Budget Model Points of Interest • Guardrails limit School/College budget change: - FY21 at +/- 1% - FY22 and beyond at +/-2% • PCM will be re-evaluated and modified every 3 years • Draft budget presented in March & Final Budget in April - Contingencies in place to help prevent sudden budget impact • Academic Service units will begin in the PCM in FY22 • Model includes several features to protect against perverse incentives

University-wide Strategic Planning 17
Strategic Plan Sneak Peek • Plan is led by Chancellor – he will launch the plan later in the semester so a new provost will have the opportunity to participate and contribute • Planning set to ensure multiple ways to get broad community involvement at all stages while limiting burden on community • Pivot from budget-focused to vision and innovation-focused • Plan will become part of the fabric of Campus and with ongoing evaluation and annual updates from the Chancellor – including how it works seamlessly with our budget model
Strategic Plan Work to Date Strategic Vision Focus Groups - Chancellor held a visioning session with 50 faculty and staff nominated by heads of all academic and service units - Deans/Vice Provosts met with Chancellor for a brainstorming session - Provost will hold a visioning session with University Senate Exec this week - Others focus groups coming throughout fall semester Development of the Planning Process - Input from focus groups is informing our planning approach - Several planning formats/models being vetted/revised with campus leadership - Communications and preparatory materials being developed for campus
Strategic Plan Timeline • November 2019 - Campus kickoff Visioning Day Events • November/December 2019 - Initial drafts of key vision plan components • January/February/March 2020 - Iterative revision of key implementation plan components • April/May 2020 - Completion of Plan and Presentation by Chancellor to Campus

Office of Graduate Studies Reorganization • Integration of leadership into Provost’s Office - 50% VP for Graduate Studies (50% active role in home Department) - Part of newly expanded Academic Affairs Team • Focus on core services with liaison support to the Professional Schools (1.0 FTE) and to the College (.25 FTE) • Admissions/Recruitment team remains intact and co-located with core service team, but reports to Enrollment Management • Redistribution of resources back to student research/travel and tuition support, as well as unit-level recruitment/programming
Academic Analytics (AA) • VP Brown led a working group last Spring focused on: - Larger issues of data used to assess productivity - Utility of AA as a tool to assess productivity • Take-home Messages - No single tool should be mandated or used in isolation - Faculty Insight could be valuable to individual faculty for charting professional development and for increasing comprehensiveness of what is included in AA • Current Status - Proposal to renew contract for 4 years; extending feedback period by 1 week - Supermajority of AAU Public Schools utilize AA - Cost is $283,000
Leadership Positions • Positions filled in the last 12 months - Vice Chancellor for Research - Chief Information Officer - Dean of Engineering - Dean of Pharmacy - Faculty Ombuds (Governance-led Search) - Multiple leadership positions at Edwards and KUMC • Positions to be filled in the next 3-6 months - Provost - Vice Provost for DEI - Vice Provost for Graduate Studies - Vice Provost for Undergraduate Studies • Positions to be filled in the next 9-18 months - Dean of College of Liberal Arts & Sciences - Dean of School of Architecture & Design (Arc/D)
