AND THIS HONOR MEANS A LOT.

IT'S HUMBLING.

AND AS YOU HONOR ME SO, I'M GRATEFUL TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU FOR SUPPORTING ME DURING MY TENURE AS CHANCELLOR.

I FELT LIKE I MADE MORE FRIENDSHIPS WITH YOU ALL DURING THAT PROCESS AS WELL.

AND IT HAS BEEN MY DISTINCT PLEASURE AND PRIVILEGE TO SERVE AS THE CHANCELLOR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO, COLORADO SPRINGS.

I'VE BEEN WORKING AT UCCS FOR OVER 32 YEARS AND PRETTY MUCH GAVE MY ENTIRE WORK LIFE TO THIS AMAZING UNIVERSITY.

AND THROUGHOUT MY CAREER, MY FAMILY STOOD BY ME, SUPPORTING ME AND CHEERING ME ON EVERY STEP OF THE WAY IN EVERY ROLE I HELD AT THE UNIVERSITY.

SO, I WANT TO START THANKING MY MOTHER, WHO HAS A MAJOR PRESENCE IN MY LIFE.

ALWAYS SHARE WITH PEOPLE.

WE WENT THROUGH A LOT OF GOOD TIMES AND NOT SO GOOD TIMES, BUT WE STAYED TOGETHER.

I WANT TO FINALLY EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE TO ALL THE FACULTY, STAFF, STUDENTS AND ADMINISTRATORS AT UCCS, WHOM I HAD THE HONOR TO SERVE AS WELL AS THE MANY WONDERFUL LEADERS, ALUMNI AND THE COMMUNITY OF COLORADO SPRINGS.

I'M PROUD OF THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS WE HAVE MADE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, ESPECIALLY AS SOME OF THOSE WERE MENTIONED LEADING THE CAMPUS THROUGH THE COVID YEARS.

I KNOW THERE IS A LOT MORE GOOD TO COME AND I KNOW THE AMAZING FACULTY AND STAFF WILL HELP MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

I KNOW HOW HARD JENNIFER IS WORKING TO ENSURE THAT UC'S SUCCESS CONTINUES, SO I WISH YOU THE VERY BEST, JENNIFER, AS YOU LEAD ON.

[00:10:08]

AS I WAS SHARING WITH SOMEONE, I DID MY PHD TO BECOME A FACULTY MEMBER, AND SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY I LOST MY WAY AND BECAME A DEAN FOR ABOUT 12.5 YEARS AND THEN CHANCELLOR FOR OVER SIX YEARS.

SO NOW I'M FINDING MY WAY BACK.

SO NEXT YEAR, FALL, I'LL COME BACK TO THE CLASSROOM.

I'M STILL A TEACHER AT HEART.

SO AGAIN, ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR THIS HONOR.

I SURE WILL CHERISH IT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

YOU BROUGHT ME IN AS A ROOKIE.

YOU TAUGHT ME A LOT ABOUT WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE AN EDUCATION, AND I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT.

I HOPE THAT OUR FRIENDSHIP CONTINUES.

AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP SUPPORT YOU ALONG THE WAY, DON'T HESITATE TO CALL ME.

AND AS I HEAR YOU TALKING ABOUT THAT FULL CIRCLE MOMENT, YOU KNOW, WE HEARD IN THE RESOLUTION ALL THE AMAZING WORK YOU'VE DONE, PARTNERING WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO AT COLORADO SPRINGS AND THE COLORADO SPRINGS COMMUNITY AND SOUTHERN COLORADO.

AND I THINK AT THE HEART OF THAT IS YOUR HEART FOR STUDENT EXPERIENCE AND WHAT AN EDUCATION CAN PROVIDE FOR OUR STUDENTS.

AND SO GRATEFUL FOR THAT.

I THINK THE LIVES THAT YOU'VE INSPIRED AND CHANGED THROUGH YOUR VISION OF WHAT AN EDUCATION CAN DO IS WONDERFUL AND SO GRATEFUL TO CALL YOU A FRIEND AND LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO SEE YOU AND LATA AND YOUR FAMILY.

A LOT HAPPENED FOR THE MOUNTAIN LIONS AND FOR THE STUDENTS AND FOR THE CITY OF COLORADO SPRINGS WHILE YOU WERE THERE.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

NOW THAT YOU'RE NOT CHANCELLOR, I WILL EXPECT THAT MOTORCYCLE TRIP TO GRAND JUNCTION.

THERE'S ROOM THERE FOR THAT.

AND, YOU KNOW, THE OTHER THING THAT WE DIDN'T DO WAS WE DIDN'T GET TO A BASEBALL GAME.

BUT KEEP THAT HAT FOR ME.

AND WHEN YOU EITHER THIS YEAR OR THIS SPRING OR NEXT YEAR WHEN YOU'RE BACK AS A TEACHER, WE'LL DO THAT ALSO.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK.

YOU'VE MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE.

THANK YOU. REGENT GALLEGOS CHANCELLOR MARKS VENKAT, YOU WERE THE VERY FIRST PERSON THAT I MET AT THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO BECAUSE YOU CHAIRED MY SEARCH COMMITTEE IN THE WINTER OF 2020, AND IT WAS PRETTY COVID, OR AT LEAST WHEN WE WERE ELBOW BUMPING AND, AND YOU WELCOMED ME.

AND I FEEL LIKE YOU'VE WELCOMED ME OVER THE LAST THREE PLUS YEARS TOGETHER AS A FRIEND, AS A COLLEAGUE, AS SOMEBODY TO CALL WHEN WE JUST WANTED TO TALK THINGS THROUGH. SO EVEN THOUGH OUR TIME TOGETHER AS CO CHANCELLORS IS COMING TO AN END, OUR FRIENDSHIP WILL NOT.

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE GIVEN TO ME AS A COLLEAGUE AND A FRIEND.

THANK YOU, MICHEL.

ANYONE ELSE? YES, CHANCELLOR.

WE'VE WORKED TOGETHER NOW FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

AND YOU'VE BEEN A GREAT PARTNER.

YOU KNOW, COMING UP WITH A JOINT PROGRAM FOR PTA HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL THING, I THINK, FOR THE STATE AND FOR THE REGION.

AND YOU'VE BEEN A FRIEND.

YOU HAVE TO PROMISE ME THAT IF I COME AND JOIN YOU FOR COLORADO AT COLORADO SPRINGS, WE DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE, WHAT WAS THE NAME OF IT? THE RESTAURANT, THE CASBAH CAFE OR THE SERVICE.

THAT'S REFERRING TO A RATHER INFAMOUS DINNER THAT THERE ARE STORIES ABOUND.

BUT ANYWAY, YOU'VE BEEN A GREAT FRIEND AND I WISH YOU NOTHING BUT THE BEST.

AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN EVER DO AT SHOOTS, DON'T HESITATE TO ASK.

THANK YOU, JENNIFER AND VENKAT, I WANT TO BEGIN BY THANKING YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP DURING ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT TIMES WE ALL FACED GOING THROUGH COVID AND HOW YOU APPROACHED COVID WITH YOUR FACULTY AND YOUR STUDENTS AND YOUR STAFF.

AND THAT TOOK REAL LEADERSHIP AND COURAGE.

AND I APPLAUD YOU FOR THAT.

[00:25:08]

WITH TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE CONVERGING IN OUR FOUR CAMPUSES, THE FALL SEMESTER IS OFF TO A GREAT START AFTER A TERRIFIC AND BUSY SUMMER AT CU.

SO WHAT HAVE THE REGENTS BEEN DOING THIS SUMMER? A LOT. THE REGENTS KICKED OFF OUR SUMMER OUTREACH TOUR IN MAY WITH A VISIT TO COLORADO'S EASTERN PLAINS.

I JOINED REGENTS MCNULTY SPIEGEL VAN DRILL ON A THREE DAY TRIP THAT INCLUDED STOPS IN BURLINGTON, KIT CARSON, HUGO AND LYMAN.

AND WE MANAGED TO MISS SOME HAIL, WHICH WAS PRETTY NICE, BARELY THANKS TO THE CAMPUS LEADERS AND FACULTY WHO JOINED US ON THIS PRODUCTIVE TRIP IN JUNE.

AND JUST LAST WEEK I JOINED PRESIDENT SOLOMON REGENT CHAVEZ, MONTARA SMITH, CHANCELLOR MARKS, CHANCELLOR DISTEFANO AND OTHERS AS WE VISITED SEVERAL COMMUNITIES IN SUMMIT LAKE AND EAGLE COUNTIES.

ON ALL OF THESE OUTREACH TRIPS, WE MET WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS, PUBLIC SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, ELECTED OFFICIALS, HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, BUSINESS LEADERS AND STUDENTS AND FAMILY. THESE TRIPS ARE INCREDIBLY VALUABLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO CONNECT WITH COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE STATE, TO STRENGTHEN EXISTING RELATIONSHIPS AND TO BUILD NEW CONNECTIONS. OUR OUTREACH WORK ALLOWS US TO ENGAGE DIRECTLY WITH COLORADANS AND LEARN HOW WE CAN BETTER SERVE THEIR NEEDS WHILE ALSO EDUCATING THEM ABOUT CU, WHAT WE OFFER AND THE INCREDIBLE THINGS HAPPENING ON ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES.

I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO TONY SALAZAR CUZ VICE PRESIDENT FOR OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT AND HIS TEAM FOR PUTTING TOGETHER WONDERFUL TRIPS PACKED WITH PRODUCTIVE AGENDAS.

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ON YOUR HONOR AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS.

YES. AND TO TONY, WHO DIDN'T GET FLOWERS.

I NOTICED. BUT BEAUTIFUL POCKET SQUARE THERE, MAN.

AND CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AS WELL.

THIS IS THIS THIS IS TRULY A SPECIAL TIME.

AND I FORGOT TO PRESS PRINT ON MY COMPUTER THIS MORNING.

SO, I'M LOOKING AT MY SCREEN HERE A LITTLE BIT.

BUT AND IT'S BEEN A REALLY AWESOME SUMMER AS RENNISON DISCUSSED, WE'VE HAD THREE GREAT OUTREACH TRIPS AND I'M SO THRILLED THAT THAT WE'RE CONTINUING OUR SUMMERTIME TRADITION OF GOING OUT AND CONNECTING WITH DIFFERENT PARTS OF COLORADO.

THE LAST TRIP TO THE MOUNTAIN COMMUNITIES WAS IT JUST ENDED, AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT.

WE ALL KEEP ON TALKING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH A GREAT TRIP.

AND SO, THANKS TO TONY AND ESPECIALLY TO CHRISTIAN REESE, WHO DID ALL THE PLANNING FOR THAT TRIP AND WHO REALLY PUT TOGETHER A GREAT, GREAT TIME FOR ALL OF US.

AND IT WAS A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF HOW OUR OUTREACH CAN ENGAGE SO MANY PIECES OF THE CAMPUS OF THE CU COMMUNITY TO REALLY ADD VALUE TO THE WORK WE DO.

AND SPECIAL THANKS TO REGENT, TO CHANCELLOR MARKS AND CHANCELLOR DISTEFANO FOR PARTICIPATING ON THE TRIP.

WE ALSO AND THESE AND OUR OUTREACH WORK OF COURSE CONTINUES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND THEY'RE JUST NOT MULTI-DAY TRIPS, BUT EVERY DAY WE'RE WORKING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MAINTAINING AND BUILDING CONNECTIONS WITH THE PEOPLE OF COLORADO SO THAT WE CAN DELIVER ON OUR GOALS, WHICH IS TO REFLECT THE DIVERSITY OF COLORADO AND TO REALLY CONNECT WITH THE PEOPLE OF COLORADO AND LISTEN TO WHAT THEY WANT FROM US AND ALSO SHARE WITH THEM WHAT WE CAN PROVIDE FOR THEM AND TO SHOW THE PEOPLE OF COLORADO THAT THERE IS A PLACE FOR THEM HERE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO.

WE, LOTS OF THINGS GOING ON.

SO, YOU ALL MIGHT HAVE SEEN OR MAYBE YOU WILL SEE THAT THERE'S A GREAT ARTICLE IN CU CONNECTIONS TODAY ABOUT THE RECENT SUPREME COURT DECISION AND THE IMPACT WE THINK IT WILL AND WON'T HAVE ON THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO.

SO PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

I THINK THAT THAT THERE THERE'S A PERCEPTION OUT THERE OF WHAT THE IMPACT OF THAT SUPREME COURT DECISION WILL BE ON THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO.

AND THE ACTUAL IMPACT IS QUITE DIFFERENT.

AND SO PLEASE TAKE A LOOK.

WE ARE INCREDIBLY COMMITTED TO OUR WORK TO REFLECT THE DIVERSITY OF COLORADO AND TO CREATE CAMPUS COMMUNITIES WHERE EVERYBODY FEELS LIKE THEY BELONG.

AND OUR COMMITMENT WILL NOT WANE.

AND OUR AND OUR AND THE PROGRAMS THAT WE'VE PUT IN PLACE AND WILL CONTINUE TO PUT IN PLACE TO SUPPORT THAT WORK ARE THRIVING.

AND AND WE WILL THEY WILL CONTINUE TO THRIVE.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE BOARD IS COMMITTED TO, SOMETHING I'M COMMITTED TO AND SOMETHING THE CHANCELLORS ARE COMMITTED TO AS WELL.

SO, PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

AND PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD THAT THAT THAT WE ARE WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN TO TO MAKE PROGRESS IN THAT SPACE.

A COUPLE OTHER THINGS I JUST WANTED TO ANOTHER CELEBRATION IS SPACE COMMAND.

[00:35:05]

I LOVE THAT SPACE COMMAND IS STAYING IN COLORADO AND IT IS THE ULTIMATE EXAMPLE OF WHAT BIPARTISANSHIP CAN PRODUCE.

SO, OUR ENTIRE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION, WHILE THEY DON'T AGREE ON MUCH, THEY ALL AGREED ON THIS.

AND WE HAD UNANIMOUS SUPPORT FROM THEM AND FROM BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND CAMPUSES AROUND THE STATE.

AND REGARDING SPACE COMMAND.

AND I AM THRILLED THAT SPACE COMMAND WILL BE STAYING RIGHT HERE IN COLORADO AND RIGHT THERE IN COLORADO SPRINGS.

SO, CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF US BECAUSE WE'RE AWESOME.

AND WE GOT THAT DONE. THANK GOODNESS.

ANOTHER THING I JUST WANTED TO MENTION THAT IS ALSO SOMETHING THAT YOU'LL BE HEARING MORE ABOUT IS A RENEWED PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DANIELS FOUNDATION. AND WE RECENTLY ENTERED INTO AN MOU WITH DANIELS TO BRING CLARITY AS TO HOW OUR RELATIONSHIP IS GOING TO WORK IN THE FUTURE SO THAT WE CAN GUARANTEE THAT THE STUDENTS WHO RECEIVED DANIELS SCHOLARSHIPS ALL GET THEIR ENTIRE COST OF ATTENDANCE COVERED ON ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES.

AND SO THANKS TO THE CAMPUSES, TO THE CHANCELLORS, TO THEIR TEAMS, AND TO CHAD MARTORANO, WHO WORKED WITH DANIELS TO HELP MAKE THAT THAT POSSIBLE.

AND ESPECIALLY THANK YOU TO DANIELS, BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES WHO ARE MAKING THIS A PRIORITY.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THEM.

ONE THING AND I WON'T TALK ABOUT IT TOO MUCH, BUT BECAUSE I SUSPECT CHANCELLOR ELLIMAN WILL MENTION IT DURING HIS REMARKS.

BUT THE ANSCHUTZ ACCELERATION INITIATIVE IS GOING REALLY WELL.

AND AND I THINK THAT YOU YOU HAD ABOUT 3 OR 4 TIMES MORE APPLICANTS THAN YOU EXPECTED AND THAT THE EXTRAORDINARY CREATIVITY AND BIG THINKING THAT'S COMING OUT.

SHE'S CAMPUS NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME.

SO THANK YOU TO THE CHANCELLOR FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP THERE, AND I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK IN CHOOSING WHICH ONES TO FUND, BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE A HARD CHOICE.

WE HEARD A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ABOUT CU BOULDER ATHLETICS.

YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE TALKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT FOOTBALL THESE DAYS.

AND SO, WE'RE ALL LOOKING FORWARD TO SATURDAY.

AND SO, CONGRATULATIONS TO PHIL AND TO THE ENTIRE CU BOULDER COMMUNITY AND OUR STUDENT ATHLETES ESPECIALLY AND OUR AND OUR WONDERFUL COACH.

BUT SO, I'M SO GRATEFUL THAT REGENT RENNISON MENTIONED THE OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE IN SO MANY OF OUR SPORTS AND THE OTHER THE OTHER GAME, THE OTHER SPORTS DON'T GET QUITE AS MUCH OF ATTENTION, BUT THOSE ATHLETES WORK JUST AS HARD AND THEY ARE FUN AND EXCITING TO WATCH.

AND SO PLEASE, I ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO GO AND WATCH A VOLLEYBALL GAME OR TWO BECAUSE THOSE ARE ACTION PACKED FUN THINGS TO WATCH AND AND SOCCER AS WELL AND SO MANY OTHER SPORTS ON BOTH CAMPUSES.

AND SO WITH THAT, I THINK I AM GOING TO KICK IT OVER TO THE CHANCELLORS AND ASK THEM TO GIVE BRIEF UPDATES FROM THEIR FOR THEIR CAMPUSES.

AND SINCE WE'RE IN MICHELLE'S HOUSE, WE WILL HAND IT OVER TO YOU FIRST.

THANK YOU. WELL, WELCOME, REGENTS, TO BACK TO DENVER.

WE'RE DELIGHTED TO HAVE YOU HERE.

AND THANKS TO BOTH THE SYSTEM AND THE CU DENVER TEAM FOR ALL OF THE OPERATIONAL SUPPORT THAT MAKES THESE MEETINGS HAPPEN.

IF YOU WERE HERE ON LAWRENCE STREET, WHERE WE SIT TODAY, TWO WEEKS AGO, YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN INCREDIBLE ENERGY.

EVERY YEAR WE DO SOMETHING CALLED BLOCK PARTY, WHICH BRINGS OUT OUR STUDENTS AND OUR STAFF AND OUR FACULTY AND OUR HULK AND OUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER TO TO CELEBRATE AND INTRODUCE OUR STUDENTS TO ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO OFFER.

AND IT WAS INCREDIBLE THE ENERGY THIS YEAR.

I THINK A FEW OF US WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT EARLIER.

IT JUST FEELS DIFFERENT.

PEOPLE ARE ON CAMPUS AND PEOPLE ARE EXCITED TO BE BACK AND THEY'RE EXCITED TO BE CONNECTING.

ON MOVE IN DAY, WHICH WAS THREE PLUS WEEKS AGO FOR US.

WE WELCOMED HUNDREDS OF NEW STUDENTS INTO CITY HEIGHTS.

IT WAS JUST SO EXCITING TO MEET STUDENTS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND REALLY ALL OVER THE WORLD WHO ARE WHO ARE MOVING IN TO START COLLEGE FOR THE FIRST TIME.

WE ALSO HAD NEW FACULTY ORIENTATION AND WE WELCOMED 40 NEW TENURE TRACK AND ERC FACULTY AND MORE THAN 150 LECTURERS TO CU DENVER.

AND WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT EVENTS TO RECOGNIZE AND MEET THEM.

I THINK WE ALSO HAD NEW STUDENT CONVOCATION, WHICH IS SOMETHING WE DO EVERY YEAR WHERE WE BRING ALL OF OUR 3000 PLUS FIRST YEAR STUDENTS TOGETHER.

AND I SPOKE IN AT PROVOST NAKAYAMA SPOKE AND OUR SENIOR VICE CHANCELLOR, SNOWDEN SPOKE.

AND SINCE THE POET LAUREATE OF COLORADO WAS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE DENVER POST TODAY, I'LL ALSO SAY THAT WE HAD OUR CU DENVER, OUR ALUM ASIA FOX, WHO IS THE POET

[00:40:04]

LAUREATE OF AURORA, COME BACK ON CAMPUS.

SHE WAS AN ENGLISH MAJOR HERE AND SPEAK TO OUR NEW STUDENTS.

AND THIS HAS JUST BECOME A TRADITION OF OURS TO BRING SUCCESSFUL ALUM IN THE COMMUNITY BACK AND SPEAK TO OUR FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS.

THE LAST THING I'LL JUST SAY IS WE SEE YOU, DENVER GOT NOTICE AT THE END OF LAST SEMESTER THAT WE ARE THE FIRST CAMPUS IN THE ENTIRE MULTI STATE ROCKY MOUNTAIN REGION TO ACHIEVE SOMETHING CALLED AN APEC, WHICH IS ASIAN AMERICAN PACIFIC AND NATIVE AMERICAN PACIFIC ISLANDER DESIGNATION STATUS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.

AND THAT ALSO COMES ALONG WITH A NEARLY $2 MILLION GRANT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO HELP US PROVIDE MORE STUDENT SERVICES AND SUPPORT.

WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THIS.

AND NOT ONLY DOES THIS MAKE US AND BY THE WAY, THIS IS CU, DENVER AND ANSCHUTZ TOGETHER, IT NOT ONLY MAKES US ELIGIBLE FOR GRANTS THAT ARE ONLY AVAILABLE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE THIS DESIGNATION, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT WILL HELP US CREATE MORE PROGRAMING TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS BETTER.

AND WE'RE HAVING A CELEBRATION WHICH YOU'RE ALL INVITED TO ON OCTOBER 10TH IN THE MORNING, I THINK, OVER AT LOWELL AND ROB SALAZAR WELLNESS CENTER TO APPRECIATE THE DESIGNATION. SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND CHANCELLOR ELLIMAN.

THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. YOU KNOW, OUR STUDENTS START BACK IN JULY.

WE WE ARE A 12 MONTH DEAL.

SO BUT IT IS GREAT TO HAVE THE CAMPUS BACK AND FULLY ROLLING.

AND AS MICHELLE SAID, AND I KNOW OTHERS WILL, THE ENERGY LEVEL IS REALLY COMING BACK.

WE'RE WE'RE STILL, I THINK, STRUGGLING TO GET THE SPIRIT BACK TO THE PRE-COVID LEVELS.

BUT WE'RE GETTING CLOSER AND I FEEL VERY GOOD ABOUT THAT.

SINCE THE LAST REGENT MEETING, WE'VE CLOSED OUR BOOKS AND WE HAD A PRETTY GOOD YEAR LAST YEAR.

WE TICKED OVER 700,000,000IN NEW RESEARCH AWARDS, WHICH WAS A NEW NUMBER FOR US.

AND IF YOU ACTUALLY THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE GIFTS.

IF YOU INCLUDE GIFTS.

WE'RE A LITTLE OVER 800 MILLION.

AND SO THAT'S THE RESEARCH ENTERPRISE, WHICH IS REALLY CRITICAL.

AS TODD POINTED OUT TO OUR ENTIRE OUR SORT OF ECOSYSTEM IS DOING VERY WELL AND WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR THAT.

TODD MENTIONED THE.

AND SHOOTS ACCELERATION AND INITIATIVE OR I THAT WAS WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER THAT WAS A $50 MILLION GIFT.

AND THE INTENTION WAS TO GO OUT TO THE FACULTY OF ALL THE SCHOOLS ON CAMPUS FOR IDEAS THAT COULD COULD ACTUALLY BE TRANSLATIONAL IN THE EYE, IN THE CLINIC OR AFFECTING CARE WITHIN 3 TO 5 YEARS WE THOUGHT WE WOULD GET.

AND THE IDEA WAS THAT WE WERE GOING TO PICK SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 3 AND 7 TO SUPPORT WITH, YOU KNOW, 5 TO 10,000,000 MILLION GRANTS EACH. WE THOUGHT WE'D GET 30 APPLICATIONS AND WE GOT 170.

SO WE'RE WE'RE NOW WE'VE CALLED THAT DOWN TO 70.

BUT SOME OF US HAVE THE DUBIOUS PLEASURE OF ON OCTOBER 14TH, THE TEN PAGE PROPOSALS ARE DUE, WHICH IF I DO THE MATH, MEANS I'VE GOT 800 PAGES OF READING TO DO BETWEEN THEN AND THE AND EARLY NOVEMBER TO BE ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE PICKING THE THE NEXT COUPLE LEVEL.

WE'RE GOING TO THEN GET IT DOWN TO 30 OR 35 AND BRING IN AN OUTSIDE GROUP TO TO VET THEM.

BUT IT'S PRODUCED AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF ENERGY ON THE CAMPUS.

IT'S BEEN A LOT OF FUN TO BE A PART OF, AND IT'S MADE A FEW PEOPLE KIND OF UNHAPPY.

BUT THAT'S JUST LIFE.

IT'S REALLY IT'S BEEN A GREAT THING TO DO.

WE HAVE A NEW DEAN OF THE COLORADO SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH, AND THE LAST THING I WOULD MENTION IS, AGAIN, RELATIVE TO LAST YEAR, WE HAD ANOTHER RECORD YEAR IN PHILANTHROPY.

WE TACKED UP OR TIPPED A LITTLE OVER $245 MILLION IN IN PHILANTHROPY, WHICH FOR US IS AN ENORMOUSLY IMPORTANT ACCELERANT FOR THE CAMPUS.

SO IT'S BEEN A GOOD YEAR.

AND I THINK WE'RE WE'RE CONTINUING THAT MOMENTUM.

I FEEL PRETTY GOOD ABOUT WHERE WE ARE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, CHANCELLOR DISTEFANO.

AND THANK YOU, PRESIDENT SULLIVAN.

ONCE A YEAR.

SO I'M GOING TO DEVIATE FROM ENROLLMENT AND SO ON.

ONCE A YEAR WE'RE ASKED TO TALK TO THE BOARD, THE BOULDER CAMPUSES ABOUT KIND OF THE LANDSCAPE OF THE NCAA.

AND IN ADDITION, THERE WAS A QUESTION FROM A BOARD MEMBER ABOUT THE KNIGHT COMMISSION AND HOW THAT FITS.

AND SO, I'LL BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT THOSE TWO AND IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

SO, THE MAJOR COMMITTEE RIGHT NOW AT THE NCAA IS THE TRANSFORMATION COMMITTEE, AND THE TRANSFORMATION COMMITTEE IS LOOKING AT THREE MAJOR AREAS ELEVATING FOR SUPPORT, ELEVATING SUPPORT FOR STUDENT ATHLETES, MENTAL, PHYSICAL AND ACADEMIC WELL-BEING, ENHANCING THE DIVISION ONE CHAMPIONSHIP

[00:45:07]

EXPERIENCE FOR STUDENT ATHLETES, AND BUILDING A FASTER, FAIRER AND MORE EQUITABLE DIVISION ONE AND FOR THE AREAS OF MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH.

CU BOULDER DOES AN INCREDIBLE JOB IN THE SUPPORT OF OUR STUDENT ATHLETES, AND FOR MANY OF THE CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN ENACTED BY THE TRANSFORMATION COMMITTEE SO FAR OR THAT WILL COME IN THE FUTURE, WE'RE ALREADY DOING ALL THIS, AND WE CAN DO MORE FOR OUR STUDENTS AND HAVE ONLY TO MAKE SIMPLE, SIMPLE SHIFTS, SHIFTS AND PROCESSES.

ALSO, THERE'S A GOAL OF ABOUT MEMBERSHIP EXPECTATION FOR EDUCATION AND PROGRAMING IN SPECIFIC AREAS.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, CU IS ALREADY AHEAD OF OUR PEERS IN THE AREAS OF MENTAL HEALTH, STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING, NUTRITION, NAME, IMAGE AND LIKENESS, FINANCIAL LITERACY TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS, CAREER PREPARATION, DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION AND BELONGING AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE PREVENTION.

SO, WE FEEL VERY CONFIDENT THAT WE ARE IN LINE WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS COMING OUT OF THE TRANSFORMATION COMMITTEE.

NOW, ONE OF THE ONE OF THE AREAS, A DIFFERENT ORGANIZATION.

SO, YOU HAVE TO REALIZE THE KNIGHT COMMISSION IS DIFFERENT FROM THE NCAA AND THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS THAT CAME OUT JUST A FEW A FEW WEEKS AGO IS ALLOWING COLLEGE ATHLETES TO EARN COMPENSATION FROM THIRD PARTIES FOR THE USE OF THEIR NAME, IMAGE AND LIKENESS.

AND WE DO THAT.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S DONE WITH THE NCAA CHANGING THE NCAA'S REVENUE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE NCAA, THEIR ONLY SOURCE OF REVENUE AND IT'S A LOT IT'S $1 BILLION, BUT THEIR ONLY SOURCE OF REVENUE COMES FROM MARCH MADNESS FROM BASKETBALL.

THAT'S THEIR ONLY SOURCE OF REVENUE.

AND IT'S $1 BILLION.

SO, THERE'S THE NCAA DOESN'T USE ANY I MEAN, THEY DON'T SPONSOR BOWL GAMES.

THEY'RE NOT A PART OF THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS.

SO, WHEN THE KNIGHT COMMISSION TALKS ABOUT CHANGING THE REVENUE DISTRIBUTION, IT ALL GOES TO THE SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES IN EACH OF THE DIVISIONS ONE, TWO AND THREE, AND THAT'S IT.

RECOGNIZING NCAA DIVISION ONE GOVERNANCE AND ADOPTING PERFORMANCE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES TO MAINTAIN COLLEGE ATHLETICS AT A PUBLIC TRUST.

AND SO, AS I MENTIONED, NIL IS ALLOWED.

IT'S, AS I MENTIONED, THE ONLY SOURCE OF REVENUE IS MARCH MADNESS, THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF.

THERE IS NO REVENUE THAT COMES TO THE NCAA.

THE GOVERNANCE IS CURRENTLY UNDER REVIEW BY THE TRANSFORMATION COMMITTEE.

SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THE NCAA IS LOOKING AT.

AND I THINK FROM OUR STANDPOINT, WE BELIEVE COLLEGE THAT COLLEGE ATHLETICS IS AT A CROSSROADS AND WE'RE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

IF WE CAN MOVE THE TRANSFORMATION COMMITTEE FORWARD, WHICH I BELIEVE WE CAN, AND HERE AT CU BOULDER, WE DO ALL THAT WE CAN IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR STUDENT ATHLETES WELL-BEING.

OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND CHANCELLOR SOBHANI, THANK YOU.

I'VE BEEN ON THE UCS CAMPUS FOR ALMOST TWO MONTHS NOW, SO HAVE PROBABLY A SHORT REPORT TO GIVE.

BUT JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU BECAUSE I'VE JUST BEEN SO WELCOMED IN THIS ROLE AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR THAT FROM ALL OF YOU.

IT'S BEEN AN INCREDIBLE START TO THE SEMESTER.

THE ENERGY ON CAMPUS HAS JUST BEEN PHENOMENAL.

JUST LIKE CHANCELLOR MARKS WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT.

WE'RE BACK AND STUDENTS ARE BACK.

FACULTY AND STAFF ARE BACK.

AND EVERYONE TELLS ME IT FEELS LIKE 2019 BECAUSE OF THE ENERGY AND THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ON CAMPUS.

WE ARE SEEING A SLIGHT INCREASE IN OUR ENROLLMENT, AND THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE INCREDIBLE WORK THAT OUR FACULTY, STAFF AND STUDENTS HAVE DONE OVER THIS SUMMER AND OVER THE PAST YEAR TO BRING MORE STUDENTS TO CAMPUS, WHETHER THAT'S PHONE CALLS TO FRIENDS, PHONE CALLS TO FROM OUR FACULTY TO STUDENTS OR THE REALLY DEEP, DEEP WORK THAT OUR STAFF DOES.

AND SO, I'M GRATEFUL FOR THAT.

WE ALSO HAVE KICKED OFF THIS YEAR WHAT WE CALL OUR TAP, THE TEXTBOOK AFFORDABILITY AND ACCESS PROGRAM, WHICH HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLE SUCCESS FOR US AND MUCH BETTER, MUCH MORE ADOPTION OF THIS THAN WE HAD EXPECTED.

THIS ALLOWS OUR STUDENTS TO GET THEIR PHYSICAL AND DIGITAL COURSE MATERIALS WITHOUT HAVING TO PLACE INDIVIDUAL ORDERS OR PAY OUT OF POCKET, AND IT ALLOWS THEM TO HAVE THEIR

[00:50:05]

MATERIALS BEFORE CLASSES START.

SO, WE THINK THAT WILL HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON STUDENT SUCCESS.

WE HAD 90% OF OUR FACULTY ADOPT THE PROGRAM AND 89% OF OUR STUDENTS TO DATE HAVE USED THIS THIS PROGRAM.

WE ALSO HAVE THE MORE STUDENT ATHLETES ON CAMPUS THAN EVER BEFORE.

WE HAVE 384 STUDENT ATHLETES IN 14 SPORTS.

AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE MAJORITY OF THOSE ATHLETES ARE FROM OUT OF STATE AND THAT'S EXCITING FOR US TO BRING IN SO MUCH TALENT.

WE ALSO JUST A COUPLE OF OTHER UPDATES.

WE HAVE TWO GRANTS THAT WE JUST RECEIVED THAT ARE TOTALING OVER A QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS FOR OUR PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION TEAM.

WE HAVE TWO NEW ELECTRIC SHUTTLE BUSSES AND FIVE ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS.

SO, THIS COMMITMENT TO OUR GREENING OUR ENVIRONMENT IS REALLY ALIVE AND WELL ON THE UCS CAMPUS.

WE ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT PROGRESS CONTINUES ON OUR ANSHUTZ ENGINEERING CENTER, AND WE WILL BE OPEN FOR CLASSES IN THAT NEW BUILDING FOR THE SPRING SEMESTER.

AND WE WANT TO WELCOME DR.

HILARY FOUTS, WHO WILL BE JOINING US AS OUR NEW DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL.

KELLY KLEEB CONTINUES TO STAND IN THAT ROLE FOR THE NEXT SEMESTER, AND SHE'S BEEN INCREDIBLE IN INCREASING OUR GRADUATE STUDENT ENROLLMENT OVER THIS PAST YEAR.

WE'VE HAD VISITS FROM OUR FEDERAL ELECTED OFFICIALS ALL AROUND.

I THINK PEOPLE ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT SPACE COMMAND PRESIDENT ELLIMAN.

SO, WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF VISITS.

SENATOR HICKENLOOPER'S CYBERSECURITY AND SMALL BUSINESS HEARING WAS HELD IN AUGUST, AND WE HAD REPRESENTATIVE DOUG LAMBORN'S, CHIEF OF STAFF, VISIT US AND OUR CYBERSECURITY PROGRAMS. FINALLY, I JUST WANT TO THANK ALL OF THE REGENTS WHO WERE IN OUR NECK OF THE WOODS FOR OUR OUTREACH SOUTHERN COLORADO OUTREACH WORK AND THE OUTREACH TOUR THAT WE WERE DOING.

PRESIDENT SOLOMON, THANK YOU.

I THINK YOU HAVE VISITED THE CAMPUS THREE TIMES IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS AND CERTAINLY REGENT MONTARA.

THANK YOU FOR THE WORK THAT YOU DO ON THE CENTER ADVISORY BOARD AND FOR BEING SUCH A SUPPORTER OF OUR CAMPUS.

CHANCELLOR ELLIMAN TO YOU AND DEAN RILEY, THANK YOU FOR THE VISIT LAST WEEK.

I FEEL LIKE THE PARTNERSHIPS THAT WE HAVE WITH CU ANSCHUTZ ARE THRIVING AND IT'S SO EXCITING TO BE A PART OF THAT.

SO, THANK YOU.

THERE'S THE UPDATE FOR UCS FOR MY TWO MONTHS HERE.

THANK YOU. NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS TO HEAR FROM OUR GOVERNANCE LEADERS.

[F. 2:25 p.m. GOVERNANCE LEADERS REPORTS]

FIRST UP IS STAFF COUNCIL CO-CHAIRS JENNY HURT AND ALAN SLINKARD.

I DON'T SEE JENNY, SO I'M GUESSING ALAN'S GOING TO DELIVER REMARKS TODAY.

WELCOME. OH.

SO, THANK YOU. PRESIDENT SOLOMON REGENT CHAIR.

RENNISON VICE CHAIR MONTEIRO THE REGENTS AND CHANCELLORS FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE SOME OF THE INSIGHTS WE'VE GLEANED FROM SOME OF THE STAFF SHARED GOVERNANCE GROUPS ABOUT THE STAFF ON THE INDIVIDUAL CAMPUSES.

SO, OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS, JENNY AND I HAVE BEEN MEETING WITH THE SHARED GOVERNANCE LEADERS FROM BOULDER, COLORADO SPRINGS, DENVER, THE SYSTEM'S OFFICE AND ANSCHUTZ.

AND WE'VE HAD OUR EYES OPEN TO A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON WITH STAFF THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU AS OPPOSED TO THE METHODOLOGY THAT WE USED LAST YEAR WHERE WE WERE TRYING TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO SOME OF THE THINGS IN A WAY THAT SOUNDED A LITTLE BIT TOO PREACHY.

JENNY AND I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS YEAR WE ENSURE THAT WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE AND WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER.

AND SO WE'LL BE WORKING ON SOME WHITE PAPERS AND THINGS TO THAT REGARD TO BRING TO YOU SO THAT WE CAN HELP KIND OF CREATE A PLATFORM TO BUILD ON SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION.

SO, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE GLEANED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS, STAFF ARE TALKING ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OR THE VALUE OF INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE, THAT INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE, ESPECIALLY RELATED TO THE RETENTION OF HIGHLY QUALIFIED STAFF AND THE WORKLOAD MANAGEMENT PRACTICES, PROMOTION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES THAT SEEM TO BE LACKING AT A LOT OF OUR CAMPUSES.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE VALUE OF SHARED GOVERNANCE, ENSURING PROPER AND EFFECTIVE MESSAGING AND ENACTING POLICIES AND PRACTICES IN SUPPORT OF THIS AT ALL LEVELS THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM. FISCAL EQUALITY AND SUPPORT OF SHARED GOVERNANCE, INCLUDING STIPENDS, FUNDING AND LEAVE TIME CODES FOR THE PARTICIPATION THAT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US PROVIDE TO OUR CAMPUSES.

COMMUNICATING ALSO WHAT WE AS SHARED GOVERNANCE GROUPS ARE ACCOMPLISHING ON BEHALF OF STAFF.

CONTINUING DISCUSSIONS ON HOW TO ALLOW FRONTLINE STAFF TO PARTICIPATE MORE FULLY IN SHARED GOVERNANCE AND HAVE THEIR VOICES HEARD MORE FULLY.

[00:55:02]

BENEFITS, ESPECIALLY CONCERNING A GREATER FLEXIBILITY IN THE SELECTION OF THEM AND MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHILD AND ELDER CARE AND CERTAIN INSTANCES SURROUNDING OUR NEW PHARMACY PLAN THAT WE'VE HAD SOME FOLKS BRING TO OUR ATTENTION THAT THE FAMILY PLANNING PORTION OF THAT HAS CAUSED SOME CHALLENGES.

CONTINUING THE GOOD WORK THAT'S BEEN ACCOMPLISHED SURROUNDING HEALTH AND WELLNESS IN.

AND I WAS GOING TO KIND OF TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT THE EFFECTS OF THE SCOTUS RULING AND HOW THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP AND WORK IN SOME REGARD AS TO HOW THAT MIGHT KIND OF ATTACH SHARED GOVERNANCE IN WORKING WITH THE CAMPUSES IN RELATIONSHIP TO DIB.

BUT FELICITY SHARED THAT DOCUMENT WITH ME THIS MORNING, AND SO I'LL PASS ON THAT FOR RIGHT NOW.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SEEMS TO BE REALLY IMPORTANT, BOTH ON THE BOULDER CAMPUS, AT THE SYSTEMS OFFICE AND AT ANSCHUTZ IN DENVER, IS WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF A HYBRID WORKING MODEL GOING TO LOOK LIKE AS WE GO FORWARD? AND FINALLY, COMMUNITY BUILDING EVENTS THAT WE CAN WORK TOGETHER ON TO PROVIDE STAFF A DEEPER SENSE OF ENGAGEMENT, IDENTITY AND BELONGING, LIKE THE ELITCH'S EVENT THAT WE DID THIS SUMMER. THAT WAS SPECTACULAR.

SO MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, THIS YEAR, UCSC WANTS TO WORK ON BUILDING BRIDGES, RELATIONSHIPS AND COLLEGIALITY IN MAKING SPACE FOR STAFF TO SHARE IDEAS, CONCERNS, NEEDS AND THEIR VISION OF WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN THE WAY OF CAMPUS AND SYSTEM SUPPORT, ENGAGEMENT AND FEELING HEARD AND VALUED.

WHAT'S REQUIRED IN TIMES LIKE THESE IS A RETURN TO A SENSE OF OPEN DIALOG SO THAT ALL VOICES ARE HEARD.

HARD CHOICES ARE DISCUSSED AND AN OPENNESS TO COMPROMISE IS EMBRACED.

JENNY AND I'S MOTTO HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE TO HELP US HELP YOU.

SO, OVER THE COMING YEAR, OUR FOCUS WILL BE TO PROVIDE A PLATFORM TO STAFF FOR BRINGING THEIR IDEAS, VISION AND VOICE TO YOU SO THAT TOGETHER WE CAN WORK AS A HOLISTIC ENTERPRISE TO MAKE THE CU SYSTEM THE BENCHMARK THAT OTHERS WISH TO EMULATE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANKS.

UP NEXT, FACULTY COUNCIL CHAIR DR.

ALASTAIR NORCROSS.

THANK YOU.

SO I'D LIKE TO TAKE THIS TIME TO THANK PRESIDENT SOLOMON, CHAIR RENNISON, VICE CHAIR MONTEIRO, THE REGENTS AND THE CHANCELLORS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE WITH YOU THE CURRENT WORK OF THE SIU FACULTY COUNCIL.

BUT FIRST LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF.

THIS IS MY FIRST REPORT AS FACULTY COUNCIL CHAIR.

I'M A PROFESSOR IN THE DEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY AT CU BOULDER.

I SPECIALIZE IN ETHICS.

MY TEACHING AND RESEARCH IS FOCUSED BOTH ON ETHICAL THEORY AND ON ISSUES IN APPLIED ETHICS AND APPLIED ETHICS, IN PARTICULAR, THE TREATMENT OF NON-HUMAN ANIMALS, WHICH HAS BEEN A PARTICULAR PASSION OF MINE FOR AT LEAST 30 YEARS.

I'M ALSO A DIRECTOR OF THE CENTER FOR VALUES AND SOCIAL POLICY AT CU BOULDER.

AND FOR MY SINS ALSO THE VICE CHAIR OF THE BOULDER FACULTY ASSEMBLY.

AND I'VE JUST BEEN INVITED TO SERVE ON A TENURE REVIEW COMMITTEE BY SOMEBODY WHO CLEARLY DOESN'T KNOW HOW MUCH SERVICE I'M ALREADY DOING.

THAT WOULD BE, I THINK, THE PROVOST OR MAYBE THE DEAN OF ARTS AND SCIENCES.

I DON'T KNOW. SO FACULTY COUNCIL IS NOT AS BUSY AS YOU GUYS OVER THE SUMMER.

BUT WE WE HAVE BEEN DOING SOME THINGS.

IN PARTICULAR, A SUBCOMMITTEE OF US HAVE BEEN WORKING ON REVISING OUR CONSTITUTION AND BYLAWS, AND WE ARE GETTING FAIRLY CLOSE TO THE CONSTITUTION BYLAWS OF THE FACULTY SENATE, OF WHICH FACULTY COUNCIL IS A PART.

AND WE'RE GETTING FAIRLY CLOSE TO HAVING REVISIONS READY TO VOTE ON CONSTITUTION REVISIONS HAVE TO BE VOTED ON BY THE FULL FACULTY SENATE BYLAWS.

REVISIONS CAN BE APPROVED BY A MEETING OF THE FACULTY COUNCIL.

THE CAMPUSES HAVE HAD A LOT OF CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP, IN SHARED GOVERNANCE, AND SCHULTZ IS UNCHANGED.

ETHELYN THOMAS AND LARSEN.

WE HAVE A NEW CHAIR OF BOULDER FACULTY ASSEMBLY, SHELLY MILLER, A NEW LEADER IN COLORADO SPRINGS.

MONIKA, YOU. AND AS OF JUST TWO DAYS AGO, A NEW LEADER IN DENVER, SASHA BERGER BUSH.

SO WITH THREE OUT OF FOUR NEW ASSEMBLY LEADERS, WE'VE GOT A RADICALLY DIFFERENT FACULTY COUNCIL EXECUTIVE

[01:00:02]

COMMITTEE. SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING ON A LOT OF OUR PRIORITIES.

SO LET ME JUST SAY A COUPLE OF THINGS ABOUT OUR PRIORITIES FOR THE COMING YEAR.

ONE VERY LARGE PRIORITY AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S VERY DEAR TO MY HEART, IS THE EQUITY ISSUES REGARDING NON TENURE TRACK FACULTY, BOTH THE IOC FACULTY AND LECTURERS OR ADJUNCTS.

SO WHAT I'VE ASKED ONE OF OUR COMMITTEES TO DO IS TO START GATHERING INFORMATION ON THE SITUATION OF ADJUNCTS IN PARTICULAR ACROSS THE FOUR CAMPUSES. I WANT TO SEE HOW THEY ARE USED, HOW THEY'RE TREATED, DIFFERENT LEVELS OF COMPENSATION, BENEFITS, ETCETERA.

AND FACULTY COUNCIL WILL BE LOOKING AT GIVING THESE WHO ARE MANY OF WHOM ARE OUR MOST VULNERABLE COLLEAGUES, MORE OF A VOICE IN FACULTY GOVERNANCE. AND WE'LL ALSO BE LOOKING AT THE SITUATION OF IOC FACULTY ACROSS THE CAMPUSES.

WHAT PERCENTAGE, FOR EXAMPLE, OF IOC FACULTY ARE ON MULTIYEAR CONTRACTS? HOW MANY WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE NEW FIVE YEAR CONTRACTS THAT RECENTLY, THANKFULLY BECAME AVAILABLE, AND HOW THE DIFFERENT CAMPUSES ARE CHOOSING TO USE THE NEW TITLES APPROVED IN APS 5060.

ANOTHER ISSUE PARTICULARLY DEAR TO MY HEART AND ESPECIALLY TO SHELLY MILLER'S HEART NEW CHAIR, IS TAKING CLIMATE CHANGE SERIOUSLY AND PUSHING FOR CU TO BE A LEADER IN RESEARCH AND RESPONDING TO THE CHALLENGES OF CLIMATE CHANGE.

THIS ISSUE GROWS IN URGENCY WITH EACH PASSING YEAR, AND I THINK WE NEED, AS A MATTER OF MORAL URGENCY TO BE OUT IN FRONT OF THIS.

SO WE WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE THE SYSTEM TO REEXAMINE THE OPTIONS FOR DIVESTING FROM ASSETS THAT ARE IMPLICATED IN EXACERBATING THE PROBLEMS OF CLIMATE CHANGE. AND FINALLY, THE ISSUE OF CONCEALED CARRY ON CAMPUSES.

ALL OF ALL FOUR CAMPUSES, FACULTY, STAFF AND STUDENT LEADERSHIP ARE UNITED IN WANTING THE CHANCELLORS OF THE DIFFERENT CAMPUSES TO BE GIVEN THE OPTION TO BAN OR NOT CONCEALED CARRY.

NOW THAT THAT'S LEGALLY SOMETHING THAT'S AVAILABLE TO THEM.

AND SO I'M HOPING, REGENTS, THAT YOU WILL TAKE THIS ISSUE UP.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU. OH, I'M SORRY.

I MUST APOLOGIZE.

I CAN'T STAY FOR VERY LONG.

I HAVE TO GO TO A MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR MY SISTER IN LAW, SO I HAVE TO CATCH A FLIGHT FAIRLY SOON.

SO DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY IF I LEAVE NOW.

I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPORT.

UP NEXT, ICSF CHAIR NICHOLAS DAWSON.

MY LIBRARY OF CONGRESS FRIEND AND I STILL HAVE MY LIBRARY CARD IN MY WALLET.

I DO TOO. IT IS NICE TO MEET EVERYONE.

MY NAME IS NICHOLAS DAWSON.

I'M HERE TO REPRESENT THE ICSF AS ITS CHAIRMAN.

THE ICFS IS THE INTER STUDENT FORUM, AND WE ARE A COLLECTION OF THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT LEADERSHIP FROM THE FOUR CAMPUSES, AND WE EACH INDIVIDUALLY REPRESENT THE STUDENT BODY.

WE TRY AND MAKE SURE THE STUDENTS ALL HAVE A VOICE THAT CAN BE DIRECTLY CARRIED TO MEETINGS LIKE THIS, AS WELL AS THE PRESIDENT.

MR. SOLOMON, WHO I'VE ALREADY HAD THE PLEASURE OF HAVING A MEETING WITH BOTH THIS YEAR AND PREVIOUSLY.

THANK YOU FOR BEING SO RECEPTIVE TO OUR FEEDBACK.

TO BEGIN THIS ACADEMIC YEAR.

WE HAVE PROBABLY DONE THE LEAST OVER THE SUMMER OF ANY OF THE SHARED GOVERNANCES MOST OF OUR STUDENTS HAVE LUCKILY BEEN ABLE TO ENJOY THEIR SUMMER BREAKS.

THE ANSCHUTZ CAMPUS IS, AS USUAL, A SLIGHT EXCEPTION TO THAT.

BUT WE ENJOY THE WORK WE'VE BEEN SO FAR ONBOARDING OUR NEWEST MEMBER, INCLUDING BRIA COMBS AND SAVANNAH BROOKS FROM THE CU DENVER CAMPUS. WE HAVE SOME RETURNING FACES, INCLUDING MYSELF FROM THE ANSCHUTZ CAMPUS, AS WELL AS AXEL ADAN AND CHASE, AXEL AND AIDEN FROM THE CU, COLORADO SPRINGS CAMPUS AND CHASE CORNWELL FROM THE BOULDER CAMPUS.

WE ARE ALL HAPPY TO NETWORK AND COMMUNICATE WITH ESSENTIALLY ANYONE WHEN IT COMES TO BETTER REPRESENTING THE STUDENT BODY IN THIS REGARD TO GET THINGS OFF. WE HAVE BEEN HAVING SEVERAL MEETINGS DURING WHICH WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO IDENTIFY OUR PRIORITIES WITHIN THIS.

WE HAVE BEEN INITIALLY SENDING OUT SOME POLLS TO COLLECT FEEDBACK FROM EACH OF OUR INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS AND COMPILING THAT SO WE CAN BEGIN TO SEEK OUT ACTION ITEMS FOR THIS UPCOMING ACADEMIC YEAR.

TO BUILD ON THAT, WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO CONNECTING WITH OUR CHANCELLORS TO RECEIVE IDEAS FROM THEM AS WELL AS OTHER INDIVIDUALS SUCH AS PRESIDENT SOLOMON, REGENTS AND ANY OTHER FACULTY OR STAFF MEMBERS WHO BELIEVE THEY HAVE INSIGHT THAT WE CAN UTILIZE.

WE ARE INTERESTED IN COOPERATING WITH ALL ELEMENTS OF THE CU SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE INDIVIDUAL CAMPUSES TO TRY AND ELEVATE THE EXPERIENCE FOR THE INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS.

[01:05:08]

WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO MAKE AN IMPACT BOTH AT THE LOCAL CAMPUS LEVEL AS WELL AS AT THE SYSTEM LEVEL AND TAKE WHATEVER ISSUES WE MAY DISCOVER OR AREAS OF GROWTH WE MAY DISCOVER TO THE APPROPRIATE AUTHORITY SO WE CAN TRY AND ACHIEVE MEANINGFUL CHANGE AS EASILY AS POSSIBLE.

CURRENTLY WE DON'T HAVE ANY MAJOR PRIORITIES SCHEDULED.

WE HAVE HAD OUR FIRST TWO MEETINGS, THOUGH ONBOARDING HAS GONE WELL AND WE'RE GETTING A NEW DOCUMENT SHARING PLATFORM SO WE CAN BEGIN TO IDEATE TOGETHER AND FORM A STABLE STRUCTURE OF CONTINUED DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT FOR THE FUTURE SO WE CAN BUILD ON WHAT WE'VE DONE PREVIOUSLY.

IT LOOKS LIKE I STILL HAVE TWO MINUTES, BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO REPORT RIGHT NOW.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME.

AND REGRETTABLY, I ALSO NEED TO LEAVE HERE SHORTLY.

HOWEVER, ONE OF THE OTHER STUDENT GOVERNMENT LEADERS WILL BE TAKING MY SPOT UP AT THE TABLE TO CONTINUE TO REPRESENT THE STUDENT BODY.

THANK YOU AGAIN. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. THE NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS.

OH, I APOLOGIZE. YES, I.

A COUPLE OF YOU WERE NEW AND YOU'RE REPRESENTING YOUR DIFFERENT CAMPUSES AND REALLY THE WHOLE SYSTEM AT THIS POINT IN OUR BOARD MEETING, IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO HEAR FROM YOU, YOUR PEOPLE THAT TELL US WHAT THE TEMPERATURE IS ON YOUR CAMPUSES AND WHAT YOU'RE WORKING ON AND THE STAFF, STUDENTS AND FACULTY ARE IMPORTANT.

THIS IS OUR ONE CONTACT THAT WE HAVE WITH YOU EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS.

WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY TO US IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCISE REPORTS AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT YOU COME BEFORE THIS BOARD AND KIND OF LET US KNOW WHAT YOU'RE WORKING ON AND WHAT SOME OF YOUR NEEDS ARE. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I THINK THIS IS A TRULY IMPORTANT PART OF OUR BOARD MEETINGS.

RIGHT. THANK YOU.

THE NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS IS THE APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA.

[G. 2:45 p.m. CONSENT AGENDA]

THE ENTIRE CONSENT AGENDA IS LISTED IN BOARD DOCS.

IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ITEMS ON THE CONSENT AGENDA? SECOND. SECOND. IT'S MOVED BY REGENT VAN DRIEL AND SECONDED BY REGENT CHAVEZ TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? EVERYBODY'S GOOD. GREAT.

THE QUESTION BEFORE US IS APPROVAL OF ALL ITEMS LISTED ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE.

AYE. ANY OPPOSED? THE MOTION PASSES.

THANK YOU, EVERYBODY.

SO UP NEXT IS A PRESENTATION AND BREAKOUT DISCUSSION REGARDING ONLINE ENROLLMENT AND PROGRAMS.

[H. 2:50 p.m. DEEP DIVE FOCUS AREA]

CFO CHAD MARTIRANO AND VICE PRESIDENT MIKE LEITNER AND ASSISTANT VICE PRESIDENT ANGELIQUE FOSTER WILL LEAD US IN THIS.

SO WE ARE TOTALLY AHEAD OF SCHEDULE RIGHT NOW.

SO I'M JUST SURVEYING THE ROOM TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN GET THINGS IRONED OUT.

WOULD IT BE HELPFUL IF WE DID A SHORT BREAK? MAYBE. MAYBE LIKE FIVE MINUTES? OKAY. HOW ABOUT WE TAKE A FIVE MINUTE BREAK AND COME BACK? AT WHAT TIME ARE WE AT NOW? WE ARE 211.

SO 216.

THIS IS VERY FUN.

ALL RIGHT, GREAT. CHAD, DO YOU HAVE EVERYBODY YOU NEED? OKAY, GOOD.

YEAH.

RIGHT NOW. YOU'VE GOT ONE.

HERE'S ELLIMAN. AGAIN.

ALL RIGHT. THANKS, CHAD.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT.

GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYBODY.

THIS IS THIS IS THE FIRST OF OUR OUR BOARD MEETINGS FOR THE YEAR WHERE WE'RE GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME TO DO A DEEP DIVE AND BREAK OUT AND DO SOME TABLETOP CONVERSATIONS WITH THE CAMPUSES DURING THE SUMMER RETREAT.

WE HAD TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THE UNDERLYING METRICS IN TANDEM WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN, AND ONE OF THOSE METRICS THAT WE TRACK ON AN ANNUAL BASIS IS ONLINE ONLINE ENROLLMENT AND PROGRAMS. AND AT THE TIME, WE VOICED MORE INTEREST IN HAVING A DEEP DIVE IN THIS SPACE.

SO HERE WE ARE TODAY.

OVER THE LAST YEAR, DATA GOVERNANCE HAS COME UP WITH A WAY TO CONSISTENTLY REPORT ON AND COLLECT STUDENTS THAT WERE FULLY IN LINE, FULLY

[01:10:01]

ENROLLED ONLINE, 100%.

SO EXCLUSIVELY ONLINE.

AND WHAT THIS CHART HERE SHOWS BEFORE BEFORE YOU IS THAT ORANGE YELLOW SECTION ARE STUDENTS THAT ARE 100% ONLINE.

SO THAT'S THAT'S NO IN-PERSON CLASSES.

THAT BLUE SEGMENT IS MULTIMODAL OR SOME ONLINE.

THOSE TWO DEFINITIONS, THOSE THAT ORANGE YELLOW SECTION TO THE BLUE REPORTING THOSE CONSISTENTLY ACROSS THE CAMPUSES TOOK SOME WORK.

BUT WE GOT THERE THROUGH OUR DATA GOVERNANCE PROCESS AND THIS IS HOW WE'LL BE REPORTING THINGS MOVING FORWARD.

SO WHAT DOES THIS CHART SHOW US? FISCAL YEAR 2021 IS WHERE YOU SEE THAT BIG SPIKE.

AND THAT'S THE THAT'S THE YEAR WHERE WE WERE PRIMARILY REMOTE.

AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE CREDIT HOURS AND ENROLLMENT THAT WE DELIVERED WAS IN THE ONLINE SPACE.

YOU SEE KIND OF A DOUBLING IN TERMS OF THAT PRIOR YEAR, AROUND 31,000, KIND OF ALMOST DOUBLING TO GET TO THAT 66,000.

AND IT'S IT'S GONE DOWN A LITTLE BIT IN THE SUBSEQUENT YEARS, BUT DEFINITELY STILL LARGER THAN FISCAL YEAR 20.

WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS SAME THING JUST THROUGH CREDIT HOURS, IT'S A FAR LARGER JUMP.

SO THAT 222,000IN FISCAL YEAR 20 JUMPING TO OVER A MILLION.

THIS IS JUST CREDIT HOURS DELIVERED.

SO, THIS ISN'T JUST STUDENTS ENROLLED IN AN ONLINE COURSE.

THIS IS STUDENTS TRULY TAKING MORE OF THEIR COURSEWORK IN AN ONLINE FASHION.

WHEN WE LOOK AT ONLINE AS A SHARE OF TOTAL ENROLLMENT.

AND SO I'VE JUST ADDED A LITTLE GRAY SEGMENT HERE.

SO THIS IS A STUDENT TAKING A COURSE THAT WAS NOT ONLINE AT ALL.

YOU CAN SEE THAT JUMP IN FISCAL YEAR 21 AGAIN.

AND THEN YOU SEE IT KIND OF GETTING GOING BACK A LITTLE BIT IN THE OTHER DIRECTION, BUT STILL BEING A SIGNIFICANT SHARE.

THE OTHER THING TO OBSERVE IN THIS CHART IS THAT STUDENTS TEND TO TAKE MORE MULTIMODAL THAN 100% ONLINE.

WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE AGGREGATE, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS BY THE FISCAL YEAR.

BUT THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE CASE WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT BY TERM.

SO, IF WE LOOK AT ONLINE ENROLLMENT BY TERM, THIS IS THIS IS THE PRIOR PARDON ME, FIVE FISCAL YEARS HERE.

AND IF WE LOOK AT THE SUMMER TERM, FALL TERM AND SPRING TERM, SIMILAR PATTERN IN THE FALL AND SPRING THAT WE SAW ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE.

BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THAT SUMMER TERM, THE MAJORITY OF THE CREDIT HOURS AND THE MAJORITY OF THE ENROLLMENT THAT HAS OCCURRED DURING THE SUMMER TIME FRAME FOR THOSE PRIOR THREE YEARS HAS BEEN STUDENTS THAT ARE TAKING A COURSE THAT'S SOLELY ONLINE.

SO THERE'S DEFINITELY A TARGET OF OPPORTUNITY THERE IN TERM.

AND STUDENTS ARE VOTING WITH THEIR FEET, THEY'RE ENROLLING IN THOSE PROGRAMS AND WE'RE MEETING THEM WHERE THEIR DEMAND IS.

SO WE CAN CARVE UP THIS PIE IN A THOUSAND DIFFERENT WAYS IN TERMS OF LOOKING AT THIS DATA.

BUT RATHER THAN DO THAT IN THIS SPACE, WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO KICK IT OVER TO THE TABLETOPS HERE WHERE YOU CAN AFFORD MORE OF AN EXCHANGE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE CAMPUS LEVEL IN THIS SPACE.

AND SO MIKE IS GOING TO TALK US THROUGH THE BREAKOUT.

AND I SHOULD SAY THE SAME WAY.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THESE SLIDES BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD? WELL, I WOULD HAVE SOME QUESTIONS, BUT I'LL WAIT TILL THE BREAKOUT SESSIONS BECAUSE SOME OF THE CHARTS REALLY SHOW THAT WE'VE FROM 2020, WE'VE GONE DOWN.

SO, I'LL WAIT AND SEE THAT, YOU KNOW, ONLINE HAS BEEN PRETTY IMPORTANT.

AND A YEAR AGO WE WENT TO A HYBRID MODEL WHICH WAS DIFFERENT THAN WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST.

SO I'LL BE INTERESTED IN SOME OF THE DETAILS.

PERFECT. EXACTLY.

THANKS CHAD AND THE OF THE NEXT TWO SLIDES BECAUSE I ONLY HAVE TWO SLIDES.

THE LAST ONE IS THE HARDEST AND MOST IMPORTANT.

OKAY. SO JUST PAY ATTENTION.

SO THIS IS THE BREAKOUT TABLES IN TERMS OF WHO YOU'LL BE HEARING.

NOW, DO YOU REMEMBER HOW THIS WORKS? YES. YOU GET TO STAY IN PLACE.

THEY GET TO MOVE.

OKAY, SO THEY'RE AT ONE TABLE NOW AND THEN THEY WILL MOVE AS WE GO THROUGH THE TIMES.

BUT BUT IF YOU TAKE A MOMENT AND LOOK AT PARDON ME, LOOK AT WHO WILL BE AT THE TABLE AS YOUR EXPERTS.

IT'S REALLY LED BY THE CHANCELLORS AND THAT'S WHAT REGENT GALLEGOS TO YOUR POINT, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED THAT YEAR, YEAR AND A HALF AGO. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE TIME FRAME IT WAS.

ALL RIGHT. IT'S THE CAMPUSES AND THE CHANCELLORS ARE LEADING THAT.

BUT THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ON EACH OF THE TABLES LIKE THE 1 OR 2 KEY PEOPLE ON THE CAMPUS THAT ARE THE EXPERTS, NOT THEY'RE TEACHING A BUNCH OF ONLINE COURSES NECESSARILY, BUT THEY'RE RUNNING THIS SO THEY'LL BE ABLE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.

SO, THIS IS A GREAT TEAM OF PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THE QUESTIONS YOU HAVE AND GET A SENSE OF HOW THIS IS MOVING FORWARD.

NOW, THE HARD PART.

HEY, REMEMBER.

REMEMBER THIS? OKAY. WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

[01:15:05]

SEE. ALL RIGHT, SO I'M THREE.

EVERYBODY GOT THEIR NUMBER.

EVERYBODY READY? OKAY.

BECAUSE ALL WE'RE GOING TO DO NOW IS STAND UP AND GO TO THAT TABLE.

SO DON'T GET LOST.

OKAY. SO, WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE TABLE.

THANK YOU.

OKAY. THE MEETING WILL COME BACK TO ORDER.

FIRST UP TODAY IS THE FINANCE COMMITTEE DISCUSSION AND SOME ACTION ITEMS.

[K. 8:30 a.m. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 - MEETING RESUMES, CALL TO ORDER, Chair Rennison presiding - CU Denver Business School, Jake Jabs Event Center, 1475 Lawrence Street, Denver, CO 80202 (Large Conference Room on the First Floor)]

I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO REGENT CHAVEZ FOR THIS PORTION.

[L. 8:35 a.m. FINANCE COMMITTEE DISCUSSION AND ACTION ITEMS]

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

THE FINANCE COMMITTEE MET ON AUGUST 28TH.
