Management plans will be developed by the appropriate reviewing body or individual in conjunction with the employee and must be approved by [Next Senior Official]. 7.4 Prospective and Retrospective Approval In rare instances, outside activity may be approved retrospectively when the individual is called upon to assist in an emergency or urgent situation where it would be impossible or unreasonable to obtain advance approval. In such cases, the activity must be fully disclosed and approval sought from the appropriate authority as soon as reasonably possible. Some activity may also be prospectively approved, for up to one year, when an individual describes to the approving authority as fully as

[NOTE: The following language is suggested and may be revised, subject to approval by the EVC and OGC.] Members of the faculty have flexibility in using their time to prepare for teaching and engage in research and other scholarly activity. Other responsibilities, such as presenting lectures, being available to meet with students, and participating in university committees, have more rigid time demands. During the academic term in which a faculty member holds a fulltime appointment, the faculty member must attend to all their duties and responsibilities and meet the minimum academic workload requirements, but may be permitted to engage in an average of no more than ____hours18 days of all approved outside activity during university time (defined in Sec. 16, below8) each _______, long semester, so long as the activity does not reasonably appear to create a conflict of interest, does not interfere with the faculty member’s [INSTITUTION]institutional duties and responsibilities, and clearly contributes to the mission of [INSTITUTION]UT Dallas or provides important elements of faculty professional development related to their [INSTITUTION]institutional duties and responsibilities. [NOTE: TThe maximum amount of time set by the institution may be expressed in time or percent of appointment but under no circumstances may the total offor outside activity during university time for faculty or staff may not exceed an average of one day per week during the term of an appointment (or semi-annually, for staff), without the explicit express approval of the President and a written documented management plan.]                                                              4

Sec. 10 Accounting for Outside Board Service Accounting for Outside Board Service (a) Uncompensated Outside Board Service of Direct Benefit to U.T., other than scholarly boards pre-approved under Sec. 6.1(c)(i), above. Regents’ Rule 30104 recognizes the benefit to be derived by U. T. institutions from outside board service. After thorough consideration of the time commitment, certain service on outside boards may be deemed to be of sufficient benefit to [INSTITUTION]UT Dallas that certain service may be performed on university time. The service: (i)

must be service on a nonreligious board;

(ii)

must be uncompensated (other than for reimbursement of usual and customary expenses);

(iii)

requires prior approval (except for board service pre-approved under Sec. 9(a); and

(iv)

requires disclosure.

(b) Compensated Board Service or Service to a Religious Organization. Service on an outside board for which the employee is compensated and any service to a religious organization whether or not compensated must be disclosed and requires prior approval except as noted below at (c).on the individual’s own time. (i)

If the service occurs during normal office hours, the individual must use vacation time, compensatory time, or other appropriate leave or approved arrangements while providing the service unless approved 10 

 

MODEL HOP (UTS 180)UT DALLAS LOCAL 180 POLICY            because of unusual circumstances such as service on a Board with a business relationship to the University. (ii)

The service must be without cost to U. T. System or its institutionsDallas.

(iii)

Service to a local religious congregation that is primarily personal does not require prior approval and does not need to be disclosed, regardless of compensation. Service on the board of a religious organization that provides services that the employee’s U.T. institution providesprovided by UT Dallas, such as an religious hospital or academic institution, requires prior approval and must be disclosed. Service to a local religious congregation that is primarily personal does not require prior approval and does not need to be disclosed, regardless of compensation.

(iv)

Compensated service on a nonreligious board requires prior approval and must be disclosed, except as noted at (c), below.

(c) Board Service or Activity that is Personal. Participation (regardless of compensation) on outside boards or activity in which the service is primarily personal rather than professional in nature and is done on one’s own time is permitted without the requirement of approval or disclosure if it does not create a conflict of interest or conflict of commitment or the appearance of a conflict of interest or conflict of commitment. Examples include boards of the following nature—a municipality; local religious congregation; neighborhood association; public, private or parochial school; political organization; social advocacy organization; youth sports or recreation league; affinity group such as the local orchid society or model train collectors club; and other similar outside boards.

In rare instance, outside activity may be approved retrospectively when the individual is called upon to assist in an emergency or urgent situation where it would be impossible or unreasonable to obtain advance approval. In such cases, the activity must be fully disclosed and approval sought from the appropriate authority as soon as reasonably possible. Some activity may also be prospectively approved, for up to one year, when an individual describes to the approving authority as fully as reasonably possible the general nature and extent of anticipated, but not confirmed, outside opportunities. In any event, whether previously approved or not, employees should ensure they notify their chair, dean, or supervisor in advance when they will be missing specific responsibilities. Sec. 1012 Confidential Outside Activity. If an individual wishes to engage in an activity for which some or all of the relevant information is confidential, the approving authority may nonetheless approve the activity without requiring full written disclosure upon satisfaction that there is a compelling reason to treat the information confidentially and the activity is otherwise fully compliant with this policy and all other applicable laws and [INSTITUTION]UT Dallas and U. T. System policies. Sec. 13

Dual Employment. In addition to the requirements of this policy, employees may hold other nonelective offices or positions of honor, trust, or profit with the State of Texas or the United States if holding the other offices or positions is of benefit to the State of Texas or is required by State or federal law and if there is no conflict between holding the office or position and the employee’s position with UT Dallas. Before an employee may accept an offer to serve in such offices or positions, the employee must obtain approval from the President and the Board of Regents via the Consent Agenda.

Job Market Need – Provide short- and long-term evidence of the need for graduates in the job market.

Business Analytics is an emerging area driven by the wide availability of massive volumes of business data. The availability of business data is made possible by innovation in information technology including the Internet and Mobile devices that allow firms to capture data on a large scale. The “big data” phenomenon as it is commonly referred to in the industry is pervasive and cuts across multiple disciplines including marketing, operations, and finance, and across diverse industries such as healthcare, financial services, and retail. Currently companies are grappling with the challenges of managing and analyzing big data which are characterized by huge volume, velocity, variety, and value. The emergence of big data phenomenon has also given rise to a variety of new job titles, job descriptions, and responsibilities. For instance, some companies have created a job title “data scientist” to refer to a person that is engaged in performing sophisticated analysis of data and deriving deep business insights. Often, as stated in the Oct. 1, 2012 InformationWeek article under title “Data Scientist Jobs Hiding Under Less Sexy Titles” (http://www.informationweek.com/big-data/news/big-data-analytics/data-scientistjobs-hiding-under-less-se/240008222#), firms often advertise for these analytics positions under various keywords. This is possibly because the analytics field is very new, and there are few degree programs in the country that prepare students specifically in the analytics discipline which requires wide-ranging interdisciplinary skills. On July 15, 2013, the job site indeed.com listed 37,568 job openings in data analytics, and out of these 2,272 were in Texas and 972 were in the DFW area. On the same day, Dice.com which is a more specialized career site for information technology professionals, listed 3,362 openings for data analytics positions, out of which 105 were in DFW area. Recent surveys have documented a growing demand for analytics professionals. In Dice’s January hiring report, “data analysts/analytics” was listed as No. 4 overall by more than 1,000 surveyed hiring managers and recruiters asked to identify the talent or skill-set they consider the most important in 2013. The Dallas-Fort Worth area is home to several firms that have launched significant initiatives in the business analytics area. For example, AT&T has setup a new division that

New Program Request Form for Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees Page 3

focuses on big data. Other firms that are heavy users of big data include Texas Instruments, Dr Pepper Snapple, Pepsi/FritoLay, Fossil, Atmos Energy, Sabre, Rent-A-Center, and Capital One. Several leading firms in the telecommunications industry, such as Alcatel Lucent, Ericsson, Samsung and Cisco, which deal with big data also have a significant presence in the DFW area. All these firms demand not only well-educated potential employees but also educational programs to improve the current employees’ knowledge and skills in data analytics. For instance, on August 28, 2013, AT&T alone had 9 job openings related to big data posted in monster.com. The need for analytics professionals is increasing in other parts of Texas also. For example, Mu Sigma, one of the largest global analytics consulting firm, recently announced that it will open an analytics center in Austin that will employ upto 300 data scientists (http://www.analyticsmagazine.org/special-articles/884-mu-sigma-to-open-analytics-center-in-austin-texas). Hence there is a clear need for analytics professionals who are taught to analyze large volumes of data, improve business processes and formulate business strategies to compete in a highly competitive global economy. The recent internship/full-time employment trend among students of MS in Information and Technology Management degree program at UT Dallas indicates that increasingly more students work in projects related to data analytics. Our conversations with industry advisory board members indicate that the trend will continue in coming years. In response to the increasing demand for manpower with analytics expertise nationwide, a few universities have launched specialized masters programs in business/data analytics in recent years. Some of the prominent analytics programs include those offered by North Carolina State University, Northwestern University, New York University, and Carnegie Mellon University. In the state of Texas, the University of Texas at Austin admitted its first batch of approximately 50 students into its newly created Analytics program in Fall 2013. Many of the analytics programs have about 50 -80 students. The relatively small number of programs that exist now and the small number of graduates each of these programs produces annually suggest that the demand for professionals with analytics expertise is unlikely to be satisfied. In fact, a study by McKinsey Global Institute forecasts by 2018, the United States alone could face a shortage of 140,000 to 190,000 people with deep analytical skills. Therefore, the need for UT Dallas’ proposed MS in Business Analytics degree is high. Furthermore, the lack of a similar degree program in the DFW region enhances the need for it even more. The proposed degree program has also received endorsements from Brian Bonner, Chief Information Officer, Texas Instruments and Mark Austin, Vice President, Data Insights, AT&T. These endorsements clearly state the need for graduates with proficiency in data analytics. The Appendix contains the letters of endorsement.

B.

Student Demand – Provide short- and long-term evidence of demand for the program.

Dallas-Fort Worth area is growing rapidly. According to Dallas Morning News, the population of the DFW area grew 2% between 2011 to 2012, which was the largest increase in the among major metro areas, with 2012 metro population of more than 6.7 million. Industrial growth in the North Texas, especially in telecommunications, management consulting, defense, and high tech industries, has contributed to the growth in population.

New Program Request Form for Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees Page 4

The University of Texas at Dallas has also been growing significantly in recent years. The Fall 2012 student population exceeds 19700 which exceeds the enrollment in Fall 2019 by 15%. It plans to further in the coming years. The School of Management (SOM) is UTD’s largest school with an enrollment of nearly 6600 students. SOM is growing rapidly, with a total enrollment that has more than doubled over the last decade. This exponential growth requires us to enrich our offerings at the MS level to serve the diverse needs of the student body. The proposed business analytics degree is a step in that direction. Due to the above indicated growths in population, industry and student bodies, plus a broad and growing applicability of business analytics, we expect to have a large student demand for the Business Analytics program. As an indication of Business Analytics’s popularity among students, the annual enrollments in our business intelligence courses (MIS 6324 and MIS 6334) have consistently exceeded 150 in the last two years. As another indication of this popularity, the information systems area offers a non-degree certification program in data mining and business intelligence; the number of students obtaining this certificate has increased from 72 in the 200910 academic year to more than 120 in the 2012-13 academic year. The popularity of these despite the fact they are not as comprehensive as the proposed degree, suggests that the demand of the MS in business analytics degree program will be strong. We do expect a few of our students that would have chosen the analytics tracks in other degree programs such as MS in Marketing and MS in Information Technology and Management in the absence of a MS in Business Analytics program to switch to the new degree, and thus reducing the demand for those existing degree programs. C.

Quality

The proposed curriculum below has been developed with the help of existing industry advisory board members of information systems, marketing, and operations management areas, as well as participants of an industry panel on business analytics held at the Jindal School of Management in May 2013. These are 1) recognized professionals in the field of business analytics; 2) hold important managerial positions in their respective industries and firms; and 3) have significant influence on training and hiring business intelligence/analytics professionals. The three members that participated in the panel are:   

Argo Data: Texas Instruments: Rent-A-Center:

Ted Martin VP, Analytics Baveja Hurshaman Director, Decision Support Maureen Short Senior VP, Reporting and Analytics

During the Spring and Summer semesters of 2013, the area coordinators of Information systems, Marketing, and Operations Management worked closely with SOM faculty members that teach analytics-related courses to identify the skill-sets and knowledge base that are essential for analytics professionals. Curricula of similar programs at other universities and the analytics certification requirements developed by the Institute for Management Science, the premier professional society for Management Science professionals, were consulted to identify the key features of the proposed curriculum. Mapping those identified skills and knowledge base into individual courses and training processes, the faculty then developed the curriculum for the proposed program, which we believe represents the most broad and rigorous Masters program in Business Analytics in the nation.

Curriculum – Use these tables to identify the required courses and prescribed electives of the program. Note with an asterisk (*) courses that would be added if the program is approved. (Add and delete rows as needed. If applicable, replicate the tables for different tracks/options.)

The curriculum has set of core courses, and a set of electives in analytics organized into different tracks. The core courses provide a broad and strong foundation in the business analytics area. The core covers statistics and econometrics, predictive modeling, decision and optimization (prescriptive) modeling, and data management. The analytics electives provide students an opportunity to obtain in-depth analytics knowledge in a specific domain/industry. The specialization tracks that a student can choose from include Marketing Analytics, Decision and Operations Analytics, Financial Analytics, Healthcare Analytics, and IT for Analytics. Some of the analytics tracks are similar to the concentrations/tracks found in other degree programs (e.g., Marketing Analytics track in the MS in Marketing degree program, and Business Intelligence and Data Mining track in the MS in Information Technology and Management degree program). However, those programs are designed to provide depth of knowledge in the functional area with a limited exposure to analytics in the area, The goal of the MS in Business Analytics program is to provide significant depth in the analytics domain, along with sufficient breadth in a business discipline for effective use of analytics in that discipline. A student finishing the proposed program will have a strong set of skills in a wide variety of modeling and analysis techniques that include statistical, optimization, econometric, and decision theoretical methods. Every student would have also applied his/her modeling and analysis knowledge in a real-life problem, which would also have involved additional skills difficult to teach in a classroom setting such as structuring a real-life problem, analyzing client requirements, and communicating the recommendations obtained using the model to management. Furthermore, since the appropriate use of analytics requires knowledge about the domain where it is applied, the students graduating with this degree would have adequate expertise in a specific domain/industry and will be able to contribute as a productive member of the analytics group in that domain/industry. The curriculum for the program is as follows. Prefix and Number

D.

Library – Provide the library director’s assessment of library resources necessary for the program. Describe plans to build the library holdings to support the program.

Dr. Ellen Safley, Dean of Libraries, UT Dallas, made the following assessment:

New Program Request Form for Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees Page 10

Our current collection of materials in the field of Business Analytics is substantial and adequate enough to begin a master’s degree in this specialized discipline. The Library will add at least 1 new journal title in support of the degree within the first 5 years of the implementation. Secondly, the Library will increase its selection of monographic materials by 125 titles during the same period. The Library has sufficient funds to purchase these additional materials. The total budget estimate is $28,125. JOURNAL: $15,625 ($3,125 per year for 5 years of the journal titled International Business Analytics) BOOKS: $12,500 for the monographic materials).

E.

Facilities and Equipment – Describe the availability and adequacy of facilities and equipment to support the program. Describe plans for facility and equipment improvements/additions.

The School of Management Building was constructed in 2002, with cutting-edge computing and other teaching facilities and technologies. Furthermore, a new building is being added to the school and will be ready by Fall 2014. The buildings offer adequate facilities and equipment, in terms of office and class-room spaces, computing and research and teaching resources, to accommodate the proposed program. Since we expect the overall student population to increase because of the program, there may be a need to increase the computer hardware and software resources. We budget an additional $5000 per year for 5 years after the introduction of the program to acquire hardware and software resources. F. Accreditation – If the discipline has a national accrediting body, describe plans to obtain accreditation or provide a rationale for not pursuing accreditation. Currently, the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) is the accreditation body that accredits business school programs, their standards for a business school can be found at http://www.aacsb.edu/accreditation/standards.asp. The School of Management was accredited by AACSB in 2002 and this was reviewed and reaffirmed in 2012. The review cycle for the maintenance of accreditation is now every five years by AACSB and this program if approved along with the existing programs will be reviewed again in 2017. If approved, the proposed degree (being a part of our current MS degree programs) is considered to meet the stated standards until the next review in 2017. G. Evaluation – Describe procedures for evaluation of the program and its effectiveness in the first five years of the program, including admission and retention rates, program outcomes assessments, placement of graduates, changes of job market need/demand, ex-student/graduate survey, or other procedures. How would evaluations be carried out?

New Program Request Form for Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees Page 11

1. Proper records to be maintained and analyzed about applicants, admission and retention rates, job placements, etc. 2. Surveys of current and former students to be done annually, on their performance and satisfaction about the program. 3. Bi-annual surveys of employers to be done, about industry trend pertaining to supply chain management profession and needs. 4. Program assessments based on student performance on specific evaluation questions on exams, teaching evaluations and placement data will be done annually. The Masters Committee and Area evaluate and make changes to programs based on the assessments. 5. Program assessments provided in the university’s academic program review policy. III.

Proposed Professional Certificate Program Title:

Certificate in Cyber Security Systems (CCSS)

School: Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science (ECS) and the Naveen Jindal School of Management (JSOM) Contacts:

ECS – Stephen Yurkovich (Systems Engineering), [email protected]; ECS – Kamil Sarac (Computer Science, [email protected]; JSOM – Mark Salamasick, [email protected]

Implementation Date: January 2014 (Spring 2014 semester) Introduction/Description: Security of data is growing in importance for a large variety of everyday “systems”. The most visible systems are in the medical field, public utilities, communications via email and mobile phones, government record-keeping systems, transportation, education and finance. The list of such vulnerabilities is large and growing: attacks on functionality of networks and systems; malware, worms, and Trojan horses; botnets and zombies; fake security software warnings; social network attacks and so on. Threats are arising more and more on the personal level as well; to wit, recent estimates are that mobile threats account for more than half of all malware, and a growing number of mobile apps are now malicious. Cyber security involves protecting information as well as the critical systems that process, store and manipulate such information in the presence of increasing threats, including multiple aspects of hardware, software and management systems. The volume and sophistication of cyber security threats point to a critical demand for research and education in the general area of cyber security, which is highly interdisciplinary by nature. Elements form computer science, systems engineering, and information technology management form the basis for systems-related technologies to secure typical vulnerabilities. In addressing this growing critical demand, the Certificate in Cyber Security Systems (CCSS) offered at UT Dallas provides a joint program between the ECS (engineering and computer science) and JSOM (internal audit and information technology management), with a natural home in the Department of Systems Engineering (SYSE). The existing Systems Engineering and Management MS degree (MS-SEM) is a joint program between ECS and JSOM and also has its home in SYSE; therefore, the academic environment developed to date in SYSE for the MSSEM program is well suited for the new CCSS. Moreover, faculty from the Department of Computer Science at UT Dallas actively participate in the MS-SEM degree by teaching several existing courses. As proposed, the CCSS is an interdisciplinary program with three specialized tracks: emphasis in Computer Science (denoted CS, within ECS), emphasis in Systems Engineering and 1 September 18 2013

Management (denoted SYSM, within ECS), and emphasis in Internal Audit and IT Management (denoted IA/IM within JSOM). It is important to note that each track consists of one common course in the fundamentals of cyber security (taught every semester) and three additional courses (taught at least once each year) specific to the individual tracks, for a total of 12 semester credit hours.

Job Market and Student Demand: Overview The target customers for this program will range from current students, to future national and international students, to colleagues from local and regional industry in various sectors that architect, develop, engineer, manufacture, manage, plan or research all aspects related to systems where cyber security is important. This includes several fields in engineering as well as financial, human resources or project or program management of large and complex systems. To help identify these targets, in 2012 an informal survey was conducted wherein approximately 180 companies were asked to respond to questions concerning their cyber security training and education needs; Appendix A includes a report on the results of that survey. The target vertical sectors could, therefore, be fairly wide-ranging – information assurance systems; information and communications technology (ICT) systems; healthcare systems; energy, environment and infrastructure systems; medical systems; macro-economic and financial systems; aerospace, defense and space systems; transportation systems; etc. The choice of specialization tracks within the CCSS will be driven by market demand from specific industry sectors and companies willing to hire graduates from and sponsor employees through this program. Job Market The National Security Agency (NSA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) designated the UT Dallas as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Research. The University was also named a Center of Academic Excellence by the Department of Homeland Security. The US Cyber Security market in 2011 was $63.7 billion, and is expected to grow to about $120.1 billion by 2017. The federal government's total cumulative cyber security spending will be $55 billion between 2010 and 2015, growing at approximately 6.2% CAGR over the next six years The National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) says the demand for improved cyber security education is a critical need in bolstering America’s future workforce. Today, the United States faces a deficit in the number of cyber security professionals, and predictions of the growing need are worrisome. Estimates from a recent study by ISC2 and Frost and Sullivan reveal a need for more than 700,000 new information security professionals in the Americas by 2015. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates there will be 295,000 new IT jobs created in the United States between 2008 and 2018 — many of which will require cyber security expertise. This data (see below) points out a great responsibility within the U.S. education system and other industry groups to help produce cyber capable citizens.

Based on the above discussion and these statistics, it is clear that the field of cyber security systems comprises of a wide range of areas – traditional computer science, traditional engineering management, as well as segments of traditional - electrical engineering, hardware and software engineering, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, aerospace engineering, transportation engineering, operations research and others, representing a large portion of the engineering, computer science, and management population. Moreover, these statistics reflect exciting job growth and economic development opportunities for the UT Dallas and the North Texas Metropolitan area. Student Demand Data compiled recently across various high-tech sectors relevant to the field of cyber security indicates a sizable relevant professional population in the DFW Metroplex. Even if a small percentage of these are assumed to be engineers and managers, and we further assume that 1

engineers and managers typically renew their skills every 10 years, a large potential total available market of engineers and managers exists who would need training in cyber security systems every year in the DFW area alone. This not only indicates a growing job market, but also a growing need for a structured Certificate program readily available to potential students. Interests in the topical areas for the CCSS have been verified in discussions with local companies – Dell, McAfee, Intel, IBM, Deloitte, to name just a few – along with an initial interest in potential commitment of employees to send through this program. Moreover, governmental organizations – Department Homeland Security, FBI, Electric Reliability Council of Texas, City of Dallas – have shown a keen interest as well. As a further indicator of student demand, programs in this field have developed in several tier-1 schools across the United States, and research in the area is also strongly supported. Relation to Other Certificated Programs There exists a graduate level certificate program in information assurance (IA) in the Computer Science department at UT Dallas. That program is intended for students who enroll in an MS degree program in ECS only, requiring students to complete 15 credit hours by taking a number of graduate level IA core courses (two-four) together with a number of graduate level IA enhanced courses (three-one). The program lists about 10 IA core and 10 IA enhanced courses that qualify for this program. A significant majority of the courses in this program are specialized technical courses that require a significant level of preparation in core computer science domain. In other words, as stated above, this program is designed mainly for students who are pursuing a graduate level degree in ECS such as MS or PhD in computer science or in software engineering or in telecommunication engineering programs. Many of the classes in this program require prerequisite knowledge typically obtained by taking some other senior level courses or graduate level courses in the CS department. As a result, the target audience for this program is rather limited to students pursuing degrees in the Computer Science department. On the other hand, cyber security is an interdisciplinary field where there is a significant need for people with both computer science related technical skills in IA as well as systems design and engineering related skills. The proposed CCSS program requires 12 credit hours as opposed to 15 credit hours in the existing IA certificate program in the CS department. Within the CS Track alone, students are provided the basic fundamental knowledge of cyber security topics at the computer systems level as well as application and network layers. As a result, with the added diversity of systems engineering and management, and internal audit/information management, the proposed CCSS program is designed to be more reachable by students with different technical backgrounds and requires a manageable and balanced effort to successfully complete the program. Enrollment Projections Based upon strong interests expressed by a number of area companies and government agencies, and other members of the JSOM and ECS Advisory Boards, we expect to have a commitment from these companies to send a certain number of students through the program at any given point in time. Moreover, we expect a significant number of currently enrolled students to seek

4 September 18 2013

the Certificate as part of their degree program, both in ECS and JSOM, giving an immediate initial boost to enrollment in the program. In support of a certainty of demand among current UT Dallas student alone, we have conducted straw man polls in existing courses to gauge the likelihood of enrolling students in the first (fundamentals) course of the CCSS in Spring semester 2014. The result of such a poll conducted in the first week of the Fall 2013 semester from one class (ACCT 6336 IT Audit and Risk Management) indicated that half of the 25 students said they would take the new cyber security fundamentals course if it were offered next semester. Based on this and the expected demand explained above, we project a likely enrollment in that class of 30-40 students in the first offering. These discussions suggest that the following progression for enrollment in the CCSS might be very realistic: Year

Organization and Administration: The program will be jointly offered and co-managed by two schools – ECS and JSOM – and will be housed in the Department of Systems Engineering, which will handle all admissions, assessment and record-keeping (monitoring of requirements), as well as issuance of the final earned Certificate. Systems Engineering is a natural home for this program, given the interdisciplinary nature of cyber security systems, but also because of the existing Systems Engineering and Management MS-SEM degree program, also joint with ECS and JSOM (and housed in Systems Engineering). Representatives from the impacted programs (Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Internal Audit, and Information Management) will be involved in oversight and decisions relevant to the administration of the program. Admission decisions would be made by a joint committee of faculty from these programs in ECS and JSOM. Faculty to teach the courses will be from ECS and JSOM (see also Appendix C), whereas faculty from other schools on campus will be invited to teach in guest lecture roles as appropriate. Industry leaders with expertise in specific fields will also be invited as appropriate.

Admission Policy: Admission into the CCSS will be automatic to students who are admitted into other degree programs within ECS and JSOM. In this way, the specialized tracks in the CCSS can serve as concentrations in other degree programs, such as in the MS-SEM. Qualifications, according to undergraduate degree and background courses, determines which track is appropriate. For non-traditional students interested only in the Certificate, and not an entire MS degree, the program will be targeted to corporate employees with an appropriate undergraduate degree. Admission requirements would be identical to those for the other graduate degree programs at UT Dallas in ECS and JSOM, except that no GRE/GMAT scores would be required. For such students, admission as “non-degree seeking” would be the path toward obtaining the Certificate. 5 September 18 2013

Curriculum: The CCSS requires 12 credit hours, and may be combined with other courses and/or certificates toward an MS degree, provided that the student has gained admission into that particular program. Please refer to diagram in Appendix B for a pictorial view of the CCSS, and Appendix C for course descriptions. To earn the Certificate, students in the program must take four courses, one of which is common to all students and offered every long semester (Cyber Security Fundamentals). Students then choose the remaining three courses within one of the three Tracks. An overall GPA of 3.0 for the four courses is required for students to receive the Certificate. Courses that make up the CCSS (three semester hours each) are as follows: Common Course (3 semester hours): All students must take the course Cyber Security Fundamentals, to be cross-listed in ECS and JSOM. This is a new course to be developed (and offered for the first time in Spring 2014), under the identifiers SYSM 63xx and MIS 63xx (course numbers to be determined). Remaining courses (9 semester hours) are arranged in Tracks: Track #1: Computer Science Emphasis Choose three courses from the following: • Information Security (CS 6324) • Network Security (CS 6349) • Data and Applications Security (CS 6348) • One course from a list of existing cyber security systems Computer Science courses (offered periodically, and must be approved) Track #2: Internal Audit, Information Management Emphasis • IT Security (MIS 6330) • Internal Audit (ACCT 6380) • Cloud Computing (MIS 6363) • IT Audit and Risk Management (ACCT 6336) Track #3: Systems Engineering and Management Emphasis In addition to the Fundamentals course and the basic course in Systems Engineering (SYSM 6301), students take at least one course from each of the CS and IA/IM tracks, according to the following: • Systems Engineering, Architecture and Design (SYSM 6301) • Information Security (CS 6324) or IT Security (MIS 6330) • One course from cyber security systems courses listed in the other two Tracks (ACCT 6336/ACCT 6380/MIS 6363 or CS 6348/CS6349)

Policy Statement The Campus Facilities Committee is a University-wide Standing Committee appointed by the President not reporting to the Academic Senate of The University of Texas at Dallas. The Committee has three interrelated concerns: utilization and condition of campus facilities, planning for new projects, and long-range campus planning. 1. Utilization of facilities. The Committee is charged to maintain a system for receiving suggestions and complaints from faculty, staff, administrators, and students regarding the condition and use of university facilities and to make suggestions to the administration regarding improving their condition and utilization. For this purpose, the term 'facilities' does not mean only buildings but includes all their fittings and equipment intended to support instruction and research, and the services associated therewith. 2. Project planning. The Committee may be designated by the Administration to serve as an Institutional Building Advisory Committee as defined in Rule 80302, Section 1 of the Regents' Rules and Regulations in order to review new construction projects and plans for remodeling and renovation of facilities proposed by the University. In this case, the Committee will have no further direct responsibilities after the contract is awarded although it may be available for consultation as requested by the administration. In addition, or, alternatively, in accordance with Rule 80302, Section 2 of the Regents' Rules and Regulations, the President may appoint an Ad Hoc Project Building Committee composed of, but not limited to, representatives of the departments, programs, or divisions that will occupy the building. In this latter case, the Chair of the Campus Facilities Committee, or his or her delegate, shall be an ex officio member of each such Ad Hoc Project Building Committee. An Ad Hoc committee works with the U. T. System Office of Facilities Planning and Construction (OFPC) to prepare a facility program in accordance with the Facilities Programming Guidelines maintained by OFPC. 3. Long-range campus planning. On the basis of its knowledge of utilization of current facilities and involvement in project planning, the Committee is charged to suggest and/or review long-range plans for the development of the campus.

The Committee shall be composed of no fewer than ten voting members appointed by the President; and shall include at least four faculty members, two deans, one student, one

representa-tive of the Student Affairs staff, and one representative of the library staff, and one representative from off-campus.

Bylaws of the Academic Senate of The University of Texas at Dallas - UTDPP1007 Policy Statement

I. Preamble The Academic Senate is a representative body, formed from the General Faculty of The University of Texas at Dallas, in which faculty develop their concerns and proposals in exercising their major roles in faculty governance. The Academic Senate is aided in its work by the Academic Council, a smaller body formed from the Academic Senate which meets regularly with the President and Executive Vice President and Provost (Provost) and by the Faculty Committees. As the regular primary faculty governance body, the Academic Senate is expected to coordinate faculty exercise of faculty governance responsibilities in the interests of academic excellence at The University of Texas at Dallas.

II. Authority These Bylaws supplement Chapter 21 "Faculty Governance" in Title III, "Academic Affairs" UTDPP1088-Faculty Governance of the Handbook of Operating Procedures of The University of Texas at Dallas. Nothing in these Bylaws shall be construed to conflict with the Handbook of Operating Procedures, the Rules and Regulations of the Board of Regents of The University of Texas System, or state law.

III. Organization 1. Election, Vacancies, and Appointment of Academic Senate 1. The election procedures, including an election calendar, shall be distributed no later than February 1. Election procedures may be online or may utilize paper petitions and ballots. The election procedures, beginning with the nomination of members of the Senate and ending with election of a Speaker of the Faculty-Elect and Secretary of the Faculty-Elect, shall begin no later than March 15 and end no later than the last day of final examinations in the Spring semester. At least two weeks will be allowed for completion of Academic Senate nominating petitions, and one week for ballots in the Academic Senate election. 2. The Secretary of the Faculty shall be in charge of the election, although he or she may designate other faculty and staff members to assist. 3. Any two voting members of the General Faculty, as defined in Title III, Chapter 21 UTDPP 1088, Section I.B.1, may nominate by petition to membership in the Senate any one voting member of the General Faculty, except that no one may sign more than two petitions

4. Nominating petitions are collected by the Office of Academic Governance. The Secretary of the Faculty will ascertain the willingness of each nominee to serve if elected. The names of those who do not wish to serve will not be placed on the ballot. 5. Ballots, including all those nominated who are willing to serve, are to be distributed to the voting members of the General Faculty by the Secretary of the Faculty by the date designated in the election calendar. Ballots cast by voting members of different Schools will be colored differently or otherwise kept separate. 6. Each eligible voter will indicate with a "1" his or her first choice for a representative, with a "2" as second choice, with a "3" as third choice, and so on for as many choices as desired up to a maximum of 5 people. Ballots are to be returned in accordance with the election procedures. Ballots shall be secret. 7. Ballots from each of the Schools in the University shall first be counted separately by the Plurality System (as defined in III.A.17 below), ignoring all choices for any candidates from other Schools, to determine the candidate from the School, if any, most favored by the voting members of the General Faculty of that School. 8. All ballots will be combined and counted by the Plurality System ignoring choices for the candidate already elected from each School, to select the remaining candidates to be elected. 9. The Secretary of the Faculty and an ad hoc election committee appointed by the Academic Senate shall implement procedures that will ensure the identity of the voter casting a specific ballot is secret and the counting of the ballots is accurate. 10. The Secretary of the Faculty shall notify successful candidates of their election and of the date of the Senate-Elect Caucus. 11. If, by the date designated for the closing of nominations, the number of valid nominations does not exceed the minimum membership of the Academic Senate, as computed per Sec. II.B.1 of Chapter 21UTDPP1088- Faculty Governance of the Handbook of Operating Procedures, all candidates shall be declared to be elected. 12. If a member of the Academic Senate resigns his or her seat or leaves The University of Texas at Dallas for a period expected to exceed four months, that seat shall be filled by the most favored unelected candidate in the last election. 13. Once the original nomination list is exhausted, the Academic Senate shall fill vacancies by majority vote of all members of the Academic Senate. 14. In the event a sitting member of the Academic Senate is appointed to the position of Dean, the member shall offer to resign from the Senate. If the resignation is accepted, the Academic Senate shall fill the vacancy in accordance with Sections 12 and 13 above. 15. If a member of the Academic Senate misses two consecutive Senate meetings, the Senator will be contacted by the Secretary of the Faculty to ascertain whether he or she still wishes to serve. If not, the Senator will be immediately replaced by the procedures of Sections 12 and 13 above. If a member of the Academic Senate misses three meetings during September-May, at the third meeting the Academic Senate may, by a majority vote of those present, declare the seat vacant. The seat will then be filled by the procedures of Section 12 and 13 above.

16. All members elected or appointed to the Academic Senate under Section III.A.1.18. of these Bylaws, and only those members, shall be voting members of the Academic Senate. 17. Except as specified in III.A.18, for the purpose of elections held under these Bylaws, a Plurality System as described below will be used: The results are tallied for each candidate by indicating the number of first-place votes received by the candidate, the number of second-place votes received by the candidate, etc. The candidates are then ranked by first-place votes with the most preferred candidate having the most first-place votes, etc. In the case of two or more candidates receiving the same number of first-place votes, the second-place votes of these candidates will determine their rank order. If necessary, third-, fourth-, etc. place votes will be used to determine the rank order of candidates having the same number of first-place votes. In the unlikely event that the rank order of two or more candidates with the same number of first-place votes cannot be determined by the use of second-, and subsequent-place votes, the rank order will be determined by the use of a randomization device which gives each of the tied candidates the same chances of having any rank as any other of the tied candidates (i.e., a random permutation). If M is the number of offices to be filled, the first M-ranked candidates shall be declared elected. Vacancies that may occur during the course of the year will be filled as provided in Sections 12 and 13 above. 18. An additional number of voting members of the Senate shall be elected from among the Senior Lecturers. This number shall not exceed 10% of the total number of Senate seats for which Voting Faculty are eligible. The term of office is one year. If a Senior Lecturer resigns his or her seat on the Academic Senate or a Senior Lecturer seat becomes vacant for other reasons, a replacement shall be appointed from a ranked list of those Senior Lecturers who were nominated and who received votes. In the case that there is an insufficient number of candidates who received votes, the Speaker shall convene a Senior Lecturer caucus to elect the necessary number of representatives to serve on the Academic Senate. Ballots for Senior Lecturers will be distributed to all Senior Lecturers without differentiation by school, and will be tallied without differentiation by school. For purposes of election to the Senate the term “Senior Lecturer” here means all those with the title of Senior Lecturer or Clinical Professor who are employed full-time and are subject to UTDPP1062 GENERAL STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES FOR REVIEW OF NONTENURE-SYSTEM FACULTY. It does not include Research Professor, Visiting Assistant Professor, Visiting Associate Professor, Visiting Professor or other positions in which there is understood to be a fixed and limited term of employment without the possibility of renewal.A minimum of 50% of Senate positions will be held by tenure-system faculty, implemented as follows.

Action committees are those whose charge requires them to act on behalf of the Senate and in a manner consistent with Senate policy, returning to the Senate, if necessary if that policy may be unclear. Only concurrent committees, or other bodies specifically mentioned in this document, can be action committees. 2. Advisory committees are those whose charges are strictly investigatory and/or advisory in nature, requiring return of recommendations to the Senate for action. B. Concurrent Committees 1. Formation and Dissolution 1. The formation of Concurrent Committees and their membership, procedures, and Chair must be approved by the President and the Academic Senate. 2. The Academic Senate shall, consistent with state and federal laws, Regents' Rules and Regulations, and The University of Texas System policy, establish the charge for each Concurrent Committee including description of the membership. Charges, which require approval by 2/3 of the total voting membership of the Academic Senate and by the President, shall be published as Serial Policy Memoranda issued by the President. 3. At least the following shall be Standing Concurrent Action Committees at The University of Texas at Dallas: 1. the Committee on Qualifications of Academic Personnel; 2. the Committee on Educational Policy; 3. the Library Committee; 4. the Committee on Student Life; 5. the Committee on Faculty Standing and Conduct; and 6. the Core Curriculum Committee. 4. Any deletion from the list in Section IV.B.1.c. requires a 2/3 vote of the total voting membership of the Academic Senate and concurrence of the President. 2. Appointments: The President will not appoint anyone to a faculty position on a Senate committee whom the Senate has not nominated. If the President declines to appoint a Senate nominee, the Senate will select a new nominee in the same manner as used for the initial appointment unless specified otherwise in the charge of the concerned committee. For Concurrent University Committees, Senate approval is considered advisory to the President. The President may appoint faculty not recommended by the Senate. If appointments to Concurrent University Committees are declined, the Senate will not seek a replacement unless asked to do so by the Committee's RUO (the Provost). 3. Replacing Committee Members: If a member of a Concurrent Committee misses two consecutive committee meetings, the member will be contacted by the Chair of the committee to ascertain whether he or she still wishes to serve. If the chair determines a replacement is needed he/she will notify the Chair of the Committee on Committees. 4. Committee on Committees

1. As soon as possible after June 1, the Speaker of the Faculty shall convene the Academic Council to appoint the Committee on Committees. 2. The Committee on Committees should develop expeditiously the nomination lists for each of the Concurrent Committees, including nominations for Chair and Vice Chair, and should transmit them to the Academic Senate prior to September 1. 5. Other Committees 1. Concurrent committees, Academic Senate Committees, and the Academic Council may establish subcommittees, which may not be action committees. 2. The Council for Undergraduate Education shall act on behalf of the Senate in establishing procedures for review and evaluation of degree plans of candidates for undergraduate degrees at The University of Texas at Dallas, and in implementing Academic Senate policy in regard to standards of conduct and performance for such degrees.

Section V. School and Disciplinary Legislative Bodies A. Schools 1. Faculties of the Schools and Departments of the University shall organize themselves for purposes of establishing academic and curricular policy for that School or Department, consistent with the policies of the Academic Senate and the General Faculty. 2. Faculties of the Schools and Departments shall determine their own voting membership but may not exclude any voting member of the General Faculty administratively assigned to that School or Department and teaching courses for which it is responsible. 3. The Bylaws of each School or Department shall be subject to procedural review and approval by the Academic Senate and the President. B. Other Groups: Other groups within the University, such as disciplines, which desire recognition as a faculty governance body must do so in accordance with procedures established through joint agreement of the President and the Academic Senate.

Section VI. Academic Governance Support A. Publication of Bylaws Each legislative body may establish bylaws which, after review as to compliance with the Handbook of Operating Procedures and approval as required by the Regents' Rules and Regulations, shall be published as part of the Handbook of Operating Procedures. B. Academic Governance Office

1. The academic administration shall provide an Academic Governance Office and staff support in the form of an Academic Governance Secretary, and assistants as necessary. 2. The Academic Governance Secretary shall: 1. maintain a file of items to be submitted to the Agenda Committee of the Academic Council; 2. inform the Speaker of the Faculty and the President simultaneously of requested agenda items to be considered for Academic Council meetings; 3. maintain a calendar for Academic Governance; 4. publish in advance the times and places of Academic Senate meetings in campus publications of general circulation, and will establish a permanent room semester by semester with 40 extra chairs for visitors to the meetings; 5. distribute Academic Council and Academic Senate minutes to the Academic Council and Academic Senate, official depositories, and to those faculty members who indicate to the Academic Governance that they wish to receive copies; 6. prepare the letters of appointment for University and Concurrent Committees; 7. seek names of candidates from designated officers for student places on University and Concurrent Committees which require student appointees; 8. distribute a University and Concurrent Committee membership list two times a year, September 1 and January 1 to all Deans, Associate Deans, Department Heads, and members of the Academic Senate; 9. provide the incoming Chair of each University and Concurrent Committee with that committee's approved charge and advise him or her of the material to be filed for the committee in the Academic Governance Office; 10. maintain the files of University and Concurrent Committees; 11. maintain a file of operating procedures of University and Concurrent Committees; and 12. maintain a history of the role and scope and of the membership for the preceding five years of each University and Concurrent Committee. 3. The duties of the Academic Governance Secretary may be amended by agreement of the President and the Academic Senate.
