2015-16 USAP Goals aligned to Plan 2020

Plan 2020 Goal

(by Code) Unit Unit Goal

I Admissions Maintain the market position of IPFW within the Northeast Indiana Region while expanding

outside of the 13 counties previously targeted for recruitment to attract a more academically and

culturally diverse entering Freshmen class.

I Admissions Strategically align our Marketing and Recruitment Efforts with the Enrollment Funnel to enhance

our key marketing messages across all stages of the admission process.

I Admissions Increase our partnerships across campus utilizing faculty, staff, current students, alumni and

community organizations in our on campus programming and overall visit experience to

maximize our resources and efforts.

I Admissions Increase conversion by 30% of dual enrollment students to degree seeking student status at IPFW

upon their graduation from high school by Fall 2018.

I Athletics All teams qualify for Summit League/MIVA Tournament competition and finish ranked at least in

the top-half of Summit League/MIVA standings every year. (Note: sports have differing

tournament formats.)Context: Success on the court or playing field (particularly in men's or

women's basketball) has proven to attract new applicants. For example, Florida Gulf Coast

University and Butler University's recent success in the NCAA men's basketball tournament

translated into large increases in student applications (35% and 41%).College sports also serve as

a marketing vehicle through media coverage and game broadcasts which are essentially free

advertising for the University. The value of that exposure was quantified for several universities

after they made recent unlikely runs in the NCAA Men's Basketball Final Four. Studies assessing

the impact of basketball success reported that George Mason University received an equivalent

of $677 million in media exposure and Butler enjoyed $410 million in exposure.

I Athletics Increase per diem structure for student-athletes. IPFW is currently last of nine institutions in the

Summit League and there has been no increase in years. Administrators, faculty and staff are

provided Conus rates in the range of $46-$71/day, while our student-athletes and coaches are

limited to $24 a day regardless of destination. The goal is to increase per diem to at least $26/day

for in-state travel and $36/day for out-of-state travel. (Which would still rank among bottom 4 of

9 peer institutions)

I Athletics Satisfy all elements of NCAA probation for financial aid violation.

I Bursar Bursar will effectively bill and collect student account receivables which bring in revenue to the

university.

I Bursar Bursar will ensure its fiduciary responsibilities to the University are met by reconciling accounts

on a monthly basis.

I Bursar Bursar's Office will increase the number of students who utilizetheir Busar Student Account

(accessed throughmy.ipfw.edu) from 20% to 50% of the currently registered students.

I Business Office Enhance the knowledge and skill level of department staff.

I Business Office Create plan for the documentation of critical and/or routine tasks and procedures

I Business Office Review and enhance the Administrative Business Services provided to the IPFW Community

certification in this program. (see Purdue Environmental Health and Safety Compliance Policy

IV.A.4).



Institute plan to Hydro test fire standpipes on campus to meet federal and state fire codes. This

will be needed every 5 years from now on.



Rekey the entire library to the new Campus Key system. We will work with Library personnel to

develop a practical system of master and submaster keys to meet the Library’s new needs. New

lock and lock hardware will then be installed in the building according to the new specifications.

The new key system will increase the security of the building, equipment and occupants of the

Library..

I Chancellor Advocate for and secure significant increase in base funding (operating budget) from state

legislature.

I Chancellor Build on what we are already doing to transition and operate as a Multi-system, Metropolitan

University: Enhance and develop quality partnerships with the Fort Wayne metropolitan region,

focused on teaching, research, and public service in order to build, enhance and sustain regional

quality of life.

I Civil and Mechanical Engineering Increase the number of qualified students, both undergraduate and graduate, entering the

program and help students to successfully advance through the program in a timely manner, to

better meet the needs of NE Indiana.

I Operations Goal #1-Complete Saniglaze process on restroom floors in all campus Buildings. Saniglaze is the

process of removing all of most of the grout between the ceramic tile that is damaged or stained

and replaces and seals the grout to create a sanitary surface that can be cleaned using normal

custodial materials and methods. The process is labor intensive and is normally completed during

semester breaks. The process includes an annual evaluation and re-sealing treatment.

I Operations Goal # 2 - Initiate a more specified Roofing PM (preventive maintenance) Program with an

outside roofing vendor. This program will provide a regular schedule for condition assessments

and a protocol for intermediate repair to older roofs to mitigate roof leaks until replacement of

the membrane can be funded and scheduled.

I Operations Goal # 3 - Upgrade building control system and train staff on system. Much of the current system

is an old DOS based system. Components and support are no longer available. A new Direct

Digital Control system (DDC) for all campus buildings is needed.




Plan 2020 Goal


I Operations Extensive Training for at least 2 of our staff on the new NIAGARA AX System in the programming

of the system so that they understand it thoroughly. The Niagara AX is the new front end

platform for our Building Management System. This system controls all the HVAC and mechanical

systems throughout campus. It enables us to be able to see what is going on in the systems and

be able to adjust different points to maximize utility efficiency and electrical use for cooling,

heating, ventilating, and lighting of the buildings. This system will allow us to maximize savings by

turning back temperatures and lighting levels during building unoccupied times. It should also

help to provide more consistent environmental conditions within the buildings during occupied

hours. The system will be tied to cell phones to notify personnel of critical alarms within the

system so that they can respond at critical times of need.

I Operations Retrofit lighting to LED in several targeted areas that are high maintenance and dangerous to

access in a safe manner.

I Operations Create and Develop Building Services Training materials. This will include the following items: 1)

Cleaning Instructional Manual 2)Task and Frequency Manual 3) Updated Task Assignment List.

Follow-up with training for all B.S. Staff.

I Physical Plant Create grade separation for pedestrians crossing Broyles to and from Student Housing

I Physical Plant Continue to submit documentation and follow up on the process to secure funding from the State

legislative session to be able to make substantial improvements to the capital assets of the IPFW

campus in an ongoing goal. The request for $26.7M from the 2015-17 session for repair and

rehabilitation did not result in funding. The next opportunity to submit a request for this funding

will come in the 2017-19 session. There are multiple steps in the process to have this request

included in the Purdue Ten Year Capital Request.

I Physical Plant Transfer the cost of maintaining community oriented Soccer Fields 6-19 to a non-University entity

to eliminate as much of current expense ($90K) in the Physical Plant budget as possible.

I Physical Plant This goal is to integrate the diverse software systems and processes into a minimal suite of user

interfaces in order to streamline and maximize efficiency for the operation of the Physical Plant.

This goal shall include an operations center for monitoring and control of computerized Building

Automation Systems (BAS) and shall have a partial component of campus security. Further, the

systematic conversion of analog information sources for campus buildings into a current Building

Information System shall allow the use of space management, move management, and building

systems to work with the BAS.

I Physical Plant Further develop the marketing efforts for the Ginsberg Warehouse operation to optimize the

value obtained for university surplus equipment / furniture to include a newly created website

that will be dedicated to assisting departments with surplus university property and how to

handle the proper disposal of surplus property according to university policy, the details of

university property disposal streams, a Facebook page for the IPFW Surplus Store that will help

notify the community of surplus items that are currently available for sale, and ultimately

advertising in local newspapers to encourage the community to “shop” the IPFW Surplus Store

during our regular hours on Mondays 8AM to 4PM.

I Political Science 90% of POLS courses will include at least one characteristic of a liberal arts education (three year

rolling average)which can be accomplished by offering at least 4 general education courses each

semester (two-semester rolling average)

I Student Success and Transition The retention/persistence rates of undecided students has been alarmingly low and the need to

address this downward trend is a concern of all members of the institution. To that end, SST in

coordination with the Academic Advising Council, will implement the Pathways program

university-wide. This program, designed to connect students to academic departments earlier and

more intentionally, will exist under the supervision of SST. In addition, SST will equip undecided

students with tools and other resources to help with choosing a major and foster a challenging

yet supportive relationship to encourage students to find a major that is the most appropriate fit

in promotion of student success.

I University Police Increased interaction between UPD employees and students, staff and faculty.

I.B.1 Education and Public Policy CEPP Goal #5: In cooperation with the College of Health and Human Services, build a health

services building signifying healthcare as a signature "program" at IPFW.IPFW is a healthcare

campus, but has never branded itself as one. We have programs in nursing, dental, radiography,

communication science and disorders (speech and audiology), counseling, marriage and family

therapy, music therapy, healthcare administration, and the IU medical school. Presently, our

training clinics are spread across campus in a disjointed manner, limiting both branding and

community access.A combined facility could facilitate medical recordkeeping, receptionist and

clerical duties, as well as shared classroom and research space. The facility could potentially be

operated in conjunction with a major healthcare system.The goal is not to replicate the medical

research capacity of IUPUI, but to create a vision of campus with excellence in training healthcare

providers. Therefore, the goal is not simply in providing community service, but to attract top

students into our healthcare programs and to provide them with facilities in which they can be

proud to learn and work, rather than apologetic to the clients they serve.

I.B.1 Freshman Engineering Improve formal training in Engineering Education of faculty who teach and develop curriculum in

Plan 2020 Goal


I.B.4 Education and Public Policy CEPP Goal #1: Maintain or increase program enrollments.Due to changes in K-12 licensure and

the negative effects on the field of teaching, enrollments in teacher education programs are

down across the nation and are especially high in Indiana. Due to implementing retention

projects, the teacher education program has maintained enrollment for the past three semesters.

Maintaining our enrollment will be a significant challenge in the present environment. Counselor

Education enrollment is capped due to capacity issues and rejects approximately 50% of its

applicants. Other programs in the college, such as Healthcare Administration are growth areas

which need targeted intervention.

I.B.4 Education and Public Policy CEPP Goal #3: Provide strong support for new faculty in teaching, research, and service.Starting in

the fall of 2015, nearly one-third of the faculty in the college will be in their first or second year at

IPFW. The CEPP must create effective systems for supporting and mentoring these new faculty to

promote high-quality teaching and research. In particular, the CEPP will place an emphasis on

teaching skills for educating IPFW students (e.g., first generation, large variance in academic

preparation/ability, high external commitments to work and family).

I.B.4 Educational Studies Goal 1: Evaluate recruitment and retention practices to determine which are most effective in

continuing the pattern of increased student enrollment in department programs.Justification:

Enrollments have stabilized over the past three semesters. However, we need to better

understand (based on data) which practices are most effective in recruiting and retaining

students in our programs.

I.B.4 English and Linguistics Enhance student advisement by instituting a program of “intrusive” advising during fall 2016

I.B.4 Psychology Develop a reliable and valid measure to assess critical thinking in psychology; although developing

critical thinking skills is a goal of our program, we have not previously incorporated a critical

thinking measure in our assessment plan.




Plan 2020 Goal


I.B.4 Psychology Pilot an expansion of the department's New Student Orientation (NSO), into a semester-long

program in the fall led by our NSO assistants (advanced majors) from the previous summer to

help integrate new freshmen into the department and university.

I.B.4 Student Success and Transition Continue to build upon, strengthen and provide formal avenues for intense and intrusive peer

mentoring and coaching for all students through the Don2Don Student Success Coaching

program.

I.B.4 Student Success and Transition SST will re-work the current probation program, offering students an individualized probation

experience that focuses on the flexibility students need. The individualized probation program

will include an initial meeting with an advisor/coach in SST (via distance if needed) and the

building of a success plan based during that appointment. Some success plan options would

include tutoring, career counseling, study skills workshops, time management activities,

internship experiences, and goal setting sessions. A limited online component would precede the

initial appointment to gather data from students on what they believe led to their probation

status. Follow-up timeline and appointments will be created during the appointment.

I.B.4 Student Success and Transition Using institutional data to identify untreated groups of students, SST, in partnership with Dr.

Drummond, have identified a group most at-risk of not persisting at IPFW. Therefore, SST will

deliver an on-time treatment consisting of: targeted wrap-around communication; a brick-and-

mortar, 1 credit IDIS course; mid-term grade collection/intervention; and intrusive coaching to

this population of students in order to equip them with the necessary skill set to navigate the

second to third semester rapid decline in retention.

I.E Student Success and Transition The retention/persistence rates of undecided students has been alarmingly low and the need to

address this downward trend is a concern of all members of the institution. To that end, SST in

coordination with the Academic Advising Council, will implement the Pathways program

university-wide. This program, designed to connect students to academic departments earlier and

more intentionally, will exist under the supervision of SST. In addition, SST will equip undecided

students with tools and other resources to help with choosing a major and foster a challenging

yet supportive relationship to encourage students to find a major that is the most appropriate fit

in promotion of student success.

Plan 2020 Goal


I.E.1 Political Science Four "publications" per year with current staff levels* (three-year rolling average) because

research informs teaching and teaching informs research including work with students*Since

books represent a more substantial investment in time and effort and constitute a more

significant accomplishment, a book would count as three in this simple counting scheme as is

frequently done in P&T documents where a book or three articles (or chapters) are considered

equivalent. Also, if two department members co-author an article, chapter, or book, each author

will be given credit for a publication towards the total. Co-authors within the department will be

treated in the same fashion as co-authors from other departments or schools. Also included as

relevant research would be presentations that involve students. See department promotion

tenure and promotion document for definitions of accepted publication types.

new reporting structure brings closer ties to the IPFW Community Research institute with a co-

location of the directors’ offices in downtown Fort Wayne. Relocation of project manager office

to ET building from Kettler hall as significant potential exists to expand engagement within ETCS,

and having the office in that building should lead to additional faculty engagement.

Plan 2020 Goal


I.M.1 Arts and Sciences To establish an assistant/associate dean (AD) for student affairs (or student success). .5

administrative load, no summer teaching expectation (100% administrative in summer).This AD

would be selected from among the tenured faculty, and would have a history of strong teaching,

advising, and/or involvement in high impact pedagogical practices. This AD would be in addition

to the current AD position, which focuses on faculty development and program review.The most

important part of the AD's role would be to increase the number of high impact practices in the

college, either at the course or the department level (see the AAC&U LEAP website:

www.aacu.org/leap/hips), especially those that impact retention and preparation for

employment or graduate education (or, overall, career readiness). In particular, this would

include undergraduate research, diversity and global learning experiences, service learning and

community-based learning, and internships. To a lesser extent, it could also include freshman

seminars, collaborative assignments/projects, writing intensive courses and capstone courses,

and any of the other high impact practices not previously mentioned.In addition to the

development of high-impact practices identified by LEAP's research, other initiatives that support

career-readiness (as do internships and service learning) will be part of this goal. One example

includes developing a base of community mentors or partnerships to connect students to possible

employment.Some funding would be needed to support course development grants or

curriculum development grants (at the department level) to assist faculty and departments to

increase the use of these practices.The AD would also be responsible for overseeing the

assessment, advising, graduation certification, curriculum, and bulletin review functions of the

college. He or she would be authorized to grant exceptions to degree requirements, to sign

graduation audits, to sit on the Student Affairs and Curriculum Committees. The college advisors

would report to this AD.

projects, the teacher education program has maintained enrollment for the past three semesters.

Maintaining our enrollment will be a significant challenge in the present environment. Counselor

Education enrollment is capped due to capacity issues and rejects approximately 50% of its

applicants. Other programs in the college, such as Healthcare Administration are growth areas

Plan 2020 Goal


II.C Office of Engagement The Lilly Endowment awarded funds to the Purdue University System as part of the Round III

initiative to promote opportunities through education collaboration. The Purdue award was

designed to specifically develop programs that will transform Indiana into a magnet for high-

technology jobs. The goal of these funds is to “accelerate Indiana’s capacity for attracting and

expanding high-technology job opportunities among new ventures as well as second-stage and

larger employers.” IPFW, in fulfilling its mission to educate the citizens and enhance the quality

of life in the northeast Indiana region, has a vision to build upon two of the three main thrusts of

the Purdue Lilly Endowment project, through the development of a web portal that enhances the

connectivity between the campus, students and the community. IPFW can leverage the funds

from the Lilly Endowment to enhance its outreach to the regional business community, to

promote collaborations facilitating the growth of high-skill and high-wage jobs, while better

connecting our students to opportunities that are created as a result. The Office of Engagement

was selected by the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs to lead the initiative to brand the IPFW

outreach efforts, which includes the development of a web portal designed to improve our

outcomes in these areas. By have a single access point for many of our business outreach

activities, the business can be directed to the web page and contact information of the correct

resource quickly. A key point for this effort is that for both the employer and the student, the

portal will be based upon functionality rather than campus offices to increase the user-

friendliness of the system.

our professional service and community engagement and service efforts. Rationale: Professional

service and community engagement are key aspects of our work as a department. Both were

listed as goals in year one, but without ways to effectively evaluate them. So, our goal for this

year is to develop a way to measure professional service and community engagement and then to

establish a baseline that we can use to evaluate our efforts in future years.

IV Physical Plant Create grade separation for pedestrians crossing Broyles to and from Student Housing

IV Physical Plant Continue to submit documentation and follow up on the process to secure funding from the State

legislative session to be able to make substantial improvements to the capital assets of the IPFW

campus in an ongoing goal. The request for $26.7M from the 2015-17 session for repair and

rehabilitation did not result in funding. The next opportunity to submit a request for this funding

will come in the 2017-19 session. There are multiple steps in the process to have this request

included in the Purdue Ten Year Capital Request.

IV Physical Plant Transfer the cost of maintaining community oriented Soccer Fields 6-19 to a non-University entity

to eliminate as much of current expense ($90K) in the Physical Plant budget as possible.

IV Physical Plant Now that the utility cost for Student Housing has been combine with the utility cost of all other

campus facilities, a recurring budget needs to be established including a contingency reserve

account that can be used to make physical improvements and repairs in the utility infrastructure

system. Once sufficient fund are dedicated for this unavoidable expense, efforts will be made to

reduce utility consumption by 2% per year to compensate for the estimated annual inflation

factor for the next five years. This should stabilize the energy cost for campus for the foreseeable

future.

IV Physical Plant Address $10 minimum wage and resulting compression for hourly paid nonexempt staff and to

consider the anticipated FLSA costs to address the need to meet minimum pay levels for exempt

staff

value obtained for university surplus equipment / furniture to include a newly created website

that will be dedicated to assisting departments with surplus university property and how to

handle the proper disposal of surplus property according to university policy, the details of

university property disposal streams, a Facebook page for the IPFW Surplus Store that will help

notify the community of surplus items that are currently available for sale, and ultimately
