Ratner, Alex Shumate, Linda S. Kass, Janet B. Reid, William G. Jurgensen, Timothy P. Smucker, Cheryl L. Krueger, Michael J. Gasser, Brent R. Porteus, Alex R. Fischer, Abigail S. Wexner, Stacie E. Seger, Steven M. Loborec, G. Gilbert Cloyd, and Corbett A. Price. Dr. Wadsworth: Good morning everybody. We are going to start the trustee meeting so I’ll ask for order in the house. Thank you all very much. I’d like to reconvene the meeting of the Board of Trustees and ask the secretary to note the attendance. Dr. Thompson: A quorum is present, Mr. Chairman. 438 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 Dr. Wadsworth: Excellent. So that we are able to conduct the business of this meeting in an orderly fashion, I’ll ask that all ringers on all cell phones be turned off. I am doing mine as we speak because one time I gave the announcement and left mine on, very embarrassing. I would ask that all members of the audience observe rules of decorum proper to conducting the business at hand. Now this part of the meeting is a favorite of all of the trustees because it’s a moment when we get to recognize exceptional students. I am going to ask Steve Loborec to present the Student Recognition Awards. Steve. Dr. Loborec: Thank you Chairman Wadsworth. I’d like to at this time ask Chloe and Julianna to join us here at the table. Chloe and Julianna are the two students that we are recognizing today for the Board of Trustees Student Recognition Award. I would like to start off by talking about Chloe Greene and her achievements during her time here at Ohio State. Chloe Greene graduated from Fort Walton Beach High School in Fort Walton Beach, Florida and is currently a dual-master’s degree student enrolled in City and Regional Planning and African and African-American Studies. During her time at OSU, she has had a huge impact on the Knowlton School of Architecture’s attention to issues of social justice and diversity. In her first year, she spearheaded the creation of a now annual program of the City and Regional Planning Student Association called Social Justice Week. Prior to this time, the Knowlton School had no student-led programming that explicitly addressed issues of social justice and how they intersect with the planning field. Social Justice Week educates students and faculty over four days. It begins with a speaker of a national profile who works on topics of social justice, followed by a panel of professionals who work on issues of social justice, discussing how their work intersects with planning as a profession. The third evening is a poetry slam, and the last event is either a volunteer experience or a trip to a city to learn how that city is addressing issues of equity. Social Justice Week raises the profile of equity planning within the Knowlton School. Chloe’s leadership is recognized by her peers and she was elected to serve as president of the City and Regional Planning Student Association for the 2014-2015 academic year. Chloe embodies the leadership the College of Engineering hopes to instill in their students along with the vision to create change. After graduation next May, she plans to remain committed to her business, Project Bronze, which is an organization designed to foster economic empowerment through cooperative development. Best of luck to you, Chloe. Congratulations. Ms. Greene: First, I would like to thank God, I think that is very important, and then the Board of Trustees for selecting me for this prestigious award. Although my parents aren’t here with me today, they live in South Carolina and my Dad is recovering from a surgery, I would also like to thank them because they raised me and I wouldn’t be able to do the things that I have been able to accomplish without their continued support. 439 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 Steve said that I could talk about a favorite memory that I’ve had at OSU. I couldn’t really pick a particular one but I would like to talk about a moment that I had at OSU that I think really shaped my experiences here. Last year was my first year here at the university and I recall attending the MLK (Martin Luther King) day celebrations. I called my parents and was very emotional and for people that know me that’s common. I expressed to them that it was a beautiful ceremony and that Donna Brazile said lovely things, there was singing, and it was a great celebration. I was crying and they were like “Oh my goodness Chloe what is wrong with you?” I said, “No, I’m happy because for the first time in my scholarly pursuits, I am at a place that recognizes that I too exist and that I too am important and that allowed me the freedom to flourish in a way that I didn’t feel like I had at other places.” That’s why I think I’ve been able to accomplish the things that I’ve accomplished and I thank you for that, and I thank the university for that. Again, I would just like to say thank you for honoring me with this award. I am emotional now. Dr. Loborec: That was great, thank you. Our next student is Julianna Nemeth. She’s in her final year of her PhD program within the Health Behavior and Health Promotion Division in the College of Public Health. She previously attended high school at Upper Arlington, earned a bachelor’s degree in Religion and a Master’s degree in Women’s Studies. Her dissertation project uses a social contextual model to examine factors surrounding gender-based violence and risky behaviors, such as tobacco use. Her background and clinical experience in women’s health was instrumental to enhancing the examination of social factors such as intimate partner violence. In addition, she has devoted time to conceptually and methodologically refine instruments to measure various dimensions of violence. Her dissertation defense will be held later today, and at least three manuscripts will be ready for submission to public health journals. This is quite the day for you. Most notably, her article published in the Journal of Women’s Health was the number one most downloaded article in 2014. Julianna also actively participates in several collaborative efforts, including the Center for Population Health and Health Disparities in the OSU Comprehensive Cancer Center, the OSU Center for Regulatory Tobacco Science, and a research residency in the former Department of Human Development and Family Studies. She maintains relationships with the Ohio Department of Health, the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, the Ohio Domestic Violence Network, and the Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence. She is currently searching for a post-doctoral position in the Columbus area that will allow her to establish an independent research career. Congratulations Julianna, and best of luck on your defense! Ms. Nemeth: Thank you. It is humbling to be selected to receive the OSU Board of Trustees Student Recognition Award. Thank you for bestowing such a high honor on me. First, I want to thank my parents, Mary and Julius Nemeth, who always fostered my love for learning in pursuit of a higher good. Next, I want to thank my husband, Aaron Sailing who has been a source of unending support, not just through my academic studies, but also as I pursued my passion through community work in working to prevent and helping to advocate for the needs of sexual and intimate partner survivors in the great state of Ohio. I would be remised to mention the inspiration my children have been to me as well; Emerson, Jonas, and Ashton inspire me to be best example I can be for them. Finally, I wanted to thank Mary Ellen Wewers. She has served not only as my academic advisor and mentor, but she is the embodiment of what I aspire to be, a wise, compassionate, and highly collaborative research scholar. 440 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 Within the first few weeks of returning to school and beginning as a mid-life GRA, I am one of four research projects stemming from a federally funded cervical cancer disparity study, I brought forth evidence to show the link between gender-based violence and cervical cancer. Due to her generosity, I was able to place a module of trauma exposure questions on one of her studies and Mary Ellen is, as many of you might be aware, a renowned scholar in tobacco control. Although I might imagine that it would have been a stretch to collaborate with a graduate student focused on gender based violence, she welcomed and was very supportive of the cross topic collaboration and we both have been enriched by her generosity. Only later did I learn that I could use the data from the study for my dissertation which focuses on gender-based violence and smoking among women in Ohio Appalachia. Findings from our analysis reveal that 57% of women living in Ohio Appalachia are targeted for gender-based sexual and intimate partner violence in their life with 34% experiencing sexual abuse. These numbers are alarmingly high and in a part of the state where victim advocacy programs are sparse and where health disparities abound. In addition, slightly over three in four current women smokers in Ohio Appalachia report sexual and intimate partner violence exposure at some point in their life. I do believe these findings will help spark several trajectories of research that will eventually work to help to eliminate the health disparities that gender-based violence survivors currently endure. I feel most fortunate to have had the opportunity to work for and with Mary Ellen Wewers. It is through these experiences that I have come to believe it is only through diverse epistemic communities comprised of individuals with situated life experiences as well as multidisciplinary methodological skillsets that we are going to be able to ask the type of questions and conduct socially relevant research which elucidate and ultimately dismantle the social hierarchies and result in adverse health exposures experienced by vulnerable populations, the fundamental determinants of population health disparities. Diversity, in particular diverse epistemic communities in higher education, shouldn’t just be a goal but an imperative. It is the only way within academia that we have begun to dismantle hierarchical structuring, as Audrey Lord has so eloquently stated, “the master’s house”. Thank you as well to the Ohio State University for bringing focus to the issue of sexual and dating violence among students on campus. Please let me be of assistance in whatever way I can to thoughtfully work through addressing the issue on campus. I care deeply about both the university and the issue. I am currently looking for a postdoc position which will allow me to stay local so I should be around for the foreseeable future. Thank you again to the Board of Trustees for granting me the Student Recognition Award. I am honored to accept it. Dr. Wadsworth: Let’s take a moment to again congratulate those two students. Now before we move to today’s business, the board would like to recognize another group of students, the members of BuckeyeThon. While we know we cannot fit all students who participate in that in this room, because there is 4,000 of them, it was very important to us to celebrate this year’s success by inviting a few members to today’s meeting. For those of you that aren’t aware, BuckeyeThon is the largest student-run philanthropy at Ohio State. With an ultimate goal of ending childhood cancer, they work to raise money to support the children treated at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Nationwide Children's is Columbus, Ohio's “Children's Miracle Network Hospital” and will treat any child regardless of a family's ability to pay, which is a spectacular thing to do. 441 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 BuckeyeThon hosts events and activities throughout the year to raise money “For the Kids”. Its largest event is the annual BuckeyeThon Dance Marathon which brings together thousands in the Ohio Union for an entire evening of dancing. This year in February, they had a record breaking fundraising campaign where they raised over $1.2 million dollars. Having fun as well, right? What a great thing to do. I think we’re going to show a video and then we will invite a few leaders to the table to make some brief remarks. Video Dr. Wadsworth: Wow. That’s fantastic. Two of BuckeyeThon’s students and the organization advisor, Jim O’Brian will speak to us. Will you come to the table? Thank you for everything you have done. I can’t imagine a better statement about the values of the student body than to raise that kind of money through volunteerism in your time. Mr. O’Brian: First I’d like to start off and say thank you to the board for having us here. This is an incredible opportunity to come and tell you about what we are so passionate about doing here at Ohio State and in the Columbus community. My name is Jim O’Brian. I have had the privilege of serving as the president of this great organization this past year and along with my 170 members of this organization, student leaders here at Ohio State, we work towards raising money for Nationwide Children’s Hospital, specifically the hematology and oncology department. BuckeyeThon is part of a larger movement across the nation led by Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals called the Dance Marathon movement that is over 150 colleges and universities across this nation. I would be really remissed to not acknowledge the great work and dedication of some of the great advisors and leaders that we have had help us along the way. First off, our advisor Felix Alonso is sitting here to my far right. He has really been the champion for this organization, really supporting the students as they want to, and are following their dreams and their passions to help this community. As well, Dr. J, who has been an incredible support for all of us as we are an official program under the Office of Student Life. She has been a strong advocate for us whenever we need something in order to further our initiatives that way. Like we said, this year has been an incredible year for us. We broke records in almost every category and pushed ourselves to limits that we didn’t know that we could reach. We set a goal of registering 4,750 dancers and we blew that out of the water by registering over 5,100 students to participate in this year’s dance marathon. As you saw also we raised $1.23 million for the children battling cancer at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. It has been a tremendous year for us and we are thankful for all the support that we have been given here at Ohio State. Thank you for creating this great opportunity for us to grow and develop as leaders and advocates for citizens in the Columbus community as a whole. To my right here is Vick Chaba. He will be taking over the helm for next year and is already getting things planned and organized for this next year and is well on his way to another record breaking year. 442 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 Dr. Wadsworth: No pressure. Mr. O’Brian: Right. Thank you very much. Dr. Wadsworth: Let me just say, I don’t know if Michael wants to say something as well but to me, this is the spirit of the university. It is the values we all care about. It’s what we’re all about. Alex. Mr. Fischer: As the chair of Nationwide Children’s Hospital, I know Abigail joins me as well, to put it into context, this has become the largest annual fundraiser at the hospital by student leaders in our community who are doing more than adult leaders in our community. I think that helps to put the magnitude of this effort into perspective. This has quickly, over the last several years, grown from being a $200,000 fundraiser, where is was several years ago, to now being over a million dollars. Absolutely inspirational impact in leadership, which to me is the embodiment of everything that is inspirational about The Ohio State University and the town gown relationship that exists. Nationwide is the academic medical partner for children in our community with the Ohio State University and is a symbol that we are one and this activity with the students is an embodiment of that. Dr. Wadsworth: Great and I corrected my notes, I went from 4,000 to 5,100 and $1.2 million to $1.23 million. I got it recorded. Thank you very much. Let’s give them a round of applause again. We will now turn to our agenda. The first order of business is the minutes of the January meeting of the Board of Trustees which were distributed to all members of the board. If there are no additions or corrections, the minutes are approved as distributed. Looking around the table, seeing none. Mr. President, we will now turn to your report. Thank you. President Drake: Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I can’t think of a better way to start of the morning than by having a chance to acknowledge our students and the great work they are doing. The BuckeyeThon, in particular, was a special event. As was mentioned, there were about 5,100 students who participated and danced all night. I remember that there was also a tiger that didn’t make it through the night but the students did. It is a great event and reflects several things. One, as the chair of Nationwide Children’s Hospital was saying, this is a great connection between the university and the community. We are seamless partners in this work. Second, our students come here for academic and research excellence, but also for character and leadership excellence development. They grow into the full leaders and citizens that take our communities forward. Activities like BuckeyeThon provide opportunities for students to learn over time how to work with others, how to organize teams, how to mobilize people to do good for others. They do a wonderful job of this. Jim, who I believe is going into medical school, got a chance to be 443 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 a real leader in our community and do things that make a difference for the children at the hospital. There are many things that are inspiring during this event. During the evening before the event, the heros and survivors were brought forward. It is a magnificent moment for them and their families. To see the enthusiasm that our students display during this event on behalf of others is inspiring. Congratulations on that great work and we are looking for at least $1.24 million next year. No pressure. It also reminds us of the transformative nature of philanthropy. Nationwide Children’s Hospital is one of the most successful children’s hospital than anywhere in the world. This extra focus allows us to do even more to address things that are critically important. We have had several things that have happened and it has been a busy few months since we last met in January. Last month, I had the chance to attend the award ceremony for the 20th annual Denman Undergraduate Research Forum. More than 500 students presented their research. I mentioned academic research and character and leadership; this focused on the research part of the experience. They were focused on issues across the entire spectrum of what we do within the university; biomedical science in some cases and climate change in others, research in humanities, and research in social sciences. It was great to see the creative ideas coming forth from our students and their mentors. March was also a great month for us in sports. We won the national championship in wrestling. It was our first national championship in wrestling in 94 years. Go Bucks! We won the national championship in synchronized swimming. It was our 29th national championship in synchronized swimming. Go Bucks! Twenty-nine is the most by any team in any sport at any university in the history of the country. It is the dominant program and they really are outstanding. We also won our third national championship in pistol. I had mixed feelings because the pistol team beat West Point Naval Academy. I want to make sure that my loyalty is properly focused. I am Buckeye all the way. It was a great competition. The military academy has routinely won this award. We have been able to break that by having an outstanding group of young men and women. Note, the only competition on the target range is done this way. Last night, Brenda hosted the national championship pistol team for a celebratory dinner at the Pizzuti house. I had the chance, after our board meeting, to say hello to them and to congratulate them. I also want to take a moment to give kudos to our donors and friends. Wednesday was “Thank a Donor Day,” and our Buckeye community reached out to thank donors for their generosity. We know that great things happen when Buckeyes give. On behalf of the university, I want to make sure that we thank our generous donors and friends everywhere. Thank all of you for the important work that you do in many ways over the years. Last week, I was humbled and honored to take part in my investiture. It was a privilege for me for several reasons. Personally, it was a privilege to be able to bring the family together. To have our grandchildren and their great-grandmother there was nice. It was like Christmas without all of the hoopla. It was nice to have them all around. It also gave me a chance to prepare remarks for thinking about the university and reflect on what an incredible opportunity this is for me, and all of us, to make a lasting difference. Again an example of that is BuckeyeThon. We have so many ways to reach out to people and try to do things to elevate their lives. 444 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 In preparing the talk, I had six to eight weeks of time to think about those things. I became more thrilled everyday with the opportunities that are before us. I was pleased to be able to share those things. One of the themes that I wanted to make sure to share was the importance of having affordable, accessible, and excellent educational opportunities available for the students of Ohio and beyond. We spoke a bit about that last week. We are going to have an affordability summit that will take place later on this summer. We will talk about these issues in great detail. I look forward to having many of you there. We identified carefully the opportunities that are in front of us. We believe that between now and 2020 we will be able to remove about $200 million in cost by using administrative efficiencies and cost avoidance. We will be able to save about $200 million that we will apply to excellence and affordability. Also, we will look to do what we can to generate $200 million more in revenue during this time and reinvest it in affordability on one side and excellence on the other. We have the potential to strengthen our sustainability efforts and provide new resources for our academic mission. Our faculty and staff do a great job of creating avenues for our students to learn. They also do creative research for our neighboring communities. We want to make sure that, as we are elevating our university and its impact, we support our faculty and staff in doing those things. Providing excellence is a crucial variable in this equation and it contributes directly to access and affordability. Efficient educational systems mean higher graduation rates, we have been moving in the right direction, and shorter time to degree. This is very important to us. The best way to do this is to have effective teaching and advising. On May 13th, we are convening a summit of about 50 of our best faculty to focus on two questions: what can the university do to improve teaching and learning, and how can our summer session and other things like on-line learning help our students graduate on time. When I talk to the faculty about teaching and learning, I never want it to sound like we are looking to improve teaching and learning because it isn’t already great. Teaching and learning here are among the best anyplace in the world. We are a best value university, rated by others based on the quality of our educational experience and the cost that it brings to the families. Last year, we were rated 15th in best value out of hundreds and hundreds of schools that were rated. This is a great thing for us to be able to celebrate but we always want to see if we can do a little bit better. We will bring our best teachers and scholars together and ask if we can do this as we wish, how we would work to improve what we are doing and to be the best in the world in teaching and the best value in the world to our students and their families. We are a global leader in outreach and research. We are a top producer of both Peace Corps members and Fulbright scholars. Our Discovery Themes are expanding our research on a global scale. As you heard from Provost Steinmetz, 93 new faculty have been authorized. At the board meeting in January, we recruited our first faculty member. At this time, we now have a total of 10 accepted offers in Discovery Themes. We are moving forward on filling those positions. Food security is something that is important to us. We know that 18% of adults and 22% of children in Franklin County are food insecure and do not necessarily know where they will get their next meal. We are investing to do our part to help provide food security for the people of Franklin County, central Ohio, Ohio, and the world. Currently, we have 50 faculty working on food security and we are investing $15 million more from the Discovery Themes to hire new faculty experts. Over the next decade, this will total an investment of about $100 million in food security. We are excited about this and are looking forward to doing things to improve the quality of the community for all. 445 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 Finally, we spoke about our opportunity to make Ohio State a model for inclusiveness and diversity. From our student community to the hiring and promotion of faculty and staff, diversity must be recognized and celebrated as a core strength. To achieve this, we are developing university-wide diversity training for search committees. I have charged the task force of individuals from across Ohio State to look broadly at diversity issues that affect students, faculty, and staff. I look forward to hearing their recommendations for how we can improve our inclusive excellence. We want to be celebrated for and want to perform in an outstanding and excellent way based on who we include. We don’t want excellence to come by who we exclude, but rather by who we include. We think that is the way we can move forward to be the best university we can. This is something where I think were we have different levels of competition. I don’t see why we can’t aspire to be the best in the world. This is our own behavior, our own policies, our own actions and I think we can set the highest standard in the world to make that our goal. There are many things that we are doing here that give us great success in the areas that I mentioned already. One that we had a chance to celebrate a few months ago was long-time faculty member and scientist Linda Saif who recently became the first woman to receive the prestigious Wolf Prize, joining the likes of Stephen Hawking. She will receive her award in May. Our Office of Student Life was named one of the 15 Most Promising Places to Work in Student Affairs. The study looked at workplace diversity, staffing practices, and work environment. Similarly, Forbes named our athletics department one of the 10 best organizations to work for in sports. It certainly is a great organization to work for is you want to win and be associated with national champions and outstanding people. We are really pleased and proud of that work. This is not in my prepared comments, but has come up a couple of times. I was talking with someone who is a national consultant on educational matters. In talking about our athletics department, I mentioned to him some of the things we have done during the past year that we think are innovative and important. One is that we have an incentive for our athletic director, Gene Smith, who is at the top rank of athletic directors nationally. His incentive package is based on the number of students who are employed after graduation in jobs that require a college degree or are in graduate school or are in the military. We don’t want to only focus on things that happens on the field, although they are important. We don’t want to only focus on our students graduating, although that too is very important. We want to also focus on making sure that they are prepared to be leaders in life as they leave the university. This is part of his contract and I think it is unique and the first step to show that we are interested in their pathway through life. This is something that we reward our leaders for. Gene is excited about this as well. Over the past nine months, I have spent a great deal of time getting to know Ohio State and identifying some of our challenges and opportunities, and have benefited from the friendship and wisdom of the people sitting around this table. Let me take a moment to thank all of you. This has been great. We do have a bitter sweet moment that will take place later on today where we will be thanking and saying goodbye to three of our board members who have been quite helpful and inspirational to us. Gil Cloyd, Ron Ratner, and student trustee Stacie Seger are all having their final board meeting today. We will have a moment to say a few things and look forward to sharing and hearing about their contributions. I will mention something about Stacie. We had a board dinner at our home last summer and she sat next to me. I was very impressed with the wisdom and thoughtfulness on the things you were sharing. I look forward to continuing to work with you. I was really impressed with 446 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 you and it has been reflected in you and so many other students who have done such great work. As we say goodbye to these exceptional members, we also welcome a new face. This is the first board meeting for Dr. Sheldon Retchin, the new CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of the Wexner Medical Center. It is nice to see you here. Dr. Retchin has all of the attributes we look for in someone who can lead one of the country’s preeminent research institutions. As Dr. Retchin takes the helm, I want to take a moment to acknowledge Dr. Steven Gabbe for the outstanding job he has done for this university over the past six years. Steve, at the Wexner Medical Center Board meeting a few days ago, we were talking about the quality and safety of the medical center being among the very best of any medical center in the country and the world. We talked about how successfully the medical center has been managed over the year; most successful year in our history. Those are two amazing things that very few places are able to celebrate in any one meeting; being the best in quality and safety and the management is at the top of the heap. As you leave, you leave one of the preeminent medical centers in the world in your wake. I want to thank you again for all of the hard work you have done for us. I mentioned this before. Steve and Pat are in our community and are working on infant mortality and trying to raise the bar for health. Even though Steve is changing roles, he is still a great contributor to our mission. Thanks again to you and Pat. Now, I would like to take a moment to remind everyone that ensuring a safe and healthy campus climate for all members of the university community is a top priority for us. Our students are being asked to complete a survey on sexual assault and sexual misconduct administered by the AAU (Association of American Universities). It is a national survey and the results will help us enhance support and service offerings for student is a variety of areas. This past year’s Undergraduate Student Government President, Celia Wright and many others have taken a national leadership role in this effort. They are raising awareness and fostering change in the university community. I am so proud of their efforts in this important conversation. I would like to take a quick survey and the audience can participate as well. Do you know a person, man or woman, who was a victim of a sexual assault during their time in college? This is not necessarily an official report that came to you but a colleague, a friend, or someone you know in your life who was a victim of a sexual assault while they were in college. Please raise your hand. I want to take a moment and look at how many hands are raised and what a common thing this is. It isn’t talked about much but it is incredible that each of us know someone who had this happen to them. It is great that our students are taking the lead in trying to push forward this conversation and to see what we can do to make it so that not so many hands will be raised a generation from now. I think it is very important. I also want to congratulate our newest crop of student government leaders. These two were kind to me and made it so that I didn’t have to remember two different names; I appreciate that. Abby Grossman and Abby Waidelich are the new presidents for USG (Undergraduate Student Government). Are the Abbys here? Yes, I see you both. We also have David Bowers, Karen Munnelly, Guyomar Pillai, and Roger Anderson with the Council of Graduate Students. Are any of them here today? Congratulations in your absence. And, Matt King, Kevin Donnelly, and Noor Abushagur are with the InterProfessional Council. Congratulations to this new slate of student leaders and I look forward to working with all of you over the years as we make important things happen. In the midst of all this wonderful news, we have unfortunately faced a difficult challenge in our community this past week. We had a recent arrest of a former staff member with 447 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 our child care program. This came to our attention about a month or so ago with law enforcement saying that they had information that was pertinent to our community. We assigned a team of university law enforcement and senior leaders to ensure that any potential victims on our campus would be identified and supported. I will say that we were heartbroken and outraged to hear this. Our commitment to the effected community is steadfast. We will do everything we can to support anyone who was affected by this. We have set up a website and an external group for those affected to be able to report this to the group without coming to university officials. We want to make sure their anonymity is protected. We will do everything we can to protect the victims and have cooperated with law enforcement to see that justice is done. Finally, as we turn our attention to the end of the academic year, I find myself eagerly awaiting my first spring commencement, which will be in a month. This will mark the fourth-consecutive spring that our graduating class has exceeded 10,000 people and their amazing achievements. They are in for a special treat. Buckeye number one is going to be the commencement speaker. It is a special time for Archie Griffin to be our commencement speaker. He is an outstanding member of our community; a real icon. He has a son who happens to be in the graduating class. This is also the 40th anniversary of Archie’s second Heisman Trophy. It is a great time for us to commemorate the incredible service that Archie has given to our community. Among the many things that Archie has brought to us, his incredible spirit and generosity, he really has been the embodiment of “paying forward”; doing things today that make the world a better place for people tomorrow. I am so excited and pleased that he accepted our invitation to be the speaker that day. That concludes my report Mr. Chairman. Thank you for your time. Dr. Wadsworth: Thank you President Drake. I am sure, along with everyone else, the breadth and complexity of the topics are immense. I thank you for your leadership. It is a very exciting time for us going forward on so many important things. I think we all have a great sense of optimism that we are in the right place with the right leadership. Thank you. At this time we will hear the committee reports. I will start by asking Mrs. Wexner to present her report on the Wexner Medical Center Board. Mrs. Wexner: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Wexner Medical Center Board met on Wednesday, April 8. We began with our first ever update from Dr. Retchin on the medical center initiatives scorecard. Again, we welcome Dr. Retchin and are thrilled that he is here. Overall we are very doing well. There are several areas that are trending in the right direction including day’s cash on hand, total operating revenue per adjusted admission, and our ranking in U.S. News and World Reports for best medical schools. While trending in the right direction, we will still continue to watch these metrics. There are a few areas that are currently tracking red that the board is monitoring closely, including overall patient satisfaction, NIH awards, and development dollars. Ms. Patty HillCallahan reported that, related to development dollars, there are several verbal commitments so we should see that metric move in the right direction in the near future. The board then heard a report from Mr. Geier on the medical center financials. We were pleased to hear that all but two metrics are coded as green. The two metrics tracking as 448 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 yellow are emergency department visits and adjusted admissions. It should be noted that the full emergency department opened this week. We will now see less diversion from our emergency department to others in the community and therefore we expect to see that metric start to trend in the right direction. Lastly, Dr. Chris Kaeding provided an update on the Sports Medicine Institute. The mission of the Sports Medicine Institute is to “improve people’s lives by enhancing physical activity across the life span”. Some of us are very encouraged to hear that this goes well into our later years. Dr. Kaeding spent some time reviewing the OSU model for sports medicine which is an integrated, multi-disciplinary, multi-mission program and includes physicians and researchers from a variety of disciplines. Sports Medicine is a broad program which touches not only the Department of Athletics, but also the Office of Student Life and six colleges including Medicine, Public Health, Veterinary Medicine, Engineering, Education and Human Ecology, and Arts and Sciences. Our sports medicine program has numerous partnerships in the community including BalletMet, a number of local school districts, and athletics programs outside of the university. Having an integrated, multidisciplinary, multi-mission program makes these partnerships possible. Dr. Kaeding ended his presentation with a video showing the first ever plastic meniscus implant in the United States; which took place here at The Ohio State Wexner Medical Center. This is an innovative and novel way to treat individuals who suffer from meniscus injuries and we are pleased that we are one of the sites in the FDA clinical trial evaluating this treatment. We then met in executive session. That concludes my report Mr. Chairman. Dr. Wadsworth: Thank you Mrs. Wexner. Are there any questions? I will make a brief comment. We were fortunate to have a guest speaker; the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Bob McDonald. I think we all learned a lot about that institution that we were not aware of, including, the very high ranking of The Ohio State University as number five. It was very enlightening. We were very pleased to hear that. If there are no other comments, I will ask Janet Reid to present her report on the Advancement Committee. Dr. Reid: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Advancement Committee met yesterday and we began with several items for action. Mr. Eicher, Mr. Monda, and Dr. Wampler provided the University Foundation Report. This included an update on the focus of the upcoming Foundation Board meeting scheduled for April 24, and the development of a scorecard to assist the Foundation Board Executive Committee and Advancement leadership in assessing the overall engagement of the board and in evaluating the effectiveness of the recent restructuring of the board. The Foundation Board Directorship and Nominating Committee met last month to review 28 candidates for Foundation Board membership. They are looking to add eight to 10 new directors to the board and have identified 14 that we will actively recruit. Their April committee meeting will focus on developing a robust orientation program for new directors. These directors are great contributors to The Ohio State University and are valued. 449 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 As it relates to fundraising activity through March 31, 2015, the university documented $255.2 million in new gift activity. This amount was 7% less than the documented total of $275.2 million for the same time period in fiscal year 2014. Please note that the 7% decline is a timing issue, and we have a number of significant gifts in the pipeline that we anticipate closing soon. Our principal gift pipeline is very strong and we are monitoring our progress closely. Mr. Ripple then presented three namings: the Arne Slettebak Planetarium, Howard & Rene Biel Geography Education Lecture Room, and Internal Spaces in the CBEC (Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Chemistry) building. These resolutions were passed by the Advancement Committee and are included in the consent agenda today. Ms. Beckwith then provided an overview of the Alumni Association’s Office of Alumni Advocacy. Their mission is to engage, inform, and encourage alumni and friends of the university to communicate and influence elected officials and community leaders on issues of importance to The Ohio State University and higher education. They had a recent meeting in Washington D.C. and a number of people attended. Mr. Eicher provided an update on the Advancement Scorecard. Overall the scorecard is green. A couple areas of note: we have moved into a steady state with the Buckeye Room. Seven studies have been conducted so far and we have collected great insights from our alumni. Overall event attendance has significantly surpassed where we were this time last year and we are certain to reach our goal for 2015. Our Key Media Quality score through February is 553,000, which is ahead of our goal of 544,000. The key to this success is a more strategic approach to sharing research stories that carry broad interest. We have wonderful research breakthroughs, and other things as we know, going on here at Ohio State. Having other people know about that too is the focus of this. In line with our annual target, our Social Media score is 6.8. The president eluded to our “Thank-a-Donor Day” and Dr. Cloyd recapped that during the meeting. I want to highlight a couple of details. Volunteers personally thanked more than 7,000 donors through notes and phone calls. It was designed as a concentrated effort to thank donors and involve the campus community in doing so. Most impressive was the leadership and enthusiasm demonstrated by the students who took charge with involving their peers and thanking donors. The committee then met in executive session. That concludes my report Mr. Chairman. Dr. Wadsworth: Thank you Dr. Reid. Are there any questions? Hearing none, I will ask Mr. Jurgensen to present Audit and Compliance Committee report. Mr. Jurgensen: Thank you Mr. Chairman. The Audit and Compliance Committee met yesterday and we had four items for discussion. The first was an update from our external audit partner, PwC (PricewaterhouseCoopers), regarding the audit plan for fiscal year 2015. As they do every year, they outlined their strategy and approach to the 2015 audit for both the university and the medical center. They discussed the significant risks identified for the university’s audit. There is no substantive change in the list of risks from last year. Those relate to risk of management override of controls, risk of fraud in revenue recognition in 450 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 certain revenue streams, risk of valuation of alternative investments in our portfolio that are not daily quoted market prices, and risk of valuation in patient revenue and patient accounts receivable. There will be some new areas of focus relevant for the 2015 audit. Those include GASB (Governmental Accounting Standards Board) changes related to accounting and financial reporting for pensions. This is the one that has me most concerned. It is something that our chief financial officer, Geoff Chatas, is following very closely. My concern is that we are potentially going to be required to reflect in our balance sheet a liability for which we actually have no liability. It is going to change the balance sheet of Ohio State in a significant way if it comes to pass. I worry about the rating agencies. Geoff is on it and we will work our way through it with PwC. The second one is the new federal Office of Management and Budget uniform guidance for entities receiving federal student aid, research grants, and other federal financial support. Next, Chris Culley and Gates Garrity-Rokous provided the committee with an update on the university’s compliance and integrity program. The committee continued its discussion on federal requirements related to sexual violence and campus safety, through federal Title IX and Clery Act requirements. One item to note is that as part of a federal requirement, Ohio State along with 27 other public and private research universities, including five other Big Ten institutions, is participating in a Campus Climate Survey, what Dr. Drake was referring to, sponsored by the Association of American Universities. We expect the results of that survey in September. Gates also provided an update on the university’s implementation of the required steps identified in our Title IX Resolution Agreement with the Department of Education, Office of Civil Rights. Coming out of that, there was a resolution agreement negotiated between the Office of Civil Rights and Ohio State. We have been in the process of implementing the things necessary to comply with that. All items are complete or remain on track for completion. I think the totality of it should be wrapped up by the fall of 2015. Gates also provided an update on the Audit Committee scorecard. All items are on track and noted that compliance will be revisiting this scorecard in future meetings. Like all of our committees, we constantly look at our scorecards to ensure that we are following and tracking the right things. I think it is interesting to note that, in Gates’ case in response to a question about this, the kinds of changes that we are considering aren’t whether we are measuring the right things but whether our programs are actually effective in accomplishing what lies underneath the point of the scorecard. We look forward to that. Finally, Chris Culley and Mike Mitchell presented the annual report on the university’s affiliated entities. The university has 29 affiliated entities, which are those organizations closely connected to the university, but maintain a separate legal existence. These include organizations such as Campus Partners, the Alumni Association, our Gateway operations in China, India, and Brazil, and Pelotonia. It is quite a varied list of structures. All affiliate entities have reporting responsibilities to two committees, with the Audit and Compliance Committee receiving reports on the entities as business units and a separate committee assigned with programmatic responsibility for the entity. That could be Academic Affairs, it could be Finance; it depends on why the entity exists. It is important that there are two different sets of eyes looking at it. Through the annual reporting process, the university reviews each affiliate’s financial statements, tax forms, audit reports, and other data, to ensure that they are operating in continued alignment with the university and are adhering to fundamental operational and accounting standards. The committee received detailed updates on those entities with changes in status over the last year. Each of the university’s 29 affiliates fully participated in and complied with the university’s annual reporting requirements and deeper dives on certain individual affiliates will come to the board in subsequent meetings. The committee then met in executive session. That concludes my report, Mr. Chairman. 451 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 Dr. Wadsworth: Thank you very much. I would like to comment about the scorecards. We had a discussion in Academic Affairs and Advancement. Scorecards are a great shorthand way to express how we are doing but they also need to be carefully maintained as to whether or not they still address the right issues. I think we are all paying attention to that. It is a nice way to summarize $5.5 billion a year but we have to be careful to make sure we are really looking at them right. Are there any other comments? If not, I would like to ask Mr. Shumate to report out on Academic Affairs and Student Life. Mr. Shumate: Thank you Mr. Chairman. The Academic Affairs and Student Life Committee met yesterday. We began the meeting with a review and endorsement of four resolutions. These include: personnel actions; the establishment of a Master of Sport Coaching Degree Program; the establishment of a Master of Learning Technologies Degree Program; and the awarding of degrees and certificates for spring semester at the May 10 commencement where we will have over 10,000 graduates. These resolutions are on the consent agenda for approval by the full board. President Drake joined the meeting and was consistent with your charge Mr. Chairman. We were focused on his presidential initiatives that were outlined during the recent investiture speech. Our committee is very focused on ensuring the success of those three initiatives and working with the president, as well as our provost to make sure those are priorities and that we are providing the necessary resources as well as review of those items. In particular, there was a good discussion and dialog on the initiative surrounding the issue of affordability, access, and excellence. They are priorities that we are committed to achieving and becoming a model university to make sure we are known as excellent in those three areas. The committee then reviewed the academic initiatives scorecard. Again, the review was based upon insuring that we are focused on measuring the right items. In particular, we looked at the scorecard to make sure that there is an alignment with the presidential initiatives. I am pleased to report that the scorecard shows that we are trending very well and there are some key areas that we are watching. In the area of enhancing the undergraduate and graduate student experience, I am pleased to report that we are currently meeting our 2020 goal for student to faculty ratio. We are closely watching the graduate/professional student academic experience and the number of graduate and professional programs ranked in the top 25 by US News and World Report. This is an area that we are monitoring. Importantly, the scorecard is currently green in all areas under balancing affordability, access, and excellence. I am very pleased to report that result and as always, we will continue to make that a priority focus, looking at strategies, looking at initiatives, and looking at tactics to make sure we are achieving and exceeding those goals. The committee then heard from Provost Steinmetz, who provided an update on the Office of Academic Affairs six priority areas. The committee was looking at the six priorities in terms of its alignment with the presidential initiatives, the scorecard, and our academic priority areas. The provost spoke initially on the quality of our student experience and that we are expanding and enhancing the STEP program, the international student experience, our commitment to career services for all students, and launching new innovative academic programs. 452 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 We then took a look at the eLearning focus. The university has developed 15 more online general education courses to add to the 10 launched earlier this year. One of the tactics that the provost and his team are focused on is recently joining the Unizin Consortium, an educational technology consortium that will provide new ways to create and share digital content. On the topic of improving affordability and access for Ohio State students, the provost reported that the university is a member of the University Innovation Alliance and is developing a presence in predictive analytics to be a measurement that we can use as a tool in accessing our affordability and access. The provost also talked about the Ohio Scholarship Challenge. This is a program that is looking for new strategies to make sure we are focusing on increasing the number, in particular, of need-based scholarships and to add to the focus of being the university known for value as well as dealing with the debt issues that our students face. Related to the Discovery Themes the provost reported we are hiring faculty for the Data Analytics Initiative, and 42 searches have been approved. Again, to reiterate the fact that we are engaged in a program of training to make sure that as we search for these faculty positions in the Discovery Themes, there is diversity training to improve the pools that we are looking at for hiring. We will expand that program to all faculty searches in the near future. We are also looking at the area of faculty evaluation and rewards; analyzing whether we are consistent with the developments for looking at these categories. The committee is looking at such areas as citizenship, research, team, transdisciplinary research and teaching, and engagement. I think this is an important initiative that will be reporting back to the provost. Finally, on the priority of enhancing the arts and connections to arts communities. The provost received a plan from the arts district steering committee with recommendations for facilities and programs in the planned arts district. The committee then met in executive session and that concludes my report, Mr. Chairman. Dr. Wadsworth: Thank you very much. Are there any questions or comments? I think we will all be interested in hearing about eLearning with their expansion and how effective it is. That is an area that we have been paying attention to recently. I will move on to the Finance Committee, Mr. Gasser. Mr. Gasser: Thank you Mr. Chairman. The Finance Committee met yesterday. There were six items presented for discussion. I agree with you. The scorecards are one of the items we looked at as well. We need to continue to make sure that the scorecards are relevant. We will continue to review them. Yesterday we looked at the consolidated, university, and medical center financial scorecards. it was stated that the university and Wexner Medical Center are overall financially on budget. We also looked at the physical environment scorecard. Mr. Kasey briefly discussed those items coded yellow including facilities condition index and percent of projects completed on time. Jay is monitoring these. The one coded red dealt with traffic accidents. We had two more accidents than we had budgeted. This is a concern and 453 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 Jay is working on this. The committee will stay on top of this because safety of our students is paramount. Ms. Readey presented the construction project status report and noted most major projects are rated green on the report as on time and on budget to date. Mr. Chatas then presented on the current state of tuition and fees, along with State Support for Instruction. The Governor’s budget proposes a cap and freeze for in-state tuition. He proposed 2% for fiscal year 2016 and 0% for fiscal year 2017. Ohio State continues to be one of the most affordable schools in the Big Ten. Geoff shared that we rank fifth most affordable based on in-state tuition for fiscal year 2015. Ohio State has also had the second lowest in-state tuition growth rate since 2006 when compared to all Big Ten schools at 2.4%. I want to stress that this was for information only. The topic of tuition and fees will be revisited at our June meeting and address. We will see how legislation and the governor come out on this. Mr. Chatas presented the annual waiver report of competitive bids for calendar year 2014. In summary, the number of waivers increased by 88 which equates to a $7 million increase. The Finance Committee additionally discussed 4 items for action. Mr. Chatas presented the tuition waiver for study abroad programs. This is policy that we renew every two years and was a tuition waiver relative to Ohio State’s tuition for students participating in Third Party Provider/Direct Enroll study abroad programs. The effect was that students had to pay two different fees. This waiver allows them to only pay one while continuing to be enrolled here at Ohio State. Mr. Chatas also presented reappointments to the self-insurance board. Four individuals who are on it were re-elected to the self-insurance board. Mr. Gene Smith and Mr. Chatas presented on athletic prices and fees. Previously, the board approved a proposal to increase ticket prices for up to two home football games that have been designated as “premier” games. For the 2015 season, these games will be Penn State and Michigan State games. Student tickets are not subject to the premier game pricing. In addition and new this year, two home football games will be discounted for the 2015 season, those being the Hawaii and Western Michigan games. Similarly for men’s basketball, we have the ability to designate up to five home games as “premier” if needed. For the golf course, membership dues will increase 2% for 2015-2016 season. Our final resolution was for professional services and construction contracts for roof repair and replacement on several buildings across the Columbus campus. We didn’t realize that Mr. Ratner was a roof expert but he explained to us that roofs leak all of the time and we need them. These resolutions were passed by the Finance Committee and are included in the Board of Trustee’s consent agenda today. The committee also met in executive session and that concludes my report Mr. Chairman. Dr. Wadsworth: Thank you very much. I had the pleasure of being in that committee meeting for some of the reports and witness the expertise offered by Mr. Ratner. Are there any other comments or questions? If not, I will move to the last committee report. Mr. Smucker will talk about governance and the number of issues arising from there that we will deal with as trustees. 454 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 Mr. Smucker: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Governance Committee met yesterday and reviewed four items for discussion and one item for action. I would like to take a moment to thank the committee’s vice chair, Alex Shumate, for leading the meeting yesterday in my absence. First, Ms. Douglass presented the talent scorecard. Within the new scorecard, the Office of Human Resources is measuring key drivers of workforce planning and management, including metrics such as faculty and staff FTE’s, hires, separations, age and retirement eligibility, and metrics which track the progress of the classification and compensation project. At the June board meeting, Ms. Douglass will come back to the committee with 2015 data. We will also begin to benchmark against our peer group which will include our Big 10 colleagues as well as other institutions. It was noted by the committee that we should add diversity and inclusion metrics to the talent scorecard. Ms. Douglass indicated that there was a plan to develop and implement those metrics in the near future. Miss Seger provided an update on the student trustee selection process. Overall the process is going very well. They had a wonderful applicant pool and the selection committee has reviewed all applications. A group of potential candidates has been identified and those individuals will attend the reception that we will host after today’s board meeting. Before you is a list of bios for potential candidates. This is a very impressive list. It will be a hard choice to follow the great leadership that Stacie has provided. The candidates will then be interviewed by the selection committee tomorrow and the top candidates will be interviewed by the governor’s office for final selection of the new undergraduate student trustee. Our chairman reported on the formation of ad hoc committees. The committee heard a brief update on this at our meeting in January. The first ad hoc committee has grown out of the work of the Governance Committee and centers around the topics of talent and compensation. Trustee Jerry Jurgensen has agreed to serve as chair of this ad-hoc committee. As an ad-hoc, it will report in to the Governance Committee. The second adhoc committee is that of Master Planning and Facilities. Before his term ends in May, Ron Ratner will lead the convening and early work of this committee. Ron, no rest. You will need to work on this. This committee will work through the Finance Committee. The committee also reviewed and approved one item for action, Ratification of Committee Appointments, which is on the consent agenda for approval by the full board. My final item to report on is the election of officers. The committee heard an update on the process for the upcoming year which included a careful and thoughtful review of our current board chair. The board by-laws specify that the officers of the board shall be elected at the February or April meeting of the board. The governance review discussed the traits and qualities that we, as a board, need to look for in a chair. The chair of the board must be able to build consensus; be collaborative and inclusive; be objective and decisive; be an effective communicator; advance good governance practices; and the chair must put the university and board before self and serve as an advocate for Ohio State. After a careful and diligent review by the Governance Committee, we would like to place in nomination that Jeffrey Wadsworth serve a second term as Chairman of the board. We would also like to place in nomination Alex Shumate as Vice Chair of the board, and Blake Thompson as Secretary of the board. Before I make this motion, I know I speak on behalf of all of the board, we are fortunate to have the leadership that Jeff has provided and the willingness to continue to do that so selflessly. We appreciate the continuation of Alex Shumate as the Vice Chairman. Blake Thompson, thank you for your leadership in your new role. You are taking on more 455 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 than one job. Thank you and I think the trustees are fortunate for all of you. With that, I would like to move that this slate of officers be approved. ELECTION OF OFFICERS Resolution No. 2015-88 Synopsis: Approval of the following slate of officers, is proposed. WHEREAS the Bylaws of the Board of Trustees specify that the officers of the board shall be elected at the February or April meeting of the board; and WHEREAS all officers shall take office at the adjournment of the April meeting of the board or on April 1 if there is no April board meeting, and shall hold their office through the following April meeting of the board of trustees and until their successors are elected and qualified; and WHEREAS a careful and diligent review was conducted by the Governance Committee and the following slate of officers is recommended for approval by the board: Jeffrey Wadsworth, Chair Alex Shumate, Vice Chair Blake Thompson, Secretary NOW THEREFORE BE IS RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees hereby approves the slate of officers as presented. *** Dr. Wadsworth: Thank you very much Mr. Smucker. We have a motion, can I have a second? Are there any discussions or nominations from the floor? Seeing none, we have a motion and a second. Upon motion of Mr. Smucker, seconded by Mr. Krueger, the Board of Trustees adopted the foregoing resolution with ten affirmative votes, cast by Trustees Mrs. Wexner, Mr. Fischer, Mr. Porteus, Mr. Gasser, Ms. Krueger, Mr. Smucker, Mr. Jurgensen, Dr. Reid, Mrs. Kass, and Mr. Ratner. Dr. Wadsworth and Mr. Shumate abstained. Mr. Smucker: Congratulations and thank you to Dr. Wadsworth, Mr. Shumate, and Dr. Thompson for continuing to serve in these roles. The committee then met in executive session and that concludes my report Mr. Chairman. Dr. Wadsworth: The consent agenda is now before the trustees. I would like to call on Dr. Drake to present it to the board. *** 456 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 CONSENT AGENDA President Drake: Today we have a total of 14 resolutions on the consent agenda. We will hold a separate vote for item number 17, University Foundation Report. We are seeking approval for the following: RESOLUTIONS IN MEMORIAM Resolution No. 2015-60 BE IT RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees approves the following Resolutions in Memoriam and that the President be requested to convey copies to the families of the deceased.

From 1980-1986, Professor Longenecker was the inaugural director of the center (later department) of Women’s Studies. From 1986-1987, she took a leave of absence from the university, to serve as the executive assistant to Ohio Governor Richard Celeste and first lady Dagmar Celeste. Professor Longenecker retired from The Ohio State University in 2008 but continued to serve the Department of English in various capacities until 2013. In 2008 the Alumni Advisory Committee established the Marlene B. Longenecker English Faculty Teaching and Leadership Award. Professor Longenecker was the first recipient of this award. On behalf of the university community, the Board of Trustees expresses to the family of Professor Marlene B. Longenecker its deepest sympathy and sense of understanding of their loss. It is directed that this resolution be inscribed upon the minutes of the Board of Trustees and that a copy be tendered to his family as an expression of the Board’s heartfelt sympathy. Kenneth A. Marantz The Board of Trustees of The Ohio State University expresses its sorrow upon the death on January 3, 2015, of Kenneth A. Marantz, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Arts Administration, Education and Policy (formerly the Department of Art Education) in the College of Arts and Sciences. Professor Marantz was born in Passaic, New Jersey and grew up in New York City, attending the Fieldston School. He was a purser pharmacist mate in the Merchant Marine during WWII, serving on carriers in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. His BA and MFA in sculpture are from Cornell University and he received the EdD from New York University. His teaching career began as an elementary school art teacher on Long Island. He served two years as a professor at Pratt Institute which were followed by teaching at the University of Chicago for eight years. Professor Marantz joined the The Ohio State University faculty 458 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 as the chairman of the Art Education Department in 1971.

I will do a brief introduction and then call upon a trustee to make a comment about the outgoing trustee. The outgoing trustee can then say a few words. Stacie, Gil, and Ron, get ready. You have been warned. First, I would like to recognize our undergraduate student trustee, Stacie Seger. We had a very nice evening last night where we were able to also present gifts. I don’t want people to think that you didn’t get a going away gift. That was done last night. Stacie’s critical thinking and positive disposition have been a great value to the board. We are really going to miss your wisdom and guidance. You have been a steadfast advocate for students and make sure the student voice is heard. We are constantly reminded about how important that is in our deliberations. You also have a very adventurous side to you. We have two pieces of evidence to support that. Some of us may have more. The first is the corn-on-the-cob eating contest. Last night we watched a video of you skydiving. You are a remarkable person, the best that Ohio State has to offer the world. We thank you for your service to the board. I would like to ask Brent Porteus to make a few comments on behalf of the trustees. Mr. Porteus: Thank you Mr. Chairman. As we, around this table, have experienced, Stacie is an exceptional person. I want to share some thoughts that were solicited from her peers that speak eloquently to what Stacie really embodies. These comments are from those who have served with her as a student trustee. They call Stacie dedicated to her studies, her college, our university, her friends, and her family. She is always working hard, giving it all that she has. They describe Stacie as very honest, fighting always for what she believes in, and having that tact and wisdom far beyond her years. She exhibits the professionalism that is necessary for the job while still always having fun. Stacie asks, as we have witnessed, difficult questions. She fully understands the role of a student trustee and has always fulfilled that role with hard work and grace. 471 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 Her peers also identify that she is successful in their view because she is smart, direct, and grounded in her value system; always doing what she believes is best for Ohio State. Stacie, thank you for your service and contributions to this university and to our efforts. Dr. Wadsworth: Stacie, would you like to make a few comments? Ms. Seger: I want to thank all of you for giving me the opportunity to serve in such a role. Ohio State has 60,000 remarkable students and the fact that I had the opportunity to represent them has really meant the world to me. Sitting around this table with not only the most successful people around Ohio and the nation, I truly feel thankful to call you all friends and mentors. Although I stand here as a student trustee, you never made me feel that way. I feel as an adequate member of this board; adding a little bit of different expertise and different occupation. You truly have been the leaders for students first and you remember why Ohio State is here and what we do. I am forever thankful to have this opportunity to serve with all of you and to represent this great university. Truly “But for Ohio State”, I would not be the person I am here today. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for giving me the opportunity. I would also like to give a greater thank you to the OSU community for supporting me in this endeavor. I am not going far and will forever be a Buckeye. Thank you. Dr. Wadsworth: Thank you Stacie. University trustee boards who do not have student representatives are missing out. It is a big mistake. We are very fortunate. Next, I would like to turn to Gil Cloyd. Gil has been a tireless advocate for Ohio State for many years. He served on the board as a trustee from 2005-2009, including servicing as chair from 2007-2009. He has been a charter trustee since 2009. Gil, your service over the past decade is exemplary. That decade does not fully capture your Ohio State life. We heard last night about how Gil started his college career at one of our regional campuses and he continues to remind us of their importance with his own pathway and the opportunities he had. He graduated from our own College of Veterinary Medicine in 1969. He supported Ohio State and its students throughout a remarkable career at Proctor & Gamble. It spanned four decades. I am not trying to make you feel old. His contributions to us include invaluable guidance on innovation, technology commercialization, and university advancement. We will greatly miss having Gil’s steady hand guiding us. I want to also add my personal note to this and say how much I have appreciated the discussions we had and the wisdom and insight you bring to the topics we worked on. I will ask Linda Kass to make a few comments on behalf of the trustees. Mrs. Kass: Thank you Mr. Chairman. It is my privilege to say a few words about Gil Cloyd, who has served 11 years as a trustee of this university. 472 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 As Dr. Wadsworth mentioned, he began quite a while ago as an undergraduate and then attended graduate school here. To give context around some of the contents that Dr. Wadsworth made, a bit of board history and to appreciate Gil’s role as a trail blazer. He was appointed by Governor Taft in 2005 as part of an expansion of the board, from nine to 15 members. Those new members were given staggered terms. He was appointed for five years. Significantly, he became the first elected chair of the modern era of the board. Previously, board members served as chair in their ninth year, their final year of their appointment. Gil was an inclusive and consensus chair. He served in that role when I was appointed to the board seven years ago. Concurrent with the end of his appointed term, Gil retired from Proctor & Gamble and moved from Cincinnati to Austin. During his year of hiatus, the Governance Committee set the policy for Charter Trustees; trustees who live outside of the State of Ohio selected by the board. Gil became our first charter trustee. In fact, Gil’s dedication, knowledge, and passion for Ohio State became the model for what we look for in a charter trustee as we go forward. Some history about his role at Proctor & Gamble, which is interesting to how he has been such an effective trustee. As research chief at Proctor & Gamble, he interfaced with many universities. As a result, he arrived here with great insight around the workings of academic institutions. He has the researcher’s inquisitiveness, attention to detail, preparedness, and brought with him P&G’s engrained culture of innovation in developing new products and rethinking old ones. He was really equipped to help Ohio State think about how research can be applied and was attentive to the Discovery Themes and how they can impact the greater good. Gil, from the moment he arrived, never stopped beating the drum for affordability and access, as you are hearing from us today. He really championed those values and was the voice of the board for that. He also led the advancement framework planning team that took about a year to create the blueprint for the strategic integration of marketing and communications, alumni relations, and fundraising that we now know as advancement. I think he has served on every committee of the board. He has made his mark in so many ways. He has been a role model for many of us here, as trustees, with his passion for the university, steep involvement, thoughtful questions and insight, his frequent affirmation of people and programs, and extensive impact across the university. We are all deeply appreciative for all that you have done Gil for Ohio State University. We will miss you. Dr. Cloyd: Thank you very much for those generous and kind comments. As I said last night, serving on this board has been the singular biggest honor in my life. This is a marvelous institution. This is a marvelous board. The university leadership and the people within this university are all marvelous people. To be associated with and to be able to provide, in some small way, help to an institution that has such a dramatic positive impact on our society has been a wonderful opportunity for me. We can talk the research and service that this university provides, which adds an unbelievable benefit to our society. The part to me though, that always seems to bubble to the top is the educational component. This university has the ability and does impact and change lives of thousands and thousands of young men and women; opening doors to them in life that otherwise would not open. That is really noble. I was so excited during President Drake’s investiture speech to hear the recommitment and to take Ohio State to even a higher ground, when we talk about what we can do in terms 473 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 of access, affordability, and excellence in education. I am very confident that this university will go to that next higher plane. I want to thank all of the trustees. You are marvelous colleagues and great friends, I have learned from all of you. I will miss this but the virus has infected me too. Anytime I can help this university, it will be my pleasure to do so. Thank you. Dr. Wadsworth: Thank you very much Gil. I am sure you haven’t heard the last from us. We appreciate everything you have done. Thirdly, I would like to acknowledge the contributions of Ron Ratner. Ron has served over the past year as Vice Chair of the board. Ron, thank you for your wisdom on so many facets of university life. From housing to campus development, you have selflessly given from your deep professional knowledge of these areas in order to dramatically improve the lives of students on our campus. You came to the planning table and the board table ready to engage all in thoughtful discussion. Notably, you always kept the students best interest in the forefront of our conversations. This was noticed and appreciated. We are going to miss having you as our resident trustee from the Cleveland area. We are thankful though for a continuing university presence in Cleveland due to your efforts in locating our first recruiting office there. I suspect we will see you recruiting there in the years ahead. We thank you for your service. I would like to ask Jerry Jurgensen if he would speak on behalf of the trustees. Mr. Jurgensen: Thank you Jeff. In order to talk about Ron Ratner, I need a brief setup, in the spirit of our president’s capacity. I think we all look at life through a set of glasses. These glasses that we all wear guide what we think and guide what we say. The glasses have two lenses in them. The first lens reflects our personal values set. In the case of Ron Ratner, I think the value lens that he looks through, as I come to know him, are the values of caring, compassion, and common sense. In everything he says, in how he thinks and reacts, I am reminded and see these values in him. The other lens in the glasses that we look at life through, reflects our experiences. All of us react to issues as a function of the personal life experiences that we each have gone through. In the case of the lens with Ron comes through as competency. A lot of us, over the nine years or length of time that we get to spend here on this board, are all going to get a chance to work on fascinating and interesting things. For the most part, none of us are going to have the opportunity to have something left behind that reflects our values and reflects our experiences. That will not be the case for Ron. What Ron will leave behind for this university is a comprehensive master plan as to how this university will think about its real property, its physical environment, and the impact that it has on our student’s success here at the university. This master planning exercise, I don’t believe, would have happened if it wasn’t for the commitment that Ron has made to its completion. There was an incredible amount of time spent on the campus working with people on the board and working with people in administration. This plan has dealt with our infrastructure, it has dealt with our way-finding, it has dealt with the construction of new buildings, the creation of architectural standards, looked at the issue of deferred maintenance, it looks at the issue of logical connectivity between 474 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 physical assets on the campus and the programs that they drive. All of this has benefited immensely and is from Ron’s competency and lens from personal experience. I think he has demonstrated to all of us through his contributions why his professional profile is so important to the necessary skills matrix that we discuss with the governor when we talk about his consideration on new trustee candidates. This board needs to have someone in its midst who has a professional profile, who has a set of personal experiences, and who has a set of personal values that reflect Ron Ratner. It has been great and an honor to work with you. Mr. Ratner: I never realized what an embarrassing moment this really is. Jerry, thank you. I really appreciate your observations. There have been many times in my life that I wish my parents were here because those values are the values that I think I grew up with and hope that my wife and I have transmitted to our kids. It is also interesting that Jeff referred to me as the resident Cleveland trustee. I don’t know if that meant that I was resident in Columbus or in Cleveland because I have spent a dutiful amount of time on I-71 driving between the two cities. I am personally familiar with virtually every orange barrel. I might add that it is spring again and they came out yesterday. They are blossoming throughout the entire route, which is always a joy. Tim, you don’t have to drive quite as far but nonetheless, it is always a pleasure to come down here. It is also interesting, as I sat here listening to many trustees as they have gone through this exit process, every one of them without exception thanks the university for the opportunity to have been of service. I think that signals to this board. I cannot think of another place where I have had the opportunity to serve where I have been thankful for that opportunity. I have had a lot of experiences in the civic community in my life but nowhere have I felt as deeply committed to the institution. And nowhere have I felt that the institution has given back to me. The other thing that is interesting is that we always thank the other people, specifically the trustees with whom we have served, both who are currently on the board and the whole group of trustees we served with earlier in our career. I might add that Gil was the first trustee I met. He was then the chair and welcomed me with his normal grace and tolerance. It is interesting today that I am leaving with Gil and Stacie because I was also shocked, as Jeff said, at how extraordinary valuable the student trustees have been. I have been pounding on a number of other institutions that I am engaged with to open their doors to student trustees. Not just to sit on the board but to be an active member of every single deliberation the board has. That I think is really critical and has changed the manner in the work that we have done. In the way of thank-you, I also would like to thank all of the administrators. We don’t often think about that but the board could not do its work without the cooperation of the administrators with whom we work. Originally I worked with Jeff Kaplan in the physical facilities area and more recently with both Jay Kasey and Keith Myers. They are extraordinary. Their commitment and devotion to the university is remarkable and all of the people who work in their offices, in that case are the people I work with most closely. Throughout the university, Dr. J is in the audience and Dr. Gabbe was earlier, all of us as trustees realize that we cannot do our work without the active support of administrators. In many cases, there is tension between administration and the board. I don’t sense that tension here at all. I really look at them as colleagues. 475 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 Lastly, I would like to thank the board office. They are unsung. As Gil mentioned last night, for those of us who live out of town, they keep us on schedule, they keep us in the right place. They try their hardest to keep us from committing cultural faux pas that don’t always make it because sometimes we do. They are an extraordinary group that work selflessly and with the leadership of Blake, they have been the support that allows many of us to do what we do. I don’t want to go on any longer. I want to thank everybody again for the opportunity to be of service and as with every departing board member, I am not far away. I will journey again down I-71 at the beck-and-call of the university. I certainly hope that I can find a way to continue to be of service to this great institution. Thank you. Dr. Wadsworth: We certainly hope we find a way to stay connected with the three departing trustees. The board has been made so much stronger by your contributions. The role of fiduciary is one that can’t be overstated in its importance in our roles. Everyone has contributed to this. Thank you again for your time and service. I will remind the trustees that we are meeting student trustee candidates immediately following adjournment. The next meeting of the board will take place on Friday, June 5, 2015. If there is no other business, this meeting is adjourned. Thank you.

As president and CEO of the Ohio State Alumni Association and senior vice president for alumni relations, Mr. Griffin’s goal is to make it possible for all alumni to stay connected with and strengthen the university. Mr. Griffin is the only twotime winner of the prestigious Heisman Trophy. A three-time All-American, the former running back is included in the NCAA’s 100 Most Influential StudentAthletes. He is a member of the National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame board of directors and is in its Hall of Fame and the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame. In 2014, Mr. Griffin was honored as All-Century Player by the Tournament of Roses Association in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Rose Bowl game. He played in four consecutive Rose Bowl games under legendary coach Woody Hayes, who once said of Mr. Griffin: “He’s a better young man than he is a football player, and he’s the best football player I’ve ever seen.” Mr. Griffin earned his undergraduate degree in industrial relations from Ohio State in 1976. He was a firstround draft choice of the Cincinnati Bengals, where he served as cocaptain and played 485 with the franchise for seven years. He returned to Ohio State in 1984 and rose to become associate director of athletics for sports. He joined the Alumni Association in 2004. With a commitment to paying forward, Mr. Griffin created the Archie Griffin Scholarship Fund, which benefits Ohio State’s Olympic sports programs. He and his wife, Bonita, formed the Archie and Bonita Griffin Foundation Fund to help develop sports, educational and travel programs for youth in central Ohio. A sought-after speaker and humanitarian, he also serves on many boards and foundations. Commencement Convocation, May 10, 2015 RECIPIENTS OF HONORS Michael L. J. Apuzzo DOCTOR OF SCIENCE One of the world’s mostrenowned neurosurgeons, Michael L. J. Apuzzo has made countless discoveries that have helped redefine the field of neurosurgery. A native of New Haven, Connecticut, Dr. Apuzzo received his undergraduate education at Yale College, his medical education at Boston University and general surgical training at McGill University’s Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal. Upon completing his neurosurgery residencies at Yale, Dr. Apuzzo served in the United States Navy’s Nuclear Submarine Service. During this time, he created a detailed protocol for recognizing and managing neurological emergencies during clandestine patrols and received special recognition for his service from the United States Surgeon General and the Atlantic Fleet Admiral. This experience influenced his perspective on using novel technologies to solve neurosurgical problems, which became a central theme in his career. Subsequently, he pioneered the establishment of minimally invasive strategies in neurosurgery, in particular endoscopy, focused beam radiation and imaging guided navigation as well as the use of computers and microscopes as essential neurosurgical tools. These methods were later adopted by other surgical disciplines. He devised innovative methods for removing brain tumors previously believed to be inoperable. He both envisioned and established the amalgam of cellular and molecular biology and nanotechnology within the neurosurgical field. He identified and later defined the important emerging area of functional restoration in the era of modern technologies such as robotics, stem cell, grafting and modulation. A prolific scholar, Dr. Apuzzo has shared his ideas and 486 findings in three seminal textbooks, 12 monographs and more than 700 other individual works. He has served on more than 25 editorial boards and as a highly innovative editor-inchief for two flagship journals in his discipline over a 24-year period. With a passion for competitive sports, Dr. Apuzzo has acted as the primary neurological consultant for both the New York Football Giants and the University of Southern California Athletics Department. As a special consultant, he also helped create protective protocols for the NCAA and NFL related to cerebral concussions. Today, Dr. Apuzzo holds many appointments, including the Edwin M. Todd/Trent H. Wells Professor of Neurological Surgery, Radiation Oncology, Biology and Physics at the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine. Commencement Convocation, May 10, 2015 RECIPIENTS OF HONORS David Lang DOCTOR OF MUSIC Among the most-performed contemporary American composers, Dr. David Lang has achieved international recognition for the fierce energy and intelligence of his compositions. He began his career as a composer after earning degrees from the University of Iowa, Stanford University and Yale University. His extensive catalog of music - described as ominous and ethereal, hypnotic and unsettling - includes works for nearly every genre and instrumentation. Renowned performing arts organizations around the world have presented his work, including the Santa Fe Opera, the Nederlands Dans Theater, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Paris Opera Ballet. In 2008, Dr. Lang received the Pulitzer Prize for Music for his critically acclaimed the little match girl passion, cocommissioned by Carnegie Hall in New York and the Perth Theatre and Concert Hall in Scotland. For his groundbreaking work, Dr. Lang has received many other honors, including the Richard and Barbara Debs Composer’s Chair at Carnegie Hall, Musical America’s Composer of the Year Award, a Grammy Award for Best Small Ensemble Performance, the Doris Duke Performing Artist Award and the International Society for the Performing Arts’ Distinguished Artist Award. He also has received numerous grants and fellowships from some of the most prominent foundations in the United States, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York Foundation for the Arts and the American Academy of Arts and Letters. The French government also named Dr. Lang a chevalier in the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. In 2014 he was elected into the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

Kathleen Gilligan Sebelius DOCTOR OF PUBLIC SERVICE With an innate calling to serve others, Kathleen Gilligan Sebelius has dedicated her professional career to elevating the quality of life for countless Americans. Most notably, she was twice elected governor of Kansas, followed by an appointment to President Barack Obama’s Cabinet as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In that role, Gov. Sebelius shaped and implemented the president’s signature legislative effort to reform the nation’s health care. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Gov. Sebelius is the daughter of former Ohio governor, John Gilligan. She is the only governor’s daughter ever to earn that same title in American history. During her first term, which began in 2003, Gov. Sebelius became known for her ability to effectively partner with legislators from both parties. She also eliminated a $1.1 billion state budget deficit while championing education spending. In 2005, Time magazine highlighted her as one of the nation’s top five governors. A rising political figure, Gov. Sebelius delivered the official party response to the 2008 State of the Union address, cementing her credibility among lawmakers. Transitioning from state government to supporting the White House in 2009, Gov. Sebelius’ expertise in health policy steered a variety of initiatives during her time with Health and Human Services, including the passage and implementation of the Affordable 487 Care Act. She exhibited leadership in women’s health issues, tobacco control, prevention of chronic diseases and mental health parity. She was also responsible for the nation’s response to natural disasters and emerging epidemics, including the 2010 Haiti earthquake and the H1N1 flu outbreak. In recognition of the weight of these duties, Gov. Sebelius was named one of “The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women” by Forbes in 2013. She stepped down from Health and Human Services in summer 2014. Gov. Sebelius earned her undergraduate degree from Trinity Washington niversity and a graduate degree in public administration from the University of Kansas. Commencement Convocation, May 10, 2015 RECIPIENTS OF HONORS Jameson Crane DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD For nearly seven decades, Jameson Crane has been an engaged partner of The Ohio State University, inspiring generations of Crane family members to follow his example as a philanthropic leader. His relationship with the university began in the 1940s when, after serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II, he used the GI Bill to enroll at Ohio State. In 1947, following three years on the Buckeye football team, he earned his undergraduate degree in business administration. He then forged a distinguished career with the Plastics Division of Columbus Coated Fabrics Corp. before joining Crane Plastics in 1960. Today, he is chairman emeritus of the Crane Group, a private holding and management company in Columbus. Along with his family and late wife, Ann, Mr. Crane has provided significant support for academic programs, scholarships and building projects at Ohio State. He has helped make possible the Crane Study Table at the Younkin Success Center, the Crane Designated Professorship of Strategic Marketing and the Jameson Crane MBA Fellowship. The Cranes also established three vital centers: the Crane Center for Early Childhood Research and Policy, the Loann Crane Advanced Language Institute and the Jameson Crane Sports Medicine Institute, which will be the nation’s largest sports medicine facility. Mr. Crane has been a member of the Ohio State President’s Club since 1972. He also served on the Foundation Board of Directors from 1991 to 2002 and participated in the planning and execution of the Affirm Thy Friendship Campaign, which raised $1.23 billion for the university. An active member of the Columbus community, Mr. Crane has served as president of the Columbus Club and Columbus School for Girls boards. He also served for more than 25 years as a director of Bank One Corp. Nancy L. Zimpher DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD A three-time graduate of The Ohio State University, Dr. Nancy L. Zimpher is a nationally recognized leader in higher education administration with a commitment to teacher preparation, urban education and universitycommunity engagement. After earning her undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degrees at Ohio State, Dr. Zimpher devoted more than two decades of service to the university’s College of Education. For 14 years, she was a faculty member in the School of Educational Policy and Leadership and held several vital positions before becoming dean of the College of Education in 1993 and executive dean of the professional colleges in 1994. As dean, Dr. Zimpher successfully reorganized the College of Education into three schools and transitioned the teacher preparation programs from undergraduate to graduate level. This dramatic change led to higher admission standards, stronger placement records and heightened visibility for the college. She was instrumental in the creation of Ohio State’s first Academic Plan, the formation of the Younkin Success Center and the establishment of Campus Partners and its activities related to the university’s development work with the city of Columbus. She also served on many University Senate and ad hoc committees, most notably the Senate Fiscal and Provost Search committees. Since leaving Ohio State in 1998, Dr. Zimpher has become the first woman to serve as chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, president of the University of Cincinnati and as the current chancellor of the State University of New York – the nation’s largest 488 comprehensive system of higher education. She is the co-founder of Strive Together in Cincinnati, a national model for fostering collaborations between universities and communities to promote student success throughout the education continuum. She remains active in numerous other organizations, including the National Association of System Heads and the American Council on Education. She also has chaired boards for the Coalition of Urban Serving Universities, CEOs for Cities and the NCAA.

CONTEXT: State law only allows a waiver of tuition if it is authorized by law or approved by the Chancellor of the Ohio Board of Regents for the period covered by each state biennial budget. The purpose of this request is to outline the need for the continuation of the tuition waiver for students participating in Third Party Provider/Direct Enroll study abroad programs in fiscal years 2016 and 2017. SUMMARY: Currently, Ohio State students pay a uniform instructional fee and general fee regardless of major or classes in which they are enrolled. Students participating in Third Party Provider or Direct Enroll study abroad programs paid the tuition or charge for the these programs and all related costs in addition to the instructional and general fees at The Ohio State University prior to the establishment of a tuition waiver through The Ohio State University Board of Trustees and the Ohio Board of Regents in fiscal year 2015. If the waiver is not continued, it will result in students either paying in two tuition payments for the term in which they are enrolled in such programs or dis-enrolling at The Ohio State University to reduce the financial burden. Dis-enrolling causes the student to be “off our radar” and to be at risk for travel-related situations such as manmade or natural disasters and medical emergencies. Therefore, the administration is seeking to continue the tuition waiver for students enrolled in these programs. State law only allows a waiver of tuition if it is authorized by law or approved by the Chancellor of the Ohio Board of Regents for the period covered by each state biennial budget. Based on procedures established by the Ohio Board of Regents, the Board of Trustees must first pass a resolution approving the tuition waiver prior to submitting a request for the tuition waiver to the state. REQUESTED OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE: Approval of the attached resolution approving a tuition waiver for Third Party Provider/Direct Enroll programs for fiscal years 2016 and 2017. 658 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 Ohio Revised Code Section 363.230. HIGHER EDUCATION - BOARD OF TRUSTEES (A) Funds appropriated for instructional subsidies at colleges and universities may be used to provide such branch or other offcampus undergraduate courses of study and such master's degree courses of study as may be approved by the Chancellor of the Board of Regents. (B) In providing instructional and other services to students, boards of trustees of state institutions of higher education shall supplement state subsidies with income from charges to students. Except as otherwise provided in this act, each board shall establish the fees to be charged to all students, including an instructional fee for educational and associated operational support of the institution and a general fee for noninstructional services, including locally financed student services facilities used for the benefit of enrolled students. The instructional fee and the general fee shall encompass all charges for services assessed uniformly to all enrolled students. Each board may also establish special purpose fees, service charges, and fines as required; such special purpose fees and service charges shall be for services or benefits furnished individual students or specific categories of students and shall not be applied uniformly to all enrolled students. A tuition surcharge shall be paid by all students who are not residents of Ohio. The board of trustees of a state institution of higher education shall not authorize a waiver or nonpayment of instructional fees or general fees for any particular student or any class of students other than waivers specifically authorized by law or approved by the Chancellor. This prohibition is not intended to limit the authority of boards of trustees to provide for payments to students for services rendered the institution, nor to prohibit the budgeting of income for staff benefits or for student assistance in the form of payment of such instructional and general fees. 659 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 (APPENDIX XXXVII) BACKGROUND Football and Men’s Basketball Ticket Prices Golf Course Membership and Daily Green Fees TOPICS: CONTEXT: The Ohio State University Department of Athletics continues to be one of only 18 self‐sustaining athletic programs across the nation. Currently, the Department of Athletics funds more than 1,100 student‐athletes in successful endeavors of athletic competitions and academic achievement with a graduation success rate of 89%. Yearly, the Department of Athletics contributes more than $30 million to the institution’s academic mission. Funds generated from ticket sales are used to sustain the scholarships for over 625 student‐athletes. In February 2013, the Board of Trustees approved a resolution allowing the Department of Athletics to designate a select number of premier games for football and men’s basketball. Given the success of that program, the Athletic Council and university administrators recommend the continuation of those guidelines for fiscal year 2016 as well as the ability to discount two football games for the 2016 season. RECOMMENDATION: For Football tickets (2015 football season): Option to designate up to two home football games as premier games and price the reserved public tickets between $79 and up to a maximum $125 and $150 per game, respectively. (Student tickets remain not subject to the premier game pricing.) Option to offer discounted rates for up to two home football games and price the reserved public tickets at $65. Maintain the reserved public ticket price of $79 for all remaining games, the faculty and staff season discount rate at approximately 80% of public price, and the student ticket price at $34. For Men’s Basketball tickets (2015-2016 basketball season): Option to designate up to five non-conference or conference home men’s basketball games as premier games and price the Personal Seat License and club level seats at $47, reserved public zone 1 (lower level and upper level sideline) seats at $46, reserved public zone 2 (upper level corner/end) seats at $25, and student seats at $13 per game. Maintain the non-premier, non-conference and conference game ticket prices as shown in the attached table, and maintain the faculty and staff discount price for season tickets at approximately 80% of public price. For Golf Course Membership Dues and Green Fees: Alumni/Affiliates, Faculty/Staff, OSU Student and OSU Affiliate Family membership dues will increase 2% for 2015-2016 season. Daily green fees remain unchanged from last year. CONSIDERATIONS: Football Tickets: Single-game ticket prices have not increased since 2013. 660 Board of Trustees meeting minutes, April 10, 2015 Premier game pricing has been successful since being introduced at Ohio State. When Ohio State began premier game ticket pricing, the practice was already in use by other Big Ten institutions and various athletic programs across the country. The proposed schedule for the 2015 season would include two premier games: Penn State ($125) and Michigan State ($150), while Hawaii and Western Michigan would be discounted to $65. Opponent Reserved Box/Club Faculty/Staff Student Hawaii $ 65 $ 75 n/a n/a Northern Illinois $ 79 $ 89 n/a n/a Western Michigan $ 65 $ 75 n/a n/a Maryland $ 79 $ 89 n/a n/a Penn State $ 125 $ 135 n/a n/a Minnesota $ 79 $ 89 n/a n/a Michigan State $ 150 $ 160 n/a n/a Season Ticket $ 642 $ 712 $ 516 $ 238 In 2013, the Wisconsin game was the sole premier game and reserved public tickets were priced at $110. There were two premier games in the 2014 season: Virginia Tech ($110) and Michigan ($150). Men’s Basketball Tickets: Single-game ticket prices have not increased since the 2013-2014 season. Premier game pricing has been successful since being introduced at Ohio State.
