  2. Introduction President Vailas announced on Nov. 4 at a public forum that he would direct the Provost to form at least 3 task forces to examine reorganization of academic colleges.

  3. Introduction Three clusters of units: • Pharmacy and Health Professions • Engineering and the disciplines in sciences • Education and Arts and Sciences absent the disciplines in the sciences

  4. Introduction Three objectives: • Increase efficiency and streamline operations • Enable ISU to emerge academically stronger, not weaker • Realize a financial savings

  5. President’s 11 Questions • Does reorganization have the potential to facilitate research and instructional collaborations? • Potential to enhance faculty’s role in shared governance?   • Potential to reduce demands on faculty time for service responsibilities?

  6. President’s 11 Questions • Potential to help distribute workload across disciplines? • Potential to enable streamlining of programming? • Potential to address understaffing in smaller depts? • Potential to enhance patient care in the health professions?

  37. The Process Dedicated email address so that faculty and staff could provide input provost@isu.edu

  38. Discussion The smaller the aggregate across which workload must be managed, the more difficult it is for units to adjust workload in order to lighten loads for research-productive faculty

  39. Comparison of Colleges by Size ISU’s colleges are too small to operate efficiently .

  40. College of Arts and Sciences Fewer tenured and tenure-track faculty (with exception of North Dakota State U) CAS colleges in several of our peer institutions are substantially larger .

  41. College of Arts and Sciences Idaho State Univ 190 Montana State Univ 290 North Dakota St Univ 185 Northern Arizona Univ 334 Kent State Univ 388

  42. College of Arts and Sciences Univ of Montana 236 Univ of Nevada-Reno 343 Univ of Wyoming 267 Wichita State Univ 251

  43. College of Education No. tenured and tenure-track faculty in the College of Education at peer institutions is significantly greater, with the exception of U of Montana

  44. College of Education Idaho State Univ 34 Montana State Univ 55.7 North Dakota St Univ 53 Northern Arizona Univ 118 Kent State Univ 130

  45. College of Education Univ of Montana 35 Univ of Nevada-Reno 48 Univ of Wyoming 58 Wichita State Univ 42

  46. College of Engineering All of ISU’s peers are more than double the size of ISU’s college. In institutions with similar enrollment, No. of tenured and tenure-track faculty are 2 to 4 times the size of ISU’s engineering faculty
