PUBLIC COMMENT No one signed up for public comment. COMMUNICATIONS 1. Letter, September 17, 2021, from CWU alumni soccer players/community supporters, regarding the resignation of Women’s Soccer Coach. 2. Letter, September 20, 2021, from a student, regarding a class issue. 3. Letter, September 21, 2021, from CWU alumni soccer players and graduate assistants, regarding the resignation of Women’s Soccer Coach. 4. Email, October 11, 2021, Julee Simmons, regarding vaccination exemptions. PRESIDENT’S REPORT President Wohlpart reviewed the agenda and updated the board on strategic planning. The university community and external supporters responded to our survey to gather input regarding the development of a new vision and mission. The steering committee will now spend time analyzing and coding the feedback in order to make certain all voices are heard in the process. Open forums on draft vision and mission statements will be held during winter quarter. PROVOST’S REPORT Provost DenBeste reported that a central strategy for improving student retention and overall success is the use of “high-impact” practices (HIPs) in teaching and research. HIPs engage students by providing richer more lasting, and more personal connections to subject matter. HIPs demand considerable investments of time and effort by students and often highlight “real-world” applications and relevance. The approach offers meaningful interactions between faculty and students, frequent and substantive feedback, as well as collaboration across disciplines and cultures. Examples of these practices include capstone courses and projects, study abroad, internships, community-based learning/service learning, undergraduate research, writing intensive coursework, common intellectual experiences, first year seminars, ePortfolios, and collaborative assignments and projects. CWU provides an excellent array of such opportunities, but they are not necessarily organized in an intentional way, nor are they accessible to all students. In order to improve graduation rates, enhance students’ sense of belonging, and ensure they are prepared for the workplace, universities must ensure that all students have access to more than one high-impact practice during their university careers. BUDGET WORK SESSION Vice President Klucking gave a budget update. Fall-quarter enrollment is the official benchmark used by the state and the university for budgeting. As student enrollment is CWU’s main budgetary driver, fall- quarter data allows us to evaluate the assumptions made during the budget development process throughout the preceding months. In July, the board reviews and approves a draft budget, including proposed investments, estimated enrollment, and other factors. The budget is finalized in October based on official enrollment data.
2 Board of Trustees Minutes October 21 and 22, 2021
Each year after the tenth day of classes, when students have added or dropped classes and enrollment has stabilized, staff create a fresh revenue forecast for the remainder of the year for all fund groups. Historically, this has provided a very accurate prediction of the full-year financial activities. VP Klucking said we have taken the same care with this year’s forecast as in the past, but need to insert some cautionary notes; the change in instructional modality, on-campus residency, and potential COVID-19 activity presents a higher level of uncertainty in the ability to predict enrollment and budget for the balance of the year. Fall 2021 enrollment was originally projected to be down about 4% compared to the prior fall, due mostly to circumstances created by the global pandemic. Actual enrollment at Fall 2021 10 th day census was 10,212, down 8.8% from the prior year. The majority of the decline is the result of lower first-year and new transfer students; continuing student persistence remained relatively strong. This overall enrollment is projected to result in relatively minor adjustment to revenues and related operating expenses. The work session ended at 11:45 a.m. Board members and President and Mrs. Wohlpart had lunch at University House. No business was conducted.
The work session reconvened at 1:30 p.m.
HIGH IMPACT PRACTICES Provost DenBeste introduced guests from CWU’s Teach STEM program. During this portion of the board meeting, students and faculty in this program will demonstrate some of the ways that the principles of high impact practices are integrated in to their degree program. CWU Teach STEM is the only UTeach program in Washington state. The program is an innovative teacher preparation model that includes collaboration between sciences and education that supports students seeking teaching certification in science and mathematics fields. The STEM Teaching Program uniquely supports students, who can immediately apply what they learn in K-12 classrooms, from their first course throughout the entire program. The following faculty and students also participated in the presentation to the board: • Jennifer M. Dechaine, professor in the Departments of Science and Mathematics Education and Biological Sciences, Science and Mathematics Education chair, and co-director of CWU’s UTeach program. • Allyson Rogan-Klyve, Assistant Professor of Science and Mathematics Education • Darin Knapp, Associate Director for CWU Des Moines and Clinical Faculty in Science and Mathematics Education.
• Matthew Changer, CWU Teach STEM and Geology • Tiffany “Casey” Casey, CWU Teach STEM (Des Moines) • Yaheely Ruiz, CWU Teach STEM and Biology
CULTURE OF INCLUSION Dr. Cleary lead the group in a discussion about new initiatives to help student and employees to feel included and welcomed, and to promote and support diversity and equity in everything we do. Sigrid Davison and John Vasquez joined Dr. Cleary to present on the Equity Score Card, both a process and a data tool. It combines a theoretical framework with practical strategies to initiate institutional change
3 Board of Trustees Minutes October 21 and 22, 2021
that will lead to equitable outcomes for students of color. It is a change process to solve the problem of inequitable educational outcomes and it is based on research and interdisciplinary scholarship. CWU will use the Equity Score Card to assess and make meaning of disaggregated, identify structural barriers to student success and implement best practices in removing those barriers. The implementation of the Equity Scorecard will inform the expansion of the objectives and outcomes identified in Theme II of the university Strategic Plan. This will be followed by college diversity strategic plans and an equity audit. Finally, throughout the 2021-2022 academic year we will use the Scorecard to assess our progress and develop recommendations by which to increase equity for students and employees of color. EXECUTIVE SESSION The board convened in executive session at 3:35 p.m. for one hour for the purpose of reviewing the performance of a public employee, per RCW 42.30.110(1)(g). Executive session ended at 4:02 p.m. October 22, 2021 BOARD RETREAT Trustees and the Executive Leadership Team participated in a retreat discussion centered on George Keller’s book Transforming a College at Hotel Windrow from 8:30-10:30 a.m. BUSINESS MEETING Vice Chair Conner convened the business meeting at 10:45 a.m. Trustees Present Robert Nellams, Chair (via Zoom) Ray Conner, Vice Chair Erin Black

From: David Utting <david@davidutting.com> Sent: Friday, December 31, 2021, 11:26 PM To: Linda Schactler Subject: For the attention of the board of trustees Dear Linda Secretary to the board of trustees
Can you please draw the board’s attention to the letter below that I have submitted to your local newspaper for publication? I think the contribution made by Nick Zentner is so outstanding that he should be considered for the awarding of a PhD through an alternative pathway other than research. I live in Western Australia which is often confused with Washington due to our WA abbreviation, but make no mistake Nick’s contribution has reverberated around the world. Please see below a letter I have written to the local newspaper and I look forward to learning a lot more about Ellensburg and the state of Washington and the Pacific Northwest through Nick’s tireless work.
From: David Utting <david@davidutting.com> Date: 1 January 2022 at 3:09:46 pm AWST To: letters@kvnews.com Subject: Letter to the editor Dear Editor,
I know so much about Ellensburg and in particular its geology through my viewing and listening to Professor Nick Zentner’s prolific viewings on YouTube and various audio podcasts.
His services to education and community engagement stands out as a truly outstanding achievement.
Some academics make their careers through research and others through education and teaching.
Could I humbly suggest that the University of Central Washington award a PhD To Nick in recognition of his hard and smart work which has really identified Ellensburg as a true centre of community care and academic excellence. This has a very serious side with people understanding more about earthquakes and vulcanism - This is not ivory tower academe but a very practical and useful contribution by Nick and the University of Central Washington.
I live in Western Australia and look forward to visiting your state once Covid subsides.
Cheers,

Central Washington University Board of Trustees February 17, 2022 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY – FY22 Budget Presentation
Over the past several years there has been a significant amount of time and effort discussing budgets and financial outcomes across campus and to a lesser extent with the Board of Trustees. Despite the emphasis on budget and finance across campus, largely due to the implementation of the RCM/ABB budget model, we collectively lack comprehension or “sense making” of budget and financial issues. Business and Financial Affairs staff have re-designed our approach to the presentation of budget and financial concepts to better match the desire for more consumable information to non-financial users.

CENTRAL WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY Board of Trustees February 17, 2022 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY – High Impact Practices in the Supply Chain Management Program Once an obscure term, “supply chain” now appears daily in news stories and discussions ranging from shortages in grocery staples to impacts on global trade and financial markets. The references are so frequent that “supply chain” holds the number ten spot on the 2022 Banished Words List compiled by Lake Superior University. At CWU, Supply Chain Management as a business concentration emerged in the early 2000s. The program benefits from a tradition of collaboration between the professional community and academic institutions. These relationships provide opportunities to innovate in the areas of program development and delivery. Today, students from CWU’s team “No Chain, No Gain!” will share their experience and success in a regional supply chain case competition hosted by the Boeing company. The team members will share their backgrounds, discuss the competition experience and their success, and what lies ahead for them. We will then highlight other high impact practices we employ to prepare CWU graduates for their future careers and help them develop and maintain important industry and peer connections.
The presentation to the board will involve the following students: • Eli Washburn
• Felicia Johnson • Lindsay Smith • Makinzie Packwood • Wendell Jopson
In addition to the students, the following faculty also will participate in the presentation to the board: • Carlo Smith, Chair, Department of Finance and Supply Chain Management • Rob Ogburn, Lecturer, Department of Finance and Supply Chain Management and Boeing Case Competition Team Facilitator

CWU UNIVERSITY CENTERS AND INSTRUCTIONAL SITES Strategic Values and Assets, Challenges and Opportunities
February 9, 2022
Executive Summary Since 1974, CWU has launched several satellite service locations in order to meet regional needs for baccalaureate education. Once reliant on Interactive television and face-to-face program delivery, CWU University Centers and instructional sites now serve students through Web-Ex, some face-to-face instruction, and programs that use a hybrid model of delivery—both face-to-face and virtual. Over the same period of time and for the same reason—to provide baccalaureate opportunity to time- and place-bound students--the state has • created six, urban-area branch campuses associated with the state’s research institutions; branch campuses offer full bachelor’s and master’s degrees programs; • authorized community colleges to offer baccalaureate degrees and Bachelor of Applied Science degrees; • authorized dozens of out-of-state institutions to offer degrees in Washington; and • launched Western Governors University-Washington, offering competency-based degree programs. In summer 2021, the Board of Trustees asked for an analysis of satellite campuses in order to inform long-term planning. In response, staff undertook an analysis of the impact of the operation of University Centers and instructional sites on the state tuition fund, Fund 149. The analysis does not consider general overhead costs for accounting and payroll and other services. Nor does it consider costs and revenue associated with fees students pay at satellite locations for the general use of student programs (Services & Activities Fee, Technology Fee, etc.). Key Findings Overall, tuition (Fund 149) generated exceed Fund 149 expenditures at University Centers/sites by $500,677. Increasingly the University Centers have been pinched by competition from neighboring branch campuses, online programs and community colleges. Because program offerings are controlled by individual academic colleges—which, generally are not specifically funded for satellite programming—University Centers/sites lack a cohesive strategy for responding to program demand and a corresponding strategy and budget for marketing. University Centers are, however, instrumental in generating transfer enrollment , currently accounting for 23% of CWU’s 10,006 undergraduate students. In AY20-21 total fall transfers were 3,985, of which 2,310 came from partner community colleges or 58% of all transfer students. About 40% of CWU’s undergraduates are transfer students. The overall tuition contribution for host college transfer students has been approximately $14 million each year. This includes students transferring to the CWU Ellensburg campus, University Centers, instructional sites, and online. For fall 2021, CWU’s six University Centers were top Washington sources of transfer students:

Facilities are modern and in desirable locations. CWU has led the work to secure state funding for University Centers in partnership with host colleges. As well, CWU has used bond funds to improve facilities at Lynnwood and 148 (self-support) funding to lease facilities at Sammamish. The higher education centers at the colleges all are excellent facilities. And the shift to Web-Ex from ITV has improved the virtual experience for students. CWU has the opportunity to leverage the significant state and CWU investment in University Centers/sites by: • optimizing class size for face-to-face classes • creating a strategic plan that includes budget and operations structures that support local decision-making and marketing for program offerings • Creating and funding a marketing plan to support University Center goals.
Please see detailed recommendations on page 21.

BACKGROUND CWU provides upper-division academic programs and certificates at University Centers co-located with community colleges in six locations. CWU also operates instructional sites at Sammamish and at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM). CWU-Sammamish is providing Running Start (high school) courses as well as degree completion courses. CWU JBLM is providing certificates and courses in Supply Chain Management. University Centers were launched in the 1970s in response to the demand of time- and place-bound individuals for degree programs. Once sited in store fronts, high schools, and prefabricated buildings, the University Centers now are located in state of the-art buildings on community college campuses. Funding requests for the facilities were made through the CWU capital budget process, including a 20- year certificate of participation at Lynnwood CWU continues to retire at the rate of $360,000 per year. University Center buildings are “owned” and maintained by community colleges, which receive state funding for operating costs. The use of all classrooms is shared by CWU and the host community college. CWU leases the Sammamish site. Initially, programs at University Centers were offered face-to-face and through once state-of-the-art distance-education technology—Interactive TV. CWU slowly migrated away from this old, relatively costly technology and since 2017 has provided distance education solely through WebEx. The Dean of Extended & Global Education oversees University Centers/sites, as well as continuing education, international studies and programs, multimodal learning, and high school partnerships program; the Executive Director of Extended Learning manages operations and staff at University Centers/sites. CWU employs one site director at each western Washington location—Des Moines, Pierce, and Lynnwood/Sammamish (one position for both locations). Two directors coordinate the activities of the three eastern Washington campuses. The directors manage the activities of the facilities to which they are assigned. As well they are charged with developing strong ties to the community colleges where they are co-located and with building networks within their communities to understand local economic opportunities and challenges. Academic colleges decide which degree programs they will offer or eliminate at a University Center/site. The college pays instructional costs for program delivery. Payments for online connectivity through the state K-20 network come from the CWU Division of Operations; WebEx licensing is funded by a mandatory fee paid by all students and managed by the CWU Multimodal Education Center. University Center student populations are very diverse. Table 1. provides the demographic profile of students at University Centers.

University Center and Instructional Site Timeline
CWU Pierce County (1974) : CWU’s first University Center partnership was with Pierce College, which operates two campuses: one in Puyallup and one in Fort Steilacoom. CWU launched programs at Fort Steilacoom in 1974 with a focus on teacher preparation programs. In 2005, CWU requested state capital funding to move CWU programs out of the portable units and into a new facility, “Olympic Building.” Pierce is CWU’s third largest University Center and second highest transfer sending institution. Education, Social Sciences, and Law and Justice were the primary program offerings; the BAS Information Technology and Administrative Management (ITAM) and BS Interdisciplinary Studies (IDS) were later added in an FTE-sharing agreement with Pierce College in 2006, which continues today: the state pays Pierce College for FTE targets in ITAM, IDS and Social Services, then a portion of the FTE dollars are paid to CWU based on CWU-Pierce County hitting enrollment targets. CWU-Lynnwood (1975): The Lynnwood campus was established in 1975 with a focus on business, accounting, law and justice, and education. In 2001, CWU received a state capital appropriation of $5.875 million for the construction of Snoqualmie Hall on the campus of Edmonds Community College. In August 2002, CWU entered a 20-year lease/purchase agreement for $5.145 million with the Office of the State Treasurer to pay for a portion of an instructional building at Edmonds Community College to house the CWU-Lynnwood Center. Average annual payments are $384,000 to be paid from tuition revenues for 20 years. Under the terms of the project contract, Edmonds Community College receives ownership of the building and Central Washington University has a tenant right in perpetuity. In 2012 CWU secured $3,345 million in bond funds to refinance the original debt and continues to pay $360,000 per year in bond payments. This debt will be retired June 1, 2023. The education program moved from Lynnwood to Des Moines in 2013 due to low enrollment. CWU also has a shared FTE agreement with Edmonds Community College for students in ITAM.
4
CWU-Yakima (1980): The third University Center was established in 1980 with a focus on the Yakima Valley’s need for more teachers. Programs expanded to Law and Justice, IDS, minors in psychology and sociology. Courses were offered toward a degree in General Business and Accounting. In 1989, the legislature created WSU and UW branch campuses and directed in RCW 28B.45.060 that “Central Washington University is responsible for providing upper-division and graduate-level higher education programs to the citizens of the Yakima area.” In 2003 CWU and Yakima Valley College (YVC) partnered to secure $18 million in state funds to construct a state-of-the-art education center. In 2011, the College of Business reduced courses offered at Yakima, Wenatchee and Moses Lake to core courses only. The BS Law and Justice withdrew to online only in 2014. Currently the only programs offered at Yakima are elementary education and a BS in IDS. CWU-Yakima is now the fourth largest University Center. CWU-Des Moines (1981): CWU-Des Moines started at SeaTac in a vacant high school in 1981 expanding CWU’s reach to meet teacher training demands and business and industry needs. In 2001, CWU received $2.5M to design and, in 2003 $8 million to construct the current University Center at CWU-Des Moines on the Highline College campus. Degree Programs offered at CWU-Des Moines include General Business, Accounting, Supply Chain Management, Elementary Education, Law and Justice, IDS, ITAM, STEM teacher education, Hospitality and Computer Science . Certificate Programs offered (online) include Sport Business and Supply Chain Management. CWU-Wenatchee (1984): CWU developed this partnership to meet the demand for more teachers in north central Washington. Originally located just off the Wenatchee Valley College campus, CWU received $3 million to design and construct a facility on the WVC campus and moved there in 2004. Programs expanded based on the demographics in Wenatchee to the BS Interdisciplinary Studies-Social Sciences (IDS), and minors in psychology and sociology, as well as courses in General Business and Accounting. In 2011, the College of Business reduced courses offered at Yakima, Wenatchee and Moses Lake to core courses only. Law and Justice moved its BS program to online only in 2014. Currently the only programs offered at CWU-Wenatchee are elementary education and IDS. CWU-Moses Lake (1991): The partnership with Big Bend Community College (BBCC) has largely centered on degree programs in aviation management and professional pilot training. In the 2003-05 state capital budget, CWU received $600,000 in state funding to improve the Moses Lake facility at BBCC. CWU and Big Bend Community College (BCCC) shared a faculty position in aviation until Big Bend ended the agreement in 2015. CWU has offered elementary education (combined cohort with Wenatchee), IDS, ITAM and courses in business and accounting. CWU has struggled to secure strong enrollment at Big Bend due to the workforce-education focus of the community college. Aviation and professional pilot training were the exception. These programs have been moved to Ellensburg or online. CWU currently offers IDS and Elementary Education. North Snohomish Island Skagit Higher Education Center (1997-2016): In 1997 the state legislature formed the North Snohomish-Island-Skagit (NSIS) Consortium of higher education institutions in Everett to create a flexible and innovative means for expanding higher education opportunities for residents of the three counties. The NSIS Consortium was committed to providing opportunities for place-bound residents whose work and family commitments precluded travel to a residential campus. In 2005, the legislature named consortium member Everett Community College as manager of the University Center. CWU ended service at this location when the legislature turned over its management to Washington State University in 2016.
5
Joint Base Lewis-McChord (2015): CWU is one of seven institutions authorized to offer programs at JBLM, the largest military installation on the West Coast. CWU signed an MOU with JBLM to share a space with City University in the Stone Education Center in 2015. Per the requirements of our accrediting agency, JBLM is classified as an instructional site. CWU has one staff person at this location reporting to the Regional Director at CWU-Pierce County. All support services are provided at CWU- Pierce County; all students are assigned to CWU-Pierce County for advising, student services, and administrative needs. Currently the only program offered at JBLM is Supply Chain Management, which offered its first class on base in fall 2017. Sammamish (2017): In 2017, CWU signed an MOU with the City of Sammamish for the lease of a property that had served as a large church for many years. The lease requires a flat-rate payment for three years, escalating in each of the following years by $60,000 annually. There is an option to purchase the property at any time at a guaranteed rate of $9 million, escalating annually by the Seattle-area CPI.

University Center/site Enrollment, Staffing, and Financial Information The following section of this report outlines enrollment for each University Center. It also includes the overall transfer-student enrollment impact of co-located community college partnerships. Each chart includes staffing, program offerings, and financial information. For Academic Years (AY) 2019-20 and 2020-21, some or all of community college education was required to occur online, due to COVID restrictions. The revenues include overall averaged academic-year net tuition and state support allocations for administrative costs. Expenses outline averaged faculty, total-year administrative staff, applicable lease/bond costs, and total-year indirect staffing costs. “Indirect” staff numbers represent state/tuition funded positions who provide support for University Centers. Programs are listed with the number of courses taught on-site for each location. Faculty numbers listed in each chart do not teach only for that specific location. Most departments/colleges utilize their faculty at University Centers to teach courses for Ellensburg and online programs in addition to courses delivered at the center. Table 2.
