14. III. FY 2007-08 Capital Reserve Request

15. Capital Reserve Funding Request Center for the Performing Arts Description Construction of the facility will total $21,000,000 and includes $7,000,000 in state appropriated funds previously awarded for construction of the facility, $1,000,000 from the City of Florences state appropriation for its downtown redevelopment project, and a gift of $10,000,000 from the Drs. Bruce and Lee Foundation. The facility will consist of a multipurpose theater that will accommodate 750, a 100-seat black box or experimental theater, several classrooms and offices. The facility will provide instructional and performance space for the theater and music programs of the Universitys Fine Arts Department and provide performance venues to benefit the University community, the City of Florence, and the surrounding Pee Dee area. The City of Florence plans on using this facility as a focal point for their downtown redevelopment initiative. Request - Francis Marion University is requesting $3,000,000 in capital reserve funding for a new 52,000 square foot facility in downtown Florence. The new facility will be constructed through a partnership between FMU and the City of Florence, and partially funded though a substantial private gift from the Bruce and Lee Foundation.

16. Capital Reserve Funding Request Deferred Maintenance Description - FMU is in its 37 th year and many of the academic facilities are reaching a critical stage relative to addressing the progressive, cyclical, and predictable deterioration of the buildings. During 2005, the University defined approximately $3.5 million in deferred maintenance needs within physical structures and an additional $3.7 million outside buildings. Critical needs include mold and mildew abatement in academic buildings and repairs to storm-water collection and sanitary sewer system replacement & repair. Smith University Center - Significant deferred maintenance need exists for repairs to the 8,000 sq. ft. indoor pool and the facility which houses it. Repairs extend to the pool itself, the surrounding walls and ceilings, access doors, and decks. A critical issue is the need to repair and replace corroded air handlers and piping which have caused air quality to drop below acceptable standards. This project is estimated to be $600,000. In a time of reduced state appropriated funding, the postponement of deferred maintenance will only result in higher costs for remedying these situations as conditions worsen over time. Request - Francis Marion University is requesting $1,000,000 in capital reserve funding to address ever increasing deferred maintenance needs, primarily in the Universitys academic and instructional facilities.

18. Below the Line Request Rural Assistance Initiative Description - The Pee Dee region of South Carolina is a primarily rural area of the state characterized by relatively high unemployment and poverty rates. This region needs a program of expert technical assistance that will increase local capacity to undertake rural development projects in various areas, including housing, community facilities, health care, and economic innovation. FMU faculty from several different departments and schoolsBusiness, Nursing, Sociology, Psychology, and Political Sciencewill work with rural communities to assess their health and human services and infrastructure needs and to develop strategies to address those needs. The University will offer technical assistance to rural communities in the Pee Dee region. This assistance will promote rural development and help individuals, businesses, and local communities participate in the global economy. Request - Francis Marion University is requesting $600,000 for an interdisciplinary program to assist rural development in the Pee Dee region of South Carolina.

19. Below the Line Request Teacher Education Initiative Description - In order to enhance the performance of teachers who are already in the classroom, this initiative will provide high quality professional development activities. This program will be focused on closing the educational gap through improving the quality of K- 12 education in the Pee Dee Region. The proposed Teacher Education Initiative would be structured to improve the quality of K- 12 education in the Pee Dee and enhance the ability of pre-service and in-service teachers to work with parents, local school districts, health and human service providers, and the business community to meet the special needs of children living in under funded school districts in the Pee Dee region. In particular, the proposed program is intended to help close the gap between the K-12 educational system and what students need to know and do in order to succeed in post- secondary education. Request - The Francis Marion University School of Education is concentrating on improving the quality of undergraduate and graduate teacher education and preparation in the Pee Dee region of South Carolina. Francis Marion University requests $500,000 for a program to strengthen pre-service teacher education programs in order to attract highly qualified applicants and enable graduates to perform at a very high level in the classroom.

20. Below the Line Request Accreditation Support and Program Enhancement Request - All academic programs at the university that have external accrediting bodies are currently accredited with the exception of Computer Science. Francis Marion University requests $850,000 for funding that will strengthen and extend academic programs and their accreditation. Description Requested funding will be used to provide academic program support and to enhance accreditation efforts in the following areas: All Academic Programs - Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) Early Childhood, Elementary, and Secondary Education - National Council for Accred. of Teacher Educ. (NCATE) Business - Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business-International (AACSB) Visual Arts and Art Education - National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) Theatre Arts - National Association of Schools of Theatre (NAST) Graduate Program in Psychology - Master's in Psychology Accreditation Council (MPAC) Graduate Program in School Psychology - National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) Chemistry - American Chemical Society (ACS) Computer Science Requested funds would allow the university to bring the Computer Science program to the level needed for external accreditation. Other academic programs, such as Accounting, Physics and Astronomy, Visual and Graphic Arts, Psychology, Chemistry, and Education, would benefit from additional resources in order to satisfy the expectations of professional organizations and external accrediting bodies. Funding also needed for activities linked to the SACS reaccreditation effort, including the Quality Enhancement Plan required by SACS that will be a top institutional priority in 2007-08.
