Accounting and Finance Accounting and Finance • Gather information about the current work status of our students in order to firm up the timeline for this project. • Help developing opportunities. • Approval of a regular course release or other incentives for the faculty member assigned this responsibility. It would be helpful to have support from the Office of Advancement, however, the director, Wendy Kobler is only available for fundraising events based on request by the school’s Dean. Consequently, the Department of Continuing Studies has offered to assist the department in carrying out the following activities:Obtain membership lists for these organizations, Schedule event and secure a location, Solicit attendance through invitation mailings, Provide arrangements for food and drink, Arrange for speakers, Focus specific appeals Accounting and Fiscal Systems Project requires buy-in from Purdue Procurement and Accounts Payable to implement. Admissions A CRM to assist with getting inquiries in the system for effective communication. We have a delay based on the number of request for information cards and inquiries on line that require manual data entry. This delay impacts our ability to follow-up timely and effectively with personalized and targeted messaging to students and to cultivate relationships throughout the enrollment process. Admissions Assessment and reallocation of existing resources and strategies to accomplish this goal. Admissions • Need to evaluate the cost of Banner Ellucian training for admission team-members. • I would like to reallocate resources we have spent annually to send one admission team member to the conference to have an Ellucian trainer to come to campus to assist our operations to become more efficient. • Additionally, we will need to spend some time in West Lafayette evaluating the operations of our colleagues to learn how they are effectively using Banner as our use of the system has not allowed my team to take full advantage of the functionality that may exists. Admissions Resources needed will be dictated by the parameters of the RFP and selected vendor. Alumni Relations Additional part-time wage funds would be very helpful as we grow our work-study program to aid our engagement efforts. Anthropology Significant increase in financial resources (S&E) for conference travel, summer research, and research releases. Anthropology Additional student government support for external speakers. Anthropology • Additional computer lab equipment for offering high impact methods courses. • Additional teaching collections, such as skeletal and artifact casts for student analysis and report writing, and media for interactive examination of culture and language. Additional specialty software site license acquisitions for some of our methods courses (i.e., , MAXQDA, ForDisc 2.0). Arts and Sciences Funding to support course or curriculum development grants. Assuming $2500/grant (and that may be too small) $25,000 could fund 10. Arts and Sciences .25 of the time (load) of the COAS Publication Director, Cathleen Carosella plus benefits (˜ $18,000) and additional S&E (˜ $6700). As I said, I will make this part of my 15-16 budget request.

Total $18,000 over three years. ½ time support person. $16,000 annually plus fringe. Athletics 1. Additional scholarship and recruiting dollars to approach at least League averages in every sport. 2. Additional staff to recruit and retain student-athletes 3. Upgraded facilities (locker rooms, baseball field, softball field, outdoor track, etc.,) to compete for student-athletes with institutions in our region like Butler, Oakland, Ball State, Valparaiso, etc., Athletics We have matched or outpaced and outperformed IU, PU, IUPUI, Ball State and Indiana State while at the same time being a LRI. Continued and full support from the University will be essential in maintaining the successes. Behavioral Health Clinic Behavioral Health Clinic Need funding for staff. Need more space for Center for Healthy Living. Biology While no resources required to accomplish goal initially, achieving additional course load-research activity taxes FTE providing rationale for a faculty line. Biology Biology Bursar Bursar Bursar Increased S-E - travel. May need travel funds Would need one additional FTE dedicated to collections. Yes, additional clerk required. Marketing support - kick-off campaign to spread awareness. Campus Safety An official memorandum from upper administration that would require departments having shops, studios and laboratories to participate in the Integrated Safety Plan and complete certification of their departmental safety programs through this plan. Campus Safety We will need several hours of assistance from both the IT department and the Physical Plant’s Web design administrator Career Services Hire a Graduate Assistant to run the program. The Graduate Assistant would be responsible for tracking the progress of each student worker in the program, marketing, and assessment results. Estimated cost for an additional part-time (15 hours a week) Graduate Assistant to manage this program would be $10,000. Center for Enhancement of Learning and Teaching Center for Enhancement of Learning and Teaching Center for Enhancement of Learning and Teaching Center for Women and Returning Adults Center for Women and Returning Adults Center for Women and Returning Adults $4,000 to support 1 FLC of 8 people. Additional Instructional Consultant/Designer. $1500 OR assess a $50 fee to each participant. Additional Instructional Consultant/Designer, preferably with PhD in education, social science, or other applicable degree. • Establishment of the center would require multi-year private grant funding, which the partners would commit to seeking. • Over the long-term, we would partner with the university’s Development division to seek long-term sponsorship of the center. We will seek a second year of funding from the IU Foundation’s Women’s Philanthropy Council. If the university decides to re-establish the society as a regional or national organization, it would require additional resources to hire a part-time administrator, and to secure office space. Page 2 Resources Needed, as reported in the Unit Reports Program Name Centers for Academic Success and Achievement Write Up • Willing participation from instructors in the academic units will determine how well those partnerships develop. • Increases in service options and spaces will require additional staffing to supervise student employees (80-100 student employees), develop program policies and procedures, and collect data to assess program effectiveness. • Developing new learning labs would require space and instructional technologies. Centers for Academic Success and Achievement • We need additional staffing to supervise our student employees (80-100 student employees). • We need a graduate student or intern whose sole focus is on developing, implementing, and assessing the training and evaluation processes. • We will seek buy-in and participation from faculty and staff who specialize in some of the topic areas to deliver that content. Centers for Academic Success and Achievement • Employing graduate assistants could allow for professional staff to complete other department work. • Employing graduate assistants in special tasks (assessment or tutor training and evaluation) would accomplish work not currently being done by professional staff. • Additional staff will be needed to take on supervision or additional hourly graduate student employees or to supervise graduate assistants. Centers for Academic Success and Achievement • We need additional staff with the technical skills to develop these service delivery options and supervise them. • We would need updated computers, web cams, microphones/headsets, and possibly software to deliver synchronous online services. Centers for Academic Success and Achievement We need additional staff whose job it is, at least in part, to maintain the data set and to develop the advanced mathematical models necessary to give us analysis of program effectiveness. Chemistry Degree program introduces 12 contact hours of new lecture/lab courses to be taught annually by full-time faculty. Therefore, full-time faculty will not be able to teach as part of their load the equivalent of six 100-level labs per year (2 faculty contact hours/lab). Will therefore need LTL (or CL) staffing of six 100-level labs per year. Chemistry Chemistry Civil and Mechanical Engineering Civil and Mechanical Engineering Need ensure sufficient S&E for action items 3, 4 and 5 above • Retention of current number of faculty lines when next retirement occurs in department • Student Life funding for WIS club • CE Lab budget = $25,000 per year and ME Lab budget = $25,000 per year • construction management and transportation lab • environmental engineering lab • senior design lab • support from marketing to publicize programs • support to create effective recruitment and outreach programs • $3.4 million Weitzman scholarship • dedicated, professional engineering advisor (newly created position with 0.5 FTE assigned to the CME programs) Page 3 Resources Needed, as reported in the Unit Reports Program Name Civil and Mechanical Engineering Civil and Mechanical Engineering Civil and Mechanical Engineering Civil and Mechanical Engineering Civil and Mechanical Engineering Civil and Mechanical Engineering Civil and Mechanical Engineering Write Up • sufficient professional development funds of $1500 x number of faculty = $15000 per year • adequate support for graduate program (see Goal 4), undergraduate research program (Goal 6), and modeling and simulation lab (see Goal 7) funding for 5 CE graduate assistants and 5 ME graduate assistants improved admission process: creation of an online system for submitting documentation and streamlined evaluation process • budget (estimated at $10,000) for expenses related to the restructuring • office space for LTL’s associated with the civil and mechanical engineering programs • fair and adequate compensation for department leadership funding of $6000 per year for support of the projects, faculty, and students funding of $6000 per year for software and hardware maintenance and upgrades • new faculty member in the advanced manufacturing area • regional input, direction, and support for an advanced manufacturing program • dedicated meeting space for student societies • dedicated, well-equipped space for students competitions including a hot spot (welding) area • technical support staff with abilities and desire to assist with such projects and activities Communication Communication Action items 3 and 4 will require new resources for graduate education We need space and funding for a newsroom Communication Summer stipend for lead advisor to develop materials and processes; funding for professional advisor; resources and the ability to be more flexible with faculty loads Communication Action items 3 will require new resources Communication Space is needed in the learning commons renovation plan for the presentation lab and additional GTA/TA lines to staff the lab. Communication Sciences and Disorders Additional budget to expand current staffing Community Research Institute The Co-Op office may need additional support. Public Policy internships have traditionally been coordinated by faculty members. However, I believe CRI can provide a strong support role in making those connections with our existing resources and participation within the community. Community Research Institute Reporting type and frequency would need to be determined. Additional non-TAA responsibilities constrain the Center’s ability to execute paid contracts. So far, CRI has not charged the costs of its services against individual departments’ budgets. CRI has absorbed them. Clear articulation from USAP on how IPFW is positioning itself to link faculty with the community. This will be a difficult goal to accomplish if we are swimming upstream. Collaboration on grantCommunity Research Institute funded projects would be the most likely avenue for collaboration; however, university policies restrict CRI’s ability to directly apply for funding from local foundations. IPFW administration issued a survey of CRI’s clients in September 2013. Receiving feedback from this survey to inform potential additional services would be helpful for our planning efforts. Compliance Daily compliance monitoring requires time, projects such as this, while of high priority are sometimes less immediate. It becomes a matter of time and staff. Page 4 Resources Needed, as reported in the Unit Reports Program Name Compliance Compliance Compliance Write Up Other unit support of principles of institutional control. Specifically: identified personnel in each unit with compliance-related responsibilities, which requires funding and personnel within those units. The biggest issue is time and staff. Any amount of time spent out at high schools, means that time is not spent in serving our current student-athletes and staff, which is often overwhelming. With just 2 people in the office and one non-exempt, it becomes a challenge. Computer Science Funding, research time, time identifying and selecting qualified applicants • Funding for mobile computing hardware • Additional faculty member with expertise in mobile computing Computer Science Computer Science • Additional faculty member with expertise in mobile computing I wish I had another faculty line. Computer Science While the department collects its own information from our graduates, access to the institution's information about alumni (including contact information and their current employment status, if available) would help fill gaps in our data. Computer Science Computer, Electrical, and Information Technology Computer, Electrical, and Information Technology Computer, Electrical, and Information Technology • Funding for the equivalent of a full-time student worker (spread among several TAs) would enable us to fully staff our tutoring center • Turning the oft-empty ETCS faculty lounge into a student lounge for ETCS students would free up our current lounge/tutoring room to focus on tutoring. While a student lounge might not seem important, it encourages peer connections, which are important for student persistence to graduation (e.g., Tinto, The Review of Higher Education 21.2 (1998) 167-177) 1. Increase in S& E funds to $28,000.00 to cover needed expenses. (Taken from the proposed CEIT department budget 2014-2015) 2. Faculty tenure track position specializing in digital electronics and FPGA design to replace the retirement of Iskandar Hack. 3. Implement of a recurring "Travel and Professional Development fund" of $2,000 for each faculty. (Taken from the proposed CEIT department budget 2014-2015) 4. Reinstate budget cuts from CEIT Laboratory fund making the recurring S&E $20,000 and the Salary & Wage of $22,000. (Taken from the proposed CEIT department budget 2014-2015) 5. Funding of CEIT LTL budget of $96,000 annually. (Taken from the proposed CEIT department budget 2014-2015) 1. Implement a $15,000 annual stipend to cover equipment replacement, equipment maintenance and to purchase emerging technologies. (Taken from the proposed CEIT department budget 2014-2015) 2. Implement a $6,000 annual stipend to cover software costs not covered by ITS. (Taken from the proposed CEIT department budget 2014-2015) 3. Space for a Information Technology laboratory. 4. One time funding of $50,000 for the purchase of Information Technology equipment. The new program, 3 years ago, never received any funding to purchase any type of equipment. 1. Funding for faculty training to prepare for ABET visit 2. 25% release time for two faculty members (one CPET and one EET) to prepare ABET report. Page 5 Resources Needed, as reported in the Unit Reports Program Name Computer, Electrical, and Information Technology Consumer and Family Sciences Consumer and Family Sciences Consumer and Family Sciences Consumer and Family Sciences Consumer and Family Sciences Consumer and Family Sciences Write Up 1. Continued special funding for "The Spot" tutoring service within the ET building. 2. Increased S&E Fund to host social and informational events. Hospitality Management • Assessment efforts are jeopardized by the fact that 79% of the dept sections are taught by LTL’s. • The S&E budget needs to be adjusted to historical expenditures that remain within 3% of tuition (excluding online surcharge) revenue generated by the dept. This is important for a dept that relies heavily on practical training, lab work and simulations as well as a proactive approach to reaching out to a global industry. The CFS S&E will require adjustments to support the faculty and delivery of the new degree proportional to its operational costs and revenue generation. Nutrition • Upon program approval, Nutrition program will eventually need additional full-time faculty. However, the program will be able to begin implementation without additional faculty. • The CFS S&E will require adjustments to support the faculty and delivery of the new degree proportional to its operational costs and revenue generation. Hospitality: S&E funded to cover historical departmental expenses which is needed to fund lab expenses (other than consumables) and conference attendance for F/T faculty. Sufficient S&E funding to support small expenditures related to guest speakers (lunch, hotel room etc). We need accurate data of actual progression of students towards their degrees instead of data relying on IPFW academic standing. For all the above goals we either need part time help or much more dedicated resources from the university support services. Nutrition: Upon program approval, Nutrition program will eventually need additional full-time faculty. However, the program will be able to begin implementation without additional faculty. The CFS S&E will require adjustments to support the faculty and delivery of the new degree proportional to its operational costs and revenue generation. Hospitality 1. S&E funded to cover historical departmental expenses which is needed to fund lab expenses (other than consumables) and conference attendance for F/T faculty. 1. We feel we need support of the VCAA and Deans to encourage actions 1 & 2. Continuing Studies Dean of Students 2. Funding to provide incentives for faculty. 1. Creative talent 2. Research partner It is possible we will need to hire additional marketing help if we continue to add programs. The purchase of assessment software from a company such as Campus Labs to develop assessment instruments and to centralize reporting would be helpful in accomplishing this goal. The platform provides open source assessments for all SAEM departments and areas and it hosts the data obtained. It also tracks response rates and participant demographics. Page 6 Resources Needed, as reported in the Unit Reports Program Name Write Up Dental Assisting Dental Hygiene This effort will be spearheaded by ODOS and done largely in collaboration with other departments, including Human Resources, ODMA, OIE, and others. Additional staffing will be needed in order for this to become a sustainable service. Donors Possibly more secretarial help, as outline above. Dental Hygiene Consultation with dental equipment and design experts to secure current information on the most modern dental equipment and techniques to make a “state of the art” facility. Dental Lab Tech An additional full time faculty member as requested in the BSDT proposal • Physical space for the increase in students • Larger working areas and student benches • Increase storage for supplies, equipment, and personal storage for student kits (locker room) Dean of Students Dental Lab Tech Development 3 new fundraisers & 2 new coordinators in FY 16, 3 new fundraisers & 2 new coordinators in FY 17, accurate data that encompasses email addresses, phone numbers and physical addresses, adequate space, funding for direct communication and engagement activities, and increased communication Development Training and continued professional development Development New software, IT support, Finding experienced and qualified fundraisers, training and professional development, better and appended data, physical space, furnishings and equipment, prioritization of Purdue staff on IU alumni data integration DBS is currently out of space. I have contacted Jay Harris to assist in improving our present situation. If we are able to accomplish the growth in students that is expected we will need to expand Doermer School of Business faculty and staff. That could not occur without additional space. We either need to take an interim step of adding to our space on the 3 rd floor of Neff or start the building process in the next six months for the long awaited new building. IPFW unified marketing plan that DSB could participate in. Economics Economics Department does not have sufficient faculty resources to cover its courses without the need for overloads. However, the VCAA has recently authorized search for a replacement and a new faculty. This should help the Department to better meet its teaching obligations and objectives. Education and Public Policy Due to shrinking faculty resources, the 50% FTE of a Continuing Lecturer who presently directs these initiatives may need to be reassigned back to teaching. One future possibility is the creation of a combined recruitment/retention and assessment administrative professional position to allow faculty with reassigned time for these activities to teach more courses. Education and Public Policy The CEPP is in need of a full-time administrative professional who can assist with high-level data collection, reporting, and analysis. This person may also take over recruitment and retention activities. Due to retirements and lost lines, the CEPP is losing significant human resources and cannot continue supporting this level of work based solely on faculty service. Education and Public Policy In addition to the time required to properly orient new faculty and guide them as they begin their teaching, research, and service, training for new faculty mentors is essential. Preparing high-quality professional development experiences will require trainers/presenters and possibly materials not available through CEPP resources due to other resource constraints and faculty obligations. Education and Public Policy To conduct a market analysis the CEPP would need external research and analysis support. To deliver the program, the CEPP would need additional tenure track faculty in Educational Leadership (two years ago, we had three tenure track and one clinical, as of next fall, we will have one halftime tenure track and one clinical faculty member). It is possible that other faculty would be needed to support the cognate areas. The program would have accreditation, compliance, and secretarial demands that stretch an already under-resourced system. Education and Public Policy Building a healthcare delivery and training building would take prioritization by the administration of other campus resources such as development. While not in direct competition, it may also necessitate prioritizing it over a new building for the Dormer School of Business. Page 7 Resources Needed, as reported in the Unit Reports Program Name Write Up We need to gain access (either within or outside of the university) to specialists who can design materials (i.e., Education Policy program brochure) and market our programs to traditional (e.g., high school students) and new populations (e.g., ECE, non-traditional students, citizens with some college courses). If these resources are not available for free within the university, we will need financial allocations to access them. Educational Studies It takes approximately 5 hours a week for each Academic Advisor to track licensure test scores and other program admission/ graduation requirements. We need financial allocations for a 20-hour a week workstudy student(s) to assist with these tasks as well as other recruitment and retention activities. In addition, it would be beneficial to partner with MAC office personnel to provide workshops on study habits, transition to college, self-efficacy, etc. Educational Studies We need an assessment specialist for the department through either an Academic/Professional Staff or a Faculty position. A faculty member has currently volunteered for this position, but this limits his ability to meet other faculty duties. Hiring an assessment specialist would provide leadership, knowledge, and specific skills at applied program assessment to support the goal of improving assessment tools and processes to more authentically measure student growth and program effectiveness. Doing so is not a want but rather a need to position us well for meeting the rigorous CAEP accreditation and SPA recognition requirements. Educational Studies As discussed previously (Goal 1), we need to gain access to specialists who can design materials and market our programs to traditional (e.g., local teachers) and new populations (e.g., teachers in surrounding states) using a variety of avenues (social media, post cards, etc.). If these resources are not available for free within the university, we will need financial allocations to access them. Educational Studies CELT will be needed for support and guidance as well as a liaison who between DES, IPFW administration, and Apple representatives. Educational Studies Electrical and Computer Engineering Assistance in locating viable funding sources for possible grant opportunities. Needed Resources Pat Farrell will need to provide assistance in locating viable funding sources for possible grant opportunities. The Office for Advancement will need to provide assistance with obtaining student scholarships. • Until we are an independent department we have no control on the laboratory budget thus to accomplish transparency of this budget will depend on the collaboration of the current department chair. • The development of a transparent and rational policy for S&E allocation is in the domain of the upper administration. They have been asked to do so as part of the recommendations from last year’s University Budget Committee. It is expected that the administration will develop those policies before the end of this fiscal year. Electrical and Computer Engineering More GTA support would definitely help recruiting our top undergraduate student into this 5-year program. These GTAs would better teach the labs compared with graduate students with the bachelor degree from other schools. It would also free the faculty from teaching labs, so more graduate courses can be offered to sustain our proposed 5-year BS/MSE program and MSE graduate program. Electrical and Computer Engineering An increase of GTA to about 5 per year is needed. Currently only one 0.25 FTE GTA has been assigned to assist with the ECE curriculum. We have as many or more laboratory requirements than other degree programs in IPFW which have been assigned a lot more GTAs. IPFW doesn’t have any rationale or criteria of how many GTAs a program is assigned. Electrical and Computer Engineering Support to a graduate program in any field of engineering needs to be increased by the IPFW administration. Currently the only way to have engineering graduate students is if they pay their own way or we secure external grants to pay 100% for their tuition feeds and stipends. This is not a sustainable model for any graduate program. IPFW needs to develop a criteria on how it funds GTAs. We don’t know of any policy that explains why some programs have 10, 12,… GTAs funded by IPFW and others have pretty much none, like in engineering. Hence, the MSECE program needs 4 GTA positions to sustain this program. Page 8 Resources Needed, as reported in the Unit Reports Program Name Electrical and Computer Engineering Electrical and Computer Engineering Write Up • An increase of GTA to about 5 per year is needed. Currently only one 0.25 FTE GTA has been assigned to assist with the ECE curriculum. We have as many or more laboratory requirements than other degree programs in IPFW which have been assigned a lot more GTAs. IPFW doesn’t have any rationale or criteria of how many GTAs a program is assigned. • Increase the amount of S&E funds. The Department of Engineering with 20 faculty members has about $26,000 of S&E annual budget. IPFW departments with 6 or 7 faculty members have the same amount of S&E funds. As for the case of allocation of GTAs, IPFW currently has no rationale or criteria for the assignment of S&E. This small budget of S&E funds doesn’t allow for the support of faculty to attend technical conferences negatively affecting their scholarly work. Although this goal generally does not require additional resources, the future ECE Department must have adequate LTL and/or GTA budget. Engineering, Technology, and Computer Science • Increase S&E fund including student work money for Outreach Center and Student Success Center • Fund the position of Assistant Dean of Academic Opportunities • Funding for renovation of laboratory and creating new space Engineering, Technology, and Computer Science • Need 2 more faculty positions in freshmen engineering program • Funding to support peer-to-peer tutoring programs • Fund the position of Assistant Dean for Academic Opportunities (also requested in goal-1) Engineering, Technology, and Computer Science Engineering, Technology, and Computer Science Engineering, Technology, and Computer Science • Additional funding is needed to support (a) temporary instructional positions, (b) faculty development, and (c) accreditation cost • Need laboratory support, new faculty positions and GTAs Need operating budget (S&E) for ETCS-METP Funding for one or two faculty positions • Need sufficient faculty development fund • Need to provide matching fund or release time as an incentive for excellence; graduate assistants, student workers and equipment • Return of overhead recovery is not well defined and allocated • Strategic hiring of faculty for signature program English and Linguistics We could make use of either one work-study or unpaid intern to assist departmental staff. English and Linguistics The program needs an additional linguistics person for managing classes and contributing to its regular offerings in the academic year. English and Linguistics English and Linguistics Additional funds to supplement salaries of Appleseed site coordinators Travel funds for student conferences English and Linguistics We recommend an additional .25 FTE (approx. $18,000) for Cathleen Carosella in COAS publications to coordinate with both bodies of publication supervisors. We will also need to maintain the current assistant position at $22,877. The department will support $5000 for paid internships (with the department receiving the commensurate tuition for offering the internships to offset costs). Additional estimated costs of $5000-6000 will be needed for production/mailing costs (to be offset by print subscriptions and submission fees for authors, royalties and sales). Environmental Resources Center Success at community engagement will be contingent in part upon the time available to the director and other personnel for outreach and service. Internal funds are useful as match to pursue external funding opportunities and as cost share for programs such as work study. Financial Aid Financial Aid Support from executive leadership.

Freshmen Engineering •Appropriate replacement of ETCS Advisor, Penny Pereira (retiring) is essential to the smooth functioning and continued development of this program. Freshmen Engineering Planned hiring of new faculty is essential. General Studies No, we will need marketing expertise and financial support for that process. If the degree enrollment expands significantly, another academic advisor may be needed as well as additional S&E. General Studies Geosciences We will need financial resources for the survey, consulting fees, etc. and partnerships across campus to participate. Will require cooperation from COAS, RESP and StuGov to create funding guidelines. Department needs to convert the DCS based CL to COAS, and needs to provide a 3 credit release to enable outreach to dual credit partners. Without the release we will not be able to adequately expand contact time with dual credit partners. Geosciences Geosciences Department must fill vacant faculty position with specialist in local geology. The conversion from paleontologist to Quaternary geologist is a key component for reaching-out to local consultants and governments. Lacking an individual in this position thwarts most significant initiatives. Gerontology This goal probably can be achieved without additional resources—at least minimally—but, the ability to truly grow and improve the program is not likely to happen without a greater investment of time and energy from whomever occupies the Directorship. That investment will almost certainly fail to occur without greater compensation for the role (e.g., summer salary or another course release during the academic year). Graduate Studies Graduate Studies Based on the assessment data, departments will need additional faculty lines. Travel funds to travel to major current potential employers outside the Fort Wayne area are needed. Page 10 Resources Needed, as reported in the Unit Reports Program Name Graduate Studies Graduate Studies Write Up SIS personnel time to finish development and testing on online graduate application process. Money is currently transferred from RESP to cover the student travel money and 2 graduate assistantships. Additional money is needed to fund the increase in graduate assistantships both at the program level and for OGS. An outside web designer is needed to completely redesign the OGS website. On campus resources are not available. Marketing money is provided through the marketing department. We are also partnering with the Office of Continuing Studies to coordinate marketing and recruitment strategies. Grounds We will need $100,000 to complete this project. Since storage barn is for salt storage that use for on the roads, we could use parking facility funds. Grounds $50,000 would be needed to purchase the brine maker and sprayer boom for maintaining roadways on campus. Health and Human Services All resources will need to be raised through an organized development plan. Funding should include appropriate mix of public and private funding. Health and Human Services additional financial support to cover costs of site visits in Nursing and Human Services Additional faculty position in Dental Technology Health and Human Services dedicated phone line for Ace Place additional technology to support program offerings Health and Human Services Health and Human Services History History History may need additional classroom supplies and materials Office - most likely in Neff B50 Office technology and supplies Salary for position • The current faculty in the Department of History are experts in their respective fields. However, there are a number of geographical areas that are not represented in the faculty areas of expertise—East Asia (China, Japan, North and South Korea, etc.), South Asia (India, Pakistan, etc.), the Middle East—which limits the department’s ability to provide faculty experts for programming dealing with these geographical areas that are in the news and of interest to the local communities. • Having additional faculty whose areas of expertise falls into one of these geographical areas would allow us to “expand meaningful collaborations and research opportunities” and “provide access to outstanding intellectual programming.” • It may also become necessary to hire student workers to help with specific projects (e.g. coordinating events; planning the History Conference). •The current hiring climate and declining enrollments in the university as a whole will limit our ability to request a new faculty position. •Another problem lies more on the “demand” side—departments organize great events on campus already, but departments don’t always have the resources and expertise to be able to adequately promote them. The lack of a centralized calendar that is easy to use often means that competing events end up being scheduled at the same time. IPFW needs to have a better system for scheduling and promoting campus events (beyond the “big ticket” ones like Omnibus) that would ensure that the hard work of departments on the content of events does not go to waste. • Hiring student workers to help with specific projects (e.g. creation of an alumni database). • Compensating students who are involved in time-intensive projects like mentoring other students • Compensating/rewarding faculty for involvement in the more time-intensive projects • Cooperation from the Alumni Office in helping us get the materials about our alumni • Hiring student workers to help with specific projects (ex, creation of an alumni database) • Compensating/rewarding faculty for involvement in the more time-intensive projects. Page 11 Resources Needed, as reported in the Unit Reports Program Name History History Write Up A course release for the instructor (Prof. Jeffrey J. Malanson) in Fall 2015 as he leads the process of developing the complete assessment plan, including all assessment tools, would facilitate the development of a much stronger plan. In order to fully meet the goal of a truly global curriculum, we would need an additional tenure line in Asian history, broadly defined. 1. Need to figure out how to handle expanded advising 2. Assistance with Data Collection—each new idea we have usually requires assistance in setting up a new COGNOS report, etc. It would be great to be able to have someone who can help us with that 3. Stronger relationship with Admissions—we are working on this. Honors Program We would like to be able to work with the Office of Development to grow the Honors Program Endowment in anticipation of greater demand for scholarship and research assistantship resources as the program participation grows. Honors Program As more and more students take part in the process (I am meeting with freshmen (!) and sophomores who have ideas for projects they would like to do), we are going to need more and more faculty to serve as mentors, external reviewers, etc. In many cases, mentorship is a very time-intensive process that faculty at this time do not get compensated for. It would be great to be able to offer some financial reward to faculty for the work they do in this area. As we are experimenting with “group H-Options,” it would be great if we could figure out a way to compensate faculty for that additional work as well. Honors Program Honors Program Honors Program Human Services Information Technology Services Information Technology Services Information Technology Services Information Technology Services Information Technology Services Information Technology Services Institute for Holocaust and Genocide Studies We would like to continue to have a strong relationship with John Kaufeld and his team to help us promote our events. As the program expands, we might want to partner up with IPSGA to help us with costs of food for audience members, etc. Honors advising is an extremely important part of the process of growing the Honors program, but as the director, there are days where I end up spending 5-6 hours on advising. As the volume increases, we will need to think about dealing with advising in a way that still allows me to do the rest of my job. One possibility is to move towards using peer advisors, though we need at least another year before we have a strong enough cohort of students who I would feel comfortable delegating this responsibility to. Depending on expertise of members of HPC and their level of experience with assessment, we may need additional assistance from the Office of Assessment. Work with Dean to assure financial ability for accreditation visit. Limitations in staffing is the primary challenge. Additional funding may be required. Additional funding may be required.

Financial support to pay for food at mixers, copying of flyers, other material costs for cultural events International Studies Will require INTL director to revise classes regularly assigned: for example, instead of teaching PACS 200 twice a year in addition to other teaching assignments, teach a new INTL class and one PACS (or two INTL classes instead of 2 PACS classes/year). Similarly, INTL-affiliated faculty are often limited by rigid departmental teaching obligations and/or ability to teach overload International Studies INTL director as tenured associate professor, additional faculty resources whether in the form of actual INTL hires or the ability for faculty in other programs/departments to teach more freely as INTL “core faculty” similar to the model of INTL at IU-Bloomington IPFW Foundation Learning Commons May require temporary help to produce documents (audit trails of expenditures, bank statements, procedural manuals, historical documents, etc). Physical plant assistance in temporarily relocating LC services outside the core of the building during construction. • A new governance document that recognizes the Learning Commons as a unique entity that should be an independent administrative unit. Learning Commons Learning Commons • Appropriate staffing (full-time, graduate assistant, student) and appropriate work space for additional staff. The staffing is needed to manage the services and operations of the Learning Commons and to coordinate the collaborative efforts of the major constituents. Learning Commons This goal requires decisions and actions by the vice chancellors. • We are currently awaiting new assessment guidelines from the Office of Assessment. • We need to establish a service plan that identifies measurable outcomes. Library Services Resources to move staff out of the building and reposition them on the perimeter of the core should be covered by renovation funds. Library Services Personnel: Full-time archivist $56,000; full-time support staff $30,000 Equipment, Supplies: $20,000 Management and Marketing New faculty are necessary based on the extent of offerings. Management and Marketing Additional faculty lines are needed. Management and Marketing Need support for conference attendance, journal submissions, professional organizational membership fees, and for acquiring computer hardware, software and databases. Management and Marketing Additional resources needed to support student research collaborations with faculty. Management and Marketing Need additional facilities to house the visiting scholars. Management and Marketing Substantial amount of funds are needed to continue BUS-D490 course offering. Management and Marketing Expenses related to AACSB accreditation maintenance - annual fees, attendance at AACSB conferences, and costs associated with the visiting accreditation team. Manufacturing and Construction Engineering Technology Additional faculty lines and the freedom to set credential requirements at the Department level.

Military Student Services Military Student Services Music Music Music Nursing Nursing Nursing Nursing Funding. We may require new or refined reports, and additional program support. Underwriting by external sources Guaranteed financial support for recruitment trips by faculty and ensembles Guaranteed funding At least 2-4 more clinical instructional faculty; At least 2-4 more clinical instructional faculty; • At least 2 additional doctorally prepared and certified faculty; • Additional graduate program secretarial support; • Resources to support education and certification maintenance; • Additional primary care clinic settings; • One doctorally prepared (Ph.D. or DNP) with specialization in psychiatric nursing; Operations/Maintenance Operations/Maintenance May need some additional funding of approximately $ 50-$75K. Will need some additional funding. A part time student worker or clerical staff member to assist with data collection reminders and coordination. Organizational Leadership and Clarity at the university level about assessment reporting and feedback. Supervision Page 15 Resources Needed, as reported in the Unit Reports Program Name Write Up Increased professional development funding so faculty can attend national and international teaching conferences regularly. With limited travel funding, faculty are forced to choose between research and teaching conferences, and often research conferences get priority. Organizational Leadership and Funding, to consolidate and run data collected from alumni surveys, and to cover costs of periodic external review. Supervision More resources to put towards advising so faculty can devote more time to teaching innovation. Additional financial support for faculty to present their research at peer-reviewed conferences and to go to conferences or training to enhance or update their research skills (e.g., learn new methods). Organizational Leadership and Research assistant hired by the department. We have one currently; but we want to add more funding to assist with data analysis (e.g., transcriptions). Supervision A research account for faculty to have easy access to funds for conducting research. Organizational Leadership and Implementing a leadership event with an organization would likely involve some financial and logistical support from the college and campus. Financial support may be needed for marketing Supervision materials. Philosophy The return of the faculty line previously utilized to address this goal. Philosophy Tangible recognition of achievements in this area has been made largely impossible in the last number of years due to blanket administrative policies at the campus level. As such, alternative arrangements rewarding faculty achievement in this area, past and future, such a rotating course release would need to be approved by the dean of COAS and perhaps by the VCAA. Philosophy • Another permanent faculty member to increase diverse faculty specialization. Philosophy Depending on the scope and nature of the event in question, the department will likely require some form of financial assistance in the form of cost sharing from other sources such as COAS, OAA, or RESP, as well as support for student participation (e.g., a work study student). Physical Plant Portions of this project might have to be phased to accomplish some features with funding from future years. Physical Plant Our Administration will need to support and promote this goal. It is critical that this goal remain the focus of our effort to secure this capital funding this legislative session. Physical Plant Funding to cover the cost of a Land Survey, a legal description and the fees required for University Council to develop the agreement. This will require funding from the IP foundation or some other source. Physical Plant Physics An additional $1,500,000 in recurring funds needs to be budgeted for utilities. Currently short staffed Time is our biggest resource shortage. Did we mention that the faculty in the department typically have a 1 to 2 hour overload each semester (chair often has 3-6 hour overload)? This makes it difficult to make progress on these difficult topics and the university has been less than helpful in marketing. Physics Physics Physics Physics Also, University policies make things cost prohibitive. For example, the expense of a LCD Wall display is very expensive if we follow the university policy which requires significant infrastructure. This cost is placed on the department even though there is a desired university outcome being achieved. So in essence the department is taxed to create a video display that promotes the department. We will need money for apparatus. However, lab fees might cover this. We still need faculty time for development. Not without more faculty time. That may be forthcoming. We need help on how to seek these students. Help finding money for scholarships. Not unless we end the required overloads. Hopefully this will be partially fixed starting Fall 2015. Page 16 Resources Needed, as reported in the Unit Reports Program Name Physics Physics Physics Physics Write Up Another free hour during the week. TIME. A return to normal teaching loads (without mandatory overtime) would greatly help. • Time to develop and integrate the courses into a concentration and into the Physics degree. • Space for an undergrad. Astronomy Laboratory for 5-10 students. • Equipment (CCD cameras, spectrometers, lasers, optical components) for the “Techniques of Modern Astronomy” Course. • Funds for the above equipment. • Faculty release time (a 3 hour (?) load dedicated to this goal.) • Lab equipment Physics Political Science Political Science Political Science Political Science We need help recruiting. More support for COAS as core of liberal arts education Time Continued access to university media connections Currently would not need LTL money, but such might be necessary in the future. Political Science Eventually the department should have a tenure-track faculty member who can cover East and Southeast Asia. Political Science Additional resources could become necessary as department explores possible techniques that might be used Professional Studies Professional Studies Professional Studies Professional Studies Project Upward Bound Psychology Psychology Public Policy 1.All three programs need a year-round program director because of their year-round program schedules. In addition, expansion of recruitment efforts requires close coordination with the Office of Graduate Studies and University marketing processes. 2.Investigation of honor organizations to engage graduate students in their professions requires, purchases of orientation materials, and additional faculty time to serve as organization coordinators. 3.Expanded scholarship opportunities require coordination with IPFW Office of Advancement, investigation of off-campus professional scholarship opportunities, resources to collect information from professional organizations, and additional faculty time to coordinate department student scholarship effort. Faculty time to draft program review reports, analyze data/feedback, and make required curricular changes. Funding to contract individual program review consultants to examine draft program review reports. An Assessment Coordinator to monitor compliance with national and state level accreditation and licensing requirements. Year-round program directors to maintain assessment files, analyze data, and prepare for program modifications as needed. Additional funding is needed for faculty to attend and present at conferences in preparation as part of P & T as well as annual reviews. The facility currently housing the Counseling Clinic (Dolnick) is insufficient for the size and quality of services needed for a Multicultural Mental Health Center. A commitment of university funding to support the program and/or physical plant is required for this to become a signature program. Current support from community agencies would need to be maintained and expanded. Development of a PhD in leadership program requires extensive coordination between IPFW departments to ensure appropriate faculty expertise and oversight of the program. Development of a PhD in Leadership requires strong local advocacy of this advanced degree within the Indiana University and Purdue University systems. Study space on campus dedicated to TRIO students. $6,000 for the pilot program ($500 stipend for each of 12 student leaders) Part-time advisor position. Dichotomous variable: 1=additional faculty line(s) approved by the VCAA (full-time, tenure-track positions only) 0=no additional line(s) approved by the VCAA (full-time, tenure-track positions only) Page 17 Resources Needed, as reported in the Unit Reports Program Name Public Policy Radiography Radiography Registrar Registrar Write Up Additional resources would need to be allocated to the department as well as to the College of Education and Public Policy. Funding for Installation of x-ray equipment is needed. Approximate cost of Installation= $35,000-$40,000. Cost savings of equipment storage = $849.00 annually. The Unit will need to develop an initial fund drive as well as ongoing annual fundraisers and potential donors. Initially, IT resources of time and technical knowledge are needed to implement one public schedule of classes and the mobile app for the IPFW bulletins. SIS business analyst support will be needed on an on-going basis to support this initiative. As long as we continue to "plug-in" software systems to the Banner student system, staff support is needed for upgrades and maintenance. • In order to implement a comprehensive room scheduling software, IT time and technical knowledge is required along with financial support for purchase of the software, training, and on-going staff (SIS business analyst) support for upgrades and maintenance. UniTime software is free to download; however, there is no such thing as a "free lunch". The costs incurred involve server resources and IT support. • In order to implement all of the actions of this goal, IT resources and staff will be required. Ongoing, an SIS business analyst will be needed to support and test the functionality during upgrades and maintenance. • Hardware for document imaging, specifically, scanners in the enrollment offices and servers in IT services. Research, Engagement, and Sponsored Programs The 2020 Outcomes goal of “Triple the number and increased value of technical assistance-like contracts and consultations with regional business and industry to $1 million annually” will be limited by the availability and interest of faculty with skill sets applicable to the needs of the local industry. Currently, we are operating at a level below the target. There often exists a mismatch between industry needs and available/interested faculty. For some faculty, I have more work than can be done within their overload limits and time constraints, while others have research agendas that don’t map easily to industry needs. We don’t turn these clients away, but instead they are referred to Purdue or IU to continue the engagement. Services for Students with Disabilities Sufficient funds are currently not allocated or available to ensure accessibility of course materials. Currently the responsibility lies with the faculty and department with no resources tied to this accountability. If this method continues, a process would need to be developed where by the administration clarifies their expectations to the faculty, provides funding, and documents instances where accessibility is not achieved. If the University wishes to move accountability to SSD to render course material into accessible format(s), new positions, equipment, space and funding would be required. Services for Students with Disabilities To establish university responsibility, support, and perspective, a Chancellor/Vice Chancellor appointed and authorized committee comprised of the Director for SSD, OIE, faculty and staff to measure and report annually on the state of institutional ADA compliance. Services for Students with Disabilities Institutional policy and procedural changes Services for Students with Disabilities Sociology Special Events Special Events Student Housing Grant Funding Time and Institutional support We estimate that course releases would begin in no earlier than two years from the date the policy is enacted and anticipate that we would average maybe two releases per year. This would require two LTL positions in addition to the one’s provided in the budget. • University Marketing assistance • Funding for external marketing Will need recurring capital funding for improvements, repairs and upgrades We will need help from personal in Student Affairs. Page 18 Resources Needed, as reported in the Unit Reports Program Name Student Information Support Systems Student Information Support Systems Student Information Support Systems Student Information Support Systems Write Up Create a committee to explore what additional resources are needed to do this type of assessment. Look at other institutions that are similar to IPFW and accomplishing this. Start simple and grow. Need additional SIS Business Analysts and support from other units, so we can make this a priority. Although we have purchased the Banner Document Imaging product, we would need consulting for implementation, required hardware, and an administrator. Training needs to be purchased to speed up the process of learning quickly. The unit currently does not have time to train themselves because of user required needs. Student Life and Leadership One additional resource that would assist in this achievement of this goal is the installation of additional television monitors for the purposes of digital signage. Student Life and Leadership • Continued IPSGA support is critical to the success of student travel and student organization funding. Student Success and Transition Additional funding from First Year Council and/or a modest addition to the student activity fee (or the creation of an orientation fee) may be necessary dependent upon programmatic offerings. Student Success and Transition Additional resources could potentially include: financial support for student success and transition programming; student leaders from collaborating departments; marketing and communications efforts across campus; and faculty support inside of classrooms. Student Success and Transition Additional resources are needed in the following forms: reoccurring funding to support mentorship efforts; academic unit support and willingness to utilize Coaches in and outside of their classrooms, in addition to desire and willingness to act in a mentorship relationship with Coaches and mentees. Student Success and Transition In order to accomplish this goal, financial resources and willing collaborators would be necessary. Student Success and Transition A nominal increase in funding annually Theatre Visual Communication and Design Visual Communication and Design Funding assistance from internal and/or external sources. Additional funding to hire 2 LTL faculty. • Engagement of national and international experts as online project reviewers • Engagement of national design thinkers as rotating guest speakers during summer student residencies • Engagement of Administrative Assistant Wireless Technology Center Additional funds for advertising and marketing collateral (printed pieces, banners, table displays, etc.). Access to Admissions’ high school databases to create a more thorough list of school administrative contacts and discipline-specific teachers. ITS and Administrative funding commitment The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering may need adequate LTL budget. It may be necessary for the Honors Program to be funded better. Women's Studies An increase to our S&E for programming of at least $3,000. Women's Studies An additional tenure-track position for an assistant professor with specialization in transnational/global feminism. Women's Studies Funding of tenure-track position request; funds to provide incentives for LTLs to participate in professional development opportunities and revise courses with high-impact learning in mind; improved pay for LTLs to aid in retention of experienced instructors. Women's Studies A full-time faculty position to assist with the workload of the entire program, as well as with outreach. Visual & Performing Arts Visual & Performing Arts Page 19
