Renewal of Charter for the Developmental Disabilities Institute (Academic Affairs)

The charter for the Developmental Disabilities Institute was approved in June, 1988 and

last renewed on July 30, 2003 ... In its most recent review, the Center and Institute Advisory

Committee (CIAC) noted thatthe Institute was entirely self-funded through external grants from

various government and private agencies, and was well regarded and active both in the

University and outside community. The Committee recommended that the Institute enhance its

general research portfolio and establish a greater presence within the University by encouraging

additional faculty and graduate student participation.

ACTION - Upon motion by Governor Dunaskiss and seconded by Governor Pollard, the Board of Governors renewed the charter for the Developmental Disabilities Institute for six years. No amendments to the charter are requested. The Academic Senate also recommends a six-year charter renewal. The motion was adopted unanimously.

Official Proceedings - November 22, 2013 3

Renewal of Charter for the Center for Urban Studies (Academic Affairs)

The Center for Urban Studies charter was first approved in 1967 and last renewed in

2004. Among the strengths noted by the CIAC was that the Center receives a high level of

external support for its research projects, and plays a key role in serving WSU's urban mission

by participating in several important initiatives in the City of Detroit. Among the Committee's

recommendations is that the Center develop a comprehensive strategic plan on how to engage

with the University and the surrounding community, so as to re-establish itself as the primary

locus of the conversation about the future of the city.

ACTION - Upon motion by Governor Dunaskiss and seconded by Governor Pollard, the Board of Governors renewed the charter for the Center for Urban Studies for six years. No amendments to the charter are requested. The Academic Senate also recommends a six-year charter renewal. .The motion was adopted unanimously.

FY 2015-2019 Five-Year Capital Outlay Plan (Budget and Finance)

Each year the University is required to submit a Five-Year Capital Outlay Plan to the

state along with its annual Capital OutlayProject Request. The administration requested Board

approval of the FY 2015 Five-Y~ar Plan, o~e very similar to the FY 2014 Plan with the new

Science and Engineering Laboratory Classroom Building (SELC) as the University's number

one priority. A project request for the SELC building was also submitted in the amount of $15

million. It will be constructed near the existing Physics Building and will include 30 separate

teaching laboratories and support facilities for various academic STEM programs. A separate

project is planned in the near future to renovate existing labs in Shapero Hall, the Physics

Building, and the Engineering Building at an additional cost of $8 million.

ACTION - Upon motion by Governor Dunaskiss and seconded by Governor Pollard, the Board of Governors approved the FY 2015-2019 Five-Year Capital Outlay Plan as presented. The motion was adopted unanimously.

Chatsworth Apartments Life Safety, Technology, and Mechanical Systems Upgrades

Budget Amendment (Budget and Finance)

At the June 2013 meetings, the Board approved upgrades to the Chatsworth Tower

Apartments life safety, technology, and mechanical systems for a project cost of not to exceed

$1,850,000. After the project was bid, it was determined that the amount was insufficient to


cover the scope of the project. The administration is requesting an additional $450,000, funds

that would come primarily from FY 2014 housing operating budget.

ACTION - Upon motion by Governor Dunaskiss and seconded by Governor Pollard, the Board of Governors increased the previously authorized budget for the Chatsworth Apartments Life Safety, Technology, and Mechanical Systems Upgrades project by $450,000. Funding for this budget increase will be provided from the Housing Auxiliary FY 2014 Operating Budget ($375,000) and the Reserve for Non-general Fund Equipment and Facilities ($75,000). The balance in this reserve is $4. 7 million at September 30, 2013. The motion was adopted unanimously.

Student Center Building Renovation (Budget and Finance) ...

At the February 2013 meetings, the Board approved $1.3 million to complete design

work for major renovations to the Student Center Building. The current plan is to renovate over

95,000 square feet of the basement through the third floor, and to add about 12,000 square feet

to the interior of the first floor by enclosing the colonnaded overhang on thE3 Gullen Mall side of

the building. The total cost of the projecUs estimated at$26.5 million. Abou{$19 million will be

covered by the FY 2013 bond issue completed in May 2013, and the $1.3 million previously

approved for design work. The remaining $6.2 million will bera.ised through fundraising. The

renovation will create new and dynamic spaces to improve the campus image and experience

and to enhance student recruitment, success, and retention.·

ACTION - Upon motion by Governor Du.naskiss and seconded by Governor Poll~rd, the Board of Governors authorized the President, or his designee, to award contracts to renovate the basement through third floors of the Student Center Building for a project cost not to exceed $26,500,000. Funding sources include $19 million from Series 2013 general revenue bond proceeds that were authorized for this purpose; $6;200,000 from philanthropy; and $1,300,000 authorized previously for design work. The motion was adopted unanimously.

Electrical Service Reliability Upgrade Projects (Budget and Finance)

During the past decade the University has experienced several electrical power outages

due primarily with electrical reliability issues with the Detroit Public Lighting Department (PLD)

and Detroit Edison (DTE). As a result, the campus has had to shut down twice during the last

few years, and there have been significant losses of research samples and research

productivity. The administration submitted a proposed project that would help mitigate the

effects of any power outages, surges, or brownouts from either electrical utility.

The project would include back-up power generators for research buildings; the

identification of over 1,000 pieces of equipment used in research to be fitted with uninterruptible


power supplies; time-delay restart devices for freezers to prevent damage to the compressors;

and upgrades to the electrical service entrances to the Computing Service Center, the

University Service Building, and the athletic complex. Funds totaling $13.5 million have been

identified from three sources. Although the funds are insufficient to cover the cost of all the

projects listed in the documentation, the administration will prioritize and begin construction so

that the most critical risks will be addressed.

ACTION - Upon motion by Governor Dunaskiss and seconded by Governor Pollard, the Board of Governors authorized the President, or his designee, to award contracts to design and construct various .Electrical Service Reliability Upgrade Projects for a project cost not to. exceed $13,500,000. Funding for these projects will be provided from three sources; $1..500,000 from the series 2013 General Revenue bond proceeds previously approved for this purpose; $1,000,000 from the research facility reserv~; and $11,000,000 from the Reserve for Non-Recurring Projects. The Reserve balances are $3.7 million and $11.9 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2013. The motion was adopted unanimously. ·

PRESIDENT'S REPORT

President Wilson highlighted several events and developments at the University.

• On November 15, the University held a\ series of events to coincide with World Prematurity

Day and in recognition of the second ten...,year NIH contract awarded to WSU to continue

hosting the Perinatology Res~arch Branch (RRB). The director of the National Institute of

Child H.ealth and Human Development (NIHCD, Dr. Alan Guttmacher, toured the PRB and

delivered the Distinguished President's Lech.ire before a packed crowd at the School of

Medicine. He was impressed with the breadth and quality of research conducted at the PRB

and acknowledged that it was the kind that could not be done at the NIH because of the

patient population, WSU had\considerable competition for the contract, but the outstanding

research and patient care provided by researchers and physicians at the PRB made it a

winning choice for the NIH. Or. Guttmacher mentioned that he had wanted to visit Detroit and

WSU earlier but could not because of the ongoing competition. President Wilson thanked

Governors Dingell, Driker, and Pollard who attended the events; he also thanked Dean Parisi,

Dr. Sonya Hassan, and their team at the School of Medicine, as well as Julie Miller, Secretary

to the Board of Governors, for their work in preparing for the event.

• The University hosted the 42nd annual Charter Night on November 16 at the Henry Ford in

Dearborn to recognize 321 new and upgraded members of the Anthony Wayne Society in

giving levels of $10,000 to $9,999,999. The society now totals 5,742 members. Events of this


sort generally have a television or radio personality as the MC. President Wilson said that in

this case the MC was a student and the entertainment was provided by students, all of whom

were excellent gave a different - and better - dimension to the event. This was the first

Charter Night for President Wilson and his wife, Jacqueline, and they look forward to many

more to come.

• The Office of Education Outreach and the College of Nursing have partnered to create a new

Bachelor of Science in Nursing program for graduates of the Oakland Community College

Nursing program, to begin in January, 2014 at the WSU. Oakland Center in Farmington Hills.

a field that is short-staffed nationwide and will become more short-staffed with the

implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

• WSU has been selected to participate in a nationwide program to help strengthen the college

completion rates among Latino students. The'·program is a collaboration between the

National Survey of Student Engagement and the Center of Community College Engagement

and is limited to 22 institutions from urban centers in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and

Michigan. WSU will partner with Macomb County Community College to help the community

college and university sectors understand the assets and. challenges Latino students bring

with them to higher education.

• President Wilson gave the keynote add.ress r;1t an event sponsored by the Office of

International Programs. Some of the goals for the near future include increasing the number

of international students by 10% in WSU's general student body, reinventing the co-major ·".. ·.\

international studies, doubling the number of students who participate in international

programs, and increasing suppprt for faculty to participate in international reports and teaching

initiatives. WSU's OffiGe of International Programs has forged strong relationships with more

than 180 institutions overseas, and also offers important services to WSU's international

student population.

• President Wilson said he spoke earlier this month with the staff in Admissions and in Financial

Aid about the important role they play in recruitment and in providing services to students. He

said they are a very committed group of employees, and described the starfish paperweight

they presented to him, which referred to a story he told in his University address about the

importance of the University doing the best it can for every single student.
