Currently, 19.9% of all admitted freshmen are students of color, compared with 15.7% in 1992 and 9.1% in 1988.

REMARKS FROM THE PRESIDENT Progress Report - Strategic Planning Guidelines President De Lorme informed the Board that all of the colleges and departments on campus have been actively involved in examining their own programs and developing priorities that are consistent with those outlined in the strategic guidelines. Dr. De Lorme gave a detailed report on the progress made toward implementing each strategic principle/ action strategy.

They were very impressed with the progress Western has made in the past five years. 3. BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL AFFAIRS Power co- generation at Western Washington university Gary Hirsch of the Washington State Energy Office explained that co- generation is " the simultaneous production of electric power and other forms of useful energy - such as heat or process steam - from the same facility." While previously not economically feasible, the large and rapidly increasing cost differential between electricity and natural gas provide an excellent opportunity for Western to explore the feasibility of co­generation. The Board instructed the administration to begin the preparation of a formal authorization to proceed with the full feasibility study. This will be presented to the board at the July, 1993 Board meeting. 4.

Since that time, all of the colleges and departments on campus have been actively involved in examining their own programs and developing priorities that are consistent with those outlined in the strategic guidelines. I have attached a report which provides detailed information about the progress made on each strategic principle and action strategy. Overall, the University has made tremendous progress on improving quality through revision of the liberal arts options available to undergraduates, selective reorganization of departments and programs, improved access to courses and enrollment management, increased advising opportunities for students, expansion of the technological capacity on campus, and enhancement of assessment efforts. Progress on diversity includes a significant increase in the number of minority students on campus, improved methods for recruiting minority faculty, the development of a University Action Plan for Diversity, and more attention focussed on the retention and assessment of minority students. Responsibility for diversity efforts has been shifted to the Provost in order to make stronger connections with the academic core of the institution. It is anticipated that the Vice Provost for Diversity will assume more responsibility for undergraduate education next fall, thus integrating programs further. Private support for the University has continued to increase each year, as does outreach to the community. The Presidents Club includes more than 380 members and the Foundation has implemented a Parents Campaign which has raised more than $ 28,000 to support student projects.

What follows is a detailed report on the progress made toward implementing each strategic principle/ action strategy. 1. Continuing improvement in quality will be an imperative for each of the University's ongoing activities. Programs are expectedto achieve quality levels that are consistent with those of a first class university. In professionalareas, that usually will mean professional accreditation. In other areas, effective program reviews by peers serve as a significant measure of quality. • The Department of Public Safety continues to move toward WASPC accreditation through the review and updating of departmental policies and making improvements to training and staffing wherever possible. • The Geography/ Regional Planning curriculum in Huxley College will be evaluated by external reviewers during Fall quarter 1993 with goal to strengthen relationship between existing Geography/ Regional Planning programs and Environmental Studies. • The School Counseling and Mental Health Program in Psychology has completed an initial on- site accreditation review by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs and received a favorable report. 2. Continuous improvementrequires constant attention to outcomes. The quality of the degree granted by the University will be high and will be demonstrated by the characteristics, abilities, and skills ofits graduates. • The Senate's Academic Coordinating Commission ( ACC) has approved several curricular thrusts of an interdisciplinary nature and worked with the College of Arts and Sciences to design alternatives for students to fulfill their General University Requirements ( GUR's) while strengthening their liberal arts backgrounds. • Passage of the Junior Writing Examination is now mandatory and the Writing Center has been expanded to provide more writing instruction to students. • A Math Center has been established, similar to the Writing Center, to provide students with enhanced tutorial assistance in mathematics. 1 ----------xxxxx---------- Board of Trustees Minutes - April 1993 - Page 11 ----------xxxxx---------- • Fairhaven is currently designing a new Core Curriculum which will be interdisciplinary in nature and problem oriented. The college is also engaged in a research project using narrative student self- assessments and the data will be presented at a state- wide assessment conference in May. • An ongoing College of Business and Economics assessment project involves both pre- and- post testing of students and provides faculty with solid information regarding the effectiveness of instructional techniques and an external validation of the course content. • Huxley is working to revamp its curriculum to place greater emphasis on communication and critical thinking; 1994 course requirements will include courses emphasizing writing and oral communication skills. • Faculty Senate's ACC established a standing sub- committee on assessment, charged with advising the administration and the Director of Institutional Assessment on all issues of academic assessment. 3.

Western recognizes that the truly educatedperson musthave an understanding of, and expelience with, diversity. The University's approach to diversity will include people, policies and programs, and will embrace Issues related to special talent and ability; race, gender, ethnicity; sexual orientation; International Studies; and Ethnic/ Culturalstudies. • Enhancing the diversity of people and programs at the University continues to be a priority. The development of an Administrative Action Plan for Diversity is almost complete. • Students from ethnic backgrounds make up almost 10% of the student body and each fall the entering class is more diverse. The fall 1993 applicant pool is the strongest to date in terms of quantity, quality and representation of students of color. 3 ----------xxxxx---------- Board of Trustees Minutes - April 1993 - Page 13 ----------xxxxx---------- • Fairhaven, Arts and Sciences, and Woodring Colleges have all made progress on including issues of race, class, and gender in their curricula. Offerings through the American Cultural Studies program have been increased and it is being developed to serve a key role in the Northwestern Minority portion of the GUR. • The Colleges are actively working to develop innovative ways to recruit ethnic faculty, including using adjunct faculty and working with professional ethnic organizations to identify potential faculty members.

The quality of co- curricular programs, which include those aspects of a student's educational experience that lie outside the traditional classroom, will be ensured by focusing on key elements. • Support for student volunteerism has expanded on campus. More academic units have implemented courses which include some type of internship, practicum, or volunteer activity. 4 I I' I { L ----------xxxxx---------- Board of Trustees Minutes - April 1993 - Page 14 ----------xxxxx---------- • Established a Community Service Advisory Board to advise the President on issues related to student vo/ unteerism. • The Faculty Senate adopted a set of guidelines for Senate committees to ensure that students are afforded equal participation on those committees and mentoring from committee chairs. 7.
