ACTION (Consent), University of Colorado Colorado Springs
Recommended Action
RESOLVED that the Board of Regents approves the UCCS Engineering Building Addition Program Plan.

RECOMMENDATION FROM:  

 

Chancellor Reddy

 

STATEMENT OF INFORMATION:  

 

The University of Colorado Colorado Springs is proposing an approximately 24,000-square-foot annex to the engineering building to accommodate continued growth in engineering programs.  Currently, the 1,700-student College of Engineering and Applied Science (EAS) grows at a rate of about 3 percent a year.  The university estimates that the current growth rate coupled with expected growth from new EAS programs will result in an EAS population of between 2,400 and 2,600 students by 2026.  However, the existing facilities cannot accommodate this estimated growth. 

 

The workforce needs in Colorado Springs and southern Colorado are greater than the university's capacity to deliver engineers and computer scientists to the region, so there is a need to grow the college to serve southern Colorado.  There are about 200 companies in the region seeking EAS graduates.  The university speaks to industry partners on a consistent basis and the primary request is for additional engineers and computer scientists.  A common theme for these requests includes an expanded intern supply leading to long-term employment.  Industry partners have indicated that long-term retention of graduates with technical depth is their priority, with local UCCS graduates representing the most reliable employee for long-term retention.

 

PREVIOUS ACTION(S):  

 

April 9, 2020: Regent Finance Committee approval of associated state-funded project to renovate the existing engineering building.

 

May 22, 2020: BOR approval of updated program plan for EAS Building.

ACTION (Consent)
Recommended Action
The Board of Regents concurs with the recommendation by Chancellor Phillip DiStefano that the PhD received by Carolina Daez in the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at the University of Colorado Boulder should be revoked, and hereby revokes such degree.

RECOMMENDATION FROM:  

Chancellor DiStefano, in consultation with Provost Moore.

 

 

STATEMENT OF INFORMATION:  

The Board of Regents received a recommendation from Chancellor Philip DiStefano that the Board of Regents revoke a PhD received by Carolina Daez in the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at the University Colorado Boulder.

 

Pursuant to Article 4.B, Laws of the Regents, “[o]nly the Board of Regents has the right to revoke a degree.” Regent Policy 4.B.6 provides further that, “[u]pon recommendation of the faculty and the chancellor, the Board of Regents may revoke a degree if it is discovered that degree requirements were not satisfied due to academic misconduct or administrative error.” Pursuant to Regent Policy 4.B.6, the procedures for revoking a degree shall be consistent with the corresponding Administrative Policy Statement 1039, Degree Revocation.That policy defines “Academic Misconduct” to include research misconduct that would have resulted in a failure to meet graduation requirements if discovered prior to awarding the degree.  

 

The Board of Regents has reviewed the underlying reports completed by the campus authorities, including faculty representatives and the Chancellor and Provost. Ms. Daez has not responded to the Regent’s offer to provide a written response.

 

The Board of Regents finds that Ms. Daez was given adequate notice of the allegations of against her, that she was provided an adequate opportunity to contest the allegations against her during the campus investigative process, and that she has received an adequate opportunity to respond to the recommended revocation of her degree.

 

The Board of Regents agrees with the conclusions reached by the CU Boulder Standing Committee on Research Misconduct, the Provost, and the Chancellor that Ms. Daez engaged in conduct which, had it been discovered prior to Ms. Daez completing her PhD dissertation and being awarded her degree, would have resulted in her failing to meet the necessary graduation requirements.

ACTION, University of Colorado System
Recommended Action
RESOLVED that the University of Colorado campuses may offer in-state tuition status to students who are residing in Colorado and in training in an elite-level sport authorized by the U. S. Olympic Committee in Colorado and the governing body for the athlete's Olympic, Paralympic, Pan American, or Parapan American sport.

RECOMMENDATION FROM: 

 

Senior Vice President for Strategy, Government Relations and CFO Todd Saliman

 

 

STATEMENT OF INFORMATION:

 

State law generally establishes whether students are classified as in-state students or out-of-state students for tuition purposes. However, with regard to certain types of students, state law also allows a governing board of state-supported institutions to adopt policies providing for in-state tuition classification.

 

The University of Colorado has a strong tradition of support for Olympic Athletes in residence at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. 

 

Legislation passed in 2017 broadened Olympic Athlete-related in-state classification from only those in residence at the United States Olympic Training Center to include elite level athletic trainees living in Colorado that are authorized by the U. S. Olympic Committee in Colorado and the governing body for the athlete's Olympic, Paralympic, Pan American, or Parapan American sport.

 

Consistent with expansions in in-state tuition classification, the proposed resolution authorizes the campuses to implement processes to offer in-state tuition status to students who are residing in Colorado and verified to be in training in an elite level sport, authorized by the U.S. Olympic Committee.   The effect of this is to expand in-state tuition classification to Olympic Athletes who are in training in Colorado but do not reside at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

 

PREVIOUS ACTION(S):

 

February 19, 2016, the Board of Regents approved a resolution authorizing campuses to offer In-state tuition classification for dependents of honorably discharged military members.

 

August 3, 2007, the Board of Regents approved a resolution authorizing the university to offer in-state tuition for students who move to Colorado for state economic development incentives pursuant to state law.

 

 

 

PRESIDENT'S SIGNATURE: 

 

 

 

Motion & Voting
RESOLVED that the University of Colorado campuses may offer in-state tuition status to students who are residing in Colorado and in training in an elite-level sport authorized by the U. S. Olympic Committee in Colorado and the governing body for the athlete's Olympic, Paralympic, Pan American, or Parapan American sport.
