~ $8M/year: additional required for personnel and operating expense ~$5M/year: Enrollment growth + Fee increase ~$3M/year: Gap Potential sources of funds to bridge gap: › Increased $/WSCH › General fund ~$67M: New/renovated facilities › Philanthropy › State
21
Benchmarking through comparison › Oregon, Colorado, Utah, Arizona State › performance in each Carnegie correlate Need to increase : › $80 million in research expenditures per year › 100 doctoral degrees awarded per year › 100 post-doctoral scholars, research faculty
22
Retention/ Progression / Completion › more full-time UG students (15 to Finish) › R/P/C: improve 6-year grad rate, meet CCA › student completion drives formula funding › smaller sections taught by f/t instructors (block scheduling) drives student success To meet these goals, F/T faculty instructional capacity must increase
23
Challenge: Limited faculty size (780) › Increased course loads, larger classes › More doctoral committees per faculty member Challenge: Low point of research ($30 m) › Decline in grant proposals, grant funding › Almost no patent, tech transfer activity Challenge: Insufficient space (Master Plan)
24
Vision/ Mission is clear: RU/ VH Significant analysis to be done › Goals/ Objectives/ Metrics › Tactics & Strategies › Organization & Structure › People › Support Structures › Results/ Assessment of Performance
25
Expand “bandwidth” for instruction, research Target: > 1200 faculty, > 800 grad assistants › 900 tenure-eligible active-research faculty › 50 non-tenured research / clinical faculty › 250 lecturers (focused on UG education) Faculty count not goal - means to ends › Research productivity/ economic development › Degree productivity/ workforce development
26
625 current tenure-eligible lines › many recruited from Tier 1 universities › heavy instructional load for RU/ VH assigned 4 - 6 credit hours per semester limited research leave opportunities › capable of higher productivity, need support › need increase of $50,000 research activity per line per year to attain RU/VH designation
27
proposed : 260 new (tenure-eligible) lines › ~ 50 senior hires, ~ 200 junior hires › recruited in key ED research areas › integrated with anticipated Medical faculty › to attain RU/VH designation, each must average $200,000 research activity annually supervise average 3 researchers annually research faculty (25 - 50 per year total) doctoral students / post-doctoral fellows
28
200 current non-tenure-track lines › instruction-intensive (9-12 credit hours / term) › flexibility to meet enrollment needs created 40 new lecturers since 2012 › conversion of part-time instructional budget › focused on high-demand / bottleneck areas proposed 34 new positions › support retention, completion › funded by student fees
29
current: 550 state-funded grad assistants proposed: 260 new grad assistantships › enhance stipends to be more competitive › focused on doctoral students › focused on research, innovation areas

current Master Plan (15 years) › state capital funds: $182 million › campus matching funds : $131 million › build 500, 000 GSF › repurpose 200,000 GSF UNLV School of Medicine
32
One-time expenses (over 10 years) › $61 million for start-up costs for new faculty › $40 million for other research infrastructure libraries, laboratories, instrumentation technical support staff current, anticipated institutional funds indirect cost recovery other savings
33
Universities: › Higher productivity of advanced degrees › better supported, more research productive faculty › greater grant/ contract activity › enhanced community support Regents/ NSHE: › enhanced state operational support › enhanced capital funds › public support for research & innovation mission
