  5. Growth and Program Development • In order to manage growth well in relation to personnel, space and technology needs, we need strategic plans for programs that have the potential to grow significantly • Strategic plans will include 5-year projections for enrollment increases by program, and these projections will inform resource allocation • We have provided instructions for these plans to programs with growth potential and will expect progress in developing the plans in Fall 2012

  6. Growth and Faculty Development • Trinity’s full-time faculty size will growth with the addition of new programs and the expansion of existing programs • Faculty development and assessment, both full-time and part-time, must be greater priorities in 2011-2012 • Rubrics for faculty assessment will be ready for review by August • We will have a semester-long slate of faculty development programs ready by August

  7. Regulatory Concerns • Congress and USDE imposing increasing burdens on higher education to “prove” outcomes • Student outcomes assessment framework is essential; we will collect and analyze the data next year to establish the baseline for the 2015-2016 accreditation self-study • Employment outcomes are essential • Improved graduation rates relate to improved retention rates, and these depend heavily on the success of our gateway programs • Academic Advising is fraught with legal and regulatory traps; we will have a detailed and continuing program for faculty development with regard to advising and regulatory issues with advising ready to roll in the Fall semester

  8. Plagiarism and Writing Concerns • Quality and integrity of our degrees is Trinity’s only real “product” • Consistent and pervasive problems with writing, leading to charges of plagiarism at times but not always, require close and careful attention • Particular problems with graduate students and expectations for quality of thesis work • Success of “Writing in the Disciplines” must continue • More formal and extensive program to teach students and faculty about plagiarism will be ready for roll-out in the fall

  9. Mission and Catholic Identity • Current moment of stress and conflict, but opportunities for growth in understanding and commitment • 3 major Catholic institutions in DC (CUA, Georgetown, Trinity) – Trinity can and should bring more to the discussion • Trinity must first strengthen its own capacity to teach and engage both faculty and students in the exploration of Catholic mission and identity • Two SND leaders joining the faculty: Sr. Camilla Burns, Sr. Mary Johnson, will strengthen our ability to engage this discussion more robustly
