September 14, 2006
AGENDA ITEM #7-a:
New Programs.
SUBJECT:
Oklahoma Panhandle State University (OPSU).
Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts.
Approval of request to offer the
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve OPSU’s request to offer the
Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts with the stipulation that continuation of the
program will depend upon meeting the criteria established by the institution and
approved by the State Regents as described below.
•
Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts. Continuation beyond fall 2010 will depend upon:
Majors enrolled: a minimum of 24 students in fall 2009
Graduates: a minimum of 5 graduates in 2009-10
BACKGROUND:
Academic Plan
OPSU’s Academic Plan lists the following institutional priorities:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

1
APRA Implementation
Since 1991-92, OPSU has deleted 19 degree and/or certificate programs while adding 9 degree and/or
certificate programs.
Program Review
OPSU offers 32 degree programs (6 associate and 26 baccalaureate), all of which were reviewed in the
past five years with the exception of those programs with specialty accreditation. Programs with specialty
accreditation are aligned with OPSU’s program review schedule as appropriate. Thus, if a professional
program received a ten-year accreditation, it would not be reviewed for ten years, which is an approved
exception to State Regents’ policy.
Program Development Process
OPSU faculty developed the proposal, which was reviewed and approved by institutional officials and
OPSU’s governing board.
POLICY ISSUES:
This action is consistent with the State Regents’ “Academic Program Approval” policy.
ANALYSIS:
Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts
Program purpose. The proposed program will prepare graduates to appreciate and understand the arts
and creativity.
Program rationale/background. OPSU indicates that it no longer has a baccalaureate program that
affords students an opportunity to study arts, humanities, literature, history, and music in a coherent
program. As a rural institution and the only baccalaureate provider in the Oklahoma panhandle, OPSU
indicates an interest from students for a broad humanities and liberal arts program in its service area.
Employment opportunities. OPSU indicates this program will serve the large population of
nontraditional students with talents and interests in various fields of the humanities, who have requested
such an offering. OPSU students indicate their interest is exploring courses in history, art, philosophy,
music, humanities, literature, and drama to enhance their other skills and abilities. Although this program
will not prepare students for a specific career field, it will be a broad based program that will provide a
breadth of soft skills requested by many employers today.
Student demand. The new program is expected to enroll a minimum of 24 majors in fall 2009 and
graduate a minimum of 5 students in 2009-10.
Duplication/impact on existing programs. The University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University,
Langston University, Rogers State University, and the University of Central Oklahoma offer similar
programs. However, due to distance between institutions, approval will not constitute unnecessary
duplication.
2
Curriculum. The proposed program will consist of 124 total credit hours from the following areas
(Attachment A): general education (41 credit hours), major courses (43 credit hours), core requirements
(18 credit hours), language other than English (4-8 credit hours), and minor courses (18 credit hours). No
new courses will be added with the proposed program.
Faculty and staff. Existing faculty will teach the proposed program.
Support services. Facilities, library resources, and equipment are adequate.
Financing. OPSU indicates the program will utilize existing resources and not require reallocation of
funds. No funding is requested from the State Regents for the proposed program.

AGENDA ITEM #7-b:
New Programs.
SUBJECT:
Langston University (LU). Approval of request to offer the Master of Science in Visual
Rehabilitation Services.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve LU’s requests to offer the Master
of Science in Visual Rehabilitation Services with the stipulation that continuation of
the program will depend upon meeting the criteria established by the institution and
•
Master of Science in Visual Rehabilitation Services. Continuation beyond fall 2011
will depend upon:
BACKGROUND:
Academic Plan
LU’s Academic Plan lists the following institutional priorities for the LU System:
•
•
•
Priority One: continue to shape/strengthen undergraduate/graduate curricula, making the best use of
teaching resources, academic efficiencies, and emerging technologies in supporting teaching/
learning;
Priority Two: collaborate with institutions of comparable size/interest, the government, and
public/private sector to produce competitive advantage in the global marketplace; and
Priority Three: increase scholarly research activities among faculty, as well as among
graduate/undergraduate students.
APRA Implementation
Since 1991-92, LU has deleted 12 degree and/or certificate programs while adding 10 degree and/or
Program Review
LU offers 39 degree programs (8 associate, 27 baccalaureate, 3 master’s-level, and 1 first professional),
all of which were reviewed in the past five years with the exception of those programs with specialty
accreditation. Programs with specialty accreditation are aligned with LU’s program review schedule as
5
appropriate. Thus, if a professional program received a ten-year accreditation, it would not be reviewed
for ten years, which is an approved exception to State Regents’ policy.
LU faculty developed the proposal, which was reviewed and approved by institutional officials and LU’s
governing board.
POLICY ISSUES:
ANALYSIS:
Master of Science in Visual Rehabilitation Services
Program purpose. The proposed program will prepare graduates to provide quality services to the blind
or visually impaired through public rehabilitation, non-profit agencies, and in educational settings.
Program rationale/background.
LU has been working with the Oklahoma Department of
Rehabilitative Services to meet expected demands for personnel in the agency. By the year 2007, the
agency expects 12 percent of its workforce to retire, with 50 percent of the certified personnel in the
Visual Services division eligible to retire in the next 24 months. Due to these alarming forecasts, LU
faculty began working on development of a program to meet these anticipated needs.
Employment opportunities. LU indicates there are severe shortages looming for visual rehabilitation
specialists, as over 50,000 Americans lose their sight each year. The numbers indicate that 5,000
additional teachers, and over 10,000 orientation and mobility specialists are needed immediately to meet
the current demand. Studies also indicate there is a growing need for visual rehabilitation specialists and
orientation and mobility specialists from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. LU is confident students
will have ample employment opportunities.
Duplication/impact on existing programs. Similar programs are offered at the University of Oklahoma
Health Sciences Center and East Central University, although there are differences in the full curriculum.
Due to curricular differences, distance between institutions, and demand, approval will not constitute
unnecessary duplication.
(Attachment A): core foundation courses (36 credit hours), Certified Visual Rehabilitation Therapist
(CVRT) specific courses, and Certified Orientation and mobility Specialist (COMS) specific courses
(total 21 credit hours). The CVRT and COMS courses will require a 350 hour internship in coordination
with the Oklahoma Department of Rehabilitation Services Visual Services Division. Seven new courses
will be added to the proposed program and are asterisked. LU intends to seek accreditation from the
Academy for Certified Vision Rehabilitation and Education Professionals.
Faculty and staff. Existing faculty will teach the proposed program, with the addition of one program
director and one new faculty position.
6
Support services. Facilities, library resources, and equipment are adequate, with additional resources
available through other libraries around the state.
Financing. LU indicates the proposed program will be funded through a grant from the U.S. Department
of Education – Rehabilitation Services. At the end of the grant funding, LU intends to use resources from
other non-state sources and existing internal funds. No funding is requested from the State Regents from
the proposed program.

Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
AGENDA ITEM #7-c:
New Programs.
SUBJECT:
Northeastern State University (NSU). Approval of request to offer the Bachelor of Arts
in Visual Communications with options in Photography and Multimedia/Web Design.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve NSU’s requests to offer the
Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communication with options in Photography and
Multimedia/Web Design with the stipulation that continuation of the program will
depend upon meeting the criteria established by the institution and approved by the
State Regents, as detailed below.
•
Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communication. Continuation beyond fall 2011 will
depend upon:
BACKGROUND:
Academic Plan
NSU’s Academic Plan lists the following institutional priorities:
•
PRIORITY 1 - Maintain controlled growth on the Broken Arrow campus to avoid budgetary and
staffing complications as that campus doubles its physical plant size over the next two years, an
expansion that will remove some of the artificial restrictions on program delivery and enrollment at
that site.
Objective: develop overall plan of program expansion for each campus, with a time schedule that
assures academic development at Broken Arrow will not create budgetary disruption at that site and
will not adversely impact the programs at our other two campuses.
•
PRIORITY 2 - Efficiently utilize available resources to meet the multiple demands in the region
served including new niche programs and an expanded graduate and undergraduate curriculum, while
eliminating programs with declining societal need and minimal productivity.
Objective: assess carefully the demand for proposed program and, at the same time and analyze all
costs. Analysis requires continuing the practice of deleting lower demand programs and reallocating
funds to new programs.
9
•
PRIORITY 3 Improve flexibility in academic offerings by increasing the number of
videoconference and online classes providing a more flexible scheduling pattern for potential students
who have time constraints, and improving the technical capabilities of a larger percentage of our
classrooms on all campuses permitting greater flexibility in course delivery methods.
Objective: continue to increase enrollment the next two years.
•
PRIORITY 4 - Continue to increase student retention and graduation rates and first-time freshmen,
transfer students, and international students.
Objective: target these groups with the goal of achieving successful increases in each of the three
categories during the next academic year the goal is to increase first-time freshmen and transfer
students by three percent, to improve retention rate (which remains higher than the target rate for
regional institutions in the state) by one percent, to increase the graduation rate by one percent, and to
continue to attract international students. A further objective is to continue the study of selected
general education courses to determine failure/repeat rate is in line with similar courses throughout
the State.
•
PRIORITY 5 - Increase efforts to recruit faculty with greater ethnic and gender diversity with
academic credentials from a wider range of higher education institutions.
Objective: through faculty recruitment in each of the next three years, employ a higher level of ethnic
and gender diversity throughout all of our colleges and a broader range of academic credentials.
APRA Implementation
Since 1991-92, NSU has deleted 27 degree and/or certificate programs while adding 20 degree and/or
Program Review
NSU offers 90 degree programs (60 baccalaureate, 20 master’s-level, 1 first professional, and 9
certificates), all of which were reviewed in the past five years with the exception of those programs
with specialty accreditation. Programs with specialty accreditation are aligned with NSU’s
program review schedule as appropriate. Thus, if a professional program received a ten-year
accreditation, it would not be reviewed for ten years, which is an approved exception to State
Regents’ policy.
NSU faculty developed the proposal, which was reviewed and approved by institutional officials
and NSU’s governing board.
POLICY ISSUES:
ANALYSIS:
Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communication

Program purpose. The proposed program will prepare graduates to conceptualize and design using the
latest available technology and effective communications for distribution across multimedia.
Program rationale/background. NSU indicates the explosion of communication and entertainment
outlets, websites, cable and network television, and video games has increased the demand for creative
visual thinkers to provide new and fresh content for these media. As many institutions across the country
are working to create similar programs, NSU has many of the resources available. The proposal
presented leverages current resources and expertise to create a new program that will provide new
avenues to students and provide an opportunity to make them competitive for this growing field.
Employment opportunities. NSU reports research from the Bureau of Labor that projects growth in art
and design occupations, such as multi-media artists, animators, graphic designers, and media and
communications occupations, such as photographers. Demand for positions in these areas is expected to
increase by 12 to 15 percent by 2014. NSU also notes that graduates from this program will have
opportunities in advertising, marketing, promotions, public relations, and sales manager positions. NSU
is confident graduates will have no difficulties finding employment.
Duplication/impact on existing programs. Southeastern Oklahoma State University offers a similar
program, and there are options under programs at the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma Panhandle
State University with similar content; however, due to the distance between programs and foci of the
programs, approval will not constitute unnecessary duplication.
Curriculum. The proposed program will consist of 124 total credit hours, with options in “Photography”
and “Multimedia/Web Design” with courses from the following areas (Attachment A): general education
(45-49 credit hours), major courses (28 credit hours), option requirements (15 credit hours), minor
courses (18 credit hours), and electives (14-18 credit hours). Four new courses will be added with the
proposed program and are asterisked.
Faculty and staff. Existing faculty will teach the program.
Financing. NSU indicates internal funds will support the proposed program. No funding is requested
from the State Regents for the proposed program.

Program Review
SEOSU offers 52 degree programs (44 baccalaureate and 8 master’s-level), all of which were reviewed in
the past five years with the exception of those programs with specialty accreditation. Programs with
specialty accreditation are aligned with SEOSU’s program review schedule as appropriate. Thus, if a
professional program received a ten-year accreditation, it would not be reviewed for ten years, which is an
approved exception to State Regents’ policy.
13
SEOSU faculty developed the proposal, which was reviewed and approved by institutional officials and
SEOSU’s governing board.
POLICY ISSUES:
This action is consistent with the State Regents’ policies including “Academic Program Approval” and
“Electronically Delivered and Traditional Off-Campus Courses and Programs” policies.
ANALYSIS:
Master of Science in Occupational Safety and Health
Program purpose. The proposed program will prepare graduates with advanced ability to analyze and
interpret safety data, evaluate hazardous safety and health conditions, develop safety and health hazard
control designs, and obtain advanced positions in occupational safety and health fields or be prepared for
doctoral study.
Program rationale/background. Prior to 1988, the Bachelor of Science in Occupational Safety and
Health (058) offered by SEOSU was designed to prepare driver education teachers. As the field evolved,
the focus of the program changed to occupational safety and health. As the focus of the program has
changed, so has the popularity of the program. In 2000, the program had 85 majors. By 2005, the
program has almost 300 majors and averages about 70 graduates per year. As the undergraduate program
has grown, alumni of this program have requested an advanced degree in Occupational Safety and Health.
Employment opportunities. SEOSU indicates this program will prepare graduates to meet the growing
demand for credentialed safety professionals. A growing demand in this field was observed by SEOSU
participants at the 2005 annual conference of the American Society of Safety Engineers. This group
forecasts overwhelming demand for safety professionals with advanced degrees, and expect continued
growth with every national and international emergency. Further, the student will be prepared to pursue
graduate work in the same field. SEOSU is confident students will have ample employment
opportunities.
Student demand. The new program is expected to enroll a minimum of 35 majors by fall 2009 and
Duplication/impact on existing programs. There are no similar programs offered currently in the State
System. Therefore, approval will not constitute unnecessary duplication.
(Attachment A): required courses (31 credit hours) and electives (3 credit hours). Fifteen new courses
will be added with the proposed program. SEOSU intends to seek accreditation for the program from the
American Board of Engineering Technology (ABET) and the National Association of Industrial
Technology (NAIT).
Faculty and staff. Existing faculty will teach the proposed degree program.
Support services. Facilities and equipment are adequate. SEOSU intends to purchase advanced
industrial hygiene databases for the program at an anticipated cost of $15,000.
14
Financing. SEOSU indicates the proposed program will be funded through existing institutional funds,
student tuition and fees, and corporate equipment donations. No funding is requested from the State
Regents for the proposed program.
Electronic delivery. The proposed program will be delivered using electronic media. Specifically,
program offerings will be made available via online instruction. SEOSU successfully completed a best
practices review in support of final authorization to offer the Masters in Business Administration degree
via electronic media at the October 30, 2003 meeting. Consistent with the Electronic Media Policy, the
institution is authorized to offer specified additional existing programs via electronic media without
repeating the best practice review process. However, since the Master of Science in Occupational Safety
and Health is a new program, continuation of the program including electronic delivery beyond fall 2010
will be contingent upon the program meeting the productivity criteria established by SEOSU and
approved by the State Regents, as outlined above.

Program Review
SWOSU offers 60 degree programs (8 associate, 39 baccalaureate, 12 master’s-level, and 1 first
professional), all of which were reviewed in the past five years with the exception of those programs with
specialty accreditation. Programs with specialty accreditation are aligned with SWOSU’s program
review schedule as appropriate. Thus, if a professional program received a ten-year accreditation, it
would not be reviewed for ten years, which is an approved exception to State Regents’ policy.
SWOSU faculty developed the proposal, which was reviewed and approved by institutional officials and
SWOSU’s governing board.
POLICY ISSUES:
ANALYSIS:
Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science
Program purpose. The proposed program prepares graduates to provide preventative health services in

Program Review
UCO offers 88 degree programs (60 baccalaureate, 27 master’s-level, and 1 certificate), all of which were
reviewed in the past five years with the exception of those programs with specialty accreditation.
Programs with specialty accreditation are aligned with UCO’s program review schedule as appropriate.
Thus, if a professional program received a ten-year accreditation, it would not be reviewed for ten years,
which is an approved exception to State Regents’ policy.
UCO faculty developed the proposal, which was reviewed and approved by institutional officials and
UCO’s governing board.
POLICY ISSUES:
This action is consistent with the State Regents’ “Academic Program Approval”policy.
ANALYSIS:
Master of Music in Jazz Studies
Program purpose. The proposed program will prepare graduates for a career in the jazz and commercial
music industry with skills in commercial music production, jazz improvisation, composition, and
arranging.
Program rationale/background. The UCO College of Arts, Media, and Design and the School of
Music recognize the dramatic growth in the study and performance of jazz and commercial music. Many
highly respected universities and conservatories across the nation offer jazz and commercial music degree
programs. For UCO students to be competitive in this growing market, the faculty researched its
capabilities, current offerings, resources, and the potential market of students in Oklahoma. From this
research, faculty developed the program proposal, in accordance with standards by the National
Association of Schools of Music.
Employment opportunities. UCO indicates this program will prepare graduates as public school
teachers, those interested in technical, production, and management aspects of the recording industry,
students planning doctoral studies, and professional musicians desiring performance and production
experiences in jazz and commercial music styles. UCO is confident students will have no difficulties
finding employment opportunities.
Duplication/impact on existing programs. Northeastern State University has an option under its
Bachelor of Arts in Music, but there are no similar programs in the State System at the graduate level.
Therefore, approval will not constitute unnecessary duplication.
Curriculum. The proposed program will consist of 34 total credit hours, with options in “Jazz Studies Performance” and “Jazz Studies – Commercial Music Production” with courses from the following areas
(Attachment A): core requirements (25-29 credit hours), and option courses (5-9 credit hours). Twelve
22
new courses will be added with the proposed program and are asterisked. UCO intends to seek approval
of the program by the National Association of Schools of Music.
Faculty and staff. Existing faculty will teach the proposed program. UCO expects demand for the
program to require the addition of an adjunct faculty member in the second year of operation, culminating
with the addition of a new full-time faculty member by the third year of operation.
Support services. Facilities, library resources, and equipment are adequate. Of note is the UCO Jazz
Lab with one of the largest jazz music libraries in the state of Oklahoma, in addition to the resources in
the School of Music and the Max Chambers Library.
Financing. UCO indicates the program will be funded with internal funds. No funding is requested from
the State Regents for the proposed program.

Program Review
OSU-CHS offers 5 degree programs (3 master’s-level, 1 doctoral, and 1 first professional), all of which
were reviewed in the past five years with the exception of those programs with specialty accreditation.
Programs with specialty accreditation are aligned with OSU-CHS’s program review schedule as
appropriate. Thus, if a professional program received a ten-year accreditation, it would not be reviewed

OSU-CHS faculty developed the proposal, which was reviewed and approved by institutional officials
and OSU-CHS’s governing board.
POLICY ISSUES:
ANALYSIS:
Certificate in Forensic Examination of Questioned Documents
Program purpose. The proposed program will provide support in the training of questioned documents
examiners.
Program rationale/background.
OSU-CHS received approximately 60 letters requesting the
development of advanced questioned documents courses. OSU-CHS offers the Master of Forensic
Sciences Administration (003), which includes some of these courses. In response, OSU-CHS developed
the 12-hour course of study that would support the professional certification process for document
examiners. At the 61st Annual Conference of the American Society of Questioned Document Examiners,
OSU-CHS faculty made presentations regarding the planned development of the certificate program and
the graduate degree offered. Following review of the OSU-CHS proposed program, the American Board
of Forensic Document Examiners made a decision to recognize the proposed coursework as meeting part
of the academic training requirement for document examiners who are completing required components
of its professional certification.
Employment opportunities. OSU-CHS indicates this certificate will prepare graduates for positions as
document examiners for such agencies as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Secret
Service, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the Inspector General for Tax Administration, The U.S.
Bureau of Engraving and Printing’s Advanced Counterfeit Deterrent Section, the U.S. Department of
Justice, Immigrations and Naturalization Service, and the Central Intelligence Agency. These agencies,
among others in the document examination industry expect a shortage of document examiners as many
professionals approach retirement age. OSU-CHS is confident students will have ample employment
opportunities.

29
Program Review
OSU-OKC offers 44 degree or certificate programs (7 associates, 32 associate in applied science, and 5
certificates), all of which were reviewed in the past five years with the exception of those programs with
specialty accreditation. For programs with specialty accreditation, OSU-OKC aligns its program review
schedule with the accreditation cycles, so that programs are reviewed when faculty are preparing for an
accreditation visit. Thus, if a professional program receives a ten-year accreditation, it would not be
reviewed for ten years, which is an approved exception to State Regents’ policy.
OSU-OKC faculty developed the proposal, which was reviewed and approved by institutional officials
and OSU-OKC’s governing board.
POLICY ISSUES:
ANALYSIS:
Certificate in Montessori Teacher Education
Program purpose. The proposed program will prepare students to work as lead infant/toddler caregivers
in a center-based program and/or as the sole caregiver in a family child care home-based business,
following the Montessori philosophy.
Program rationale/background. OSU-OKC is responding to the call for an entry-level training
program in the Montessori philosophy of education for young children. The Montessori approach offers a
broad vision of education as an aid to life. Montessori is designed to help children with their task of inner
construction as they grow from childhood to maturity. Montessori classrooms provide a prepared
environment where children are free to respond to their natural drive to work and learn. Children’s
inherent love of learning is encouraged by giving them opportunities to engage in spontaneous,
meaningful activities under the guidance of a trained adult. Through their work, the children develop
concentration, motivation, persistence, and discipline, at their own pace and rhythm, according to their
individual capabilities. OSU-OKC is working with the Department of Human Services Division of Child
Care and members of the American Montessori Society to develop the certificate. It also has a
partnership with Oklahoma City University, which offers a four-year program in Montessori teacher
preparation.
Employment opportunities. OSU-OKC indicates that program graduates will be highly sought as the
demand for infant/toddler child care grows. There is high demand for child-care providers; especially for
babies and toddlers in seven counties in the Oklahoma City Metropolitan area. Also, more families desire
higher quality care for children during the critical developmental years of birth to five-years. The U.S.
Department of Labor documents the increasing demand for trained workers in these areas as well. OSUOKC is confident that graduates will have no difficulties finding employment.
Student demand. The new certificate is expected to enroll a minimum of 20 students in fall 2010 and
30
Duplication/Impact on existing programs. There are no similar certificate programs offered in the
State System, so approval will not constitute unnecessary duplication.
Curriculum. The proposed certificate will consist of 36 total credit hours from the following areas
(Attachment A): general education courses (3 credit hours) and technical specialty courses (33 credit
hours). Six new courses will be added with the proposed program and are asterisked.
Faculty and staff. Existing faculty will teach the proposed certificate program, with the addition of an
adjunct instructor with qualifications in Montessori education. At maturity, OSU-OKC anticipates the
demand to warrant a full-time faculty position with Montessori qualifications. No additional faculty
resources are requested.
Support services. The library, facilities, and equipment are adequate, and current funds will be utilized
to acquire additional Montessori specific teaching materials and classroom resources.
Financing. OSU-OKC indicates reallocation of existing resources and student tuition will support the
proposed program. No additional funding is requested for this program.

Increase the number of AAS degrees offered by CASC.
33
APRA Implementation
Since 1991-92, CASC has deleted 12 degree and/or certificate programs while adding 9 degree and/or
Program Review
CASC offers 34 degree programs (23 associates, 8 associate in applied science, and 3 certificates), all of
which were reviewed in the past five years with the exception of those programs with specialty
accreditation. For programs with specialty accreditation, CASC aligns its program review schedule with
the accreditation cycles, so that programs are reviewed when faculty are preparing for an accreditation
visit. Thus, if a professional program receives a ten-year accreditation, it would not be reviewed for ten
years, which is an approved exception to State Regents’ policy.
CASC faculty developed the proposal, which was reviewed and approved by institutional officials and
CASC’s governing board.
POLICY ISSUES:
This action is consistent with the State Regents’ “Academic Program Approval” and the “Delivery of
Electronically Delivered and Traditional Off-Campus Courses and Programs” policies.
ANALYSIS:
Associate in Arts in Film Studies
Program purpose. The proposed program will prepare students for work in feature filmmaking,
documentary, technical production, writing/editing, corporate marketing, or public relations.
Program rationale/background. As the film industry becomes increasingly global, filmmakers no
longer need to relocate to accomplish their goals. Independent filmmakers are in every corner of the
globe utilizing the Internet and digital editing technology. Many businesses are turning to video
production for clients, customers, and product information. Students with expertise in this area will have
many opportunities.
Employment opportunities. Graduates will be qualified to seek positions in filmmaking and
documentary production in Oklahoma and elsewhere.
In addition, the preparation in mass
communications will provide foundational preparation for work in other areas of journalism. CASC has
working relationships with the Oklahoma Film and Music Commission and the Oklahoma Film and
Video Studies Society to provide further opportunities to students. CASC is confident graduates of this
program will have no difficulties finding employment.
Duplication/Impact on existing programs. Oklahoma City Community College offers a similar
program in film and video production; however, considering the expected demand for the proposed
program and the distance between institutions, approval will not constitute unnecessary duplication.
34
Curriculum. The proposed program will consist of 63-65 total credit hours from the following areas
(Attachment A): general education courses (40 credit hours), major core courses (16 credit hours), and
guided electives (7-9 credit hours). Six new courses will be added with the proposed program and are
asterisked.
Financing. CASC will utilize internal reallocation of funds to support the program and grant funding for
some equipment purchase. No funding is requested from the State Regents for the proposed program.
Certificate in Dietary Management
Program purpose. The proposed program will prepare students for work in food service facilities and
prepare them for successful completion of the credentialing examination for Certified Dietary Managers.
Program rationale/background. A growing need was found in southeastern Oklahoma for trained
managers in food service facilities. Through a telephone survey of agencies and facilities in the area,
respondents expressed need for employees with training and professional competence in dietary
management positions.
Employment opportunities. Graduates will be qualified to seek positions in long-term care facilities,
hospitals and school cafeterias, as well as other food service facilities. CASC is confident graduates of
this program will have no difficulties finding employment.
Duplication/Impact on existing programs. There are no similar certificate programs offered in the
State System, so approval will not constitute unnecessary duplication.
(Attachment B): general education courses (9 credit hours) and technical specialty courses (21 credit
hours). Six new courses will be added with the proposed program and are asterisked. CASC will seek
accreditation by the Dietary Managers Association for this program.
Faculty and staff. CASC will designate one faculty member to teach in the program and serve as the
program director. As the program matures, CASC anticipates the addition of one adjunct instructor.
Financing. CASC will utilize internal reallocation of funds to support the program. No funding is
requested from the State Regents for the proposed program.
Electronic delivery. The proposed program will be delivered using electronic media. Specifically,
program offerings will be made available via online instruction. CASC successfully completed a best
practices review in support of final authorization to offer the Associate in Arts in Business Administration
via electronic media. CASC’s best practice review was accepted by the State Regents at the June 30,
2005 meeting. Consistent with the Electronic Media Policy, the institution is with State Regents’
35
approval, the institution is authorized to offer additional existing programs via electronic media without
the 2-step approval process that includes a best practice review.
Certificate in Office Science
Program purpose. The proposed program will prepare students for entry level positions in clerical areas.
Program rationale/background. CASC is working with the local Department of Human Services office
to provide specialized services to clients receiving Temporary Aid for Needy Families (TANF) assistance.
The proposed certificate program will provide a vehicle for clients to attain basic job skills, along with
some basic academic skills to increase employability and lessen reliance on public assistance.
Employment opportunities. Graduates will be qualified to seek positions in the local community of
business and industry as clerical employees. CASC will work closely with TANF staff on placement of
students completing the certificate program. It will also provide an opportunity for students to attain
success in an academic setting and promote further educational attainment.
Duplication/Impact on existing programs. Most community colleges, such as Connors State College,
Eastern Oklahoma State College, Murray State College, Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College,
Oklahoma City Community College, Rose State College, Seminole State College, Tulsa Community
College, and Western Oklahoma State College, offer a similar certificate program to address local
business and industry needs,. Considering the distance between institutions and the place-bound nature of
the target student population, approval will not constitute unnecessary duplication.
(Attachment C): core courses (21 credit hours), option area courses (6 credit hours), and elective (3 credit
hours). No new courses will be added to the proposed program.
Financing. CASC will utilize internal reallocation of funds to support the program. No funding is
requested from the State Regents for the proposed program.

AGENDA ITEM #7-j:
New Programs.
SUBJECT:
Redlands Community College (RCC). Approval of request to offer the Certificate in
Computer Forensic Science.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve RCC’s request to offer the
Certificate in Computer Forensic Science with the stipulation that continuation of
the program will depend upon meeting the criteria established by the institution and
approved by the State Regents as detailed below
•
Certificate in Computer Forensic Science. Continuation beyond fall 2010 will
depend upon:
BACKGROUND:
Academic Plan
RCC’s Academic Plan lists the following institutional priorities:
• Enhance overall effectiveness of the institution through planning and decision-making processes
supported by collecting/using relevant data, cost-effective fiscal operations, internal
instructional/management review process, improved physical facilities that enhance student learning;
• Increase/enhance institutional capacity to serve unique educational, personal, career needs of all
student, community, business constituents served by RCC;
• Increase institutional capacity to provide relevant/technologically advanced instructional support
resources, equipment, facilities to enhance student learning, business/industry training, economic
development;
• Develop/maintain faculty, staff, administrative competencies in new instructional/management
technologies;
• Seek additional/alternative sources of revenue that provide more consistent funding for RCC; and
• Continue developing, monitoring, maintaining assessment process to ensure data is utilized to
enhance student learning/instructional effectiveness.
APRA Implementation
Since 1991-92, RCC has deleted 42 degree and/or certificate programs while adding 12 degree and/or
41
Program Review
RCC offers 32 degree programs (26 associate and 6 certificates), all of which were reviewed in the past
five years with the exception of those programs with specialty accreditation. Programs with specialty
accreditation are aligned with RCC’s program review schedule as appropriate. Thus, if a professional
program received a ten-year accreditation, it would not be reviewed for ten years, which is an approved
exception to State Regents’ policy.
RCC faculty developed the proposal, which was reviewed and approved by institutional officials and
RCC’s governing board.
POLICY ISSUES:
ANALYSIS:
Certificate in Forensic Science
Program purpose. The proposed program will prepare students to work in the field of computer
forensics as an added credential rather than a full degree program.
Program rationale/background. The addition of a certificate program was suggested by the Computer
Forensic Science Advisory Committee, with a recommendation that some of these courses be offered
electronically. Advisory committee members encouraged RCC to develop the program and promote it to
employers who may be willing to support students in the additional training. Many of these employees
and students possess a degree and are interested in expanding their knowledge and skills for added job
responsibilities or other career options.
Employment opportunities. RCC indicates its advisory committee members, made up of local business
leaders in computer forensics has strong support for the certificate for new and current workers. As an
added credential, RCC is confident students completing the certificate program will have ample
employment or advancement opportunities.
Duplication/impact on existing programs. There are no similar programs in the State System.
Curriculum. The proposed program will consist of 24 total credit hours (Attachment A). No new
courses will be added to the proposed certificate.
Faculty and staff. Existing faculty will teach the certificate program.
42
Financing. RCC indicates the proposed certificate will be funded through internal funds. No funding is
requested from the State Regents.

AGENDA ITEM #8:
Program Deletions.
SUBJECT:
Approval of institutional requests.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve institutional requests for
program deletions as described below.
BACKGROUND:
Southeastern Oklahoma State University (SEOSU) requests authorization to delete the Bachelor of
Science in Technology (033) and the Bachelor of Arts in Social Gerontology (055).
Connors State College (CSC) requests authorization to delete the Associate of Science in Business
Accounting (004).
Rose State College (RSC) requests authorization to delete the Associate in Applied Science in Electronics
Technology (017), Associate in Applied Science in Aviation (016) and Associate in Applied Science in
Industrial Technology (116).
Oklahoma City Community College (OCCC) requests authorization to delete the Associate in Science in
Cyber/Information Security (141), Associate in Applied Science in Cyber/Information Security (140), and
the Certificate in Financial Services (118).
POLICY ISSUES:
This action is consistent with the State Regents’ policies on “Academic Program Review” and “Academic
Program Review.”
ANALYSIS:
SEOSU
SEOSU requests deletion of the Bachelor of Science in Technology (033) and the Bachelor of Arts in
Social Gerontology (055). SEOSU reports the Bachelor in Science Technology (033) was deleted from
the catalogue in December of 2000 due to no enrollment. No students remain in the program and no
funds are available for reallocation. The Bachelor of Arts in Social Gerontology (055) was suspended in
July 2003. Since that time, SEOSU has evaluated the program and determined there is no clear demand
for the program in southeastern Oklahoma. Three students still remain in the program and will be
allowed to complete the required curriculum for graduation. No new students have been admitted to the
program since 2003. No funds are available for reallocation.
45
CSC
CSC requests deletion of the Associate of Science in Business Accounting (004). The program was
suspended in June 2003. There as been no student or employer demand for this program since 2003. No
students remain in the program and no funds are available for reallocation.
RSC
RSC requests deletion of the Associate in Applied Science in Electronics Technology (017), Associate in
Applied Science in Aviation (016) and Associate in Applied Science in Industrial Technology (116). All
three programs were suspended in May 2005 due to low enrollment and graduation rates. No students
remain in the programs. The remaining funds will be reallocated to the Engineering and Science Division
to support further program development.
OCCC
OCCC requests deletion of the Associate in Science in Cyber/Information Security (141), Associate in
Applied Science in Cyber/Information Security (140), and the Certificate in Financial Services (118). It
has been determined the students prefer to receive and employers prefer to hire graduates with a computer
science degree with an emphasis in cyber/information security rather than an Associate in
Cyber/Information Security (141). The 19 remaining students are expected to graduate in spring 2008.
Funds will be redirected to Computer Science.
A similar finding was determined for the Associate in Applied Science in Cyber/Information Security
(140). The 52 remaining students are expected to graduate in spring 2008, with funds redirected to
Computer Science.
The Certificate in Financial Services (118) was suspended in August 2003 due to no enrollment. The
program was determined as non-viable with no student demand. No students remain in the program and
no funds are available for reallocation.

Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
AGENDA ITEM #9:
Policy-Institutional.
SUBJECT:
Oklahoma State University (OSU) posting of request to delay implementation of
increased admission standard.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents post OSU’s request to delay
implementation of increased admission standard Option 2 as described below.
BACKGROUND:
OSU was authorized in April 2004 to increase admission standards for first-time entering students. The
admission standards were to be incrementally increased over the next three years, beginning with the
2005-06 school year and ending with the 2007-2008 year (see table below). OSU has researched on the
success of the increased standards and is requesting that increased admission standard Option 2 (see gray
box) be delayed for at least two years. The OSU A&M governing board approved this request on June
23, 2006.

POLICY ISSUES:
The State Regents’ “Institutional Admission and Retention” policy establishes admission requirements
and principles for institutions. The policy encourages institutions to establish higher admissions
standards but at the same time these standards should be based on indices which have been shown to be
related to success in the program(s).
47
ANALYSIS:
OSU is approaching the third year (2007-2008) of increasing standards as indicated above. Analysis by
OSU's Division of Enrollment Management in cooperation with the Office of Institutional Research
indicates that both overall enrollment and diversity goals of the institution could be adversely affected by
implementing Option 2 (3.0 GPA and top 25%) during 2007-2008. Therefore, OSU requests approval to
delay for at least two years implementation of Option 2 and keep it at the 2006-2007 standard (3.0 GPA
and top 33%). Plans to implement Option 1 and 3 will take effect as planned in 2007-2008 because
research indicated that the ACT score criteria has resulted in a stronger class (as measured by ACT class
average). Approval to post OSU’s request to delay implementation of Option 2 as described above is
recommended.
48
Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
AGENDA ITEM #10-a:
Policy.
SUBJECT:
Teacher Shortage Employment Incentive Program (TSEIP).
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents post the proposed permanent rule
amendments for the Teacher Shortage Employment Incentive Program (TSEIP)
and initiate the process for the adoption of permanent rule revisions.
BACKGROUND:
During the 2000 legislative session, Senate Bill 1393 expressed intent that the State Regents implement a
program to reimburse student loan expenses for science and mathematics students who teach these
subjects in Oklahoma’s public schools for at least five (5) years. The 2001 legislature amended HB 1499
to ensure that all who meet the provisions of TSEIP are eligible to receive an incentive payment based on
a formula. TSEIP’s first graduating class received an incentive payment in July 2006.
Section 610:25-27-2 lists all educational student loans eligible for repayment under the TSEIP program.
Recently, the Higher Education Reconciliation Act (HERA) created a new type of loan called the
Graduate PLUS Loan that is also eligible under TSEIP rules. The proposed amendment would be to add
this loan to the list of eligible student loans and for it to be included in section 610:25-27-2 as subparagraph (6).
In section 610:25-27-4, under Coursework requirements for participant eligibility, sub-paragraph (4)
states that a participant must, “Secure employment to teach in either a science or mathematics subject
areas within sixteen months of graduating from a four-year institution in Oklahoma.” This employment
requirement is not related to coursework which is the focus of the section. Therefore, it is necessary to
delete sub-paragraph (4). No replacement language is necessary since sub-paragraph (3) of section
(610:25-27-6) adequately addresses the intent of the rule.
POLICY ISSUES:
Rules governing the TSEIP program must be adopted pursuant to APA rules. APA changes outlined in
this agenda item are necessary to be consistent with new law regarding Graduate Plus loans and to
remove an unnecessary rule.
ANALYSIS:
Undergraduates who uphold the requirements of the TSEIP and who subsequently obtain employment in
the required amount of time are eligible for the incentive payout. Changing the current rules as outlined
49
above will increase the type of loans eligible under TSEIP and eliminate an unnecessary section of the
rules. Approval of posting the APA rule amendments is recommended.
50
APA Excerpt from
SUBCHAPTER 27. TEACHER SHORTAGE EMPLOYMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM
610:25-27-2. Eligible student loans

(4) Secure employment to teach in either a science or mathematics subject areas within sixteen
months of graduating from a four-year institution in Oklahoma.
(5) (4) Participant must not have been certified to teach mathematics or science prior to signing the
Participation Agreement.

610:25-27-6. Participant eligibility for benefits of the TSEIP
In order to qualify to receive disbursement benefits under the TSEIP, the Participant must have:
(1) Obtained an initial teaching license and then a certificate and provided eligible full-time teaching
service under a regular teaching contract at an Oklahoma public school:
(A) at the secondary level,
(B) for five (5) consecutive school years,
(C) in the mathematics or science subject areas.
(2) Completed the five years of teaching, as required, with not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of
the teaching assignment meeting the criteria, as described in (A) of this subparagraph.
(3) Completed the first full year of eligible full-time teaching service, as described above, within
twenty-five (25) months from the date of graduation from a four-year institution in Oklahoma.
(4) Notwithstanding the provisions of this subparagraph, Participants may apply for a leave of
absence when a serious illness, pregnancy or other natural cause prevents the Participant from
continuing the coursework requirements or from providing consecutive full-time teaching service.
(A) Leaves of absence may not exceed more than one academic year and will not be included for
the purpose of calculating the consecutive five (5) years of teaching service.
(B) Participants must present official school documentation that a leave of absence has been
granted which meets the provisions of these rules. Official notification must be given within one
51
year that the teacher has resumed the teaching duties or Participant will be withdrawn from the
program.

Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
AGENDA ITEM #10-b:
Minority Teacher Recruitment Center.
SUBJECT:
Modification of the Minority Teacher Recruitment Center (MTRC) programs and
services outlined in the Rule and Executive Orders Document and State Regent’s policy.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents post revisions to the MTRC State Regent’s
policy and the APA permanent rule amendments for the MTRC and initiate the
process for the adoption of permanent rule revisions.
BACKGROUND:
Created in 1990 through House Bill 1017, the State Regents’ Minority Teacher Recruitment Center
(MTRC) is charged with developing and implementing programs to recruit and retain teachers in
Oklahoma public schools. In order to achieve this objective, MTRC conducts several programs and
offers various services that are outlined in the Rule and Executive Orders Document.
In section 610:1-13-3, under Programs and Services, the current document list programs that are no
longer offered by the MTRC Teacher Cadet and Pro Team. In 2001, with the creation of two new
Oklahoma specific curricula, Teacher Cadet was replaced by the Academic Commitment to Education
(ACE) Program and Pro Team was replaced by the Leadership, Education and Achievement Program
(LEAP). The proposed amendment to section 610:1-13-3 replaces the current content with new language.
POLICY ISSUES:
This change applies to the “Minority Teacher Recruitment Center” policy. It removes and adds specific
content in the Rules and Orders Document so that it corresponds with law and maintains accuracy,
requires amending the previous document made effective May 13, 2004.
Rules governing the MTRC program must be adopted pursuant to the APA.
ANALYSIS:
To achieve its primary goal of recruiting, retaining, and placing minority teachers in the public schools of
the State of Oklahoma, the MTRC offers a variety of programs and services. Parties interested in the
programs and services can obtain additional information by contacting the MTRC at the Oklahoma State
Regents for Higher Education office.
Changing the current descriptions listed under the MTRC “Programs and services” section, will reflect
the programs that MTRC currently administers. It will also reflect the legal change regarding new MTRC
curricula as mandated by copyright laws. Approval of the posting of the rule amendments as defined by
the Administrative Procedures Act is recommended.

(1) Teacher Cadet High School Program. The Teacher Cadet program serves as an outreach
effort creating an interest among high school students for teaching careers and promoting an
understanding of our nation’s education system. The Teacher Cadet curriculum consists of a
yearlong course taught at the high school site by teachers selected by the high school principal.
During the yearlong course, students examine how children learn, study the educational system
from a hands-on perspective, and gain practical experience in elementary, middle school and high
school classrooms.
(2) Pro Team Middle School Program. The goal of Pro Team program is to make middle
school and junior high school students aware of the skills needed to complete college and
consider education as a viable career option. During the semester-long course, students actively
participate in activities that focus on building self-esteem, helping others, developing group skills
and building a vision for a professional future.
(3) Collegiate Partnership Grant Program. The MTRC’s Collegiate Partnership Grant
Program provides grants to projects and activities that support the overall goals and objectives of
the MTRC. In this program, the MTRC provides funds to individual public school sites for the
Teacher Cadet and ProTeam programs, to school districts and institutions of higher education that
identify public school students interested in becoming teachers and provide on-campus activities
for them and their parents, as well as, activities that promote teacher education to undergraduate
students on the campus.
(1) Academic Commitment to Education (ACE). The ACE program is an exemplary program
that encourages high school students who possess high academic and leadership standards to
consider teaching as a viable career. The yearlong course is designed to provide
opportunities for students to explore the education system, learn about different areas and
levels of teaching, conduct observations and focus on portfolio development. The program
takes a hands-on, practical approach to teaching careers and is taught by instructors selected
by the school principal.
(2) Leadership, Education and Achievement Program (LEAP). LEAP is a course designed
for middle and junior high school students and targeted towards those students that exhibit
the potential for academic success. Like ACE, LEAP is also a yearlong course which
encourages students to consider a career in education. However, other careers are observed
as well. The course provides students with the skills necessary to be successful in high
school and college and prepares them for high academic achievement. Preparation also
involves activities for advancing leadership skills, team building skills, and service learning.
Instructors are selected by the principal.
(3) Collegiate Grant Program. The Collegiate Grant Program supports the overall objectives of the
MTRC by providing a link between institutions of higher education, MTRC pre-collegiate
programs and K-12 districts in the interest of promoting, recruiting and retaining teachers. Grants
provided to the colleges of education within these various institutions, enable pre-collegiate and
collegiate students to gain a better understanding of careers in education and allows them to

Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
AGENDA ITEM #10-c:
Policy.
SUBJECT:
Approval of revisions to three policies – “Institutional Admission and Retention,”
“Assessment,” and “Remediation and Removal of High School Curricular Deficiencies.”
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve revisions to the “Institutional
Admission and Retention,” “Assessment”, and “Remediation and Removal of High
School Curricular Deficiencies” posted at the June meeting.
BACKGROUND:
At the June 29, 2006 State Regents’ meeting, along with approval of revisions to the Policies and
Procedures manual, additional revisions to three academic policies were posted for action in September.
These revisions include the following three policies: the “Institutional Admission and Retention,”
“Assessment,” and “Remediation and Removal and High School Curricular Deficiencies.”
POLICY ISSUES:
The authority for enacting and ensuring compliance with these policies is derived from the Oklahoma
Constitution, Article XIII-A, Section 2 and 70 O.S. 1981, Section 3206, especially subsection (3)(m),
which confers upon the State Regents all powers necessary or convenient to accomplish their
constitutional purposes and objectives.
The policies were posted instead of approved in June due to changes recommended and approved by the
Presidents Council and the Council on Instruction.
ANALYSIS:
The policy revisions for these three policies clarify that both high school curricular deficiencies and
academic skills deficiencies must be remediated within a student’s first 24 credit hours. Also, instead of
requiring a policy exception, the policy allows students to take courses beyond the 24 hours as long as
they are enrolled continuously in remedial courses. The titles to these policies were also altered
consistent with the comprehensive update of State Regents’ policies approved in June 2006. Changes to
the policies are attached for your review. Since posting the policy revisions in June, a minor editorial
change was made to clarify the definition of remediation as follows (in italics): “Remediation: Process
for removing curricular or basic academic skills deficiencies through remedial/developmental course
work or supplemental instruction (tutorials, work-book, self-paced learning, etc.) or other interventions
that lead to demonstration of competency.” Staff recommends approval of the three policies as posted in
June.

assessments required for a student to enroll in college-level courses in the subject area.
Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA): The average of a student’s earned grades calculated by point
values assigned to letter grades that includes grades for all course work, including activity courses and
forgiven course work. This GPA may be used for financial aid or eligibility purposes, admission to
graduate or professional programs, or to determine eligibility for graduation honors.
Curricular Deficiencies: High school curricular requirements required for college admission that have not
been met by the student in high school.
Curricular Requirements: The 15 units of high school course work required for college admission to
public colleges and universities in the State System. These include four units of English, three units of
mathematics, two units of laboratory science, three units of history and citizenship skills, and three units
of elective courses that fit into one of the categories above or foreign language or computer science.
Elective Courses: Those courses that fulfill the additional three high school units to meet the total of 15
required by the State Regents for college admission.

raise students’ competency in the subject area to the collegiate level.
Remediation: Process for removing curricular or basic academic skills deficiencies through
remedial/developmental course work or supplemental instruction (tutorials, work-book, self-paced
learning, etc.) or other interventions that lead to demonstration of competency.
Retention/Graduation Grade Point Average (GPA): The average of a student’s earned grades calculated
by point values assigned to letter grades that is used to determine a student’s eligibility to remain enrolled
or graduate from an institution. Activity courses and forgiven course work are not calculated in the
retention/graduation GPA. (See the State Regents’ Grading Policy.) This GPA may be used for financial
aid or eligibility purposes, admission to graduate or professional programs, or to determine eligibility for
graduation honors.
Transcript: Official document issued by an institution with student information that is a complete and
accurate reflection of a student’s academic career. Includes information such as cumulative and
retention/graduation GPAs, semesters of attendance, courses taken, grades and credit hours awarded,

3.10.3 Admission of First-Time Freshmen: Curricular Requirements
Students must meet the criteria for both the high school curricular requirements and the high school
performance requirementscriteria as defined in the following sections. Students meeting both the high
school curricular and the high school performance requirementscriteria are eligible for admission. This
section includes curricular requirements for regular admission.
A.
High School Curricular Requirements for Admission to Programs Leading to AA, AS and
Baccalaureate Degrees
Units
(Years)
Course Areas
4
English (grammar, composition, literature; should include an integrated
writing component)
2
Lab Science (Biology, chemistry, physics or any lab science certified by the
school district; General science with or without a lab may not be used to
meet this requirement.) Effective fall 2010, three lab science courses will be
required for college admission.
Mathematics (from algebra I, algebra II, geometry, trigonometry, math
analysis, calculus, Advanced Placement statistics)

Additional units of subjects previously listed or selected from computer
science, foreign language, or any Advanced Placement course except applied
courses in fine arts. Effective fall 2010, the number of additional units will
be reduced to two.
15
Total Required Units
Computer science courses (one or more units) that meet the State Regents' guidelines for high school
curricular requirements may satisfy the postsecondary systemwide computer proficiency graduation
requirement (see the State Regents’ Undergraduate Degree Requirements Policy).
In addition to the above requirements, the following subjects are recommended for college
preparation:
2

additional units: Fine arts - music, art, drama, and speech
additional unit: Lab science (as described above)
additional unit: Mathematics (as described above)
4
Recommended Units
62
While these curricular requirements will normally be met by students in grades 9 through 12,
advanced students who complete these courses in earlier grades will not be required to take additional
courses for purposes of admission.
The remaining units required by the State Board of Education for high school graduation may be
selected from courses to meet students' individual needs and interests.
B. Curricular Deficiencies
Students pursuing admission to AA, AS, AAS, or baccalaureate degree programs may not count
remedial/developmental courses toward satisfaction of degree program requirements.
1. Baccalaureate Programs
Students must meet all basic academic skills curricular requirements (English, mathematics, and
science) to be admitted to baccalaureate programs at research or regional institutions. Students
with a deficiency in a non-basic academic skills course (excludes English, mathematics, and
science) who present an ACT reading subject score at or above the specified level or who score at
the designated level on any approved secondary institutional reading assessment instrument may
be admitted as a regular admission student. These students will be required to complete an
additional three-hour collegiate course in the relative subject area to make up the high school
deficiency (see the State Regents’ Remediation and Removal of High School Curricular
Deficiencies Policy). Other exceptions are noted in the special admission options outlined later in
this policy.
If an institution admits students with one or more curricular deficiencies to a baccalaureate
program utilizing in the alternative admission category, the institution must provide the means to
satisfy those deficiencies (see the State Regents’ Remediation and Removal of High School
Curricular Deficiencies Policy) and the student must successfully remediate basic academic skills
course requirements within 24 college-level hours attempted. Students continuously enrolled in
courses designed to remove deficiencies may be allowed to continue enrollment beyond the 24
hour limit. or have all subsequent enrollments restricted to deficiency removal courses until all
deficiencies are removed.
2. Associate in Arts and Associate in Science Programs
Students lacking curricular requirements are admissible into AA or AS programs in the
community colleges but must remediate curricular deficiencies in the basic academic skills
deficiencies at the earliest possible time but within the first 24 college-level hours attempted.
Students continuously enrolled in courses designed to remove deficiencies may be allowed to
continue enrollment beyond the 24 hour limit. or have all subsequent enrollments restricted to
deficiency removal courses until all deficiencies are removed. In addition, students must remove
curricular deficiencies in a discipline area before taking collegiate level work in that discipline.
3. Associate in Applied Science Programs
Students entering AAS degree programs or other certificate programs must remove high school
curricular requirement deficiencies before taking courses in the same field as part of an AAS
degree or certificate program. Students admitted under this provision may not transfer into an
AA, AS or baccalaureate program without first removingcompleting the high school curricular
deficiencies.
63
Students may remove curricular deficiencies as detailed in the State Regents’ Remediation and
Removal of High School Curricular Deficiencies Policy. The institution’s president or the president’s
designee may allow a deserving student who failed to remediate a basic academic skills deficiency in
a single subject to continue to enroll in collegiate level courses in addition to remedial course work
beyond the 24-hour limit providing the student has demonstrated success in collegiate courses to date.
Such exceptions must be appropriately documented.
Students pursuing admission to AA, AS, AAS, or baccalaureate degree programs may not count
remedial/developmental courses toward satisfaction of degree program requirements.
CB. Applied Courses
The use of applied courses to meet the high school curricular requirements is to be considered an
alternative. College bound students are encouraged to take courses currently specified in the State
Regents' Institutional Admission and Retention Policy. The State Regents are interested in
experimenting with alternative delivery systems that might facilitate student interest and success. It
must be noted that the State Regents request and expect high school transcripts to be valid and
reflective of the actual courses taken by students; anything less threatens the integrity of the academic
process.
One year of Principles of Technology may substitute for one of the currently required lab science
courses providing that students taking the course also successfully complete a lab science course
listed in the State Regents’ Institutional Admission and Retention Policy. Additionally, the Principles
of Technology course must be taught by a teacher certified or endorsed in physics who has completed
the specialized training to instruct the course.
64
3.10.4 Admission of First-Time Freshmen: Performance Requirements
Students must meet the criteria for both the high school curricular requirements and the high school
performance requirementscriteria as defined in the following sections. Students meeting both the high
school curricular and the high school performance requirementscriteria are eligible for admission. This
section includes performance requirements for regular admission which includes three options for
admission: standardized tests, GPA in all courses plus class rank, or GPA in the State Regents’ 15-units
of required high school core courses.
The ACT score used for admission purposes is the composite score without the writing component. The
SAT score used for admission purposes is the combined critical reading and math scores without the
writing component. Students utilizing a test other than ACT will have their scores converted to ACT
equivalents. The high school class rank is one more than the number of students in the high school
graduating class who have a grade-point average greater than the student in question.
A GED recipient’s high school class must have graduated to be eligible for admission. The president or
the president’s designee may allow exceptions on an individual student basis. Any exceptions, including
subsequent student academic performance, will be reported to the State Regents upon request. The
University of Oklahoma (OU) is authorized by the State Regents to also require a minimum average
standard GED score for automatic admission.
The GPA used for admission purposes in option 2 is the unweighted average of all grades (“A” equating
to 4.00 and “D” equating to 1.00) taken in the 9th through 12 grades. The GPA used for admission
purposes in option 3 shall add a standard weighting (1.0) to The College Board’s Advanced Placement
courses and the International Baccalaureate Organization’s higher-level courses (an “F” remains zero).
While the State Regents strongly support the initiation of honors courses, honors weighting will not be
used in the calculation of either GPA because there is no equitable mechanism to include the honors
premium.
The exact standardized test scores and GPA will vary over time, and may differ at each institution. The
GPA will be defined annually to correspond to the rank in class. The ACT score equivalent to these
percentages will be determined based on the average of the preceding three years' ACT scores of
graduating seniors if available. Oklahoma test data will be used. The concordance table used to set the
equivalent SAT score is updated regularly.
First-time entering students must also meet entry-level assessment requirements before enrolling in
college-level courses. See the State Regents’ Assessment Policy for more information.
65
3.10.6 Special Admission
I.
Concurrent Enrollment of High School Students
High school students wishing to enroll concurrently in college courses must meet the admission
standards detailed below and the ACT assessment requirements in the State Regents’ Assessment
Policy. The ACT standard is based on Oklahoma norms and the SAT standard is based on national
norms. All other students not qualified by grade level as specified in this section might be considered
for full enrollment or concurrent enrollment under the Opportunity Admission Category.
1. Workload
A high school student admitted under the provision set forth below may enroll in a combined
number of high school and college courses per semester not to exceed a full-time college
workload of 19 semester-credit-hours. A student may enroll in a maximum of nine semestercredit-hours during a summer session or term at a college or university of the State System
without the necessity of being concurrently enrolled in high school classes during the summer
term. For purposes of calculating workload, one-half high school unit shall be equivalent to three
semester-credit-hours of college work. Students wishing to exceed these limits may petition the
selected higher education institution. The appropriate institutional officials will evaluate the
student's academic performance and potential for success in determining the student's load, which
may not exceed the number of semester-credit-hours 50 percent greater than the number of weeks
in the applicable semester/term. The college should provide appropriate academic advising prior
to and continuing throughout the student's enrollment.
2. Curricular Requirements
The completion of the high school curricular requirements set forth in section 3.10.3 of this
policy shall not be required of concurrently enrolled high school students for purposes of
admission. However, students may only enroll in curricular areas where they have met the ACT
assessment requirements for college placement as stated in the (see the State Regents’ Assessment
Policy). A high school student not meeting the designated score in science reasoning,
mathematics, and English will not be permitted enrollment in the corresponding college subject
area. A student scoring below the established ACT score in reading will not be permitted
enrollment in any other collegiate course (outside the subjects of science, mathematics, and
English). Secondary institutional assessments and remediation are not allowed for concurrent
high school students. Concurrently admitted high school students will not be allowed to enroll in
any remedial/developmentalzero-level courses offered by colleges and universities designed to
remove high school curricular or basic academic skills deficiencies.
66
Assessment Policy
3.20.1 Purpose
Accountability to the citizens of Oklahoma within a tax-supported educational system is very
important. Improvement in student learning, measurable through assessment programs, is an
achievable outcome, and the responsibility of the State System.
3.20.2 Definitions
For the purposes of this policy, the following definitions apply:
Assessment of Student Satisfaction: Measures of perceptions of student and alumni satisfaction with
campus programs and services.
and reading.
minimum ACT subject scores (English, math, science reasoning, or reading) or institutional
secondary assessments required for a student to enroll in college-level courses in the subject area.
Curricular Deficiencies: High school curricular requirements required for college admission that have
not been met by the student in high school.
public colleges and universities in the State System. These include four units of English, three units
of mathematics, two units of laboratory science, three units of history and citizenship skills, and three
units of elective courses that fit into one of the categories above or foreign language or computer
science.
Elective Courses: Those courses that fulfill the additional three high school units to meet the total of
15 required by the State Regents for college admission.
institutional facilities and counselors in making decisions that give students the best possible chance
of success in attaining academic goals.
General Education Assessment: Measures of competencies gained through the student’s general
education program.
Graduate Student Assessment: Measures of student learning and evaluations of student satisfaction
with instruction and services beyond the standard assessment requirements for admission to and
graduation from a graduate program.
Program Outcomes Assessment (or major field of study assessment): Measures of how well students
are meeting institutionally stated program goals and objectives.
67
Remedial/Developmental Courses: Zero-level courses that do not carry college credit and are
designed to raise students’ knowledge competency in the subject area to the collegiate level.
Student Assessment: A multi-dimensional evaluative process that measures the overall educational
impact of the college/university experience on students and provides information for making program
improvements.
3.20.3 Institutional Requirements
Each college and university shall assess individual student performance in achieving its programmatic
objectives. Specifically, each institution will develop criteria, subject to State Regents' approval, for
the evaluation of students at college entry to determine academic preparation and course placement;
general education assessment to determine basic skill competencies; program outcomes assessment to
evaluate the outcomes in the student's major; and student perception of program quality including
satisfaction with support services, academic curriculum, and the faculty. Such evaluation criteria must
be tied to stated program outcomes and learner competencies. Data at each level of assessment will be
reported to the State Regents annually and will include detailed information designed to ensure
accountability throughout the system. Detailed information on assessment reporting is available in
the Academic Affairs Procedures Handbook available upon request.
In recognition of varying institutional missions and clientele served, assessment components will be
campus based under the leadership of the local faculty and administrators providing the procedures
meet the requirements detailed in the following sections. Assessment programs should consider the
needs of special populations in the development of policies and procedures. Finally, as institutions
develop criteria and select assessment mechanisms, each program component should be coordinated
and complement the whole.
3.20.4 Entry Level Assessment and Placement
A. Minimum Basic Academic Skills Requirements
Each institution will use established ACT scores at or above the State Regents’ established
minimum in the four subject areas of science reasoning, mathematics, reading, and English as the
initial determinant for individual student readiness for college level course work. These
minimum ACT subscores provide a standard for measuring student readiness across the State
System and The minimum established scores are evaluated by the State Regents on an annual
basis.
Students scoring below the minimum level, will be required to remediate in the discipline area or,
consistent with institution's approved assessment plan, undergo additional testing to determine the
level of readiness for college level work consistent with the institution’s approved assessment
plan, or successfully complete remedial/developmental course work in the subject area. Students
must remediate basic academic skills deficiencies at the earliest possible time but within the first
24 college-level hours attempted. Students continuously enrolled in courses designed to remove
deficiencies may be allowed to continue enrollment beyond the 24 hour limit. More information
concerning removing curricular deficiencies may be found in the State Regents’ Remediation and
Removal of High School Curricular Deficiencies Policy. Similarly, institutions may, within their
68
approved assessment plans, establish higher standards by requiring additional testing of those
students meeting or exceeding the minimum ACT subject test score requirement.
These minimum subject test score requirements will be communicated regularly to college bound
students, parents, and common schools for the purpose of informing them of the levels of
proficiency in the basic academic skills areas needed to be adequately prepared for college level
work. ACT subscores provide a standard for measuring student readiness across the State System.
Students admitted under the special adult admission provision may be exempt from entry-level
assessment requirements consistent with the institution’s approved assessment plan.
B. Concurrently Enrolled High School Students
For high school students wishing to enroll concurrently in college courses, the established ACT
score in the four subject areas will apply as follows: A high school student not meeting the
designated score in science reasoning, mathematics, and English will not be permitted enrollment
in the corresponding college subject area. A student scoring below the established ACT score in
reading will not be permitted enrollment in any other collegiate course (outside the subjects of
science, mathematics, and English). Secondary institutional assessments and remediation are not
allowed for concurrent high school students.
Students admitted under the special adult admission provision may be exempt from this requirement.
C. Institutional Programs
Institutional entry level assessment programs should include an evaluation of past academic
performance, educational readiness (such as mental, physical, and emotional), educational goals,
study skills, values, self-concept and motivation. Student assessment results will be utilized in the
placement and advisement process to ensure that students enroll in courses appropriate for their
skill levels. Tracking systems should be implemented to ensure that information from assessment
and completion of course work is used to evaluate and strengthen programs in order to further
enhance student achievement and development. The data collection activities should be clearly
linked to instructional improvement efforts.

3.21 Remediation and Removal of High School Curricular Deficiencies
3.21.1 Purpose
This policy specifies how students who lack the 15 required high school curricular units for college
admission or competency in the basic academic skills core areas of English, mathematics, science, and
reading for college admission may satisfy them the deficiencies within the State System.
3.21.2 Definitions
For the purposes of this policy, the following definitions will apply:
and reading.
minimum ACT subject scores (English, math, science reasoning, or reading) or institutional secondary
assessments required for a student to enroll in college-level courses in the subject area.
Curricular Deficiencies: High school curricular requirements required for college admission that have not
been met by the student in high school.
public colleges and universities in the State System. These include four units of English, three units of
mathematics, two units of laboratory science, three units of history and citizenship skills, and three units
of elective courses that fit into one of the categories above or foreign language or computer science.
Elective Courses: Those courses that fulfill the additional three high school units to meet the total of 15
required by the State Regents for college admission.
institutional facilities and counselors in making decisions that give students the best possible chance of
success in attaining academic goals.
Remedial/Developmental Courses: Zero-level courses that do not carry college credit and are designed to
raise students’ knowledge competency in the subject area to the collegiate level.
3.21.3 Principles
A. High School Curricular Requirements
The State Regents' Institutional Admission and Retention Policy lists 15 units of high school
curricular requirements for admission to programs leading to associate in arts, associate in science,
and baccalaureate degrees. As defined in the policy, students must meet all high school basic
academic curricular requirements to be admitted to the research or regional institutions. The only
exceptions are noted in the special admissions and summer provisional admission options. The policy
70
requires institutions admitting students with one or more curricular deficiencies in the special
admission categories to provide the means to satisfy those deficiencies. and to remediate these
deficiencies within the first 24 college-level credit hours attempted.
The high school curricular admission requirements were adopted by the State Regents to help ensure
adequate high school academic preparation. It is the expectation of the State Regents that students
applying for college entry will have successfully completed, at a minimum, the required high school
course work. Research indicates that the academic preparation a student receives in high school
correlates with success in college. Specifically, students who take more high school core subjects
generally score higher on the ACT and earn better grades in college than students who take a
minimum number of core courses. High school students should consider the prescribed 15 unit high
school core curriculum a minimum standard. Students are encouraged to take additional core courses.
Some students will lack these requirements upon entering Oklahoma colleges and universities; others
will have taken the required courses but will remain unskilled in the disciplines.
B. Basic Academic Skills Requirements
The State Regents’ Assessment Policy requires that each college and university assess individual
students at college entry to determine academic preparation and course placement. Each institution
uses established ACT scores at or above the State Regents’ established minimum in the four subject
areas of science reasoning, mathematics, reading, and English as the initial determinant for individual
student readiness for college level course work. These minimum ACT subscores provide a standard
for measuring student readiness across the State System and are evaluated by the State Regents on an
annual basis. Students scoring below the minimum level are required to undergo additional testing to
determine the level of readiness for college level work consistent with the institution’s approved
assessment plan, or successfully remediate in the subject area.
C. The following principles are the foundation for this policy:
1A. Certain disciplines, most notably mathematics, English, and science, build on requisite
knowledge. College courses in such disciplines assume a student knowledge base gained in high
school or other previous academic experiences. It is therefore imperative that students not enter
collegiate courses in these fields lacking that knowledge.
2B. Students should not enroll in collegiate courses in history or other elective courses without a
necessary foundation in reading and writing.
3C. Students who can demonstrate competency in an academic field even though they did not take the
required course(s) in high school will have the curricular deficiency waived for purposes of
remediation. Such students will be allowed to enter the respective discipline's collegiate courses.
4D. Within the State System, the community college tier is officially designated as responsible for the
remedial/developmental education function. While institutions in other tiers, with the exception
of regional universities with assigned community college functions, do not have this
remedial/development responsibility, such schools may offer remedial/developmental courses if
fully supported through student fees.
3.21.4 Student Demonstration of Curricular Competencies
A. Systemwide Procedures
71
Student competency may be demonstrated and deficiencies removed in the nine required units of
basic academic skills courses—science, English, and mathematics—through the use of system ACT
subscores in the three subject areas of science reasoning, English, and mathematics respectively.
Institutions may, within their approved assessment plans, establish higher standards by requiring
additional testing of those students meeting or exceeding the minimum ACT subject test score
requirement. The system ACT subject scores are set by the State Regents and communicated
annually. Students who are successful in demonstrating curricular competencyies in all deficiency
areas and who meet the required institutional performance criteria may be regularly admitted and will
not count against the Alternative Admission Category's enrollment limit (see the State Regents’
Institutional Admission and Retention Policy).
B. Institutional Procedures
Student competencies may be demonstrated and deficiencies removed by an entry-level,
institutionally developed or adopted assessment procedure in the appropriate discipline area
consistent with the institution's approved assessment plan. Such an assessment procedure/instrument
must be uniformly applied, have demonstrated content validity, and be a reliable measure of student
competence. Students are required to score at a level which equates to the systemwide ACT score
requirement for the basic skills subjects.
Institutional procedures for demonstration of student competencies and for removing curricular
deficiencies do not apply to concurrently enrolled high school students. (see the State Regents’
Assessment Policy). Concurrently enrolled high school students may only enroll in curricular areas
where they have met the ACT assessment requirements for college placement as stated in the State
Regents’ Assessment Policy. A high school student not meeting the designated ACT score in science
reasoning, mathematics, and English will not be permitted enrollment in the corresponding college
subject area. A student scoring below the established ACT score in reading will not be permitted
enrollment in any other collegiate course (outside the subjects of science, mathematics, and English).
Secondary institutional assessments and remediation are not allowed for concurrent high school
students. Additionally, concurrently admitted high school students will not be allowed to enroll in
any remedial/developmental courses offered by colleges and universities designed to remove high
school curricular or skills deficiencies.
C. Student Remediation of Curricular Deficiencies in Basic Academic Skills Courses
Students with curricular deficiencies in mathematics, English, reading, and science who fail to
demonstrate adequate curricular competence through a minimum ACT subject score or institutional
secondary assessment will be required to enroll in remedial/developmental courses or participate in
remedial activities designed to remedy the deficiency. Students must receive a grade equivalent to a
"C" or better to remove the deficiency.
D. Student Procedures for Removal of Curricular Deficiencies in History, Citizenship Skills, and/or
Elective (Additional) Courses
Students with a curricular deficiency in history or citizenship skills who present an ACT reading
subscore at or above the specified level or who score at the designated level on any approved
secondary institutional reading assessment instrument may be admitted as regular admission students.
These students will be required to complete an additional three-hour collegiate history or citizenship
skills course to make up the high school deficiency. Students with an elective deficiency may also be
admitted as regular admission students as specified in the State Regents’ Institutional Admission and
72
Retention Policy, but will be required to take an additional three-hour collegiate course in an elective
subject area(s).
E. Reading Competency
To successfully complete college courses, students must be able to read at a minimum level. While
high school reading courses are not specifically required, student reading competency is expected and
assessed. (See the State Regents’ Assessment Policy for assessment requirements in the area of
reading.)
F. Limits
Students with basic academic skills deficiencies or lacking curricular requirements are admissible into
AS or AA programs but must remove the basic academic skills deficiencies at the earliest possible
time but within the first 24 college-level hours attempted. Students continuously enrolled in courses
designed to remove deficiencies may be allowed to continue enrollment beyond the 24 hour limit. or
have all subsequent enrollments restricted to deficiency removal courses until the deficiencies are
removed. Students must also remove curricular deficiencies in a discipline area before taking
collegiate level work in that discipline. Students admitted to AAS programs must remove
deficiencies prior to taking collegiate level work in that discipline.
All sStudents must successfully remediate basic academic skills course requirements within the first
24 hours attempted or have all subsequent enrollments restricted to deficiency removal courses until
the deficiencies are removed. The president or the president’s designee may allow a deserving
student who failed to remediate a basic academic skills deficiency in a single subject to continue to
enroll in collegiate level courses in addition to remedial course work beyond the 24-hour limit
providing the student has demonstrated success in collegiate courses to date. Such exceptions must be
appropriately documented.

Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
AGENDA ITEM #11-a:
SUBJECT:
Oklahoma Panhandle State University (OPSU). Acceptance and approval of evaluation
team recommendations.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents accept and approve the evaluation team
recommendation for the technical-occupational programs described below.
BACKGROUND:
Since 1976, the State Regents have required technical-occupational Associate in Applied Science (AAS)
degree and certificate programs to be evaluated on a five-year cycle as authorized by the U.S. Department
of Education. State Regents’ policy requires institutions to submit self-study reports by February 1 of the
year the programs are evaluated. Teams composed of external evaluators review materials and participate
in an on-site visit to evaluate the programs and verify the self-study reports. A team chairman is selected
to prepare the team report. Institutions have an opportunity to review the team report and make factual
corrections before the report is finalized.
The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education offers 263 AAS degree programs at 18 institutions (two
technical branches, three urban and nine rural community colleges, and four baccalaureate degreegranting institutions functioned to offer technical-occupational programs). These degree programs enroll
over 21,000 students and graduate approximately 2,700 students each year.
POLICY ISSUES:
This action is consistent with the State Regents’ “Technical-Occupational Program Evaluation” policy.
As required by this policy, an external team of qualified consultants evaluates technical-occupational
programs and makes one of three recommendations for each program: 1) unqualified continuation - five
years; 2) qualified continuation - one to four years; or 3) discontinuation. In the event of adverse action,
the president of the institution may request an appeal of the action. The State Regents subsequently
would schedule a hearing and a final determination would be made based upon the evaluation report and
the evidence presented by the institution at the appeal hearing. If an institutional appeal is denied, the
institution may submit a request for a new evaluation one year after the appeal is denied.

OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE STATE UNIVERSITY
The evaluation team made recommendations for two degree programs as summarized below:
√ As in past evaluations, the Farm and Ranch Management program (025) does not meet the minimum
standards for unqualified continuation as required by the State Regents. The team recommends
qualified continuation of the program for two years. If the objectives are met in a two-year period,
the program may continue for another three years. However, if the objectives are not met, the
program shall be discontinued. Objectives:
1. Provide evidence that a good-faith recruitment effort has taken place with 12 students enrolled in
the program by fall 2008.
2. Provide evidence that the advisory committee is meeting regularly and has impacted the program.
Such evidence should include assessment procedures, employer evaluations, curriculum
development, etc. to be developed by fall 2008.
3. Provide evidence that a good faith effort has been made in terms of preparing the enrollees in the
program for immediate employment after graduation by fall 2008.
√
As in past evaluations, the Technology program (050) does not meet the minimum standards for
unqualified continuation as required by the State Regents. The team recommends qualified
continuation of the program for two years. If the objectives are met in a two-year period, the
program may continue for another three years. However, if the objectives are not met, the program
shall be discontinued.

There is a sense of pride and commitment to students in both programs, and a strong concern to
continue to provide the AAS degree;
This focus on students and their learning is commended as the faculty involved in the program
reviews conveyed energy, professionalism, and a desire to make the programs viable for the
institution in its planning process for the future; and
The university was receptive and willing to accommodate requests for additional information
during this visit. During the visit, the team heard rationale from the administration and faculty to
continue these two programs.
It is recommended that the evaluation team’s recommendations as noted above be approved.

AGENDA ITEM #11-b:
SUBJECT:
Connors State College (CSC), Eastern Oklahoma State College (EOSC), and Rose State
College (RSC). Approval of requests regarding degree programs recommended for
qualified continuation from technical-occupational program evaluations.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents accept the recommendations regarding
technical-occupational programs and certificates as described below.
BACKGROUND:
Since 1976, the State Regents have required technical-occupational Associate in Applied Science (AAS)
degree programs and certificates to be evaluated on a five-year cycle as authorized by the U.S.
Department of Education. The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education offers 263 AAS degree
programs at 18 institutions (two technical branches, three urban and nine rural community colleges, and
four baccalaureate degree-granting institutions functioned to offer technical-occupational programs).
These degree programs enroll about 21,000 students and graduate approximately 2,700 students each
year.
The State Regents’ “Policy Statement of Criteria and Procedures for Evaluating Technical-Occupational
Degree and Certificate Programs” (now titled, “Technical-Occupational Program Evaluation”) requires
institutions to submit self-study reports by February 1 of the year the programs are evaluated. Teams
composed of external evaluators review materials and participate in an on-site visit to evaluate the
programs and verify the self-study reports. A team chairman is selected to prepare the team report. As
required by the “Technical-Occupational Program Policy,” the external team submits one of three
recommendations for each program: 1) unqualified continuation - five years; 2) qualified continuation one to four years; or 3) discontinuation. Institutions have an opportunity to review the team report and
make factual corrections before the report is finalized.
In 2002 and 2003, selected technical-occupational AAS degree and certificate programs offered by CSC,
EOSC, and Rose were granted qualified continuation through 2006.
POLICY ISSUES:
This action is consistent with the State Regents’ policy on “Technical-Occupational Program
Evaluation.”
79
ANALYSIS:
CSC
At the June 27, 2002 meeting, the State Regents recommended the following programs for qualified
continuation (four years) with the stipulation that continuation of these programs would depend upon
addressing the stated issues.
•
•
Associate in Applied Science in Child Development Associate (063). Recommended for qualified
continuation (four years) due to low productivity and/or a lack of articulation to baccalaureate
programs.
Associate in Applied Science in Agriculture Equine Technology (066). Recommended for
qualified continuation (four years) due to low productivity and/or a lack of articulation to
baccalaureate programs.
CSC reports that it modified the AAS in Child Development (063) program curricular requirements,
courses, instructional delivery, and assessment of student learning since the 2002 review. Productivity
has improved in graduates (four graduates in the fall 2005 semester, over the zero graduates in previous
year). Enrollment continues to decrease as more students enroll in the Associate in Arts (AA) in Child
Care program, which is a part of the Scholars in Excellence in Childcare program offered through the
State Regents and the Department of Human Services. A role still exists for the program until all students
move to the AA program.
CSC reports the AAS in Agriculture Equine Technology (066) has not accurately reported graduates and
has met the State Regents’ minimum of 5 graduates per year. The program provides students with handson training with horses from breeders in a five-state area. CSC has continued to focus on recruitment and
graduation of students in this program.
Continuation of the AAS in Child Development (063) and the AAS in Agriculture Equine Technology
(066) programs until CSC’s next technical-occupational evaluation, which is scheduled for spring 2007, is
recommended.
EOSC
At the June 27, 2002 meeting, the State Regents recommended the following technical-occupational
programs for qualified continuation (four years) with the stipulation that continuation of these programs
would depend upon addressing the stated issues.
•
Associate in Applied Science in Forest Technology (020).
continuation (four years) due to low productivity.
Recommended for qualified
EOSC reports that the program has had strong, consistent productivity, although below State Regents’
policy minimum requirements. The program is unique to Oklahoma, and one of only 21 such programs
recognized nationally as meeting the standards of the Society of American Foresters. The program
continues to meet a demand in EOSC’s service area. Continuation of the Associate in Applied Science in
Forest Technology (020) program until EOSC’s next technical-occupational evaluation, which is
scheduled for spring 2007, is recommended.
80
RSC
At the June 30, 2003 meeting, the State Regents recommended the following technical-occupational
programs for qualified continuation (three years) with the stipulation that continuation of these programs
would depend upon addressing the stated issues.
•
•
•
Associate in Applied Science in Library Technology Assistant (055).
Certificate in Library Technology Assistant (102).
Associate in Applied Science in Broadcast Communications (070).
These programs were recommended for qualified continuation (three years) due to low enrollment and
graduation, the need for greater advisory committee involvement and focus on employer needs, the need
for faculty to complete professional certifications, and documentation of program success for two
relatively new programs.
RSC reports that the degree and certificate in Library Technology Assistant (055 & 102) are unique
programs in the State System and help provide adequate training for school librarians across the state.
Courses within the programs had increased enrollments in 2004, 2005, and 2006. The program also
achieved five graduates in the 2005-06 academic year. RSC is also looking at ways to continue to market
the program, and make direct linkages with the Master of Library and Information Science program
offered by the University of Oklahoma. RSC is also considering online delivery of courses which could
increase completions. RSC considers the program and certificate important in providing services to
public and private libraries across the state.
RSC reports that the AAS in Broadcast Communications (070) had many students enrolling with the
intent to transfer to a baccalaureate program without completing the AAS degree. In response, RSC
developed a short-term certificate program to meet the focused needs of students and employers who do
not seek a full degree. In addition, faculty are marketing and recruiting for the program with high school
journalism programs in the area. Faculty are also considering a restructure of the program to blend
broadcast and journalism courses, technologies and faculty resources into a transferable associate in arts
degree with print journalism and broadcast journalism options. RSC indicates the program is important to
business and industry that need more trained broadcast students.
Continuation of these programs until RSC is next technical-occupational evaluation, which is scheduled
for spring 2008, is recommended.

Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
AGENDA ITEM #12:
Accreditation.
SUBJECT:
Intensive English Program.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents accredit the Edmond Language Institute –
Tahlequah (ELI-T) for two years.
BACKGROUND:
Approving English language centers has been part of the State Regents’ “Policy Statement on Admission
of Students for Whom English is a Second Language” (policy now titled, “Intensive English Program
Approval and Review”) since 1980. Beginning with the 1995 review, out-of-state evaluators with
expertise in directing English as a Second Language (ESL) programs have been hired to conduct the
reviews.
In fall 1996, an English Language Institute committee was convened to work with State Regents’ staff to
revise the policy to include standards for the centers and an approval process. This committee consisted
of representatives from proprietary and institutionally-based English language centers. The State Regents
approved this policy in April 1997.
The approval process includes a self-study report and an external evaluation team visit. The evaluation
team prepares a report of findings on each standard and recommends one of the following: (1) approval
without qualification with reexamination in five years; (2) provisional approval with reexamination in
one, two, three, or four years; or (3) deny approval. The evaluators compare the self-study to the
standards outlined in the policy and verify the information in the self-study with observations from the
on-site visit, providing a written report with recommendations. The center’s staff has the opportunity to
provide a written response to the evaluators’ report.
POLICY ISSUES:
Consistent with State Regents’ “Institutional Admission and Retention,” policy, students for whom
English is a second language must demonstrate English proficiency following standards described in this
policy. Students without the minimal Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score (500 for
undergraduate and 550 for graduate students) who have earned a TOEFL score of at least 460 for
undergraduate or 500 for graduate students, or students without the minimal International English
Language Testing System (IELTS) score (6.0 for undergraduate and 6.5 for graduate students) who have
earned an IELTS score of at least 5.0 for undergraduate or 5.5 for graduate students, must complete an
intensive English program approved by the State Regents prior to admission.
Intensive English programs (IEP) are evaluated on criteria for the language program, administration,
faculty, student services, finances, and physical facilities, following the standards described in the State
83
Regents’ policy on “Intensive English Program Approval and Review.” Embedded in these broad
categories are standards for the curriculum, recruitment, assessment and contact hours of the program,
standards for the faculty and administrators of the program, and standards for advising and orientation
services offered to students in the program.
ANALYSIS:
As required by policy, a team of out-of-state evaluators reviewed the ELI-T on the campus of
Northeastern State University on April 25-26, 2006. The ELI-T has operated as a branch of the Edmond
Language Institute on the University of Central Oklahoma campus and is now requesting an independent
review. A summary of the two-person evaluation team’s credentials is provided, and an outline of the
recommendation for the IEP follows.

April 25-26, 2006
Date of Visit:
Provisional approval with reexamination in two years.
Evaluators’
Recommendation:
The ELI-Tahlequah meets the State Regents' policy standards for IEPS. The
Summary of
Evaluators’ Report: evaluation team recommends provisional approval with re-examination in two
years with the four stipulations below:
1) All faculty members have to meet the state standards of holding an
MTESL degree and/or training appropriate to their course assignments.
The ELI-Tahlequah needs to implement a substantive and ongoing
professional development program for faculty who do not hold an
MTESL or closely related degree such as in Education (concentration in
TESL) or Linguistics.
2) The ELI-T needs to update its curriculum to meet the state standard
requiring the use of current methods, materials, and technologies. The
curriculum does not adequately address aural/oral proficiency and must
include a more substantive speaking/communicative component. The
current curriculum seems to be entirely text driven and lacks
supplemental teaching materials and creative instructional methodology.
3) The ELI-T needs to redesign the comprehensive final exam given at the
end of each instructional cycle to test the content presented in that cycle.
The current test is not adequately tied to the curriculum.
4) The ELI-T must provide work/office space for full and part-time faculty.
This space should include lockable drawers and/or cabinets and provide
a location for supplemental materials.

Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
AGENDA ITEM #13:
Oklahoma State University Technical Branch-Okmulgee.
SUBJECT:
Oklahoma State University Technical Branch-Okmulgee (OSUTB-OKM) learning site.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents designate OSUTB-OKM as a learning site
in the MidAmerica Industrial Park in Pryor, Oklahoma as described below.
BACKGROUND:
The State Regents took action at their October 31, 1997 meeting to establish a proactive and equitable
method of maximizing higher education resources to address unmet higher education needs in
communities around the state. This action resulted in the designation of learning sites which included all
25 state colleges and universities, the Ardmore Higher Education Program and the Ponca City Learning
Site. The designated learning sites did not include the two technical branches – OSUTB-OKM and OSUOklahoma City. Locations designated as a learning site carry the function and responsibility of ensuring
that area higher education needs are met either through programs offered by the responsible institution or
by another institution.
OSUTB-OKM began offering classes in 1998 at the MAIP in response to a request from the park trustees
to make high-level, technical training available for employers located in the park and their incumbent
workforces. In 2004-05 OSUTB-OKM/MAIP reported 162 enrollments in technical training courses that
generated 1,328 credit hours. Employers within the park, community leaders, public school
administration, and local citizens have expressed their desire for degree options to be made available from
OSUTB-OKM. OSU-OKM is serving MAIP students through off-campus courses and through electronic
media. OSUTB-OKM is seeking approval of the MAIP site from the Higher Learning Commission of the
North Central Association of Colleges and Universities (HLC) to offer Associate in Applied Science
degree programs at the MAIP site in Pryor, Oklahoma.
Rogers State University has a branch campus in Pryor (RSU/Pryor). A Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) has been signed by Presidents Klabenes and Wiley that stipulates the educational
services/responsibilities that will be offered by each institution.
POLICY ISSUES:
This action is consistent with the State Regents’ “Electronically Delivered and Traditional Off-Campus
Courses and Programs” policy which states that technical branches have a statewide responsibility for
offering unique technical or specialized programs when documented need is expressed and when the
institution’s resources permit the meeting of that need. The policy also allows for coordination of
multiple learning sites in the same area. These learning sites are encouraged to develop a mechanism for
working cooperatively to identify and arrange for provision of education services to local residents.
87
Regents’ policy also advocates that, to the extent possible, through the authorized fee structure, direct
instructional costs are recovered for electronic media and traditional off campus offerings. All new
facilities for traditional off-campus offerings shall be provided at no expense to the state. MAIP has
constructed a technical center and executed a 20-year lease for the facility at a cost of 50 cents per year.
The primary purpose of the center is to provide technical training by OSUTB-OKM for employees of
firms located in MAIP.
ANALYSIS:
Designating OSUTB-OKM as a learning site will allow the institution to continue serving MAIP along
with services provided by Rogers State University through the MOU. The purpose of the MOU is to
provide a mechanism for MAIP students enrolled with OSUTB-OKM to attain the necessary general
education courses required to satisfy the OSUTB-OKM college degree requirements. Additionally, the
MOU provides for a cooperative effort that will result in the mutual benefit of students who matriculate to
either institution.
OSUTB-OKM/MAIP responsibilities include:
9
Referring students to RSU/Pryor for general education courses required for its degree program.
9
Providing RSU/Pryor with all degree plans of study that list general education requirements.
9
Providing a schedule of RSU/Pryor general education courses each semester to students enrolled
in the OSUTB-OKM degree programs.
9
Ensuring that students seeking enrollment in RSU/Pryor general education classes have
appropriate admission test scores for placement determinations.
RSU/Pryor responsibilities include:
9
Providing enrollment services to OSUTB-OKM degree seeking students for their general
education requirements.
9
Providing OSUTB-OKM degree seeking students’ access to its library resources related to general
education courses.
9
Ensuring that students enrolled in classes at RSU/Pryor have access to all tutoring services
provided for the respective general education courses.
OSUTB-OKM will provide a system to allow MAIP students access to the following functions
electronically including: course enrollment, grade checks, degree audits, class schedules, student account
summaries, and financial aid information and processing.
OSUTB-OKM will also provide classroom space to RSU/Pryor to conduct general education courses for
students of both institutions. The two facilities are located only five miles apart and this arrangement will
provide the needed convenience for MAIP employees.
The OSU-OKM library director will conduct a training session at the beginning of each semester for
MAIP students to facilitate access and utilization of library resources. The library will provide necessary
periodicals and journals and will replicate what is currently in place for the OSUTB-OKM Engineering
Technologies Division.
Funding. OSUTB-OKM began offering courses at MAIP in 1998, and received a $100,000 Economic
Development Grant to support expanded offerings there in fiscal 2001. Funding was decreased to
$88,956 in fiscal year 2005 due to reductions in the state budget. The request presented to the State
Regents and the subsequent request that will be forwarded to the HLC (if approved by the State Regents)
will note that operational costs for the MAIP learning site will be generated by tuition and fees,
reallocation, and other revenues.
88
Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
AGENDA ITEM #14-a:
SUBJECT:
Allocation of Funds Resident Teacher Professional Development for FY 2007.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve the reimbursement of $1,877,309
as shown on Resolution No. 4581 and authorize the Chancellor to approve revised
budgets for State System institutions to incorporate the reimbursement.
BACKGROUND:
The provisions of House Bill 1549 created the Teacher Preparation Act (OTPA) that provided additional
funding and authorized the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education to upgrade the quality of
teacher preparation in Oklahoma. In 1997, OTPA’s name was changed to TPDRP. The purpose of
TPDRP is to improve the caliber of elementary and secondary school teachers certified to teach in
Oklahoma public schools.
TPDRP provides for a three-member Residency Committee for each first-year teacher licensed by the
State Board of Education. A Residency Committee consists of 1) a mentor teacher; 2) a principal or
assistant principal designated by the local board; and 3) a teacher educator from an Oklahoma college or
university.
POLICY ISSUES:
The recommended action is consistent with the “Teacher Professional Development Residency
Programs” policy.
ANALYSIS:
Residency Committee reimbursement to each institution is based on the workload of the previous year,
reflecting both the number of committees served and miles traveled. Effective January 1, 2006, the
mileage reimbursement rate increased from 40.5 to 44.5 cents per mile traveled; this increase is reflected
in the reimbursement calculations, a 9.9 % increase from the previous year. The 2006-07 allocations
total is $1,257.206 to 12 State System institutions and $119,032 to ten independent institutions. The
combined total of $1,877,309 is the amount allocated by the State Regents from lump-sum appropriations,
a 36.3% increase from the previous year. The allocation summary table and Resolution No. 4581 are
attached.

AGENDA ITEM #14-b:
SUBJECT:
Allocation of Concurrent Enrollment Reimbursement Waivers for Summer 2006.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve allocation to the institutions for
reimbursement of tuition waivers awarded to senior high school students during the
summer 2006 term.
BACKGROUND:
In September 2005, the State Regents adopted a policy as authorized by 70 O.S. 2001§ 628.13, to allow
the reimbursement of tuition waivers awarded to senior high school students up to six credit hours per
semester beginning the fall 2005 term. Concurrent enrollment tuition waivers awarded by the institutions
are not being subject to the 3.5 percent of E&G Budget, Part I limitation.
The institutions reported and State Regents approved reimbursements in June 2005 for the tuition waivers
awarded during the fall 2005 and spring 2006 terms. This item will cover reimbursements for waivers
awarded during the summer 2006 term.
POLICY ISSUES:
This report is consistent with the State Regents’ policy.
ANALYSIS:
For the summer 2006 term, senior high schools students received waivers totaling $142,291. The total
number of hours waived totaled 2,574 and the number of students totaled 683. This reimbursement
represents tuition costs only as the students are responsible for payment of fees, books and supplies.
The State Regents allocated $2.5 million to this program in June 2005, of which $1.7 million was
allocated to reimburse waivers granted in the fall 2005 and spring 2006, leaving funding available to
cover this request of $142,291.

Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
AGENDA ITEM #14-c:
SUBJECT:
Approval of allocation of FY07 grant funds.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve the tuition assistance grants in
the amount of $557.50 to 25 institutions for participation in the University of
Oklahoma Economic Development Institute for a total allocation of $13,937.50, as
listed below.
BACKGROUND:
At the meeting of June 23, 2006, the State Regents allocated $1,047,523 for grants and activities to
include economic development, research and quality initiatives. A portion of the funding for this line
item was approved for allocation to institutions and programs. The remaining funds will be
recommended for allocation later in FY07.
The mission of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education is to build a nationally competitive
system of higher education that will provide education programs and services universally recognized for
excellence, expand frontiers of knowledge, and enhance quality of life (II-I-36). Among the goals of the
State Regents is the encouragement of economic development, applying scientific, professional, and
technological expertise to promote economic progress.
The tuition assistance grants are consistent with the State Regents’ Public Agenda initiative number five
to “Develop Academic and Training Programs Based on Workforce Needs.” The knowledge and skills
obtained through attending the Economic Development Institute allows the professional economic
developers in higher education to become familiar with the perspective of those who strive to attract,
retain and expand opportunities for local businesses. With this new knowledge and their current
foundations for excellence, the institutions can become more intricately involved in the wealth creation in
their region with these new tools in their economic development tool kit.
POLICY ISSUES:
The recommendation is consistent with Regents’ policy and actions.
ANALYSIS:
Tuition Assistance Grant for the Economic Development Institute
($13,937.50)
It is recommended that the State Regents approve the tuition assistance grants for the Economic
Development Council members to attend the University of Oklahoma Economic Development Institute
(EDI). The EDI program at the University of Oklahoma is accredited by the International Economic
97
Development Council (IEDC) and is the only multi-year, professional level program of its type in the
United States.
The intent of the tuition assistance for the members of the State Regents’ Economic Development Council
to attend the Economic Development Institute is to provide these professional economic developers in
higher education with the current tools and knowledge needed to be competitive in today’s marketplace.
Oklahoma’s higher education institutions are morphing from strictly academic institutions to the broader
perspective of community stewards, which involves the field of economic development. The knowledge
and tools acquired from attending the EDI will strengthen the institutions’ involvement in community
development, business relations, and workforce development.
It is recommended that the State Regents approve the one-time support of tuition assistance for the 2006
winter session in Oklahoma City during the week of December 3, 2006. The cost for half the tuition is
$557.50 per institution for a total allocation of $13,937.50 to a maximum of 25 public institutions.

Meeting of the

AGENDA ITEM #14-e:
SUBJECT:
Approval of allocation of state appropriations for research initiative of the Consortium for
Legume Research.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve the second allocation of $750,000
for a three-year research initiative of the Consortium for Legume Research to
combat cotton root rot disease in alfalfa.
BACKGROUND:
At the meeting of September 15, 2005, the State Regents allocated $750,000 in state appropriations for
FY06, in support of the funding proposal from the Consortium for Legume Research. Research scientists
from the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University and the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation
collaborate on research affecting economically significant legume crops, including alfalfa, soybeans and
peanuts. The Consortium promotes the coordination of individual research program and facilitates the
exchange of research materials and information, maximizing the use of the member institutions’ existing
resources. Funding for Consortium projects comes from private sources, competitive research grants, and
federal and state appropriations.
Alfalfa is Oklahoma’s largest legume crop, grown on approximately 350,000 acres and worth over $60
million to the Oklahoma economy. Phymatotricum root rot, also known as cotton root rot and Texas root
rot, is caused by a fungus that attacks over 2,000 species of broadleaf plants, including alfalfa. The
fungus is most destructive in soils that are of limestone origin, highly alkaline, and exposed to high
summer temperatures. In Oklahoma, the disease is mostly restricted to the southern tier of counties in the
Red River Valley. Because the geographic distribution of the disease is limited, federal agencies have
little interest in supporting research on the fungus.
POLICY ISSUES:
ANALYSIS:
The objectives of the research are to characterize cotton root rot in alfalfa at the biological, chemical and
genetic levels, with the long-term goal of developing resistant alfalfa varieties. The proposal aims to
utilize a multi-disciplinary staged approach, the latest tools and molecular biology and genetics and a
state-of-the-art breeding program to study the disease and the plant. Total budget for the project is $1.5
million over two to three years. The universities and the foundation will also contribute faculty and
research assistant time as well as waive indirect cost charges.
100.5
A progress report, as required by the September 15, 2005 agenda, has been received and funding for
FY07 is recommended at $750,000. Funding is available in the EPSCoR line item allocation.
100.6
Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
AGENDA ITEM #15:
Endowment.
SUBJECT:
Endowment Trust Fund Investment Performance and Annual Distribution.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve a distribution in the amount of
$11,873,594.43 for fiscal year 2006 and $12,263,608.83 for prior years’ carryover-totaling approximately $24.1 million-- for institutional expenditure from eligible
Endowment Trust Fund accounts.
BACKGROUND:
With the allocation at the June 17, 2006, meeting, the State Regents have allocated a total of $170.2
million to the Endowment Trust Fund for chairs, professorships and lectureships and from state
appropriations since inception of the program in 1988. These allocations are to support the establishment
of faculty chairs and professorships and for related activities to improve the quality of instruction and
research at colleges and universities in the State System. State Regents have also allocated $16.93 million
for the Langston University Endowment since 1999. In addition to state funding, the fund contains
private matching funds and unrestricted gifts.
In September 2003 the endowment distribution policy was revised to allow for 4.5 percent of the threeyear average market value at June 30 to be available for distribution. This revision became effective with
the FY04 distribution. Also, included for the eighth year is the available distribution for the Langston
University Endowment.
POLICY ISSUES:
Investments for the Endowment Trust Fund have been made in compliance with the State Regents’
investment policy and relevant State Statutes.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The market value of the trust fund was $342,456,771 as of June 30, 2006. In FY06 the fund earned 12.2
percent, net of fees.
The State Regents’ current investment policy provides that “the investment committee shall determine the
distribution...The distribution will not necessarily be equivalent to actual earnings during the year, but to
maintain a distribution rate from year to year that, as a goal, will approximate 4.5 percent of the asset
values based on an average of the past three years for the endowment trust fund.” The attached
distribution schedules reflect the distributions available for each eligible Endowment Trust Fund accounts
and are presented for approval.

Title 70, O.S. 2005 Supp, Section 3980.4. For each proposed issue, the issuing governing board shall
prepare a Statement of Essential Facts for the use of and information of prospective bond purchasers. The
State Regents’ responsibility is to examine the Statement of Essential Facts and if they determine that,
based upon such facts and projections, the projected revenue will satisfy the financial obligation to be
incurred, they shall certify such to the Governor, the Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives
and the President Pro Tempore of the Oklahoma State Senate.
The universities may pledge to the repayment of obligations any lawfully available source of revenue
other than revenues appropriated by the Legislature from tax receipts, but inclusive of revenues derived
from the Oklahoma Education Lottery Act accruing to the credit of the university.
POLICY ISSUES: State Regents’ policy does not address this type of financing.
ANALYSIS:
The University has three objectives in their proposed refinancing plan. The first objective is to realize
debt savings through the issuance of advance refunding bonds. The second objective is to release prior
liens on five previous bond issuances and consolidate these sources into a general revenue pledge, as
recently permitted through legislation passed in 2005, and the third objective is to benefit from the release
of $1.1 million in existing debt service reserve obligations through the refunding of the Athletic Facilities
Revenue Bonds.
The proceeds received from the sale of the General Revenue Bond Refunding Series 2006A bonds will be
used (a) to advance refund five previously issued series as described below, (b) to make required deposits
into the Escrow Funds, and (c) for payment of costs of issuance.
The proposed plan includes the refunding of the five outstanding revenue bonds. A brief description of
the bonds to be refunded and the current outstanding principal balance of such bonds are provided below:
117
Multiple Facilities Series 1998 Bonds
$18,805,000
Original Par Value:
$21,950,000
Original proceeds were used to repair student housing facilities, make improvements to
the Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, Murray Case Sells Swim Complex, the Energy Center,
Nielsen Hall (Physics) and the Law Center.
Public Facilities Program ODFA 2000 Bonds
$ 8,865,000
Original Par Value:
$10,000,000
Original proceeds were used to renovate Ellison Hall (Arts & Sciences,) construct and
equip a multi-purpose laboratory and expand the Fred Jones Art Center.
Student Usage Facilities Series 2000 Bonds
$ 8,415,000
Original Par Value:
$ 9,500,000
Original proceeds were used to expand the Huston Huffman Physical Fitness Center and
partially renovate the Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
Athletic Facilities Series 2001 Bonds
$13,920,000
Original Par Value:
$15,500,000
Original proceeds were used to partially finance renovation and additions to the multiple
athletic facilities including Lloyd Noble Center, the tennis center, softball locker rooms,
indoor practice facility, the Academic Center in the football complex, and the football
locker rooms.
Athletic Facilities Series 2002A Bonds
$62,885,000
Original Par Value:
$63,750,000
Original proceeds were used to fund the expansion and improvements to the football
stadium.
It is anticipated that the bonds will be issued as serial bonds payable on July 1 for each of the years 2007
through 2031 with interest payments commencing on January 1, 2007, and semiannually each year
thereafter. The bonds are general, limited, and special obligations of the Board of Regents for the
University of Oklahoma. The University has pledged, as security for the bonds, all lawfully available
revenues with the exception of tax receipt appropriations, as required by statute. The available resources
will include the following dedicated revenue sources as originally pledged to the issuances being
refunded: (1) Athletic System Revenues, (2) Student Activity Fees, (3) Section 13/New College
Revenue, (4) Cultural and Recreation Services Fees, and (5) Student Facility Fees. It is expected that the
University will not be required to establish a Debt Service Reserve Fund on this issuance.
The pledged revenues as anticipated by the University’s Board will provide sufficient revenue to pay
principal of and interest on the Bonds. The refunding component of this series of bonds calls for an
escrow fund to be established which will redeem a portion of refunded bonds at par, over a period of five
years from 2006 through 2011. The economic savings associated with the refunding is estimated to be
$3.4 million in net present value terms and will also be beneficial to the University’s ability to gain
favorable ratings from the rating agencies using the general revenue pledge. This transaction was
approved by the Board of Regents for the University of Oklahoma at their March 2005 meeting and the
Council of Bond Oversight at their July 27, 2006, meeting.
The Statement of Essential Facts as reflected in the Preliminary Official Statement for the 2006A
Refunding Series has been reviewed and found to be substantially accurate. Projected revenue, as
described in the Statement, will assure that revenues will be adequate to cover debt service requirements.
118
A concurrent resolution authorizing issuance of the bonds has been approved by the legislature. A copy
of the Preliminary Official Statement is available for review.

AGENDA ITEM #17:
Master Lease Program.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents authorize for submission to the Council of
Bond Oversight the 2006C Master Lease Series. The total projects from two entities
amount to approximately $7.2 million.
BACKGROUND:
The Oklahoma State Legislature approved in May 1999, Senate Bill 151, which authorized the State
Regents to establish a master lease program. State System entities may enter into lease agreements for
projects having a project value of $50,000 up to a maximum of $10 million. The terms of the lease
agreements will vary by the useful life of the equipment purchases.
The State Regents’ office works in conjunction with the Oklahoma Development Finance Authority
(ODFA) to administer this program with each institutional lease purchase agreement submitted to the
Council of Bond Oversight for approval. The institutional governing boards have given prior approval of
all equipment purchases submitted under this program.
POLICY ISSUES:
Recommendation is consistent with current State Regents’ policy.
ANALYSIS:
The Master Lease Purchase Program provides the State System entities a method of financing major
personal property acquisitions at significant efficiencies from both financing aspects and administration.
This program is designed to provide flexibility in acquiring new capital equipment by allowing lease
purchase payments or debt service payments to be made on a monthly basis from current capital and
operating funds. Individual sub-lease agreements will be entered into with each participating institution
and the State Regents, under the terms of the Master Lease Purchase Agreement. The institution’s fee
structure shall be based on the individualized purchase package and interest rates available on the day of
bond pricing.
The third series for 2006 includes two system institutions with an estimated total of approximately $7.2
million of equipment and energy performance contract purchases. The following table summarizes this
series of project totals by institution.

AGENDA ITEM #18:
Allocation.
SUBJECT:
Approval of allocations to Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences and the
University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center from the revenue derived from the sale
of cigarettes and tobacco products.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve the allocation of $937,171.48 to
Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences (OSU CHS) and $937,171.48
to the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) from revenue
collected from the taxes placed on the sale of cigarettes and tobacco products.
BACKGROUND:
The Oklahoma Legislature passed House Bill No. 2660 in May 2004, designating a portion of the revenue
collected from taxes on the sale of cigarettes and tobacco products to be allocated for specific purposes at
OUHSC and OSU CHS. This revenue will be deposited into dedicated funds, the “Comprehensive Cancer
Center Debt Service Revolving Fund,” at the Health Sciences Center and the “Oklahoma State University
College of Osteopathic Medicine Revolving Fund,” at OSU CHS. The bill states that the revenue
collected shall be evenly deposited into accounts designated at these entities, for the purpose of servicing
the debt obligations incurred to construct a nationally designated comprehensive cancer center at the OU
Health Sciences Center and for the purpose of servicing debt obligations for construction of a building
dedicated to telemedicine, for the purchase of telemedicine equipment and to provide uninsured/indigent
care in Tulsa County through the OSU College of Osteopathic Medicine. The State Regents approved the
first allocation of these funds in the meeting of May 27, 2005.
POLICY ISSUES:
The recommendation is consistent with Regents’ policy and approved budget principles.
ANALYSIS:
The fund currently has on deposit $1,874,342.96. This amount is sufficient for a transfer of $937,1717.48
each to OSU CHS and OUHSC. The OU Health Sciences Center will hold their funds in an account
designated for the construction of a Comprehensive Cancer Center to be expended at a future date. The
OSU Center for Health Sciences will expend their funds on the following approved program components:
(1) indigent patient clinical care, (2) telemedicine equipment and (3) facility upgrades.
The current allocation to each institution, including this allocation, totals to $6,411,227.37.

RESOLUTION NO. 4674
Pursuant to the authority granted under the Constitution of Oklahoma by Articles XIII-A adopted March 11, 1941, which vests in the
Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education the allocation of funds appropriated by the Legislature for use in The Oklahoma State System of
Higher Education and pursuant to the provisions of House Bill No. 2660, of the Forty-Eighth Oklahoma Legislature,
The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education hereby ALLOCATE the sums set out below for the respective special programs of the
specified institutions for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2006, and ending June 30, 2007, said funds to be subsequently allotted for encumbrance and

AGENDA ITEM #19-a:
Policy.
SUBJECT:
Adoption of Policy for the Council of Business Officers’ Advisory Group
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents adopt a policy to formally recognize the
Council of Business Officers as an advisory council and incorporate it into State
Regents’ administrative policies of operation.
BACKGROUND:
Although this Council has had regular meetings for many years, the group has recently adopted formal
guidelines for operation and desires to be formally recognized by the State Regents as an advisory council
to the Chancellor, State Regents’ staff, State Regents’ Presidents Council and other advisory groups as
requested. The Council is a statewide panel composed of the chief business officers from each institution
in The State System of Higher Education. The group meets on a monthly basis to engage in matters of
best business practices, system-wide initiatives and to develop pro-active administrative solutions.
POLICY ISSUES:
The formal establishment of the Council of Business Officers is consistent with State Regents’ policy and
procedures. State Regents’ policy currently recognizes the Council on Instruction (Academic Officers),
the Council of Student Affairs, the Communicators Council, the Economic Development Council, the
Council on Information Technology, and the Council of Presidents.
ANALYSIS:
A copy of the bylaws for the conduct and operations of the State Regents’ Council of Business Officers is
attached. The guidelines were adopted by the Council of Business Officers at their meeting in December
2005.

Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
AGENDA ITEM #19-b:
Policy.
SUBJECT:
Adoption of Amendments to the Master Lease Program Policy
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve amendments to the Master Lease
Program Policy to include the acquisition of and improvements to real property as
authorized by the legislature.
BACKGROUND:
In the spring of 1997, work began on development of a systemwide Master Lease Purchase Program to
provide a method of financing major personal property acquisitions by the State System institutions. The
Oklahoma State Legislature approved in May 1999, Senate Bill 151, which authorized the State Regents
to establish an equipment master lease program. In May 2005, the legislature expanded the authorization
to include financing of the acquisition of or improvements to real property.
The State Regents’ staff works in conjunction with the Oklahoma Development Finance Authority
(ODFA) to administer this program with each institutional lease purchase agreement submitted to the
State Council of Bond Oversight for final approval. The institutional projects require governing board
approval prior to participation in an issuance submitted for consideration.
POLICY ISSUES:
The proposed policy amendments are attached and require State Regents’ approval.
ANALYSIS:
The expansion of the Master Lease Program to include financing real property projects greatly benefits
the institutions in their ability to accomplish deferred maintenance projects, renovations and minor
construction projects. This source of financing is an important tool to help the institutions to accomplish
capital projects, as the dedicated annual revenue source for capital projects is currently limited to Section
13/New College funds and Section 13 Offset allocations. This method of financing will allow the
institutions to pay for projects over a period of time, thus maximizing the dollars available for such
projects in any given budget cycle. It is anticipated that the first submission of real property projects will
be submitted for Regents’ consideration at the October meeting.
131
4.17
MASTER LEASE PROGRAM
4.171
4.172
Purpose
A.
Equipment Program: The purpose of the State System Master Lease
Purchase Equipment Program is to offer a method of financing the
acquisition of major personal property that will provide cost efficiencies
in both financing and administrative costs. As authorized in 70 O.S.
Supp. 2005 § 3206.6, institutions may enter into lease agreements for
values from a minimum of $50,000 up to values of $10 million. The
lease terms will vary by the useful life of the equipment purchased, yet
may have a useful life of no more than twenty (20) years.
B.
Real Property Program: The purpose of the State System Master Lease
Purchase Real Property Program is to finance the acquisition of real
property or improvements to real property in a cost effect manner. As
authorized in 70 O.S. Supp. 2005 § 3206.6a, institutions may enter into
lease agreements for values from a minimum of $50,000 up to values of
$25 million. The lease terms will vary by the useful life of each project,
yet may not exceed thirty (30) years.
Participation in and Process of the Program
A.
Pursuant to a Master Lease Purchase Agreement, the Oklahoma State
Regents (“Lessee”), on behalf of The State System of Higher Education,
will enter into an agreement with a financial institution (the “Lessor”), or
another similar entity such as the Oklahoma Development Finance
Authority, to provide funding for individual purchases of personal
property. Individual institutional lease-purchase agreements will be
entered into under the Master Lease Agreement as needed for equipment
purchases. The types of purchases authorized under this program may
include, but will not be limited to:
1.
computer equipment
2.
agricultural equipment
3.
telephone equipment
4.
copiers
5.
research and medical equipment
6.
maintenance equipment.
Purchases for the acquisition of real property and improvements to real
property are also authorized expenditures under the Master Lease
Agreement for Real Property. These types of expenditures may include
new construction or renovations to existing buildings as well as
acquisition of land for campus expansion.
132
B.
The State Regents’ fiscal and legal staff, in conjunction with the
Oklahoma Development Finance Authority (ODFA), will administer the
Master Lease Purchase Program. The Office of the Vice Chancellor for
Budget and Finance will coordinate arrangements for the execution of
the Master Lease Agreement and the Lease-Purchase Agreements with
advisement from the General Counsel.
C.
Institutional Lease-Purchase Agreements
Each lease-purchase agreement will establish interest rates, repayment
schedules and prepayment terms applicable to the individual personal
property acquisition. The financial rates will be based upon the daily
rates at the time of issuance with all other provisions, including the
duration of the agreement and redemption provisions being negotiated
with the lessor for each agreement. Projects to be funded through this
program must have institutional governing board approval.
D.
Lease-Purchase Agreement Security
Institutional participation will be secured by lease payments received by
the State Regents from the participatory institutions under the term of the
Lease-Purchase Agreement. The debt service payments by the
institutions should be made from existing capital and operating funds and
will require no additional allocation from the State Regents. The State
Regents, under the authority of Title 62, O.S. § 41.14(B) (2001), have the
ability to reduce an institution’s allocation of funds in order to make debt
service payments for leases financed through Master Lease Purchase
Program. Title to the equipment or property financed through this
program will remain with the Oklahoma Development Finance Authority
until the time debt service is paid. Debt service schedules will be based
on the useful life of the equipment financed.
E.
Applications for Participation
Applications for participation are expected to be received three (3) times
each fiscal year with the first issuance scheduled for mid-August of each
fiscal year, the second issuance scheduled for mid-December, and the
last issuance for a fiscal year in mid-May. If the number of participating
institutions at any given interval does not provide sufficient project dollar
amounts to achieve cost effectiveness, those institutions’ applications
may be held until the next scheduled issuance.
As required by Oklahoma Statutes, the Council of Bond Oversight must
approve all lease-purchase projects. Each block of projects to be
financed by each financed series of bonds must be submitted to the
Council of Bond Oversight under their requirements and approved by the
board before sale of bonds may commence.
F.
Bond Counsel
The bond counsel, selected by Request for Proposal, will provide advice
133
and assistance with the development of the Master Lease Purchase
Program and will be expected to provide a full range of legal services
required in connection with the successful authorization, offering, and
delivery of each lease obligation under the program. The bond counsel
will provide services to include program structure, required
authorizations, advice on tax status and tax implications, development of
legal documents, development of disclosure materials, transcripts, and
review and comment on contracts and agreements. Legal counsel will
also provide assistance with other legal matters relating to investment of
proceeds, reserves, and compliance with federal arbitrage regulations.
G.
Fees and Expenses
The State Regents will either allocate sufficient funds to cover the
expenditures of the issuance of the bonds or alternatively will assess a
cost-based fee to each participating institution. Institutions will submit
debt service payments once a month into a system-wide designated fund
for payment to the Trustee sinking fund as required by negotiation at the
time bonds are issued.

OSU Center for Health Sciences
$20 Million – OSU Medical Authority
1. Project Description
The OSU Medical Authority was created by Senate Bill 1771 to provide for effective and
efficient administration of the graduate medical education programs of the OSU Center for
Health Sciences. The Center for Health Sciences currently operates 18 residency programs and
has identified Tulsa Regional Medical Center as its primary site of practice. Initial funding of
$20 million was appropriated to provide improvements to the facility for the direct benefit of the
University’s residency programs.
The total commitment of the Legislature is $40 million, $20 million in initial funding and $5
million per year over the next four years. The funding will be allocated to specific capital
projects, and while the Trustees of the OSU Medical Authority will have final approval of the
projects, the following have been identified as priorities. All projects will be successfully
completed within 60 months as per the academic affiliation agreement.
2. Projects and Budget for Fund Expenditures
The total commitment of the Legislature is $40 million, $20 million in initial funding and $5

Sensor Center Facilities
(OSU University Multispectral Laboratories)
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
This project establishes the OSU University Multispectral laboratory, headquartered in Ponca
City. This is a national testing and evaluation center for sensors and sensor technologies and
will focus on the development, testing, evaluation and integration of sensors in areas
pertaining to defense and security, and to industrial and medical applications. The project
follows the success of OSU’s sensor program and builds on the reputation being established
by OSU in this field.
The facility will develop sensors from laboratory bench-top systems to usable products.
Initial focus will be on the defense & security sector. The facility will fill the gap between
initial research and final application and commercialization.
This laboratory and center will fulfill a national need for a single facility to perform testing
and integration for sensors and other equipment that are currently spread among a variety of
locations or not evaluated due to limited national laboratory capacity to perform all required
comparative and qualification testing and certification.
Potential customers and users of this laboratory will come from a variety of areas, including
academic, government, and private sector.
Sensor systems to be targeted include chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and
explosives (“CBRNE”), and communication, surveillance, intelligence and reconnaissance
(“C4ISR”).
OSU has a long history of federal and state support in sensors and sensor technology research
& development. The proposed project is a logical development of OSU’s overall sensor
technology strategy and focuses on rapid transition of technology from innovation to
commercialization.
OSU has generated approximately $70M in external research funding over the past 4 years in
this area (including a $19M investment from the State of Oklahoma through the OSRHE).
New job growth and new industry is expected to develop in the central region of Oklahoma
as a result of this initiative. Ultimately the project will provide over 80 high-end professional
jobs. Sensor-related industries are expected to become established because of the presence of
the center.
This is a start-up business project. The initial (first-year) objectives are:
o Take possession of, conduct engineering survey, design and renovation of facilities as
per requirements for CBRNE and C4ISR work at the UML.
o Initiate sensor research in “stand-off” Biometrics, using recently received federal
contracts from the US Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center.
o Hire technical personnel as program expands.
Longer-term strategic objectives include:
o Conduct chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, explosive, command, control,
communications, computing, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and other
sensor-related research, development, evaluation, testing and certification.
o Provide training and educational opportunities that will fuse academic, technical, and
tactical knowledge and experience.
o Facilitate rapid movement of concepts to marketable products via technology
transfer.
o Provide a geographically central location to conduct qualification and comparative
testing.
148
Provide a secure facility to locate proprietary, sensitive, and classified research as
needed.
o Enhance collaborations among universities, government authorities, and the private
sector.
o Provide training for new sensor technologies.
o Act as a repository for storage and exchange of data.
Criteria for success, both short- and long-term, will include such metrics as:
o Number of new jobs created; we anticipate 5 in Year 1, rising by approximately 10
per year to a total of 80 at full operation.
o Number and amount of federal grants & contracts obtained.
o Number and amount of private sector contracts obtained.
o Number of OSU faculty and students involved in the UML activities.
o Number of external collaborations and partnership agreements.
o

Oklahoma Technology and Research Park:
Business Accelerator Building
• We propose building of a 30,000 sf facility to house the Oklahoma Technology and
Research Park (OTRP) Business Accelerator.
• The Business Accelerator will accommodate mid-stage technology companies that
are not yet mature enough to be free standing businesses.
• The goal is to provide centralized support services and business assistance to insure
that promising companies remain in Oklahoma rather than move out of state during
their rapid growth stage.
• The facility will provide an intermediate step for companies between the Business
Incubator at Meridian Technology Center (MTC) and the OTRP Venture laboratories.
• The enterprise will build off existing assets by providing professional services and
assistance to tenant companies through expertise available at Meridian Technology
Center, OSU Center for Innovation and Economic Development, Inc., and the
Stillwater Chamber of Commerce. These entities are represented on the Joint Board
of the OTRP, along with OSU.
• Revenue generated from leases to tenants will be utilized by the Joint Board of the
OTRP to maintain, enhance the OTRP grounds and infrastructure, and eventually,
employ a manager to be permanently housed in the facility.
• The Accelerator is an integral part of the OTRP’s plan to foster, grow and attract new
knowledge-based industry to the Stillwater region. The overall strategy includes a
Business Incubator (located at the MTC) and Class A space for growth and expansion
at the OTRP Venture Labs, as illustrated below:
Incubator
(MTC)
Business
Accelerator
(OSU/OTRP)
Venture Labs
(OTRP)
The different stages of business growth available at the OTRP, Stillwater
•
•
•
The Accelerator is different from the Incubator in that there will be graduated rental
for the businesses occupying the space over the period of their occupancy. Tenants
will use the facility as a transition between the low incubator rates at the MTC and the
fully competitive rates in the Venture labs. The period of occupancy will be
negotiated with each company appropriate to the viability of their business and
meeting the profile of businesses targeted for development in the OTRP. Space will
be limited, however.
Similar to an incubator, however, the Joint Board of the OTRP will make available
the same services and support systems as currently provided to tenants of MTC’s
incubator and OTRP Venture I building.
The Business Accelerator will primarily serve: (1) start-up businesses that have been
in a business incubator and are not yet ready to occupy permanent space, and (2)
existing companies that while established are still growing and in need of business
assistance and support.
151
•
•
While the rent in the Business Accelerator will increase to market rates over the
period of occupancy, overall costs will be less as central services (receptionist,
copying, fax machine, etc.) and common space (conference room, hallways,
bathrooms, etc.) will be a shared expense. The Business Accelerator will provide
professional assistance to tenant companies through expertise available at Meridian
Technology Center, OSU Center for Innovation and Economic Development, Inc.,
and the Stillwater Chamber of Commerce.
Criteria for success will include such metrics as:
o Number of companies “graduating” from the MTC Incubator into the
Accelerator
o Number of companies entering Accelerator from other locations.
o Number of companies graduating (expanding) from the Accelerator into the
OTRP Venture Labs.
o Number of employees in the Accelerator, and annual payroll.
o Number of research collaborations between Accelerator tenants and OSU
research programs.
2. Key Personnel
• The Business Accelerator will be managed by the Oklahoma Technology Research
Park (OTRP) manager (to be identified) who will report to the OTRP Joint Board. In
addition, this individual will oversee the Park infrastructure and be directly
responsible for recruitment and support of companies in the OTRP.
• Other key personnel are:
o OSU: Dr. Stephen W.S. McKeever, Vice President for Research and
Technology Transfer, OSU.
o MTC: Dr. Andrea Kelly, Superintendent of Meridian Technology Center
o Center for Innovation and Economic Development, Inc., (CIED): Dr. Joe
Alexander, President of OSU’s CIED.
3. Budget
• The facility will have no capital debt and, therefore, will generate net income earlier
in the start up process.
• Construction:
o Construction:
$4,350,000
o Contingency (cost overrun)
approx. 15% = $ 650,000
o Net construction:
$5,000,000
o Cost of operations:
approx.
$ 250,000/yr
• Operating costs will be covered by income generated from rentals at full operation,
and by the OTRP Joint Board until that time.
4. Matching Funds
• None currently identified, but we will seek matching funds through the regional EDA
office in Austin, Tx.

Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
AGENDA ITEM #24-a (2):
Programs.
SUBJECT:
Ratification of approved institutional requests to suspend degree program.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents ratify the approved institutional request
for suspension of an existing academic program, as detailed below.
BACKGROUND:
Tulsa Community College (TCC) requests authorization to suspend the Associate in Science in Interior
Design (221).
POLICY ISSUES:
Suspending programs is consistent with the State Regents’ “Academic Program Review,” which allows
an institution to “suspend” academic programs. Students may not be recruited or admitted into suspended
programs. Additionally, suspended programs may not be listed in institutional catalogs and will be
reinstated or deleted within three years.
ANALYSIS:
TCC requests suspension of the Associate in Science in Interior Design (221). TCC reports that this
program was designed to articulate to Oklahoma State University’s (OSU) baccalaureate program, but
changes have occurred that will not facilitate students completing the TCC program prior to transfer.
TCC needs time to review the program and discuss full articulation of the program with OSU.
Authorization was granted by the Chancellor for the above request.

AGENDA ITEM #24-b:
Post Audit.
SUBJECT:
Approval of institutional requests for final approval existing programs.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve institutional requests for final
approval of existing degree programs for Carl Albert State College and review
schedule extension for University of Oklahoma as described below.
BACKGROUND:
The State Regents approve new programs provisionally with institutionally established and State Regents’
approved criteria to be met prior to final approval. Examples of final program approval criteria include:
minimum number of enrollments, graduates, and/or full-time equivalent enrollments (FTEs); accreditation
from a regional or national accrediting agency; post-graduation employment rates; specific academic
achievement profiles; and/or minimum ranking or pass rates on standardized tests or licensure
examinations.
A summary of the recommendation is provided below. The accompanying table outlines the criteria,
productivity, and recommendation for each degree program.
POLICY ISSUES:
These actions are consistent with the State Regents’ “Academic Program Approval” policy.
ANALYSIS:
As noted above, the following recommendation is included in the table (Attachment A), which lists the
degree program, date of approval, criteria established by the institution and approved by the State
Regents, productivity level, status of other criteria, and recommendation for the program.
Recommendation: Final Approval
•
Associate in Applied Science in Radiologic Technology (058)
This program met the productivity criterion for enrollment but fell short by one graduate (achieved 20
enrolled of the 20 required and achieved nine graduates of the ten required). CASC has demonstrated
strong student demand for the program. Final approval is recommended.
Recommendation: Review Schedule Extension
185
•
Bachelor of Arts in Women’s Studies (320)
This program was reviewed at the June 30, 2003 State Regents’ meeting and granted a review schedule
extension, with a revised graduate criterion (required graduates was reduced from 12 graduates to 7
graduates). For the current review, the program again did not meet the productivity criteria (achieved 13
enrolled rather than the 15 required; achieved 6 graduates rather than the 7 required). OU has had
external evaluators review the program, finding the program to be rigorous and its students nationally
competitive. Based on OU’s justification of the program’s service to undergraduates, research efforts,
outreach activities, and ongoing efforts to promote the program, an extension of the review schedule is
recommended, with revised productivity requirements, with continuation beyond fall 2010 dependent
upon meeting the following criteria:
Stipulations:
9 Majors enrolled:
9 Graduates:
13 in fall 2009; and
5 in 2009-2010
•
Certificate in Human Resources Development (340)
This program did not meet productivity criteria (achieved zero enrolled of the 25 required and achieved
zero graduates of the 15 required). OU reports that this certificate program was developed specifically for
military personnel and uses existing courses for other viable programs. According to OU, deleting the
offering will not negatively affect the institution at this time. The certificate may be requested again by
the military after the current deployments end. OU requests to keep the program to better respond to new
opportunities for students in the future. Therefore, an extension of the review schedule with revised
productivity requirements is recommended. Continuation beyond fall 2010 is dependent upon meeting the
following criteria:
Stipulations:
9 Majors enrolled:
9 Graduates:
13 in fall 2009; and

AGENDA ITEM #24-c:
Cooperative Agreements.
SUBJECT:
Ratification of approved institutional request regarding cooperative agreements.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents ratify Cameron University’s (CU) request
for the cooperative agreement as described below.
BACKGROUND:
In 1988, the State Regents approved the “Cooperative Agreements Between Institutions and Career
Technology Centers” (renamed “Cooperative Agreements Between Institutions and Career Technology
Centers”) policy in June 2006. The policy was designed to expand Oklahomans’ educational
opportunities and to encourage colleges and technology centers to develop resource-sharing partnerships.
The policy guides the creation of cooperative agreements between Oklahoma’s colleges and technology
centers. Currently, 352 cooperative agreements (involving 126 associate in applied science programs) are
offered through 18 colleges and 29 career technology centers (CTCs) within Oklahoma and two out-ofstate CTCs.
At the January 24, 1997 meeting, the State Regents approved revisions to the Cooperative Agreement
Policy to allow high school students meeting specified requirements to enroll in cooperative agreements.
CU requests authorization for a cooperative agreement with Great Plains Technology Center (GPTC) to
allow students to receive college credit for coursework completed at the technology center toward the
Associate in Applied Science in Multimedia Design (510).
POLICY ISSUES:
These actions are consistent with the State Regents’ “Cooperative Agreements Between Institutions and
Career Technology Centers” policy.
ANALYSIS:
CU requests authorization for a cooperative agreement with GPTC to allow students to receive up to 12
hours of college credit for courses completed at GPTC toward the Associate in Applied Science in
Multimedia Design (510). It is understood that general education courses required for these degree
programs will not be offered at the technology center as part of these agreements, and high school
students will be permitted to enroll in accordance with State Regents’ policy. This cooperative agreement
has been approved by GPTC’s alliance partner Western Oklahoma State College (WOSC).
189
Institutional and CPTC faculty and staff will serve on oversight and evaluation committees for the
cooperative agreements. The committees will meet at least annually to review course content, relevance,
and instructional methods as related to the established course and program competencies.
Approval was granted by the Chancellor. State Regents’ ratification is requested.

AGENDA ITEM #24-d:
Academic Nomenclature.
SUBJECT:
Ratification of Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU) institutional request
to change nomenclature of an academic department.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents ratify the approved academic
nomenclature change as described below.
BACKGROUND:
SWOSU requests ratification to form two new departments from the Department of Language Arts. The
new departments are the Department of Language and Literature and the Department of Communication
and Theatre. The institutional governing board approved the request July 28, 2006.
POLICY ISSUES:
This action is consistent with the State Regents’ “Approval of Changes in Academic Structure and
Nomenclature” policy.
ANALYSIS:
Forming two departments increases the focus and emphasis on English, Spanish, and Literature for
majors in the Language and Literature department and for theatre majors in the Communications and
Theatre department.

AGENDA ITEM #24-e:
Courses.
SUBJECT:
Ratification of approval for University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (USAO) to offer
off-campus courses in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents ratify the approval of USAO’s request to
offer courses in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
BACKGROUND:
USAO requested approval to offer courses for credit continuing education for school personnel (regular
and special education teachers, para-professionals, and support residential staff) who work in Bureau of
Indian Affairs schools in Albuquerque, New Mexico. These courses will help meet federal requirements
outlined in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and No Child Left Behind legislation. Each
course will enroll approximately 20 to 25 students. A federal grant through the University of Oklahoma’s
American Indian Center for Excellence in Exceptional Children (AICEEC) will pay the tenured faculty’s
travel expenses, honorarium, student tuition, books, and associated expenses.
POLICY ISSUES:
Courses and Programs.” While regional universities are not functioned to offer off-campus courses outof-state, State Regents’ policy allows for exceptions with appropriate documentation. USAO’s letter
provided sufficient documentation that all applicable State Regents’ policies will be followed including
educational standards and fiscal provisions.

AGENDA ITEM #24-f (1):
Electronic Delivery
SUBJECT:
University of Oklahoma (OU). Approval of request to offer an existing degree program
via electronic media.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve the OU request to offer a
Bachelor of Arts in Information Studies (343) via electronic media.
BACKGROUND:
The University of Oklahoma (OU) has offered electronically delivered courses and programs for over two
decades. When the State Regents revised the Electronic Media Policy in 1998, conditional approval was
required and a best practice review was due before final approval. OU completed a best practice review
on the Bachelor of Liberal Studies April 1, 2004. Consistent with revisions approved at the State
Regents’ May 30, 2003 meeting, once an institution has successfully completed a best practice review and
received final approval of an electronic delivery program, additional existing programs may be considered
for electronic delivery without completing the best practice review process.
POLICY ISSUES:
This action is consistent with the Electronically Delivered and Traditional Off-Campus Courses and
Programs policy.
ANALYSIS:
OU requests approval to offer the Bachelor of Arts in Information Studies (343) through web-based
methodologies beginning in the 2006 fall semester. It is an existing program and no new courses will be
added.
OU’s request addresses satisfactorily the criteria listed in the Electronic Media Policy. These criteria
include faculty qualifications and training, student services, adequacy of resources, and funding. OU’s
responses are summarized below:
•
Faculty. Faculty teaching online courses hold the same academic credentials as faculty teaching
traditional courses and are approved through the academic unit offering the courses. Courses offered
through the online program are required to follow the standards for rigor and quality expected of all
courses. Faculty support services and training are coordinated through the College of Arts and
Sciences Online Program (CASOP). The Director of CASOP meets with all online instructors and
assesses the level of support that is required by each instructor. Instructor design support, and
hardware and software support, is provided to faculty throughout the development and teaching of
online courses. Software training is available at both the college and university levels.
195
•
Student Support Services. Students in the online web-based option will have access to library
resources, academic advising, and other support services that will be comparable to students in oncampus programs.
•
Demand. The request is based on the need for an alternative delivery mode to meet the increasing
demands for information workers in the State of Oklahoma. The traditional program was developed
in 2001 in response to expressions of need from business and industry for a degree program that
provided students with an appropriate mixture of technological abilities and concentration on the
humanistic aspects of information and systems use. Students currently enrolled in online courses
report significant benefits from online courses and have requested that the entire degree be made
available online.
•
Funding. No new funding will be required to deliver these programs electronically. Existing
funding within the institutional budget provides for faculty, support services, and the requisite
technology. Student tuition and fees will provide resources for any additional adjunct faculty that
may be added as enrollments grow.
Based on staff analysis, approval of OU’s request to offer the Bachelor of Arts in Information Studies is
recommended.
196
Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
AGENDA ITEM #24-f (2):
Electronic Delivery.
SUBJECT:
Western Oklahoma State College (WOSC). Approval of request to offer an existing
degree program via electronic media.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents provisionally approve WOSC’s request to
offer the Associate in Applied Science in Office Systems Technology (049) via
electronic media with the stipulation that continuation of the electronic offering
beyond spring 2008 will depend upon the successful completion of a best practice
review prior to January 1, 2008.
BACKGROUND:
WOSC began offering electronic media offerings in 1996 through various methodologies. In 2005-06,
WOSC reported 1,683 enrollments in courses delivered electronically. WOSC requests authorization to
offer the existing Associate in Applied Science in Office Systems Technology (049) via electronic media.
POLICY ISSUES:
Courses and Program” policy. The Electronic Media Policy calls for a two-step approval process.
Evidence of specified quality criteria must be provided at the time of the initial request, with provisional
approval granted if the criteria are addressed satisfactorily. Following provisional approval, the
institution must conduct a best practice review that provides quantitative and qualitative analysis of the
electronic media offerings through a rigorous review of exemplary programs from other institutions.
Final approval will depend on the results of the best practice review.
ANALYSIS:
WOSC has requested approval to offer the Associate in Applied Science in Office Systems Technology
(049) electronically. No new courses will be added. WOSC’s request addresses satisfactorily the criteria
listed in the Electronic Media Policy. These criteria include faculty qualifications and training, student
demand, adequacy of resources, and funding. WOSC’s responses are summarized below.
•
•
Faculty. As required by policy, faculty teaching online courses hold the same academic credentials
as faculty teaching traditional courses. WOSC has recently hired an Instructional Design
Coordinator. This individual works with faculty to ensure quality in online course design and online
course delivery. This coordinator also provides training in emerging technologies to update faculty
skills.
Demand. While the Office Systems Technology degree is not high profile, local area businesses
expressed need for the skills taught in the program. The program’s advisory committee
197
recommended the online delivery mechanism be added to allow flexibility required for military
students and their spouses. WOSC also works with four area technology centers. Allowing students
to take online classes to complete this degree program bridges the gap between the technology centers
and WOSC and will allow more students to complete the program. The program will also benefit
WOSC’s welfare-to-work students who need flexible college courses to complete college work in a
shorter time period.
•
Student Support Services. Students may enroll online, check financial aid, billing information, etc.,
through Campus Connect, the institution’s portal. WOSC uses two course management platforms,
WebCT and Moodle (an open source product), but is working toward merging into a single platform.
Tutorials are provided to facilitate usage and access. Faculty who teach online courses will post
virtual office hours to allow students access to faculty online. Online communication tools within the
course management system will encourage communication among faculty, students, and among
students. Once a student sets up a library account, they have access to over 500,000 online periodicals
through WOSC’s library. A full-time help desk is available for online students.
•
Funding. No new funding will be required to deliver this program electronically. Existing
allocations from WOSC’s Information Services budget will fund the course management system,
hardware/server costs, faculty, and student support services will meet the cost of the online program.
WOSC will conduct a rigorous best practice review during the first two years of the program’s online
offerings. Continuation of electronic delivery beyond spring 2008 will depend on the results of the best
practices review.

Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
AGENDA ITEM #24-g (1):
Grants.
SUBJECT:
“Raising College Aspirations” Community and Faith-Based Organization Grants
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents ratify grants to support community and
faith-based organizations that promote Oklahoma’s Promise - the OHLAP
scholarship program and provide college aspiration activities for students and
families.
BACKGROUND:
Since early January 2005 the State Regents’ Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate
Programs (GEAR UP) has piloted and implemented projects with community and faith-based
organizations (CBO’s) that promote Oklahoma’s Promise – the Oklahoma Higher Learning Access
Program (OHLAP) scholarship program. The projects have been successful and have contributed to the
overall growth of the OHLAP program in the state. This year from January through June, for example, the
enrollment of students into the OHLAP program in three Oklahoma City high schools (Capitol Hill High
School, U.S. Grant High School and Southeast High School) increased by 229 students. This compares
with a 132 student enrollment increase for five other Oklahoma City metropolitan high schools. The
project high schools had 73% more enrollments. This enrollment increase is largely attributable to the
efforts of the community-based organization, the Greater Oklahoma City Hispanic Chamber of
Commerce, which was assigned to work with the three individual school sites. College student interns
involved in the project identified eligible high school students at Capitol Hill High School, U.S. Grant
High School and Southeast High School and made appointments with parents, guiding them though the
OHLAP enrollment process until students were successfully enrolled. Tulsa and eleven other Oklahoma
communities involved in the project had more modest increases in OHLAP enrollment, but still the
efforts of the community based organizations have made a difference.
Capitalizing on the success of OHLAP enrollment through the CBO grant project, Oklahoma GEAR UP
has expanded the scope of the project by allowing community and faith-based organizations to include
other college aspiration activities and parent engagement activities. Examples of college aspiration and
parent engagement activities are:
• Providing students advice and counsel on course selection and succeeding academically;
• Creating career awareness field trips to community business and industry locations to showcase
professions that require a college degree;
• College campus tours to public and private two-year and four-year institutions;
• Conducting financial aid awareness activities, including special events that help students and parents
apply for federal, state, institutional and private scholarships; and
• Creating parent training workshops that raise parent and student expectations for education and
careers.
199
The CBO grant project is also concentrating its efforts in communities and high schools where enrollment
in the OHLAP is minimal and where increasing OHLAP program enrollment will have the greatest
impact. In large measure, the CBO grant project is shifting its efforts and resources to Tulsa County
where typically less than 10% of eligible students in each of the Tulsa Public School Districts high
schools are enrolled in the OHLAP program. In Tulsa County, one large grant will go to the Community
Action Project of Tulsa County (CAPTC) which will launch a coordinated OHLAP promotion effort in
five urban high schools, leveraging its successful Benefits Eligibility Screening for Oklahomans (BESO)
program and its free tax preparation program to reach more students and families with information about
OHLAP. New grant projects are also underway in Oklahoma City, Muskogee, Lawton, Guymon and
Stigler.
POLICY ISSUES:
The provision of scholarships is a required component of the U.S. Department of Education’s Gaining
Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP). In its 1999 proposal OHLAP
was designated as Oklahoma GEAR UP’s scholarship component, providing priority students in selected
Oklahoma schools with required financial assistance. The federal GEAR UP program also endorses the
involvement of community-based organizations as partners to ensure local sustainability of early
intervention strategies for college readiness.
ANALYSIS:
In response to a GEAR UP request for proposal, sixteen community and faith-based organizations
submitted proposals to participate in the “Raising College Aspirations” Community and Faith-Based
Organization (CBO) grants project. The attached table lists the eight (8) community-based organizations
that were selected to receive project funding. The table also lists the amount of grant funding and the

AGENDA ITEM #24-g (2):
Grants.
SUBJECT:
GEAR UP
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is presented for State Regents’ ratification
BACKGROUND:
In keeping with the public awareness focus and scope of the State Regents’ original GEAR UP grant
awarded in 1999, GEAR UP is partnering once again with the Oklahoma Center for State Scholars,
administrated by the Oklahoma Business and Education Coalition, to help promote the importance of high
school students taking a challenging high school course of study in order to prepare for and be ready for
college.
Additionally, the State Regents and many other partners participated in the Achieving Classroom
Excellence Act (ACE) Task Force, creating multiple plans to implement the education reforms led by
Governor Brad Henry. One outcome of this work was to create a campaign to inform parents and
students about the new high school course requirements and encourage parents to ensure their children
take the recommended (default) curriculum.
In GEAR UP Phase I’s final year, informing parents and students of curricular issues that help them
prepare for college was a priority. To that end, GEAR UP and OBEC, as well as other partners are
helping to fund a campaign to help Governor Henry’s initiatives in education to reach into the decisionmaking in every home in Oklahoma where high school students’ lives are being planned.
POLICY ISSUES:
This item is consistent with GEAR UP’s goals and objectives, with the goals of the ACE task force and is
being ratified because the final day for the GEAR UP Phase I grant to encumber resources was on August
31, 2006.
ANALYSIS:
OBEC is leading the efforts for a campaign to inform Oklahoma high school students and parents about
the benefits of the new recommended high school curriculum, as well as the problems that students may
face if parents opt them out of the new, more rigorous high school requirements. When high school
requirements change, often there is confusion in Oklahoma households about what is required for their
sons or daughters in high school, as well as what the best course of study should be.
200.1
Within the ACE task force, OBEC agreed to lead the campaign to inform the state of all the issues
associated with Governor Henry’s landmark education initiative. Other partners within the ACE task
force, including the State Regents through GEAR UP, are contributing to this effort. Therefore, the State
Regents are awarding a grant of $25,000.00 to OBEC and their Center for State Scholars to maximize all
ACE partners’ abilities to reach every child and every parent regarding very important high school
choices.
State Regents’ staff will work with OBEC as the campaign is developed and ensure that the messaging is
consistent not only with the ACE law, but also the goals and priorities for student preparation for college
forwarded by the State Regents and supported by GEAR UP.
It is recommended the State Regents ratify this grant, funded by GEAR UP.
200.2
Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
AGENDA ITEM #24-h:
Scholarships.
SUBJECT:
Approval of funds for scholarships.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve an allocation of $3,000 for
scholarships to be awarded by the Governor’s Advisory Committee on Employment
of People with Disabilities.
BACKGROUND:
The Governor’s Advisory Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities, through their liaison in
the Office of Handicapped Concerns has requested that the State Regents sponsor three $1,000
scholarships to be awarded to outstanding high school seniors with disabilities. The scholarship
recipients would be selected by the Committee and honored at an award ceremony in spring 2007. The
Committee has made similar requests for the past three years, which the Regents have approved.
POLICY ISSUES:
This action complements the State Regents’ policy to reward outstanding student achievement and to
provide access to higher education for a diverse population of students.
ANALYSIS:
The scholarships are a one-time award and nonrenewable. The scholarships may only be used at an
institution of higher education in Oklahoma. The $3,000 would be allocated from the Scholarship
Reserve Fund (606/710-26120), which consists of residual private donations for scholarship programs
that have now expired.
The Committee reports that the State Regents’ commitment of three scholarships in the past three years
led to an equal commitment from the State Department of Career Technology as well as three additional
scholarships funded from private sources. The Committee also reports that the visibility of the
scholarships has helped raise the expectations of students with disabilities and has encouraged the U.S.
Department of Labor to continue funding for the high school program in which these students participate.

Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
AGENDA ITEM #24-i (1):
Contract.
SUBJECT:
FY 2007 agreement with the Oklahoma Board of Career and Technology Education.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve the agreement with the
Oklahoma Board of Career and Technology Education for FY 2007.
BACKGROUND:
For the past several years, the State Regents have entered into an annual agreement with the State Board
of Career and Technology Education whereby certain State System institutions carry out programs and
services of a technical education nature utilizing funds provided by the Department of Career and
Technology Education.
POLICY ISSUES:
State law (70 O.S. 1991, Section 2264) provides for the State Board of Career and Technology Education
(formerly Oklahoma Board of Vocational and Technical Education) to contract with the State Regents for
the administration of the amount of funds set aside for supplementing the funding of postsecondary
programs. The State Regents assume responsibility for allocation of the funds.
ANALYSIS:
The attached contract provides for the transfer of approximately $2 million in state and federal funding
from the Oklahoma State Board of Career and Technology Education to the Oklahoma State Regents for
Higher Education in exchange for services. The services provided by Oklahoma colleges and universities
relate to the operation of Tech Prep programs, Carl D. Perkins programs, teacher inservice and
professional development for CareerTech teachers, and data/information services.

Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
Contract.
SUBJECT:
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Tinker Air Force Base and the
Oklahoma City Aviation/Aerospace Education Alliance.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve the Memorandum of
Understanding between Tinker Air Force Base and the Oklahoma City
Aviation/Aerospace Education Alliance.
BACKGROUND:
In 1991, system wide program evaluation was viewed as one of several significant components in the
State Regents’ program for Academic Excellence and Efficiency. In addition to teacher education and
business, aviation/aerospace education was also included by the State Regents for purposes of conducting
a system wide program examination. The State Regents assembled a team of nine internationally
recognized experts in aviation/aerospace education to complete the examination.
At the January 1994 State Regents meeting, a member of the aviation/aerospace team presented the team
findings in the form of a report. Overall, the aviation/aerospace team found some very solid programs
administered and taught by a cadre of highly skilled professionals who share a love for aviation and the
new challenges presented by space exploration. However, there is much work yet to be accomplished so
that the system can timely deliver programs that fully meet students’ needs, interface with worldwide
industry standards, and articulate with each other to create a “seamless garment” in terms of overall
program integrity.
POLICY ISSUES:
This action is consistent with State Regents commitment to the enhancement of educational opportunities
for citizens in the state.
ANALYSIS:
A number of improvements were made in aviation/aerospace programs offered by state system
institutions as a result of the aviation/aerospace team’s recommendations.
In particular, an
Aviation/Aerospace Educational Alliance was formed. The Alliance consisted of a confederation of
public education institutions serving the Oklahoma City metropolitan area involved in the delivery of
training and academic degree programs in the field of aviation and aerospace. The Alliance consists of
agreements among its member institutions related to training, academic degrees, and research programs,
resource sharing, and cooperative student services programs.
209
In 1997, the Alliance responded to a Request for Proposal (RFP) by Tinker Air Force Base to offer
aviation/aerospace courses and programs to Tinker personnel. The Alliance was the competition and has
been offering aviation/aerospace courses and programs to Tinker personnel ever since.
Given the importance of Tinker Air Force Base to Oklahoma’s economy and as a way to continue to meet
and respond to the educational needs of Tinker’s employees, the Oklahoma City Aviation Educational
Alliance will continue to deliver high quality educational courses and programs on the base.

Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
Contract.
SUBJECT:
Approval of extension of contract with collection agencies.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve a one-year extension of the
contracts with OSI Education Services, Inc., VanRu Credit Corporation and
Zwicker & Associates, P.C, through September 30, 2007.
BACKGROUND:
The Oklahoma Guaranteed Student Loan program principal activity is guaranteeing student loans through
the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFELP). Although OGSLP is also charged with developing
and operating programs to prevent and remedy defaults by borrowers, a significant source of operating
revenue for the division is collections on defaulted loans. In the past fiscal year, the division collected
$13.9 million on a cash basis, representing 84 percent of total revenue. The division typically outsources
approximately 45-50 percent of the most challenging loans, retaining the most promising to attempt to
collect directly from the borrower. Expenses for collection agencies totaled $2.6 million in FY06.
POLICY ISSUES:
ANALYSIS:
Several temporary factors that could potentially reduce revenue lead to the recommendation to extend
contract for an additional year.
1. Federal legislation enacted in the past year may affect the realization of budgeted revenue during
the 2007 fiscal year.
2. The current OGSLP collections agency contracts’ terms are more favorable that those negotiated
recently by other guarantors with their contractors.
3. The pending operations and performance review scheduled for September through December will
evaluate OGSLP’s current outsourcing strategies and contracts.
In anticipation of changes in federal legislation, the division’s strategy has shifted in the past two years
from consolidated loan collections to targeting collections of rehabilitation loans, as the amount that may
be retained from this loan class is significantly larger. Moreover, as of July 1 of this year, the number of
on-time borrower payments required to qualify a loan for the rehabilitation category was reduced to 9
from 12, further enhancing the revenue potential for this category. The following table shows the
composition of the collections portfolio by type of loan for the current and previous year. Consolidated
loans currently make up over half the portfolio, and the federal legislation reduces the amount retained by
OGSLP to 10 percent from 18.5 percent, beginning October 1. The current contracts with collection
211
agencies permit a corresponding reduction in the collections retained by the collection agencies, from a
current range of 6 to 9.85 percent to a range of 3.24 to 5.32 percent after October 1.

An additional provision of the Higher Education Reconciliation Act (HERA) will affect further the most
advantageous mix of the loan portfolio by specifying that effective October 1, 2009, guarantors will
operate under a 45 percent limit on the amount of consolidations as a percentage of collections.
As noted above, current collection agency contracts have favorable terms that will accommodate the
changes in federal legislation. The division has been able to reduce the percentage payments to the
contractors on consolidated collections after October 1 in response to the mandated percentage change in
retention of consolidated loans collections to 10 percent. Division management also has anecdotal
information on recent collection agency bids received by guarantors in other states that indicate higher
rates than those in OGSLP’s current contracts.
212
Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
Contract.
SUBJECT:
Approval of contract for Oklahoma Guaranteed Student Loan Program operations and
performance review.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve the attached contract with Mr.
Edward Pollack for an operations and performance review of the Oklahoma
Guaranteed Student Loan Program.
BACKGROUND:
In light of significant changes in legislation regarding the Federal Family Education Loan Program
(FFELP), staff recommended an external operations and performance review of the Oklahoma guaranty
agency activities. Mr. Edward Pollack will focus on governance, management and business practices,
staffing and operations with a goal of identifying enhanced revenue opportunities and cost savings. His
experience includes management in the private sector, a major university and the nation’s largest
guarantor and guarantor servicer, with particular expertise in operations and technology. Most recently he
has provided consulting services to the State of New York’s loan and grant agency. The contract amount
is $125,000, and the completion date is December 31, 2006.
POLICY ISSUES:
The recommended action is consistent with the State Regents’ purchasing policy, which requires State
Regents’ approval of purchases in excess of $100,000.
213

Audit.
SUBJECT:
Acceptance of Program Specific Audit of Cimarron Broadband Project, Inc., Year
Ended June 30, 2006.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents accept the Program Specific Audit of
Cimarron Broadband Project, Inc. for the Year Ended June 30, 2006.
ANALYSIS:
On April 18, 2002, the State Regents entered into an agreement with Cimarron Broadband Project, Inc. to
administer specific congressionally authorized grants. In June 2006, the State Regents, along with
Cimarron Broadband Project, Inc. entered into a joint engagement for a Program Specific Audit of
Cimarron Broadband Project, Inc. The audit was completed by Stanfield & Odell, PC. The following
report is included with this item:
Independent Auditor’s Report on Financial Statement for Cimarron
Broadband Project, Inc. in accordance with the Program-Specific Audit
Option, including Compliance Reports required under OMB Circular A133, a Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs, and Management’s
Summary of Prior Year Audit Findings.
The Compliance Reports required by the Federal Office of Management and Budget under OMB Circular
A-133 relate only to programs funded by the federal government. These reports focus on internal control
and compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, grants, and contracts applicable to the federal
programs. The auditor’s report is an unqualified report. There were no findings or questioned costs for
the current year and the report notes that all prior year findings have been adequately addressed.
It is recommended that the State Regents accept the Program Specific Audit of Cimarron Broadband
Project, Inc. for the Year Ended June 30, 2006.

AGENDA ITEM #24-k (1):
EPSCoR.
SUBJECT:
Allocation of funds.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve an allocation in the amount of
$35,000 to the University of Central Oklahoma for the seventh annual Regional
Universities’ Research Day.
BACKGROUND:
The University of Central Oklahoma is once again hosting a day-long poster display and symposium for
undergraduate students. The State Regents’ support enables students to attend without a cost. An
estimated 250 students from the regional universities will participate.
POLICY ISSUES:
The recommendation is consistent with State Regents’ policy and actions.
ANALYSIS:
The University of Central Oklahoma requests $35,000 in support for the seventh annual research
exposition and symposium. This support provides display boards, flyers, program, expenses for speakers
and judges and other meeting expenses. The State Regents along with several additional sponsors have
agreed to host this annual event.

Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
EPSCoR.
SUBJECT:
Approval of Matching Funds for NASA.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve EPSCoR matching funds in the
amount of $63,000 to the University of Oklahoma for a one-year NASA project.
BACKGROUND:
Seven federal agencies have EPSCoR or similar programs to encourage the development of competitive
sponsored research in states that have historically had little federally sponsored research. The federal
agencies are the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Environmental
Protection Agency, the Department of Energy, the Department of Defense, the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, and the United States Department of Agriculture. Oklahoma is one of 26 states
that participate in a program at one or more federal agencies.
For FY 2006, the State Regents approved an allocation of $2,699,647 for Oklahoma EPSCoR projects.
POLICY ISSUES:
This recommendation is consistent with State Regents’ policy and actions.
ANALYSIS:
The NASA EPSCoR Program in Oklahoma encompasses researchers from both the research and regional
universities. The grant funds two scientific projects in Oklahoma under the auspices of the grant, one on
battery power and one on water storage. Oklahoma received a one-year continuation beyond the scope of
the original five-year grant. The recommended allocation is for year six in the amount of $63,000. The
University of Oklahoma will contribute $62,000 for the one-year award.
229
230
Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
EPSCoR.
SUBJECT:
Approval of Contract and Allocation of Matching Funds.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve: 1) the August 2007 through July
2008 agreement with Oklahoma State University to serve as the fiscal agent for the
National Science Foundation EPSCoR Research Infrastructure Improvement Plan
and 2) an allocation of $1 million for this program.
BACKGROUND:
In 2005, the National Science Foundation notified the Oklahoma EPSCoR Committee that the three-year
Research Infrastructure Improvement Plan proposal had been approved for funding. By law, the
Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education act as the funding agent for state matching funds and
support the EPSCoR programs through the Research Matching Fund. The EPSCoR allocation of $1
million for FY08/FY09 funds the third and final year of the award.
Past NSF EPSCoR awards to Oklahoma not only supported individual investigators, but established
research collaborations and programs that transcend individual campuses and institutions to build
statewide interinstitutional Science and Technology Centers in biotechnology, materials science and
environmental research. These centers bring together existing individual and group research strengths in
the state and provide the critical mass of researchers and facilities to achieve competitiveness with firstrank programs.
The current award continues infrastructure improvements for the Science and Technology centers,
encourages the success of minorities and women as professionals in science and engineering and
establishes advisory committees to promote university-private sector partnerships.
Other areas of special focus include:
•
the creation of a stable base of R&D funding for Oklahoma higher education;
•
the recruitment and retention of high quality science and engineering faculty;
•
enhancement of the public visibility of the state's research and graduate programs; and
•
establishment of a uniform database of quantitative indicators of activity and progress to assess its
impact upon the state's R&D competitiveness.
POLICY ISSUES:
This section is consistent with State Regents’ policy and actions.
231
ANALYSIS:
The current NSF EPSCoR Award (Research Infrastructure Improvement Plan) focuses on two scientific
areas, nanotechnology and plant virology. The nanotechnology theme will emphasize fuel cells and the
interface between nanotechnology and biomaterials. The second theme will connect plant virus
biodiversity to ecology utilizing the genomics infrastructure developed through the last three years and
will use the Tallgrass Prairie as a sample collection. Institutions participating in the grant are Oklahoma
State University, the University of Oklahoma Norman and Health Sciences Center campuses, the Sam
Noble Research Foundation, and The University of Tulsa.
At their April 2006 Regents’ meeting, the Regents approved matching funds or year two of this three-year
award. Year three of the award has now been forward-funded by the National Science Foundation;
therefore, year three matching funds are being requested. Funds are available from the FY07 allocation of
$2,699,647 approved at the Regents’ meeting of June 23, 2006.
The attached agreement formalizes Oklahoma State University's role as the fiscal agent for year three of
the award.
232

Meeting of the
September 14, 2006
EPSCoR.
SUBJECT:
Appointment of two members to the Oklahoma EPSCoR Advisory Committee.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents approve the appointment of individuals to
the EPSCoR Advisory Committee.
BACKGROUND:
The State Regents have currently eight standing advisory committees to the Chancellor, of which two are
created by statute and the others established by State Regents’ action. 70 O.S. 2001, §3230.1 et seq.
establishes the EPSCoR Committee as an advisory committee to the State Regents. The Student
Advisory Board is the other statutory committee.
The purpose of the EPSCoR committee is to promote cooperative research efforts among public and
private universities in Oklahoma; promote private sector involvement in university research and
encourage technology transfer; promote human resource development in science and engineering within
the Oklahoma State System of Higher Education; recommend research projects when only a limited
number may be submitted by the State of Oklahoma; and appoint the EPSCoR director.
The statutes provide that the Regents shall appoint members of the EPSCoR Advisory Committee to
include: 1) representatives of the state’s universities and colleges; 2) representatives of private research
entities located in Oklahoma; 3) representatives of private businesses; 4) residents of Oklahoma whose
contribution will enhance the goals of the Committee; and 5) a representative of the Oklahoma Center for
the Advancement of Science and Technology. Additional committee members are to be appointed by the
Governor, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Seven federal agencies have EPSCoR or similar programs to encourage the development of competitive
sponsored research in states that have historically had little federally sponsored research. The federal
agencies are the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Environmental
Protection Agency, the Department of Energy, the Department of Defense, the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, and the United States Department of Agriculture. Oklahoma is one of 27 states
that participate in a program at one or more federal agencies.
POLICY ISSUES:
None.
ANALYSIS:
Interim Chancellor Moss recommends that two members be approved for an appointment to the EPSCoR
Advisory Committee for the term indicated below.
235
Current membership includes two members of the private sector, a representative of the Noble
Foundation, the Vice Presidents for Research of the University of Oklahoma Norman, Oklahoma State
University, the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and the Oklahoma Medical Research
Foundation, the President of the University of Oklahoma – Tulsa, the President of Cameron University,
the President of Comanche College, the Executive Director of OCAST, an Associate Professor from
Langston University, two scientists from the University of Tulsa, and the CEO and President of
Innovation to Enterprise (i2E).

AGENDA ITEM #25-b (1):
Annual Reports.
SUBJECT:
Degrees Conferred in Oklahoma Higher Education 2004-05.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the State Regents accept this report.
BACKGROUND:
•
During the 2004-05 academic year, Oklahoma public higher education institutions conferred a total of
28,769 certificates and degrees. Compared to 2003-04, the number of degrees conferred increased
4.2 percent from 27,607. An accurate comparison of the number of degrees conferred at private
institutions is not possible because not all private institutions reported or verified their data in both
years.

The number of bachelor’s degrees conferred per person in Oklahoma increased 4.0 times from 194142 to 2004-05, from one in 973 to one in 242. The number of master’s degrees awarded per person
increased 14.6 times, from one in 12,038 to one in 826. The number of doctoral degrees conferred per
person increased 74.1 times, from one in 738,333 to one in 9,966.
During the last 15 years from 1990-91 to 2004-05, the largest number of degrees conferred at public
institutions was bachelor's, followed by associate, master's, first-professional, and doctoral,
respectively.
The number of degrees conferred increased from 1990-91 to 2004-05 for the associate degree (from
5,409 to 8,155), for the bachelor’s degree (from 11,668 to 14,631), for first-professional degrees
(from 590 to 696), for master’s degrees (from 2,961 to 4,294), and for doctoral degrees (from 352 to
356).
257
POLICY ISSUES:
Article XIII-A of the Oklahoma Constitution states that the State Regents “shall grant degrees and other
forms of academic recognition for completion of the prescribed courses in all of such institutions.” This
report is a summary of degrees granted.
ANALYSIS:
• From 1990-91 to 1993-94, and from 1998-99 to 2004-05, the largest number of bachelor’s degrees
awarded at public institutions was in business and management followed by education. From 1994-95
to 1997-98, education had the largest number of bachelor’s degrees awarded. In 2004-05, the most
master’s degrees were awarded in business and management followed by education. Education
accounted for the most doctoral degrees conferred during the past 15 years.
•
From 1990-91 to 2004-05, the largest percentage of degrees was awarded to White students,
averaging 83.3 percent at the first-professional level, 79.9 percent at the associate level, 76.9 percent
at the bachelor’s level, 71.1 percent at the master’s level, and 66.1 percent at the doctoral level. In
2004-05, American Indians were second at the associate, bachelor’s, and first-professional levels.
Nonresident Aliens ranked second at the master's and doctoral levels.
•
Comparing 2004-05 to 2003-04 at public institutions, the number of degrees conferred increased for
master’s degrees for men; and certificates, associates, first-professional, and doctoral degree levels for
women; and bachelor’s degrees for men and women.
This report will be available on the State Regents’ website at www.okhighered.org under Studies and
Reports.

SUBJECT:
Preparing for College Mass Mailing.
RECOMMENDATION:
This item is for information only.
BACKGROUND:
In January 1999 the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education announced an aggressive plan to
increase the proportion of Oklahomans holding a bachelor’s degree from 20 to 28 percent by 2010 and the
proportion of associate degree holders from 5 to 10 percent. Called Brain Gain 2010: Building Oklahoma
Through Intellectual Power, the plan is designed to move Oklahoma from the bottom to the top one-third
of all states for its educational and economic performance. Regents are seeking to add more college
degree holders to the state’s population by focusing on three areas – increasing the proportion of
Oklahomans who earn a college degree, keeping more Oklahoma graduates in the state and attracting
college degree holders from outside the state.
Additionally, in 1997 the Citizens’ Commission on the Future of Oklahoma Higher Education
recommended that the State Regents expand efforts to explain the services Oklahoma higher education
offers to Oklahoma and Oklahomans and the benefits the state and its citizens receive from those services.
For the 14th consecutive year, the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, in a joint effort with the
Oklahoma Guaranteed Student Loan Program, undertook a mass mailing of publications designed to help
8th-12th grade students better prepare for college. Many of the materials include information that has been
specifically requested by 8th-12th grade counselors through annual surveys.
POLICY ISSUES:
This initiative is consistent with the Regents’ Brain Gain 2010 initiative and with recommendations made
by the Citizens' Commission on the Future of Oklahoma Higher Education in October 1997 to better
publicize higher education services and benefits.
267
ANALYSIS:
In past years, the mass mailing was outsourced to temporary workers or to a mailing service. For the fifth
consecutive year, in order to distribute the materials in a timely and cost-effective manner, the mailing
was handled in-house by the following staff volunteers:
Veronica Alarcon
Harve Allen
Candice Amey
Cindy Brown
Amber Coulter
Matt Higdon
Risa Johnson
Cari Lousch
Christie Jones
Kermit McMurry
Lekita Diamond
Amy Goddard
Ben Hardcastle
Alicia Harris
Pam Hicks
Karla Rodriguez
Melissa Ryburn
Doug Stimpson
Rebecca Stokes
Several other staff members assisted with other aspects of the mailing, including printing, procurement of
supplies, room setup/cleanup and distribution.

The following publications were distributed to head counselors at Oklahoma junior high and high schools
in August 2006.
8th-10th Graders…It’s Time to Design Your Plan for College, Oklahoma’s Official Guide to
Preparing for College
High School Juniors & Seniors…It’s Time to Design Your Plan for College, Oklahoma’s Official
Guide to Preparing for College
More than 230,000 brochures on preparing for college were distributed to head counselors at Oklahoma
public and State Department of Education-accredited private schools for distribution to each 8th-12th grade
student in their schools. This is the fourth year that separate, grade-specific brochures were produced.
More than 146,000 brochures focusing on early academic and financial planning for college were
distributed to 8th-10th grades, and nearly 84,000 brochures focusing on academic requirements and
financial aid were sent to 11th-12th grades. The brochures were also sent to home school organizations and
to libraries statewide. Online versions of both brochures are also available on the Student Center Web
site. The brochures are designed to inform students of the courses they must take in high school to be
admitted to an Oklahoma state college or university. They also detail admission standards, placement
score and financial aid information. In addition, they encourage students to call the State Regents' toll-free
hotline number or visit the Student Center Web site for additional information. The brochures also feature
a map of Oklahoma public colleges and universities with phone numbers and Web site addresses, as well
as estimated college costs, salary comparisons and a glossary of college-related terms. This is the 14th
year these brochures have been produced.
The Official Guide to Oklahoma’s Colleges and Universities
Approximately 500 guides were distributed to counselors at public and private high schools and to home
school organizations in Oklahoma. One guide was sent to each Oklahoma high school with 12th-grade
students. Copies were also sent to libraries statewide. The guides are three-hole punched so that the
information can be easily duplicated. Students, counselors, parents and others are also encouraged to
access the online version of the guide on the Student Center Web site. The guide provides a short profile
on each college and university in Oklahoma and includes information on preparing for college, concurrent
268
enrollment, transfer, college costs and financial aid. In addition, it provides a glossary of college-related
terms, publicizes the State Regents' toll-free Student Information Hotline number and the Student Center
Web site, and includes a section on helpful Web sites. For the fourth year, a section for international
students is included with information on English language requirements, costs, Oklahoma weather and
culture, student populations and more. Also, for the first time, the publication is being provided on CDROM. The guide is produced by the Communicators Council in coordination with the Council on Student
Affairs. This is the 11th year that the guide has been produced.
Are You Looking for Money?
Approximately 500 copies of the improved “Are You Looking for Money?” publication were distributed
to counselors at public and private high schools and to home school organizations and libraries in
Oklahoma. The booklet is designed to be a “one-stop” reference guide of information about student loans
and, for the second year, combined three previous brochures – Money Talk, The Guide to Student Loans
and Are You Looking for Money? – into one publication. Each Oklahoma high school with 12th-grade
students received one copy of the booklet plus a separately designed black and white version for
photocopying. The booklet provides information on Federal Stafford and PLUS loans, including the
application process, borrowing limits, interest rates, repayment, a glossary and financial aid checklists for
juniors and seniors. The booklet is also available online on the Student Center Web site.
Oklahoma College Savings Plan flyer
Approximately 500 flyers were distributed to counselors at public and private high schools, home school
organizations, and libraries in Oklahoma. One flyer, suitable for photocopying, was sent to each
Oklahoma high school with 12th-grade students. The flyer provides information on the program, a smart,
flexible way for families to save for their children’s futures. The flyer will also be available online on the
Student Center Web site.
