1. 1 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 1 School of Science Staff Assembly May 25, 2006

2. 2 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 2 The IUPUI School of Science provides outstanding basic science education for all IUPUI students, education in depth for students in our School, and engages in fundamental and applied research in the physical, biological, mathematical, and psychological sciences in order to increase scientific knowledge and advance the development of the life sciences at IUPUI and in the State of Indiana. 2

3. 3 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 3 Teaching has been a central part of IUPUI’s mission from the beginning and we have a reputation for helping our students succeed – our strength in teaching and learning must be preserved and enhanced. Provide effective and appealing entry level courses to provide the foundation for many majors and to support general education Support Gateway courses with the level of assistance that will enable increasing numbers of students to succeed and continue to pursue their education Offer programs for majors that prepare students for graduate education or entering the workforce while enhancing our reputation as a university that provides exciting and unique opportunities Increase scholarship support for our students 3

4. 4 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 4 IUPUI is a major research institution! From the mission of IUPUI, it is clear that the School of Science must play a central role in the research efforts of the institution. To do so, we must Hire and retain outstanding faculty and staff Build vigorous graduate programs leading to the PhD in each of our seven departments Acquire appropriate research space, including wet labs and animal facilities, to support the research programs of the faculty Promote interdisciplinary research –– both within the School of Science and with scientists in Medicine or in other institutions and local industry 4

5. 5 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 5 Hire and retain outstanding faculty and staff Provide competitive beginning salaries for faculty and staff and competitive start-up packages for new faculty Bring the salaries of all the faculty and staff in the School of Science to market levels Provide productive environments for faculty and staff to do their best work 5

6. 6 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 6 Build vigorous graduate programs leading to the PhD in each of our seven departments –– we know that graduate students form a vital piece of the research effort in Science! Increase the number of graduate students in each of our departments Bring support for our graduate students to competitive levels Develop a PhD program in Earth Sciences and, where necessary, work with the Purdue Graduate School and West Lafayette departments to reduce impediments to our students’ success in existing PhD programs 6

7. 7 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 7 Acquire appropriate research space, including wet labs and animal facilities, to support the research programs of the faculty Be opportunistic in seeking space on and off campus Look toward future buildings for expansion opportunities More than 7500 sq ft of new research space will be occupied or ready for occupancy by School of Science researchers by the end of 2006! LD 040, 220, 222: ~2600 sq ft 1200 Waterway (Polis): ~2500 sq ft MISB: ~3600 sq ft Future renovation of SL with Engineering and Technology will yield ~3000 sq ft of space for Science Discussions underway for other space 7

8. 8 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 8 Promote interdisciplinary research –– both within the School of Science and with scientists in Medicine or in other institutions and local industry Support interdisciplinary research collaborations, including centers, within the School Work with the School of Medicine to identify areas of common interest, in particular, introduce new faculty to SoM scientists Pursue use of contiguous space for SoM and SoS researchers Promote joint seminars, joint appointments, etc. More than 1/3 of School of Science faculty have active research projects with School of Medicine scientists New space provided for Nanoscale Imaging Center 8

9. 9 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 9 To accomplish these tasks successfully, we will continue our active pursuit of major gifts from individuals, corporations, and foundations who share our vision Enhance the relationship with the School of Science Alumni Association Build an active Dean’s Advisory Council Invest in a strong development staff and work with the IU Foundation to build relationships with donors Donations 2000-01: $225,565 (Campaign for IUPUI) Donations 2001-02: $186,516 (Campaign for IUPUI) Donations 2002-03: $412,721 (Campaign for IUPUI) Donations 2003-04: $347,312 (Campaign for IUPUI) Donations 2004-05: $330,051 Donations 2005-06: $381,558 (received to date + pledges) 9

10. 10 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 10 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis School of Science Budget Highlights 10

11. 11 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Budget 101: Where it all begins………July 1 Base Budget 1.Predictions: Credit Hours ICR-Indirect Cost Recovery Other Income – miscellaneous Lab Fee Requests- new/changes 2.Budget Office Proformas: Budget Construction Time Income: based on predictions & Cr. Hr. rates State Appropriation Assessments: negative income = TOTAL INCOME

12. 12 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 3. Expenses: Salaries: % raise given by trustees as ceiling for schools. Not what is usually reported in newspaper. Chairmen given guidelines by Dean and then make recommendations to Dean. Dean then recommends to Trustees. Benefits: Rates set by University. Fixed Expenses: Hospitality, Life Cycle Funds, Tech Fee, etc. Operating Expenses: General operating expenses for departments and Dean’s office. i.e: phones, paper, copies, hourly wages, travel, etc.

13. 13 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 4.End Result………July 1 Base Budget: Estimated Base Income – Budgeted Base Expenses = Balanced Base Budget

14. 14 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis What about Cash? Cash is the result of either: An increase in credit hours over what we predicted. An increase in ICR over what we predicted. An unfilled (Vacant) position.

15. 15 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis What do we use Cash for? 1.Start-up Costs for New Faculty 2.The difference between the July 1 st Base allocation and what the School really needs to take care of business. Is this new? No. The School has not been fully funded by the Base budget for many years. Vacant lines have funded the Base shortfall.

16. 16 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Where are we Today? How did we get here? What are we doing now?

17. 17 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 17 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis School of Science Budget Highlights The budget picture for 2006-07 is far from sweet Why are we where we are? Decisions made in 2004-05 (and earlier) for new faculty hires remove too much cash in 2006-07 The budget actions of the central administration about our state allocations are inconsistent with the goals the campus has for us and the goals we have for ourselves The seeds for our problem were sown several years ago, we are now beginning to harvest the fruit! 17

18. 18 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 18 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis A 62% cut in Appropriations is inconsistent with meeting the doubling goals or, indeed, most other goals of the School and IUPUI!!!

19. 19 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 19 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Appropriations less Assessments 1998-99 to 2005-06

20. 20 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 20 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis The return of this money from the School of Science to the central administration means that the July 1 budget for the School of Science does not this year, and has not for many years, provided enough money for the School to cover the operating budgets in the School! The operating budgets have been funded with cash from unfilled positions in the School. The base budget, the July 1 budget for the School, covers salaries, taxes, and other predetermined expenses.

21. 21 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 21 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Academic Program Budgets 2005-06 Base, July 1: 15,726,271 3,174,005 Cash, 1,185,940 January ’06

22. 22 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 22 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Academic Program Budgets 2006-07 Base, July 1: 15,984,196 2,360,000 Cash needed: 2,554,942

23. 23 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 23 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Cash position Estimated cash still available for ’05-’06 ~ 1,230,000 Estimated salary savings for ’06-’07 ~ 825,000 Total available ~ 2,055,000 Commitments against cash Start-up costs, etc, expected in ’05-’06 ~ 200,000 Start-up costs, etc, expected in ’06-’07 ~ 950,000 Operating fund cash for acad progs 2,554,942 Total needed ~ 3,705,000 Cash shortfall expected: $1,650,000

24. 24 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 24 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis For us to succeed as a School in meeting the Chancellor’s doubling goals and our own goals for the growth and development of our instructional and research efforts requires investment in the future, for faculty and staff, for graduate students, for space. Projections from the current and recent budgets are incompatible with these goals.

25. 25 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Either the campus budget picture must change or we must accept annual shrinkage in our funded faculty lines.

26. 26 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 26 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis What are we doing now? There will be School-wide strategic planning involving every faculty member, starting in the Departments, and directly and significantly involving the Chairs and the SOS Steering Committee as well as the Dean and others from the Dean’s Office. We will seek the assistance of a planning expert in the School or elsewhere on campus, and we will tie the planning to the budget process.

27. 27 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 27 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis I remain committed to IUPUI and the vision for the future that I believe we share!
