1. Addressing the 60/120

2.  Lisa Larson, Vice President Academic Affairs  Diane Paulson, Vice President Administrative Services

3.  The sky is falling….  They can’t mean my program…  It will get repealed….

4.  42 AAS or AS degrees over 60 credits  28 seeking waivers  1 award is still considering waiver  12 awards will reduce ◦ 4 of those are at 72 credits ◦ 2 of those are at 66 credits ◦ 1 of those is at 65 credits ◦ 2 of those are at 64 credits ◦ 1 of those is at 63 credits ◦ 1 of those is at 62 credits ◦ 1 of those is at 61 credits

5.  Waivers will be submitted to the OOC on or before June 30, 2009  Faculty will meet in discipline groups for discussion  OOC Representatives will review and analyze submissions and work with colleges and universities on next steps  July 1, 2012 timeline

6.  Presidents of two-year colleges ◦ Desired level of consistency across our system ◦ Uphold a system wide procedural framework that fully embraces:  Integrity of degree content and critical curriculum analyses  Primacy of campus curriculum development activity  Industry and professional skills standards and industry advisory committee guidance in the determination of local and/or regional program content and length

7.  Many questions… ◦ With waiver, how is credit length decided; lowest?, average?, consensus? Other? ◦ With waiver, at what level of CIP will uniformity be expected: 6 digit?, 8 digit?

8.  AAS Degree ◦ Hennepin TC 72 credits ◦ St. Cloud Technical College 63 credits ◦ Alexandria Technical College72 credits ◦ Mn State College – SE Tech72 credits  Diploma ◦ Hennepin TC64 credits ◦ St. Cloud TC51 credits  Certificates ◦ South Central College23 credits ◦ St. Paul College16 credits ◦ Minneapolis CTC25 credits ◦ Alexandria TC16 credits

9.  Assumptions ◦ Loss of credits would impact adjunct more than full-time faculty ◦ Some “lost” curriculum may be redesigned into certificates ◦ Some programs that are granted waivers will still need to reduce credits

10.  FYE loss: 12 awards reducing ◦ 36.5 FYE technical credits ◦ 12.7 FYE general ed credits  Tuition loss: $199,408  Technology fee loss: $8,856  Parking fee loss: $2,361

11.  Programs seeking waivers ◦ One at 96 credits ◦ One at 94 credits ◦ Twenty-four at 72 credits ◦ One at 67 credits ◦ One at 64 credits ◦ Estimating reduction of 151 program credits ◦ Estimating reduction of approx 75 FYE ◦ Tuition and fee loss estimate: $321,075 ◦ Would be reduction in faculty time

12.  Staffing Impact  Instructional Costs  Admin/Student Services Allocation  Tuition and Fee Revenue

13.  Dependent on technical courses reduced  Dependent on ability to offer advanced certificates  Dependent on ability to reassign

14.  Impact dependent on not only HTC’s actions but actions of other colleges  Analyze enrollment and cost associated with eliminated courses  Analyze load of faculty  Analyze needed skills

15.  Effect of 60/120 will not be equal across all institutions  Anticipate a loss in share of allocation

16.  Will decrease due to loss of credits  Focus on increasing enrollment  May increase need for tuition differential
