I am doing good....thanks for asking! Although good is subjective....it is April 24th, TU promotes the May 1st National Admission Deadline like there is no other option, and all of our little late applicants (I'm sure none of your students apply late) are quite panicky waiting for an award. So, this is quite a precious time...:-) Having said that, I would rather be here listening to the wonderful attributes of our students than where I was this time last year. Sooooooo, truly all is wonderful!!!!! I loved seeing all the updates that have come through. Congrats to Kelli and Sherry....I am happy for both of you on your awards! Pam, I am so sorry for the loss of your step-mother, she indeed sounded like she made a wonderful impact on your life. What a goal to strive to achieve, I hope that when I am gone someone will say that I impacted their life. For those of you who know my daughter Jordan, she just passed her drivers license test. Yes, I have a teenager now that is driving. So, the next time you see me, if my hair is completely gray, and I have many more wrinkles.......you now have an explanation! Oh......the issues that come with children as they grow up! The "manual" never warned me about all these things..... I absolutely have no gossip to bring to the table, but I love reading it from all of you. We truly missed seeing everyone at OASFAA. I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday........and a restful and delightful weekend! Congratulations to Marcia, Sheila, and Yvonne....I am so happy for you all, but we will miss you all tremendously! Thank you for your dedication to our profession!

The results of the election are: President-Elect: Nancy Moats Secretary: Audra Main Treasurer-Elect: Tammy Higgins Delegate-at-Large: Carol Stanfield Kelli Kelnar won the OASFAA Partner Award and Sherry Hudson won the OASFAA Distinguished Service Award. Attached are pictures of the winners and the lucky retirees. Since a lot of you that I talked to had to listen to me talk about going home and getting my daughter ready for her senior prom I thought I would attach a picture of the final results. Pam she is headed your way in the fall, so you guys at OU take care of her. I will give you her dorm room number and I expect weekly reports. lol Some how she managed to find a degree we don't offer here, I don't know why she would not want to go to school where her mom and dad both work and everyone on the campus know us and her, go figure. Pam, picture of you dogs would be nice to see. We were all saddened to hear about your stepmothers passing, it sounds like you were very lucky to get such a good one.

He was having a procedure done this morning to check his heart. Because all his internal organs went into shock when he coded, he is being checked by heart, kidney and lung specialists. His kidneys are not functioning at this time, but the doctor says that Jimmy is a strong, healthy young man and he is optimistic for a full recovery. They are still keeping Jimmy sedated and he is in the Critical Care Unit of the United Regional Hospital, the 11th Street Campus, in Wichita Falls, Texas. I have communicated with the hospital about the patient email problem. A very nice gentleman, Dwayne Palmer has just gotten back with me about the problem. He told me that the patient email page has had ongoing problems, but he would be happy to forward emails to the hospital volunteers for us. You can address the email to dpalmer at urhcs.org and put "email for a patient" in the subject line and he will forward the email messages to the volunteers that distribute the patient email. To ensure that the emails get to Jimmy, use James Carter for the patient name and be sure to note that he is in the Critical Care Unit of the 11th Street Campus. Please continue to remember Jimmy, Marcia, and Jim in your prayers. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am doing good....thanks for asking! Although good is subjective....it is April 24th, TU promotes the May 1st National Admission Deadline like there is no other option, and all of our little late applicants (I'm sure none of your students apply late) are quite panicky waiting for an award. So, this is quite a precious time...:-) Having said that, I would rather be here listening to the wonderful attributes of our students than where I was this time last year. Sooooooo, truly all is wonderful!!!!! I loved seeing all the updates that have come through. Congrats to Kelli and Sherry....I am happy for both of you on your awards! Pam, I am so sorry for the loss of your step-mother, she indeed sounded like she made a wonderful impact on your life. What a goal to strive to achieve, I hope that when I am gone someone will say that I impacted their life. For those of you who know my daughter Jordan, she just passed her drivers license test. Yes, I have a teenager now that is driving. So, the next time you see me, if my hair is completely gray, and I have many more wrinkles.......you now have an explanation! Oh......the issues that come with children as they grow up! The "manual" never warned me about all these things..... I absolutely have no gossip to bring to the table, but I love reading it from all of you. We truly missed seeing everyone at OASFAA. I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday........and a restful and delightful weekend! Congratulations to Marcia, Sheila, and Yvonne....I am so happy for you all, but we will miss you all tremendously!

Johnson Date: Friday, May 16, 2008 Subject: Update of January 2 Guidance Memo on undocumented persons - eligibility for enrollment, resident tuition and financial aid under HB1804 and SB820 In my January 2, 2008 Memo to you regarding this subject (copy attached), I stated that, if necessary, the guidance memo which was attached to my Memo will be updated. In response to questions asked by institutions after the guidance memo was sent out, an updated guidance memo has been prepared by the OSRHE staff. That updated guidance memo is attached. It is requested that the attached updated guidance memo be sent to those persons at your institution who will be directly involved in implementing HB1804, SB820 and the new State Regents policy. They should read the memo as soon as possible, and then keep it handy to be referred to and used as a checklist when analyzing the eligibility of a particular student. It is suggested that the original January 2, 2008 version of the guidance memo be discarded and replaced by the updated version in all relevant files at your institution. HB1804 and SB820 raise complicated issues. The OSRHE staff and I realize that you and your staff may still have questions after the updated guidance memo is reviewed. Please contact the appropriate OSRHE staff person listed on page 7 of the memo regarding any questions. If necessary, the memo will be updated again in the future to address those questions. Thank you for your assistance with this important manner. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Following is an update on their content and status. ============================================= SB 1038 - (text - http://webserver1.lsb.state.ok.us/2007-08bills/SB/SB1038_CCS2.RTF ) This is a very important bill that has several provisions that were previously in other bills. It also has some amendatory language related to the Oklahoma Tuition Equalization Grant (OTEG; which is for students attending Oklahoma private colleges). The bill includes the following provisions: * Creates a Task Force on Oklahoma's Promise-OHLAP to evaluate concerns and questions about the program's income eligibility requirements, such as: -adjusting for family size -adjusting for number of children in college at the same time -adjusting for inflation -possibly providing a "phased-out" benefit for families with incomes slightly over the limits -addressing families whose income drops dramatically after the student's 10th-grade year -addressing the "all or nothing" aspect of the new second income limit (As the law currently reads, the second income check would be conducted only as the student enters college. A student whose family income may be over the limit their freshmen year in college can never regain eligibility, even if their income later drops dramatically due to death or disability of a parent. Conversely, a student whose income is under the limit the freshmen year remains eligible for five years in college, even if the family income rises dramatically.) -The Task Force will also examine the scholarship retention requirements for students in college and produce recommendations for consideration by the Legislature in the 2009 session. * Delays for one year the implementation of the new second income limit that was passed in the 2007 legislative session. With the change, the second income limit would become effective for 2010 high school graduates rather than 2009 graduates. The rationale includes the following reasons: -This second income check was not part of the "agreement" signed by the 9,000 Oklahoma's Promise students (and their parents) in the 2009 high school graduating class when they enrolled in the program in the 8th, 9th, or 10th grade. (We still have the same concern for some of the 2010 and 2011 grads.) -The one-year delay also allows the Task Force time to carefully review this provision for future participants in the program. * Modifies the college sophomore GPA requirement to a cumulative calculation and delays the implementation of the college GPA requirements for one year until 2010-11 to allow the Task Force to review the issue. However, it leaves the current language for the 2.5 GPA calculated only on courses taken as a junior or above. There was discussion of making the 2.5 GPA for juniors and above a cumulative GPA, but we recommended against this. Our rationale is that a college student with a cumulative 2.0 GPA at the end of their sophomore year would be required to make a 3.5 GPA for their 30 hours of courses as a junior to achieve an overall cumulative GPA of 2.5 by the end of their junior year. We believe this would be too restrictive. We anticipate the Task Force will review this issue closely. * For Oklahoma's Promise students serving in the military, the bill provides an exception to the requirement that students start college within three years of graduating from high school. * Oklahoma Tuition Equalization Grant (OTEG; These provisions were not requested by the State Regents.) The first change expands the criteria for eligible participating institutions to include institutions accredited by entities recognized by US Dept. of Education (currently, participation is limited only to institutions accredited by the North Central Association on Colleges and Schools). A second change will allow more adult (non-traditional) students to be eligible to participate in the program. Status: SB 1038 passed the Senate floor yesterday (Wednesday) by a 46-0 vote and is expected to be considered on the House floor today or tomorrow. ============================================= HB 2446 (text - http://webserver1.lsb.state.ok.us/2007-08bills/HB/HB2446_CCS.RTF) would allow adopted children to participate in Oklahoma's Promise under special income criteria. For adopted students, there would be no income requirement at the time the student initially applies for the program in the 8th, 9th, or 10th grade. However, the adopted students would be subject to the second income check that is currently in the law for future recipients. The second income limits for adopted children would be higher than the $100,000 currently in statute for all participants-- $150,000 if the student was adopted between birth and 12 years of age, and $200,000 if the student was adopted between the ages of 13 and 17. Status: HB 2446 passed the House 93-5 yesterday and passed the Senate this morning 45-1. The bill will now go to the Governor for his consideration. ============================================= Let me know if you have questions. Bryce Fair Bryce Fair Assoc.

It also has some amendatory language related to the Oklahoma Tuition Equalization Grant (OTEG; which is for students attending Oklahoma private colleges). The bill includes the following provisions: > > * Creates a Task Force on Oklahoma> '> s Promise-OHLAP to evaluate concerns and questions about the program> '> s income eligibility requirements, such as: > -adjusting for family size > -adjusting for number of children in college at the same time > -adjusting for inflation > -possibly providing a > "> phased-out> "> benefit for families with incomes slightly over the limits > -addressing families whose income drops dramatically after the student> '> s 10th-grade year > -addressing the > "> all or nothing> "> aspect of the new second income limit (As the law currently reads, the second income check would be conducted only as the student enters college. A student whose family income may be over the limit their freshmen year in college can never regain eligibility, even if their income later drops dramatically due to death or disability of a parent. Conversely, a student whose income is under the limit the freshmen year remains eligible for five years in college, even if the family income rises dramatically.) > -The Task Force will also examine the scholarship retention requirements for students in college and produce recommendations for consideration by the Legislature in the 2009 session. > > * Delays for one year the implementation of the new second income limit that was passed in the 2007 legislative session. With the change, the second income limit would become effective for 2010 high school graduates rather than 2009 graduates.
