Board of Trustees, 11/17/11

November 16, 2011

Enrollment is up, so is quality

The first year of Ohio State’s plan to increase its overall enrollment has gone pretty much according to plan, OSU’s vice president for enrollment services told the Board of Trustees’ Academic Affairs and Student Life Committee Nov. 3.

Dolan Evanovich told the committee the total university enrollment for this year is 64,429, an increase of 352 students, or 0.5 percent from last year. It’s the first year in a five-year enrollment plan that aims to boost that figure to 7,100 by 2015.

The plan also includes goals that address regional campus enrollment, new freshman numbers and quality, diversity and retention.

This year’s incoming freshmen, for example, had higher composite ACT and SAT scores and more were among the top 10 percent of their high school graduating classes. The enrollment plan calls for new freshmen to have an average 29 on their ACT and have 60 percent rank in the top 10 percent of their classes by 2015.

Evanovich also said Ohio State has maintained its 92.8 percent first-year retention rate from last year, aiming for 95 percent by 2015, and said both the four- and six-year graduation rates climbed as well, to 58.4 percent and 79.7 percent, respectively. The aims for those numbers are 62 percent and 83 percent by 2015.

The Ohio State University Board of Trustees approved a variety of personnel, fiscal and construction-related matters at its meeting Nov. 4.

Charter trustee appointed

The board appointed Corbett Price as a charter trustee of the university, for a three-year term beginning Nov. 5. Price, who earned a master’s degree in health administration at Ohio State in 1975, is CEO of Kurron Capital LLC, a healthcare private equity firm. He also is chairman of Kurron & Co. Inc., a management consulting firm that manages health care companies in the US and abroad.

Price has been deeply involved in service to Ohio State, and in 2008 was honored with an Ohio State University Distinguished Service Award for his contributions to society and academics and his dedication to the university. Price joins Charter Trustee Gilbert Cloyd, who was appointed in October 2009.

New affiliate authorized

The board authorized the university to establish OSU India Gateway LLC as an affiliated entity and the newest Global Gateway office. The India Gateway, expected to open in Mumbai in April 2012, will provide opportunities for Ohio State alumni to network and organize events, a portal for study abroad programs and a base for faculty conducting research in India. In addition, the India Gateway will provide a site for recruitment of Indian students, a classroom facility to allow for academic programming and professional education and training programs for employees of Ohio-based and Indian businesses.

The new entity furthers Ohio State’s strategic commitment to become a top global university and establish a presence for the university in strategic locations. Ohio State opened its first gateway office in Shanghai, China, in 2010.

Comprehensive Breast Center named

The board approved the naming of the Comprehensive Breast Center as the Stefanie Spielman Breast Center. The naming honors the significant contributions Stefanie and her husband, Chris Spielman, have raised for the Ohio State Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute.

Football Complex spaces named

The board approved the naming of spaces inside the Les Wexner Football Complex at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center:

• The Players Private Entrance will be named the Buckeye Private Entrance in recognition of significant contributions to the Woody Hayes Athletic Center made by Kenneth Carpenter in the names of Keith and Brenda Carpenter and Kenneth and Robin Carpenter.
• The practice football field and the Super Bowl Wall will be named The Harold Schumaker Family Football Field and The Super Bowl Wall in recognition of significant contributions to the Department of Athletics by Tina and Byron Trott through the Trott Family Foundation.

Art gallery re-named

Trustees approved re-naming the Farmer Family Art Gallery at Ohio State Lima as the Farmer Family Gallery. The gallery recognizes Martha Farmer, who started the theater program at Ohio State Lima in the 1970s. The new name provides more flexibility for the gallery to include a variety of forms of art.

Building re-named

Trustees approved re-naming the John A. Prior Health Sciences Library as Prior Hall, since the building is no longer used exclusively for a health sciences library.

Personnel actions

The board approved the following personnel appointments:

• Herb Asher has been named senior vice president for Government Affairs, through Sept. 30, 2014.
• Christopher Fairman has been named professor and holder of the Moritz College of Law Alumni Society Designated Professorship in Law in the Moritz College of Law, effective Dec. 1 through Nov. 30, 2016.

• Keith Smith has been reappointed professor and holder of the George R. and Genevieve B. Gist Endowed Chair in Ohio State University Extension in OSU Extension, through June 30, 2016.

• William Shaw, assistant professor emeritus in OSU Extension, who died Aug. 28.
• Donald Young Sr., assistant professor emeritus in OSU Extension, who died Oct. 13.

Pediatric Faculty Practice approved

Trustees approved the creation of the Pediatric Faculty Practice Plan at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. In April, the board approved Faculty Group Practice for physician faculty at Ohio State. The new Pediatric Academic Association Inc. will serve as the faculty practice plan for the faculty physicians who practice at Children’s.

Expression of appreciation

The board expressed appreciation for the work of physician leadership in creating the Faculty Group Practice, the new entity which employs the physician faculty of the College of Medicine.

Construction projects approved

The board authorized the university to enter into professional services contracts for the following project:

Replacement of an Ag Engineering building that was heavily damaged by the September 2010 tornado at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center in Wooster. Total project budget is $13.8 million to be provided by general funds and insurance.

The board authorized the university to enter into or increase construction contracts for the following project:

Construction of a chilled water plant to support the projects and facilities on south campus, including those that are part of the Medical Center Expansion. The facility will have a total chilled water capacity of 17,500 tons and the ability to expand to an additional 12,500 tons. The construction amount is being increased from $72.5 million to $77.3 million, an increase of 6.6 percent, in order to add a seventh chiller to the project to support the Radiation/Oncology facility, the Cancer and Critical Care Tower and other facilities in the Medical Center Expansion Project. Funding for the project comes from university bond proceeds.

Property sale approved

The board authorized the university to sell approximately 17.7 acres of vacant land located on the south side of Eiterman Road, Dublin, to the City of Dublin for a purchase price of $100,500 per acre.

Property accepted

The board authorized the university to accept a gift of 2.5 acres of improved property located at 456 Partridge Bend in Powell. The property, owned by Steven and Barbara Fishman, has been appraised at values of $850,000 and $880,000. The university has agreed to use the property as transitional housing for faculty and staff until it is sold in approximately three years.

In order to comply with the Internal Revenue Code and other applicable laws, regulations and administrative authority and to make certain administrative changes, trustees approved resolutions to:

• Amend and restate the Ohio Public Higher Education Institutions’ Alternative Retirement Plan.

‘Freshman 15’ just a myth, nationwide study reveals

November 16, 2011

By Jeff Grabmeier, Research Communications

Contrary to popular belief, most college students don’t gain anywhere near 15 pounds during their freshman year, according to a new nationwide study.

Rather than adding “the freshman 15,” as it is commonly called, the average student gains between about 2.5 and 3.5 pounds during the first year of college.

What are your five favorite books and why?

Nine Innings by Daniel Okrent. I read a lot of baseball books in grade school and high school, but this one taught me the most, both about the intricacies of baseball and about the psychology of baseball players.Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh and The Secret History by Donna Tartt. I love these two books for many of the same reasons. Each novel plays out in a richly, intimately detailed setting populated with characters who are both alluring and repellent at the same time, which makes for a very engaging experience of reading. These books are so absorbing that their images, their turns of phrase and their tensions stay present in my mind for weeks after I read them.

Goat Song by Brad Kessler. My most passionate hobby for the past few years has been cheese; Kessler provides a poetic and vivid account of the work and the pleasures he experienced while starting up a goat farm and cheesemaking operation in a picturesque Vermont setting in the shadow of a Cistercian monastery.

Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeild. When I was a 7-year-old aspiring ballet dancer, I envied the three sisters’ thrilling lives on the London stage; every detail of their meals, their clothes and their lessons was exotic and mesmerizing. I still read this beloved book once every year or two.

Who is your favorite character (villain or hero) in literature?

The unnamed Whiskey Priest in Graham Greene’s The Power and the Glory. He’s hero, villain and victim all at once.

What is the last book you’ve bought?

Artisan Cheese Making At Home by Mary Karlin.

What’s your guilty pleasure — a book you love but don’t often talk about because it’s not serious literature?

Charms for the Easy Life by Kaye Gibbons. I always have a good cry when I read the scene in which the heroine opens an amazing present sent by her sweetheart.

What books have helped you most in your career?

For research: Michael Lapidge, The Anglo-Saxon Library. A magisterial study of the Latin literature known and taught in England during the early Middle Ages. For teaching: Paul Elie, The Life You Save May Be Your Own: An American Pilgrimage. A biography of four American Catholic authors: Dorothy Day, Thomas Merton, Flannery O’Connor and Walker Percy.

Pelotonia raises record $13.1M

November 16, 2011

Building on the momentum of its first two years, Pelotonia announced record fundraising of $13,108,639 for its 2011 ride. This year’s total reflects a 68 percent fundraising increase over the 2010 amount of $7,846,705.

From August 19-21, 4,986 riders from 38 states and four countries rode up to 180 miles on one of four routes. With support of family, friends, neighbors and associates, riders made it possible for Pelotonia to make an extraordinary contribution to The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute. Funds raised by the grassroots bicycle tour now total $25,467,212 for its first three years of operation.

“Our community has stepped up beyond even the most optimistic expectations. From riders and funding partners to volunteers, each is doing their part to end cancer,” said Tom Lennox, founder and executive director of Pelotonia. “The passion of this group will not be denied. A cure will be found sooner because of their commitment.”

A distinguishing characteristic of Pelotonia is that 100 percent of every dollar raised by riders, virtual riders and volunteers is invested in research initiatives conducted by the OSUCCC – James. Pelotonia and its supporters are proud of this distinction, which is made possible by Pelotonia’s generous funding partners: Limited Brands Foundation, Huntington Bank, Richard and Peggy Santulli, American Electric Power Foundation, Nationwide Insurance and Cardinal Health Foundation. Pelotonia and its riders also benefit greatly from in-kind donations made by numerous local and nationally based companies.

Pelotonia staff presented Pelotonia’s 2011 contribution to President E. Gordon Gee and director of the Ohio State Comprehensive Cancer Center and CEO of the James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute Michael Caligiuri at LC Pavilion in Columbus. More than 1,000 supporters attended this year’s check presentation. Approximately 1,700 volunteers worked throughout the year on behalf of Pelotonia.

“I am deeply grateful to all of those who were part of Pelotonia’s remarkable success,” said Gee. “Few forces are mightier than when people come together in good will to fight for a common cause. And I can think of no nobler cause than curing cancer through funds raised in Pelotonia.”

“Thanks to the tireless efforts of Pelotonia riders, donors, sponsors and volunteers, all of the money raised by Pelotonia will help fund ‘high-risk, high-reward’ innovative cancer research at The Ohio State University,” Caligiuri said. “Some of our most recently funded research projects include team science awards with experts from disciplines across the university working together to generate new discoveries and exploring novel therapies for treating blood, breast, liver, prostate and skin cancers.”

The resources raised by Pelotonia support a variety of research projects addressing all aspects of cancer, including diagnosis, treatment, psychosocial issues and prevention. The Pelotonia Fellowship Committee awards fellowships to distinguished student scientists in the undergraduate, graduate, postdoctoral and medical school programs.

Pelotonia Idea Grants allow promising and creative investigators to engage in a variety of cancer research projects. Projects currently funded by Pelotonia Idea Grants include the early detection and prevention of pancreatic cancer; tests to determine the most effective therapies for triple-negative breast cancer; influences of heredity in cancer development and possible new prevention and treatment strategies; and the development of a new drug to fight breast cancer and leukemia.

Pelotonia 2012 is scheduled for August 10-12. Rider registration will open on January 10 at pelotonia.org.

At WOSU, it’s a prize worth pursuing

By Adam King
