USI Board approves interim budget for Fall 2020
University Steering Committee decisions announce
The University of Southern Indiana Board of Trustees met in executive and special session today, May 28, to be apprised of a number of topics related to how the University is dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, the opening of campus and the upcoming Fall 2020 Semester.
In special session, the Trustees approved an interim University operating budget for the upcoming Fall Semester, ensuring all faculty and staff will be paid in full through December 31, 2020. The approved budget allows the University to maintain the necessary workforce to deliver academic programming for students and will support the State of Indiana’s efforts to preserve economic stability for all Hoosiers.
“The approval of the interim budget is vital for USI’s employees to have a sense of security so they can continue offering academic excellence and services to our students,†said Ronald S. Rochon, USI President. “In a time where unemployment rates are at historic highs, thanks to our Trustees, we will be whole until the end of the year.â€
Based on recommendations from three core committees representing the University’s 125-member COVID-19 task force and in consultation with medical and health professionals, the USI Steering Committee today announced a number of decisions made regarding the upcoming Fall Semester via Zoom sessions open to USI students, employees and retirees.
Academic Delivery and Calendar
The University will utilize a flexible course delivery model for the Fall Semester to accommodate varying circumstances for the student body. With this model, considering social distancing and safety practices, students will be on campus for face-to-face courses and a combination of technology-enhanced, hybrid and online formats. Each college will offer a diverse selection of courses with a variety of delivery modes to ensure a positive campus experience for students. Course offerings by type will be available later this summer.
The Steering Committee also announced revisions to the Fall 2020 Academic Calendar. The revised calendar converts Assessment Day and Fall Break to instructional days. All courses after Thanksgiving recess will be instructed online for one week, followed by a week of finals.
Student Housing
Student Housing will be open for the Fall Semester. After much deliberation and consultation with medical authorities, the University will open campus housing to a maximum of 85% occupancy. There will be apartment buildings left intentionally vacant with individual bedrooms and bathrooms reserved for possible quarantine use. Special training and contact tracing protocols will be given to all those who work in Housing and Residence Life, including all Resident Assistants.
Commencement
As previously communicated, Spring Commencement has been re-scheduled to take place in August. To allow for adequate social distancing and cleaning between ceremonies in the Screaming Eagles Arena, the ceremonies are scheduled as follows:
- Friday, August 14: Graduate Studies, 6 p.m.
- Saturday, August 15: Romain College of Business, 9 a.m.; College of Liberal Arts, 2 p.m.
- Sunday, August 16: Pott College of Science, Engineering, and Education, 9 a.m.; College of Nursing and Health Professions, 2 p.m.
Specific information and instructions will be provided to all graduates over the summer. Commencement celebrations are subject to current state and federal guidelines related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Campus Reopening
Based on review of task force committee reports to date and the campus work underway or completed to enhance safety, the campus will be ready to reopen to the public and employees on Monday, July 6. The Steering Committee conducted a walkthrough of campus this week to survey the extensive progress that has been made. The campus opening date is subject to change given updates in state and federal guidelines related to the COVID-19 pandemic. More details will be communicated by supervisors closer to the opening date.
COVID-19 Pandemic Employee Considerations
Older employees [defined as age 65 and older by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)] and employees of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions might be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19, and may contact Human Resources (HR) to request alternative work arrangements or considerations. HR may also be contacted to submit a request for alternative work arrangements or considerations, if an employee has a household family member in any of the high-risk categories outlined by the CDC.
The CDC considers the following underlying health conditions and risk factors:
- Asthma
- Chronic lung disease (such as COPD, emphysema, chronic bronchitis)
- Diabetes
- Serious heart disease (including pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, coronary artery disease, congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathies)
- Chronic kidney disease
- Severe obesity (BMI at 40 or higher)
- Persons with weakened immune systems (including cancer treatment, bone marrow or organ transplantation, immune deficiencies, HIV with a low CD4 cell count or not on HIV treatment, and prolonged use of corticosteroids and other immune weakening medications).
The process for submitting a request for alternative work arrangements is currently being developed by Human Resources.
UE Athletics partners with Jeremy Darlow
Aces student-athletes to benefit with exclusive experience
The University of Evansville Athletics Department has joined forces with one of the top sports marketing professionals in the business – Jeremy Darlow – to provide Purple Aces student-athletes with a one-of-a-kind experience through utilization of the DARLOW Rules program.
The DARLOW Rules is the only online marketing course that is dedicated to teaching college athletics how to build personal brands that transcend sports. The goal is to set them up for success in life, regardless of what happens after their athletic careers. Only 2% of NCAA student-athletes make it to the professional level with 98% set to enter the workforce after graduation.
“We are excited to introduce our student-athletes to the DARLOW rules, which we feel are tremendously educational on how individuals should build and protect their personal branding,†UE Director of Athletics Mark Spencer said. “The concepts in the program work very closely with topics we already focused on with our student-athletes and their development as marketable individuals and University of Evansville community representatives.â€
This course is based on using traditional marketing tactics and techniques to teach college athletes how to build a desirable brand, recognize and grow their influence, target and identify their potential audience and develop strong communication platforms.
Evansville is just the third mid-major program and only non-football institution in the country to be chosen to participate in the DARLOW Rules course. UE is the only Missouri Valley Conference school to partner with Darlow. Student-athletes will watch a short video lesson covering one of Darlow’s philosophies on brand development. At the end of each video they are given a homework assignment found in their copy of Darlow’s new book, The Darlow Rules. Those homework assignments make up portions of the student’s personal brand marketing plan.
Jeremy Darlow is a leading brand consultant and former director of marketing for adidas football and baseball. He is an adjunct marketing professor, and author of the best-selling books “Brands Win Championships,†a branding guidebook for college sports programs, and “Athletes Are Brands Too,†an athlete’s roadmap to building a stronger personal brand.
“The Evansville staff made it clear to me from our very first conversation that the athletic department’s mission is to set their athletes up for success in life, not just sports,†Darlow exclaimed. “I fully endorse this athletic department and I’m proud to be a partner.â€
Over his career, Darlow has worked with and built marketing plans for some of the most heralded athletes, celebrities, and NCAA programs in and around sports, including Aaron Rodgers, Von Miller, Dak Prescott, Kris Bryant, Carlos Correa, Lionel Messi, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Snoop Dogg, Kanye West, Notre Dame, Michigan, UCLA, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Texas A&M.
“To be able to partner with someone with Jeremy’s credentials is a huge opportunity for our department, and more importantly, our student-athletes,†Aces Assistant Athletic Director for Marketing and Fan Engagement Scott Peace said. “The student-athletes will be able to learn from one of the biggest names and brightest minds in brand marketing.â€
Current UE student-athletes will be given access to the course over the summer of 2020 with the expectation to have it completed by the start of the fall semester. In the years to follow, the program will be used to welcome new student-athletes to the University of Evansville.
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING – UE COACHES
 Todd Lickliter – Head Men’s Basketball Coach:
“Preparing our student-athletes for their lives after college is something that we take great pride in with our program and at the University of Evansville. This partnership provides them with an additional resource that will benefit them throughout their careers.â€
 Mat Mundell – Head Softball Coach:
“I am thrilled that UE is able to give our student-athletes access to the DARLOW Rules! This will be a great opportunity for them to grow off the field of competition and further enhance their future endeavors.”
 Stuart Wilson – Head Swimming and Diving Coach:
“The DARLOW Rules program is a great opportunity for a lot of these athletes, helping to open up doors and is going to make them more successful as they leave UE.â€
 Fernando Morales – Head Volleyball Coach:
“I am excited about this partnership, the more I learn about DARLOW and his project, the more I think this is going to be big for UE Athletics. All student-athletes, coaches and the whole department will benefit a lot from this partnership.â€
 Chris Pfau – Head Women’s Soccer Coach
“What an honor it is to be selected as a DARLOW Rules Program. This program recognizes institutions that value their student-athletes as more than an athlete. It believes in building the character and strength of each student. While fostering this culture, we will equip our Aces for success in their future. UE is the only MVC school selected for this program and the first school that does not carry a football program. That says a lot about UE and our commitment to student-athletes.â€
 Jim Hamilton – Head Men’s and Women’s Golf Coach
“Sounds like a great opportunity, another strategy to help our student-athlete succeed.â€
 Wes Carroll – Head Baseball Coach:
“I really look forward to this partnership with DARLOW Rules. This is such a great opportunity for our student-athletes to get prepared for the work force when their playing career is done.â€
 Matt Ruffing – Head Women’s Basketball Coach:
“Anything that you can do to enhance student-athlete’s chance to be successful, especially after graduation, is key. I think this really sets up our student-athletes and our future athletes to be able to brand themselves. It’s going to take off and be something we look back and were happy we were able to be a part of.â€
 Don Walters – Head Track and Field and Cross Country Coach
“Great opportunity for our student-athletes to brand themselves to be successful in their future plans.â€
 Marshal Ray – Head Men’s Soccer Coach
“The Darlow Athlete Brand Development Program aligns perfectly with the University of Evansville’s mission of preparing our student-athletes to face the challenges that lie ahead. We recruit individuals who value sport and all it has to offer while understanding the importance of preparing for life after the final whistle, whenever that may occur. Darlow’s program teaches student-athletes how to navigate the ever-changing landscape of social media to best position themselves to succeed in a competitive world.â€
