The Selected Firm - Ruffalo Noel- Levitz • State system qualified 5 firms, SRU selected RNL through a competitive RFP process • 45 years experience with institutions to support their goals for enrollment, student success, and fundraising. • RN L's market research team offers more than 20 years of experience in successfully surveying hundreds of thousands of individuals for their college and university partners. • Experience with, approximately 1,900 institutions annually, including 375 enrollment marketing partners and over 100 large-scale consulting

and market research projects annually.

Pricing Sensitivity Study • Phase 1 ~ Competitor Analysis- Completed in Fa/12018 • Phase II - Price Sensitivity Survey

Phase I - Competitor Analysis • During the first phase of our pricing study RNL conducted a competition analysis. • RNL analyzed the last three years' worth of historical data on SRU's admitted students (fall 2015, fall 2016 and fall 2017; a total of 14,606 records). • RNL appended data from the National Student Clearinghouse to identify the colleges and universities attended by admitted students who did not enroll at SRU. • During the initial phase of the study, RNL focused on market region, need level, academic levels of students, and academic programs.

3


9/17/2019

Phase II - Pricing Sensitivity Surveys During the second phase of the study, RNL collaborated with our team to develop pricing survey questlonnalres for resident undergraduates, non-resident undergraduates, and graduate programs (both on-site and onllne). The questlonnalres were designed to Identify SRU's market position relative to actual competitors on key attributes of value, test the demand relative to specified tuition levels, and test the receptivity to different aid packages at these tuition levels. • Factors Identified In the earlier Competltlon Analysis- such as desired program of study, academic profile (self. reported), and famtly Income (self-reported)- were Included In the survey to facilitate more focused segment analysis as they bear on willingness to pay and relative importance of value attributes. Once the survey Instruments were finalized, RNL hosted the onllne survey of prospective students (and parents of prospective undergraduate students). The Intent Is secure complete survey responses from 300 prospective resident undergraduate students (and 300 parents); 300 prospective non-resident undergraduate students (and 300 parents); and 450 prospective graduate students (on-site and onllne). • RNL manages the entire survey process, Including programming, hosting, email Invitations, quality control, data verification, and data analysis.

Pricing Sensitivity Results • Based on the survey results, RNL identifies: Share of each market (resident undergraduate, non-resident undergraduate, and graduate) that is primarily motivated by sticker price, primarily responding to discounts (financial aid awards), and primarily motivated by considerations of a school's value attributes. Optimum tuition level for each market (resident undergraduate, nonresident undergraduate, and graduate programs [on-site and online]). Degree to which scholarships or financial aid packages can offset the impact of price sensitivity (the target level of discount for each market at the optimum sticker price).

4


9/17/2019

Pricing Sensitivity Results The firm will provide recommendations for effective pricing strategies. They will ensure that SRU not only understands the data collected, but also is equipped to develop sound recruitment strategies based on the research findings. Key findings include recommendations regarding published price, discounting levels, and marketing messages that are most likely to drive perceptions of value. Following the results consultation, SRU will receive a written executive report which highlights key findings, recommendations, and tables summarizing responses to the surveys. Work files and raw data from both the competition analysis and the survey phase will also be made available (in .csv or Excel format) at the University's request.

ANALYSIS Amends the Public School Code of 1949, Article XX-A, the State System of Higher Education's enabling statute, so that its governance structure may better manage and grow the System; be flexible and responsive; and uphold the System's promise to Pennsylvania-delivering on its public service mission of providing students with high-quality, affordable public higher education that prepares them to meet the needs of the Commonwealth.

Costs & Efficiencies Section

Proposed amendment

Section 2002-A (Establishment of the System)

Distinguish the applicability of statutory requirements to appropriated versus nonappropriated funds.

Section 2003-A.1 (Project Contracts)

Repeal the Separations Act as it applies to the System and its institutions.

Effect on existing law

Relieves institutions from statutory requirements, leveling the procurement playing field between State-owned and State-related institutions. Under revision, any procurement threshold would apply only to contracts procured with State-appropriated funds. Eliminates the requirement that institutions have separate prime contracts for one public construction project in the areas of general construction, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning. System institutions could therefore serve as the General Contractor for their project(s) and each of the primes contracts directly to the institution (as currently enj~yed by State-related universities)

Governance & Accountability Section

2002-A (Establishment of the System)

Section 2004-A (Board of Governors)

Section 2005-A (The Chancellor) Section 2006-A (Powers and Duties of the Board)

Proposed amendment

Affirm the system's sovereign immunity and status as a government instrumentality Limit the applicability of municipality authority to impose regulation on real property owned and titled to the system. Empower the Board to approve a corporate change; provides for a framework around which a corporate change may occur. Provide qualifications for Board members. Provide criteria around which Board members may be removed from office; require written notification. Clarify that the Board may delegate duties to the chancellor. Grant plenary power to the Board.

Effect on existing law

Fiscal Impact

y

Local regulation may only occur based upon a specific grant of authority to a municipality by the General Assembly.

y

The Board could create, expand, consolidate, transfer, dissolve or close an institution, campus, or college thereof.

y

Members appointed to the Board must have expertise or substantial experience in one or more areas: postsecondary education, business, finance, law, or public administration. Appointees could be removed by the governor or Board chair, if delegated, for misfeasance/malfeasance, as well as absenteeism and dereliction of duty. The chancellor would be further empowered to engage with and manage institutions. Governance would become more robust. The Board could, without limitation, make, issue, and enforce all board policies, procedures and standards for the full management, control and conduct of the instructional,

y


Require the advice of institution presidents. Section 2008-A (Councils of Trustees)

Provide qualifications for trustees. Shorten the term of trustees.

Section 2018_A Eliminate the consideration of the Method of General Assembly; provide a ( framework around which real Disposition) _ _ _ _ property may be disposed.

administrative and financial affairs of the system, including the disposal of real property tmed to the system; requiring institutions to share services and participate in collaborations, academic or otherwise, where appropriate; and appointing and fixing the compensation of legal counsel. The governor would consult with institution presidents in the nomination process, improving presidents' input into the selection and nomination of trustees. Trustees appointed must have expertise or substantial experience in one or more areas: postsecondary education, finance, business, law or public administration. Trustees terms would change from six years to four years, increasing the opportunity for fresh perspectives. Board policy would describe how students, faculty, staff, and alumni would have input into the process regarding the appointment and retention of institution presidents. Councils would be empowered to make dismissal recommendations without consultation. Regarding use of institutional facilities and properties, Councils would provide consultation to the president, not approval thereof. Councils would not have to conduct annual physical inspection of facilities and make recommendations regarding maintenance and construction thereof. Empower the president to negotiate and award contracts and purchases without Council approval (which is presenUy after-the-fact approval). Provides flexibility for presidents' regarding procurement threshold obligations when procuring contracts with nonappropriated funds, as well as empowers presidents to make certain recommendations or authorizations with or without consultation with the local council. Empowers the Board to approve the sale of real property titled to the system, providing flexibility to the Board to act more responsively.

Student-focused Section

Proposed amendment

Effect on existing law

Fiscal Impact

Sections 2004-A (Board of Governors} and 2008-A (Councils of Trustees) Section 2019-A (Campus Police Powers and Duties) Section 2021-A (Student Record~

We have had a successful transition to the new executive board and senate and we are already working to prepare for the fall semester. The new executive board and senate is comprised of


2 new and returning members to SGA, and with this experience from all areas of campus, we are striving to make sure that all students' voices are heard and for open communication between administrators and students.

SGA has also approved Corinne Rockefeller as the chair of the restructuring committee, which will analyze the structure of our executive board and to make any changes needed to better serve the students. I will be encouraging students to come to SGA and express their ideas, concerns, or issues they may have. Thank you. I am looking forward to meeting everyone in person. Presentations

FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER

Trustee Lautman - Welcome Dylan, to the Council. I look forward to working with you. Thank you Dr. Way for your innovation and forward thinking that has put Slippery Rock University on the map locally, regionally and nationally. Your role on the leadership team is recognized and appreciated. Thank you. Good Luck. Trustee Taylor - Many could argue that Philip Way surrendered his opportunity to be the next president in 2017 by serving in the interim capacity. For me, personally, it was remarkable to see his leadership efforts throughout the year, he kept the ship stable and kept the waters as calm as possible. We owe you a great debt of gratitude and appreciate your efforts. I would also like to complement the facilities and grounds crew. The flowers are off the charts and the campus looks beautiful. Trustee Smith - I would like to echo the comments made and wish you well, Philip. Thank you for everything you did for this University and for your leadership. Thank you for all of the personal advice about vacation spots and for being a friend . We expect you back at the dedication of Miller. Trustee Angelucci - Thank you to the staff and faculty for another great year. We appreciate everything you do for students. Trustee McCarrier - Welcome Dylan! Thank you, Philip, for the tremendous job as provost. You moved us ahead, and it was wonderful to have you as our interim president. Philip, you were an innovator and did so much for us. I am happy that you are going to be a President, but sad for SRU to lose you. Trustee Young - Congratulations Dr. Way, best wishes and good luck. Dylan, as the new student trustee, if you need anything, you can always call any one of us. It's a great day to be at SRU. Trustee Colcombe - Thank you for the warm welcome. I look forward to working with all of you. Senator White - Congratulations, Philip. Best wishes in all of your future endeavors, God speed. Welcome to the Council, Dylan. Trustee Vessella - Congratulations, Philip. Athens State University is in excellent hands.

MINUTES OF CONFERENCE CALL SPECIAL MEETING SLIPPERY ROCK UNIVERSITY COUNCIL OF TRUSTEES August 16, 2019

A special meeting of the Slippery Rock University Council of Trustees (SRU COT) convened on Friday, August 16, 2019, 2 p.m. The purpose of the meeting was to review and approve proposed naming opportunities and any other business to come before Council. Attendance: Trustees Participating: Alfonso Angelucci, Matt Lautman, Jeffrey Smith, William McCarrier, Senator Mary Jo White, Bob Taylor, Joshua Young. Trustees Not Participating: Dylan Colcombe, Suzanne Vessella, Tom Breth Public Comments There were no public comments from the audience. Discussion Chair Smith asked President Behre to present the four naming opportunities coming before Council today for review and approval. MSA has long supported Slippery Rock University, most notably with the gift of land in Cranberry Township upon which the Regional Learning Alliance is located. Total giving to date is over $2M in both monetary support and goods. In June 2019, MSA reaffirmed its commitment to support the safety management program at SRU with an in-kind gift of equipment totaling more than $77,000 and have pledged $375,000 for an additional five years. Trustee Taylor offered that he will absolutely endorse this request and offered kudos to those responsible for rekindling this important relationship. President Behre offered that Dr. Joe Cali was instrumental in renewing this relationship. Senator White shared that this is a very reputable, very community-conscious organization. Trustee McCarrier questioned is this naming for MSA significant enough for the gift they have given us. President Bel1re responded the gift matches the giving level for this building. This space is a $500,000 space, so this gift matches appropriately. Chair Smith called for a motion to approve naming the construction lab (room 113-11 JA) in the Strain Safety Building, the MSA lab.


The motion also amends the date on the naming resolution to reflect today's date. Trustee Angelucci moved, second by Senator White. Motion passes unanimously. Kokosing Construction Company, Inc., headquartered in Westerville, OH, is one of the nation's largest heavy highway construction companies located throughout the Midwest. The Safety Management Program has benefited greatly from the many years of support and through sponsorship of Slippery Rock University student internships and co-op experiences. The gift is $50,000. Chair Smith called for a motion to approve naming the second-floor student study lounge (Room 202), Strain Safety Building, the Kokosing Construction Student Study Room. This motion also amends the date of the resolution to reflect today's date. Trustee Angelucci moved, second by Senator White. Motion passes unanimously. Miller Fall Protection by Honeywell, a leader in fall protection innovation, located in Franklin PA, has provided a line of fall protection products for over 65 years. In order to ensure Slippery Rock University safety management students are educated about and trained on the latest state-of-the-art fall protection equipment. Miller Fall Protection by Honeywell has generously donated more than $30,000 in fall protection products utilized in the safety curriculum. Chair Smith called for a motion to approve naming the department chair's office (Room l 06B), Strain Safety Building, the Miller/Honeywell Department Chair's Office. The motion also amends the date on the naming resolution to reflect today's date. Trustee Taylor questioned what is the official policy naming a facility with a vendor's company name on it. President Behre shared there is no written policy, but going into a campaign this is something we certainly can address. I am happy to flush out what we need to do as we prepare for a campus campaign and put something in writing. There is not such a case in anything that we are bringing forward to you today. Ed Bucha, Executive Director, SRU Foundation, Inc. shared the Council for Advancement and Support of Education is the global association for professionals in advancement. CASE publishes standards for receipts of charitable gifts. A contract with a vendor includes specific language that a contracted gift cannot be included as a charitable gift. You cannot contract for a charitable gift. Trustee Lautman asked if this is future giving. Samantha Swift replied the equipment was received July 9 of this year. This is the reason we are bringing this naming opportunity forward today. Chair Smith called for a motion to approve naming Room l 06B, Strain Safety Building the Miller/Honeywell Department Chair's Office. This motion also amends the date of the resolution to reflect today's date.


Trustee McCarrier moved; second by Trustee Lautman. Motion carries unanimously. FirstEnergy Foundation's contributions to local nonprofit organizations help strengthen the social and economic fabric of our communities. Funded solely by FirstEnergy, the Foundation extends the corporate philosophy of providing community support. The gift totals $25,000. Chair Smith called for a motion to name Room l 05, Strain Safety Building, the FirstEnergy Foundation Safety Management Faculty Office. This motion also amends the date of the resolution to reflect today's date. Senator White moved, second by Trustee Lautman. Motion carries unanimously. President Behre thanked Council members for their time today. We appreciate your support in approving the naming opportunities. The official opening celebration of Strain Safety Building is Friday, September 27, 2019, 11 a.m. in the building. We look forward to joining you in celebrating our donors at this event. With no other business to address, the meeting adjourned. Respectfully submitted,

with being instrumental in their ability to persist as a student. Their responses document the importance of health in academic success. 60,189 contacts for clinical, health promotion, nursing outreach, portal access and phone consultations occurred during the 2018-2019 academic year. Clinical Servlces--Statistics from June 2018 through May 2019: • 17,268 visits occurred through the SHS; these visits totaled 7,215 hours of direct, "hands-on" patient care. • • •

1,067 student visits were for assistance with psychological concerns, including suicidal ideation psychiatric hospitalization, and eating disorder issues. 86 visits involved suicidal ideation; an increase of 59% for this visit type. This increase is particularly sobering as two students completed suicide this year. 67 visits were related to alcohol and drug abuse, a decrease of 37% from the prior year. This is the fourth year in a row for decreased visits related to substance abuse. Reasons for the decrease may include bystander intervention and public health messaging gaining traction among the student body.

145 Nurse Observation Area visits occurred. Mental health issues, alcohol intoxication, asthma, and gastrointestinal illness are the most common reasons for Nurse Observation Area stays.

282 emergency department referrals were made through SHS; 41 students required ambulance transportation and 32 hospital admissions occurred. •

Public Health-Managing communicable disease is a crucial part of maintaining the health of the university community. With the increased incidence of measles cases, across the nation and in Pennsylvania, a measles tabletop was created to proactively address how a measles outbreak on campus would be addressed. The tabletop should occur Fall Semester 2019. • SHS is partnering with academic departments to address the impact of the nationwide shortage of TB testing agent. Testing for tuberculosis is a mandated requirement for numerous health care clinical rotations, student teaching, internships and employment. SHS will follow CDC guidelines in judicious application of TB testing and screening. Health Promotion-From June 2018 until May 2019, the Office of Health Promotion was responsible for a total 16,956 encounters. • •

13,281 of those encounters were from direct education with students. 3,675 were from educational distribution. Step Up! Bystander Intervention training that included mental health scenarios and resources resulted in 1,717 of those encounters. This program occurs in partnership with Student Support and primarily reaches first year students during WOW. MyStudentBody, an online wellness tool provided to all incoming students, resulted in 1,653 of those encounters.

Office for Inclusive Excellence (Multicultural Development, Transitions Programs, Pride Center, Women's Center, Veterans' Center and Student Success Coaches) • Campus-wide diversity programming is underway with Hispanic Heritage Celebration, the Diversity Dialogue series, and military appreciation week.

campus community an opportunity to broaden their awareness and knowledge of various cultures. The 18th Annual Jump Start Transition program occurred August 19-22nd with 111 students participating. Over 50 upperclassmen serve as peer mentors throughout the academic year in assisting these first-year students with acclimating both academically and socially at SRU. Faculty and staff volunteer by facilitating small group workshops on academic progress, time management and personal development to the incoming freshmen. In addition, some faculty volunteered to speak to small groups of first year students entering their majors. A national search is being conduct to fill the assistant director of the Women' s Center and Pride Center. This search is planned to be successfully completed by October 1. The graduate assistant and student workers have participated in training and will begin programming for the fall semester. The Veterans Center continues to serve our military-connected students through programming with the Student Veterans of America. We also collaborate with Butler Veterans Administration to provide "Brown Bag" lunch series. Student success coaches complete their second full academic year and data shows 80% of those students who engaged with a coach were retained. These students were primarily first year with some referrals and academic warning/probation students. The four coaches have made presentations to many departments, staff and students promoting their services. They continue to process all non-medical student withdrawals, and financial aid academic plans and will provide group coaching upon request.

Residence Life • The Office of Residence Life has been in extensive training since July. The Graduate Resident Directors had budgetary, diversity, supervision, advisement, and programmatic training.
