Minutes of Workshop Meeting, January 23, 2014 Page 2

Motion carried by the following vote: AYES: Trustee Abby-White, DiBella, Flaherty, Jones, Karcher, Passiment, Tolchin, Butch NAYS: None ABSTENTIONS: None D. Information Items:

1. Finance and Operations Fast Facts FY13 – Trustee Abby-White stated she found this document extremely valuable. She complimented Vice President Lawrence and her team for producing the document. Vice President Lawrence noted that her staff prepares this document every year. It speaks to the many different things that Finance and Operations does outside of purchases and payroll that most people are not aware of. Trustee Flaherty commented that the document was very informative and was easily understood.

2. Financial Report of the NJ County Community Colleges 2009-2012 – This is comparative

data—how the other community colleges are faring with revenue sources—is in response to a question from Trustee Guzzo last month. Trustee Abby-White said she compared Brookdale, Camden, and Bergen, and Brookdale has the most significant reduction in funding, but not in enrollment. President Murphy noted that Ms. Abby-White put things into context as far as state funding goes. Funds are allotted based on size. Brookdale receives slightly less than its proportion because the larger schools help the smaller ones. Dr. Murphy stated it is interesting to look at reductions in county funding. If Burlington is not taken into consideration, Brookdale has been hit harder in county funding than its sister institutions. She noted that although all community colleges have the same mission, their programs may differ. Vice President Lawrence stated that there are greater demands on a school with more students; Brookdale is generally compared with institutions more alike in size. Dr. Murphy commented that there are charge-backs if a sister institution doesn’t have the program its students want and Brookdale has the program. She mentioned that Brookdale has the best Auto Tech program in the state. Students from other counties attend Brookdale for that program. Dr. Phillips stated that community colleges respond to their different communities—another varying factor. Dr. Guzzo asked if the facilities in some of the colleges are in better shape than others. Dr. Murphy stated that they are all struggling with aging facilities. Ms. Lawrence noted that Brookdale does not spend as much per square footage, and there is a need to spend more on deferred maintenance. Dr. Murphy noted that the College receives this report in the spring each year and pulls some financial ratios from it. The Board has access to this full report.

Chair Butch asked if Vice President Lawrence was comfortable with the budget as it is

currently drafted, and she replied that she was. She noted that there will be changes between now and June. She said she is hopeful that the budget will be a lower final number. Dr. Murphy stated the school is on track and is moving forward.

E. Board Business

Page 20: Board of Trustees Workshop, & Public Business Meeting · 1.1 Maximize learning-centered environments and successful student outcomes by ensuring alignment of curriculum, programs,

Minutes of Workshop Meeting, January 23, 2014 Page 3

1. Trustee DiBella was selected as Chair of the Finance and Facilities Committee. It was noted that the Board of School Estimate meeting is scheduled for February 13 at 1 p.m. in the Hall of Records, Freehold. The Finance and Facilities Chair and the Board Chair attend this meeting.

2. Trustees Karcher (chair), Abby-White, and Passiment were appointed to the ad hoc Governance Committee.

3. To date there have been three Board orientation/development sessions. Additionally, Dr. Murphy stated she has been distributing information to the Board. Trustee Passiment stated he had attended the first and second round of Board orientation sessions. He said he learned more about staff. The orientation was well received by those individuals who attended. Mr. Passiment suggested that Brookdale’s senior leadership team and cabinet members be listed in each of the monthly Board books, which he said was a “wonderful document.”

F. Review of Consent Agenda and Business Meeting Agenda 1. Executive Vice President Phillips explained that the Early College High School with Saint

John Vianney requires approval from Middle States for Substantive Change—Brookdale is creating another satellite facility (Item 5.1). This situation is different from that of Neptune in that Brookdale leases space from Neptune. Dean Kegelman also said that the situation with Saint John Vianney is different from Neptune. Saint John Vianney teachers must be approved adjunct teachers with no direct cost to Brookdale. This makes it financially viable for Brookdale. Trustee Jones stated that many other schools have the same kinds of agreements. Saint John Vianney is providing space and paying the instructors; Brookdale gets the benefit of the FTEs. Their teachers must meet Brookdale’s adjunct professor requirements. Their curriculum must be aligned with that of Brookdale.

2. Approval of Social Science AA Health Option (5.2) – Dean Kegelman stated this is a

proposal for a new degree, an AA in Social Science with a specialty in Health Science. Brookdale will place all its pre-Allied Health students into this degree-track program. It will be the program that students will follow to the point where they are eligible to enter into their desired Allied Health programs. Students can transfer out of this program easily as well. Dr. Murphy stated this is a “band aid” until we get a better pipeline nailed down. She indicated that there have been conversations with other institutions; they want to build a pipeline for the Meridian Nursing Program. Dr. Phillips noted that Brookdale is partnering with sister institutions to create a program. The proposed program will move forward now, and the College is working on additional options. Dr. Guzzo suggested looking into health care business.

3. The proposed budget for FY2015 (4.4) – There is still not a final number for the County’s

contribution, so the College went with the worst case scenario. Trustee Flaherty reviewed highlights of the proposed budget. He commented that the College wants to reduce its reliance on reserves. A $3.25 per credit tuition increase is included in the budget. It was noted that this year’s budget is a $500,000 decrease from the projected FY-14 budget. Ms. Lawrence commented that the tuition increase is part of a long-

Minutes of Workshop Meeting, January 23, 2014 Page 4

range plan that was included in the Middle Stated Periodic Review Report. The Middle States Evaluating Team was happy to see that Brookdale is reducing its reliance on reserves. Dr. Murphy explained how savings are occurring because positions are not being filled, and she specifically mentioned the former position of Vice President of Administration and Operations, whose duties have been picked by others in the College.

Trustee Flaherty stated there is an $11 million+ Capital budget, which includes

Information Technology upgrades and also focuses on deferred maintenance and debt service. Chair Butch mentioned that the College will be receiving Chapter 12 capital funds as well. A general discussion of the budget ensued, including the College’s debt.

Trustee DiBella stated he reviewed the line items and this is a new process to him. He said he could see where there were reductions (a few of which he said he had questions about). He said he did not feel comfortable with the budget, and he assured the Board that this was not a criticism but rather his penchant for wanting more information. In the future he said he would want to see the line items ahead of time. He will, therefore, abstain from voting on the budget.

G. It was MOVED by Trustee Abby-white and seconded by Trustee Tolchin that the meeting be adjourned at 6:16 p.m. Approval was unanimous.

G. President’s Report – President Murphy noted that today was the first day of classes due to snow closing yesterday. Students are still trickling in. She said that because of the cold weather, the College has had weather-related problems because of aging facilities. A water main broke in Neptune, although water was restored in time for classes to begin. There was also a major problem because of a broken water pipe in Freehold. Dr. Murphy asked Dean Stout to explain the situation there.

Dr. Stout stated that on January 7 a pipe burst in room 403--dedicated to Business and

Community Development health classes. After the water flowed for 45 minutes the fire alarm went off. In the meantime, water saturated everything down to the first floor causing severe damage on all four floors on the northwest corner of the building. Dr. Stout credited Vice President Lawrence and Mr. Richard Frank for getting contractors in there immediately to begin the repairs. Everything had to be dried out in order to remediate any chance of mold problems. Repairs to the walls, etc. then took place. Carpet is to be installed on January 24th, after which the health inspector will do his inspection. By Monday, January 27, it is expected that things will be back to normal. It was noted that the insurance deductible was $50,000.

A mobile RV was brought in so that advising and registration could take place, and 220 students were serviced. OIT provided the computers. Another RV was brought in; however both were shut down because of the cold. Staff was deployed to other sites for Thursday and Friday, January 23 and 24. Dr. Stout praised the staff members who went “above and beyond.” He said one could not ask for better people to work with. He also mentioned the IT people who worked to provide the necessary computers.

Executive Vice President Phillips commented that classes could not begin in Freehold today;

however, the Teaching and Learning Center provided Canvas shells so that there was a back-up plan for on-line learning. The Center will be open for classes next Monday morning. Dr. Phillips noted that all of the Deans and Ms. McMillon came together and provided the necessary assistance.

President Murphy reported that on Tuesday, the entire college community came together for

the spring convocation. She said that she shared with the community some of the conversations she had with the Board and the hard facts of Brookdale’s situation. Dr. Murphy said it was probably the toughest moment of her career to look out at 600 people who believe in Brookdale and believe in what they do to help students learn as she shared the facts of the College’s situation.

Trustee Abby-White stated she attended convocation and that she had been an employee

where uncertainty was a disruptive force. She came out of the convocation with an impression that she did not expect; she expected people to be focused on themselves, and their own jobs, but instead they were very Brookdale- and student-focused. Ms. Abby-White highlighted some of the things that were spoken about at the convocation. She said Dr. Murphy spoke for about twenty minutes, and this was followed by a question and answer period. She commented that Dr. Murphy stated what the College was trying to accomplish—student learning. Dr. Murphy mentioned performance-based funding will come to New Jersey. She spoke about the changing demographics of the area, and the fact that $15 million has been cut from the budget since 2011; how the Board engaged in policy review; the Jubilee Commission; and that there is much to do going forward and the College is aligning things for future needs. Among other things, Trustee Abby-White said she wanted to share what she felt coming out of the Convocation. (1) The College is in the midst of change. She believes that President Murphy is the change agent that is needed at Brookdale. (2) She appreciated Dr. Murphy’s candor and would like to help. (3) She said that Dr. Murphy looked so alone at the podium, but she did have support. Ms. Abby-White said it was very emotional. She said she walked out incredibly proud of our leadership.

President Murphy said she is really proud to be at Brookdale and proud of the caliber of people

who work here. She said the focus on students is why we are here. The hallmark of an institution is the people who are hired and retained. She said she has never worked with finer people.

H. Brookdale Spotlight - Professor Michael Qaissaunee was honored with a resolution for receiving

a 2013 People Who Made a Difference in Security award by the SANS Institute at the December 16, 2013 SANS Cyber Defense Initiative Conference in Washington D.C. Additionally, Brookdale Professor Linda Wang was also honored with a resolution in recognition of being named 2013 New Jersey Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement

K. Public Comment 1. Karyn Arnold, President of the Brookdale Community College Administrators’

Association, requested to be heard.

“Good evening Dr. Murphy, Chairman Butch, Members of the Board and Cabinet. My name is Karyn Arnold and I am President if the Brookdale Community College Administrators Association. I’d like to tell you about some of our achievements. Michele Risley, Student Support Specialist for the NNJHPC Grant, Business and Community Development, recently became a state certified EMT and volunteers with the Tinton Falls South EMS. Rita Lo, Manager of the Information Commons and Library Systems, recently presented in a poster session at the 15th annual VALE/NJ ACRL/NJLA CUS User’s Conference which was held at Rutgers University. The title of her poster is “Going Hosted: Library Server Migration”. Cheryl Cummings, Executive Director of the Brookdale Network, is in her 2nd term and 6th year as a Board Member of the Monmouth County Arts Council. She serves on the MoCo Arts Corridor committee, a subcommittee of the Arts Council which partners artists with businesses and tourism. Cheryl also serves as the Brookdale liaison for the

Page 27: Board of Trustees Workshop, & Public Business Meeting · 1.1 Maximize learning-centered environments and successful student outcomes by ensuring alignment of curriculum, programs,

Minutes of Public Business Meeting, January 23, 2014 Page 6

Art Council’s Teen Arts Festival which is hosted here at Brookdale on March 20-21st and brings hundreds of high school students to our campus. Richard Morales-Wright, Director of the Educational Opportunity Program, is a member of the NAACP State Education Committee serving as the Higher Education Representative. Richard is also an Executive Board member of the TRI- STATE Consortium of Opportunity programs. It is a not-for-profit volunteer organization with over 425 colleges and universities from New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania participating. These schools serve over 60,000 college students from educationally and financially disadvantaged backgrounds. I would like to take a minute to recognize the entire staff of the Freehold campus for their hard work, their flexibility, and most of all the support of the students. As you may know there has been an RV set up in the Freehold campus parking lot providing student services while the building is being repaired. Helen Vota and I received this email from Dean David Stout last Saturday: Hi Karyn and Helen. If you plan to attend the next Board meeting, can you please acknowledge the work of our administrators and staff in Freehold? Peggy Austin, Meghan Ingstrup, Tim Cox, and Debbie Brown (as well as hourly employees Ansa Thomas and Ayesha El Banna, and student worker Justin Melendez) went above and beyond in their service to students this week. Together they served over 220 students in our Mobile Advising and Registration Center (our RV). We received no complaints from students. Rather, they complimented the staff's dedication and suggested that their experience was very positive. Likewise, the staff never complained about the conditions. They served all students with great big smiles, humor, and the family embrace that makes Freehold special. I also want to acknowledge that, due to the limited space in the RV, Freehold Learning Assistant Lynne Shaffery provided excellent tutoring services in the Math Lab in Lincroft all week. I forgot to note that Lee Snowiss (GED), Susan George and Milagros Martino (ESL) continued to work with their students all week in the community room of a local church. They demonstrated tremendous creativity as they taught three very different groups of students, simultaneously, in a single room. I am honored to work alongside such an exceptional group of people. Thanks. I hope you enjoy your long weekend. ~ Dave” Ms. Arnold commented favorably on Dr. Murphy’s convocation speech and assured the Administrative Association’s support for Brookdale’s legacy of excellence.

2. Student Jeremy Baratta requested to be heard. Mr. Baratta questioned why the January 14, 2014 Board workshop session had not been advertised. Mrs. Karl assured him that the meeting had been advertised, and proof will be sent to Mr. Baratta.
