Approx. $1.5 Million shortfall but will be covered by University expects they will not need to use reserves. Bond rating A+ remains unchanged. Still strong. For perspective, Wright State University projects deficit of $40Million. Their reserves continue to decline. Akron $40Million deficit and will also need to use reserves. Looking toward 2018 for 91Ʒ, we face challenges. Governors proposed budget contains minimal increases of 1% per year. Continues freeze on tuition. State subsidy could be in jeopardy. Given enrollments of 2017, University projects a shortfall for 2018 and strategies are being proposed to bridge the shortfall. Tentatively plans budget reductions, carryover fund use, and board authority to use reserves if necessary. Will hear in April. Questions As we have retirements and may not be able to be filled, but see VP of engagement in the budget. Why are positions that were there for 35 years not being filled? Also, according to PD, we are last in our support for graduate students. How can we increase graduate student enrollments without a budget to recruit or to support GA positions. They are teaching classes and bring us money. Budget hasnt been approved. Provost clarify posting was incorrect. No position for VP for Information Technology. VP of engagement is part of our mission. Schools with more support for GA, such as Akron, their programs have more Full Time students funded for assistantships. Our programs have more professional degrees where the students are willing to pay for the programs. And Akron will likely have to cut as part of their budget problems. At 91Ʒ, Gas have been re allocated to Science, for example. But if we are doing engaged research, and there is no interaction, what does the VP do? Why wont we replace staff members? Provost of course need academic departmental support but also need positions to run the intuition. Analogy is that in the military for every one person in the front line there is 6 FTEs to support. But have reassessed the personnel needed in administration, as efficiently as possible. Academics is more than half of budget. In the Plain Dealer, Ohio spends $200 per student per person. Other states closer to $500. Fraught with peril to compare support of faculty versus administration. Provost - $188 is the actual number. Will discuss in open forum. Budget and finance committee would like to put forward a proposal. The EADC should provide an annual report of the finances to the Senate and the budget and finance committee. Stephanie was not able to be here. She sent a 1 page summary that was on the table when we arrived. Reason for the motion when it was first proposed to have EADC for building, but now see that there are over $1Million in reserves, which was not something considered when approved. Reserves are for surplus / profit comes back to the university as a ground lease payment, which then is used by 91Ʒ for operations. About $6Million has been transferred in 2015/16. Other $0.5Million will fund the capital reserves to maintain the properties. It will stay with EADC. 91Ʒ is not entitled to take all the surplus. Have provided ground lease payments. All in favor (of annual reports) E-Learning Committee Linda Wolf Revised Online Security Procedures For quality and security. Admissions and standards put forward and voted on / approved. Needs to be reviewed and updated yearly. Committee made a few grammatical changes / working changes. Nothing substantive. Question 1.3 - ends with questions? Sounds like not a policy. This is an old version. Will send the updated. All voted in favor. Lift Up Vikes Jillian Keller Presentation Details for the AHA Festival Katie Shames Ahacsu.org privately funded, most events free, great publicity XI. Report of the President of the University Ronald Berkman Sends his regrets. Award to Mark Souther, Ohio Faculty Council, Technology Commercialization Award. XII. Report of the Provost and Chief Academic Officer Jianping Zhu State realizes we are at the bottom third of country. State subsidies of 1% is in jeopardy and continue to freeze tuition. Try to figure out innovative ways to cover textbooks. Not well received even by the general assembly as well as universities. Now trying to come up with an alternative proposal. Hope not as dramatic. Wrong focus to cut funding and reduce support to students. Nationwide, for need based support, national average is $573 per student, $955 in Indiana per student, and PA is providing $841, while Ohio is $188 per student. With tightening of funding for universities, not sure how they think they are increasing .for citizens. This is the reality we must live in. Our budget deficit is caused by the state. To the best we can, we want to continue support to the academic part of our institution. State mandate on duplicate programs. In total 56 programs duplicated with Kent, Akron, and Youngstown. Committee reviewed and there was miscommunications that caused some concerns. No final decision has been made. They need to go through a review process. The priority is to see if we can enhance programs. Explore ways to increase enrollments and number of graduates in programs. Reach out to new populations and simplify curriculum to be more attractive. How can we utilize the resources already invested in these programs? If the major cannot practically grow, but it supports other programs, then they need to see how can do a better job of focusing resources to support other majors. Consider rather than suspend, how can programs work together to take advantage of economies of scale. Need to look at if there is a need for 4 universities to have similar programs. If transportation is an issue, how work together with different platforms to collaborate with other universities. Seriously need to consider options. We proactively conducted program prioritization 3 year ago, but that shouldnt be the only one time effort, it should be part of a natural process. No decisions have been made about any of the programs. Need to look at options to enhance. Time wise, need to move through the process to make recommendations as quickly as possible. Special committee will have a point person, along with the associate dean and department chair and faculty from the relevant departments should provide working group to review. Need to remove this as a distraction to the faculty and students due to uncertainty. Dean successfully completed with college of business Dr. Sanjay Putrevu is the new dean of the Monte Ahuja College of Business and Monte Ahuja Endowed Chair. Law School Dean is in final discussions and for Graduate College 2 more soon to visit. Questions? After initial prioritization, what was the final decision on programs and the metrics used? What do we need to do to not end up in that bucket? The process was data informed, but not data driven. Take sources into consideration, but not a formula of # students, faculty, etc. Credit hour cost, etc. It is a debate not a formula. Primarily based on student and market demand. Two things may not be the same. If have students but market doesnt have enough job, need to consider other things. Centrality to mission, supports other programs, etc. Master list was publicized on Provosts website invest, maintain, suspend, further review. Most have been completed, 1-2 in review. Can re-send link. Maybe can provide a summary document, but dont want it to be a literal rubric. It is a holistic process. Now facing another review pushed on us by the state. Physics was not on the first prioritization. It was tier 2 maintain. Within our own university it was maintain. But now with the state, the comparison becomes to other universities. It is not that it is unwanted. It only means we need to take another look and defend if needs defending. STEM needs it as a prerequisite. But ask to consider how to contribute to other majors for a quality education from the faculty we have in the department. There is not a single criteria. Need to gather more information. Question all majors should consider ways to increase enrollment. Use the research gathered a few years ago. Under the current economic conditions, and to have a workable budget, enrollment is a top priority. Each one will still have a priority to grow, but what is the possibility of it growing? From a practical point of view, need to look at the potential. Need to do it in a cost effective way. Is there a return on investment with the faculty available? Is it 2 or 50 students? But French program has only 2 faculty and are maintaining, whereas Kent has 5 faculty and same number of students. We are cost effective. Need to be mindful of how we use the datais it a trend? What do we do? XIII. Report of the Student Government Association Malek Khawam On his way back from Columbus, so cannot report out today. XIV. Open Question Time XV.
