Motion 18-33: Mr. Liu moved to amend the motion that the Board of Trustees of Central Washington University applauds the concept of a strategic enrollment plan that supports the CWU Strategic Plan and that includes recruitment and retention of undergrad and graduate students attending programs at CWU’s Ellensburg Campus and learning Centers and who participate in online programs. The Board agrees that input to the plan be sought through broad campus conversations and that a complete draft be developed during the coming academic year. Mr. Nellams seconded the motion. Motion passed. Action – Approval of New Degree Program, Master of Science Safety and Health Management The Master of Science in Safety and Health Management (MS-SHM) degree program provides a two- year professional learning experience (45 credits) for post-baccalaureate students with at least four years of full-time experience in the safety and health management field. Students in this program can continue working full-time while taking two online courses per quarter. Based on a feasibility study that included a review of 113 related programs across the United States and a survey of CWU alumni from the Bachelor of Science in Safety and Health Management program, program employers, and safety professionals in the Pacific Northwest, it is anticipated this fully online degree program will be in high demand by busy, career-driven safety professionals Motion 18-34: Mr. Conner moved that the Board of Trustees of Central Washington University endorses the recommendation of the Faculty Senate and approves the Master of Science Safety and Health Management, this day July 27, 2018, which was seconded by Mr. Nellams. Motion Approved. Action – Approval of Conversion of Professional Education Program to Secondary Education Major The Secondary Education major is designed to prepare candidates for Washington State Teacher Certification, focusing on general pedagogy, while complementing candidates’ Teaching Endorsement Area majors (for example, math, science, music). The Secondary Education major replaces the current teacher Professional Education Program (PEP) with a second major, reduces overall credits toward teacher certification, and provides an opportunity for students to earn six (6) credits of General Education as part of the major. The Faculty Senate approved the Secondary Education major on May 30, 2018 (Motion No. 17-67). Motion 18-35: Mr. Liu moved that the Board of Trustees of Central Washington University endorses the recommendation of the Faculty Senate and approves the Secondary Education major, this day July 27, 2018, which was seconded by Mr. Nellams. Motion Approved. Action – Approval of CWU Strategic Plan Core Theme Five Update In July 2017, the trustees approved an update of Core Themes One, Two, Three, and Four of the CWU Strategic Plan. In November 2017 and May 2018, the trustees approved updates of Core Theme Five. In June 2018 discussions with the Vice President of Business and Financial Affairs and the Interim Vice President of Operations, it was determined that additional updates to Core Theme Five were needed. Outcome 5.3.4 was added to Core Theme Five in November 2017 and is no longer an issue. Indicators 5.4.2.6 and 5.4.2.9 were also added to Core Theme Five in November 2017 and, upon further consideration, are not appropriate indicators of Outcome 5.4.2. The Faculty Senate approved this new degree program on May 30, 2018 (Motion No. 17-69).
