INTRODUCTIONS
Labarca welcomed new general counsel, Jeff Degraffenreid and asked Board members to introduce themselves, and he shared his background.
CAMPUS MASTER PLAN PRESENTATION
Emily Patterson shared the 萝莉社 10-year Campus Master Plan with the board.
The guiding principles for the process were:
Be the Engine for Innovation (Showcase the evolution happening on campus)
Foster a Holistic Culture (Unify the 萝莉社 experience across campuses and buildings)
Think Beyond the Classroom (Build an 18hr Campus)
There were 5 Key Analytical Findings
Highly Utilized Teaching Buildings Require the Most Work
Quality Laboratory Space is Lacking on Campus
College Are Highly Distributed Across Multiple Buildings
Older Buildings are Lacking Student Support Spaces
Office Area Per Person Is High Compared to Industry Standards
Patterson discussed the Framework 鈥� New Program Map of Campus detailing future building sites. Meetings will be held to share this information with campus, partners, and community to build collaboration and excitement for this bold plan.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Labarca motioned to approve the minutes from September 14 and November 9, 2023. Bastian seconded and the motion passed.
FINANCE & AUDIT REPORT
Bruun reviewed all the finance reports and handed out copies of the Board鈥檚 FY 2023 Independent Auditor鈥檚 Report and Annual Statements. Dietz motioned to approve the reports, and McCarthy Snyder seconded. Authorization for Bruun to approve project invoices was motioned by Rouser and seconded by Everett.
BY-LAWS DISCUSSION
Schlapp discussed the need for the By-Laws to be reviewed and updated. The board agreed to have Degraffenreid accomplish this update.
WICHITA STATE UNIVERSITY UPDATE
Muma discussed enrollment with major focus on retention and increased enrollment numbers. He discussed the Cessna Stadium project timeline and next steps.
萝莉社 is rejecting the lone bid, then re-advertising for a construction manager to facilitate a more competitively bid project.
To facilitate a more competitively bid project, 萝莉社 will re-advertise for a construction manager at risk, and work to obtain more competitive bids within the project packages, prior to a June 1, 2024, project start, inclusive of scope contained in Phases 1A & 1B.
萝莉社 will work with KSHSAA to setup more than adequate team camp area, temporary bleachers, and restrooms on the east side, to host a first-class 2024 State High School Track meet, negotiating a financial benefit to KSHSAA, given recent events and pending adjustment to timeline. Within available tools and resources, we will do whatever it takes to keep 2024 State Track in Wichita.
He shared a Wichita Biomedical Center handout and presentation with new renderings of the building and discussed the increased development in the surrounding core area. Wilkins Softball Stadium is on track with phase 1-2 starting this summer. The Shocker Success Center will open Fall 2024. The Marcus Welcome Center addition will be completed next month. He discussed the HUB for Advanced Manufacture which will be constructed southwest of Woolsey. Muma announced that 萝莉社 research expenditures have increased 24% since 2020, mostly in industry led research, raising 萝莉社 to #13 in Engineering Research & Development in the United States.
The board would like an update of the NISS (National Institute for Student Success) enrollment report and student demographics at the April meeting. Labarca adjourned the meeting at 9:50 am.

Susan Johnson
Assistant Secretary

Minutes
Student Success and Persistence Update
Dr. Shirley Lefever updated the board on the Shocker student success center remodel located in Cliton Hall. She shared that the goal of the center was to equalize the six-year graduation rate for all students, focusing on students who are most at risk first-generation, low income and underrepresented populations. The Shocker student success center will become the 鈥渙ne stop鈥� for student services. A question was asked about applied learning and its location on campus. The Career accelerator will be moving to the Marcus Welcome Center so new students can look at job opportunities while being admitted into the University. The board asked for a tour of both the student success center and the welcome Center when construction is completed.
Approval of Board Meeting Minutes
Keith Lawing motioned to approve the minutes from January 25, 2024, seconded by Aron Bastion, motion passed.
Finance & Audit Report
Nancy McCarthy Snyder asked Troy Bruun to review the financial reports with the board. He reviewed the foundation investment report, infrastructure review, Fy 2024 budget to actual review, and the 10-year financial plan. Bruun then presented the FY2025 BOT budget for approval. Kevin McWhorter asked how priorities were determined with the City and County. Andy Schlapp gave a history of how we got to this point with priorities of Capital improvements and scholarships. Essentially the BOT budget is a 60-year living document that has changed with the needs of the community we serve. Currently capital improvements are around 34% of the budget and scholarships around 50% of budget and excess funds are directed to fund presidential priorities. Connie Dietz moved to approve FY 2025 budget, seconded by Junetta Everett, and motioned passed.
University Update
Andy Schlapp gave an update on what is happening at 萝莉社. Much of the discussion focused on Students and how we can help grow the economy and provide the talent needed for the Kansas Workforce. Over 70% of 萝莉社 graduates take jobs in Kansas but more importantly 50% of students from outside of Kansas take jobs in Kansas when they graduate. The national average is around 20. The success of retaining our talent in Kansas through applied learning has been recognized by the State and they funded our program with an additional $5 million dollars.
Draft Minutes
The Wichita Biomedical Campus was funded at 205 million dollars. The groundbreaking will be May 8 at 11 a.m.. USD 259 will develop a future ready center for health care located in the Biomedical corridor.
The Hub for additive manufacturing and research building also received $16 million from the State added to the over $60 million from the Build Back Better Federal Grant. The project will break ground in June of this year. A question was asked if 萝莉社 was part of the Spirit Boeing Conversation. While we are not officially involved in the conversations, we are an interested party and are available to answer research and talent questions when asked.
Respectfully submitted,
Junetta Everett, Board Secretary

No change is requested in this budget item for Fiscal Year 2025.
萝莉社 Undergraduate Support - $4,191,458
In October of 2013, President Bardo announced a new scholarship program for Wichita State University. 萝莉社 will become more assertive about (1) offering scholarship money, and (2) offering scholarships earlier to a larger number of prospective students.

A two percent increase ($8,224) is requested in this budget item for Fiscal Year 2025.
Public Policy and Management Center - $41,133
Budget for the Public Policy and Management Center funds graduate assistants who provide direct support to local governments, nonprofits, and community activities in Sedgwick County.

The city, county and GWEDC have asked the Center to maintain most databases on a county-by-county basis for a ten county service area, as economic development has become a more regional endeavor. The Center has expanded its research, forecasting, database management and economic modeling to better serve business, industry, government, and non-profit groups throughout south-central Kansas. Through its research and programs, the Center has established a reputation for efficient, timely, reliable, and customer-friendly services. The Center contributes directly to the economic development efforts of Wichita, Sedgwick County and Kansas. Beginning January 1, 2017, all Business and Economic Research expenditures are also approved by the Greater Wichita Partnership. A two percent increase ($3,121) is requested for Fiscal Year 2025.

Contingency - $500,000
The Contingency line item will support unanticipated program needs throughout the year. As recommended by Sedgwick County financial officials, $500,000 represents anticipated revenue depending on the financial determination of the actual dollar value of the revenues from the 1.5 Mill Levy. These additional resources may result from unanticipated increases in property valuation. Any unused portion of these funds will be utilized for additional support for the 萝莉社 Merit Scholarship Program.
