an account on the UNLV Campus.
Several months ago, UNLV requested that the Board
withdraw funds from the Eugene Warner Endowment Fund
to construct a reflecting pool as requested by Mr.
Warner.
The bids came in over budget; therefore, the pool was
not constructed and the funds were not withdrawn from
the endowment fund. In discussions with Mr. Warner
it has been made clear that there was a misunderstand-
ing of the intent of the donor in establishing the
endowment funds. From the funds available, the re-
flecting pool will be constructed and the remainder
of the funds will be used on Middle East Studies.
(13) At the August 1, 1984 meeting, the Board approved the
use of Capital Improvement Fee Funds to construct two
facilities for storage of toxic wastes, and $35,000
was authorized for each. The UNLV facility will re-
quire substantial reconstruction which the State
Public Works Board has estimated will cost $50,000.

Improvement Fee Funds as follows:
UNLV $11,850
CCCC $ 3,150
(14) Approved authorization to use $7000 of Capital Im-
provement Fee Funds to repair the elevator at NNCC.
Ms. Del Papa moved for 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.
Mrs. Sheerin seconded. Motion carried.
2. Chairman's Report
Chairman Klaich informed the Board that he has been meeting
with the Chancellor's staff once a week to discuss System
business and has found it very beneficial.
He indicated that he and Mrs. Gallagher have been spending
a number of hours at the Legislature and commended Mrs.
Gallagher for her support and encouragement.
3. Report on Annual Evaluations
The Presidents reported on the annual evaluations conducted
on their Campuses, as provided by the UNS Code.
A. President Crowley reported that UNR's evaluation has
been in effect for several yers. Public service, teach-
ing and research are evaluated by the College, Depart-
ment and the Dean, but primarily the evaluations are
based on peer review. A Merit Review Committee evalu-
ates the equity of resources and the process. Since
the revision of the Code, the "Satisfactory" category
has been renamed "Commendable". President Crowley
stated there were 62% rated satisfactory last year and
76% this year. There are approximately 1% rated un-
satisfactory each year.
Mrs. Kenney requested that Regents receive copies of
the standard evaluation forms.
B. President Maxson reported that the teaching function was
the most important in the evaluation process and the
most difficult to evaluate. It is easier to evaluate
research and community service than teaching. UNLV has
a mandatory student evaluation form which is forwarded
to the Dean of the College. The evaluation process in-
volves the faculty, Dean and Vice President of Academic
Affairs. Only if there is a problem with an evaluation
does the President become involved. The review process
takes place at the end of 3 years. If there are ques-
tions in regard to renewal of a contract or denial of
tenure, a discussion is held with the faculty member.
President Maxson indicated that 5% were not to be re-
newed this year. He stated that recruitment was very
important and if recruiting is well done, the number of
faculty rated as satisfactory should be high.
Chairman Klaich recessed the meeting to prepare for the UNLV
namings of facilities. The evaluations were resumed after the
presentations.
4. Approved the Naming of the Engineering Building, UNLV
Approved the naming of the Engineering building the Thomas
T. Beam Engineering building. President Maxson introduced
Mr. Thomas T. Beam, who has devoted much of his time and
personal counsel to UNLV.
Mrs. Whitley moved approval to name the Engineering building
at UNLV the Thomas T. Beam Engineering building. Mr.
Karamanos seconded. Motion carried.
5. Approved the Naming of the School of Engineering, UNLV
Approved naming the School of Engineering the Howard R.
Hughes School of Engineering. President Maxson introduced
Mr. John Goolsby, Senior Vice President of Summa Corpora-
tion, and Mr. Will Lummis, Chairman of the Board for Summa
Corporation. The Summa Corporation has donated a very
large corporate gift to UNLV and has devoted much interest
in UNLV Engineering School.
Mrs. Whitley moved approval to name the School of Engineer-
ing at UNLV the Howard R. Hughes School of Engineering. Mr.
Karamanos seconded. Motion carried.
6. Approved the Naming of the Silver Bowl, UNLV
Approved naming the Silver Bowl the Sam Boyd Silver Bowl.
The Boyd family has donated $1.5 million to upgrade the
Silver Bowl. President Maxson indicated that the gift was
not only for the University, but also for the community.
Mrs. Kenney moved approval to name the Silver Bowl at UNLV
the Sam Boyd Silver Bowl. Mrs. Sparks seconded. Motion
carried.
7. Approved the Appointment of Custodian Bank, UNS
Approved the appointment of a custodial bank for the Uni-
versity of Nevada System. The Staff Advisory Committee of
the Regents Investment Committee, presented the following
resolution:
RESOLUTION #85-5
WHEREAS, the University of Nevada System Treasurer's
Office invests the surplus operating cash of the Uni-
versity of Nevada System in money market instruments;
and
WHEREAS, the University of Nevada System Treasurer's
Office uses various custodian and agent accounts to

market debt instruments; and
WHEREAS, the University of Nevada System Treasurer's
Office requires the services of a Nevada Bank with a
New York correspondent bank relationship to serve as a
3rd party holder of money market securities and col-
lateral for money market debt instruments and to cen-
tralize money market transactions on a delivery versus
payment basis; and
WHEREAS, the University of Nevada System, in addition
to money market instruments and collateral for money
market debt instruments, has title to various other
types of non-cash non-endowment assets which are ap-
propriate for holding in safekeeping by a Nevada Cus-
todian Bank; and
WHEREAS, the University of Nevada System Chancellor's
Office requested from Nevada Banks the availability and
cost of custodian services to meet these requirements,
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Regents
appoints Nevada National Bank as the University of Ne-
vada System Custodian Bank; and
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of Regents authorizes
the Deputy Chancellor to close other custodian bank
agency agreements and accounts, including cancellation
of Resolution #84-2; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of Regents
authorizes the Deputy Chancellor to enter into a Non-
Management Agency Agreement with Nevada National Bank
for the purpose of arranging for the custodian services
required for safekeeping of all UNS non-cash, non-endow-
ment assets, including money market securities and col-
lateral for money market debt instruments; and
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the Board of Regents of
the University of Nevada System authorizes the Deputy
Chancellor to designate the appropriate University of
Nevada System Officers to direct the Nevada Custodian
Bank as to any dispositions, acquisitions or substitu-
tions of any assets held in the account, and to direct
investment of cash balances in the account to the
Custodian Bank's Government Securities Cash Management
Fund.
Mr. Karamanos moved approval of the appointment of Nevada
National Bank as the Custodial Bank for UNS and moved ap-
proval of the resolution. Ms. Del Papa seconded. Motion
carried.
3. Report on Annual Evaluations (continued)
C. President Calabro informed the Board that tenured, non-
tenured, teaching and non-teaching faculty are evaluated
each semester by peers, the students and their super-
visors. A management plan is developed at the beginning
of each year for the faculty and a faculty prospectus
also is developed. There are 7 areas covered in this
prospectus: teaching, student advisement, professional
organizations, ability to work, service on committees,
recognition by colleagues and recognition by the com-
munity.
He indicated that there are 155 part-time staff who also
are evaluated each semester. There were 26 tenured fac-
ulty and 17 non-tenured faculty evaluated this year (65%
excellent; 35% commendable; 1% pending further review).
D. President Eardley reported that TMCC has 350 part-time
faculty throughout the Reno-Sparks area. The main con-
cern at TMCC is the teaching ability of these part-time
faculty; therefore, workshops on teaching techniques
are provided by the College. President Eardley empha-
sized that the evaluation process is a tool for improve-
ment, not a tool to dismiss people. The attitude and
the pride of the College are very important to the staff
and faculty. He indicated that 2/3 were rated excellent
and that non-instruction personnel also are evaluated
on the same form. 50 full-time teaching instructors
have been evaluated, with a total of 72 professionals
evaluated. He stated that meritorious pay is a very
sensitive subject at the Community Colleges.
E. President Meacham said CCCC conducts an extensive eval-
uation with student, supervisor, self and administration
involvement. There is an Evaluation and Merit Committee
at CCCC. He stated that 1% were less than satisfactory
and 3% in Administration were less than satisfactory.
He felt that the process was working well at CCCC.
F. President Berg informed the Board that there are 4 phas-
es to NNCC evaluation -- student, peer, self and Admin-
istration. He indicated that if there were only one
person in a particular field at NNCC, TMCC conducts the
peer evaluation based on a syllabi prepared by the one
being evaluated. President Berg stated that 27% were
rated excellent; 50% were rated commendable; 23% were
rated satisfactory.
Mrs. Sheerin requested a report from the Campuses regarding
the success of the new Code review process of tenured facul-
ty.
Chairman Klaich requested a written format for reports be
constructed by the Chancellor's Office.
President Maxson emphasized that the perception of tenure
is negative, but that tenure is a very productive incentive
for research and teaching. The Code has resulted in im-
provement in productivity by the tenured faculty and the
evaluation process is working.
8. New Business
Mr. Karamanos requested discussion on A. B. 356 regarding
limited use of animals for research and prohibits inter-
ference with research. Chairman Klaich stated that only
appropriation bills are supported by the Board, which are
presented in the Board's Legislative Package, and the Board
does not take a stand on other bills.
President Crowley stated that personnel at UNR testified to
protect programs at the School of Medicine. Further, Dean
Robert M. Daugherty was asked to assist in drafting the bill
but President Crowley emphasized that UNR was not the spon-
sor, and there has been no indication by either the Dean or
the President that the Board supports this bill.
Ms. Del Papa expressed her appreciation for the public ap-
pearing before the Board, and indicated to the public that
A. B. 356 was not part of the Legislative Package. She
strongly emphasized that the public comments need to be
heard by the Legislators, not the Board of Regents.
Mr. Dart Anthony, Humane Society Representative, spoke in
opposition of the bill and asked the Board to take a posi-
tion on A. B. 356.
Amendment to Item 8, Page 9
Mr. Karamanos requested discussion on A. B. 356 regarding
limited use of animals for research and prohibits inter-
ference with research.
Mr. Dart Anthony, Humane Society Representative, spoke in
opposition of the bill and asked the Board to take a posi-
tion on A. B. 356.
Chairman Klaich explained that the Board's legislative
package consists largely of appropriation bills, which re-
quire prior approval from the Board. As to other matters
that may not involve an appropriation, but would indirectly
affect the System, the Board may or may not take an offi-
cial position.
President Crowley stated that personnel at UNR testified to
protect programs at the School of Medicine. Further, Dean
Robert M. Dougherty was asked to assist in drafting the bill
but President Crowley emphasized that UNR was not the spon-
sor, and there has been no indication by either the Dean or
the President that the Board supports this bill.
Ms. Del Papa expressed her appreciation for the public ap-
pearing before the Board, and indicated to the public that
A. B. 356 was not part of the Legislative Package. She
strongly emphasized that the public comments need to be
heard by the Legislators, not the Board of Regents.

17. Approved Phase II, Educational Specialist Degree, UNR
Approved the Phase II Proposal for an Educational Specialist
degree at UNR. See Ref. B, filed in the Regents Office.
The College of Education at UNR currently offers an Educa-
tion Specialist Certificate, which requires one year of
course work beyond the Master's degree. This proposal
would change the Certificate to an Ed. S. degree, which
also would require one year of formal training beyond the
Master's degree. Because this is an existing program, no
Phase I Proposal was required.
The Ed. S. degree will be awarded in 3 Departments: Coun-
seling and Guidance Personnel Services, Curriculum and
Instruction, and Education Administration and Higher Edu-
cation, with options offered in 6 areas.
The proposed date of implementation is Fall, 1985.
Estimated financial allocation by the 4th year of the pro-
gram is $24,400. This is primarily for graduate assistants
and faculty hired on letter of appointment who will teach
lower division courses. This will release senior faculty
to teach graduate level classes. Financial support will be
provided through current and requested budgets.
Mr. Karamanos moved approval of the Phase II, Educational
Specialist Degree at UNR. Ms. Del Papa seconded. Motion
carried.
18. Approved the Appointment of Dean, College of Business

President Crowley informed the Board that UNR's Intercol-
legiate Athletic Board submitted several recommendations
which have been or are in the process of being implemented,
such as student fees, compensation for coaches, academic
advising, audits and increased support for women's programs.
The operating budget for women's programs has been increased
by 50%.
The Athletic Board has developed a 5-year plan which in-
cludes these recommendations; however, there are still some
recommendations that have not been addressed because of in-
adequate funding. The Governor has proposed in his budget
to return athletics to the level held 3 years ago. An ad-
ditional $40,000 would allow a conference home for women's
programs. There is also a need for additional monies for
grants-in-aid for men's and women's programs, salaries, a
sports information director for women, and the ski program
(which is currently funded by private donations). There is
a need for combined State and student support in order for
athetics to be successful.
Mrs. Sheerin requested information regarding the status of
academic advising. President Crowley informed her that
there are 2 graduate assistants for the athletic program
who report to the Academic Affairs Vice President. He is
hopeful a full-time advisor can be employed in the future.
President Maxson informed the Board that UNLV's Athletic
Department is operating in the black. He submitted a hand-
out on the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, filed
in the Regents Office, and showed a slide presentation de-
picting the various athletic programs at UNLV.
Mr. Karamanos commended Athletic Director Brad Rothermel
for his work during the last 3 years.
21. Report on ASUN Activities
ASUN President Chris Polimeni presented a report on last
year's ASUN activities, stating that there were 4 areas of
concentration: representation, activities, allocation of
funding and publications. ASUN sponsored 110 clubs and
organizations with $76,000, and also sponsored student
activities costing $100,000. There are 3 publications
sponsored by ASUN: Sagebrush, Brushfire and Artemisia.
Last year, ASUN provided free legal services to 250 stu-
dents.
In response to student needs, ASUN implemented increased
hours at the Library, expansion of the Student Union build-
ing, an escort service for women on the Campus, safety
lights on Virginia Street, inclusion of graduate students
at ASUN activities, banking services for students, a trans-
fer of $100,000 of retained earnings from the Bookstore with
the earned interest providing 42 scholarships, and involve-
ment with ASUN legislation.

as ASUN President during the last year. Mrs. Sparks com-
mended Mr. Polimeni for his involement with ASUN.

dation that the Rodmans' proposal be accepted.

tained in Ref. G, filed in the Regents Office. President
Crowley had requested a clarification of the policies which

27. Approved the Handbook Amendment, Title 4, Chapter 3,
Section 10.7, Sick Leave
Approved deletion of the following policy in the Handbook,

appropriated for its implementation.

authorize voluntary health examinations for in-
dividual faculty members, viz.: one standard health
examination per academic year, including at least
a C. B. C. and a chest x-ray.

cation. She will send a report on the conference to Re-

ful in backgrounding of the System.

pleased with the System presentations.

on April 26 in Las Vegas at the Marina Hotel to discuss

30. New Business
A. Mrs. Gallagher gave a legislative update regarding A.
B. 356 with many testimonies given for and against the
bill. It was reported that the Board of Regents would
not take a stand on this bill, to which Mrs. Gallagher
replied that the Board does not take a stand on every
bill which is concerned with Higher Education, and
emphasized that the Regents support their Administra-
tors of the System institutions.
Mr. Karamanos, as an individual, expressed his disap-
proval of this bill.
Mrs. Gallagher stated that the bill was to be amended
and felt that the committee would pass the amended bill.
Chairman Klaich stated that the Board of Regents are
elected and are authorized to govern the System of
Higher Education. Their authority is over the Presi-
dents who preside over their Deans. The Board is not
elected to preside over the health and welfare of the
State.
Mrs. Gallagher continued her report, stating that the
bill regarding a cap on spending, presented by Senator
Bob Ryan, has not come out of committee. The bill
excludes only student fees and would include the events
centers and bookstores. The school districts have op-
posed this bill.
B. Chairman Klaich extended his appreciation for the hos-
pitality offered the Regents and staff by Mr. and Mrs.
Foley and Mr. and Mrs. Boman.
