60/120Initial reactions • The sky is falling…. • They can’t mean my program… • It will get repealed….
HTC’s Program Inventory • 42 AAS or AS degrees over 60 credits • 28 seeking waivers • 1 award is still considering waiver • 12 awards will reduce • 4 of those are at 72 credits • 2 of those are at 66 credits • 1 of those is at 65 credits • 2 of those are at 64 credits • 1 of those is at 63 credits • 1 of those is at 62 credits • 1 of those is at 61 credits
Next Steps • Waivers will be submitted to the OOC on or before June 30, 2009 • Faculty will meet in discipline groups for discussion • OOC Representatives will review and analyze submissions and work with colleges and universities on next steps • July 1, 2012 timeline
Presidents’ Statement • Presidents of two-year colleges • Desired level of consistency across our system • Uphold a system wide procedural framework that fully embraces: • Integrity of degree content and critical curriculum analyses • Primacy of campus curriculum development activity • Industry and professional skills standards and industry advisory committee guidance in the determination of local and/or regional program content and length
So, what does that mean? • Many questions… • With waiver, how is credit length decided; lowest?, average?, consensus? Other? • With waiver, at what level of CIP will uniformity be expected: 6 digit?, 8 digit?
Example: Web ProgrammerCIP 11080100; 11080101 • AAS Degree • Hennepin TC 72 credits • St. Cloud Technical College 63 credits • Alexandria Technical College 72 credits • Mn State College – SE Tech 72 credits • Diploma • Hennepin TC 64 credits • St. Cloud TC 51 credits • Certificates • South Central College 23 credits • St. Paul College 16 credits • Minneapolis CTC 25 credits • Alexandria TC 16 credits
Financial Planning • Assumptions • Loss of credits would impact adjunct more than full-time faculty • Some “lost” curriculum may be redesigned into certificates • Some programs that are granted waivers will still need to reduce credits
Financial Impact • FYE loss: 12 awards reducing • 36.5 FYE technical credits • 12.7 FYE general ed credits • Tuition loss: $199,408 • Technology fee loss: $8,856 • Parking fee loss: $2,361
Financial Impact • Programs seeking waivers • One at 96 credits • One at 94 credits • Twenty-four at 72 credits • One at 67 credits • One at 64 credits • Estimating reduction of 151 program credits • Estimating reduction of approx 75 FYE • Tuition and fee loss estimate: $321,075 • Would be reduction in faculty time
Financial Planning • Staffing Impact • Instructional Costs • Admin/Student Services Allocation • Tuition and Fee Revenue
Staffing Impact • Dependent on technical courses reduced • Dependent on ability to offer advanced certificates • Dependent on ability to reassign
Instructional Costs • Impact dependent on not only HTC’s actions but actions of other colleges • Analyze enrollment and cost associated with eliminated courses • Analyze load of faculty • Analyze needed skills
Administration and Student Services • Effect of 60/120 will not be equal across all institutions • Anticipate a loss in share of allocation
Tuition Revenue • Will decrease due to loss of credits • Focus on increasing enrollment • May increase need for tuition differential
