  6. CSA Budget Realignments, FY 2011-2013

  7. CSA Budget, 2011-2012 2012-13 Budget $16,643,694 (S&W) $ 598,304 (SS&E) $17,245,198 (Total) 2011-12 Budget $15,902,152 (S&W) $ 700,703 (SS&E) $16, 602,855 (Total) NOTE: Does not consider one-time start-up funds.

  8. Points of Emphasis for 2012-13 • Tight year for finances; few new budget commitments (AGAIN!) • Basic expectation: Show what can be accomplished with your existing resources as the basis for future funding. • New expectation: Use existing resources as efficiently as possible. (Duplication of courses, computing, blended learning, etc.) • Strategic Plan review: College level in 2012-13 • Attention to expanding graduate education & research • Four chair searches. All highly important for their units. • Also 12-15 faculty replacement searches.

  9. Points of Emphasis for 2012-13(cont.) • Diversity • Recruitment: faculty & students; Spousal Opportunities; • Training program thru ADVANCE grant required for all members of Search committees and PT&R committees. • Graduate Education and Research: • Mutual Responsibilities and Professional Obligations • Assessment Activities: Align with University learning outcomes • Continued effort to revise General Education; • Development assessment data connecting academic programs and university learning goals.

  10. University Learning Goals & Assessment • Disciplinary Knowledge • Knowledge of human cultures and the physical and natural world • Global Literacy • Critical & Creative Thinking  • Communication   • Information Literacy • Technology   •  Values and Civic Engagement

  11. Each of the last three points show our lives are changing. • Assessment and learning outcomes, Diversity Training, Safety Training, IT Security requirements (annual certification), Mentoring requirements, Conflict of Interest reporting, program reviews, reports and plans, etc., etc. • State funding of higher education also down. These issues reflect fundamental changes in the place of higher education within the larger society. It is not just doing more with less – we also face more scrutiny and public skepticism. Taken together, these and other shifts demand more citizenship and institutional service responsibilities of faculty and staff in academic departments. These are not optional. The real world is here and not going away.

  12. Ending on a Good Note! • Visual & Performing Arts: Marked 45th year of jazz programs under Mike Irish and founder Don Keranen; • Social Sciences: Kathy HalvorsenPI on NSF PIRE AWARD for International Study of Social & Environmental Impacts of Biofuels • Physics: Mike Meyer is New Director of CT&L; Will Cantrell wins University Teaching Award; Robert Nemiroffcorecipient of 2012 Research Award; • Math: Business Analytics degree; also recognized in Mathematical Association of America study of calculus education; • Kinesiology & Integrative Physiology: Melanie Hoffman earns All-district athletic honors and conducted SURF project at Marquette University;
