  1. Environmental Scan Part IV:Government Decision Making Presentation to the Provostial White Paper Working Group – September 10, 2009 Glenn Craney Executive Director Office of Institutional Research and Analysis

  2. OVEVIEW • Provide a general overview of the environment related to government relations. • Managing dependencies • Inadequate resources • Focus on relationships • In depth case study – Reaching Higher II

  3. Designed to be Dependent • Government grants and contracts • 54% of total revenue • 57% of operating funds • 70% of capital funds • across Canadian publicly supported universities (2002-2003)

  4. Profound Inadequacies • Inadequate funding levels • Lack of stability • Increasing interventionism • No change anytime soon.

  5. Managing the Dependency • Adapt to interventionism • Government funding  Government objectives • Alternative revenue streams • Non-governmental sources • Success depends on rewired relationships • Wag the dog

  6. Rewired Relationships • Meaningful ties • Placing, supporting, converting • Inside and outside government • Winning proposals • Focus outward on solutions to funders’ problems • Strategic proposals as moves in long game • Ultimate goals are constant • Core values and aspirations (Who do we want to be?) • Strategy is dynamic • Proposals at intersection of York’s goals and funders’ agenda • Conditions and agendas change • Projects build upon each other over time

  7. Current Situation – Reaching Higher II • In 2005, the Ontario Government announced “Reaching Higher” a five-year funding plan for Ontario post-secondary Institutions. • COU is looking begin discussions with MTCU on the next five year funding plan set to begin in 2010-11. • York should work now position itself as MTCU develops the new plan.

  8. Elements of Reaching Higher • Reaching Higher I had four key elements • Quality – Access • Growth – Health Human Resources • Quality ~ $250 M allocated over 3 areas • Unfunded BIUs – General Quality • Special Projects

  9. Elements of Reaching Higher • Growth ~ $300 M • Focus on graduate expansion • Unexpected undergraduate expansion has been problematic. • Health Human Resources ~ $100 M • Undergraduate & postgraduate MD expansion • Small amount for clinical education

  10. Elements of Reaching Higher • Access ~ $30 M across several areas • Northern Grants • Bilingual Grants • First Generation • Students with Disabilities

  11. Possibilities for Reaching Higher II • Growth • GTA Growth will be a key focus • Enrolment Contracts • Mirrors York’s Strategic Growth to rebalance • Partnerships with other postsecondary partners. • Quality • Need to define what we mean by quality • Likely to continue the focus on pilot projects

  12. Possibilities for Reaching Higher II • Health Human Resources • Faculty of Health & proposed York Medical School • Focus on delivery in York Region • Access • Pathways between Colleges and Universities • Build on York’s leadership in bilingual and accessibly (first generation) education

  13. Possibilities for Reaching Higher II • Other Possible Elements • Capital Planning • Explicit Link to Research • Others
