President\u00a0John Haeger<\/strong>\u00a0discussed the upcoming Kesha concert and the opening act, Dirt Nasty. The president explained that he was disappointed in ASNAU\u2019s choice of performers and he would send a\u00a0letter to campus<\/a><\/span>\u00a0explaining the university\u2019s position on a potentially offensive entertainer. The president also said he wanted to calculate the cost of any additional security and charge it to ASNAU.<\/p>\n

The president also discussed the recent market adjustments received by more than half the university faculty and staff. Haeger left the door open for future merit increases if NAU\u2019s budget will allow for it. Regents\u2019 professor\u00a0Ray Michalowski<\/strong>\u00a0pointed out that the adjustments have caused compression issues for long-time NAU employees. The university will be examining those.<\/p>\n

Pat Haeuser<\/strong>, vice president for Budget, Planning and Institutional Effectiveness, reported that the university will request $33 million for enrollment growth and a modest $3 million for system architecture for its FY12 budget. None of the state\u2019s universities has received enrollment growth funding for three years. The president pointed out that different university funding formulas are being discussed. If adopted, the new funding formulas would be based on student success and outcomes instead of enrollment growth.<\/p>\n

The university\u2019s\u00a0master plan<\/a><\/span>\u00a0has been accepted by the Arizona Board of Regents.\u00a0Jane Kuhn<\/strong>, associate vice president for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs, said the board was \u201creally jazzed\u201d by the plan and called it a road map for future development. Kuhn also laid out some potential upcoming construction, including a 120,000-square-foot Health Sciences building, funded by SPEED monies; two public-private partnerships to build residence halls; a public-private parking garage behind the current location of the Fronske Health Center; and a rebuilt field house, which would become a multipurpose arena, funded half by the university and half by private donations.<\/p>\n

Fred Estrella<\/strong>, chief information technology officer, discussed new software available to the university to help with grants and contracts. The software is from Cayuse Inc.<\/p>\n

At the recent meeting of the\u00a0Arizona Board of Regents<\/a><\/span>, the three university presidents and the ABOR president introduced what President Haeger describes as a \u201cnew covenant with the people of Arizona.\u201d The covenant comes in form of the\u00a0Arizona Higher Education Enterprise<\/a><\/span>, a plan for realignment and restructuring of the state\u2019s higher education system.<\/p>\n

Haeger reminded cabinet members of the visit by Dennis Jones, president of the\u00a0National Center for Higher Education Management Systems<\/a>. Jones will discuss \u201cRethinking the University: Fulfilling the Mission in a Changing Environment\u201d beginning at 3:30 p.m. Nov. 1 in the High Country Conference Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
