  1. VIABILITY MODELDISCUSSION Pieter du Plessis

  2. INDEX • BACKGROUND • FACULTY, DEPARTMENT AND MODULE VIABILITY • STAFF ACTIVITY PROFILE • CHALLENGES AND IMPORTANT VARIABLES • WHAT THE VIABILITY MODEL IS AND IS NOT • IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

  3. BACKGROUND

  4. BACKGROUND – The most important variables determining our future FINANCES • the number and quality of our undergraduate students • the growth in the number and quality of postgraduate students • the progression and pass rates of students • the number of staff with doctorates • the number of stars * in the academic team • the growth in external income as % of total income • the growth in quality and volume of total research outputs

  5. background – Viability OF FACULTIES AND DEPARTMENTS • Determine the financial viability of academic entities • Transparent & fair allocation of institutional costs to academic entities • Benchmark academic entities • Financial viability can not be looked at in isolation – have to look at academic viability also • One integrated set of financial, student, staff, HEMIS & research data – integrated management information

  6. background – Viability OF FACULTIES AND DEPARTMENTS • Identify a set of core performance indicators (dashboard) • Academic Viability • Module Success Rate • Student Staff FTE Ratio • M & D Graduates per Permanent Staff Member • Research Publication Units per Permanent Staff Member • Financial Viability • Contribution as % of Income (Tuition and Subsidy)

  7. background – Viability OF FACULTIES AND DEPARTMENTS • User-friendly, secure, flexible, sustainable, web enabled model – One button to click for standard request by a dean/department head • What-if scenarios with regard to the setup of Academic Structures as well as Business Plan Generator for new programmes • Phase 1 – Faculty and Department • Phase 2 – Programme and Module • Phase 3 – Academic Staff

  17. STAFF ACTIVITY PROFILE

  18. DEVELOP STAFF activity profile DASHBOARD List of staff members per department showing the following: • How many courses/modules does each one present • Module success rate • How many hours do they spend on what type of activity (1800 notional hours multiplied by timesheet data) • Research Outputs and Masters and Doctoral students • Third stream income connected to the staff member

  19. DATA CHALLENGES • Connect Masters and PhD students to the study leader systemically • Integrity of timesheet data • Linking third stream income to staff numbers

  20. WHAT THE VIABILITY MODEL IS AND IS NOT

  21. What the viability model is • Compares the financial contribution between departments within a faculty • Instrument for academic planning • Benchmarking tool – between faculties, departments, modules and staff What the viability model is not • It is not a budget distribution model

  22. Implementation PLAN

  23. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN • Buy in of the deans as well as the heads of support service departments are needed • Bi-annual email must be created to every dean • Visits to each Faculty Management Committee to demonstrate and discuss the model as well as the viability of the departments and modules of the Faculty • Monitoring the core performance indicators on all levels (Faculties, Departments, Modules and Staff) should become an integral part of managing the UFS. • Staff activity profile should become part of the performance management of academic staff
