2. Chairman's Report
Chairman Gallagher informed the Board that Sunbelt Board-
casting, Channel 4 in Reno and Channel 3 in Las Vegas, has
been developing television spots entitled "Salute to Higher
Education" which will feature outstanding faculty. Chair-
man Gallagher introduced Ms. Janet Rogers of Sunbelt Broad-
casting, who reported that Sunbelt Broadcasting has been
working closely with Chairman Gallagher, Chancellor Dawson,
Public Information Director Pamela Galloway, and the Public
Information Officers at each of the Campuses. The first
television spot was aired on January 31 during the 5:00 -
6:00 P.M. news broadcast. It serves as a news story and
a promotional spot for UNS. Ms. Rogers presented the first
four outstanding faculty who were filmed.
Chairman Gallagher expressed her appreciation and requested
Ms. Rogers to extend to her staff the Board's appreciation.
It was noted that these outstanding faculty are chosen from
the presentations which are given at each Board of Regents'
meeting on outstanding faculty.
Mr. Klaich, once again, questioned the status of the sug-
gested monetary reward to be given for outstanding students
and faculty. Vice Chancellor Fox reported that the Council
of Presidents endorses this type of reward and that he will
be working with the Academic Affairs Council in developing
guidelines.
Chairman Gallagher reported that the task force which has
developed from the science and technology conference held
last August has developed recommendations. These recom-
mendations were released in printed form in January. The
Nevada Industrial Science Engineering and Technology (NISET)
Task Force held meetings on interactive television to dis-
cuss the importance of research in a concerted approach.
A video of one of the meetings was displayed to the Board.
Chairman Gallagher reported that interactive television can
serve as an excellent communications tool throughout the
System and that the System Office is researching this pros-
pect for future use throughout the System.
Dr. Hammargren entered the meeting.
3. Chancellor's Report
Chancellor Dawson reported that the proposal for EPSCoR II
has been submitted and he is hopeful Nevada will be success-
ful in obtaining the grant.
Chancellor Dawson announced that the Investment Advisory
Committee will meet on February 28, 1991, at 12:00 noon
instead of 9:00 A.M.
Chancellor Dawson informed the Board that the Governor has
declared February as Community College Month. TMCC has
developed a video tape on the Community Colleges in Nevada
which will be aired on Channel 5 at 6:00 P.M., Thursday,
February 21. The video tape was shown to the Board of
Regents; Chairman Gallagher commended TMCC on the excellent
video tape.
4. Legislative Workshop
A. Review of Governor's Recommendation for UNS Biennial
Budget - Vice Chancellor Sparks reviewed the Governor's
Recommendations for the UNS 1991-93 Biennial Budget,
which is filed in the Regents' Office. He stated that
the Governor's Recommendation for 1991-92 for the UNS
Operating Budget is $238,788,552 which is a 18.15% dif-
ference over the 1990-91 Operating Budget and for 1992-
93 is $255,993,788, a 7.21% difference over the 1991-92
Governor's Recommendation. The Governor has recommended
an 18% increase, approximately 10% of which is for
growth; UNS had requested a 27% increase in the base
budget.
Vice Chancellor Sparks reviewed the "Special Appropria-
tions and Authorizations" contained in the document.
The total for equipment, Management Information System,
EPSCoR II State Matching Funds, and Teacher Education
Incentive Grants is $15,837,387. The document also
contains the Governor's recommendation on Capital
Improvement Requests. The minor repairs and improve-
ments consist of $10,000,000. The cumulative total of
the minor repairs and improvements, preplanned projects
from 1989 Legislature, and the 1991-93 recommended proj-
ects is $82,357,317. The Governor has recommended
$5,000,000 from the 1991-93 Estate Tax Funds and a
schedule outlining the recommendations is included in
the document.
B. UNS Budget Appeals - A number of budget items UNS feels
are essential to preserve quality higher education in
the State of Nevada were not included in the Governor's
Recommendations. Vice Chancellor Sparks reviewed the
appeals as approved by UNS Presidents for possible
presentation to the State Legislature.
Vice Chancellor Sparks distributed a handout showing the
Nevada general fund appropriations for the 1989-91 Bi-
ennium and the Governor's Recommendation for the 1991-93
Biennium. He indicated that if the State revenues are
not increased as projected by the Governor, the UNS
budget increase will likely be around 4% rather than
18%.
Mrs. Berkley stated that it was premature to think
about options towards the budget. She felt that we
should continue to strongly relay our needs to the
Legislature. Vice Chancellor Sparks agreed, and said
he felt if we were to change now it would send mixed
signals to the Legislature.
Mr. Klaich suggested that the following read as the
introduction to the "Legislative Appeals" section of
the document:
"The Council of Presidents recommend appealing to
the Legislature for funding of the following activ-
ities which are not included in the Governor's
budget."
He stated that the Board should continue to articulate
need for salary/compensation increases for employees.
C. Discussion of Governor's Proposed State Revenue
Increase - It is understood that the State may require
additional revenue sources in order to fund the Gov-
ernor's budget recommendations for 1991-93. The Board
discussed its role in securing such resources.
Vice Chancellor Sparks explained how the Governor's
proposed Business Activity Tax (BAT Tax) would increase
the revenues for the State. Chairman Gallagher stated
that the Board of Regents has not taken a stand for
any particular tax and has been advised that it is
too early to do so, however, UNS should continue to
reiterate its needs to the Legislature.
Dr. Hammargren felt that a statement could be made in
support of the Governor's recommendation, without
compromising the Regents' position on any other pro-
posed source of revenue. Mrs. Sparks agreed and stated
that the Board may wish to formally state that the
budget must be funded and that UNS would support some
type of new funding in order for this to be achieved.
Mr. Klaich stated that prior to the Governor's State of
the State address it had been indicated throughout the
State that there would be no new taxes. He felt that
UNS should support the Governor and his courageous
efforts to obtain additional funding. The burden has
now been placed on the Legislators. Mrs. Berkley stated
that UNS should support additional taxes in order to
obtain full funding for the UNS budget.
Chairman Gallagher stated that the business people are
now backing away from this tax concept after initially
agreeing with the Governor, and indicated a need to
draw them back to support this tax.
Mrs. Sparks suggested that a resolution be written from
the Board to support the Governor's new tax.
Dr. Hammargren moved for the Board of Regents to support
the Governor's recommendations on the Business Activity
Tax; however, if the Legislature should find the tax
not advisable, then the Legislature should find an al-
ternative solution. Mrs. Berkley seconded. Motion
carried.
President Crowley questioned whether UNS would testify
on the BAT Tax at a legislative hearing. Mr. Klaich
affirmed that UNS would be available if called upon to
testify in favor of the BAT Tax.
Chairman Gallagher requested General Counsel Klasic,
Dr. Hammargren, President Crowley and Vice Chancellor
Sparks to prepare a resolution stating the Board of
Regents' support for the Business Activity Tax as stated
in the above motion. This resolution will then be pre-
sented to the Legislature.
Mr. Klaich presented the following resolution in support
of the Business Activity Tax:
RESOLUTION #91-3
WHEREAS, the University of Nevada System is the
fastest growing higher education system in the
United States, and
WHEREAS, upon recommendation of the Board of Regents
the Governor has proposed a budget which fairly
meets the needs of postsecondary education for the
next biennium in the State of Nevada, and
WHEREAS, because of this tremendous growth in the
System, the needs of higher education in Nevada
cannot be adequately funded from current state
revenues, and
WHEREAS, the aforesaid budget proposed by the Gov-
ernor is predicated upon substantial new sources
of revenue, and
WHEREAS, the Governor has proposed the enactment
of a business activity tax as a new source of
revenue to fund the System and State budgets, now
therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the Board of Regents strongly sup-
ports the Governor's recommended budget, including
his recommendation for a Business Activity Tax,
provided however, that if the Legislature should
find the Business Activity Tax not advisable and
declines to enact it, then the Board of Regents
strongly encourages the Legislature to develop
alternative funding sources which would raise a
substantially equivalent amount of revenue neces-
sary to fund the System's recommended budget.
Dr. Hammargren moved approval of the resolution that
supports the Business Activity Tax. Mr. Klaich second-
ed. Motion carried.
The open meeting recessed at 11:45 A.M. to move into committee
meetings. The regular meeting reconvened at 12:10 P.M. Thursday,
February 14, 1991 with all Regents present except Regent Foley.
5. Approved UNS 1991-95 Legislative Planning Report
NRS 396.505 calls for the Board of Regents to prepare a
comprehensive system plan to be submitted to the Legisla-
ture. Such planning reports are published on a biennial
basis as update to "Nevada 2000: Future Directions for
Nevada's Colleges and Universities".
The "University of Nevada System Planning Report: 1991-95"
identifies issues which will be important to the UNS in
the next decade, including the need to provide the neces-
sary resources to maintain access and high quality during
a period of tremendous growth. The report outlines the
mission of the System and Campuses, and presents Campus
academic and budget priorities over the next four years.
An overview of students, degrees awarded, and enrollment
projections provides a profile of the UNS. The first
chapter, "Issues for the Nineties", contains a discussion
of issues such as the impact of growth on our Campuses,
maintaining quality in our academic programs, and provid-
ing access to students.
Mrs. Whitley moved approval of the UNS Planning Report:
1991-95. Dr. Hammargren seconded. Motion carried.
6. Personnel Session
Upon motion by Mr. Klaich, seconded by Dr. Eardley, the
Board moved to a closed personnel session for the purpose
of discussing the character, alleged misconduct, profes-
sional competence or physical or mental health of a person
in accordance with NRS 241.030.
The Personnel Session was continued on Friday, February 15,
1991.
The open meeting reconvened at 2:20 P.M. Thursday, February 14,
1991, with all Regents present except Regents Berkley and Foley.
The open meeting recessed at 2:24 P.M. to move into committee
meetings. The regular meeting reconvened at 8:14 A.M. Friday,
February 15, 1991 with all Regents present except Regent Foley.
Chancellor Dawson introduced Dr. Rolfe Kerr, Commissioner of
Higher Education, Utah Higher Education System.
7. Regents' Workshop
The Board met in workshop session in the Grand Hall, Richard
Tam Alumni Center, University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Academic Planning Workshop - In 1986 the Board of Regents
adopted a calendar and time frame for Campus Master Plans,
and established a planning cycle. The calendar called for
all institutions to complete planning documents in 1990.
During the past year, both Campus and System academic plan-
ning activities have been undertaken, and the 7 institutions
have finalized their academic plans.
Academic planning consultants were engaged to review these
plans and provide comments and recommendations. In addi-
tion, the consultants have reviewed the goals for the UNS
and provided recommendations concerning statewide planning
for higher education in Nevada.
The academic planning consultants, Dr. Harold L. Enarson,
President Emeritus of the Ohio State University, and Dr.
Douglas W. Burris, Deputy Chancellor of California Community
Colleges, presented observations and recommendations, and
led a general discussion on academic planning. (Dr. Daniel
Fallon, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts at Texas A & M
University, was unable to attend the meeting.)
Chancellor Dawson thanked the consultants for their advice
on the UNS academic plan. Their expertise will benefit the
entire System.
The consultants' observations were highlighted by the
following objectives and additional statements:
A statewide perspective to guide the development of
the University of Nevada System as a whole -- a per-
spective that will foster the crafting of useful, clear
and constructive role and mission statements for each
constituent unit and for the System.
A strong office of the Chancellor to assist the Regents
in guiding the development of the System in a time of
explosive growth -- a time of fragile opportunity and
one that will never recur.
Decisions about the relative rates of growth of the Com-
munity College sector and the two senior Universities.
Decisions about the extent to which the Community Col-
leges should serve the expressed needs of their constit-
uency.
A persuasive coordinated strategy for developing, main-
taining and improving graduate education and research
at the senior Universities.
An admission standards policy.
Major strengthening of the relationship between the
Desert Research Institute and the senior Universities,
making more effective use of the teaching and research
resources at DRI.
A higher degree of cooperation between the institutions
of the System, exploiting the advantages of interdepend-
ence.
Sharpened academic priorities reflected in academic
planning.
A planning cycle that is linked to the budget cycle,
each reinforcing the other.
Further development of an integrated management data-
base.
Development of an integrated strategic planning process.
Greater appreciation by the public and the political
leadership that the expansion of opportunity and the
enhancement of quality in the University of Nevada
System is not only essential, but will cost a great
deal of money.
A good systemwide planning process normally takes several
years to come together. An integrated management informa-
tion system must be developed. Clear planning measures must
be addressed and coordinated at each stage of the planning
process. Roles and mission statements must be sharpened
and brought into focus. A planning calendar has to be
designed, with cyclical review points for both development
and evaluation of outcomes.
The entire process, built from the ground level up, must
be brought together into one grand vision that inspires
to a bright future for the citizens of Nevada.
The Board of Regents has exercised exemplary leadership in
calling for sound academic planning at a historic time in
Nevada's development. Faculty, staff and students within
the constituent units of the University have responded by
working diligently under difficult conditions to prepare
academic Master Plans as part of this process. It is a
good beginning. The next steps may be more difficult, but
they promise extraordinary benefits for all parties if they
can be sustained.
8. Nominations for 1990 Distinguished Nevadan Awards

14. Information Only: Amendments to Board of Regents' Bylaws
The proposed amendments to the Board of Regents' Bylaws,
as contained in Ref. B, filed in the Regents' Office, were
presented as an information item only, with Board action
scheduled for the April 4-5, 1991 meeting.
The proposed amendments include the addition of the Research
Affairs Committee, a Board of Regents' standing committee.
This Committee shall review procedures and provide oversight
and guidance for the development, review and implementation
within UNS of statewide or inter-institutional research
initiatives, applied research and development, University-
Industry technology transfer and technology-based economic
development and shall recommend policies concerning the same
to the Board.
After discussion the amendment was rewritten as follows and
was considered as the first reading with action scheduled
for the April 4-5, 1991 meeting.
The Research Affairs Committee shall facilitate the
development, review and implementation within the
University of Nevada System of research initiatives
that are statewide or inter-institutional in nature,
including applied research and development, University-
Industry technology transfer and technology-based
economic development, and shall recommend policies
concerning the same to the Board. The committee shall
consist of at least three members of the Board of
Regents. The principal research administrators of the
two Universities and the Desert Research Institute
shall serve the committee in an advisory capacity.
The institutional Presidents and the Chancellor shall

15. Approved Handbook Change, Leave of Absence Without Pay
Approved a Handbook change, Title 4, Chapter 3, Section 8,
Leave of Absence Without Salary. Chancellor Dawson stated
that this change will allow UNS to pay health benefits,
provided the leave will be of benefit to the UNS.
Mr. Klaich moved approval of the Handbook change regarding
leave of absence without pay. Dr. Eardley seconded.
After discussion regarding the permissive language, General
Counsel Klasic corrected the policy in order to provide
consistency throughout the System to read as follows:
1. Leave of absence without salary, for periods up to and
including one calendar year, may be granted by the
President to faculty members who wish to absent them-
selves from their institutional duties to undertake
research work, advanced study, consultation which
benefits the University of Nevada System, teacher ex-
change and governmental service. Approval of the con-
ditions under which the leave is authorized shall be in
writing and a copy given to the applicant. Only fac-
ulty members who are authorized to take a leave of ab-
sence without salary for the above stated reasons and
who are otherwise eligible to participate in the State
of Nevada's group insurance program shall have their
premiums paid by the University of Nevada System as
authorized by NRS 287.044, unless they choose to pay
the premiums themselves.
Mr. Klaich amended the motion to provide for a mandatory
and systemwide policy for leave of absence without pay as
stated in the above language. Dr. Eardley seconded.
Motion carried.
16. Approved Leases, UNR

mittee meeting, held February 14, 1991 was made by Regent
Jill Derby.
(1) Approved the MS Family Nurse Practitioner at UNR.
Ref. AA-1 is filed in the Regents' Office.
This masters program will prepare graduates to perform
primary health care services including the promotion
of health, prevention of disease and early detection
and treatment of disease.
This program will help address a continuing demand for
health care services in rural Nevada, as documented by
AHEC studies. As well, effective in 1992, new Nurse
Practitioners will be required to have masters prepar-
ation of national certification.
The University of Nevada, Reno intends to seek federal
grant support to begin the program. The proposal would
be submitted following the Regents' meeting.
Chancellor Dawson recommended that this program be
approved pending funding.
(2) Approved the School of Social Work at UNR. Ref. AA-2
is filed in the Regents' Office.
This proposal will change the existing Department of
Social Work to the School of Social Work at UNR.
One of the requirements necessary to satisfy accredi-
tation requirements for the new Master of Social Work
program is that a school designation be established.
A Director will administer the program, and no change
in administrative relationships will be made within
the College of Human and Community Sciences. No
additional facilities or resources are required.
(3) Approved the School of Social Work at UNLV. Ref. AA-3
is filed in the Regents' Office.
This proposal will change the existing Department of
Social Work to the School of Social Work at UNLV.
The Master of Social Work degree was initiated at UNLV
in 1989. In seeking accreditation for this program,
the Council on Social Work Education recommends a
school designation for all graduate programs. The
existing BSW and MSW programs will remain in the
College of Liberal Arts, under the direction of the
current Director and program coordinators. No addi-
tional facilities or resources are required.
(4) Approved the MS Sport and Leisure Service Management
at UNLV. Ref. AA-4 is filed in the Regents' Office.
This proposal will change the title of the existing
Master in Education in Administration and Sport
Management to the Master of Science in Sport and
Leisure Service Management.
In response to changes in the administration of Sport
and Leisure Services field, which now require a greater
understanding of management theory and practice, the
program, which was originally offered by the College of
Education has been revised to provide a more direct
relationship with the College of Business and Econom-
ics. No additional facilities, equipment or resources
are needed.
(5) Approved the Proposed Changes in Community College
Certificate and Degree Requirements. This change will
require a change in the Board of Regents' Handbook.
The Community College Presidents have agreed to make
changes in the courses and groups of courses required
for the Certificate, Associate of Arts degree, Associ-
ate of Science degree, Associate of Applied Science
degree, and the Associate of General Studies degree.
Total units for the certificate will remain at 30
credits and total units for an Associate degree at
60 credits. The proposed changes can be found in
Ref. AA-5, filed with the permanent minutes.
The proposed changes clarify units needed to complete
the Certificate or Associate degree. Further, they
bring these degrees in line with requirements of the
accreditation association, the Northwest Association
of Schools and Colleges.

tions of the Academic Affairs Committee. Mrs. Whitley
