Zawacki CALL TO ORDER Committee Chair Bean called to order the meeting of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System Board of Regents Executive Committee at 8:00 a.m. (ET), June 14, The meeting was held in Conference Room I of the Marriott RiverCenter in Covington, Kentucky. Chair Bean announced that the press was notified of the meeting on June 8, There being a quorum present, Committee business began with the approval of minutes. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Ms. Reeder moved and Ms. Read seconded that the minutes of the March 22, 2007, Executive Committee meeting be approved. VOTE: The minutes were approved by unanimous consent. Mr. Savage was not present for the vote. ADDITIONS OR CHANGES TO THE AGENDA There were no additions or changes to the agenda. ACTION: REVISED MISSION STATEMENT FOR GATEWAY COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGE RECOMMENDATION: That the KCTCS Board of Regents approve a revised mission statement as presented in the agenda materials for Gateway Community and Technical College. Chair Bean called on KCTCS President Michael B. McCall to present this item. President McCall introduced Dr. G. Edward Hughes, Gateway Community and Technical College President/CEO, who assisted with the presentation. It was noted that it is KCTCS policy that a college mission statement be reviewed annually and that the mission statement be submitted to the KCTCS Board of Regents for approval at least once every three years. Dr. Hughes distributed a copy of the proposed mission statement (which is also found on page 60 of the Board s June 15, 2007, meeting materials) and the college s vision statement. It was noted that the technical aspect of the college s mission is incorporated into the workforce component of the proposed mission statement. 61
4 DRAFT Gateway Community and Technical College has applied for SACS accreditation. The college hosted a SACS Candidacy Visiting Team March 6-8, The faculty and staff of Gateway Community and Technical College recommended the revised mission statement on April 27, The revised mission statement was endorsed by the Gateway Community and Technical College Board of Directors on May 21, MOTION: Ms. Read moved and Mr. Zawacki seconded that the Executive Committee recommend that the KCTCS Board of Regents approve a revised mission statement as presented in the agenda materials for Gateway Community and Technical College. VOTE: The motion was approved unanimously. Mr. Savage was not present for the vote. ACTION: RESOLUTION ENDORSING THE FOR-PROFIT ACTIVITIES OF THE KCTCS FOUNDATION, INC. RECOMMENDATION: That the KCTCS Board of Regents adopt the Resolution Endorsing the For-Profit Activities of the KCTCS Foundation, Inc. as presented on page 64 of the agenda materials, which endorses the KCTCS Foundation, Inc. Board of Directors decision to expand the purposes of the KCTCS Foundation, Inc. to support entrepreneurial and private revenue generating activities of KCTCS. Chair Bean called on President McCall to present this item. KCTCS Vice President Timothy Burcham assisted with the presentation. It was noted that the KCTCS Foundation, Inc. Board of Directors took action at its December 2006 meeting to expand the purpose of the Foundation to include opportunities for private-sector for-profit involvement with the KCTCS Foundation or its subsidiaries. The Foundation s action was based on: KCTCS partners requests that KCTCS consider business relationships that could potentially generate private revenue to enhance the KCTCS Mission, Vision, and Strategic Plan goals. KCTCS already has several cutting edge partnerships that can produce intellectual property. The common practice in postsecondary education to operate trade and business ventures through foundations to generate non-state revenues to support the missions of the respective postsecondary education entities. A KCTCS Foundation, Inc. Ad Hoc Committee on For-Profit Ventures formal recommendation to the KCTCS Foundation, Inc. Board of Directors at the Foundation s annual meeting in August The ad hoc committee studied issues associated with for-profit ventures of a 501(c)(3) organization and sought legal counsel from two law firms: Greenebaum Doll & McDonald in Louisville, and Deters, Benzinger & LaVelle. Additional research was conducted on Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations related to non-profit organizations. 62
5 DRAFT It was noted that the resolution was needed for historical records and future Board members. Board approval of the proposed resolution would acknowledge and endorse the Foundation s decision to pursue for-profit ventures with the expectations that the ventures approved by the Foundation would be reported back to the KCTCS Board of Regents. Endorsing the Foundation s decision to pursue for-profit ventures would dovetail with the Board of Regents 1999 decision to endorse the creation of comprehensive resource development, upon which the KCTCS Foundation, Inc. is built. The Foundation exists to raise money for the System in areas where funding might otherwise be unavailable. Similarly, the revenue generated from the Foundation s for-profit ventures would be unrestricted and could be used to fund KCTCS initiatives. An evaluation checklist for use in reviewing and approving for-profit venture requests was developed. The checklist emphasizes linkage to the KCTCS Mission and KCTCS Vision. The Foundation is reluctant to approve any forprofit venture that is not supported by the KCTCS President and the System or that does not support the KCTCS Strategic Plan Two main criteria for such a venture include tie-in to the KCTCS Strategic Plan and the venture s ability to generate revenue. The Committee did not act on the resolution. It requested that staff obtain KCTCS legal counsel advice regarding: The necessity for the resolution. How the legal structure of the two entities can be protected. How KCTCS Board of Regents endorsement of the Foundation s decision and adoption of the resolution might obligate KCTCS in terms of the Foundation s for-profit ventures. Chair Bean noted that the minutes of the KCTCS Board of Regents June 15, 2007, meeting could serve as the record of the Foundation s decision to pursue for-profit ventures being reported to the Board. ACTION: KCTCS BOARD OF REGENTS 2008 REGULAR MEETING CALENDAR RECOMMENDATION: That the KCTCS Board of Regents adopt the following meeting calendar for the year 2008: March 13-14, 2008 June 12-13, 2008 September 25-26, 2008 December 4-5, 2008 Chair Bean noted that according to KRS and the KCTCS Board of Regents Bylaws, the KCTCS Board of Regents is mandated to meet quarterly. A proposed 2008 regular meeting calendar was presented as an information item 63
6 DRAFT at the March 23, 2007, KCTCS Board of Regents meeting for review. At that time, a conflict was identified with one of the proposed dates. Subsequently, the Board was polled via regarding an alternative meeting date for March All regents responding to the poll indicated attendance availability for Board meetings on the dates presented in the recommendation. The dates avoid federal holidays. After the Board s 2008 meeting dates are established, staff will work with the colleges to determine meeting locations for 2008 and will notify Board members of the locations selected. MOTION: Ms. Reeder moved and Mr. Savage seconded that the Executive Committee recommend that the KCTCS Board of Regents adopt the following meeting calendar for the year 2008: March 13-14, 2008 June 12-13, 2008 September 25-26, 2008 December 4-5, 2008 VOTE: The motion was approved unanimously. UPDATE: TECHNICAL EDITS Chair Bean called on President McCall to present this item. Based on the Board s March 23, 2007, action to update KCTCS Board of Regents Policy 7.7 (related to naming colleges) in view of the fact that consolidations are complete and, therefore, deleting the term district from the policy because it is no longer needed, technical edits have been made to: KCTCS Board of Regents Bylaws Section Executive Committee. The term district structure has been deleted. College names has been replaced with naming opportunities for colleges, campuses, and buildings. KCTCS Board of Regents Policy 4.3 KCTCS Review of Educational Units. The term district has been changed to college in the last paragraph. ACTION: KCTCS STRATEGIC PLAN REVISED PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND TARGETS RECOMMENDATION: That the KCTCS Board of Regents accept revised KCTCS Strategic Plan performance measures and targets as presented in Attachment A. Chair Bean called on President McCall to present this item. Dr. Christina Whitfield, KCTCS System Director for the Office of Research and Policy Analysis, assisted with the presentation. A revised agenda item was distributed at the meeting. It was noted that a more detailed presentation would be given at the June 15, 2007, Board of Regents meeting. Since initial acceptance of the performance measures and targets, the Board has received updates on the performance measures and targets at each of its regular meetings via the KCTCS President s Report. 64
7 DRAFT The KCTCS Board of Regents Efficiency, Effectiveness, and Accountability (EEA) Committee, a committee of the whole, is responsible for advising the KCTCS Board and recommending action on policies related to accountability. At its March 10, 2005, meeting/workshop, the EEA Committee identified core indicators for the KCTCS Strategic Plan The Board initially accepted the core indicators, along with performance measures and targets, at the June 10, 2005, KCTCS Board of Regents meeting. Revised targets were accepted in September 2005 based on additional performance data becoming available. Core indicators were selected for their proxy, communication, and data power. Priority assigned to the core indicators, the performance measures, and the targets themselves can change over the course of the strategic planning period to ensure continuous progress toward achieving KCTCS Strategic Plan goals, the KCTCS Vision, and the KCTCS Mission. In March 2006, the EEA Committee noted that while some performance targets already had been achieved, identifying new targets would be delayed until the midpoint review of the strategic plan in order to obtain better trend line estimations for some of the measures. The KCTCS Strategic Plan is now at the midpoint of implementation; and the EEA Committee discussed and provided input on revised performance measure definitions and five-year targets at its March 22, 2007, meeting/workshop. The recommended performance measures and targets incorporate feedback from the EEA Committee and the President s Leadership Team (PLT). MOTION: Dr. Wise moved and Ms. Read seconded that the Executive Committee recommend that the KCTCS Board of Regents accept revised KCTCS Strategic Plan performance measures and targets as presented in the revised agenda materials [Attachment A]. VOTE: The motion was approved unanimously. ACTION: KCTCS PRESIDENT S LEADERSHIP INITIATIVE RECOMMENDATION: That the KCTCS Board of Regents approve the KCTCS President s annual leadership initiative as presented in revised agenda materials [Attachment B] mailed to the Board June 8, Chair Bean called on President McCall to present this item. Materials related to ARISE were mailed to the Board Friday, June 8, 2007, and were distributed at the meeting. It was noted that a more detailed presentation would be provided at the Board meeting. The KCTCS Board of Regents established KCTCS Board of Regents Policy 2.5 KCTCS President s Performance Review to guide the evaluation process, incorporating the annual Leadership Initiative as a key component of the KCTCS President s performance evaluation. The KCTCS Board of Regents Policy 2.5 states that the KCTCS President s annual Leadership Initiative is to be determined by the KCTCS President at the beginning of each 65
8 DRAFT evaluation cycle in consultation with the President s Leadership Team. Then, the KCTCS President meets with the KCTCS Board of Regents at the beginning of each performance review period to reach agreement on and establish the goals of the Leadership Initiative for the performance review period. The Leadership Initiative is to be aligned with the KCTCS Strategic Plan in order to establish annual goals and report accomplishments. The current evaluation cycle concludes June 30, President McCall provided an overview of the Leadership Initiative, noting that the proposed Leadership Initiative builds upon the research findings resulting from the LEAP Leadership Initiative. The focus for ARISE is to improve the employability of Kentucky s citizens and to ensure continued success and growth at the 16 KCTCS colleges. Based on the results of the LEAP initiatives, KCTCS will be Accountable by Reinventing itself through Implementation of aggressive Strategies that, when Evaluated, will demonstrate that Kentucky students are college and workforce ready, that KCTCS is the premier provider of online education, and that Kentucky s workers are better prepared to enable business and industry to be more competitive. The ARISE initiatives are: Development of P-12 partnership plans at each college to implement intervention strategies that improve college and workforce readiness of high school graduates. These strategies will help address recent research estimates that 82 percent of students entering KCTCS colleges require one or more developmental courses. Additionally, a Council on Postsecondary Education report released last fall shows the drop-out rate of underprepared students was twice the rate of academically prepared freshmen. CPE has proposed increasing the statewide standards of readiness in mathematics and reading to an ACT score of 19 and 21 respectively. If the CPE proposal is accepted, students who score below these standards (effective fall 2009) must be provided with remediation interventions. Implementation of a new model for virtual learning to expand program offerings, particularly in workforce and career development. The new model will provide additional postsecondary education opportunities for Kentuckians, attract new students to KCTCS, and meet employers expressed need for more onsite, online skills training for current workers. Initiation of a strategic workforce competitiveness program to respond proactively to the identified needs of business and industry. Over the last six months, statewide meetings with more than 300 business leaders in 17 dialogue sessions have been held, resulting in the identification of the need for KCTCS to reinvent the role its colleges play in providing services, training, and operations to Kentucky s business and industries in a rapidly changing marketplace. 66
9 DRAFT The Committee discussed ARISE terminology, evaluation criteria, and success definitions. It was noted that past annual leadership initiatives had specific goals and target measurements linked to each letter of the acronym. Additionally, the Committee discussed how to assess outcomes and measure success for the ARISE initiatives. MOTION: Ms. Read moved and Dr. Wise seconded that the Executive Committee recommend that the KCTCS Board of Regents approve the KCTCS President s annual leadership initiative as presented in revised materials [Attachment B]. VOTE: The motion was approved unanimously. NEXT MEETING Chair Bean announced that the next regular meeting of the Executive Committee would be September 27, 2007, in Albany, Kentucky, at the Clinton Center of Somerset Community College.

14 Attachment B DRAFT ARISE (Accountability Reinvent Implementation Strategies Evaluation) Leadership Focus of President Michael B. McCall July 1, June 30, 2008 Based on the results of the LEAP initiatives, KCTCS will be accountable by reinventing itself through the implementation of aggressive strategies that when evaluated will demonstrate that our students are college and workforce ready, that KCTCS is the premier provider of online education, and that Kentucky s workers are better prepared to enable business and industry to be more competitive. College and Workforce Readiness Development of P-12 partnership plans at each college to implement intervention strategies that improve college and workforce readiness of high school graduates. Virtual Learning Initiative Selection of one or more programs for online implementation in the new model. Workforce Competitiveness Initiative Initiation of a strategic workforce competitiveness program to respond proactively to the identified needs of business and industry. 72
15 DRAFT ARISE (Accountability Reinvent Implementation Strategies Evaluation) College and Workforce Readiness Accountability: Develop intervention plans to improve college and workforce readiness. Background Several recent studies, including the ACT/WorkKeys Study and the American Diploma Project, conclude that all high school students need to be educated to a comparable level of readiness in reading and mathematics to be successful in college-level courses without remediation and to enter workforce training programs ready to learn job-specific skills. The Kentucky Postsecondary Education Improvement Act of 1997, which established KCTCS, mandates that the System improve the... employability of the citizens of the Commonwealth. In response, KCTCS developed, with business and industry and other stakeholders, the WorkKeys Kentucky Employability Certificate to document workforce readiness. During the academic year, the KCTCS LEAP Assessments initiative administered WorkKeys assessments to a sample of first-time, credential-seeking students to determine student college and workforce readiness. Senate Bill 130 (SB 130) as enacted in the 2006 Regular Session of the Kentucky General Assembly calls for all Kentucky high school students to be assessed using ACT or WorkKeys beginning in to determine their level of preparedness for college and the workforce. Subsequently, the Kentucky Department of Education adopted the ACT EPAS (EXPLORE, PLAN, and ACT) which assesses college and workforce readiness beginning in middle school. Postsecondary institutions are expected to work with the P-12 system in assisting them with curriculum alignment and with preparation for increased readiness. The KCTCS LEAP Assessments initiative identified ways in which KCTCS can support the college and workforce readiness provisions of SB 130. Concurrently with the KCTCS LEAP Assessments initiative, CPE created a Developmental Education Task Force, consisting of legislators, secondary and postsecondary educators (including President McCall), and CPE members and staff, that addressed the findings of the fall 2006 report Developmental Education Update: The Preparation of Students Entering Kentucky s Public Colleges and Universities in 2002 and This report showed that half of the state s first-time college freshmen did not meet the CPE minimum standards for preparation in math, English and reading. In February 2007, the Task Force released the report Securing Kentucky s Future: A Plan for Improving College Readiness and Success with a series of recommendations calling for stronger steps to improve college readiness among Kentucky students. Funding for infrastructure and performance funding is expected to be part of the state budget. 73
16 DRAFT The spring 2007 Kentucky High School Feedback Report: Class of 2004 provided information to high schools and receiving colleges regarding the performance of their students at the postsecondary level and the strengths and weaknesses of the secondary school system in preparing students for college. The report reinforced the fall 2006 study of developmental education in postsecondary education and also found that almost 40 percent of Kentucky college freshmen from the 2004 class lost their Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship money after their first year at college because their G.P.A. fell below the mandatory minimum of 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale). The Need to Reinvent According to the results of the KCTCS LEAP Assessments initiative, 42 percent of the students in Reading for Information and 50 percent of those assessed in Applied Mathematics scored below the minimum for workforce and college readiness. Approximately 3.2 percent of those assessed were at a level of reading that would require intensive adult education literacy services. Eighty percent of the students assessed with the third WorkKeys assessment, Locating Information, were also under the minimal level. Approximately 82 percent of entering KCTCS students requires one or more developmental education courses. According to the findings of CPE s fall 2006 report Developmental Education Update, the first-time dropout rate of underprepared students was twice the rate of academically prepared freshmen. At its May 2007 meeting, CPE increased the statewide standards of readiness in mathematics and reading to an ACT score of 19 and 21 respectively. Students who score below these standards (effective fall 2009) must be provided with remediation interventions Implementation Strategies Share and discuss with the local school districts the results of the WorkKeys Assessments and the Kentucky High School Feedback Report: Class of 2004 specific to their graduates enrolled in KCTCS. Collaborate with the local school districts to select the strategies to be used at the secondary and postsecondary levels to improve the college and workforce readiness of all students entering KCTCS. Evaluation Development of P-12 partnership plans at each college to implement intervention strategies that improve college and workforce readiness of high school graduates. 74
17 DRAFT REVISED 6/14/07 ARISE (Accountability Reinvent Implementation Strategies Evaluation) Virtual Learning Initiative Accountability: Implement a new model of virtual learning. Background KCTCS has completed a year long process researching the state of its online learning, the market demand for online learning, and the new technologies that enhance the delivery of curriculum to students anywhere, anytime, and to any device. Additionally, KCTCS reviewed national models for the efficient, effective, and self-sustaining deployment of online learning. From this research and analysis, KCTCS crafted a model for online learning that suits the Kentucky education environment to meet market demands for an educated workforce as well as provide the potential for new funds to support KCTCS initiatives. The infrastructure to support this new online model will be developed in The Need to Reinvent While KCTCS colleges are offering many online courses, most of the students taking online courses were already enrolled at one of the colleges. In 2006, only 1.7 percent of the students enrolled in one or more online courses were first-time KCTCS students. It will take new processes to reach new markets. The Kentucky Virtual Campus (KYVC) is no longer going to support the technical infrastructure for e-learning to the extent it has done since Market research showed that in Kentucky alone, approximately 561,000 prospective adult students would be extremely/very likely to pursue a postsecondary education if they could do so online. Research into comparative models showed that there are numerous programs, mainly in the career and workforce areas, that are not being offered online; thus, there is a need for these programs both within and outside Kentucky. Research with Kentucky employers showed that there is a need to provide just-in-time training to incumbent workers that would allow them to upgrade their skills without interfering with their work day and that there was need for specific training for certain industry requirements. Cost modeling scenarios demonstrated that there is opportunity to develop delivery processes for self-sustaining online learning, thus decreasing dependency on limited state resources and providing new resources from new markets for KCTCS programs. 75
18 DRAFT Implementation Strategies Create online programs in the new model from proposals submitted by the colleges. Evaluation Selection of one or more programs for online implementation in the new model. 76
19 DRAFT ARISE (Accountability Reinvent Implementation Strategies Evaluation) Workforce Competitiveness Initiative Accountability: Initiate a strategic workforce competitiveness program. Background Since May 1997, the tenets of the Kentucky Postsecondary Education Improvement Act of 1997 have been the guiding force for the development of KCTCS as the primary provider of workforce education and training for all Kentuckians. One of the goals of the KCTCS Strategic Plan is to enhance the economic development of communities and the Commonwealth. The LEAP Workforce Competitiveness initiative was designed to engage CEO/executive business leaders throughout the state in a dialogue that would connect the KCTCS Mission and Vision with Kentucky s economic future. These CEO briefings brought together more than 300 business leaders in 17 dialogue sessions (one at each college and one at the System Office) in a structured discussion on the workforce and economic development challenges facing Kentucky s leading businesses. The results of these dialogues will be published and presented by President McCall to the KCTCS Board of Regents and the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce s annual Economic Development Summit. Concurrently with the CEO dialogues, KCTCS also conducted a benchmarking study of the Community and Economic Development Offices of each college to determine the range of services, training, and operations being provided to business and industry. The results of this study were presented to the President s Leadership Team in February Both studies demonstrate the need for KCTCS to re-evaluate how it provides services to business and industry and to reinvent the role of the colleges in meeting Kentucky s workforce and economic development challenges. The Need to Reinvent Business and industry needs are changing dramatically as employers attempt to keep pace with the competitive pressures of the global marketplace and the changing demographics of the workforce, particularly the need for higher level technical and supervisory skills. Employers need workers who possess the essential skills to increase productivity and efficiency and who can respond to constant technological changes. KCTCS needs to develop proactive responses and restructure its marketing and delivery system to meet the needs of employers and employees alike. KCTCS needs to link its unique role in preparing Kentucky s future workforce with the goals and strategies of Kentucky s business leaders. 77
20 Implementation Strategies Design a strategic workforce competitiveness program to include: A comprehensive professional development program for college personnel involved in workforce services. Program content and new delivery systems that respond to the expressed training needs of business and industry. A targeted KCTCS workforce marketing and sales program to respond effectively to the changing requirements of Kentucky s workforce. Evaluation Initiation of a strategic workforce competitiveness program to respond proactively to the identified needs of business and industry. 78
21 ACTION REVISED MISSION STATEMENT FOR Agenda Item H-1 SOMERSET COMMUNITY COLLEGE September 28, 2007 Background The Principles of Accreditation: Foundations for Quality Enhancement of the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) states that an institution must have a clearly defined and published mission statement specific to the institution and appropriate to an institution of higher education, addressing teaching and learning and, where applicable, research and public service and that it must be approved by the governing board. Rationale It is the policy of the KCTCS Board of Regents that each of the SACS-accredited colleges under the jurisdiction of the KCTCS Board of Regents have a statement of purpose approved by the governing board and that the KCTCS Board of Regents periodically review and approve mission statements of each of the SACS-accredited colleges. It is the policy of KCTCS that the college mission statement is to be reviewed annually and that the mission statement is to be submitted to the KCTCS Board of Regents for approval at least once every three years. The Leadership Team of Somerset Community College recommended the revised mission statement on July 10, The Faculty Council of Somerset Community College recommended the revised mission statement on July 13, The Board of Directors of Somerset Community College endorsed the revised mission statement on July 26, Recommendation That the KCTCS Board of Regents approve a revised mission statement as presented in the agenda materials for Somerset Community College. 79
22 Somerset Community College Mission Statement Somerset Community College, located in south-central Kentucky, is a comprehensive community and technical college with a mission to provide quality, affordable, and accessible educational and training opportunities that address the needs of its district. a member of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System, is a public two-year degree granting institution serving the south-central region of Kentucky.

23 NAMING OF THE BUILDING AT THE ACTION MUHLENBERG COUNTY CAMPUS OF Agenda Item H-2 MADISONVILLE COMMUNITY COLLEGE September 28, 2007 Background Madisonville Community College is seeking approval to name the 22,000 square foot building on the college s Muhlenberg County Campus the P.A. and Pauline Shaver Education Center (see Attachment A). Documentation supporting the college s request can be found in Attachment B. Dr. Judith L. Rhoads, Madisonville Community College President / CEO, states, the whole Shaver family has been involved in educational activities that support Muhlenberg County for five decades. As the letter indicates, Thomas and Mary Ann Skip Shaver of Thousand Oaks, California, and formerly of Central City, Kentucky, have pledged $750,000 over four years (January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2011) to the Muhlenberg County Endowment for Excellence. The pledge was made to fulfill requirements set forth in the college s named-giving opportunities in anticipation that consideration be given to naming the college s Muhlenberg facility in memory and honor of Thomas Shaver s parents, P.A. and Pauline Shaver. P.A. Shaver served 28 years on the Central City Independent Board of Education, 19 of which he served as Board Chair. His wife, Pauline, was active with the Parent Teacher Association, serving the organization as president. The Shaver family also supported Madisonville Community College through donations. Rationale KCTCS Board of Regents Policy 7.10 Naming of Buildings and Facilities for Private Donors states that it is appropriate and often very desirable to name a building (or parts thereof) to express the esteem and appreciation the college and/or KCTCS feels for an individual, family, business, or organization that has given significantly and voluntarily of their time and money and/or who has brought extraordinary honor to the institution/system by their accomplishments. The Shaver family has actively supported educational activities in Muhlenberg County for five decades, giving financial and time resources. Thomas and Mary Ann Skip Shaver s four-year (January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2011) pledge of $750,000 to the Muhlenberg County Endowment for Excellence fulfills requirements set forth in the college s named-giving opportunities. The college has discussed the naming proposal with the Shaver family, the college leadership, and the college s local board (see Attachment B). All parties are agreeable to the proposed naming recommendation. Recommendation That the KCTCS Board of Regents approve the naming of the 22,000 square foot building on the college s Muhlenberg County Campus the P.A. and Pauline Shaver Education Center as requested by Dr. Judith L. Rhoads, Madisonville Community College President / CEO, and endorsed by the Madisonville Community College Board of Directors and college employees. 81

27 INFORMATION: Agenda Item H-3 KCTCS BUSINESS PLAN PROPOSAL September 28, 2007 At the meeting, Dr. Michael B. McCall, KCTCS President, will present the KCTCS Business Plan proposal. KCTCS will develop the Business Plan that will have significant, positive impacts on the Commonwealth by increasing KCTCS focus on the specific mission and mandates issued to KCTCS in the enactment of the Kentucky Postsecondary Education Improvement Act of 1997 (and subsequent amendments), also known as House Bill 1, and the goals set forth for Kentucky to be achieved by The plan to be developed will address the following KCTCS missioncritical components: Workforce Education and Training As the state s primary provider of workforce education and training, KCTCS is essential to the global competitiveness of business and industry and the economic development of the Commonwealth. With the expected loss of thousands of highly skilled workers who will reach retirement age over the next 10 years, combined with the need for more highly skilled workers to keep business and industry on the competitive edge, the Business Plan will focus on expanding existing programs and creating new programs to meet the projected openings in high growth, high wage jobs called for by the Kentucky Workforce Investment Board and the Cabinet for Economic Development. In , KCTCS is launching a statewide Strategic Workforce Competitiveness Initiative aimed at re-engineering the workforce education and training divisions of KCTCS colleges to become more responsive to the needs of Kentucky s businesses and industries. Pre-baccalaureate Transfer Education As KCTCS is the most accessible and low cost pathway for the majority of Kentuckians to pursue a baccalaureate degree, the Business Plan for KCTCS will focus on achieving the proposed CPE Double the Numbers 2020 headcount enrollment goal of 115,800 students; of whom 11,334 will transfer to four-year colleges and universities in Kentucky. KCTCS will mount an initiative to nearly double the current percentage of KCTCS students transferring to institutions offering baccalaureate degrees in Kentucky. The Business Plan will propose an overhaul of the current transfer system to eliminate barriers for KCTCS students wishing to transfer to Kentucky s eight public universities. 85
28 Remediation/Developmental Education In response to the recommendations of the Council on Postsecondary Education s (CPE) Developmental Education Task Force, the KCTCS Business Plan will focus its efforts on providing remediation services to 100 percent of KCTCS students who enroll with a demonstrated need for remediation to facilitate their successful completion of college-level courses. KCTCS will assume the lead role in providing adult education and literacy programs and services in accordance with the specific mandate assigned to KCTCS in House Bill 1. KCTCS will also work closely with the Kentucky Department of Education and the superintendents of local school districts to implement intervention strategies that will enhance graduating high school student readiness to succeed in college and the workforce, which today and in the future are the same. Funding Requirements To achieve the significant expectations for the Commonwealth envisioned by state policymakers between now and 2020, the KCTCS Business Plan will require an additional recurring base state appropriation increase in each biennium. New state funding will further the KCTCS commitment to achieving the mission-critical areas previously noted. Following the presentation, the Board will be asked to discuss this proposal. 86
29 ACTION Agenda Item H KCTCS LEGISLATIVE AGENDA September 28, 2007 At the meeting, Dr. Michael B. McCall, KCTCS President, will present the KCTCS legislative agenda proposal for the 2008 Regular Session of the Kentucky General Assembly. Additional materials will be presented at the meeting.
