Conversation on University Structure January 2017

Framing Questions What structural changes does moving to a “university” structure invite us to consider— and why? In theory, we could change our name without making any structural changes. Would remaining with the status quo best serve our interests—why or why not? Are there specific problems with the current structure that this is the moment to address? Who do we want to hear from, and what do we wish to understand better, as we contemplate these questions? We know already that “college” and “university” carry different meanings to different audiences. What meanings do those terms have for those of us who are members of APT (Academic Planning Team)? Do we start this work with shared understandings?

Toward a common language (draft) College an academic unit in a university structure with a primary focus on undergraduate education in the liberal arts tradition School a more specialized unit of a university structure, such as those providing u.g. and g. professional education Division an academic unit characterized by similarities in disciplinary approach or methodology Department an academic unit responsible for curriculum specific to a discipline; for appointing faculty qualified to teach in the discipline; for organizing teaching and learning in ways appropriate to the degree being offered Program Interdisciplinary cluster of faculty and curricular offerings Center at Augsburg, a term reserved for constellation of activities that make core commitments visible, curricular and co-curricular, internal and external, help define the public face of the institution Office administrative structure designed to support the work of faculty and to align with other institutional offices (admissions, marketing, etc)

GUIDING PRINCIPLES ON UNIVERSITY STRUCTURE Be intentionally designed to support quality teaching and learning; effective and efficient decision- making; curricular innovation, assessment, and review; and faculty development and review. Support effective management and strategic leadership of departments and programs (not expanding administrative structures unnecessarily, but providing the leadership and support for academic quality and compliance with requirements of external agencies and accreditors). Provide a simple, logical, “outward facing” entry point for students, highlighting institutional strengths and making visible the diverse array of programs (traditional undergraduate, flexible undergraduate, and graduate). Recognize academic departments as core and integrative units, where faculty are appointed and resources allocated; where multiple degrees may be offered; and where budgets reside. Offer a common general education experience for undergraduate students across Colleges and Schools; minimize barriers to student movement across program boundaries; ensure curricula that support double majors and strong foundations in the liberal arts.

Align with the vision for the Hagfors Center in cultivating and supporting both disciplinary identities and interdisciplinary collaborations; in integrating the liberal arts and professional study (or career readiness); and in ensuring space within university structure supports those commitments. Support strategic growth and innovation. Support efficient decision-making on curricular matters and other priorities. Support efficiency and effectiveness in faculty governance and oversight of the academic program. Ensure that academic units share common understandings of faculty workload, tenure, promotion, and program review.
