  1. Systemic Change NOW: Performance Funding and Student Success September 14, 2011 President John D. Haeger

  2.

  5. National Economy 9.1%

  6. STATE BUDGET • FY 2012 TOTAL OPERATING BUDGET: $ 8,355.4 B • JLBC: The 3 Main Drivers of General Fund Spending Are Education, Health, and Prisons

  7. UNIVERSITY BUDGET

  8. Enrollment Growth Yuma Fall 2010 Enrollment: 25,204 Fall 2011 Enrollment: Likely flat Online Community Campuses Flagstaff

  9. FY11 Budget FY12 Budget Scenario Estimated total = $430 million Estimated all funding sources total = $455 million Sage shaded pieces are the basic university expenditure supports Yellow shaded pieces provide some university support Red shaded pieces are not generally available for direct support

  10. NAU Total Tuition, Fees, and State Appropriation/ FTE

  11. FY 2012 Budget Plan Reduction of $198M NAU Share is $30.1M

  12. FY11-12 Significant Investments • Academic Building Repairs • Transportation Spine/NAIPTA support • Student Success/Retention • Oracle/PeopleSoft, ePlanning, etc. software • Technical Adjustments, Workforce Planning, and Minimum Wage • 100% Graduate Assistant Waivers • Class Coverage and Undergraduate Support • Research and Compliance

  13. Performance Funding

  14. ABOR – Significant Changes • New Regents • Performance Metrics • Performance Funding • Disparity Study • Financial Aid • Options: • Performance based • Loan forgiveness • Financial literacy • Voucher program

  15. Performance Funding (ABOR) Components of Performance Funding • Increases in SCH completed • Increase in number of degrees produced • Increases in research funding • Success in meeting the state’s economic developmentgoals • Maintaining or enhancing quality Base + Adjustment to the Base + Performance Funding = University Funding The model will allocate monies approximately as follows: • 50%in support of the growth of degrees awarded • 25%in support of the growth of completed student credit hours • 25%in support of the growth of external funding for research and public service

  16. Performance Funding: university Mission-Specific Weighting • The Carnegie Classification to differentiate between ASU and UA (Very High Research) and NAU (High Research). • ASU and the UA will use weighting of 33.3% each for degrees, student credit hours (SCHs) and research. • NAU will use a weighting of 42.5%, 42.5% and 15%, respectively, for degrees, SCHs and research. • This distinction will ensure that NAU is not penalized for having a relatively small share of current and anticipated research spending.

  17. Performance Funding: What if Proposed Funding Was Used in the FY 2013 Budget Request? Using a 3-year moving average growth for performance metrics: • Change in Major Metrics—AverageAnnualChange for Three Years Ending in 2010-11: • Degrees Awarded: ASU—791, U of A—220, NAU—274 • SCH’s: ASU—70,737, U of A—30,029, NAU—33,319 • Research Spending (millions): • ASU--$20.45, U of A--$28.43, NAU--$1.95 • At 100% State Funded, this = $24M for NAU

  18. FY 2013 Budget Request

  19. Systemic Change Inevitable

  20. Meeting the Goals + More students + Fewer Faculty per FTE + Performance Funding + Restriction on Tuition ___________________ How does NAU succeed in this environment? Accountability Performance Funding Technology

  21. U. of Texas Adopts Plan to Publish Performance Data on Professors and Campuses (8/25/2011) Ohio Board of Regents moves forward with Enterprise University Plan (8/25/2011) Traditional Universities Considering New Approaches (8/24/2011) How to Fix Our Math Education (8/24/2011) State Officials Say Difficult Changes Are Needed to Help More Students Graduate (8/10/2011) Postdocs Can Be Trained to Be More Effective Than Senior Instructors, Study Finds (5/11/2011) Governing Boards Turn to Technology to Reinvent the University (4/5/2011) Restructuring Is Key to Turning Freshmen Into Graduates (11/12/2010) Hard Times Require Better Planning and More Online Offerings, Speakers Tell Public-University Leaders (11/15/2010)

  22. Disruptive Change in Higher Education – a National View • Public demands accountability: poor performance vs. high tuition • National Governor’s Association: complete to compete • President Obama’s agenda • Lumina Foundation, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation • Western Governor’s University • Texas, Florida, Ohio… 1950s delivery system will not work in 2011 environment

  23. Systemic Change in the Academic Division • Retention and graduation rates: • Made progress over the years • BUT still MUST improve Cohort Year

  24. High-Enrollment Classes With DFW% >= 25%, FY11 (FTFT Cohort)

  25. High-Enrollment Classes With DFW%<=15%, FY11 (FTFT Cohort)

  26. Average Student Credit Hours Taken And Completed For Credit, Fall, 2010 (FTFT Cohort) • On average, students in the FTFT Freshman cohort take 15 credit hours and complete just under 14. • Over 30% of all students complete fewer credit hours than they undertake • Students who take fewer than 15 credit hours, complete a lower proportion of their initial credit hours than do those who take 15 or more credit hours

  27. Student Success is Everyone’s Agenda • Responsibility to help students succeed • Implications: • Cost to students, taxpayers, and university • Funding tied to successful credit hour completion • Graduation delayed—funding impact • 70% of the FTFT cohort with 12 to 18 credit hours do not succeed in completing their load

  28. Why Students Do not Progress • University policies encouraging contrary behavior • Unstructured curriculum • Students are unprepared – the Millennial Generation • Faculty culture • Delivery system

  29. N=708; FTE Students per Faculty = 24:1 Faculty’s Changing Role • New normal: faculty composition • Growth of non-tenure track positions from ‘99 to ’09: 46% • Percentage of tenured faculty at public research institution in ‘09: 23% (NAU still at 49%) • Student success as institutional value reflected in hiring, promoting, rewarding • Tenured/tenure-track faculty focus on higher order analytical and interpretative presentation, work closely with students • Lecturers with strong teaching background, staff, and coaches complement work of tenured/tenure-track faculty • Commitment to augment the new student generation learning style/ Millennial generation

  30. Technology to Change the System • Higher ed. is where IT was 10 years ago • NAU always an early adopter of technology • More effective course delivery: focused, 5-week formats, more interactive, one-on-one with faculty augments web, rich content • Tools to use faculty time effectively and efficiently • Open courseware—Berkeley, MIT, Carnegie-Melon • NBC Learn • McGraw Hill • Pearson Soultions… • iPod/ smart phone apps

  31. Systematic and comprehensive reform of freshman learning • Coaches • Instructional innovation • University policies • Financial aid-related policies and their impact/ administrative drop • Freshman mandatory attendance +University College • Dedicated group of faculty • Reward and compensations structure • Standardized, multi-section courses • More structure to the freshman year

  32. Student Success in Mathematics • Math Emporium (technology + redesigned courses + faculty): Students • spend the bulk of their course time working on specific competency skill deficiencies, • spend more time on things they don't understand and less time on things they have already mastered, • get assistance when they encounter problems, • and are required to participate in scheduled learning activities and assessments. • Standardized courses • Self-paced modules—five-week segments • Selected faculty on multi-year contracts

  33. Next Steps • Robert Zemsky on September 27 • Discussions with colleges and faculty • Develop implementation plans • Broad scale of curricular improvements
