Academic Portfolio Review Faculty Senate Budget Committee April 2, 2019
Purpose / Goals Review all undergraduate and graduate programs in order to: – Examine the flow of student demand/yield, instructional activity compression, student outcomes, and contribution margin; – Understand at a more granular level what the University is spending, and the return on investment from that spending; – Develop a new framework to set targets and determine appropriate lever(s) to utilize Mix of faculty Course and section offerings Section size Productivity
Become more efficient and effective which in turn increases student success, overall morale, and creates opportunities to grow

Additional Data Compiling and analyzing revenue and expenditure data Combining the cost data with the productivity data Providing recommendations to increase efficiencies
Next Steps Deans – Academic Unit Identify programs that support growth and meet mission Identify programs to be reconfigured or new investments to better capture demand (program mergers) Strategize on methods to increase yield Examine retention rates by program and identify the road blocks / obstacles for students Major maps Curriculum & Personnel Planning (as discussed in Dept. Chairs and Directors meeting) Use Civatas courses
Next Steps Continued Department Chairs – Specific Programs Review all course offerings – which courses should no longer be offered Consolidation of sections / frequency of offerings Demand for courses / cycle courses Refer to January Dept. Chairs and Directors meeting Use Civatas Courses
