Preservation and Archeology and the UNS Board of

seconded. Motion carried.

vide $9000 to the University of Nevada Press for

Hadley. The money will be earmarked for a special
account and applied against manufacturing costs should
the Editorial Board endorse the project. If the Edi-
torial Board fails to endorse the project, or if the
manuscript never materializes, the money would be

Dr. Eardley moved approval to include item 9 on the Consent
Agenda. Mrs. Sparks seconded. Motion carried.
Mr. Klaich moved adoption of the Consent Agenda and approval
of the prepared agenda with the authority to change the
order of items as specified throughout the meeting. Dr.
Eardley seconded. Motion carried.
3. Approved Resolution, Sale of Bonds, Student Housing, UNR
Approved a $10 million bond sale for student housing at UNR.
At its May 1991 meeting, the Board authorized UNS Bond
Counsel to arrange the sale. Chancellor Dawson introduced
Mr. Paul Howarth, Howarth and Associates, and Mr. John
Swendseid, UNS Bond Counsel, who reported on the bond sale.
Mr. Howarth provided the Board of Regents with a list of
the top four bids with Dean Whitter Reynolds indicating
the best interest rate at 6.967%. (Resolution #91-10).
Mr. Klaich moved approval of awarding the $10 million bond
sale for student housing at UNR to Dean Whitter Reynolds.
Mrs. Sparks seconded.
Mr. Klaich requested a summation of the City of Reno's
Counsel meeting which addressed student housing at UNR.
Several neighborhood representatives were in attendance
at the Counsel meeting. President Crowley stated that the
City Counsel approved the construction of new student
housing at UNR with a condition that UNR is to construct
a parking structure with 1250 parking spaces. This would
require UNR to seek appropriations from the 1993 Legis-
lature. President Crowley stated that parking fees would
have to be increased up to three times what they are at
the present time. If UNR should wait until the 1993
Legislature convenes to request appropriations, the con-
struction project would have to be redesigned to meet the
budget. At this time, the construction budget is very
close to meeting its budgeted allocation, and with infla-
tion during the next two years UNR would be unable to
construct the housing with its present budget.
The action by the City Counsel has had a devastating im-
pact on UNR's retention and student recruitment efforts.
The construction plans for student housing calls for a
216-bed facility; however, the City Counsel is asking for
an additional 1250 parking spaces. President Crowley stated
that he will discuss this issue with UNS General Counsel
and UNR's Vice Presidents. President Crowley will approach
the City Counsel for reconsideration.
Mrs. Whitley entered the meeting.
Upon questioning, President Crowley indicated that the
proposed student housing facility will be built on an
existing parking lot which contains 108 parking spaces.
Mr. Klaich stated that the action taken by the City Counsel
is very discouraging.
President Crowley stated that accusations have been made
toward UNR in that UNR has not provided any relief to the
parking problem in the neighborhoods surrounding the Campus.
These accusations are not true, according to President
Crowley. He stated that if students choose to live in the
residence hall, parking would be limited to 1 space per 3
residents; however, the commuter ratio is 1:1. It is UNR's
objective to house 25% of the student population on the
UNR Campus.
President Crowley stated he felt that the discussion at
the City Counsel's meeting was symbolic for the neighbor-
hood residents who are not happy with UNR's parking sit-
uation.
Mr. Klaich questioned if UNS sells the bonds and receives
proceeds, but are then turned down and cannot proceed
forward with the housing project, could the bonds be
recalled, and Mr. Swendseid answered in the affirmative.
Mr. Klaich questioned if the bonds are sold but the City
Counsel's conditions are not met, could it be challenged
in a court of law, and General Counsel Klaisic answered
by stating that UNR could challenge the reasonableness of
the action by the City Counsel or UNR could challenge
whether a state agency is required to comply with local
zoning requirements when the Legislature has approved
the project.
Mr. Klaich stated that the City Counsel staff did not
recommend conditions, however these were added by the
Counsel during the meeting.
Motion carried.
4. Approved Emeritus Status, UNLV, UNR and UNS
Approved Emerita/Emeritus status for the following:
A. University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Alice Mason, Emerita Associate Professor of Physical
Education, effective July 1, 1991
B. University of Nevada, Reno
Jim Jeffers, Jr., Emeritus Director of Real Estate,
Business Center North
Robert D. Jeffers, Emeritus Director of Employee
Relations and Benefits, Business Center North
Condido S. Vaia, Emeritus Manager, The College Inn
C. University of Nevada System
Warren H. Fox, Emeritus Vice Chancellor of Academic
Affairs
Mr. Klaich moved approval of Emerita/Emeritus status at
UNLV, UNR and UNS. Mrs. Sparks seconded. Motion carried.
Dr. Eardley felt that the awarding of Emeritus was to be
bestowed upon those professional employees who were retiring
from the University of Nevada System. He noted that Vice
Chairman Fox was leaving UNS to accept another position in
California. President Crowley stated that the awarding of
Emeritus has changed over the years and no longer follows
the retirement criteria. President Maxson stated that
Emeritus is now being awarded to those professional employ-
ees who have served UNS for a number of years and have been
dedicated employees.
5. Approved Tenure, UNR
Approved the award of tenure to James Gentry as Professor
of Journalism at UNR, effective July 1, 1991.
Mr. Klaich moved approval of award of tenure to James
Gentry as Professor of Journalism at UNR, effective July 1,
1991. Mrs. Sparks seconded. Motion carried.
The open meeting recessed at 1:30 P.M. to move into committee
meetings.
Dr. Derby gave an update report on the ad hoc Committee of the
Status of Women by stating that a request has been made of the
Campus Advisory Committees to submit data regarding the EE06
reporting form. The information derived from this data will
enable the Committee to review the profile and changes during
the last two years. The Committee will make a formal report
to the Board of Regents at its October meeting.
The open meeting reconvened at 11:30 A.M. Thursday, June 27,
1991 with all Regents present.

tween the 1991-92 and 1990-91 in state appropriations is
16.5%, and other revenue sources is 21.7%, indicating the
total revenue difference being $35,366,298.
Chancellor Dawson stated that the actual amount for the
operating budget has not been approved at this time and
he requested authorization to continue expenditures at
the rate of the current fiscal year.
Mrs. Whitley moved approval to authorize the continuation

12. Regents' Workshop
The Board met in workshop session in the Grand Hall, Richard
Tam Alumni Center, University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Report of Knight Commission - President Maxson reported that
the "Keeping Faith with the Student-Athlete", sponsored by
the Knight Foundation and chaired by Dr. William C. Friday
and Father Theodore M. Hesburgh was completed in March,
1991. The Committee has proposed a new structure of reform,
which has four parts: Presidential control, academic in-
tegrity, financial integrity, and independent certification.
Dr. Hammargren entered the meeting.
President Maxson summarized the Committee's recommendations
as follows:
A. Governing Boards should cede total authority over sports
programs to College Presidents, and Presidents should
control NCAA decision making.
B. Presidents should insure that their sports programs
comply with federal statutes barring sex discrimination.
C. The NCAA should require incoming Freshman athletes to
complete 15 high school core subjects successfully,
instead of the current 11.
D. The academic performance of athletes should be revised
each semester, and athletes should be declared ineli-
gible if they are not making progress toward a specific
degree.
E. Each College should require athletes in all sports to
graduate at the same rate as other students.
F. Scholarships for athletes should last for five years,
and grants for needy athletes should cover the full
cost of attending College.
G. All athletics revenues, including booster-club gifts
and coaches' outside income, should be channeled into
the University's financial system.
H. Coaches should be offered long-term contracts.
I. The NCAA should establish a mandatory system to certify
its members' success in attaining academic and finan-
cial integrity.
J. Each College should conduct an annual academic and
financial audit of its sports programs, and results
of the audits should be made public.
Report on NCAA Reform Agenda - President Crowley reported
that the 1991 Convention addressed the issue whereby in-
stitutional Presidents would accept responsibility of the
athletic programs and their relationships with NCAA. Pres-
ident Crowley summarized a few of the convention's agenda
topics, as follows:
A. Graduation reporting to be at the same level for entire
student population. This may require an additional em-
ployee to compile such reports.
B. Reduction of time demands in all sports to 20 hours per
week of playing and practice during the traditional
season with one full-day free, and 8 hours per week
during the nontraditional season with three full-days
free.
C. Reduction of coaches in all sports, along with reduc-
tion of grants-in-aid by 10% in all sports, and re-
duction in recruiting activities, such as telephone
calls, evaluations and contacts, number of visits to
the schools, and brochures.
D. Membership criteria be established in order to
strengthen schedules, set sports sponsorship crite-
ria, and minimize financial aid requirements.
President Crowley stated that the 1992 Convention will
address the following issues;
A. Strengthening initial academic eligibility requirements.
B. Continuing requirements for athletic eligibility.
C. Transferring from Community College and Junior Colleges
will require one year of sitting out of the sport.
D. Discussion on the Certification Report. The Certifica-
tion Report is a pilot program consisting of 40 insti-
tutions on a volunteer basis (both Nevada Universities
volunteered) and will undergo the process this coming
year.
E. Discussion on NCAA legislation procedures. At the
present, detailed items come before the Legislature, a
committee interprets the legislation, and looks at
reform on legislation. The convention will deal with
broad refinements to these procedures.
Intercollegiate Athletics Programs
A. President Crowley introduced UNR Athletic Director Chris
Ault. Mr. Ault reported that the athletic budget has
increased dramatically over the years; six years ago
the athletic budget was approximately $2.6 million, and
is now $4.2 million. There are 16 intercollegiate
sports consisting of 8 men's sports, 7 women's sports,
and 1 coed sport. There are 240 athletes with 210
athletes requiring financial aid. In 1984, Title IX
visited UNR and required compliance within one year,
and Mr. Ault stated that UNR did meet their require-
ments within the one year.
Mr. Ault reported on several academic successes which
UNR athletes have met, with the latest statistics
indicating that during the May 1991 commencement
exercises 66 athletes graduated with a Bachelor's
degree, 5 athletes graduated with a Master's degree,
and 1 athlete graduated with a Doctorate degree. UNR
is the number one school in graduation rates within
the Big Sky Conference.
Mr. Ault reported that it takes the average student to
complete College 5.7 years. Prior to 1977, student
athletes were returning to their homes and completing
their 5th year. Since then the Alumni Football Asso-
ciation has raised funds for scholarships to be given
to students who would be graduating within one year.
He stated that the athletic coaches at UNR are excel-
lent. The men's program is number one within the
league.
He explained the possible reorganization if UNR would
be accepted into the Big West Conference which is a
Division 1A. All sports at UNR are Division 1A, ex-
cept football. One of the criteria to enter into
this division is to expand the football stadium. Mr.
Ault explained that $3 million has been raised from
private donors for this expansion to 30,000 seating
capacity.
Chairman Gallagher relinquished gavel to Vice Chairman Sparks.
Mr. Klaich congratulated Mr. Ault and his program. The
recruiting tool involving high school students visting
the Campus is an excellent approach.
Dr. Eardley questioned the benefits of an athletic
program to a University, and Mr. Ault indicated that
the UNR athletic program generates over $12 million
which is returned to the community and $1 million
returned to the University; i. e., salaries, tuition,
fees.
Chairman Gallagher returned and resumed the gavel.
B. President Maxson introduced UNLV Athletic Director
Dennis Finfrock. Mr. Finfrock reported that since he
was appointed Interim Athletic Director 10 months ago,
there has been a massive reform and introspection. When
he appeared before the Board upon accepting this posi-
tion, he relayed some goals to the Board. Mr. Finfrock
indicated that most of those goals have been reached
and he felt that these changes are for the greater good
of the University. It has taken courage to find solu-
tions to these problems and it could not have been
achieved without the support of the Regents, President
Maxson and staff.
In response to the Attorney General's 12 recommenda-
tions for the UNLV Athletic Department, Mr. Finfrock
indicated that each one of the recommendations has
either been implemented or is in the process of im-
plementation.
Mr. Finfrock stated that there has been much frustra-
tion in speaking to the public, whereas he could not
speak to the issues of personnel, the Attorney Gen-
eral's investigation, nor the NCAA investigation.
Therefore, he concentrated on the positive aspects of
the UNLV athletic program which consists of 350 student
athletes, 14 sports, and several excellent coaches.
In regard to academic accomplishments, UNLV has attempt-
ed to provide a quality education experience for student
athletes. To demonstrate the emphasis on student ath-
letes, UNLV has employed 8 academic advisors and there
are over 90 student athletes who belong to the 3.0 club.
Mr. Finfrock highlighted individual, team and coaches
accomplishments, such as the first undefeated regular
basketball season (34-0) and three basketball players
being drafted to the NBA. There are 6 teams nationally
ranked within the top 20, with the men's overall program
ranking 22nd and the women's overall program ranking
close to the top 30, according to USA Today. Mr.
Finfrock mentioned several honors which various coaches
have received during the past year.
In the past, Mr. Finfrock stated that UNLV's Athletic
Department operated under the "Crisis Management"; how-
ever, for the future it will be operated under the "Long
Range Planning and Visionary Leadership" approach. He
stated, "I know that our future can't be just an exten-
sion of our past." He relayed stories regarding the
Thomas and Mack Events Center and the Sam Boyd Silver
Bowl.
In order to achieve athletic success, it will be very
expensive. Therefore, there must be more creative and
innovative fund raising for scholarships and endow-
ments.
The academic progress emphasized by President Maxson
over the last 7 years has allowed the Athletic Depart-
ment to attract the top quality student athlete and it
is Mr. Finfrock's goal to elevate athletics to a higher
standard of achievement in the academic programs.
Mrs. Berkley entered the meeting.
Mr. Finfrock stated that he supported the Knight Com-
mission and the President's Commission regarding the
reform agenda of the NCAA. It is hoped that UNLV can
demonstrate fiscal integrity, academic integrity, and
graduate 100% of the student athletes. In addition,
since 80% of the athletic budget is on soft money,
it is Mr. Finfrock's desire to achieve a more balanced
budget with a commitment from the State of Nevada.
Mr. Finfrock acknowledged Mr. Chris Ault for a fine
job with UNR's football team and stated that he wel-
comed UNR into the Big West Conference, if so chosen.
He stated that the NCAA investigation is still uncer-
tain, but no matter what happens, UNLV will survive
and will continue to strive for excellence.
In closing, Mr. Finfrock quoted Norman Schwarzkopt by
stating:
"In times of stress, you turn to the good Lord,
and to your family, and more than anything else
you call on that same inner strength that kept
you going in a lot of other adverse times. It's
not easy. But then you realize THAT'S that you've
been trained for your entire life."
These are the "worst of times", but also the "best of
times" for UNLV and he is certain that it will all be
pulled together for the best for UNLV.
Mr. Klaich requested UNLV to respond to the Attorney Gen-
eral's report and recommendations. He stated that it is
the responsibility of the Athletic Director to manage funds
appropriately and encouraged Mr. Finfrock to seek funding
from the Legislature by proceeding through the normal budget
process.
Dr. Eardley requested that the members of the Board of
Regents be kept informed on the Big West Conference issue
for UNR.
President Maxson expressed his sincere hope that President
Crowley will consider participation in the Big West Con-
ference.
President Crowley updated the Board on the actions by the
Commission Office in reviewing UNR as a potential Big West
Conference school. The Committee from Big West Conference
will meet with UNR on July 8. The University has spoken
to the faculty and community regarding this possible change
but it will be UNR's final decision to accept the invita-
tion. He requested that the Board of Regents review this
proposal and give it considerable consideration. This may
require a special teleconference meeting of the Board.
Dr. Hammargren indicated that he has received an article
regarding national overall graduation rates and highlighted
some of the statistics.
Mr. Foley stated that he was greatly concerned with Richard
Perry "The Fixer", in that he felt that Mr. Perry has not
paid his debt to society. He stated that, "As a Board, we
should not sit idly by and permit him to corrupt our stu-
dent athletes." He requested General Counsel Klasic to
research and advise the Board on what legal actions UNS can
take to restrain Mr. Perry and make it less attractive for
this man to operate in the community.
Chairman Gallagher thanked everyone for a very productive
workshop session.
Mrs. Berkley stated that she objected to the UNS General
Counsel investigating Mr. Perry because it is not within
the Board's jurisdiction. Mr. Klaich agreed and felt that
President Maxson and Mr. Finfrock should handle that in-
cident.
Chairman Gallagher requested that General Counsel Klasic
refrain from any action, unless he sees any value to Mr.
Foley's request. If so, General Counsel Klasic may take up
the issue with Regent Foley.
The open meeting recessed at 10:20 A.M. to move into the CCSN
Foundation meeting. The regular meeting reconvened at 10:22
A.M. Friday, June 28, 1991 with all Regents present except
Regents Berkley, Foley and Whitley.
13. Information Only: Nevada Higher Education Projects for
Math and Science
In 1989, Congress enacted the Dwight D. Eisenhower Mathe-
matics and Science Education Act to provide assistance to
the states to improve the quality of mathematics and science
teaching and instruction in the U. S. The Chancellor's
Office coordinates grants to institutions of higher educa-
tion in Nevada to improve skills of teachers in mathematics
and science and to increase the access of all students
(K-12) to these subjects. Vice Chancellor Warren Fox and
Karen Steinberg, co-coordinators of the statewide higher
education component of the Dwight D. Eisenhower program,
provided information about the program in Nevada, discussed
selected projects funded under this program, and distributed
a report entitled, "State of Nevada Higher Education Proj-
ects for Mathematics and Science", which is filed in the
Regents' Office.
Mrs. Steinberg stated that in 1989-90, which was the first
year, awards totaled $150,891 and were granted to 9 proj-
ects. In 1990-91, the second year, $134,000 was awarded for
for 10 projects. In addition to these awards, over the
four years of funding under the Education for Economic
Security Act, Nevada higher education received $461,338 in
federal dollars and funded 23 difference projects to im-
prove mathematics and science teaching and instruction.
These projects are described in a separate publication,
filed in the Regents' Office.
Through these two federally funded programs teachers and
students have been served in all areas of the State, with
special emphasis placed on programs for rural teachers
and students who have far less access to programs than
their urban counterparts. Each year UNS has received more
reponses to the request for proposals than UNS can fund
with available resources. The enthusiastic response of
project directors and project participants to opportunities
that would not otherwise exist indicates confidence in the
value of these projects to Nevada teachers and students.
Mrs. Berkley and Mr. Foley entered the meeting. Dr. Hammargren
left the meeting.
Mrs. Steinberg introduced Dr. Linda Zech, Instructional and
Curricular Studies at UNLV, who highlighted her projects and
stated that changes in teaching mathematics in today's
society requires using real world problems.
Dr. Dale Andersen, Dean of the College of Education at UNLV,
highlighted the Southern Nevada Young Scientists' Camp which
was held during the 1990 and 1991 Summers at UNLV. The
project is designed for underrepresented (minority and fe-
male) middle school students in the four Southern Nevada
counties. He stated that a follow-up study will be compiled
of four consecutive Summer Camps.
Dr. Hammargren returned to the meeting.
14. Approved Tuition and Fees Increases
Approved a tuition and fees increase for the academic
years 1991-92 as developed in accordance with Board policy,
as contained in Ref. B, filed with the permanent minutes.
These increases will be reflected in a Handbook change,
Title 4, Chapter 17, Sections 4 and 10.
Section 4. Tuition
2. Except for UN medical students who are charged a dif-
ferent tuition, students qualifying under the Good
Neighbor Tuition Policy and children of University
alumni, tuition shall be $1800 per semester for all
University students and $1500 per semester for all
Community College students who have not been classi-
fied as in-state students.

Mr. Klaich moved approval of the tuition and fees increase
for the academic years 1991-92. Dr. Eardley seconded.
Mr. Klaich questioned whether this proposed tuition and fees
increase was a good even-leveled fee increase. He noted
that from 1980 to 1990 the fees were increased from $24 to
$40 which is approximately 66% increase, and from 1988-90
the fees were increased from $40 to $49 which is approxi-
mately a 25% increase. He did not feel that the establish-
ed policy for increasing fees was working as it should for
UNS. He had hoped for lower increases. He stated he felt
the Board of Regents has abdicated authority on fee in-
creases.
Mr. Foley agreed with Mr. Klaich and stated that the Chan-
cellor had assured the Regents that fee increases would not
be based on WICHE standards. Dr. Derby was also in agree-
ment.
Mr. Klaich clarified that he would vote for the tuition and
fees increase because the budget, which now is before the
Legislature, includes these increases.
Chairman Gallagher stated that this increase has gone before
the Legislature and that the Chancellor's staff has followed
the policy established by the Board of Regents in regard to
tuition and fees increases. She suggested that possibly the
new Chairman may want to address this issue.
Mrs. Sparks indicated that this policy has not relinquished
the Board's reponsibility for fees. The Board of Regents
still has the authority to accept or reject the proposed
increase. Chairman Gallagher advised that if the Board of
Regents felt it necessary to change the policy, they should
do so in the near future.
President Crowley stated that it was the Board's responsi-
bility and authority to increase tuition and fees. He had
understood the policy to direct the Chancellor's staff to
work with students. The policy implied that there would
be a significant increase for the first year. He felt that
the policy should be re-examined. The Board's philosophy
and assumptions should be the driving factor in establish-
ing tuition and fees increases. Mr. Foley requested a
workshop session be scheduled to discuss tuition and fees
increase.
ASUN President Derek Beenfelt stated that the increases
were written into the budget without student input and he
understood that WICHE standards would not be used in
compiling these figures, but that the needs of the schools
would be a major factor.
Mr. Klaich asked whether there would be a fee increase for
1992-93 built into the UNS budget and that if approved by
the Legislature, the fee would remain the same as 1991-92
at $49. This was clarified following the meeting by Vice
Chancellor Sparks who indicated that the budget approved
by the Regents and the Legislature has an increase built in
for FY 93: University - from $49 to $51 per credit; Commu-
nity Colleges - from $26 to $27 per credit; Graduate Fees
- from $66 to $73 per credit; and Non-Resident fees - from
$1800 to $1950 per semester.
Chancellor Dawson apologized to the Board of Regents stating
he understood the policy to include WICHE standards and
other indicators in any proposed tuition and fees increases.
Mr. Klaich stated that he understood the policy for setting
increases, but is questioning the implications for future
use. He would like this issue discussed to see if it is
the right policy for UNS.
Dr. Eardley requested the Presidents to be aware of this
increase and how it will affect their Campuses in relation
to the percentage of student fees to the total budget.
President Crowley felt that the proportion of student fees
has declined rather than increased.
Motion carried. Mr. Foley opposed.
15. Approved Handbook Additions, Presidential Leave and
Presidential Transition
A. Approved a Handbook addition regarding Presidential
Leave as contained in Ref. D, filed in the Regents'
Office.
Dr. Eardley moved approval of the Handbook addition
regarding Presidential Leave. Mr. Klaich seconded.
President Crowley reported that during the last Board
of Regents' Workshop he made a report to the Board on
Presidential Leave and Transition. It was the spirit
at that time to design a policy that addresses these
issues.
Mr. Klaich questioned the language in regard to the
Presidents being "expected to" take leave after six
years of service. President Crowley stated that the
Committee had a very difficult time in developing this
language and whether it would be mandatory or volun-
tary leave. The Committee finally compromised with
"expected to".
Chairman Gallagher stated that the Board of Regents
and others expect a lot from its Presidents who main-
tain horrendous schedules, which can sooner or later
cause "burn out" if not careful. Some people who
need the leave the most, often do not realize that
they are in need.
President Maxson suggested that the language be changed
from "expected to" to "may".
Motion carried. Mrs. Sparks abstained.
B. Approved a Handbook addition regarding Presidential
Transition as contained in Ref. D, filed in the Regents'
Office.
President Crowley explained that Presidential Transi-
tion is a nationwide concern and that the main objective
of this policy is to allow the Board of Regents and
Presidents to have the matter resolved before it is
actually needed. He stated that the language of the
proposed policy was mainly derived from the California
State University policy.
Dr. Eardley moved approval of the Handbook addition
regarding Presidential Transition. Mrs. Berkley second-
ed.
Discussion was held on the following concerns expressed
by the Board of Regents:
Presidents who are eligible for retirement and who
choose to retire from UNS after serving as President
for a period of at least five years are entitled to
a leave of absence for a period to be determined at
the time this choice is made.
The possibility of six Presidents on a Regents'
professorship at one time. Would the Board of Re-
gents be paying for each of the salaries? Could
the salary come from the institution?
The possibility of a President remaining on Campus
and not performing to standard and thereby being
of little value to the institution. Should the
Board of Regents pay his salary?
Would the payment to the retired President be a
high salary rate?
Should length of service prior to retirement be
five or ten years? If ten years, it would coincide
with the emeritus status policy.
If President retires as a tenured professor, would
the President then receive double benefits if he
also receives the Regents' Professorship?
Dr. Eardley stated that the Regents' Professorship is
a recognition of service and felt this is a way the
Board of Regents can reward a President after he leaves.
If the salary were to be paid by the institution, it
would lose its title and importance.
President Crowley stated that an annual report would be
required by the Board of Regents from the Regents' Pro-
fessor and the policy would contain a provision that
they could discontinue the professorship at any time.
Mr. Klaich suggested that the language be amended in
II.1 by changing the service time for Presidents from
five years to ten years prior to taking a leave of
absence.
Mr. Klaich moved to amend the language in Ref. D, II.1
by changing the service time from five years to ten
years prior to taking a leave of absence, and II.6 by
adding language to read "To the extent practicable,
and where not inconsistent with assigned teaching
duties at the institution...". Dr. Derby seconded.
President Crowley expressed his concern in that there
are very few Presidents in the country that serve ten
years at one institution. He felt that the policy is
not about present individuals who are serving as
Presidents. Dr. Derby questioned whether the purpose
of the policy is for each current President. President
Crowley stated that the intent of the policy is to have
it in place prior to a presidential transition within
UNS, and that if a President serves a number of years
he should be rewarded.
President Calabro stated that if a President is not
successful as a President, then the President would not
be rewarded. President Calabro stated that he under-
stood the intent of the policy is to reward a productive
and accountable President. He opposes rewarding an un-
productive employee.
Discussion was held comparing tenure of faculty with
tenure of Presidents. The faculty receive tenure after
7 years and suggested that the years of service for
Presidents be equivalent to faculty service years.
President Meacham suggested that the language "in good
standing" be added to II.1. President Crowley caution-
ed the Regents in adopting this language, stating that
a problem could arise if the President had performed
admirably for years, but should not be performing "in
good standing" at the end of his Presidency.
General Counsel Klasic stated that he had a problem
with comparing tenure of Presidents with tenure of
faculty. He stated that former President Leonard
Goodall was tenured and he returned to faculty status.
He pointed out UNLV gave Dr. Goodall leave to prepare
for teaching again and General Counsel Klasic stated
that maybe a policy should be formalized to insure
such a transition period. He questioned, however,
whether the Regents should be responsible for paying
the costs of tenure as that was an institutional
responsibility.
Chairman Gallagher suggested that this issue be sent
back to the Board of Regents and the Presidents for
further discussion, and indicated that the concept of
the policy is acceptable, but the policy needs more
streamlining.
President Taranik suggested that the funding for the
Regents' Professorship be allocated from Regents'
funds during the biennium, and then the institution
would work this funding into its own budget for the
next biennium.
Mr. Klaich stated that he was in favor of this policy,
but thought that tenure between Presidents and faculty
should be distinct. The Board of Regents should want
to treat the retired President with dignity.
President Crowley stated that there are two fundamental
issues: 1) how long should a President serve? and
2) who will bear the cost of the professorship?
President Maxson mentioned that many Presidents retire
at a young age. He did not feel that UNS should be
obligated to support the retired President for the rest
of his life. He felt that the institution should pay
the salary of the retired President, but that the Board
of Regents should pay the salary of a retired Chancel-
lor. In his opinion, the language should remain at
five years of service.
Dr. Hammargren suggested that the language be amended
to seven years of service.
Mr. Klaich asked to divide the amendment to the orig-
inal motion, as follows:
Mr. Klaich moved to amend the language in Ref. D,
II.1 by changing the service time for Presidents
from five years to ten years prior to taking a
leave of absence. Dr. Derby seconded. Regents
Berkley and Hammargren opposed. Motion carried.
Mr. Klaich moved to amend the language in Ref. D,
II.6 by adding language to read "To the extent
practicable, and where not inconsistent with
assigned teaching duties at the institution...".
Dr. Derby seconded. Motion carried.
Mr. Klaich moved approval of the Handbook addition
regarding Presidential Transition, as amended. Dr.
Eardley seconded. Motion carried.
16. Approved Handbook Change, Intellectual Property Policy
Chancellor Dawson requests approval of a Handbook change,
Title 4, Chapter 12, Intellectual Property Policy, as
contained in Ref. F, filed in the Regents' Office.
In February, 1990 the Board approved amendments to the
UNS Intellectual Property Policy Related to Patents, with
a request for further revisions related to copyright policy.
Title 4, Chapter 12, and specifically the section called,
"Copyrightable Works", has subsequently been revised to
better represent the needs of the institutions. It largely
consists of provisions taken from MIT and Stanford Univer-
sity copyright policies which Regent Foley sent to the
Chancellor's Office for its assistance in reviewing this
matter. This revision was sent to the Presidents and
Faculty Senates of the UNS for review and comment.
Section 3 of the revised policy was taken from the MIT
policy. With respect to the copyright policy contained in
Section 5 of the attached proposed amendments, paragraph
1 combines language from the Stanford and MIT policies, and
paragraphs 2-3 and 5-8 are from the Stanford policy. Para-
graph 4 of Section 5 is taken from the previously recom-
mended UNS copyright policy. It was used in place of the
language of the Stanford policy as being less intrusive
and more flexible with respect to the ability of the
author/creator to retain rights in the copyrightable work.
Various other changes in Title 4, Chapter 12 are also re-
flected in the attached proposed amendments. A number of
these changes incorporate suggestions made by the UNR
Faculty Senate and a faculty member at TMCC. Their purpose
is to clarify or make consistent existing language in the
policy.
Mr. Klaich moved approval of the Handbook change regarding
the Intellectual Property Policy for UNS. Mrs. Sparks
seconded. Motion carried.
17. Information Only: Facilities Planning Status Report
Chancellor Dawson and the institution Presidents presented
a status report on the facilities planning for UNS and
the Campuses. Chancellor Dawson introduced Mr. Robert
Ferrari, Director of State Public Works Board, who was in
attendance.
Chancellor Dawson informed the Board that UNS had requested
a new position in the Chancellor's Office for a facilities
planner, and was denied funding by the Legislature.
He reported that a Chancellor's committee has been estab-
lished which addresses the capital construction formula.
Vice Chancellor Ron Sparks chairs the committee of repre-
sentatives from the institutions. The Chancellor's Office
held a workshop on June 13-14, and Dr. Bruce Jensen, con-
sultant, made an excellent presentation.
The consultant's report on Physical Master Planning in-
cluded recommendations for each Campus. The Presidents
and their representatives made presentations and responded
to questions about their Campus activities over the last
two years. The Campus responses are contained in a docu-
ment which is filed in the Regents' Office.
Mrs. Berkley, Mr. Klaich and Mrs. Sparks left the meeting at
various times during the presentations, and returned to the
meeting.
18. Introduction of Ms. Senior USA
Dr. Hammargren introduced Ms. Lori Hargraves, Ms. Senior
Nevada, who was recently named Ms. Senior USA. She will
take advantage of the fee waiver to attend a UNS institu-
tion under the existing senior citizen fee program, and
expressed her appreciation to the Board of Regents.
19. Information Only: Update on System and Campus Academic
Strategic Planning Activities
Chairman Gallagher requested an update on the progress of
system and Campus academic strategic planning activities.
The report, "Academic Planning in Nevada" prepared by the
academic planning consultants was received by the Board of
Regents in February, 1991. Vice Chancellor Warren Fox
explained the timetable of proposed activities for the
coming biennium, as contained in Ref. E. He proposed that
planning activities resulting in system academic priorities
be adopted by the Board of Regents prior to the building of
the biennial budget.
20. Information Only: Completions Report
Director of Institutional Research Karen Steinberg presented
a new report completed by the Chancellor's Office, "Univer-
sity of Nevada System Completions Report". Using data sub-
mitted by the Campuses to the U. S. Department of Education,
the report contains information on the number and levels of
degrees conferred, 1980-1990; the number of degrees con-
ferred by subject area; and Campus summary data on degrees.
The report is filed in the Regents' Office.
21. Approved Handbook Change, Traffic and Parking Regulations,
TMCC
Approved a Handbook change, Title 4, Chapter 13, Section D,
Traffic and Parking Regulations, TMCC, as contained in
Ref. G, filed in the Regents' Office.
Mr. Klaich moved approval of the Handbook change regarding
Traffic and Parking Regulations at TMCC. Dr. Eardley
seconded. Motion carried.
22. Approved Reorganization, WNCC
Approved the reorganization of Western Nevada Community
College to respond to increased enrollment and programs.
The Accreditation Association has also recommended re-
structuring the academic administration. Ref. H is filed
in the Regents' Office.

respond to increased enrollment and programs. Dr. Eardley
seconded. Motion carried.
23. Approved Cloud Seeding Program, DRI
Approved authorization to seek funding from the Interim
Finance Committee on DRI's Cloud Seeding Program.
The cloud seeding funds to be released for expenditure by
Interim Finance were included in the University Budget as
previously approved by the Board of Regents. The legis-
lative finance committees chose to have this budget item
brought before Interim Finance for approval contingent
upon the projected need for cloud seeding as determined in
consultation with the area water masters and climatologists.
Mr. Klaich moved approval to seek funding from the Interim
Finance Committee on DRI's Cloud Seeding Program. Dr.
Derby seconded. Motion carried.
24. Approved Sale of Property, UNR
Approved the sale of property for UNR. In 1967 Domenico
Lambertucci of Tonopah gift deeded 63 patented mining claims
to UNR for the benefit of the Mackay School of Mines. The
claims are located a few miles west of Tonopah.
In 1980 the Board entered into an agreement with Nye County
which would permit the use of some 40 acres of this mining
property for a wastewater treatment plant in exchange for
a 1 1/4 acre parcel of land within the Tonopah city limits.
That exchange is now complete and title to the land is
being conveyed to the Board of Regents.
Dr. Richard Bradt, Dean of Mackay School of Mines, wished
to dispose of the property. The property is to be sold at
a sealed-bid sale. An appraiser was consulted on the
market value and recommended that UNR accept the best
acceptable offer.
Only one bid was received after statewide advertising of
the bid sale was conducted. The Mc Donald's Corporation
submitted a bid of $60,000 for the property.
General Counsel Klasic recommends approval upon review of
the legal documents.
Dr. Hammargren moved approval of the sale of property for
UNR. Mrs. Berkley seconded. Motion carried.
25. Approved Sale of Property, UNLV
Approved the sale of property described as follows:
Lot Five (5) in Block One (1) of PLUNKETT TRACT INDUSTRIAL
SUBDIVISION, as shown by map thereof on file in Book 4,
page 22, in the Office of the County Recorder of Clark
County, Nevada.
The proceeds from the sale will go to the Barrick Lecture
Endowment. The property was appraised at $130,000 and an
offer has been received for $135,000.
General Counsel Klasic recommends approval upon review of
the legal documents.
Mrs. Sparks moved approval of the sale of property for UNLV.
Mrs. Berkley seconded. Motion carried.
26. Information Only: Outstanding Faculty Recognition
At the request of the Board of Regents, each Faculty Senate
Chairman reported on the outstanding faculty achievements
for their respective institutions.
University of Nevada, Las Vegas - UNLV Faculty Senate
Chairman Lori Temple announced the following UNLV out-
standing faculty:
Isabelle Emerson, past Chair of the UNLV Faculty Senate
and a member of the UNLV faculty in the Department of
Music since 1979 has just recently received a grant
from the Nevada Humanities Committee to fund a symposium
for the upcoming Mozart Bicentennial Celebration. The
receipt of the grant is just one of the many projects
she has been working on to ensure the success of the
upcoming celebration. In an effort to involve the
broadest range of talent and provide a comprehensive,
multidisciplinary program, she is helping to coordinate
the contributions of the UNLV Music Department, the
UNLV Theatre Department, the Las Vegas Symphony and
several other community groups. Her efforts in this
area are a reflection of her lifelong interest in and
dedication to the study of Mozart and deserve special
recognition.
James Busser and Cynthia Carruthers, College of Health,
Physical Education and Recreation, recently received a
grant from the Clark County Board of Commissioners to
continue the development of a County Facilities Master
Plan for the Clark County Parks and Recreation Depart-
ment. The project includes making recommendations
about park land and recreational facilities that reflect
the changing needs of the community. Their work will
also result in recommendations for the financing of
such plans. This is the second such grant for Mr.
Busser who has been at the University since 1987 and the
first for Ms. Carruthers who has been at the University
since 1990. Their continued work with the Clark County
Commissioners is yet another outstanding example of
the many ways the University works with and serves the
local community.
University of Nevada, Reno - UNR Faculty Senate Chairman
Elizabeth Raymond announced the following UNR outstanding
faculty:
The following two faculty members from the College of
Arts and Science shared the University's Teacher of

Nevada history, he has contributed tirelessly to the
betterment of UNR and of Nevada. His achievements
include helping to establish the University of Nevada
Press, the Nevada Humanities Committee, and the
Western Folklife Center. In addition he has served
on the Boards of the Nevada Historical Society and
the Nevada Board of Museums and History. This new
award is a modest testimonial to the lasting effect
his efforts have had on building and sustaining Nevada's
cultural community.
Western Nevada Community College - WNCC Faculty Senate

27. Information Only: Outstanding Student Recognition
At the request of the Board of Regents, each Student
Government Officer reported on the outstanding student
achievements for their respective institutions.
University of Nevada, Las Vegas - CSUN President Roderick
Colebrook announced the following UNLV outstanding student:
Vince Izzolo, a Junior who is enrolled in the College
of Hotel Administration, is a hardworking student in
very good standing with this University, both academ-
ically and socially. Mr. Izzolo is an Officer in the
Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, and also works at the
Desert Springs Hospital while pursuing his degree.
Just recently, Mr. Izzolo appeared on the television
game show, "Wheel of Fortune". His active partici-
pation and upbeat manners on this program gave this
University positive, national recognition. He won
this nationally-televised tournament for UNLV, which
resulted in additional scholarships to be allocated to
those students in need of financial assistance.
28. Report and Recommendations of the Academic Affairs Committee
A report and recommendations of the Academic Affairs Com-
mittee meeting, held June 27, 1991, was made by Regent
Joseph M. Foley, Chairman.
(1) Approved the Handbook addition, Title 4, Chapter 14,
Section 19, Review of New International Student
Programs, as contained in Ref. AA-1, which is filed
in the Regents' Office.
This format will provide information on the program,
curriculum, projected enrollment and resources needed
to initiate such study abroad programs.
(2) Tabled the Item: Distinguished Professor Award - After
a lengthy discussion, the Committee tabled the item on
the Distinguished Professor Award.
This proposal was discussed at the May Board of Re-
gents' meeting, and a recommendation was made to place
it on the June Academic Affairs Committee agenda for
further discussion.
The Distinguished Professor Award shall be bestowed
by the Board of Regents to individuals who have dis-
tinguished themselves in their field or in service
to the institution, and shall only be given in ex-
ceptional cases.
Vice Chancellor Warren Fox explained there were really
two questions: 1) whether the Board should approve
Distinguished Professor Awards that are given on the

stated that UNR does not have such award, but this
year created a Distinguished Faculty Award.

the matter was tabled.

by the Board of Regents. The criteria for the award

the 1985 plan. Chancellor Dawson has met with Jim Spoo,

UNS might play in the update. He will be meeting with the
Presidents to solicit their assistance with this important
activity and will keep the Board informed as further devel-
opments are made in regard to the role of UNS.

ized UNR to build an addition to the Edna Brigham building.

construct the addition. The approximate total of the
project is $2 million, with $250,000 being appropriated
