Last week the Board of Governors had its annual planning retreat at Shealy Farm.
Board reviews goals, vision for University
The Board spent the majority of its time finalizing the University’s goals for 2015-2016 and discussing a draft report from the Missouri State Vision: Our Passion for Excellence project. The finalized goals document and visioning report will be online in the near future, and I will update you when they are available.
The Board received the year-end report from the Missouri State University Foundation. As part of that report, we were proud to notify the Board that the Foundation raised over $19 million last year, making fiscal year 2015 the second highest total year in the history of the Foundation.
Actions include agreement to create MSU Care clinic
The Board also took action on several important matters:
- The Board voted to adopt the electronic curricular process developed by Faculty Senate.
- The Board granted a license to install a ribbon board in JQH Arena. You may recall that Learfield Sports agreed to fund this ribbon board as part of the new contract the University and Learfield negotiated earlier this year.
- The Board approved the fiscal year 2017 operating appropriations request. This request seeks a 7 percent increase in core operating funding—5 percent to be distributed by the state’s performance funding formula and 2 percent to be designated for STEM initiatives.
- The Board approved a clinical affiliation agreement with Mercy. This agreement establishes a primary care clinic called “MSU Care” in the O’Reilly Clinical Health Sciences Center for treatment of adults between the ages of 18 and 64 who are uninsured and ineligible for Medicaid or Medicare. The clinic will provide state-of-art interdisciplinary clinical education experiences for students in the College of Health and Human Services.
- The Board authorized bonds to be issued for the Glass Hall renovation and addition project.
Thanks for all you do for Missouri State!
