  2. Affirming our Mission UH West O‘ahu is committed to providing access to higher education for students in the rapidly growing leeward region of O‘ahu and on the neighbor islands. With an emphasis on interdisciplinary liberal arts and professional studies, UHWO offers quality teaching and innovative integration of teaching/ learning technologies.

  3. Strategic Priorities • Student Success  • Partnering • Global and Multicultural Opportunity • Resource Investment • Community-based

  9. UHWO issues • Given resources (both human and physical), UHWO is approaching capacity. • Student-faculty ratios highest among campuses at upper division: UHWO: 13.5, UHH: 10.6, UHM: 10.3 • Average class size highest among campuses at upper division: UHWO: 22, UHM: 19, UHH: 17. • No economy of scale; enrollments a function of infrastructure (MAPS Report 2002)

  10. Current Revenue Mix : General funds $ 2.88 million 54% Tuition & fees $1.30 million 24% SS/other fees $ .16 million 3% Contracts/grants $ .98 million 19% Total $ 5.32 million

  11. The growing demand • Population of leeward and central O‘ahu is growing. • Demand for programs at a distance is growing (20% of UHWO’s students are enrolled in distance programs). • Need for workforce development in the region is evident. • Access that UHWO provides to under-served populations is critical to the state’s workforce needs.

  12. UHWO must grow: Its academic programs: to expand the education & training options to meet the changing needs of the community it serves. Its faculty and staff: by partnering with other UH programs and by hiring selectively.

  13. What we need to do next: • Determine resource needs given current program offerings to ensure quality and access • Determine new initiatives that • best meet regional workforce needs • capitalize on UHWO’s strengths • leverage those strengths by partnering with sister campuses.

  14. Response to WASC • Improve academic infrastructure • System allocation (VPAA & Institutional Researcher) • Increase faculty • System allocation (Two Faculty FTE) • Increase student service staff support • System allocation (Registrar) • Title III funding
