The Board of Regents’ BASC committee voted to approve its Academic Year 2025 performance‑report rubric and a package of university programs articulated to systemwide transfer associate degrees during a routine meeting.
Chair Mendoza asked Sam Christy Dangermond to summarize the rubric, which is structured as five equally weighted components (20 points each) totaling 100 possible points. Dangermond said the components include: (1) math‑pathways offerings — at least one section of each of three gateway math courses and a plan to fully implement math pathways by fall 2026; (2) co‑requisite support for those gateway math courses; (3) co‑requisite support for English Composition I; (4) system‑wide English and math course placement measures for a soft launch; and (5) semester‑by‑semester degree maps effective for academic year 2026 (technical colleges are asked to provide equivalent course IDs and hours where applicable). Dangermond noted subcomponents (usually four items worth five points each) and the possibility of half credit in certain cases.
With no substantive edits proposed, Chair Mendoza moved to approve the academic‑year rubric; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote (members present recorded "Aye"). Rusty Monholland clarified that BASC approval puts the rubric in place and does not require full Board action to begin implementation.
On a separate agenda item Dr. Wisscomb reviewed prior Board goals to develop transfer associate degrees and to identify baccalaureate hours that will transfer among the six state universities. The committee approved the set of university programs to be added to the systemwide transfer framework; Washburn is among participating institutions that have added their degrees to the listing.
Earlier in the meeting Chair Mendoza moved to approve the minutes from the Jan. 15 BASC meeting; that motion was seconded and approved by voice.
The committee set its next meeting for Feb. 12 in Topeka and adjourned by voice vote.
