Subject:

~Mission

Statements.

The Chai r

of the Legislative Interim Committee on Higher Education requested

that he be provided with abbreviated role and mission statements which would be

suitable for i ncorporation into the Colorado Statutes . The staff prepared such

statements which were presented to the Committee at its Friday, October

20,

1978 meeting. At that time a recommendation was mad e not to include such

state-ments in the statut es. A preferable alternative offered was the regular

report-ing by the CCHE to the Legislature on changes in role and mission. The

Com-mission's appreciation for the ti me and effort that the Legislative Interim

Commi ttee has taken in its review of the role and mission statements of each

institution was also expressed.

The Committee was told that the abbreviated role and mission statements, although

based on the Commission's Master Plan, had not been reviewed by the institutions

and undoubtedly had "sins of both omission and commission."

It would be appreciated if each institution could provide a staff analysis and

comment on the draft statements by November 10, 1978 so that CCHE might

pro-vi de the Chairman of the Legislative Interim Committee drafts that have been

reviewed by each of the respective institutions.

We will continue to indicate to the Chairman our reservations about

incorporat-ing such statements into the statutes, but believe that it is important to

provide the Legisl ature with the best possible material if it should choose to

continue

consid ~ration

of this matter.

Chancellor wants savings applied

.to MSC and UCD

if

schools merge

A possible merger of the University of Colorado al Den-ver and Metropolitan Stale Col-1 e ge would save the slate money, but university officials

shouldn'tcommit themselves lo returning those savings to the stale, UCO Chancellor Harold Haak told CU regents Wednes-day night.

"Neither MSC nor UCO is adequately funded as is," said Haak. The colleges, which share the Auraria campus with Community College of Denver. could eliminate duplication in administrative positions and functions by consolidating. but the savings should be funneled back into the new university. he said.

"We shouldn't promise those savings back to Lhe slate," he said. Haak is a vigorous sup-porter of merging UCO and MSC into a new university.

He told regents and Auraria officials he favors retaining MSC's open admissions policy. career-oriented undergraduate programs and urban studies programs.

At recent hearings on the possible merger, MSC students and faculty have expressed fears that certain programs would be lost in the action.

Before a merger could take place, the Colorado Commission on Higher Education would have to recommend il to the General Assembly and lawmak-ers would have to approve it. The merger possibility has been raised by the commission and the legislative Joint Budget Committee.

BALANCED APPROACH TO GOVERNANCE

OF

COLORADO HIGHER EDUCATION

By design, social institutions are continuously scrutinized to determi'ne

quality of performance and responsiveness to public needs. The democratic

pro-cess combines lay and professional judgments, which, although time consuming,

provide greater

under~tanding

and accountability.

As an indispensable segment of Colorado's social institutions, the colleges

and universities experience a high level of public visibility, and thus are

expected to react objectively and responsively to its constituency. With an

~nviable

record of serving a vital public need, Colorado higher education can do

no less than continue to heed the collective

~1isdom

of its citizens and educators

in maintaining quality collegiate experiences for its students.

In keeping with this spirit, the Colorado State Assembly requested the

· Colorado Commission on Higher Education to submit an updated master plan of

post-secondary. education in Colorado. The report,

11

A Plan and a Process for

Post-secondary Education in Colorado", has been reviev1ed by governing boards, educators

and legislators since its release to the Assembly in February 1978. A strength

of this process is the re-examination of institution missions and roles in light

of current and projected educational needs. A lay endorsement of these missions

and roles carries concomitant expectations that professional educators will

design and deliver the most effective programs to meet these needs. It is also

expected that the governi ng structure be designed to fulfill the approved missions

and roles statements.

It is at this critical juncture in decision making where laymen and

profes-sionals often depart from the substantive

iss~es

and concentrate on the political

science of higher education. There is the inevitable temptation to take time to

draw new road maps to achieve academic goals rather than traveling with

distinc-tion on the well-maintained routes.

STRUCTURE

There is a danger that over-emphasis on structural changes will divert

attention from improvement of substantive matters. Structure should be examined

only in terms of maximizing educational ·effectiveness. Neither institutional

indifference toward structural changes, nor state directives to mandate such changes

will achieve the desired results. But a decade of experience in state

centraliz2-tion coupled with a new set of social motivacentraliz2-tions compels the laymen and

profes-sionals to review governing structures.

In analyzing the recent experiences in Colorado higher education and in

observing other state higher education systems,

it

seems· appropriate to ide!1tify

salient issues concerning the governing structure of the academic community and

how it can serve Colorado most effectively.

The governing bodies in Colorado's academia have been vested by law with the

responsibility of overseeing the operation of colleges and universities with the

idea that concerned citizens work, cum laude. in the best interest of the students

the taxpayers, and the State. Sy virtue of the authority granted them to appoint

requirements; to

~anage

funds made available through tuition, fees,

and general fund monies , they ·have been notably succes sful in making higher

education available to the entire population of the state.

On this successful base of governance must be built a failsafe relationship

to state authority and coordination.

It

should be emphasized that if a

relation-ship between the state and the institution is to have positive impact on the

educational process, a b3.la nce of authority and responsibilities must be generated

and maintained. This balance can be expressed in

ter~s

of principles, leadership,

resources and structure as follows:

Balance in Principles

- Efficiency shoul d be pursued \vithout sacrifice of quality.

Allocat ions with flexibility promote maximum utilization of resources.

- Commitmen t of institutional goals is assured through meaningful involvE:ment.

Responsibility is

r.~ore

readily assumed with shared authority.

Accountability accompanies responsible manageme nt.

Balance in Leadership

- Board members

an ~

professionals should maintain a close interaction to

assure effective

~ rogram

and policy

develo~me nt.

- Lay governance

s~:uld

represent both the local community and state-wide

educational needs.

- Officials of sta:e government and lay boards/corrunissioners and staff should

v1ork effectivel y

~Jg ether

to establish state-\vide policies and to meet

demonstrated

e d~ ~~tional

needs within available resources.

Balance in Resources

- Comparable

sup p~~~

should be provided for comparable program level

regard-less of

institut~~nal

location.

- A basic formula

::r

instructional costs combined with a foundation or

fixed-costs

su ~~:r t

base should be maintained to assure ·equal access to

basic liberal

ar ~ s

and selected professional curricula.

Balance in Structure

In analyzing

Colo~ !~o

higher education based on these balances of principles,

leadership and resources, a structural balance of governance may be

arr i v~ d

at

through the grouping of

~n stitutions

with comparable missions and roles.

(21)

Secretary's Report

balance of systems can be defended and maintained. A review of the current

governing systems reveals a workable and responsive pattern. Those systems arc:

- The University of Colorado with four major administrative units:

University of 'Colorado,

Boul~er;

University of Colorado, Denver; University

of Colorado, Colorado Springs; University of Colorado, Medical Center.

- Colorado State University with four major administrative units: Colcrado

State University, Fort Collins; University of Southern Colorado, Pueblo;

Fort Lewis College, Durango; Colorado State

Univ~rsity

Field Services

(extensions and experimental stati ons).

- Consortium of State Colleges with four major administrative units: Adams

State College, Al amosa; Mesa College, Grand Junction; Metropolitan State

College, Denver; Western State College, Gunni son.

- Specialized doctoral granting institutions: Colorado School of Mines

offering engineering and technology programs; University of Northern

Colorado offering limited doctoral programs with major emphasis on teacher

education and special education.

- Community Colleges and Occupational Education system representing a

com-bination of local advisory boards and state coordination. The reliance

on local advisory boards and state coordination. The reliance on loc al

boards is justified since the community colleges are basically organized

to serve their immediate

co~munity.

This balanced approach to governance necessitates a coordinating agency to

provide state-wide analyses, planning and policies.

A structura

1 ba

1 ance is maintained' by this approach because the governing

board is easily identified with the educational sector and type of institution

it

governs. Uniformity .of purpose and sharing of resources are easily

identi-fied while the integrity of the individual programs is maintained.

The sector governing boards provide multiple opportunities for the boards to

develop the most effective pro9ra1mning patterns and delivery systems for the li ke

institutions under their control. The number of institutions under each governing

board offers a balance in m&nagement. There are enough institutions to provide

an exchange of expertise and resources, yet small enough to allow the gcverning

board to deal with the unique concerns of each institut ion. The coordinating

agency could promote and support utilization of the most effective approaches

developed and tested in the various governing sectors.

The leadership quality of a governing board is measured through the students :

educational attainment in liberal and career education. An institution's ability

to measure this output is directly related to the nature of its governance

struc-ture. The cosmopo l itan nature and mobility of society do not support the

con~

cept that a state higher education institution should be governed only by the

irrmediate community

i:1

\'lhich

it

is physically located; nor does

it

imply a super

structure which separates it from the educational or societal concerns of the

inmediate service region.

(22)

Secretary's Report

Committees & General Business

7-1 (g)

A balance of governing boards

co~1bines

the best of both concepts.

StGte-wide boards exist for those institutions which have a state-StGte-wide missi on, i.e.,

the universities and fouryear colleges. The community colleges have a cor;;binii

-tion governing authority comprised of a local advisory council composed of

community representatives v1ith a sepai·ate state-v1ide coordinating boai·d. This

balance in structure allows for a span of control which does not over-tax the

governing board with too many institutions, yet it maintains the requisite of

good leadership and a close alliance with the individual institutions.

The effectiveness of such system operations can be illustrated by the

experience of the Consortium of State Colleges since its inception in 1977. The

Consortium conce pt of governance

combin~s

individual institutional support vlithin

a system of shared programs and resources. The basic Consortium concept is to

stress the combined use cf available resources to enhance program develo pment.

This cooperative effort not only extends throughout the colleges the Trustees

govern but to other institutions of hi gher education in Colorado. When a need

for a

nevi

program is identified, it is often expensive to implement un ilatera lly

within each institution's resources. H01·1ever,

if

the program is available in a

sister institution, the Consortiun1 approach can provide thi s program at a lower

cost than would be possible through the independently initiated program of a

second institution. If the program attracts a large student enrollment on a

long-term basis, then a board decision can be made to develop that particular program

on an institutional basis.

The approach provides desirable program flexibility wl1ile minimizing costs.

Available resources are marshalled to 1:ieet immediate needs of students. Each

institution governed by the Trustees

u1~der

the Consorti um co ncept has the

opportu-nity to utilize resource sharing which not only includes program sharing, but also

faculty,

staff~

general and cash funds, and facilities. This bonding of

institu-tions .within the Consortium allm·1s fci· consolidation of resources, thereby

div2rsi-fying opportunities for more students at the most economical level.

The Consortium concept developed under the authority of the Trustees of the

State Colleges demonstrates the conce1·ted effort of a governing board to enrich

the educati ona

1

experiences of the s

:~:dents

under its trust.

Other governing

boards are developing their own approach to enhance the educational opportunities

for the students in their system.

Higher education has been

struc~~red

and restructured--the recycling of

pro-posals for change could be likened

t:

the astronomically rich man who had spun

so much straw into gold that he was f:rced to reverse the process in order to have

a reason to get up in the morning.

~ ny

change in governance should not be

under-ta ken as an exercise in politica l one-upmanship or expertise, but as a wel

l-con-ceived program which will further

e~ h an ce

availability and quality of the programs

being delivered to today's students.

'

Lest the substantive matters of

h~gher

education be obscured in political

changes in its governing structure,

sound. Therefore, institutions, governing boards and the legislature must not

shirk their responsibility of delivering the most effective educational progran;s

through the frivolous use of academic rhetoric, political persuasions and

statutory adjustments.

Governance is a central

iss~e

to a balanced approach to higher education.

The present balance in governance will perpetuate a hea lthy balance in principles

and leadership and assure the maximum use of resources. The structures and

concepts presented here reflect approaches which have worked and will work for

the greatest welfare of the students and supporting constituents of Colorado

coll eges and universities.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Moved, that the following recommended action be and is hereby approved: That the President of Fort Lewis College be permitted to sign

the attached contract. EXPLANATION:

The Four Corners Environmental Research Institute (FOCERI) is made up of Fort Lewis College science professors plus several scientists living in

the community. Its. pu~pose is to operate as a non-profit organization designed to take advantage of opportunities to do research assignments for private enterprise, government agencies, etc., and to use Fort Lewis College equipment as the occasion demands. The opportunities thus far have been minimal. In the past year, for example, there were no projects involving Fort Lewis College.

The attached contract will possibly provide some sununertime employment for both students and faculty and possibly provide some gain in materials and equipment for the College laboratories.

the situation which exists at the time of the Joint Budget Comnittee hearing.

It is always a perplexing problem to determine the percentage of salary increase to request for the forthcoming budget year. A record of the Fort Lewis College requests for salary increases and increases granted by the General Assembly and the percentage of change in consumer price index since 1970-71 is as follows:

1979-80 1978-79 1977-78 1976-77 1975-76 1974-75 1973-74 1972-73 1971-72 1970-71

October 31, 1978, a majority of those voting indicated a desire to remain flexible in terms of the increase requested. Would the Board authorize the President of Fort Lewis College to request a larger percentage of increase--for example, twelve percentT-at the time of the JBC Hearing?

Faculty have continuing association and involvement with area schools through supervision of student teachers, teaching of extension and continuing education courses, professional meetings, consulta-tions, workshops, and in-service programs. Library holdings are extensive and support a broad general curriculum, meeting the needs of both students and faculty.

made. This information, as well as that obtained in less formal ways, is well utilized in improving programs. Long-range planning activities are regularly undertaken at this institution.
