3. Proposals for New Degree Programs
a. Fort Lewis Coll eqe - B. S. in Phvsi cs
Dr. Asplin reported that the faculty of the Physics-Engineering Oepartmen:
at Fort Lewis College propose to expand the college's offerings in the physical
sciences to include a B.S. degree program in physics. Students presently
interested in that field are limited to pursu ing it as a concentration within the
existing physical sciences major or as a component of such student-constructed
majors as math-physics or engineering-physics. Two new senior-level courses are
projected to support the proposed major. He noted that the stated objectives of
the Fort Lewis College proposal are:
1)
to enhance the capacity of the college
to prepare students to face the problems of modern society through its liberal art
curriculum; 2) to add diversity to that curricuium by increasing the breadth and
depth of degree options offered; and 3) te complete the development of a well
balanced program in the physical sciences.
Dr. Asplin noted that a summary of corrrnents received from eight of the
thirteen Colorado institutions, offering similar or related programs in Physics
was provided in the agenda materials.
Dr. Asplin reported that the average annual production of baccalaureate
degrees amons the
13
institutions offering physics programs at that level, ranged
from a low of me at Regis to a high of
18.3
at the Boulder campus of the Universi t
of Colorado. · With eight public and three private institutions producing
baccalaureate graduates in physics, the three-year gross production total of
169
(excluding the 34 gradu·ated in the U.S. Air Force Academy ) reflects an average
annual total of 7.2 physics graduates per institution per year for the state as a
whole. Addition of a twelfth such program at the enrollment levels projected by
Fort Lewis would still further reduce, rather than increase, the average annual
output per institution, which is already below the p-oductivity level of
10
degrees
per year being used as a trial guideline in the current CCHE review of
"low-producing programs.
Dr. Asplin pointed out that it is evident that the State
of Colorado does not "need" another such program to accommodate unmet statewide
student demand for access to baccalaureate programs.
Dr. Asplin pointed out that the capital outlay required to introduce and
maintain a quality program in physics is not insubstantial. For this reason
additional evidence is necessary to allay concerns expressed by several other
institutions with respect to the prospect of further di1uting the already
inadequate do11ar tota1 of state support currently provided for the under-enrolled
pr.ysics programs still being maintained in Colorado. He noted it would be
Page 4-2b

eg·e to substantiate in more deta
i1
its assertion that the
addition of a physics major would not involve additional costs. This would
need to be done in relation to actual Fall
1978
FTE enrollments and pro jections
fo"r the future, taking' into account the costs of providing the rarige of courses
required to maintain a quality program for the small number of majors expected_
...
Dr. Asplin stated that other staff concerns include the assumptions made
in the Fort Lewis College proposal as to the prospective demand for graduates of
thep--ogram in the marketplace for employment or admission to graduate school.
He noted that only
15%
of the firms surveyed by the college had given positive
responses as to their recruitment of B.S. graduates in physics, and most of those
were for work in specialized fields for which the general physics degree proposed
by
Fort Lewis would offer little specific background. The criteria identified for
selection of employees raise further questions as to the potential employability
of graduates of the program.
Dr. Asp1in pointed out that while the appropriateness of a suitable range
of offerings in the physical sciences as an essential component of the liberal
arts curriculum of the college is
acknowledged~the need for a separate degree
program in physics has not been established. Negative
ratin~swere also indicated
under the criteria of non-duplication of existing programs, resource requirements
and statewide resource allocations.
Dr. Rexer Berndt, President of Fort Lewis College, introduced members of
his staff wishing to address the proposal for a S.S. degree in physics and
pointed out that page
11
of the
1970
Fort Lewis College Master Plan as approved
by
the Commission, makes reference to the fact that a proposal for a physics major
would be brought to the Commission in
1978.
Or. Berndt expressed his opinion
that a physics major is a very important and integral part of a total science
program.
Dr. Robert Likes, Assistant Professor of Physics at Fort Lewis College,
stated that the Physics Department has the reponsibility for providing a service
to
the college as a whole in the area of physics as well as in the particular ·
areas of science, chemistry, geology, and biology. He noted the Physics Department
provides physical science courses that may be used for general distribution
requirements and services a good pre-engineering program. He pointed out that
physics, because of its basic position among all natural sciences, plays a key
role in all fields of science and engineering.
Or. Likes reviewed the qualifications and backgrounds of individual staff
members and noted that the science programs at Fort Lewis College are well
represented on the roster of the faculty holding advanced degrees, with 93%
of the staff possessing doctoral degrees. He pointed out that Fort Lewis College
possesses a full complement of undergraduate courses at the present time,
offered on a rotational basis . He noted that engineering students may receive
training for a two-to-three-year period at Fort Le
111is and, via a transfer
agreement, go directly into engineering programs at Colorado State University or
Colorado School of Mines.
Justification offered by the Fort Lewis College staff for the addition of
a B.S. degree in Physics included:
1)
the need to complement the programs offered
in the College's other science departments; 2) student demand, as evidenced by
the
current enrollemnt of seven students in alternative programs with physics
concentrations, and an average of five new students a year entering such majors,
3) enhanced ability of the department to obtain outs ide funds if a major is
offered, 4) potential attractiveness of a more demanding program to students of
higher ability and motivation, 5) provision of an opportunity at Fort Lewis
for would-be physics majors denied admission to capped institutions, 6)
prepar?tio ~of secondary school physics teachers, 7) opportunities for related employment or
graduate study anticipated for graduates trained in physics. and the other
physical sciences, and 8) augmentation of the number of such programs available
in Colorado, through the addition of one in the southwestern region of the state.
Dr. Likes reported that initiation of the program would not require
additional faculty, beyond those already projected to meet the anticipated
enrollment growth of the college. He noted that the library resources and
accessions budget was appraised as adequate for support of the program's first
four years. Physical facilities and capital equipment were deemed adequate with
the anticipated completion of the new classroom bui lding , assuming present annual
funding levels continue. Dr. Likes reported that all fu nding required for the
introduction and maintenance of the proposed new major was projected to be
available through regular institutional budget allocations, with no requests
for additional state support.
In response to Commissioner Manvel
1s questions, Dr. Likes stated that
Fort Lewis College has sufficient faculty to support the addition of five to ten
physics majors without overloading the faculty. Dr. Daniel Gibbons, Associate
Professor of Physics, pointed out that the faculty at Fort Lewis have the
flexibility to shift from one course to another and still maintain quality
programs.
In response to Commissioner Stonington's questions, Dr. Likes stated that
the College can obtain sophisticated equipment through donations from such agencies
as the National Science Foundation and various other governmental agencies, IBM,
and other industry sources. Dr. Gibbons added that Fort Lewis College has the
flexibility of interdepartmental cooperation in the use of equipment.
Commissioner McHugh noted a comment made by CSU in the agenda material,
which suggested that students from Fort Lewis College could spend a term,
during their senior year, taking advanced or specialized physics courses at
CSU, CSM, or UC, and questioned why students would go to other campuses. Dr.
Like ~responded that Fort Lewis College would not usually expect its physics majors
to go to another institution for a term. He noted, however, that there might be
instances where a student
1s involvement in undergraduate research activities
would require the use of specialized research equipment not available at Fort Lewis
In general, however, that would not be a viable option for their students .
Dr. Kerschner reported
tha~the staff
reco~mendationwas to deny approval
of a B.S. degree in Physics at Fort Lewis College. He pointed out that the staff
does not question the ability of the Fort Lewis faculty or the quality of the
program. He stated that the staff recommendations were based on the questions
laid out in the agenda materials. With respect to Dr. Berndt's comments earlier,
Dr. Kerschner pointed out that master planning goals are subject to change and
reassessment.
Dr. Kerschner reviewed the concerns expressed in the agenda materials and
pointed out that it is not clear, from the material presented, that students at
Fort Lewis College are suffering or disadvantaged due to the lack of a
B~S.degree
in Physics. He noted that meeting the needs of a few students does not justify
the expenditure of additional funds by the State of Colorado.

~artLewis Col tege 1s dedicated to the
\
developmen t of a stronger
Scienc~ D~partmenton its campus and expressed his
\
opinion that the physics major is an important cornerstone in achieving that
goal. In response to earlier comments, Dr. Berndt pointed out that future
reallocations of FTE's, if necessary, vJOuld be handled as an administrative .
problem and stated that Fort Lewis College has not experienced any serious
de-creases in enrollments. Dr. Kerschner responded that while internal FTE
realloca-tions are a matter for the College to handle, the goal of a strong science
·
department falls v1ithin the responsibility of the Commission to address such
questions as: Can the State of Colorado afford a stronger Science Department
at Fort Lewis College? Dr. Kerschner pointed out that the staffing ratio for
a science faculty, as opposed to other faculty, is significantly higher and would
result in an increased cost to the state as internal reallocations and shifts
begin.
Commissioner Strang stressed the importance of recogn1z1ng that Fort Lewi s
College is an extremely well -organized and self-disciplined institution,
par-ticularly with respect to curriculum development. Commissioner Manvel responded
that the state, as a whole, is very knowledgeable with respect to Fort Lewis
College's self-discipline in curriculum development. She pointed out, however,
that by looking at the number of physics graduates, statewide, it is difficult to
determine the need for another physics major at Fort Lewis. Commissioner Lang
y Marquez stated that physics and physical science courses are not of particularl y
large appeal to ethnic minority groups and noted that Fort Lewis College is stil l
struggling to meet the valid educati onal objectives of having a student body
which is more representative of the outside world. He expressed his opinion
that the B.S. degree in physics would not specifical ly help in achieving that
goa 1.
In response to concerns expressed near the end of the Commission meeting,
Or.
Kerschner stated that the staff would pursue, with President Berndt, the
issue of minority student ratios at Fort Lewis College and provide a review of
porposed bilingual/bicultural teacher education programs in English in combination
with any of the three native languages in the area (Spanish, Navajo, or Ute).
Corrmissioner McHugh expressed his view that no other public institution
in
the State of Colorado has done more to assist a certain class of people who
have special problems. He pointed out that there are numerous barriers in society,
one
afthem being geographical. Commissioner McHugh stressed the fact that
while Fort Lewis College is not primarily a commuter institution, many of its
students could not go to another western slope institution to obtain their
degrees.
~ction:
Commissioner Manvel moved that the Commission deny approval of the
Fort Lewis College proposal for a S.S. degree in physics; Corrrnissioner Stonington
seconded. The motion passed by a vote of 4-3, with Commissioners Manvel, Armagast,
Woodward, and Lang y Marquez voting for and Commissioners McHugh, Strang, and
Stonington voting against.
Commissioner Woodward noted that the CCHE Bylaws require a majority vote
of the Commission to approve new degree programs. Commissioner Stonington stated
that discussions heard before the vote was taken, with respect to isolation of the
Durango area, had persuaded her that students at Fort Lewis College should have the
opportunity to obtain this type of program.

The Engineers' Council for Professional Development (ECPD) at a closed meeting of the Board of Directors held in Chicago on October 3, 1978, took action on the programs submitted by your institution for consideration by ECPD during the 1977-78 academic year, as indicated in the final pa ragraph of this letter.
It is the policy of ECPD to accredit programs for a limited period, extension beyond that time requiring a re-evaluation at the request of the ins titution. The evaluation is based on conditions observed at the time of the campus visit and on a review of your response to the Comprehensive Evaluation Report, which was forwarded to you previously. A program is acc redi ted only when it is con-sidered to meet the ECPD criteria.
The attached stat eme nt of recommendations and suggestions should b e considered in light of the Comprehensiv e Evaluation Report. It is hoped that this statement, as we ll as the Compre-hensive Re por t, will b e helpful to you in under standing this
accredi tat ion action and in t he continuing development and strength-ening of th e programs at your institution.
A list of accredited programs is published annually by ECPD. Howeve r, information concerning the periods of accreditation is released only to the institution involved. ECPD requests that
you do not disclose public l y any information concerning periods for which programs are accredited. For y our guidance, please refer to
the attached policy statement for all public announcements, adver-tisements, catalogs, and other matters where mention is made of ECPD accreditation.

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN COLORADO Accreditation Recommendations - 1978 Manufacturing Engineering Technology Mechanical Engineering Technology
Associate and Bachelor's Degree Day Programs
A number of serious concerns bearing upon long term accreditability should invite the attention of the institution to the following recom-mended corrective actions:
1. Continue all possible efforts at all levels to resolve pending deci si ons and implementation o f:
A. Construction of Applied Science and Engineering Tech-nology facilities on the Belmont Campus.
B. Consolidation of Applied Science and Engineering Tech-nology activities on the Belmont Campus.
2. Assign top priority to the task of attracting and retaining faculty with appropriate industrial experience and creden-tials. Salary and rank are the key issues but not the only considerations. Specifically, the composition of the
faculty should comply with criterion 3 on page 7 of Volume 3 of the 1977 Annual Report, prior to the next accreditation visit. This criterion is quoted for information as follows:
"3. The facult y adequacy in numbers , co mpetence,
and the standards of instruction that it ma intains i n all s ubject areas that supply
instruction to engineering technology students.
The faculty determines the adequacy of any engi-neering technology program. It is axiomatic that
instructional goals will be achieved only to the level of faculty competence and vision.
The technology faculty members should hold basic technical degrees in engineering , science, or tech-nology, with a majority holding the master's degree in the same or a complementary field. Employment, financi al recognition, and promotion should reflect emphasis on the master's as a terminal degree, with relevant industri al experience in addition, and compe-tence as a teacher.
The overall competence of the facu lty may be judged by such factors as the leve l of academic training of its members; the diversity of their backgrounds; the extent to which they further their own education in relevant areas; their non-academic. engineering and engin eering technology experience; their experience in teaching; their interest in and enthusiasm for develop-ing more effective teachdevelop-ing methods; their level of
SBA Meeting-December 13-14, 1978
University of Southern Colorado 2-4(d)
scho lar ship; the degree of their participation in pro-fessional, technical, and scient ific societies; recog-nition by students of their technical acumen; and their personal interest in the students' curricular and
extra curricular activities.
Faculty members teaching the technical skills courses are not required to have advanced degrees but are
expected to be artisans or masters of their crafts. However, they should represent only a small fraction of the total technology faculty.
Baccalaureate engineering technology education with its emphasis on problem courses, participation laboratories, and t ec hnical skills, require a suf-ficient number o f faculty to provide adequate atten-tion to each student. The student-faculty ratio for technical courses will vary, depending on the nature of the programs and courses, but should not exceed the institutional ratio for science-related areas. Stu-dents-faculty ratios for non-technical studies should follow normal institutional patterns."
3. Restudy work loads at both institution and college levels. Innovative solutions may be required with respect
to curriculum, laboratories, equivalency of non-teaching duties and support activities, etc. Faculty burdens in non-teaching areas should be significantly reduced or equated to teaching as part of the assigned work load, e.g. recruit ing , placement, laboratory set-up, equipment maintenance, course deve lopment, committee work, grading, consulting, professional development, etc.
4. Expand both placement and recruiting acti vities at the institutiona l leve l, including efforts directed toward non-traditional students.
5. Implement positive and tangible incentives toward profes-sional devel o pment.
The following suggestions are offered in the hope that they may be of value in the cont inuing efforts to improve the curricula:
1. Consider broadening the manufacturing curricula by adding coursework in kinematics, machine design, and/or energy conversion.
2. Consider coo rd inating a portion of the non-technical
electives to better complement the manufacturing curricula. 3. Review the courses Technical Problems I and II used in the
mechanical curricula to determine if th~ir content might
be incorpora t ed into other courses, thu s increasing the technical electives.

PUBLICITY POLICY STATEMENT ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE
The following policy applies to all information rel ea ses and statements concerning ECPD accreditation:
1. All references to ECPD accredi tation o f engineering technology programs should (i) avoid any confusion between engineering and engineering technology, (ii) refer only to thos e programs which are currently ECPD accredited, (iii) not imply accredi tation or endorsement of any non-accredited program or of an institution as
~a whole. ECPD accredits individual program~ -- not entire schools.
(iv) Direct quotation from the Comprehensive Report and official statements from the President of ECPD in whole and in part is not authorized.
2. An institution may cite the ECPD obj ectives in referring to ECPD accredited programs. Such a reference should be completely factual and professional in tone. The reference itself should include the following phrase:
"An ECPD accredited engineering technology program."
3. Early recognition of programs is granted on a yea r to year basis and is subject to annual review of reported progress toward accredi-tation. When publications of the institution include any reference to "Reasonable Assurance of Accreditation" or "Candidate for Accredi-tation" status, the notation that this is "subject to annual review" must be stated. In the interests of clarity and professional ethics
the institution must follow the principles listed in paragraphs 1 and 2 above and carefully avoid any inference that any early recog-nition category is accreditation. The ini tial (original) date of granting of early recognition status must be listed along with the required statement that this status is subject to annual review. The reference itself should include the following phrase:
"An engineering technology program granted early recognition status of (Candidate for Accreditation") ("Reasonable Assurance 6f Accredi-tation") by the Engineering Technology Committee of ECPD. This status was originally granted in (month and year) and is subject to annual review."

MATTERS FOR ACTION:
How Efficient Are Colleges?
(by L. J. Fedewa of Control Data Corporation in The Chronicle of Higher Education)
RECOMMENDED ACTION: None
REPORT:
Information only, selected paragraphs from The Chronicle of Higher Education.
"Management's job in an on-going enterprise is basically to acquire revenue, and to spend it wisely, with the result that the organization's mission has been advanced .
By these criteria, I would suggest that academic management is second to none in making the best use of existing resources. The average academic middle manager--dean, business officer, physical-plant manager--can get more per dollar spent than the corporate manager by half, whether the resource in question be services, facilities, equipment, or supplies. Since business expenses are deductible from gross revenues for income-tax purposes, corporate managers face the decision whether to pay employees and vendors or to pay more taxes. That is not a very hard decision .
The only time frugality becomes a real virtue is when revenues are down. Then management flipflops and sharpens its blue pencils. This change can result in spectacular dislocations--thousands of layoffs, hundreds of terminations, tens of thousands of pay cuts. Academic managers also live under much tighter short-run constraints
than their corporate counterparts. An operating deficit in one year is viewed with alarm -- and in some cases it is illegal. That requires very good cost controls. Corporate managers, on the other hand, usually have more leeway. Extraordinary losses--in the millions and tens of millions of dollars--can be tolerated in one division to develop a new product, start a new business, or allow for a turn-around, as long as other divisions are profitable. After all, at
least half the loss is tax deductible, anyway. If the total enterprise is in the red, the banks are usually cooperative in supplying operat-ing or even development capital. And they are at least as patient as most governing boards. Even when banks run out of the patien ce , the government may step in, as with Penn Central.
In summary, academic managers have a far better track r e cord in maximizing resources than do corporate managers.''

MATTER FOR ACTION:
Report to J.B.C. on Rental Appropriations RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Receive the report and place it on file with the Secretary of the Board.
EXPLANATION:
A complete copy of the 18-page report has been presented to the Board's Secretary. Reproduced below is the text of the report that shows the need for the report and the text of the two page summary.
"We are required by a 1978-79 appropriation bill footnote to prepare a plan for the relocation of CSU activities to exist-ing State-owned facilities to eliminate rental expenditures. The specific footnote reads as follows:
Department of Higher Education, Colorado State University, and University of Colorado, Boulder
Campus, Rentals - Future .appropriations are contingent upon submission by November 1, 19?8, of a plan for relocation within existing State-owned facilities to eliminate these r ental costs.
For many years Colorado State University has been renting and/or leasing building space, land, and land improvements for the
conduct of its instructional, administrative and service activities. These rentals and leases were undertaken to avoid the higher cost which would have been incurred through a direct appropriation
for funding these needed facilities and land.
Unlike the situation existing at times in other state institutions (e.g., Metropolitan State College before moving to Auraria) in which construction funding was provided by appropriation to provide space at a lower cost than the cost of rented space, the annual appropriation to Colorado State University for rentals -- which are secured at extremely favorable rates -- provides space at a lower cost.
SBA Meeting-December 13-14, 1978
Colorado State University l-2(a)
For many years Colorado State University has been makin g annual payments for building space, land, and land improvements for the conduct of its instructional, administrative and service activities. These payments were undertaken to avoid the higher cost which would have been incurred through a direct appropriation for funding the construction of these needed facilities and the purchase of l and. Unlike the situation existing at times in other state institutions
(e.g., Metropolitan State College before moving to Auraria) in which construction funding was provided by appropriation to provide space at a lower cost than the cost of rented space, the annual appropriation to Colorado State University for these payments, which are secured at extremely favorable rates, provides space at a lower cost. The current Rental appropriation arrangement is extremely cost effective for the State of Colorado.
There is no suitable space available in existing state-owne d facilities in which the curren t instructional, administrative and service activities now carried out in the rented faciliti es can be accommodated. The modest amounts now being paid are for
excellent and easily accessible land and building space on the CSU campuses. The annual rates are one-third to one-half of what would be paid in the general rental market. In addition, there is absolute assurance from year to year of having the space available. The
annual rates paid for the space in Aylesworth Hall, the Student Center, the Student Health Center and the Auditorium-Gymnasium are based
on construction costs of 15-20 years ago. Thus, the annual cost to CSU is substantially lower than what similar space would cost in the rental market today.
The payment of $100,000 per year presently being made towards debt service for the use of Aylesworth Hall ($69,000), the Student Center ($25,000), and the Student Health Building ($6,000) would provide for annual principal and interest payments f or a facility, based on current construction costs, with only 12,366 assignable square feet to house the personnel and programs using the space in the above three existing facilities. This compares with the 71,409 assignable square feet presently available for the same annual cost.
Another alternative would be a one-time General Fund appropriation of $6,120,780 to provide a facility with equivalent space for these programs and personnel. Or this new facility could be financed for $577,740 per year.
Neither of these alternatives would reduce the need to continue the rentals for the Auditorium-Gymnasium, the Agriculture Campus Farms, or the payment fo r the irrigation system lease.

MATTER FOR ACTION:
Semi-Annual Report - Enrollment Statistics RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Move that the 1978 Fall Semester enrollment s tatistics be received and placed on file with the Se cre tary of the Board.
EXPLANATION :
Copies of the reference report will be available for each
member of the Board during the meeting. The report will fulfill technical reporting requirements for each department.
Interpretation of the report will be given by Vice President Neidt. This is especially timely since there are enrollment problems for many institutions in Colorado. Further, the
management problems for CSU are substantial, given the pressure we are under to admit students who want to come here, yet for whom no space is available under the annual legislative enrollment ceilings.
