DRAFT
Program Review Process:
Dates: December 7 and 8, 2017

Committee (14): Deans, Associate Deans, Victoria Reid, Natalie Herring,
Catherine Andersen, Darlene Smith

Presentation by School: The leadership of each school (dean and/or associate dean) will
present an analysis of each of the degree programs (certi?cates are peripheral discussion
would be included to show how cert enhances/distracts from particular program offerings) in
their school. For each program, a decision should be made to invest, make minor
enhancements to maintain enrollments/market share, undertake signi?cant realignment, or
divest. It is expected that each school would have programs falling into each of these four
categories. At the end of the presentation, the school's leadership will share the results of the
following exercise:

As CEO of your school, assume you have been given up to $1 million to invest in your academic
program portfolio.

I Distribute these funds over your programs based on highest potential for growth and
?nancial stability. For example, you may elect to allocate 100% of the funds to only one
program or perhaps allocate the funds proportionately across multiple programs.

0 The allocation should reflect where you believe your school will receive the greatest
return on investment based on your analysis and presentation of achievable program
outcomes (cost savings and/or enrollment and revenue growth).

0 Remember that some programs should receive zero investment dollars because they
have been targeted for divestment.

- The total allocation must sum to $1 million.

Deliverables: Each dean will provide the committee members with (1) a brief summary of the
analysis of the programs and (2) the distribution of the investment funds.

Committee Response: The committee will assume the role of an Investment Committee. As
such, members are free to ask clarifying questions and provide any additional information 
observations. After the presentation by the academic leadership of the school, the committee
will:
a Form deliberation teams based on school/unit af?liation Dean/Assoc. Dean from
each college, EMM, Provost Office) and,
Electronically and confidentially submit their recommendations on how to best allocate
the $1 million to achieve University goals. Teams are not obligated to invest the full $1
million but must allocate a minimum of $500,000.

Timeline: This process will be repeated for each academic division. We will proceed through
the colleges as follows: CA5, CPA, MSB, Law. Each school will have up to 2 hours to present
their analysis and recommendations. The Investment Teams' deliberations should not exceed

30 minutes. All schools should be prepared to present on the first day, just in case we are able
to progress more quickly than anticipated.
