success and quality in
one program before
starting the next
program.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Research
Recruit and hire
faculty who will
support
undergraduate
research at UAPB.
Develop research
mission statements,
strategic plans, and
goals for the
university and each
academic unit.
Undergraduate
Research
Identify and
provide sufficient

undergraduate
research across the
campus.
NEXT STEPS
In keeping with AHECB Policy 5.20.1a, if the AHECB
approves the change of UAPB’s role and scope at
the February 2011 meeting, a review of the Ph.D. in
Aquaculture/Fisheries program will follow.
The actual Ph.D. program proposal review will
include an external review of the program, an ADHE
recommendation and an AHECB vote.
Executive Staff Recommendation
Resolved, ADHE Executive Staff recommend approval of UAPB’s
request for a change in role and scope to include the Ph.D. in
Aquaculture and Fisheries pending AHECB approval of the
doctoral program.
FURTHER RESOLVED, That the Coordinating Board instructs the
Director of the Arkansas Department of Higher Education to
inform the President and Chair of the Board of Trustees of the
University of Arkansas System, and the Chancellor of the
University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff of the approval.

Personnel Changes
• Shane Broadway appointed Deputy

Pulaski Technical College
• Currently Advertising for Financial
Aid Coordinator
Governor Beebe's State of the State Address
• Our woefully low rates of degree completion must change if
we are to truly claim educational success. With thousands
more Arkansans now receiving academic scholarships, we have
begun addressing the financial barriers that block some
students from obtaining their degree.
• To counterbalance the sharp influx of new
students on campus, I have requested a
small one-percent increase in highereducation funding to help our institutions
with their rising enrollment. It is likely that
this funding alone will not cover growing
operational costs for our colleges and
universities, so I ask administrators to be
measured and modest when looking at
raising tuition.
• With this increased enrollment and
increased opportunity, I am
committed to seeing increased
responsibility for results. I want to
tie funding for higher-education
institutions more closely to
coursework completion and
graduation rates, not simply to
enrollment.
• These tax dollars must produce college graduates, not
just fill up seats. We can and must double the number
of college graduates in Arkansas by 2025 if we are to
stay competitive. This is a lofty goal aimed at the
future, but we must begin implementing it today.

“Give a man a fish; you have fed him for
today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him
for a lifetime”—Author unknown
Business Graduates
Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you
have fed him for a lifetime. Teach a man to sell fish and he eats steak.
Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish;
and you can sell him fishing equipment.
Culinary Arts Graduates
Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Unless he doesn't like
sushi—then you also have to teach him to cook.
Psychology Graduates
Give a man a fish, and you satisfy his fish craving for a day. Give him fish aversion
therapy, and you eliminate the craving for life.
Biological Science Graduates
Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and run the risk
of overfishing, reducing the biodiversity of the world's oceans and increasing
the economic decline of our once-great fishing industry.
Religion and Philosophy Graduates
Give a man a fish, so he may have some porpoise.

Remediation
February 4, 2011
Rick Jenkins
Associate Director for Planning and Accountability
What is a Remedial Student?
Students that are:
• First-Time Entering into college;
• Seeking an Associate or Bachelor’s degree;
• Below AHECB’s cut-off score (on ACT,
SAT, Compass and ASSET tests) in any
subject area; AND
• Designated as remedial placement status.
The above represents ADHE’s traditional methodology called the Anytime Rate.
The Anytime Rate ignores high school graduation date. Act 970 of 2009 requires a
remediation calculation that includes students graduating from high school within
the last two (2) years (called the 2-Year Rate) and 2010 legislative requests
requires a remediation calculation that includes students graduating from high
school within the last year (called the 1-Year Rate).

New Policies Adopted
2009-2010

At the October 29, 2010 Board meeting the AHECB adopted a
revision to the Economic Feasibility of Bond Issues policies. Any
institution seeking approval of a loan or a bond issue for the
construction or purchase of a new facility must provide for the
maintenance of that facility by transferring annually to plant funds
an amount as recommended by APPA. The funds can also be
used for critical and deferred maintenance of the institution.

At the July 30, 2010 Board Meeting the Arkansas Higher
Education Coordinating Board (AHECB) extended the Moratorium
on New Campuses. The major reason stated for this extension
was the concern for the possibility of any further dilution of funding
to the existing institutions. The addition of new campuses would
further jeopardize the quality of the education that the institutions
are able to provide to the students.
New Policies Adopted
2009-2010

At the April 30, 2010 Board Meeting the AHECB voted to increase
the tuition and fee rates used in the funding formula to better
reflect the student share of the cost of education. This change will
provide a more accurate assessment of the needed state
contribution for each institution.

At the April 30, 2010 Board Meeting the AHECB adopted the
resolution on distance education funding policy to be effective
Fiscal 2012 and thereafter. Given Arkansas’s limited resource for
funding higher education it seems that any important public policy
issue must be to focus those resources on increasing the number
of Arkansans’ with degrees. The new policy will include for
funding SSCHs when delivered to Arkansas residents.
