Co-located Campus Defined: A campus in which a community college and a regional branch of a four-year institution of higher education are located on the same adjoining campuses. Task Force Charge  Create a Shared Governance Model for Ohio’s co -located campuses.  The model created by the task force is required to emphasize the following shared governance categories:  Administration  Students Services  Maintenance  Facility usage  Other shared services  The identified model must serve the students of both institutions better.  The model created must preserve the individual academic missions of both institutions.

• What we should achieve today – Clarity and Consensus: Our Mission – Identify Areas of Focus Related to the Mission – Next Steps: Identify information needs and information gathering process.

Overview Institutional Governance

Appointment of Trustees • The number of trustees at each type of institution • Who appoints the trustee • District formation – Districts are distinct and non-overlapping. • State and community colleges are based off of county lines • Technical colleges historically were formed by school district lines and have been maintained.

State Community Colleges • The college is governed by a board of trustees. – Nine trustees total. Must reside in the state. – All are appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. – Term: six years, staggered. See O.R.C. 3358.03

Community Colleges • The Board of Trustees governs the college and all members must reside in the district. – Nine Trustees • Six appointed locally by the board(s) of county commissioners of the district. • Three appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. • Term: Five years, terms are staggered. See O.R.C. 3354.05

Technical Colleges • The number of trustees is dependent on the location of the school districts. Multiple counties or a single county. – Option A: Where a district is composed of one or more districts and more than half of the territory of those districts are in the same county: • Seven trustees are appointed who must reside in the district. – Five are appointed by Presidents of school boards – Two are appointed by the Governor with advice and consent of the Senate – Term: three years, staggered See O.R.C. 3357.05

Technical Colleges • Option B: Where a college district is formed in any other way than option A, nine trustees are appointed. All must reside in the district. – Six are appointed by Presidents of school boards – Three are appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. – Term: three years, staggered See O.R.C. 3357.05

Technical Colleges Historically • Most if not all started in 1960s, by board of education prior to ORC creating a technical college under the chancellor’s review/purview. • 1970s transitioned under laws as technical colleges. – ORC 3358.05 provides a mechanism for a tech college to transition to a state community college. • Requires an agreement with the board of the tech college and ODHE to establish state community college and transfer assets.

• Examples – Cincinnati State • 1966 established as a technical institute. • 1970 a technical college. • 1994 a state community college. – Owens Community College • 1965 board of education programs. • 1967 a technical college. • 1994 a state community college. • State community college can transition to a community college per ORC 3358.02(D). – proposal approval by ODHE, then one year to approve levy in district or revert to state community college.

State Universities • Each state university has a board of trustees that consists of eleven members. – Nine voting members. – Exceptions: OSU has 17 trustees, OU requires board consists of five alums. • The trustees are appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. – The Board of Trustees at the main campus of the university oversees their regional campuses. – Term: nine years, staggered See O.R.C. 3335.02, 3337.01, 3339.01, 3341.02, 3343.02, 3344.01, 3350, 3352.01, 3356.01, 3359.01, 3361.01, 3362.01, 3364.01

Regional Campuses • A university regional campus consists of a permanent full-time separate facility established with the approval of ODHE, governed by the main university board of trustees.

• Regional vs. Main Campus – Regional campuses have either a dean/director with some having an advisory board. • The advisory boards do not have any decision-making authority and their primary functions are to advise the campuses' deans/directors and to advocate for the campuses in the community. • Regional campuses cannot levy but do have lower rates than the main campus. – There is not set statutory construction for the appointment of advisory board members.

Important Distinctions • Some institutions can put on the ballots within their respective districts the question of levying a tax on all the taxable property in their district. • Who can levy? – Community colleges – Technical Colleges • A levy results in lower tuition rates for residents of the district. – The institution has in county, out of county and out of state rates.

• Academics – In 2009 technical schools were no longer limited to offering two year technical degrees. Expanded to the Associate of Arts and Associate of Science. – Regionals were encouraged to offer four year degrees to assist with low cost degree pathways but limited to high volume degrees.

Role of the Governing Board • Operate pursuant to an official plan • Prescribe rules for the effective operation of a community college and exercise such other powers as are necessary for the efficient management of such college; • Appoint the administrative officers, faculty, and staff, necessary and proper for such community college, and fix their compensation. Some boards choose to delegate this role. See O.R.C. 3345, 3354.09, 3357.09, 3358.08 .

• Hold • Encumber • Control • Acquire by donation • Purchase, or condemnation • Construct, own, lease, use • Sell real and personal property • As is necessary for the conduct of the program of the community college on whatever terms and for whatever consideration may be appropriate for the purpose of the college.

• Determine the arts and sciences programs and technical programs. Such programs may include adult- education programs pursuant to the official plan. • Grant appropriate certificates of achievement to students successfully completing the community college programs. • Determining a policy or policies of insuring the district against loss of or damage to real and personal property.

• Establish schedules of fees and tuition – 3 rates for Community and Technical colleges: • fees/tuition for students who are residents of the district, • residents of Ohio but not of the district, and • students who are nonresidents of Ohio.  Out of district residents of Ohio are required to pay higher fees and tuition than students who are residents of the district only when a district tax levy has been adopted and is in effect under the authority of section 3357.09, 3357.11, 5705.19, or 5705.191 of the Revised Code.  O.R.C. 3354.09 (G) generally requires three rates of tuition for Community Colleges.

 State community college: Can establish two types of rates within the maximum amounts permitted by law, a schedules of fees and tuition for students who are Ohio residents and students who are not. See O.R.C. 3358.08

Role of Advisory Boards • Appointment of Advisory Board Members: – University Board members are appointed by the University Provost, in consultation with the dean/director of the regional campus. – Or the University President with the approval of the University Board. – Advisory boards at the regional campuses have no decision making authority but do advise the dean/director at the regional on several issues.

• Provide information about and have an opportunity to examine, discuss, and advise on specific matters including: – Solicitation of funds in support of the campus – Relations with local, state, and federal legislative and administrative agencies. – Naming, location, and maintenance of the respective regional campus plant and grounds. – Appointment, evaluation, or termination of their respective campus dean.
