MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF THE
BOARD OF VISITORS OF
VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY
November 17, 2005
A regular meeting of the Board of Visitors of Virginia Commonwealth University
was held on Thursday, November 1 7, 2005, at 9 a.m. in the Richmond Salons 1 and 2
located in the University Student Commons at 907 Floyd Avenue.
Present were Drs. Bersoff (Rector), Doswell, Romano and Shapiro; Messrs.
Axselle, Baldacci, Jackson, Robertson, Rosenthal, Sherman, Siegel and Snead; and
Mesdames Lambert and Rhodes. Dr. Broaddus and Mr. Thompson were absent. Also
present were Drs. Trani, Brodd, Gottfredson, Hampton, Huff, Lewis, Macrina, Ream,
Retchin and Rhone; Messrs. Bunce, Gehring, Jez, Messplay, Ohlinger, Ross, Smith and
Wyeth; and Mesdames Atkinson, Balmer, Chinnici, Lepley, Messner and Mikuta. The
faculty representative, Dr. Lewis, and Ms. Ashley Bacon-Ward, student representative,
and Mr. Bradford Allen, alternate student representative, were also present.
Dr. Bersoff called the meeting to order and welcomed members of the press. The
Report of the President was presented. The draft VCU 2020 Strategic Plan and an update
on Base Adequacy were presented for information. An enrollment report was also
presented for information.
Mr. Rosenthal reported for the Academic and Health Affairs Committee. The
Academic and Health Affairs Policy Committee met with members of the Faculty Senate
Executive Committee. Present were Drs. Kathryn Murphy-Judy, President, Dr. Dianne F.
Simons, Vice President, and Past President, Dr. Judith A. Lewis.
The VCU Center on Health Disparities was presented. The mission of the VCU
Center on Health Disparities is to develop and facilitate research, education, access t
health care services and workforce diversity initiatives that will eliminate health
disparities in populations in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Center will positively
impact communities across the Commonwealth through the development of programs
that are focused on the needs of those served. The programs will serve as a catalyst for
change in health policy and public policy in Virginia. The Academic and Health Affairs
Policy Committee recommended to the full Board the approval of the VCU Center on
Health Disparities.
The proposal to rename M.Ed. Degree in Adult Education and Human Resource
Development to M.Ed. Degree in Adult Learning was presented. The School of
Education proposed to revise the name of the M.Ed. in Adult Education and Human
Resource Development to the M.Ed. in Adult Learning effective Fall 2006. Student and
faculty interests have centered on the adult learning portion of the curriculum rather than
the human resource development portion of the curriculum. Reflecting current trends in
education, the faculty recommended that the program name reflect the focus of the
program on adult learning. The Academic and Health Affairs Policy Committee
recommended to the full Board the approval of the proposal to rename the M.Ed. Degree
in Adult Education and Human Resource Development to the M.Ed. Degree in Adult
Learning.
The proposal to create a B.A. Degree Program in Theatre was presented. The
Department of Theatre in the School of the Arts proposed to add a Bachelor of Arts
degree to the existing Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Theatre. The current B.F.A.
degree, although highly regarded, is specifically designed as professional training for
work in the theatre, and does not offer students the opportunity to gain the type of
2
broader liberal arts education that would help students obtain and keep employment in
fields other than theatre. In addition, theatre as a field of employment is becoming more
competitive by the year. Creating a broader liberal-arts-based option allows a greater
range of potential employment options for current and future students. The proposal is
based on current needs as described by employers, students and parents, and on the
prediction that the needs may continue to expand in the future. The proposed B.A.
degree program in Theatre will be a 120-credit program that, during the first two years of
the program, has the same curriculum as the B.F.A. degree program in Theatre. Students
wanting a broader theatre education may select the B.A. program in Theatre either early
in the program or at the end of the second year. The curriculum for the B.A. program
includes a variety of humanities and social sciences requirements in place of upper-
division theatre courses. The Academic and Health Affairs Policy Committee
recommended to the full Board the approval of the proposal to Create a B.A. Degree
Program in Theatre.
The proposal to create a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Public Safety was
presented. The Public Safety curriculum was created in response to a request made by
local, state and federal law enforcement agencies in the Richmond Metropolitan Area to
create a self-contained leadership and management program for mid-level career public
safety officers. Public safety officials include fire/EMS, local and state law enforcement
officers, private policing, correctional officers, and campus police. The goal of the
certificate program is to prepare the mid-level career public safety officers to advance
within (or outside) the organization into supervisory positions. The curriculum focuses
on the skills necessary to advance through the ranks, moving up the chain of command,
3
to higher level supervisory or leadership positions. The Academic and Health Affairs
Policy Committee recommended to the full Board the approval of the proposal to create a
Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Public Safety.
The Proposal to Create a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Instructional
Technology was presented. The primary purpose of the proposed Post-Baccalaureate
Certificate in Instructional Technology is to meet the growing need for highly qualified
core-curriculum teachers, lead-technology teachers, and associated administrative
personnel. Currently many educators have limited professional development in the
effective integration and use of technology to support student learning. On September
27, 2005, the Graduate Council approved the initiation of the program. The Academic
and Health Affairs Policy Committee recommended to the full Board the approval of the
proposal to Create a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Instructional Technology.
The proposal to Discontinue the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Library Media
Specialist was presented. The School of Education proposes deleting the Post-
Baccalaureate Certificate program in Library/Media Specialist, primarily because the
certificate has not been productive over the past five years. Over that period, there have
been only 1 S program graduates, an average of fewer than four per year. The program
was reviewed by the faculty in the Department of Teaching and Learning in Fall, 2004,
and admissions were suspended to the program at that time pending outcome of the
review. As a result of the review, the faculty voted to close the program and reallocate
the resources. The School of Education will continue to offer sufficient courses so that
currently enrolled students may earn the appropriate certificate. The Academic and
4
Health Affairs Policy Committee recommended to the full Board the approval of the
proposal to discontinue the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Library Media Specialist.
The Proposal to Discontinue the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Human
Resource Development was presented. The School of Education proposed deleting the
Post-Baccalaureate Certificate program in Human Resource Development, primarily
because the program has not been productive over the past five years. Over that period
there have been only 12 program graduates, an average of just over 2 per year. Admission
to the certificate program was suspended in Fall, 2004, pending program review by the
faculty. As a result of the review, the faculty opted to revise and rename the existing
M.Ed. in Adult Education and Human Resources Development to focus on adult learning.
and to close the certificate program. Currently, no students arc enrolled in the certificate
program. The Academic and Health Affairs Policy Committee recommended to the full
Board the approval of the proposal to discontinue the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate
Program in Human Resource Development.
The following items were presented for information: Report of the Vice President
for Research; a Report on the School of Business; Virginia Commonwealth University
Health System Financial Statement Summary Fiscal Year 201)6 --Three Months Ending
September 30, 2005; and the Report of the Provost and Vice President for Academic
Affairs.
Dr. Doswell reported for the Audit Committee. The proposed Audit Workplan for
2006 was presented. The audit plan is supported by two key planning documents: 1) the
Summary of Critical Issues and Risk Management Considerations and 2) the Four-Year
Core Audit Plan for Risk-Based Audits. In addition to the risk-based audits, the 2006
5
Plan includes time for annual projects requested by the Audit Committee and senior
management as well as time for special projects. The Four-Year Core Plan has been
expanded to provide more comprehensive audit coverage in the Research area. The
Audit Committee recommended to the full Board the approval of the proposed Audit
Workplan for 2006.
Mr. Robertson reported for the External Relations Committee. The following items
were presented for information: the Government Relations and Health Policy Report, the
Marketing and Media Relations Report and the Advancement Division Reports.
Mrs. Rhodes reported for the Finance, Investment and Property Committee. The
