Board of Control OK's Plan to Boost Enrollment
The Board of Control authorized the University to begin spending approximately $1 million to start up five programs designed to boost enrollment.
The first is a "First-Year Success Initiative," with the goal of increasing undergraduate retention from the current 75 percent to 85 percent by 2006. Cost of the program would be about $1 million over the next five years. If retention increases to 82 percent, revenues will increase by $4.3 million. Over the next five years, the programs would cost about $10 million and result in a revenue increase of $16 million.
Among its provisions, the program would support UN1000 Frameworks for Success, which teaches college survival skills. To get students in the right math class, a better placement program would be implemented. Enhanced advising for both academic and social concerns would be undertaken to cement students' connection with the University. And a program to better reach students who are in academic trouble would be implemented.
To boost undergraduate admissions, the University would implement the marketing recommendations of their consultant, Noel-Levitz, with the goal of increasing freshman and transfer enrollment from 1,434 to 1,600. The cost over the first five years would be $1.6 million, with revenues from enrollment increases estimated at $3.7 million.
To raise graduate enrollment, the Board agreed to provide Vision Fund support to a proposal by the Graduate Faculty Council and the Graduate School. In addition to adding $140,000 to the School's budget for student recruiting, the proposal improves grad student stipends and health benefits at an annual cost of $245,000. The five-year cost of the program is $2.7 million, compared to an increase in revenues of about $2.1 million in tuition.
Fulfilling the Board's directive to "sell our hot majors," such as computer engineering, biomedical engineering, computer science, MIS, bioinformatics and mechanical engineering, Provost Kent Wray recommended increasing the number of faculty lines in high-demand areas and support departments based on the net tuition revenue derived from new enrollment. As planned, revenue would exceed the cost by $200,000 annually.
The Board also approved spending $25,000 to $50,000 for an image assessment review of the University's current market position. Approval was also given to establish a $200,000 budget for institutional advertising and image enhancement.
Board Member Rodger Kershner expressed concern over the cost of the package. "It's a well thought-out effort," he said. "My concern is how we pay for it."
Interim CFO and treasurer Dan Greenlee said the new spending will affect cash flow, he said, but not drastically.
"You're digging a hole to get out of a hole," Kershner said, noting that the revenue projections could not be guaranteed.
"This Board told Kent he had to increase enrollment and increase marketing and don't spend any money," Board Member Kathryn Clark said "It can't be done. . . . To say it's a great idea but to find the money in the existing budget is cutting him off at the knees."
Gary Anderson, president of the Michigan Tech Fund Board of Trustees, argued in favor of the measures. "The reason we're having financial problems is because we don't have enough students," he said. "You can't cut your way to success." And even if the revenue projections aren't met, the measures will almost assuredly increase enrollment somewhat. "I can't believe this would result in a $1 million loss."
The University is currently operating on a deficit budget, and is on track to end the year about $3.8 million in the red, compared to the $4.1 million anticipated in the FY2002 budget, Greenlee reported. He noted that travel expenses have dropped 20 percent and that salaries and wages are also down, largely because of position review and a number of early MPSERS retirements. "It looks like we're on track with the budget," he said.
The Board agreed to spend $500,000 to remodel ME-EM 111 into a distance-learning classroom, with revenues from the distance learning program to be used to reimburse the University. The facility should be paid off in a little more than a year, Graduate Dean Bruce Rafert said.

Vision Fund Grant Recipients Announced
Provost Kent Wray announced the recipients of Vision Fund grants March 15 to the Board of Control.
The proposals will be supported through the Michigan Tech Fund's Vision Fund and were chosen based in large part on how well they advance the the University's strategic plan (see http://www.mtu.edu/stratplan/ ). For more detailed information on the proposals, see http://www.mtu.edu/stratplan/proposal_11.html.
The project leaders and their proposals are
In addition, Wray backed a recommendation from the committee investigating the merger of the School of Technology and the College of Engineering: the creation of a BS in Computer Systems Administration. He cited the high demand for system administrators and noted that no institutions currently offer a four-year degree in the field. The program could begin in fall 2003 and would involve adding two faculty lines at a cost of about $85,000 each. Where the degree program would be located has not yet been decided.

MTU to Apply for Federal Grant to Build SmartZone Complex
The Board of Control voted March 15 to allow the University to apply for a $2.47 million grant from the U. S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration. If received, the grant would partially fund the construction of a building to house major student projects and to serve as a business incubator for the Michigan Tech EnterPrise SmartZone.
Total construction costs are estimated at $3.5 million. In addition to the $2.47 million in possible grant funding, approximately $1 million in corporate pledges are now in place to support construction. The Board of Control capped building costs at $4 million, should the University proceed with the project, and specified that only non-University funds be used.
The facility, which would be known as the Advanced Technology Development Complex, would provide space for student design activities that may involve developing products or participating in vehicle competitions such as FutureTruck and FormulaCar. The center would be located on Michigan Tech and at the corner of Sharon Avenue and Garnet Street.
The building would also serve as a business incubator for the SmartZone, a joint project of the University and the cities of Hancock and Houghton. The SmartZone, which captures certain state taxes, has the goal of creating or attracting more than 500 science and engineering jobs to the area.
The business incubator will provide shared office support, fast Internet connections and shared office equipment. It will also include space for business service providers, such as organizations that provide marketing support, business plan development and other planning functions.
If the EDA grant is approved, construction could begin as soon as the end of 2002.
The Michigan Tech Lode has received the 2002 College Media Advisers' Apple Award for the Best Four-Year, Non-Daily Broadsheet in the United States. The award was presented March 16 at the National College Media Convention in New York City. Representing the Lode at the convention were Editor in Chief Lori Sprangers, Business Manager Josh Tolk, Associate Editor in Chief Andrew Dobos, Associate Business Manager Lisa Hoernlein, Co-News Editor Emily Fossum and Design Editor Sharif Wilson.
"This award is a testament to the hard work of our 80-plus Lode staff, to the leadership of the editorial and management staff and to the quality and versatility of Michigan Tech students," Lode faculty advisor Craig Waddell said. "It's particularly noteworthy that this award has been earned by a university that doesn't have a school of journalism, doesn't have a department of journalism and doesn't even have a major in journalism."
The Lode has improved dramatically over the past three years, and this improvement has already been recognized at the local and state level. In 2000, the Lode was voted Michigan Tech's Most Improved Student Organization, and in 2001, the Lode was voted Michigan Tech's Student Organization of the Year.
In January, the Lode won 12 awards in the Michigan Press Association's 2001 College Newspaper Contest for Division II.

Departments: Send Donation Checks to the Tech Fund
by Jason Bauer
The Michigan Tech Fund is always working hard to make sure donors are totally satisfied during every part of the donation process. Keeping donors happy is crucial to keeping the level of support to your department as high as it can be.
One way you can help is by sending any donation checks that your department receives to the Tech Fund as soon as possible. By promptly sending them your checks, they can be processed immediately, yielding benefits for both the donor and department.
Processing all gifts in a timely manner is crucial to nurturing the goodwill of donors. The Tech Fund sends out a receipt and thank you letter for each and every donation received. But, if they do not have the check, they can't send a thank you letter. Many people also watch their account statements to be sure a check has cleared. If the Tech Fund does not receive the check, the check does not clear and the donor may become concerned or offended.
Your department will also benefit from promptly sending checks. The sooner the Tech Fund receives the money, the sooner it may be put to use or start earning interest. Also, fund managers will be able to have a more accurate look at how much they have available in their accounts. This will lead to more efficient use of funds.
Thank you to everyone for doing those little things that allow the Michigan Tech Fund to serve the University and its donors even better.
Clean Your Shelves: Donate to the Book Sale

Teaching at Tech: Strategic Grading
By William Kennedy, director, Center for Teaching, Learning and Faculty Development
The U.S. Supreme Court recently deliberated over whether it is okay for grade school teachers to have students trade papers to grade one another's work before passing it in. Heart be still. It turns out that it's okay.
Want to pick a fight with a group of academics? Just express your personal views on the subject of grading. Grading remains one of the most controversial and least enjoyable parts of a college professor's job. How many times have you heard yourself saying, "The grade's not the important thing; it's whether you are learning that really counts." If a cartoon bubble of their most likely response would appear over their heads, it would read something like, "Oh, yeah, then why is it that the only lasting record of earthly existence over these four years of my life will be a piece of paper listing courses and grades?"
Paul Ramsden, John Biggs and others from the Australian higher education research community have long observed that, from a student's perspective, grades are the only lasting, legitimate currency of higher education. Why should we be surprised that grades are first and foremost in the minds of many students? In grade school (no pun intended), students are sorted by grades from the very beginning. Around sixth or seventh grade, there comes a fateful day when someone in authority makes a judgment that will profoundly affect each students' career options, income levels and even the opportunities available to their children. That fateful decision involves the determination of which math sequence you will take. When I was in grade school, there were only two tracks: college prep and shop math. Nowadays, there seem to be three: whiz kid math, whiz kid math at half the pace and math for the millions. Regardless of the labels, the result is the same. Whiz kids are fast-tracked to be admitted to colleges AP credit in hand, half-speed whiz kids might go either way and most math-for-millions kids will most likely follow a trade and work by the hour. And as a consequence of this decision, some will be destined to have careers, while others will have jobs. Some will manage their portfolios while others will struggle to make ends meet. The point is, aphorisms and palliatives aside, grades really do matter, and that simple lesson is learned by most students very early on.
The two major rationales for grading students are expressed by the terms summative and formative. Summative grading is the process of the sorting of students into groups by their relative performance on tests. Summative grading serves a number of university stakeholders' purposes. Students might like to know how their performance compares with their peers'. Parents want to know how well their kids are doing in college. Future employers want to know how well their potential employees mastered their lessons.
Formative grading, on the other hand, is fundamentally motivational. The teacher gives the students a quiz to find out where they are in terms of understanding and mastery. The point of the testing is not to sort or label students, but to give them and the teacher feedback so both partners can change their behavior to improve student learning during the rest of the course.
If Ramsden, Biggs,and others are right, then we ought to review our grading policies and procedures to see if they encourage our students to do the very things that will maximize their learning while improving their grades. If you made a prioritized list of what things your students actually need to do to increase the depth of their learning, would it be reflected by the ways you determine their course grades? Is faithfully doing the homework key to mastery in your course? Then, what percent of your grades are determined by students who engage in those desired behaviors: 5-10 percent? Perhaps we place too much emphasis on the final exam period when we know students are cramming their heads full of information for three or four finals in a one-week period. If we allow that student effort is motivated by grade achievement, then we ought to judiciously expend our primary motivational ammunition wisely.

Physicist Explains the Elegant Universe
Submitted by University Cultural Enrichment
Questions about what the universe is made of, how it began and how it got to be the way it is have puzzled scientists and laypeople for centuries. Brian Greene believes he may have the answer. A professor in the departments of physics and mathematics at Columbia University, a graduate of Harvard University and a former Rhodes Scholar, he's been called the next Carl Sagan. USA Today describes him as "one of the hottest tickets in science." Greene, a leading physicist and string theorist, will be visiting the Rozsa Center on Tuesday, March 26 to give an 8 p.m. lecture titled "The Elegant Universe." The lecture is free and open to the public.
Well known on the campus lecture circuit as a riveting public speaker, Greene has an amazing knack of explaining complex, cutting-edge concepts in simple terms that are understandable to even the most extreme science phobes. Using straight-forward comparisons, video animation and entertaining anecdotes, Greene takes his audiences on a journey through hidden dimensions, superstrings and black holes in a quest to unify all the laws of nature. He recounts how the theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics transformed our understanding of the universe, and he goes on to introduce string theory, a concept that may be the key to a unified theory of the universe. He vividly describes the vigorous work of physicists and mathematicians developing string theory, the exciting discoveries that have been made, and the mysteries yet to be uncovered that will revolutionize our understanding of space, time, and matter.
Greene is the author of the bestseller "The Elegant Universe," which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in General Non-Fiction and was on the New York Times bestseller list for over six months. There were three additional printings in the first month after publication, a phenomenon almost unheard of for a non-fiction work. The book, which drew raves from critics and the scientific community alike, explains string theory, which could possibly be the biggest science breakthrough since Einstein's work. According to Greene and other physicists who have worked in the field, the smallest and most basic unit of all matter is not an atom, electron, quark or any other particle, but a little loop of string, "tiny vibrating loops of energy," explains Greene. "All the different types of particles and forces are made of these strings, simply vibrating in different ways." String theory has been called the "theory of everything" and "the final theory," even though some physicists question whether it has any validity at all.
Greene is a former Harvard athlete, a member of the Oxford judo team, an amateur actor, a Star Trek fan, a dialogue writer for John Lithgow's character in "3rd Rock from the Sun," and likes to dress in New York black chic. This description may not fit the stereotype of a brilliant research physicist, but Greene's work and that of other scientists working in the field is undeniably important, and the scientific community is paying close attention.
Greene's visit to Michigan Tech is sponsored by the James and Margaret Black Endowment and the Committee for Campus Enrichment. For further information contact the Great Events Series Office (487-2844).
