was reviewed for accreditation by the National League for Nursing last year, and was accorded

accreditation. The Bachelor of Science degree program in Nursing is not accredited by the National League for Nursing at this time.

Dean Robert T. Wagner of the School of Science af'.d Mathematics and Ms. Barbara Sabo, Acting Director of the Department of Registered Nursing, are very eager to achieve such accreditation, as is the nursing faculty. Their understanding of what would be needed before National League for Nursing accreditation could be sought for the "upper two" BSN program is the following:

1. An overall increase in staff is needed.

2. A new director, very preferably with a doctoral degree, must be sought as part of the overall staff increase. The

doctoral degree may be in any field, but the person must have nursing training, and a doctoral degree in Nursing is highly desirable. The salary levels of persons with doctorates in Nursing now are running in excess of $25,000 for nine months, and this raises concern with reference to the University's salary plan. One possibility would be to appoint the person as Assistant Dean of the School of Science and Mathematics

in order to place her/him on the administrative rather than the faculty salary plan .

3. The presence of another doctorate in the program is also highly desirable, although an MSN with a strong clinical background and some research experience would be an appropriate second addition to the present staff. Salary level for this person would be in the neighborhood of $18,000.

4. The program should request a consulting visit from the National League for Nursing this year, with a view to making application after the new hires have been made in the Fall of 1979. The consultant would review the curriculum, examine the credentials of the current staff, and make recommendations for changes as necessary. On this timetable, accreditation might be granted in the Academic Year 1979-80, but it is more likely that it would be in the Academic Year 1980-81.

use

2-3(b)

In addition to these steps toward gaining accreditation for the BSN Program, Dean Wagner has appointed Ms. Sabo to chair a committee, internal to the department, to examine thoroughly the curriculum of the ADN and BSN programs with a view to improvement of .both. A significant question to be examined in this review is continued accessibility to the "upper two" program on the part of holders of the ADN degree from our own institution and from the community colleges, and holders of diploma nurse background from

hospital-based training programs. We have already students with both these preparations in the "upper two" program, and it is well recognized that

maintaining accessibility for them is an important aspect of future planning. One result of this review may be greater interaction between the ADN and BSN staffs than is the case at present. The BSN staff is

administratively housed at this time in the Department of Life Sciences rather than in the Department of Registe red Nursing ; that condition will continue through this year, but the Department of Registered Nursing may be reconsolidated in 1979-80 or thereafter.

As to the question of present staffing in the Nursing Program, the issue is principally not that our instructors lack the Master's degree, but that in some cases their Masters' are in fields other than Nursing. In one case, the instructor has the ADN (two-year degree) and a Bachelor's and Master's in other fields; that instructor has provided written statement that she intends to enter BSN work this Fall and to continue to the completion of that degree. She might then choose subsequently to go on for the Master of Science in Nursing, once she has achieved the Bachelor's degree. In any case, we definitely plan to seek MSN's for any new hires, as well as the doctoral director described above.

We plan to continue an Outreach activity by the Nursing Program, and hope to be able to supplement that with the use of television or other educational media in the rural hospitals to the south and east of us.

In summary, planning to achi eve accreditation of the BSN Program is well underway, and Ms. Sabo is giving strong leadership to that and all other aspects of the Program.
