Severe Budget Constraints UNC-Chapel Hill budget is highly constrained. Real consequences for Gillings in sharply reduced start-up for faculty recruitment: 75% reduction Increasing number of retention cases are creating additional pressure. We have been presented with large, unplanned cuts and expectations that we cover expenses, such as upfitting University Square. We’ve just been told to plan on cuts for FY18.
Changes to Permanent State Budget FY09 to FY17 Cumulative permanent budget cuts since FY2009 = Most new -$6.2M or -29% of 2009 starting budget 2,000,000 permanent 1,500,000 funds are 1,000,000 purpose- 500,000 restricted; - don’t (500,000) offset lost (1,000,000) general (1,500,000) New permanent budget funds. Other permanent cuts (2,000,000) Required state budget cuts (2,500,000) * through April 2017
Grant/Contract $ to SPH Faculty PIs by Year Dollars in millions Average $184 $/ Gillings’ PIs in $163 FY16 = $1.2 million Highest average at UNC-Chapel Hill FY15 FY16
Financial Uncertainty ■ Indirect cost cuts? ■ Limits to number of PI grants? ■ How will Gillings’ fare in new budget model?
T he path to the future isn’t a straight line. It isn’t even a known line.
Keep Gillings Strong Change. (e.g., How we’re organized , curricula) Adapt. (e.g., Organization, business strategies, assumptions re funding) Innovate. (e.g., Organization, teaching) Become more nimble & efficient. Simplify. Communicate. (e.g. Even more about our impact) Build new partnerships. Deliver. (Be who we say we are.) Recruit, support & retain strongest students, staff & faculty. Become more diverse & inclusive.
Keep Gillings Strong What should we do differently? More efficiently? What should we stop doing? What should we do more of? What areas are so important that they’re worth taking risks?
New MPH Core: We can change Integrated across disciplines Assure that strong faculty are teaching core Interdisciplinary, case-based Fewer credits than previously approach Timed properly to serve as Fully compliant with new building blocks accreditation standards Acceleration camp to prepare More flexible and nimble than students in advance of courses individual courses owned and taught by departments

Imperative for change “The commentary relates to the effectiveness of the administrative processes in ensuring that all departments meet academic standards in this large and decentralized school. Administrative processes for ensuring quality and compliance across all the educational programs exist, but are not fully effective or consistent.” CEPH draft report 2017
I believe in Gillings. We can do hard things…together.
Harmonize & pedal together.
Thank you!
