Professor Korevaar received this award in September 2019, but was unable to attend the board meeting at that time.
BASIS FOR THE RECOMMENDATION:
(Excerpted from nomination)
Professor Korevaar is an exceptionally gifted pianist who has performed at distinguished venues of significance, both nationally and internationally. His reputation as a performer derives from his incredible technical command and creative approach to musical interpretation, both of which allow him to perform at the very highest levels in solo, chamber, and orchestral roles. Professor Korevaar has received numerous awards including the American Critics Choice CD for his solo performance of the Bach Partitas, as well as critical acclaim by the London Sunday Times for his CD of Beethoven Sonatas for Violin and Piano (Russ Moore, 2019). David's approach to the literature is notable in other ways; he has long championed living composers, such as Lowell Lieberman....¶ Since his CU appointment in 2000, he has released (in commercial distribution) 34 compact discs (Dan Sher, 2019). Professor Korevaar is also a distinguished and published scholar whose work explores a rich variety of keyboard literatures, and the works of past as well as living composers, and their historical interconnection….¶ Teaching is an area in which Professor Korevaar excels, and for which he enjoys a strong national and international reputation. Korevaar’s students have won prestigious national competitions, received various grants and awards, and many of them are teaching in colleges and universities throughout the country. He is recognized as a leading pedagogue internationally and is frequently invited to hold master classes at universities and conservatories both in the US and throughout the world (Russ Moore, 2019).

The 2022 meeting schedule includes:
The proposed schedule does not include board committee meeting dates (Audit, Finance, Governance, and University Affairs)
The proposed schedule was created in consultation with the regents’ and president’s calendars.
PREVIOUS ACTION(S):
The 2021 board meeting schedule was approved on September 12, 2019.
CHAIR'S SIGNATURE:
See attachments. This was reviewed by the Governance Committee at its May 29, 2020, and August 19, 2020, meetings, and was also reviewed by the Finance Committee. Notice of Motion was provided at the June 18, 2020, regular board meeting.
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.
CHANCELLOR'S SIGNATURE:
PRESIDENT'S SIGNATURE:
RECOMMENDATION FROM: Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano
STATEMENT OF INFORMATION:
I have reviewed these sabbatical applications and approve them. I attest that they are consistent with all requirements of regent policy.
PREVIOUS ACTION(S): None
CHANCELLOR'S SIGNATURE:
PRESIDENT'S SIGNATURE:
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.

PRESIDENT'S SIGNATURE:
On August 4, 2020, the Governance and University Affairs Committees held a joint meeting. The report is attached.

RECOMMENDATION FROM: Dan J. Wilson, Treasurer of the University of Colorado
STATEMENT OF INFORMATION:
See the attached information.
TREASURER'S SIGNATURE:
PRESIDENT'S SIGNATURE:
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:
See the attached report.
See the attached documents.
RECOMMENDATION FROM:
See the attached information. The recommended changes were discussed in the Governance Committee meeting on August 19, 2020.
Having no further business, the board business meeting was adjourned at TIME
