Board-Administration Committee 1. Recommendation to Adopt University Rules: 3361:10-30-01 Research: Export Controls in Sponsored Research 3361:10-30-02 Research: Publication Restrictions in Sponsored Research 3361:10-30-03 Research: Policy on Sensitive but Unclassified Research* The Board of Trustees approved the adoption of the three rules noted above to ensure compliance with a new and complicated national regulatory environment spawned by the 2001 terrorist attacks that has a direct and extensive impact on research. To ensure that all faculty are aware of and in compliance with the new government regulations, a Task Force on Grants and Contracts was established to study and make recommendations in the areas of export controls, publication restrictions, and the management of sensitive but unclassified research. The new rules were proposed by the Task Force. 2. Amendment to University Rule 3361:40-25-01 Health Services: Student Health Insurance* The Board of Trustees approved the amendment to University Rule 3361:40-25-01 regarding student health insurance. The change updated paragraph (B) of the rule to include co-op students. 3. Designation of Officers to Serve as Representatives of the University with Other Organizations (AMENDED) The Board of Trustees approved named officers as representatives of the University to serve as officers, directors, or trustees of designated

organizations. The officers will serve as part of their official responsibilities to the University entitling them to any insurance or indemnity protection to which officers and employees of the University now are or hereafter may become entitled. The list of designated organizations included an inaccurate posting for President Zimpher—the Drake Center Board—and that organization was removed from the list. C. Physical Plant Committee 1. Naming of the Lawn in Lindner Varsity Village The Board of Trustees approved the naming of the “lawn” fronting Lindner Hall and the Fifth Third Arena in the Varsity Village complex as the “Sheakley Lawn.” The naming was in recognition and appreciation of the $1 million gift commitment from Larry Sheakley in honor of his father Raymond D. Sheakley. D. Finance Committee 1. General Receipts Obligations, Zimmer Garden, of the University of Cincinnati The Board of Trustees approved a resolution authorizing the issuance of General Receipts Obligations, Zimmer Garden, not to exceed $3,900,000. The Board further approved the budget to increase the Zimmer Garden project to $3,500,000. The Zimmer Garden project involves the construction of a roof garden that features lawn, perennials, and trees. A pedestal paver system will form the walk that connects to Library Square and Baldwin Quad. A large sculptural element will be set at the east end of the garden space. This project completes the Zimmer roof repair portion of the work that was accelerated last year to prevent interior damage. The 1999-2000 Capital Budget included $3,590,000 for “Zimmer Rehabilitation – Phase I.” That project was increased to $5,869,241 by action of the Board on January 25, 2000. Project segments in the amount of $4,623,690 were used to remove the temporary pavilion, complete design of the roof garden and transfers to the Zimmer auditorium rehabilitation, leaving a deficit authority request need of $2,254,449. Increasing the remaining budget from $1,245,551 by $2,254,449 funds the Zimmer Garden at its required budget of $3,500,000.

Intent to Reimburse Capital Expenditures from Debt Proceeds The Board of Trustees approved a resolution to authorize the Senior Vice President for Planning, Finance, and Community Development or the Treasurer of the University to declare the University’s intent to reimburse capital expenditures from the proceeds of future tax-exempt debt issuances. The declaration of intent does not authorize the issuance of debt, nor does it obligate the University to issue debt. The declaration of intent is required by certain Internal Revenue Service regulations related to the reimbursement of prior capital expenditures from the proceeds of tax-exempt debt issuances.
3.
Additional Project Approval for the Human Resources System Replacement Project The Board of Trustees approved an incremental project budget increase of $13,085,287 (for a total of a $24 million project budget) for the Human Resources Replacement Project. The increase in budget is needed to backfill the University staff positions of those persons temporarily dedicated to the implementation project, for training for the implementation team and end users, for physical space requirements, and for software for infrastructure database, hardware licensing, and integration with other systems. The increase will be funded with local funds and debt proceeds.
Any questions regarding these actions should be directed to the appropriate Vice President. Copies of the minutes of the May 24, 2005, meeting will be published on the Board of Trustees Web page at the University of Cincinnati Web site after approval at the next meeting of the Board of Trustees. May 25, 2005 Office of the Board of Trustees * Rules and rule changes will be effective only after filing with the state of Ohio and after the appropriate waiting period as required by state law. Copies of the rules with effective dates are published on the University of Cincinnati Web site.
