TNTRODUCTTON OF RESOLUTTONS \-, No resolutions wete introduced. UPDATE ON CAMPUS CONSTRUCTIONAND RENOVATION Executive Vice Ptesident and Treasurer Louis H. Kala- distributed a written report providing detailed infotmation concerning proiects underway on the Foggy Bottom, Mount Vemon, and Yfuginia campuses. Vice Ptesident Katz bdefly reviewed matetial presented in the rcport befote invitrng questions. The reporq which is enclosed, includes infonnatioll 61 irnplementation of the 2fi)7 Foggy Bottom Campus Plan, tedevelopment of Square 54 (the old Hospital site), and basic infotmation and pmiect milestones peftaining to the proposed Science and Engineedng Complex on Squate 55. The relrcrt also details GW's continuing public/private partnership with the District of Columbia's School Without Walls, which has resulted in the modernization and irnprovement of the School's facilities and construction of a new GW residence hall on F Street behind the School. Progress on the renovation of GW's Smith Centet, to be funded by a genetous $10 rnilli6l challenge giant ftom the Smith and Kogcd families, is also contained in the report. On the Mount Yernon campus, the redevelopment cf Feihasr I{a!l is u::derway, aad an Epate to the plan i+r that campus is ia prccess. At the Vitginia Science and TechnologSr Campus in Loudoun County, Yirginia, an overall facility pia:a f+r r-he ca-rnpus, cn r,'hich thcee buildings have 'eeen ccnsi:ucte4 be finalized !n =,=l! 2$iii. v Faculty Senate Minutes, November 13,2009 Prge2 Discussion followed. Pmfessot Cotdes said it was his undemanding that with all of the building taking place, the goal is to move existing parking underground ot create new underground spaces. He asked roughly how many spaces that would involve. Yice President l(atz rcsponded that pa*ing requitements are part of the Univesiqfs 20 year Qampus Plan and the Univesiqfs comrnitnent to the City is to provide fot pa*ing below gmde. The University Parking Garage prospectively slated fot demolition if the new Science and Engineering Complex (SEC) on Square 55 is constnrcted holds mughly 1250 spaces. These 1250 spaces will need to be redistributed on campus. Appoximately 250 to 300 below-gade slxrces could be provided on the Squate 55 site. On Square 54, approximately 362 spaces are now completed but they will not be usable until the building is finished- These will be owned and opemted by G\tr fot ovemll University use. The newly constructed residence ha[, South HaIl, has 178 spaces. The Univercity is currently looki.g at the feasibility of consuuctirg a building on G Stneet which ultimately will be a law leaming center. Apprcximately 3fi) spaces could be provided at this site. Between these spaces and other proiects that will come on line, combined with the use of valet pa*ing and the manner in which Kennedy Centet parking is used, Yice Ptesidert K^a said he believed there would be adequate pa*ing. To go forwatd with any ptoiec! a plan must be submitted to the District of Columbia which demoosttates that the Univetsity has the means to provide parking. Ptofessor Sirnon noted that the Univercity has a contract to ptovide roughly 350 spaces fot hospital and s^.aff personnel Ffowever, it is not clear where patients will parlq and it is not feasible for most of them to park on G Street and walk to the Hospital from there. Y-ice President Katz responded thaq overait the University has an inventory of some 31000 patking spaces and there are no longer waiting lists for people requesting campus patking. The future use of c^rmFre pa*ing spaces will be assigned in the most sensible 'E'ay as they become available. Ptofessor Wilmarth noted that the time for final consideration and approval of the SEC proiect by the Board of Trustees has appatently been moved from M"y, 2010 to October 2010. Professor Wilmarth also asked whether Vice President Katz could shate the basic cost and funding pararneters for the ptoject. Vice President Katz rcsponded that the date has not changed- The information rcquested by Ptofessor Wilmarth will need to be made available to the Board before they approve the proiect Professor Wilmarth exptessed his great concern that if the Administration does not ptovide information about the proiected costs and funding for the SEC to the Faculty Senate until the summer of 2010, when many faculty are otherqdse engaged or after September 1, 2010, therc would not be adequate time for the Senate to analyze the information and provide constructive feedback to the Administration before the Board of Trustees considers the proiect in Octobet 2010. The Faculty Senate has worked with the Administration since May2009to ensure that the Faculty Senate is given an adequate oppornrnity to consult with t?o c.X'-?ie Adrninistation and provide its views with regard to plann;r,g for the SEC, especially - since the SEC would be the largest and most costly building proiect ever undertaken by the 17u7'-.\ Unirersity. Professor Wilmarth added that he expected the Administmtion to ptovide ';n.nlc' meaningfrrl advance notice with tegard to cost and funding issues for the SEC so the Senate cGuld provide advice and consul*.ation on this matter, in accordance with ptovisions of t&e Ccrie. Faculty ^ f,'aculty Senate Minutes, November 13r 2009 Page 3 Professor Parsons noted that The l{atchef recently cited $3fi) rnillion as the ptoiected cost of the SEC, mther than the $250 rnillion mentioned in the past. Vice \-. President Katz rcsponded that this figure had not been obtained from the administation, and the final cost of the SEC has not yet been determined. What is knovrn is how much space can be built on Square 55. While the whole site will be builq the initial size of the building will depend upon the needs of the University and on its ability to fund the ptoiect. Anottrer factot influencing the final cost estimate is the fact this is a god tirne to construct buildings, as the Univercity is orpedenci.g a 2A to 25% savings in construction costs. Ptobably the biggest frctor in the cost of the building will be how much will be built out initially, and that has not been determined. For example, with a floot plate of 50,fi)0 squane feeq the envelope of the building could be constructed, but if trro floots (1001000 square feet) were not built oug then his would chaoge the building budget significantly. Professot Patsons asked when cost infomation might become available. Seniot Associate Vice Ptesident Alicia ONeil tesponded that the benchmarking and ptogramming phase of the ptoiect has begun, and is expected to be completed toward the end of January ot the beginning of Februaly 2010. That will provide a clearer picnre of the lrctential size and use of the SEC, depending upon the needs identified. Cost compadsons of benchrnatked poiece can then be made. While the ptoiect concept will certainly change betrveen Febnraty and the desiga/building phase in Septembet 2010, this is the ti",eline that is berng followed. Professot Parcons also inquired hovr fundmising and funding planning could be accomplished when a new Vice Prcsident fot f),evelopment has not yet been hircd- Vice Prcsident Katz rcsponded that aa active search is underway to fill this position. Given the impottance of providing information on fundi.g the SEC ptoiect to the Board of Trustees, it is possible that an intetim ieport will have to be provided in Octobet, \- but the goal is to ptesent a complete rcport. He added that this information would be provided ahead of time to the Senate, and would not be a suqrdse. Ptofessot Griffith asked about the general procedure to be followed during the benchrnatking and ptogramming stages of SEC Senior Associate Yice President O'Neil rcsponded that Ballinget Architects has been retained to perfonn this work and has started initial interviews sn sarnpus. $allinget is a firrn that has designed a number of buildings like the SEC, and it is eqrected they will be on campus eve{y other weelg mee 'ng with a number of Deans, chairs of departments that have been identified, and members of the Administration. As the ptocess unfolds, forums will be held so that faculty can provide input into the ptocess. Each ptoiect 16a1 Ssllinger has desigaed has been differcnt depending upon the patticulat needs of the instinrtiond clieng aad the fitm is very cornrnitted to faculty, as well as student, input. Professor Wilmarth obsenred that when the SEC ptoiect was initially proposed the Administtation stated thata maiot reason fot building the SEC was to replace Gw's existing science teaching and labomtory facilities for undergmduate and graduate studene, which the Administration described as woefuIly inadequate. FIe asked whethet the Adminisuation has teached .oy tentative conclusions about the numbet of sciencs lsashing and labotatoty facilities that will be included in the SEC. In addition, if the Adminisration does not intend to use the SEC to satisfy the generally-accepted need for new science 16a6hing and labcratory facilities fot students, he asked rrhether the Adminis+ratiaa has formulated cosstrr:ction and fun.ling Platrs to renoyate existing facilities to bring them Ep to Cate. Yice Faculty Senate Minutes, November 13r 2009 Page 4 President Lehman responded that there a number of buildings, such as Cotcoran, Samson, Bell, and Tompkins Halls, where facilities, if renovated, would provide very satisfactory additional acadernic space. Construction of the SEC could also free up space in the Academic Center for use by Arts and Sciences departments. A bettet idea of what can be accomplished rclative to existi.g space can be developed as the bencht',atking and progammitrg pnocess moves forwatd. Professor Bamhill asked to what erftent alumni and ftiends of the Univercity have indicated interest in supportiog the SEC proiect financially, and to what extent facilities ate berng planned that would enhance the Univesiqfs ability to compete for sponsored research proiects and generate money over time to support the facility. Responding to the second question firct, Vice Prcsident Katz said that, in otdet fot GW to achieve its rcseatch goals, it is absolutely cdtical to imptove significantly the amount and type of rcseatch space on all of GWs campuses. Research underway at the Univercity will continue and incrcase. Gtoq,th in indirect cost recoveries ftom the incteased amount of rcseatch made possible by the new SEC facility will be a vety significant factor in moving the proiect forward. In terms of support from GW friends and alumni, a task fotce compdsed of Boad membets and alumni from various schools has engaged these groups and they are ve{y interested in the proiect. They undetstand the critical importance of the SEC to the individual schools and the University. Although cornrnitrnents ane not nos, in hand Vice President Kau said that a very good dialogue has been undetway fot some time, and as the proiect and the dialogue further develop, he believes that maior commitments will be the result. Professor Wilmath rcitemted his point thaq if GW is gorng to atttact the very best undergraduate and gmduate students, the Univetsity needs to offet adequate science rcaching facilities. He added that he would be disappointed if the SEC becomes primadly a sponsoted tesearch facility and does not addtess the prcblems posed by inadequate existing teaching facilities for science. Paying for the SEC ptoiect will rcquire an enotmous financial commitmenq and the necessary funding sources have not yet been identified. If exist'qg facilities have to be renovated to ptovide the necessary irnprcvements to the Universiqfs science 16zshing facilities, that rcnovation will require significant additional funds. Given the cap on enrolltnents at ttre Univetsiqfs Foggy Bottom srrnpusl which limits the Universiq/s ability to taise additiond tuition dollats, it is not cleat hour the Univetsity could pay for renovated lsa6hing facilities in addition to the SEC. Vice Prcsident Katz responded that it is fully undestood by everyone involved in the planning ptocess that a maiot goal of the SEC proiect is to integtate teaching and rcsearch at the uadetgmduate and gmduate levels. Ptofessot Biles asked if thete is a commit ent to move all of the cuffent faculty from the Columbian College science departments into the SEC. Vice Ptesident Kau said that no such decisions have been made at this iunctue, but goit g fotward in the ptanning process, a clearer pictrre will emerge. Prcfessor Garcia inquired about when these decisions might be made, Vice Ptesident Katz rcsponded that the benchmatking and ptogamming process will deterrnine the optimal ctiteda to be used in detetmining who will occupy the buildi.g nw and wherc they will be located. Vice President Iehrnan noted that, as buildings have been constructed and come snlin6 en sarnpus, they tend to fill.rp virhnlly irntnediately. It is desitable to have room to orpand as needs and ptogtams evolve. Faculty Senate Minutes, November 13,2009 Page 5 Professor Simon asked if a cerain pcrcentage of the funds required for the SEC would have to be obtained befote gonry ahead with the proiect Vice Ptesident Katz confirrred that thete is no tatget percentage. The ovemll financing plan for the building is \-. not complete and its impact on the ovemll olrctations of the Univercity prime ^te ^ considemtion. Ptofessot Bamhill said the SEC proiect would be an impnessive commitment to fiscal capital and facilities. He asked if thete is a compenisl plan rcgading s6rnmitmsnts in terrns of growing human capital in the science areas that would facilitate a substantial expansion in sponsoted teseatch and ptomote successful competition on a global scale. Vice President Lehman replied in the affirmative, saying that serretal yeats ago he had developed a plan for reseatch which included thtee comlxlnents: space, student financial supporq and incrcasiog the numbet of faculty. That plan has been discussed with the Ptesidenq Vice President l(ara, and the Academic Afiairs Qsmmittee of the Board of Tnrstees, and is evolving as part of the frrndmising goals for each of the deans. EUDGET AND FINAhICE UPDATE Professor Joseph Cordes, Chait of the Fiscal Planning and Budgel'og Cornrnittee (FP&B), prcsented a Univercity budget oveniew covedng operating tesults and the balance sheet for Fiscal Yeat 2009. He also teported on the approved budget fot Fiscal yeat 2010, includi.g a firct quartff 2010 budget revision, and broadet budget issues. (fhe report disttibuted at the meeting is enclosed.) Budgeted versus actual rcsults fot the FY '(X) opetating budget (excluding the Medical Center) are presented on p?ge 2 of the rcport on the Univetsity Opemt ng Budget \-, FY $9 Medicd Center budget rcsults from the Report to the GV Boad of Trustees in May, 2009 can also be found on the same page. Accotding to the infotmation given, total revenues exceeded exp€nses by $20.3 million; however, when combined with a decrease in net assets of $20.l rnilliorn, only a small opetating sur;rlus rcmained. Differences between actual and budgeted exlrenses and net assets, dong with an explanation of $9.0 rnillisl in changes to net assets are pfesented on p4ges 4 and 5 of the report. Information presented to the GV Board of Trustees on financial tesults including the consolidarcd balance sheeq cash assets, endowment returns, physical properties, debt, bond covenant ratios, research funding, and fundaising (excluding affiliates) is set forth on pages 5 through 9 of the report Information presented to the Board of Trustees in May 2(X)9 concerning the FY *10 budget and a rcvised budget fotecast (based on first quarter 2010 results), including changes in net assets, is set forth on pages 10 and 11 of the rcport. The infonnation provided indicates that overalt revenue is expected once again to exceed expenses (by $La rniltisrl) but this opemting suqrlus when combined with a dectease in net assets of $31.5 million, will result in a slight deficit. Professor Cordes concluded his tepot by commenting on brcader budget issues going fotwatd. As everyone knows, there is a ceiling on Foggy Bottom enrorllrnene, which limits the ability of the Univercity to mise additional tuition revenues here. This yeat's fuIl- time equivalent (FTE) count came in iust 60 FTE's under the cap. While fall 2010 Faculty Senate Minutes, November 13' 2009 Page 6 application numbers appeff to be on taclq some f"itly catefuI entollrnent planning will still have to be done at the school level to avoid orceedi.g the enrollmell 66iling fot next year. As already discussed, with benchmarking and ptogramtning studies underway fot the SEC ptoiecq better infotmation is expected early in 2010. Professor Cotdes said he thought it would be a good idea to tepeat the exetcise conducted last yeat by the FP&B Committee to examine this information. Professor Cordes said he thought it would be useftrl for the FP&B Committee to report in more detail on the Universiqfs Capital Budget in the future. This is a separate budget which rclates to the Opeating Budgeg especially since capital proiects will almost always generate expense items such as mandatory and debt service payments and opetatrng expe0ses that must be coveted. Finally, President Knapp has announced a $60 million initiative which has three components: incteasi.g philanthropy, and 6s1afulfuhing an Innovation Task Fotce which will ommine ways in which to genemte resources thrcugh changes in l6aghing and business processes. The Task Force Steedng Cotnmittee is headed by Associate Vice Prcsident D. Jeft.y Lenn, who will be repoming to the FP&B Committee at its meeting on Decembet 4, and he will ptovide rcgular updates as the Task Force work continues. Discussion followed. Ptofessor Gdtrth said that he thought that an explomtion of the Universiq/s total amount aad use of reserve funds would be relevant and usefuL Professor Cotdes confitmed that the FP&B Committee would study the issue this year. Vice President Katz said that ovetall reseffes are in the $2fi) million range, approximately. In generat the Univemiqfs rcsenes have been increasing each yeat and this has been one of the factots that has irnptoved the overall cash position of the institution. He noted that the individual schools are now allowed to carrlr forward unused funds, so they too, are buildiry cash tesenres. A short discussion follos,ed about Univemity and Medical Center reserves. Prcfessot Cotdes noted that seveml years ago, resenres were not used to cover prciected budget gaps [but mthet teductions in olrcrating eKpenses were made, fot exatnple, by delaytng or suspendiag faculty and staffsalary increasesl. That policy 6as ghanged over the past couple ofyears. Prcfessot Bamhill asked if information is available about how much liquidity is needed from an operational standpoinl He also inquiaed if there is a forward-looking capital budgeting plan that is integrated with some kind of operating plan, and if Yice Prcsident Katz had an idea whete extra liquidity might ultimately be utilized ovet the next few yeats. Yice President Katz confirmed therc is an overall plan in place which is updated on a quartedy basis as new infotmation becomes available. Oveta[ managrng the Univetsity on a liquidity basis has senred it well for ovet a decade, and GV has been able to avoid problems now confronting other educational institutions that have not done so. Over $3fi) million in capital proiects have been financed usirg the liquidity of the Univercity, and the plan is to continue to do so. Vice President Katz said he felt comfortable that the University has adequate liquidity based on the tirning of proiects that have been formally apprcved by the Boatd and the institution does not need additional liquidity at this iunctute. Faculty Senate Minutes, November 13r 2009 Page 7 Furthet discussion followed between Professor Cordes, and Vice Ptesident Kaa. Ptofessot Wilmarth inquired about salary incteases fot next yeat. Vice Prcsident l-ehman indicated that the salary pool fot faculty and staff is 40 for next year, to be distributed \- totally and completely on medt The ptocess is underway and approvals have been issued. Notification to recipients will followvery soon. Ptofessot Bamhill asked about the matudty stnrcture of the Univetsiqfs extemd debt. Without exact figures beforc hirn, Vice President Katz said he thought the debt approximated $9fi) rnillion. A little ovet $7fi) million is fixed rate, some for tenns as long as 30 years. J[6 fuulk of the debt involves tenTear balloon payments, and Yice Prcsident Katz said he thought the University has adequate resorrces to deal with these pa)rments as they become due. One change in the manner in which the Univerciqfs debt is handled is a shift over recent yeats from largely vadable tate debt to fixed rate debt Ptofessot Simon inqufued about the present discount rate and whether the University utilizes rcIling adrnissions. Vice Prcsident L,ehrnan said that the discount mte fot undergmduates is apptoximately 37oh, and fot graduate students, approximately lloh. Thie undergtaduate discount rate is viewed as a tempora{y response to the obviously q761s6ning financial citcu,'rstances of families, but as repoted by Senior Vice President Chemak to the FP&B Committee, this is not expgcted to be sustainable in the long run. GENERAL BUSINESS I. NOMINATIONS FOR ELECTION TO SENATE STAI{DING COMMITTEES On behalf of Faculty Senate Executive Cotnrnittee Chair Robinson, who was absent \- from the meeting due to a ptofessional commitmenq Professot Wirtz moved the nornirration of the following faculty memberc to the Appointmen! Salary, and Ptomotion Policies Committee: Loden C. Abroms, Shivrai'Kanuogo, Maqgaret M. Placlq and Moses S. Schanfield. All of the norninatioos were apptoved. U. REPORT OF THE E)(ECUTTVE COMMITTEE Prcfessot Wire presented the Report of the Executive Committee, which is enclosed- AIso enclosed is the Faculty Senate Report prcsented to the Academic Afiai$ Qornmi6s6 6f the Board of Trustees at its meeting in October 2fi)9. UI. CTIAIRS REMARKS Vice Ftesident Lehrnan said he hoped that weryone has had an opportunity to look at the nest GW Todaypottion of the Univercity Website, which features information about campns nevvs and events. GV Today now also caries memoriam infotmation concerning memberc of the Univercity who have passed away. Yice President khman also echoed a point made by Professot Cordes conceming entollments and the need for cateful ptanning in this area. Proiections fot the freshman class, continui.g undergtaduates and transfes, and graduate students will have to be catefully balanced in otdet to avoid exceedi.g fi16 6lslllrnent ceiling. Last year, laboratory space at the Mount Yemon carnpus was nenovated and the Forensic Sciences department Faculty Senate Minutes, November 13r 2009 Page 8 was moved therc. This saved ovet 70 FfE slots at the Foggy Bottom samPusl which was fortunate in that the Univetsity FTE count came within 60 of the cap. lguivalent BRIEF STATEMENTS (AND QUESTIONS) Professot Plack asked how students rcgistercd fot intetnships but not otherwise present on the Foggly Bottom campus were corurted when cdculating the frrll-tirne equivalent enrollment figures. Yice President khrnan tesponded that the enrollment .6ilingr or capr applies to students enrolled at the Medical Center. The ctedit houts of students rcgistered in every Foggy Bottom ptogram must be counted. Fot gmduate students, the full time equivalent consists of 9 crcdit houts, fot undetgtaduatesr 12. If entite programs, including faculty, were moved off carnpusr then those enrollrnents would not count against the Foggy Bottomcap. Ptofessor Wirtz inquircd about how the cap perains to students in snrdy abrcad programs. Vice Prcsident Lchman rcsponded that students tegistercd fot study abtoad do not corurt against the Foggy Bottom cap. The University has wotked for several yeanl to increase the numbet of students in these progftuns, and to distribute these tegistmtions as equally as possible between the fall and spring semesterc. The numbet of students studyiog abroad is now ovet 1r0(X) and GW is one of the institutions with the highest numbet of these students nationally. Professor Dickson noted that a report on enecutive salades included with the minutes of the May 2fi)9 Senate mee'{g teveded that formet Univercity Prcsident Trachtenberg's total compensation in his last yeat as president amounted to almost $3.6 million. This story was also covered by The llatchet, The Vashington Post, and The Chnnicle of EIighu Educatioa. He asked if thete was any explanation fot such a genenous comperrcation package. Vice President Lehrnan responded and said he could not pnovide a complete explanation for the compensation package, but that it contained at least two components, defetted comlrcnsation accumulated over 19 yeats of sewice, and something having to do with defered sabbatical payment(s). Prcfessot Kleren said he thought that The Washingtoa Post rcWrted that ia President Ttachtenberg's initial contact, he teceived an amount of money each year to comp€f,sate for the fact that he was not b"fng a house here, but was tequired to live in Univetsity housing. According to The Pos4, these futrds were provided so that he could b.ry a house at a latet date.
