12. University System of Ohio Reports and Responses Board of Trustees Academic Affairs and Student Life Committee February 6, 2009 Joseph A. Alutto Executive Vice President and Provost

13. USO Reports Institutional Accountability Report Issues and Concerns • The report may not provide enough information to allow external audiences to interpret the data on graduations rates correctly. • The information about the percent of facilities in satisfactory condition or needing only minor rehabilitation may be outdated, and the process for updating the information has not been provided. • The USO’s calculation of endowment size per full-time students (or FTEs) may be misleading. • Per capita national rankings may not be meaningful measures as the statewide metric in setting targets for federally and industrially financed research spending. 13

14. USO Reports Facilities and Technology Infrastructure Report Conclusions for Special Consideration • Ohio State’s facilities do not optimally support STEM education. In the future, we anticipate a need for better facilities, not additional ones. • Our capital planning efforts would be enhanced by standard and verifiable facilities assessments and deferred maintenance metrics and by the elimination of the requirement to use multiple primes in facilities construction. • The cost of classroom space has increased because of the need for new technologies. • Ohio State is likely to need the state’s largest investment in facilities and technology because of our comprehensiveness and land-grant mission. 14
