4) Proposed Final Plans and Authorization to Aw ard Contracts, Old MainRenovations, University Park
Old Main is an historic icon and is one of the most recognized symbols of Penn State.It was designed in 1929 by Charles Klauder, a nationally recognized architect ofacademic buildings. It is widely considered one of his finest works. Old Main wasadded to the National Registry of Historic Places in 1981.
The majority of Klauder's original design is still intact today, due to the University'scareful maintenance and appreciation for the building's design excellence. However,over the past 82 years, normal wear and deterioration, as well as necessaryrenovations to accommodate changes in use, have compromised preservation ofsome of the building's original features. Utility infrastructure replacements andupgrades are necessary now to avoid critical failures in the building's heating andplumbing systems. Inadequate temperature and humidity control in the lobby hasbeen the main source of long-term deterioration to the frescoes.

The proposal to drop the Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Counselor of Education in theCollege of Education was approved by the Graduate Council at its September 19, 2012 meeting.
The degree has had minimal to no enrollment over the past 10 years, while the M.Ed. degree inCounselor Education has had consistently strong and growing enrollment. In addition to our ownjudgment to cancel the M.S. degree, the Academic Program and Administrative Services CoreCouncil has also supported this move in their recommendations to the College of Education.
B. Instructional Systems Graduate Program in the College of Education: Change of Name toLearning, Design, and Technology
The proposal to change the name of the graduate program in Instructional Systems to Learning,Design, and Technology in the College of Education was approved by the Graduate Council at itsSeptember 19, 2012 meeting.
The program's graduate faculty view the Instructional Systems (INSYS) name as dated, and onewith more traditional and narrow meanings. The name Learning, Design, and Technology (LDT)more accurately represents faculty's focus on research and practice and indicated an approachobservable at similar programs around the country. The selected name will assist in thecompetition for grants and to recruit students interested in contemporary directions in the field. LDT reflects more contemporary conceptions of the field and promotes visibility in professionalcircles and with prospective students. The new name will help attract and retain top-qualitystudents as curricular focus emphasizing relevant theoretical and methodological experiences isdeveloped.

The facility suffers from majorchanges in flow and organic loading due to large swings in student and staff populations throughout thecalendar year. An engineering study completed this year highly recommended a conversion from the currentbiological and extended air treatment facility to a membrane bio-reactor plant. This type of plant requiresminimal operator involvement and training. Its more compact profile can be easily retrofitted into the existingplant with minimal structural changes. The existing aeration tanks will be converted to equalization capacitythat will help immensely to moderate and buffer the changes in flow and organic limits. The cost estimate forthis project is $1,800,000.

THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY
CODE OF CONDUCT FOR INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
Introduction
This Code of Conduct exemplifies the commitment of The Pennsylvania State University (“Penn State” or the “University”) Department of Intercollegiate Athletics (the “Athletics Department” or the “Department”) to full compliance with the University’s and the Athletics Department’s policies and procedures, including the policies set forth in the Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics Policy Manual (the “ICA Policy Manual”), the National Collegiate Athletic Association (“NCAA”) Constitution and Bylaws and the Handbook of the Big Ten Conference (“Big Ten Handbook”), as well as the principles regarding institutional control, responsibility, ethical conduct and integrity reflected in the NCAA Constitution and Bylaws and the Big Ten Handbook.
The purpose of this Code of Conduct is to serve as a guidepost to direct the ethical bearing of the Athletics Department. It was drafted to be congruent with the Athletics Department’s Mission, Vision and Core Values, all of which reflect those principles that serve as our measure of success, regardless of the outcome on the field.
Our Mission is to strive for excellence by offering all students model programs to develop meaningful standards of scholarship, athletic performance, leadership, community service, ethical conduct and sportsmanship within the institution’s educational and social environments.
Our Vision is to maintain a broad-based program the equal of any in the nation; to achieve the most favorable graduation rate possible for student-athletes; to field teams that compete at the highest levels of national and conference play; to encourage individual excellence and the esteem that follows; to aid in the social preparation of young people for the diverse world they are about to enter; to create an awareness of public service and the importance of participation in community outreach; to provide recreational facilities and opportunities to address every interest area, and to entertain the University student body and staff, alumni and fans with a consistently high level of competition that does not compromise the integrity which has characterized the Penn State program from its inception.
Our Core Values define who we are, not how we did. Our Core Values are those attributes that, whether experiencing the highest high or the lowest low, will not be compromised or abandoned. These Core Values are integrity, honor and respect.
This Code of Conduct will help ensure that our Mission, Vision and Core Values are ingrained in everything we do and that our commitments to the ideals of excellence, scholarship, integrity, ethical conduct, diversity, leadership, public service, athletic performance and sportsmanship are fulfilled.
[REVISED Appendix I] - 2 -
Applicability
This Code of Conduct is applicable to all “Covered Persons” which includes all student-athletes who participate on any of the University’s NCAA-sanctioned Division 1 intercollegiate athletics teams; all coaches and all managers of any of the University’s NCAA-sanctioned Division I intercollegiate athletics teams; all University staff and other University and Athletics Department employees who are directly involved with any of the University’s NCAA-sanctioned intercollegiate athletics teams; the University’s Board of Trustees, individually and collectively (the “Board of Trustees”); the President of the University; and all members of the Athletics Director’s Executive Committee.
For purposes of this Code of Conduct, anindividualis“directlyinvolved”withaUniversityNCAAsanctionedDivisionIintercollegiateathleticsteamifsuchindividualdirects,controlsorassistswithanysuchteam’sactivitiesandhasareasonablelikelihoodofrecurringpersonalinteractionwithbothvarsitystudent‐athletesandcoachesresultingfromhisorheremploymentresponsibilities.
The Penn State Principles Our Core Values are reflected in the following Penn State Principles, which were developed to embody the values to which we expect our students, faculty, staff, administration, trustees and alumni to adhere. The University also is deeply committed, however, to freedom of expression. Thus, the Penn State Principles do not constitute University policy and are not intended to interfere in any way with an individual’s legally-protected academic or personal freedoms. We expect, however, that all Covered Persons will endorse these common principles voluntarily, to the extent applicable to them, thereby contributing to the traditions and scholarly heritage of Penn State left by those who preceded them, and will thus leave Penn State a better place for those who follow.
The Penn State Principles are as follows:
I will respect the dignity of all individuals within the Penn State community and the local community and of all individuals with whom I compete on behalf of Penn State. The University is committed to creating and maintaining an educational environment that respects the right of all individuals to participate fully in the community. Actions motivated by hate, prejudice, or intolerance violate this principle. I will not engage in any behaviors that compromise or demean the dignity of individuals or groups, including intimidation, stalking, harassment, discrimination, taunting, ridiculing, insulting, or engaging in acts of violence. I will demonstrate respect for others by striving to learn from differences between people, ideas, and opinions and by avoiding behaviors that inhibit the ability of other community members to feel safe or welcome as they pursue their academic goals.
I will practice and promote the practice of academic integrity. Academic integrity is a basic guiding principle for all academic activity at Penn State, allowing the pursuit of scholarly activity in an open, honest, and responsible manner. In accordance with the University Code of Conduct, I will practice and promote the practice of integrity with regard to all academic assignments. I will not engage in or tolerate acts
[REVISED Appendix I] - 3 -
of falsification, misrepresentation or deception because such acts of dishonesty violate the fundamental ethical principles of the University community and compromise the worth of work completed by others.
I will demonstrate social and personal responsibility. The University is a community that promotes learning; any behaviors that are inconsistent with that goal are unacceptable. Irresponsible behaviors, including alcohol or drug abuse and the use of violence against people or property, undermine the educational climate of the University by threatening the physical and mental health of members of the University community. I will exercise personal responsibility for my actions and I will make sure that my actions do not interfere with the academic and social environment of the University. I will maintain a high standard of behavior by adhering to the University Code of Conduct and respecting the rights of others.
I will be responsible for my own academic progress and I agree to comply with all University policies. The University allows students to identify and achieve their academic goals by providing the information needed to plan their chosen program of study and the necessary educational opportunities to complete that program successfully, but students assume final responsibility for course scheduling, program planning, and the successful completion of graduation requirements. I will be responsible for seeking the academic and career information needed to meet my educational goals by becoming knowledgeable about the relevant policies, procedures, and rules of the University and my chosen academic program, by consulting and meeting with my adviser, and by successfully completing all of the requirements for graduation.
