Today’s Agenda
1. Provide context and background.
2. Review UA projections for the 24 state
measurements set by the University System of
Ohio (USO)
3. Discuss rationale behind the projections.
2
Context and Background
The state’s Strategic Plan for Higher Education:
• sets ambitious goals for the
University System of Ohio, and
• quantifies these goals with 24
measurements to be
accomplished by 2018.
Chancellor has asked Ohio’s public
universities to determine how each
will contribute to the 24
measurements.

About Our Projections
1. The recommendations and projections that follow are based on
historic trends, current realities and initiatives under way at UA.
2. Future changes to the University System of Ohio are likely to alter
our projections.
3. State policy decisions about tuition will change the landscape for
Ohio and UA.
4. Some of the measurements are contradictory and interactive;
success in one could hinder progress in others.
5. Our projections represent stretch goals, but they are not
unreasonable.

Rationale for Projection
ACCESS: Total postsecondary enrollment
From 2006 to today, UA has experienced annual increases in enrollment of 5%
Enrollment Management’s three-year enrollment projection model includes:
•
Growth in new freshmen and new transfer students based on internal and
external trends
•
Increases in graduate student enrollment
•
Further improvement in student retention
•
Spring and summer enrollment changes
•
Graduation patterns
UA’s projection:
We believe we can achieve or possibly even exceed the USO goal.

Rationale for Projection
ACCESS: Associate degrees awarded
FACTS:
Enrollment for two-year programs:
• Summit College up 8% from 2003 to 2008;
• Wayne College steady at about 750 per year
First year retention rates for students in two-year programs has steadily increased
from 50% for the 2000 cohort to 61% for the 2007 cohort of students enrolled in 2year programs.
It is unknown what the impact will be of a possible state-wide tuition cap on
associate degree programs. We could anticipate increased enrollment from
Summit County residents that might otherwise attend Tri-C or Stark State.
RATIONALE:
We expect to increase the number of associate degrees awarded during the USO
projection time period and contribute to the state’s desired increase; however, it is
unlikely we can meet the USO goal of a 32.5% increase.

15
Rationale for Projection
ACCESS: Bachelor degrees awarded
FACTS:
• Total enrollment of bachelor’s degree-seeking students has increased 8% from
2002 to 2008 (16,959 to 18,295) while the increase in new bachelor’s degreeseeking students has increased 33% over the same time period (2,882 to 3,826).
• First-year retention rates for bachelor’s degree-seeking students are also
increasing (65.5% in 2003 to 68.8% for the 2007 cohort).
RATIONALE:
• We anticipate a continued decline in the number of bachelor’s degrees awarded to
traditional-age students over the next several years, compared to previous years
as a result of the steady decline in undergraduate enrollment during the late ‘90’s
and early 2000’s.
• In summary, we expect to increase the number of bachelor’s degrees awarded
during the USO projection time period and contribute to the state’s desired
increase.

17
Rationale for Projection
ACCESS: Graduate and law degrees awarded
FACTS:
• The number of graduate degrees awarded from 2006-07 to 07-08 increased
12.5%.
• Graduate enrollment increased 5% from 2006 to 2007 and 9% from 2007 to
2008. We anticipate that graduate enrollment will increase, particularly in
STEMM areas in the coming years, although perhaps not at the same rate as
the past two years.
RATIONALE:
• The ratio of graduate enrollment to the number of degrees awarded has
remained fairly constant, which is why we are not projecting a significant
increase in the actual numbers of graduate degrees awarded during the
projection time period.
• We expect to increase the number of graduate degrees awarded above the
baseline during the USO projection time period.
18

Rationale for Projection
ACCESS: Total STEMM degrees awarded
(STEMM = Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine)
FACTS:
UA enrollment in STEMM programs, 2004-08:
•
Overall increase of 21% (6,305 to 7,620)
•
Undergraduate increase of nearly 25% (5,319 to 6,628)
Both retention rates and graduation rates are higher for students in STEMM
programs:
• First-year retention rates for bachelor’s degree-seeking students is about
68%, compared to 74% for STEMM bachelor’s degree-seeking students.
• The six-year graduation rate for bachelor’s degree-seeking students is
approximately 35% compared to 40% for STEMM students.
RATIONALE:
Based on student demographics and trends, we cannot meet the USO goal;
however, we believe we can increase the number of total STEMM degrees by
32% over the projected time period.

FACTS:
• From 2004 to 2008, UA experienced an 8.4% decline in the number of enrollees
age 25 or older.
• In fall 2008, we experienced a 12.6% increase in new undergraduate adult students
– first increase in seven years.
RATIONALE:
• Beginning fall 2009, we expect to have a plan in place to optimize the schedule of
classes that will allow for more evening- and weekend-enrollment opportunities.
• We will expand off-site programs, enhance services to veterans and open a new
degree-completion program to serve adult students.
• These changes, plus expanded adult-recruitment efforts and national trends will
allow UA to further increase the number of adult students that it serves, yet it is
unlikely that we will be able to increase adult enrollment by 63 percent to meet the
USO goal.

Rationale for Projections
ACCESS: Percent of total degrees awarded to Black and Hispanic students
FACTS:
• At UA, the percentage of degrees awarded to Black and Hispanic students has
declined over last five years.
• Percentage of minority students at UA has declined from 14.2% in 2001 down to
12.6% in 2008.
• In response, UA is developing an Inclusive Excellence road map that includes
initiatives to increase the enrollment, retention and graduation of minority
students.
RATIONALE:
• Students expected to graduate within the next six years are, for the most part,
already enrolled at UA.
• Based on the current student demographics and past trends, we are likely to fall
short of the USO goal; however, we believe that we can maintain our present
rate of 9% and increase that rate in outer years.

FACTS AND RATIONALE:
• Historically, UA graduation rate is about 35 percent, on par with urban-serving
universities nationwide.
• With the USO measurement, we receive credit for students who start at UA but
finish at another Ohio public, thus the 37% rate for 2008
• Because we are showing improved retention rates within several student
classifications, we believe our graduation rate will increase in outer years.

FACTS:
• The number of first-time enrollees in the top 20% SAT/ACT has grown 92% from
2002 to 2008
• This number will continue to increase based on the following factors:
• Growth in the number of new first-time students
• Strength of Honors College
• Recruitment efforts
• Focus on STEMM program growth
• Reallocation of current scholarship resources
• Additional scholarship resources would accelerate our increase -- a rate that is
reflected by the UA historical-line projection
RATIONALE:
• We expect to increase the number of students in the 20% ACT and exceed the
USO projection by 2013-14, thus contributing to the state’s desired increase.

Projections
QUALITY: Percent of facilities in satisfactory
condition or needing only minor rehabilitation
1. Satisfactory: Suitable for continued use with normal maintenance.
2. Minor Rehabilitation: Needs minor physical rehabilitation or repair.
The approximate cost of physical rehabilitation is less than 25 percent
of the replacement value of the structure.
3. Rehabilitation: Rehabilitation would cost 25 percent to 50 percent of
the replacement value.
4. Major Rehabilitation: Cost of rehabilitation is 50 percent or more of
the replacement value.
5. Physically Obsolete: Physically inadequate and not feasible to
renovate. The structure should be evaluated for demolition.
Evaluation includes building systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, etc.) as
well as safety issues and federal regulations (ADA, OSHA, etc.).

Rationale for Projections
QUALITY: Total size of endowment and foundations per FTE (annual)
FACTS AND RATIONALE:
In the past year, endowment dollars per FTE decreased due to:
• investment performance and
• student credit hour increases that outpaced record fund-raising, and
• modest endowment growth.
We predict a second year of reduction in endowment value per FTE because of:
• the effect of the economic downturn on the market value of
endowments, and
• the continued success in recruitment and retention.
Our projections reflect an intent to continue growing both external funding and FTE
enrollment aggressively, while acknowledging that market returns have been weak
in recent history and are increasingly unpredictable.
With all three factors (a leveling off of enrollment growth, continued record growth
in fund raising and a return to strong investment yields in 2009), we believe we can
meet or exceed statewide percentage increase set by USO for 2014.

FACTS
• UA was the first state university to partner with Lorain County Community College in
the late 1990s to establish LCCC’s University Partnership Program where UA delivers
bachelor’s degrees to LCCC campus. Three UA colleges deliver bachelor’s degrees
onto LCCC campus.
• In 2002, UA began delivering bachelor’s degrees to other community college
campuses throughout the state. UA also delivers courses into regional high schools.
• UA has arranged for community colleges and four-year degree-granting colleges to
deliver academic programs at UA’s Wayne campus and at the Medina County
University Center.
• Innovation Alliance and Midpoint campus support this goal.
RATIONALE:
• We will contribute to the state’s goal of increasing the number of bachelor’s degree
recipients with at least one year of credit from a community college.

• Based on UA’s strategic directions, and assuming that (most) new
faculty hires are in STEMM areas.
• Available start-up packages and lab facilities will impact this measure.

Rationale for Projections
ECONOMIC LEADERSHIP:
Students engaged in internships and co-ops
FACTS:
• The number of students participating in co-ops and internships at UA has increased
30% from 2003-04 to 2007-08.
• About 80 percent of engineering students participate in a co-op experience as part
of their undergraduate curriculum, and the number of undergraduate engineering
students has also increased 30% during the last five years.
• Based on a 2008 survey, all of UA’s colleges have internship, co-op or similar
clinical experiences, with 84% of UA students participating. Many of UA’s colleges
utilize co-ops as a capstone course.
• UA awarded largest Choose Ohio First grant in first round of competition--helps to
fund coops/internships
RATIONALE:
• UA is very close to meeting its share of the USO goal today. We believe we can
meet the 2013 goal.

AFFORDABILITY: Average out-of-pocket cost
The purpose of this measure is to compel universities to
design strategies to minimize the impact of tuition on lowincome, high-financial-need students.
51
Rationale for Projections
AFFORDABILITY : Average out-of-pocket cost
IUC Unified Tuition and SSI Strategy
In the event that the University receives NO additional state financial
assistance the voluntary cap on tuition increase be 6%.
In the event that the University receives a 2% increase in state financial
assistance the voluntary cap on tuition increase be 5%.
IUC Affordability Pledge
Net tuition will not increase above the Higher Education Pricing Index
(3.6%) for undergraduate students in the lowest income (Pell eligible)
categories.
52
Rationale for Projections
AFFORDABILITY : Average out-of-pocket cost
UA will submit two reports to USO:
Report #1
No increase in SSI
6% increase in undergraduate tuition
Report #2
2% increase in SSI
5% increase in undergraduate tuition
Presumes no increases in Pell Grants.
Net tuition does not increase above HEPI (3.6%) for students in the lowest
income/high need categories.

Rationale for Projections
QUALITY: Tuition and fees weighted average of bachelor's degree
offered on a community college or regional campus
Cost efficient: Students can earn a four-year degree by taking part of their
coursework on a community college campus
UA partnership programs: UA has a number four-year degrees that are offered
at local community colleges and other off-site locations
Example: BS in Accounting offered at Lorain County Community College
• 90 hours of LCCC coursework (current per credit hour rate = $102)
• 39 hours of UA coursework (current per credit hour rate = $349)

FACTS:
• This is primarily a state level measure that we can help influence through the number
of PSEO high school students we enroll.
• The number of dual-enrollment students (including PSEO/Senior-to-Sophomore
students) enrolled at UA for fall 2008 is 503 students – up 52% from fall 2004.
• 53 percent of our PSEO students re-enroll at UA after graduating from high school.
24 percent of our PSEO students enroll at another Ohio public university.
• UA’s Early College High School, a partnership with Akron Public Schools, will have
300 students by fall 2009. The first two cohorts are on a track to graduate with high
school degrees and 30 to 60 hours of college credit.
RATIONALE:
• We expect to increase the number of PSEO and other traditional age (< 21) students
during the USO projection time period and contribute to the state’s desired increase.
