REPORT FROM THE CHANCELLOR(The following are excerpts oft/it.?

rej a ce to the address given byC S. Nicks to tehancellor Roy hBoard of Regents at their lastregular session of the 1975-76fiscal .vear)

-I would like to highlight someof the major themes and eyents ofthis 1975-76 fiscal year as Iperceive them. I feel this has beena sign1/4cant year for the SystemIFi terms of the matters that havebeen dealt with and the actionsthat have been taken by theBoard. the Board staff and theinstitutions.

"This fiscal )7ear marks my firstfull year of service with theSystem. And this factor in itselfplaces me in a rather opportunepositiOn to assess the twelve-Mon.th period as a definite tinie-ft-aloe.

..Perhaps the best way to capturethe setting for this year is torestate the basic facts and to Saythat during this period, wea n d to make the Mostttespteefficient and effective uses possibleof all the resources we hadavailable, and that all of our .

resalrc"s financial student, andpersonnel were provided for tothe best of our abilities.

Oar enrollments for fall 1975reach ed new heights. Sixty-fivethousand, nine hundred and foiirFTE students throughout theSystem represented an increase of19.37,, over the enrollments of theprevimts fall. Of this total, au?

students, and the communitycolleges grew by 37.8%. Our totalheadcount enrollment of 84,014students in the fall, earned theSystem the ranking of 9th largestla the nation. This year. wegraduated approximately 12,000students.

"This has been an austere yearwith a great niany demandsplaced upon us. .Simply stated.our state appropriationsincreasedonly 4.0% over the previous.year's, while at the same time ourstudent enrollments increased12.3%. In addition, the factors ofsignificant increases in f- -dgeneral inflation, and lacking.state funding affected all of ourOperations. The impact of thesecircumstances can be epitomizedby the fact that our personnel hadto accept an average salaryincrease of 2.5% for the year. and

'that the threat of enrollmentlimitations loomed over many ofthe institutions and was in factimposed at Shelby State.

"Further, this has been a yearwhen a number of the practices ofOur System and of higher educationin general have been questioned-by students, faculties, the generalpublic, the Legislature, and byourselves.. The questioning hasrangedfri5m the open challengesto .our tenure policy to the moretempered study of our degreerequirements and institutions rolesand scopes. As a result, we havereassessed the basic assumptionsunderlying .many of these pract-

"Th., successfully meeting ourcommitments for the yeas; and incontinuing to fulfill our obligationsto provide quality education and'the expected serviccs, the Systemas a cohesive entity workedeffectively-by snaking hard-decis-ions, planning for stability andchange, and de yeloping stasidardsfor the future. As a result. I feelthat considerable gains have.beenmade and that viable contributionshave been made toward afirni andsolid foundation for our advance-ment in the next and followingyears.

"In the given setting and to theend of progress by building on andenhancing our available means.structure, and resources. theniaior events of this fiscal yearmay be capsulized into fourrelated, yet distinct themes:

1. Our role as a System wasfurther developed and asserted.During the year. the actions andresponsibilities of .our System, asa System, became more .definedand exercised. Internally, adesirable balance of priorities wasassumed in programs and projectfunding. Externally. our goal ofequity-with the other .system inthe sonic areas, and tvithin stategovernment as a whole-was pursuedand neared significantly.

2. Significant gains were madein internal management orientat-ion. The management of availableresources was and is of groatimportance. A number of Systemstudies, formulated to generatemanagement information, havebeen undertaken during theyear.A number ,Board- policies-

Page 11: Tennessee. - ERIC · 2014-02-03 · DOCUMENT RESUME. HE 008 697. The State Board of Regents 1975-76 Annual Report of the State University and Community College System of. Tennessee

adopted thlring this period reflecta keen interest in managenlent onthe appropriate level of responsib-ility. Also: a Management ByObjectives program has beenimplemented on the Board staffand many:- of the institutionaladministrative levels.

3. The Sys tenl's means ofresponsiveness was exercised andexp(lnded. This is apparent in two .

areas: a) the nature of the issuesthat have been addressed by theBoard has reflected many of theconcerns voiced by various Campusand non-campus' groups: and b)the lines of comtnunication withinthe Systenl have been broadenedas has the input to the Board'sconsiderations-by the creation ofsub-councils and placement ofstudents and faculty on the BoardCommittees. We have also seenan increasing in vOlvement :ofcampus groups in System con cernSas well as campus affairs. Taskforces and special committeeshave been formed to addressissues of System inlport.

4. Our working relationships-within the System and with outside'

agencies, bodieS, and the public-:were enhanced. During the year,we have enjoyed effective relation-ships internally as they pertain toshared assulnptions and expectat-ions. Our various roles-the Board's,the Board staffs, and the institut-ions'-in the operation of theSystem have complemented oneanother. Outside of the System,we have pursued and attainedviable relations with the otherstate agencies and the Legislature.

"The actions that this Board,my office, and the institutionshave taken during this yearsupport and reflect these fourthemes. This is evident upon areview of the significant events inthe nlajor areas of our Systenl'soperations. ...In a time .beset byfinancial constraints and reassess-ment of practices and priorities,these were and are vital objectives.

"...As we move forward into anew fiscal year, the accomplish-ments and events of the 1975-76fiscal year have set a firmfoundation for further progressand advancement''

Roy S. NicksJune 25, 1976

Page 12: Tennessee. - ERIC · 2014-02-03 · DOCUMENT RESUME. HE 008 697. The State Board of Regents 1975-76 Annual Report of the State University and Community College System of. Tennessee

...the System institutions con-ferred a record number of 11,883degrees during the 1975-76 fiscalyear.

InstructionEnrollment

Student enrollments within theSystem increased at a near pheno-menal rate in Fall 1975. Institutionsacross the board were met with re-cord numbers of students from allage and socio-economic groups. Inmany cases special arrangements inscheduling and programming wererequired to fully meet the needs anddemands of the 84,014 degree-creditstudents of the state universities andcommunity colleges. This number ofstudents earned recognition for theSystem as the nint! 'argest Systemin the country, acc Jing to an an-nual, national study. A composite ofenrollment statistics are shown inthis report in Tables 2 through 5of the Appendix.

Compared to Fall 1974, degree-credit student headcount enroll-ments increased by 12.9% in the totalSystemfrom 74,441 to 84,014. Theuniversities 59,509 students repre-sented a 6.2% increase over the pre-vious year, the community colleges'24,505 students presented a 33.1%increase over. 1974. As a result ofthese increases, 64.5% of all studentsattending the state-supported insti-tutions of Tennessee were enrolledin the System's member institutions.

By level, students in the Systemwere distributed as follows: 42% werefreshmen, 19% were sophomores,10% were juniors, 11% were seniors,9% were graduate and professionalstudents, and 9% came under thespecial-undergraduate and graduatecategory. It is noteworthy that almostexactly 50% of the total System fresh-man enrollments were at the com-

munity colleges. This is significantof the tremendous growth of thecommunity colleges in just ten yearsof operation in Tennessee.

Further significance is also seenin the total increase of freshmenfrom 1974 to 1975. The 35,361 stu-dents classified as freshmen in Fall1975 mark an increase of 7,788 or28% over the Fall 1974 freshmen.'Such growth at the initial level ofhigher education indicates a sub-stantial increase in interest for col-lege education with major implica-tions for future growth and develop-ment at the institutions.

Enrollment growth was also ex-perienced in Fall 1975, in terms ofFTE (full-time equated) students. Infact, the 12.3% System increase inthis measure of enrollments broughtthe total FTE to an unprecedentedhigh of 65,904. FTE is derived fromthe total number of student credithours generated and divided by whatis considered as a full-time studentwork load, 15 hours for an under-graduate and 12 hours for a graduatestudent. The FTE enrollments at theuniversities as a group increased by5.6% and totaled 49,027, the com-munity colleges increased by 37.8%to a total of 16,877. At two of theuniversities and eight of the commu-nity colleges, the increases in FTEwere greater than those in head-count. This is significant of morestudents taking more full work loadsthan in the past. It is reflective ofthe institutions' efforts in providinggreater access and flexibility incourse programming.

Out-of-state enrollments decreas-ed in the System in 1975-76, both inabsolute and relative numbers. InFall 1975, 6,209 students from otherstates and foreign countries were en-

rolled in the System. These students,representing primarily the neighbor-ing states, composed 7.4% of the totalnumber of students. The out-of-statestudents in Fall 1974 totaled 7,001or 9.4% of the total System head-count enrollment. This decrease of11% in out-of-state students revealsthe System's outstanding growth inFall 1975 to be largely a matter ofTennesseans attending their state-supported colleges and universities.

GraduatesTo a large degree, an institution's

productivity is measured by its num-ber of graduates. In this regard, theSystem institutions conferred a re-cord number of 11,883 degrees dur-ing the 1975-76 fiscal year. This totalrepresents students graduating fromthe entire realm of degree programsoffered within the System which en-compasses the associate, baccalau-reate, graduate, and professionalprograms at the universities, andthe certificate and associate pro-grams at the community colleges.This total marks an increase of 8.7%or 948 degrees over the 10,935 awar-ded during the previous year.

Demonstrated below are the 1974-75/1975-76 comparisons of degreesawarded by level and type of insti-tution.

Of particular significance in thesecomparisons are the substantial in-creases in the associate and graduatedegree program graduates. The evi-denced popularity of associate de-grees with students is due to thedesirability of a two-year programthat affords flexibility in terms ofqualification for many entry-leveljobs for continuation in a four-year degree program. Eighty-four

Many students are extending theirprograms past the traditional four-year period while holding jobs.

percent of the total associate degreeswere awarded by the communitycolleges. The continued trends ofgrowth in community college enroll-ments are in large part reflective ofstudents' and local employers de-mands for the associate level of train-ing and education.

The composite increase in grad-uates from post-baccalaureate pro-grams totaled 23.7% over the pre-vious year. This increase is indicativeof heightLned interest by studentsfor advanced expc.,.se and profes-sional training. Undergirding the in-crease were tightened job marketconditions and elevating requisitequalifications for advanced employ-ment opportunities.

The bachelors degree programsmaintained the largest level of grad-uates. In 1975-76, over five out ofevery ten students emerging from adegree program were working to-ward a bachelors degree. It shouldbe noted that the slight decrease1.8%) in bachelors degree graduates

is representative of the universities'efforts toward mainlining the pro-grams to reduce dual degree attain-

ment. Further, the stabilized levelof graduates can be partially attribut-ed to a growing proportion of part-time students. Thus, many studentsare extending their programs pastthe traditional four-year period whileholding jobs.

The distribution of discipline areasin which degrees were awarded dur-ing 1975-76 remained much the sameas previous years with significantcorrelations to employment oppor-tunities. A great majority of the asso-ciate degrees were earned in thetechnology-related fields, with healthservices and paramedical technologycontinuing as high yielding areas ofinterest. Eighty percent of all bache-lors degrees earned were Bachelorsof Science, with those of appliednaturesuch as business and manage-ment, the physical sciences, and thesocial sciencesgaining in emphasis.A large proportion of the graduatedegrees earned were in education-related fields.

A complete summary of degreesawarded by the institutions in 1975-76 is shown in Table 6 of the Appen-dix of this report.

FacultyA great deal of activity and action

took place during 1975-76 regardingfaculty at the System institutions.Affected by related actions in acade-mic program development and busi-ness and finance areas, faculty andtheir unique concerns were in them-selves the focus of attention in anumber of Board level considera-tions. New policies and major policyrevisions in the areas of tenure andfaculty development and compensa-tion programs marked the progressachieved by the System in facultyaffairs.

It is significant that this period ofvital activity in addressing facultyconcerns was the first year of facultymembership on the Standing Com-mittees of the Board of Regents.Implementing the Board's decisionof the previous year, eight facultymembers from among the institutionswere appointed to serve on the Com-mittees for the 1975-76 academicyear. This means of direct partici-pation by faculty proved to be ex-tremely beneficial in the considera-tion of Board matters.

During 1975-76, the institutionswere staffed by 2,516 full-time teach-ing faculty, 1,984 at the universitiesand 532 at the community colleges.These individuals represent the mosthighly credentialed faculty in theSystem's history: 1,246 or 50% holdearned doctorates, 154 or 6% havemasters degrees plus ninety hoursof course work, 204 or 8% have mas-ters degrees plus forty-five hours ofcourse work, and 912 or 36% holdmasters or other qualifying degrees/certificates. By type of institution,this same breakdown of faculty de-grees shows that: at the universities-

Page 14: Tennessee. - ERIC · 2014-02-03 · DOCUMENT RESUME. HE 008 697. The State Board of Regents 1975-76 Annual Report of the State University and Community College System of. Tennessee

The revised policy recognizes theindividual missions, traditions andneeds of the various institutionsin the System.

59% have doctorates, 6% have mas-ters plus 90, 8% have masters plus45, and 27% have masters and other;and at the community colleges-15%have doctorates, 5% have mastersplus 90, 10% have masters plus 45,and 70% have masters and other.

By rank, the composite Systemfaculty are 19% professors, 25% as-sociate professors, 37% assistantprofessors, and 19% instructors.Within the universities as a group,24% are professors, 29% are assoc-iate professors, 34% are assistantprofessors, and 13% are instructors.At the community colleges, 2% areprofessors, 12% are associate pro-fessors, 45% are assistant profes-sors, and 41% are instructors.

At the June 25,1976, Board meet-ing, 250 faculty promotions withinthe System for 1976-77 were approv-ed. These promotions, 153 for uni-versity faculty and 97 for communitycollege faculty, are not reflected inthe preceding profiles and the sum-maries shown in Table 7 of the Ap-pendix to this report.

Also at the June meeting. theBoard awarded tenure status to 194System faculty members. This repre-sents 139 university and 55 com-mUnity college faculty whose perfor-mances were recognized as outstand-ing and meritorious of tenure statusat their institutions.

Policy on Academic Free-dom, Responsiblity, andTenure

One of the more significant a-chievements of the year by the Sys-tem was the adoption of a compre-hensive Policy on Academic Free-dom, Responsibility, and Tenure.

Adopted by the Board at its Junemeeting, the policy represents theculmination of more than a year ofstudy and deliberation of the imme-diate and long-range needs of theSystem institutions for a revisedBoard policy concerning academictenure. The existing policy had beenfound to be inadequate in the extentand clarity of its provisions. Therevised policy was developedthrough a number of discussiondrafts which were disseminated forcomments by System administratorsand faculty and other interested per-sons and organizations. In addition,the revised policy was influenced byChapter 839 of the Public Acts of1976, the tenure legislation affectingthe State University and CommunityCollege System of Tennessee.

Briefly stated, the revised policyrecognizes the individual missions,traditions and needs of the variousinstitutions in the System, and pro-vides sufficient latitude for imple-mentation of the policy in the man-ner appropriate to each institution.Further, the policy emphasizes theprinciples of academic freedom andresponsibility as the foundations forall institutional policies and proce-dures concerning academic tenure.The actual provisions of the policyencompass: the definition of tenurestatus, minimum tenure eligibilityrequirements, the maximum proba-tionary period of tenure eligibility,general criteria for tenure recom-mendations, and the types of con-duct which may constitute adequatecause for the dismissal of a tenuredfaculty member. Procedural guide-lines for many of the provisions areincorporated in the statement.

The policy affords each institution

11

14

the prerogative and responsibility todevelop its own tenure policy withinthe minimum and maximum para-meters of the Board's standards.

Tenure and Promotion StudyDuring 1975-76, the System con-

ducted a study on faculty promotionand tenure patterns. Related to, yetseparate from the study that led tothe Board's policy on AcademicFreedom, Responsibility, and Ten-ure, this study was initiated byBoard directive in April, 1975. Thepurpose of the study was to discernthe possible effects on the institutionswhich may be realized as a result offaculty promotion and tenure trendsover a period of time. The basis ofthe study consisted of an analysis ofthe staffing plans of all System divi-sion/defertMerit chairpersons whichprojected percentages of faculty hav-ing tenure and achieving each rankto the year 2000.

The completed study, whichproved to be a major undertakinginvolving all key academic personnelin the System, was presented to theBoard at its June 25, 1976 meeting.The principle report finding was thatproper staff planning will hopefullypreclude the possibility of imposingtenure and rank quotas within thederwqments of the System institu-tions. The Board accepted the studyreport and suggested that it be up-dated on a periodic basis.

Grant-In-AidDuring 1975-76, nineteen facul-

ty at eight of the institutions. wereawarded Grant-In-Aid to pursue ad-vanced degrees. The tuition and liv-ing allowances granted to the ten

...The Board supports the positionthat faculty should be involved inpublic service and continuing ed-ucation activities sanctioned bytheir institutions.

During the 1975-76 fiscal year.nearly 200,000 volumes wereadded to the System's libraries.This represents an eigbt percentincrease which brings the totalnumber of volumes to over 2.5million.

university and nine community col-lege facultY totaled 582,289, rangingfrom $570 to 58.500 per individual.These allowances went to defray theexpenses of study periods rangingfrom two to twelve months. Thesuccess of these individuals in furtherdeveloping their credentials and pro-fessional skills strongly supports thegrant-in-aid program as a viablemeans of faculty and institutionaldevelopment.

The Board's policy on Grant-In-Aid was revised at the March 5. 1976,meeting. to further strengthen itsintent and utility. The specific provi-sion which was revised addresses theneed to set priorities for the awardingof grant-in-aid. As revised, the policynow states that the institutions' re-commendations for faculty grant-in-aid must be limited to faculty seekinga terminal degree, and priority consi-deration should be given to requestsfrom minority and female personnel,tenured faculty, and faculty of de-partments in which the institutiondesires further development.

Extra Compensation PolicyAt the March 5. 1976, meeting,

the Board adopted a policy on extracompensation for System facultywhich revised a former statementconcerning this area. In this revisedpolicy. the Board supports the posi-tion that faculty should be involvedin public service and continuing edu-cation activities sanctioned by theirinstitutions, and recognizes that whilemany of these activities may be con-ducted by the faculty as part of theirregular assignments, occasions arisewhere these activities are performedas extra assignments. The policy

addresses the general provisions foradditional compensation due whenthese activities are a matter of extraassignment.

In essence, the general provisionsof the new policy encompass theapplicable activies, personnel eligibi-lity, and maximum limits for extracompensation. The exclusion of sum-mer and intersession activities forconsideration as extra compensationand the maximum extra compensa-tion at twenty percent of the indivi-dual's regular academic year salaryas policy provisions signify theBoard's determined efforts to upgradethe compensation standards for Sys-tem faculty.

In separate action at the samemeeting, the Board also addressedits concern to upgrade the summerand intersession compensation provi-sions for faculty. Noting the pressingfiscal constraints at present, the Boardadopted a resolution authorizing thefuture development of a compensa-tion schedule for these additionalactivities which will be based on apercentage of the faculty member'sacademic year salary.

At the close of 1975-76, pro-gress was made toward fulfilling thecharge of this resolution. Board andcampus staffs had explored variousalternatives for the replacement ofthe current summer and intersessioncompensation schedule in which suchcompensation is determined solelyby rank.

Libraries

The libraries of the System institu-tions continued to grow in size andscope during 1975-76. Emphases weregiven to improving the holdings and

12

15

upgrading the resource services ren-dered. Such activities included therefinement and implementation ofsophisticated cataloging and refe-rence systems and the developmentof systematic control procedures.Further progress was made in theinter-library sharing programs whichafford each campus the benefits ofaccess to unique offerings of sisterinstitutions' libraries.

During the 1975-76 fiscal year,nearly 200,000 volumes were addedto the System libraries. This repre-sents an 8% increase which bringsthe total number of volumes to over2.5 million. The total holdings inmicrotext increased by 180,000 or10% over the year, bringing the totalnumber to over two million. A sum-mary of the holdings of System libra-ries, by institution, is included asTable 8 in the Appendix of this Re-port.

It is significant that relatively great-er growth took place in the commu-nity college libraries during the year.As a group, these libraries increasedsome 11% in volumes and 16% inmicrotext. This growth is in directrelation to the increases in studentenrollments and the continuing devel-opment at tile community colleges.

The libraries of the System assumewell over 700,000 square feet of space.Continued construction of library andlearning resource facilities during1975-76 reflect the ongoing need andconcern for providing students andfaculty with adequate library facilitieson all campuses. Two universitiesand two community colleges hadconstruction projects directly relatedto library facilities in various stagesof progress at the close of the fiscalyear: Memphis State had work com-

pleted on its Learning ResourcesCenter and was in the process ofdeveloping plans for library expan-sion; Tennessee State's new librarybuilding and Chattanooga StatesLearning Resources Center were inprocess of construction; and theStudent Services and Learning Re-sources Center at Walters State wasin the planning stage.

Academic ProgramDevelopment

In the areas of System activity thatmay be termed as academic programdevelopment, the prevailing emphas-es of 1975-76 were on reassessment,redesign, and priorities. Energies wereexpended more toward reworkingand revitalizing the existing degreeprograms and academic units to meetidentified needs of campus interests,than toward seeking totally new pro-grams and alternatives. Only wherenew programs were in extreme de-mand did such action take place.The changes in degree designations,program areas, and academic unit.Sthat were made emerged from tho-rough study and consideration of thelong-range, as well as the immediateeffects. Achievements in themselves,the responsive actions of the Systemduring 1975-76, stand as the footingsfor future trends in academic pro-gram development.

New Degrees and Programs

Over the course of the 1975-76year, the Board of Regents approvedonly thirteen new programs at eightof the institutions. Four of the newprograms were at two of the univer-

sities, and nine were at six of thecommunity colleges. Of the new pro-grams, one was on the masters level.one was a bachelors program. sevenwere associate degree programs, andfour of the programs lead to certifi-cates of proficiency. In addition tothese free-standing programs, theBoard authorized five new programoptions at two of the community col-leges.

The new degree programs as out-lined in Table 9 of the Appendix tothis report, include: the MBA atTennessee Technological University;the B.S. in Education, A.S. in Secreta-rial Science, and A.A. in AdvertisingArt at Austin Peay State University:A.S.'s in Engineering and EngineeringTechnology at Mot low State Com-munity College: the A.S. in PoliceScience and Criminology Educationat Roane State Community College;the A.S. in Fire Science Technologyat Walters State Community College;the A.A.S. in Insurance Administra-tion and the Certificate in FamilyServices at Shelby State CommunityCollege; the Certificate in DentalAs.sisting Technology at VolunteerState Community College; and Certi-ficates in Respiratory Therapy Tech-nology and Real Estate at ClevelandState Community College.

All of the new degrees, programs,and program options represent theinstitutions' responses to needs analy-ses for such educational opportunitieswithin their service areas as well astheir abilities to meet such needs withavailable resources. Further, the reali-zation of the new programs involvedthe close working relationships ofcampus faculty and staff, Board staff,and the Tennessee Higher EducationCommission staff in developing andevaluating the program proposals.

The Board also approved a numberof changes in academic units at theSystem institutions duriug the 1975-76 year, as shown in Table 9 of theAppendix. Such changes entailed theredesignation and consolidation ofdegree programs, renaming of aca-demic departments, and major reor-ganization of the academic affairsstucture at one university. In manyof these instances, the primary rea-sons for change addressed concernsfor internal efficiency, consistencywith overall trends in higher educa-tion, and accrediting agency recom-mendations.

Policy on Degree Require-ments

At its June 25, 197(.. ilt:-Ang, theBoard adopted a polky on DegreeRequirements which sets forth mini-mum hour requirements and distribu-tive requirements for all students inthe System institutions undertakinga baccalaureate degree or associatedegree designed for transfer purposes.The policy statement represented theculmination of a twenty-month study,initiated by Board directive and in-volving Board staff and key academicpersonnel at all of the institutions.As adopted. the policy will becomeeffective for freshmen students enter-ing a System institution in the 1977,fall term.

A significant step in Board action,the policy addresses the institutions'differing philosophies of general edu-cation requirements and recognizesthe variances as reflections of theunique missions, program scopes,student types, and other factors com-posing the institutions' characters.However, to the end of enhancingeffective articulation of students be-tween System institutions while assur-

Page 17: Tennessee. - ERIC · 2014-02-03 · DOCUMENT RESUME. HE 008 697. The State Board of Regents 1975-76 Annual Report of the State University and Community College System of. Tennessee

As of December 1975, fourteenTennessee students had enrolledSoutheastern universities in grad-uate programs not available inTennessee, and forty-seven stu-dents from ten southeast statesentered Tennessee to enroll inprograms of unique nature.

ing that students in the baccalaureateand associ-ate transfer degree pro-grams have been exposed to broadcurricular areas, the Board enacteda policy of minimum requirementswhich are to be incorPorated eitheras part of an institution's generaleducation policy or as part of institu-tional dettree requirements or as acombination of both.

The major thrust of the policy istwo-fold. First, it provides that allbaccalaureate degrees require a mini-mum of 192 quarter hours (128 se-mester credit hours), and all associatedegrees shall require a minimum of96 quarter credit hours. Second, itprovides that each student studyingfor . a baccalaureate degree or anassociate degree designed for transferpurposes shall complete, as part ofthe total level-one credits earned,not less than 45 quarter (32 semester)credit hours of level-one course workcomposed of distributive credit hoursin English Composition, Humanities.American History, Natural/Physical ,SciencesiMathematics. and PhysicalEducation Activities.

.Representative of the collectiveefforts and input by all major aca-demic components of the System,this,.policy supersedes the degreerequirements designed by the State

..Board of Education which had served.as curricular policy for the Systemuntil this time.

Academic Common Market

The Academic Common Marketcontinued to provide Tennessee stu-dents and Tennessee universities withopportunities and shared resourcesduring fiscal 1976. Gaining in recog-

.,..nition, this interstate exchange pro-,. AAgram of graduate students. sponsored

by the Southern Regional EducationBoard, yielded a fecord number ofparticipants in Tennessee. As of De-cember, 1975. fourteen Tennesseestudents had enrolled at Southeasternuniversities in graduate programs notavailable in Tennessee, and forty-seven students from ten southeaststates entered Tennessee to enrollin programs of unique nature. EastTennessee State University's Environ-mental Health Program continuedto attract the largest number of out-of-state graduate students under theauspices of the Academic CommonMarket. Twenty-one such studentsenrolled in this program and enjoyedthe waiver of non-resident tuitionfees, an integral facet of the CommonMarket.

East TennesseeState UniversityCollege of Medicine

The College of Medicine madesubstantial progress during 1975-76,despite some rather formidable handi-caps. The failure of the medicaleducation accrediting associations toissue a "Letter of Reasonable Assur-ance" caused the further impound-ment of allocated federal funds aswell as the impediment of full opera-tion. However, the College, the Uni-versity, and the Board staff workedto overcome these problems and bythe close of the year, all publishedrequirements for the "Letter" weremet and the prospects for its achieve-ment within the next year are en-couraging.

As part of the overall effort tomake the College of Medicine areality, a special consultant to theChancellor for medical affairs was

14

17

appointed early in the fiscal year.Dr. Lamar Soutter, a nationally recog-nized figure in Medical Educationand former Dean of the Boston Uni-versity and University of Massachu-setts Colleges of Medicine, was ap-pointed to serve in this capacity. Dr.Soutter's assistance proved to be ofgreat value in the detailed planning,staffing, and development of theETSU College of Medicine.

The significant activities at theCollege for the year related primarilyto preparation for full operation,expected in Fall 1978. The searchfor a new Dean was launched withmany qualified applicants being consi-dered. The Residency Centers atKingsport and Bribtol have been ac-credited. The Kingsport Center is inoperation. The Bristol Center is being"brought on line"; physical facilitiesare being completed and a basic staffis on assignment. Graduate programsin the life sciences were :eadied forsubmission to the Board for approval.A third residency center has beenproposed and research is underwayusing sophisticated laboratories. Stafflecruitment progressed, with totalassignments of 35 faculty and 13 staffmembers at the close of the year.

Public Serviceand ContinuingEducation

Public Service and Continuing Ed-ucation are integrated parts of iheacademic responsibilities of each ofthe sixteen institutions of the System.Each college and university has aclearly defined administrative unitfor the management and supervisionof public service and continuing edu-cation activities. As a matter of rule

Page 18: Tennessee. - ERIC · 2014-02-03 · DOCUMENT RESUME. HE 008 697. The State Board of Regents 1975-76 Annual Report of the State University and Community College System of. Tennessee

The community colleges increas-ingly extended the classroom toneighboring off-campus locations.At these locations the older, part-time students are allowed the con-venience of attending regularcollege classes at locations onlyminutes from their work or home.

and practice, these services are per-formed by the institutions' regularacademic faculty or by adjunct facul-ty approved by the appropriate aca-demic unit. Public Service and Con-tinuing Education are, therefore,considered as extensions of facultyservices to students, as individualsand groups, at times and places out-side the assumed principal respon-sibility of laboratory and classroomteaching.

During the 1975-76 year, the com-munity colleges increasingly extendedthe classroom to neighboring off-cam-pus locations. At these locations, theolder, part-time, employed studentsare allowed the convenience of at-tending regular college classes atlocations only minutes from theirwork or home. Such classes, requir-ing no special lab equipment andoccassional student visits to thecampus library, are scheduled as apart of the regular insitutional pro-gramming. These classes are mak-ing highereducationmoreaccessibieto a large segment of our population.

Additionally, university off-campuscenters and extended service loca-tions have similarly responded toTennesseans who need and desireuniversity services. An environmentfavorable to learning at the off-cam-pus locations is explained in part bythe absence of extended student tra-vel. Relief from the pressures of ademanding time schedule necessita-ted by travel time to distant universitycampuses contributed significantlyto off-campus popularity in 1975-76.A sample listing of the university andcommunity college off-campus in-struction locations is included asTable 10 in the Appendix of this re-Port.

Credit activities in off-campus loca-tions have become an accepted andexpected part of the institutions'instructional programs and indica-tions are that these expectations willcontinue on an increased basis inthe future. (It is worthy of note thatclose to 8% of degree-credit studentsin the System attended a majority oftheir classes at off-campus locations.This represents over 6,400 students).

Non-credit educational experiencesbecame an increasingly importantpart of public service and continuingeducation in System institutions dur-ing the 1975-76 academic year. Thereis every indication that non-crediteducation will continue in its popu-larity in both the universities andthe community colleges in comingyears. During 1975-76, eleven of theinstitutions had staff identified asresponsible for non-credit education.As more professional organizationsand agencies turn to non-credit andContinuing Education Unit (CEU)activities for professional in-serviceand retraining activities, demands onnon-credit education will increase.The universities and community col-leges are better prepared for thisinevitability through experiencesgained dtiring 1975-76.

The iostitutions followed the re-commendations of regional and na-tional accrediting organizations anddeveloped guidelines for assuringquality in non-credit offerings during1975-76. Institutional guidelines weredeveloped and enacted on eleven ofthe campuses and are in the processof development at the remaining fiveinstitutions. Standard IX of the South-ern Association of Colleges andSchools has been accepted as thecriterion for programming in all the

15

18

community colleges and universitiesand was evident in 1975-76 activities.Future plans will continue to utilizeand incorporate Standard IX guide-lines in program improvement efforts.

One of the phenomenons of non-credit education is the willingnessof individuals and client groups topay participation fees that often ex-ceed by several times those fees paidfor similar credit offerings. Specialclient requested and supported non-credit courses during 1975-76 weredirected toward participants' needsand personal desires. These noncreditactivities were organized and spon-sored by the institutions and sup-ported in their entirety through client-paid fees. Such client-paid activitiesoffered a wealth of community be-nefits and opportune outlets for facul-ty desires for community service.

A summary, of public service andcontinuing education activities takenfrom the 1975-76 institutional annualreports, and from individually pre-pared public service annual reports,reflect the following examples of acti-vities:

Regular campus creditcourses offered at off-campus locatkins.

CEU awarded courses,conferences and institutes,both on-campus and off-campus.

Regular non-credit cour-ses, conferences, institutes,and consultive services of-fered to special client groupssuch as civic, social, businessand professional groups.

Special request non-creditactivities to fulfill other agen-cies' accreditation guidelines,such as programs for clients

Plans for the 1976-77 academicyear are for continued emphases inpublic service to groups and agencies,with sensitivities and response to theneeds and desires of individuals.

Student LifeFiscal 1976 was a period in which

student participation and influencein System-wide actions affecting stu-dent life on the campuses reachednew and significant levels. It was alsoa period of reassessment and respon-sive efforts by the Board in addressingthe concerns of students that fallwithin the purview of Board policy.On the campus level, student person-nel services continued to provideintegral, co-curricular services tofoster the total development of allstudents.

Perhaps the most significant eventof the year with respect to the in-terests of student affairs was theplacement of a student as a memberof the Board of Regents. Mr. DwightHenry, a senior at Tennessee Tech-nological University, was appointedas the first Student Regent for fiscalyear 1975-76. Mr. Henry well fulfilledhis responsibilitieias a voting Boardmember in presenting the views andconcerns of the student in Boardconsiderations. He did much in theway of communicating the actionsof the Board on all of the campusesand to the various student groups.

16

19

His performance has set desirableprecedents for future Student Re-gents.

Fiscal 1976 was also the first yearfor student participation on theBoard's Standing Committees. Eightstudents from among the institutionswere appointed as members in thisvital, decision-making capacity. Theirinput and opinions played a majorrole in the success and effectivenessof the Committee's deliberations.

During .1975-76, students were alsoinvolved in System Task Force assign-ments regarding two prevailing stu-dent life concerns. The task forceapproach was selected to study andrecommend possible changes in theBoard policies on residence hall visita-tion and alcoholic beverages on cam-pus. Both of these issues had attractedconsiderable debate by students onthe campuses over the course of pastyears. It was in response to the ex-pressed desires of the campus com-munities that the current policies inthese areas be reviewed that separatetask forces, composed of Systemstudents, faculty, student personneladministrators, and alumni, werecreated.

The existing Board policy on alco-holic beverages on campus prohibitsthe sale, possession, and use of alco-holic beverages on all institutionalproperties. In studying the primaryand related effects of this policy, theassigned task force solicited inputfrom all segments of the campuscommunities, local and state officials,and the general public. Surveys, peti-tions, and student and public hearingswere used in this effort. By the endof 1975-76, this task force was in theprocess of consolidating responsesand formulating its final report andrecommendation. Their presentation

of findings and policy considerationsis expected early the next fiscal year.

The Task Force on Residence HallVisitation used much the same tactin fulfilling their charge to study andrecommend changes in the existingBoard policy which sets forth ratherstrict guidelines for the hosting ofvisitors in the university dormitories.Resulting from the Task Fome's finalreport and recommendations present-ed at the June 25, 1976 meeting ofthe Board, a revised policy statementon Residence Hall Visitation wasconsidered and adopted by theBoard.

Residence Hall VisitationPolicy

This revised policy adopted by theBoard during 1975-76 thrusts theresponsibility for developing equi-table visitation provisions for studentsliving in the university dormitorieson the institutions themselves. Thepolicy's broad guidelines provideminimum standards to be implement-ed to insure that all students' rightsto privacy and security are safe-guarded. Pursuant to the provisionsof the revised policy, one universityhad established a differential housingpolicy by the close of 1975-76. Theother five universities are developingsimilar plans to be implemented inthe next fiscal year.

A second Board policy concerningthe safeguarding of students rightswas adopted during the year. Consis-tant with the System's posture onequal opportunity in all facets ofcampus life, this policy statementaddresses primarily the recently a-dopted federal regulations of "TitleIX."

Policy on Nondiscriminationon the Basis of Sex in Edu-cation' Programs and Activ-iiiir

At its October 17, 1975, meeting,the State Board of Regents adopteda statement of policy and procedureson nondiscrimination in educationprograms and activities on the basisof sex. The purpose of the policy isto assist the institutions of the Systemin complying with Title IX of theEducation Amendments of 1972, per-tinent sections of the Public HealthService Act, and subsequent Regula-tions. As a matter of policy, thestatement provides that the institu-tions shall ensure that equal opportu-nity and nondiscrimination exist forall students in all programs and activi-ties such as recruitment and admis-sion, training, rules on student lifeactivities, housing, facilities, accessto course offerings, counseling, finan-cial assistance, employment assis-tance, health and insurance benefitsand services, rules on marital orparental status, and athletics. Thepolicy further provides correlativerefeVence to the provisions of theBoard's policy on Equal EmploymentOpportunity and Affirmative Action.

The procedural aspects of tnepolicy relate to the institutions' re-sponsibilities concerning the desig-nation of campus coordinators/offi-cers, implementation of grievanceprocedures, statement and dissemina-tion of the institutions' policies, andimplementation of self-evaluations.

Students services at the institutionscontinued to provide for the co-curricular needs and desires of stu-dents. In doing so, the variety ofactivities associated with student lifeexpanded and changed with the chang-

17

20

ing characteristics of the studentclienteles. The colleges and universi-ties emphasized the extension of theirstudent services to the non-tradition,commuter, off-campus students aswell as upgrading the conventional,campus life programs. Counseling,career advisement, Lyceum programs,orientation and informational serviceson campus activities, and intramuralathletics were reported by the institu-tions as major areas of interest, de-velopment, and growth in studentlife functions during the year.

As a system, the institutions' fiscal1976 current fund expenditures forStudent Services totaled over $13million. This total represents supportfor the services such as student acti-vities, cultural events, student news-papers, intramural athletics, studentorganizations, counseling and careerguidance, and student health services.

A considerable portion of the capi-tal projects in progress during fiscal1976 on the System campuses wasdirectly related to providing facilitiesfor student services and activities.Such projects which were completedduring the year were the WinfieldDunn Health and Physical EducationCenter at Austin Peay State Univer-sity and outdoor physical educationfacilities at Walters State CommunityCollege. Student service-orientedbuildings in progress at the clme ofthe year included the Student Centerand the Physical Education Complexat East Tennessee State Universityand the Health and Physical Educa-tion Building at Tennessee Techno-logical University. Projects of similarpurpose in the planning stages byJune 30, 1976, were the Student Cen-ter at Chattanooga State TechnicalCommunity College, completion ofthe Campus Center at Volunteer

State Community College, and theStudent Services and Learning Re-sources Center at Walters State Com-munity College.

While all of the student affairsoffices perform vital services forstudent welfare and development, theFinancial Aid offices of the Systeminstitutions merit special mention dueto their outstanding.efforts under dif-ficult conditions. Despite the Boardof Regents efforts to maintain stu-dent tuition and fees as low as pos-slible, the rising costs of higher educa-tion present a considerable expense,if not a burden to many studentsand their families. To enable themany students who otherwise mightnot be in a position to seek a collegeeducation, all of the System institu-tions administer financial assistanceprograms under the direction of esta-blished Financial Aid offices. Facedwith limited resources and overwhelm-ing demands for assistance, theseoffices work to provide the greatestamount of aid to the greatest num-ber of eligible studen ts possible whilecounseling and advising the recipientsin budgeting and planning matters.

During 1975-76, financial assistancein amoums exceeding 522 millionwere made available to System stu-dents. An aggregate total number ofover 30,000 awards were made fromfederal, state, institutional, and pri-vate assistance sources. The awardsrepresent forms of scholarships,grants, fellowships, and loans. Of thetotal amount of assistance awardedduring the year, the amount of cur-rent funds expended by the Systemfor Scholarships and Fellowships ex-ceeded 53.6 million.

CampusDevelopment

The creation of a new Board staffarea with responsibilities for CampusPlanning and Facilities Developmentin 1975-76 marked the initiation of aformal System emphasis on compre-hensive planning as it relates to cam-pus building programs and the man-agement of facilities. Major advance-ments were made during the year inthis regard with the implementationof System-wide programs, studies,and analyses. These activities ad-dressed the elements of present andprojected campus needs in consider-ation of current and prospective capi-tal resource avaiiabilities. Immediateresults were realized from many ofthese efforts. A number of the acti-vities will have long-range impacts.The following are examples of theundertakings of the year which ad-dressed the concerns for effectivecampus development.

In the area of facility planning andbudgeting, a five-year capital improve-ment planning process was developedand implemented during 1975-76. Asa planning process, each institutionprojected its capital needs and fund-ing requirements for a five-year per-iod. In essence, the first year of theplan became the budget request forthe institution. The plan and relatedbudget will be reviewed and updatedon an annual basis.

Also during the year, a comprehen-sive analysis of campus space needsthrough the 1980s was conductedand completed. This analysis is repre-sentative of extensive research andstatistical application. By computingthe space requirements of projected

18

enrollments and expected trends indiscipline interests, this informationwas used as a basis for developingcapital improvement budgets andlong-range plans. In comparing exist-ing space by functional use to theprojected space needs, "high need"institutions have been designated. Onthe basis of this analysis, capitalbudget recommendations for newfacilities have been and will continueto be made. Notably, the "high growth"trend in the community colleges pre-sents the primary System target forcapital improvement. Additionally,special purpose facility needs havebeen identified in the universities.

Related to the development of thefive-year capital improvement plan-ning process and the results of thespace needs analysis, efforts werefurther directed during 1975-76 torefine the existing campus masterplans at all of the institutions, withspecial attention being given to thecommunity colleges" designated fornew constniction. Considered essen-tial to efficient and effective program-ming, a comprehensive campus mas-ter plan was completed for Chatta-nooga State Technical CommunityCollege. Efforts were also initiatedto develop similar plans for WaltersState Community College, RoaneState Community College, VolunteerState Community College, and ShelbyCommunity College.

With regard to growing concernsabout the state of existing facilitieson college and university campuses,four separate yet related activitieswere undertaken during the year.First, a comprehensive system 'forconstruction management supervi-sion was installed. Second, a com-prehensive analysis was conducted

It was ultimately through effectiveplanning and budgeting that 1975-76 was a year. of overall Systemprogress despite the many ob-sticles posed by inflation, in-creases in cgsts, and tepid fund-ing.

to future expectations and objectiVes.The end results of the Planning TaskForce's activities will serve as thebases for all comprehensive planningand plan implementation campus ef-forts.

At the close of the year, the Plan-ning task Force had made significantprogress in discerning the nature ofthe data necessary to meeting theirobjectives. It is expected that theircontinuing work in the next year willgreatly enhance the planning aspectsof campus development within theSystem.

Businessand Finance

During a period of limited resourc-es and expanding demands for ser-vice, it was the efforts related to fiscalmanagement that assumed the great-est responsibilities for providing bal-ance and development within theSystem. It was ultimately througheffective planning and budgeting that1975-76 was a year of overall Systemprogress despite the many obstaclesposed by inflation, increases in costs,and tepid funding. The commitmentsof the Board, the Board staff, andthe institutions were totally account-able for the success of the System inmeeting its obligations while main-taining high levels of quality in alloperations.

Fiscal1976 was a year of austerityfor the System in many regards. Fiveof the sixteen institutions were forcedto draw upon reserves in order tomaintain balanced budgets and toprovide their expected services. Oneinstitution, Shelby State, was forcedto limit enrollments. Roane State andChattanooga State had to postpone

initiating programs due to the short-age of funding. Overall, salary increas-es for System personnel averagedonly 2.5 percent. This was in accord-ance with direct legislative mandateand the guidelines of the Departmentof Finance and Administration. Costsaving efforts, including cutbacks insupplies and equipment purchases,reductions in energy utilization, andoverall tightening of general expendi-tures were implemented.

The financial statements includedas Tables 13, 14, and 15 in the Appen-dix of this report detail the System'smanagement of resources in meetingits responsibilities. Explanatory notesprecede these statements for clarifi-cation. The following are selectedhighlights and uses of the System'sresources.

The total current fund revenue ofthe System increased from$150,067,231 in fiscal 1975 to$160,162,279 in fiscal 1976 or 6.7%.State operating appropriations in-creased from $78,294,818 to$83,548,701. It should be noted thatwhile this represents an increase of6.7%, the impoundment of 5% offiscal 1975 funding causes this com-parison to misrepresentative. Theactual increase in allocated tax dollarsof fiscal 1976 from fiscal 1975 priorto the impoundment is 3.7%. Therelative percentage of this source ofrevenue remained the same fromfiscal 1975 to 1976 at 52.2% of totalrevenues. Revenues from studenttuition and fees increased from527,071,898 to $31,536.566 or 16.5%.Revenue from this source increased.in relative percentage from 18% ofthe total in fiscal 1975 to 19.7% ofthe total in fiscal 1976. This increase,however, was primarily offset by a

20

1.2% relative decrease in federalsupport for appropriations and grantsand contracts.

The total current fund expendi-tures and mandatory transfers of theSystem increased from $148,305,991in fiscal 1975 to $156,710,815 in fiscal1976 or 5.7%. The relative percentageexpended for Instruction increasedfrom 40.7% to 41.1% of the totalexpenditures and transfers. Operationand Maintenance of Plant assumedthe greatest relative increase, from9.5% of the total in fiscal 1975 to10.5% of the total in fiscal 1976. Thisis due to the trend of abnormal infla-tionary increases in the costs of utili-ties and maintenance supplies. Thelargest relative decrease in expen-ditures from fiscal 1975 to 1976 oc-curred in Scholarships and Fellow-ships where there was a decrease of1.2%, from 3.5% to 2.3% of the total.

Particular note is due to the bal-ance of fiscal 1976 revenues andexpenditures in Auxiliary Enterprises.The revenues of $21,407,247 exceed-ed the expenditures of $20,819,594.This is significant of determined ef-forts to make the Auxiliary Enter-prises self-supporting and to renderthese services as totally userspon-sored.

The total Investment in Plant in-creased. from $394,840,672 as of June30, 1975 to $422, 207,057 as of June30, 1976; an increase of $27,376,385or 6.9%. During this same period,indebtedness increased from$77,267,200 to $78,902,919; an in-crease of $1,635,719 or 2.1%. Includedin the indebtedness figure is the newbond issue by the Tennessee StateSchool Bond Authority of$32,149,791.88 for Board of Regentsuniversities which replaced tempo-rary financing.

One of the greatest achievementsduring'1975-76 was the initiationof a System-wide management pro-gram.

With regard to System efforts toimprove the management of busi-ness operations, 1975-76 was a periodof significant action. The adoptionof two Board policies addressing theoperational aspects of purchasing andthe approval of contracts during theyear.underlined the Board's respon-sibility to insure control in areaswhere need occurs, as well as itsprerogative to delegate authority tothe institutions. In both these in-stances, the policy statements setforth minimum standards, providingfor .institutional discretion, within thelinations of State law and regulations.

porchasiw Policies andprocedures

Adopted by the Board at its March5, .1976, meeting, this policy esta-blishes and clarifies the purchasingauthority of the institutions. Thepolicy specifies certain purchasingtrans,ctions which are not within, thedelegation of authority, provides forsafeguards in the areas of emergencypurchases and contracts, requires thedevelopment of institutional purchas-ing manuals, and provides for thecreation of a council of buyers torecommend possible uniform proce-dures, standard specifications, termcontracts and coordination of -pur-

and to develop a code ofchasing,ethics.policy on Approval of Agree-ments

This policy, also adopted at themarch 5, 1976, meeting, providesclarification of the types of agree-ments which are subject to the ap-proval of the Chancellor, and other-wise delegates certain contractingauthority to the presidents. The poli-cy Provides that all agreements con-cerning real estate, data processing

equipment, insurance, employee be-nefits, professional or consultive ser-vices, capital outlay projects, andcooperative or coordinated acadeMicprograms and activities, or academicmatters of System-wide affect, shallbe subject to approval by the Chan-cellor. All other agreements may beapproved by the president of aninstitution, subject to the standardsanci requirements of the policy.

Related to the concerns of soundbusiness management and the dele-gation of administrative responsibili-ties to the most appropriate level,personnel management at the cam-puses was also an area of Systemstudy and Board action during 1975--76. An extensive study was under-taken by Board staff and key institu-tional personnel on alternative proce-dures to improve the effectivenessand efficiency in campus level person-nel matters which currently involvedthe Board and Board staff. Followingthe study, a Board policy statementwas developed and at its June 25,1976, meeting, the Board adopted aGeneral Personnel Policy.

General Personnel Policy

This policy delegates to the presi-dents authority to administer generalpersonnel matters pursuant to theprovided guidelines in the areas of:appointment and employment of per-sonnel; the nature of the appointmentof personnel; compensation of em-ployees; changes of status and termi-nations of employees; non-discrimi-nation requirements; complaints con-cerning employment practices; andrecording and reporting requirements.

21

2 4

One of the primary effects of thepolicy was the elimination of a Systemsalary schedule affecting faculty and,administrative personnel which hadbeen utilized since the System wasin operation.

In the broadest sense of businessand resource management, one ofthe greatest achievements during1975-76 was the initiation of a System-wide management program. Adaptingthe principles of Management ByObjectives (MBO) to the uniquestructure and relationships within theSystem, this recognized approach toplanning and evaluation was imple-mented on the Board staff and presi-dential levels. Many presidents in turninitiated MBO systems on the secondand third levels of campusadministration.

Management By Objectives, asimplemented by the System, providesthe means whereby institutional goalsand objectives are defined, activityplanning is integrated, and prioritiesare established and communicated.The outcomes of this process areimproved planning and decision-making, effective utilization of re-sources, participative management,and the bases for objective evaluationof the results achieved.

The effectiveness and success en-joyed by the System from the use ofthe MBO concepts in the entire realmof administrative functions during thisinitial year of implementation insuresits continuation in the future.
