The highlights from the Commissioner’s Report were as follows:< Thank you, Mr. President. It is my pleasure to present the September Commissioner’s Report.< Thank you, Chancellor Khayat, and your team for hosting this month’s Board meeting. As always, we

have appreciated your gracious hospitality. I know the Board values the opportunity to meet on-campus.We get used to meeting in the IHL Board room. Coming to campus gives us all an opportunity to tourthe institutions, visit with students and faculty, and be reminded why your work on this Board is soimportant.

< Today you approved the accreditation of nursing standards for Mississippi’s nursing degree programs,a presentation made to you by Dr. Mary Ware. Dr. Ware is retiring this month, after over 30 years ofprofessional service to the state. Dr. Ware began her career as a nursing instructor at UMMC.

I know you are looking forward to not traveling so much so you can spend quality time with yourhusband, daughters, and your two granddaughters. We wish you well in retirement.

< I’d also like to formally introduce all of you to Dr. Jim Borsig. Dr. Borsig joined us last Thursday asour new Assistant Commissioner of Governmental Affairs and Special Projects. Many of you probablyremember Jim when he served Southern Miss as its Legislative Liaison back in 2000, as well asResearch and Development Coordinator at Mississippi State’s Stennis Institute in the early 1990’s.Most recently, Jim has worked in the Department of Corporate Information and Planning at the SouthMississippi Electric Power Association. Jim met with the legislative liaisons today, and will beinstrumental as we move toward this next legislative session. Jim, welcome aboard!

< Speaking of the next legislative session, our Joint Legislative Budget Hearing is scheduled for nextTuesday, September 25, beginning at 2:30 p.m. in the Woolfolk Building, downtown Jackson. You allshould have seen the agenda—some of you are on it! Your Board Office is working on all aspects ofthe hearing, and we hope you will attend.

< I appreciate the good work of Southern Miss’ Dr. Joe Paul, MUW’s Dr. Bucky Wesley, and all themembers of our university community who served on the Tuition and Financial Aid task forces. Youheard their recommendations today, and I think you will agree that they have discussed some positive,innovative ideas toward increasing both accessibility and affordability in Mississippi’s higher educationsystem.

< Part of encouraging Mississippi’s citizenry to pursue a four-year degree is directly tied to the leadershipwithin Mississippi’s schools and universities.

< I’m pleased to report that the Mississippi Department of Education is taking the lead in putting togethera Blue Ribbon Committee for the Redesign of Leadership, much like Dr. House’s presentation to youlast month regarding the Blue Ribbon Committee for the Redesign of Teacher Preparation. Some of theindividuals serving on this new committee include Trustee Bettye Neely, Doc Foglesong, and otherMDE, IHL, and community representatives. The BRC for Leadership Redesign will begin meeting inOctober and is working in tandem with the SREB. Dr. House, we look forward to your keeping usabreast of the new BRC’s progress.

< Also in October (October 7-9) is the Mississippi Association of Colleges and Universities’ (MAC)conference, hosted by Jackson State. The theme of the conference is “achieving enhanced studentretention and graduation rates in Mississippi post-secondary education.” System representatives willjoin individuals from our private and community colleges to discuss how Mississippi can achieve thisimportant mandate. Dr. Reggie Sykes will present a special session on the community college transferprocess, as well as how our institutions can better recruit Mississippi’s Phi Theta Kappa students. Ithink Reggie’s involvement in the MAC conference will be a positive step as we work to increase thenumber and quality of baccalaureate degrees in our state.

< Another positive move in that direction is that student enrollment is up! For the first time inMississippi’s history, enrollment at Mississippi’s eight public universities has surpassed 70,000students. Preliminary Fall 2007 enrollment figures show an increase of 1.2% in the student population,up from 69,941 students in Fall 2006 to 70,800 students in Fall 2007. Mississippi has enjoyed thisupward trend for 13 consecutive years; a positive, necessary sign as we continue to compete in today’sglobal economy.

< The time has come again for your third-annual Best Practices competition! Each year, your BestPractices competition helps develop and promote current best practices among our institutions so thatthe state’s financial resources continue to be efficiently and effectively managed. Institutions may enterin the categories of Academics; Finance, Business, and Administration; Student Services, and

< And finally, in good news from your institutions:< Alcorn State University’s School of Education and Psychology has proven its commitment to

producing quality teachers by achieving accreditation under the performance-oriented standardsof the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), the organizationresponsible for professional accreditation of teacher education. Alcorn’s accreditation wasrecently re-affirmed through 2013.

< Each year, Delta State University’s Madison Center honors the U.S. Constitution on or aroundSeptember 17, the original adoption date of the Constitution in 1787. This year, the MadisonCenter will welcome back to campus Delta State alumna Associate Justice Ann H. Lamar fora free lecture to the university community. Justice Lamar is the third woman to serve on theState Supreme Court.

< Also in good news, in August, Jackson State University’s School of Engineering was accreditedby the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET Inc., the recognized accrediting bodyfor college and university programs in applied science, computing, engineering and technology.JSU’s School of Engineering evolved from the Ayers higher education desegregation settlement.It opened in Fall 2000 and, per ABET requirements, began the accreditation process in January2006 after graduating its first class of students.

< A September 22nd ribbon-cutting ceremony will officially open Mississippi State's WelcomeCenter and the Cullis and Gladys Wade Clock Museum. The museum's 400-piece collectionrepresents the lifelong fascination of Cullis Wade--a 1940 MSU electrical engineering graduatefrom Bogalusa, LA--with timepieces, especially their internal mechanisms. Dating from theearly 1700s, the clocks and watches were purchased from throughout the United States andrepresent nearly every American manufacturer.

< On Thursday, Sept. 27th, presidential historian Michael Beschloss will speak during the 2007Welty Gala sponsored by the Mississippi University for Women Foundation. Beschloss is anaward-winning historian and the author of eight books including the acclaimed New York Timesbest-seller The Conquerors: Roosevelt, Truman and the Destruction of Hitler's Germany, 1941-1945. He serves as NBC News Presidential Historian and is a regular on PBS’s The NewsHourwith Jim Lehrer.

< This Thursday, the Washington County Alumni Chapter at Mississippi Valley State Universitywill host a luncheon for all Valley student athletes in appreciation of their dedication to theirstudies and to the Delta Devils.

< A novel animal model of clinical depression devised by a University of Mississippi researchpsychologist shows promise for better diagnosis and treatment of the syndrome and may resultin a technology patent for the university. Ken Sufka, professor of psychology and pharmacologyat Ole Miss, has been studying the connection between anxiety and depression for several years,seeking ways to better diagnose and treat clinical depression.

< And finally, the University of Southern Mississippi School of Social Work Director Dr. MichaelForster recently received this year's Mississippi Conference for Social Welfare 2007 MeritAward for his contributions toward the field of social welfare and social services.

1. JSU – APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION TO ISSUE AND SELL SERIES 2007 REVENUE BONDS AND THE DOCUMENTS RELATING TO SAID BONDS

Board approval is requested for a Resolution authorizing the Jackson State University Educational Building Corporation (the "JSU/EBC") to issue certain Revenue Bonds, Series 2007 for a total amount not to exceed $52,500,000. The proposed bonds issued will be issued with a put option to fix the interest rate for a period of five-to-seven years which may be fixed prior to the put date should the market be favorable. As of October 17, 2007, JSU was projecting an initial present value savings of $2.2 million, an average annual savings just under $146,000. All funds to pay the related costs of issuance, sale, delivery of the Bonds and interest on and other costs relating to the Bonds should cost approximately $770,000. The following documents relating to the Bonds have been submitted:

1. Amended and Restated Ground Lease, 2. Amended and Restated Lease, 3. Escrow Agreements, and 4. Indenture.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends JSU obtain competitive bids for the issue with at least two quotes on a variable rate program and a quote for a 27-year fixed rate issue from investment grade banks. Should the bids indicate a variable rate is more advantageous, JSU should do an interest rate swap to ensure the variable rate debt does not exceed 30 percent of the debt portfolio after the issue.

2. UMMC – APPROVAL OF CONTRACT FOR CONSULTING SERVICES

The University of Mississippi Medical Center requests approval to renew an agreement between Norris FSG, Inc. and the University of Mississippi Medical Center for consulting services for professional financial and information services to the University Hospitals and Health System.

Projected Budget. As the degree program is structured on a combination of existing curricula, no additional budgeted expenses are expected.

Other Observations. This degree program request is not unique to the state and system in that a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies is currently offered at Delta State, Jackson State, and Mississippi State while multi-disciplinary programs are offered at Alcorn (General Studies), Mississippi State (General Liberal Arts), and the University of Mississippi (Liberal Arts).

Staff Analysis. Although this degree program is not unique to the state, Board staff believes this program will meet an existing need within the state to provide students who have been required to relocate multiple times to attain a baccalaureate degree.

State Need. As Mississippi’s healthcare expenditures have been growing at a 9% rate, it is anticipated that there will be an increased need for skilled healthcare marketers.


Projected Budget. Expenses associated with this program will be funded through Department of Management and Marketing funds and income from the Max E. Draughn Endowment.

Other Observations. The College of Business substantially strengthened this proposal through the addition of foundational business courses and a significant industry internship.

Staff Analysis. Board staff believes this program, with the redesigned curriculum, is better structured than previous proposals and will, therein, be productive.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Board staff recommends approval of agenda item 1h.

3. UM – APPROVAL TO ALLOW THE APPOINTMENT OF EMPLOYEES TO SERVE AS VOTING MEMBERS OF THE UNIVERSITY’S RESEARCH FOUNDATION

Permission is requested to allow Alice Clark, Vice Chancellor for Research and Sponsored Programs; Morris Stocks, Senior Vice Chancellor for Planning and Operations; William Gottshall, Executive Director of the Lott Leadership Institute and Walt Chambliss, Director of Technology Management, all of whom are University of Mississippi employees, to serve as voting members of the University of Mississippi Research Foundation Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is comprised of seven (7) members, four (4) University of Mississippi employees and three (3) members from the private sector. Currently, the primary function of this board is to provide leadership for the development of university owned land for the University Research Park. Because it is university land, it is important that the university maintain a high degree of control during the early stages of this development. The university employees needed for service on the board have a wide range of expertise: senior leadership, federal agency grant practices, technology management, and fiduciary accountability. Over time, the goal is to transition to a board mostly populated with private sector/non-university members. Please allow an exception to the employee restriction within IHL Board Policy 301.0806 University Foundation/Affiliated Entity Activities to ensure the proper administration of this development.

ADMINISTRATION/POLICY November 14, 2007

Page 1 of 3

1. SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION – APPROVAL OF MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY’S VISION AND MISSION STATEMENTS

IHL policy (Section 102.04 Institutional Mission Statements) requires the annual review of each university’s approved core mission statement, and MSU policy (OP 01.05) further calls for a campus review of the mission statement every five years or upon the appointment of a new president. Accordingly, the current MSU vision and mission statements, along with proposed modifications suggested by President Foglesong, were presented to the entire campus community in October 2006. Comments were received from faculty, staff, and students until December 2006. Based on the comments received and incorporating suggestions by the university community, the following revised vision and mission statements were endorsed by the university’s Executive Council in July 2007 and are presented to the Board of Trustees for approval:

Vision: The vision of Mississippi State University is to be the most respected land-grant institution in the region.

Mission: The mission of Mississippi State University is to educate the workforce and leaders of the future, produce robust research for our state and nation, and provide expert services to our citizens, communities and businesses.

2. SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION – APPROVAL OF APPOINTMENT OF DESIGNATED AGENT TO OBTAIN AND ADMINISTER CERTAIN FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE THROUGH MEMA/FEMA

The University of Mississippi requests approval of Mr. James R. “Jim” Windham, Emergency Management Coordinator, as its official designated applicant agent with authority to execute applications for the purpose of obtaining and administering certain federal financial assistance available through the Mississippi Emergency Management Association/Federal Emergency Management Association (MEMA/FEMA). This approval is necessary due to the retirement of the previous Board approved designee, Mr. Roland Clark.
