  2. Personnel Process Changes • Dean’s concurrence • Ad hoc optional • Error correction • Monitoring At this point, we are on schedule to finish by end of spring quarter

  3. Proposed Personnel Process Changes • Greater use of career review • Consensus on salary inversion • More off-scale adjustments • 2004-05: 50% Vice Provost for merit review

  4. Task Forces and Retreats • Five Task Forces have been formed • Graduate recruiting and funding • Undergraduate recruiting • Freshman experience and retention • Marketing and communications • Subject A implementation • Second retreat on March 5 • Enrollment Management Advisory Committee to monitor action plan progress

  5. Budget Management • Governor’s budget is our working guide • TA and RA funding increases taken off the top • Maintain commitment to funding enrollment management plan • Selective outreach functions will be supported • Programmatic cuts are likely • Elimination of funding for about 100 faculty FTE • Cost savings through efficiencies will be stressed • Consultation process being developed

  6. Budget Efficiencies • Remedial education: probably about a $3M annual expense for English 1 and precursors • 45 FTE tied up in lecturers • Conversion factor (total student units /15) • Falling steadily and currently about 0.91 • Other UCs near 1.0 • This costs us $7M/yr • Two pathways to improvement: different advising and more units/course

  7. OTHER UCs UCR CONVERSION FACTOR ACADEMIC YEAR

  8. Course Units UC Regulations of the Academic Senate: The value of a course in units shall be reckoned at the rate of one unit for three hours' work per week per term on the part of a student, or the equivalent. • Chairs are directed to examine their courses to determine if any are candidates for increasing units, either by meeting this criteria or by adding sections • Any unit changes must also be accompanied by an examination of the need for modification in the requirements for the major

  9. Possible Consultation Process • Early and continuous involvement of Academic Senate CPB and Advisory Committee • Feedback downward to deans and other unit heads about magnitude and nature of the probable cuts • Feedback upward to unit heads about priorities for hiring, staffing, initiatives, etc. • Unit heads develop response scenarios • Some sort of budget summit to present and discuss proposals • Final budgets worked out in G-3: (Chancellor, EVC, Budget Director)
