WELCOME TO MADISON

On behalf of the board of directors, I would like to welcome you to ACUPA’s tenth annual conference in the beautiful city of Madison! If you have attended our conferences in the past, you already know that our presentations, speakers, sponsors, and activities work together to help attendees network, learn, and get more involved with the association. If this is your first conference, you will experience this connectivity firsthand over the next three days. It is my sincere hope that you will engage with colleagues and take advantage of the expertise each of these incredible individuals brings to the field of policy administration. As author and thought-leader Ken Blanchard once said, “none of us is as smart as all of us.”

Throughout the conference, ACUPA board members and members of the Events Planning Committee will be available to answer questions, and ensure you feel welcome and included. If there is anything you need, please let us know!

THINGS TO DO

Hit the Inner Harbor

This waterfront oasis in the heart of Baltimore is home to amazing attractions like the Maryland Science Center, National Aquarium, and American Vision Arts Museum. Lined with fantastic restaurants (seafood, of course, is the specialty!) and eclectic shopping options in Fells Point, Canton, Harbor East, and Harborplace that range from quirky to chic, the harbor is also super easy to get around.

Walk, bike, or even rent a scooter and cruise the 7-mile brick promenade from end to end, or hop on a water taxi or Harbor Cruise and explore from off-shore!

George Peabody Library The George Peabody Library is widely recognized as one of the most beautiful library spaces in the world, but it is also an essential space for teaching and research. Formerly the Library of the Peabody Institute of the City of Baltimore, the library’s collection dates from the founding of the Peabody Institute in 1857.

Explore African-American Heritage and Culture At the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History & Culture, tour 400 years of art and culture and better understand the remarkable contributions of Maryland’s African-American community. Meet inspiring legends at the waterfront Frederick DouglassIsaac Myers Maritime Park. And be blown away by history seeming to come to life at the National Great Blacks in Wax Museum.

Picnic at Fort McHenry, Home of the Star-Spangled Banner Now a national monument and historic shrine, Fort McHenry repelled the British during the War of 1812, saving the city and inspiring Francis Scott Key to write the United States National Anthem. Get in touch with history and see the Baltimore skyline from the fort’s sprawling waterfront lawns.

Something for Every Art Lover in Three Amazing Museums In Baltimore, art is everywhere, but these three unique museums take things to another level.

The famous Walters Art Museum dives deep into art and artifacts from ancient Egypt and beyond. The Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) may be known for its collection of works by the old masters, including Rodin’s “The Thinker” and the largest Matisse collection in the world, but the BMA’s new spirit of inclusion means you’ll find works from across the globe and up to the minute on display.

And, of course, the unique American Visionary Art Museum (AVAM) is the national home for outsider art that must be seen to be believed.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Michael Fosberg

Monday, May 1, 2023 Incognito Incognito is an award-winning one-man play delivered as a keynote presentation by actor/writer Michael Fosberg.

During the course of 50 minutes, Fosberg portrays over a dozen different characters as he performs the true story of the search for his biological father and ultimate discovery of his true identity.

Chicago native Michael Fosberg has spoken at nearly a thousand high schools, colleges, government agencies, corporations, law firms and not-for-profits over the past fifteen years, utilizing his award-winning autobiographical story, told in the form of a one-man play, as an entry point for meaningful dialogues on race and identity. His work with groups such as The Boeing Company, United Way Worldwide, PNC Financial Services, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is reshaping the way organizations talk about leadership, authenticity, and inclusion.

Fosberg has been a frequent guest in the media speaking on these issues, and his latest book, Nobody Wants to Talk About It: Race, Identity and the Difficulties in Forging Meaningful Conversations, offers readers seven important tools to engage in authentic dialogue. In 2011, he published his muchlauded memoir, Incognito: An American Odyssey of Race and Self-Discovery. He also launched a series of unique virtual e-learning programs using his play as the entry point for

Eric Kelderman Tuesday, May 2, 2023 The Political Campus: How Partisan Politics and Flagging Public Perception are Challenging Higher Education In 2016, polling from the Pew Research Center and others showed that for the first time a majority of those who identified as Republican or conservative had negative views about the value of higher education. Since then, the sector has been dragged onto the front lines of the culture wars. Politicians on the right are passing laws to restrict what is taught on many campuses; politicians on the left are pushing for greater accountability for poor student outcomes.

Campus administrators find themselves under siege from multiple constituencies -including alumni, faculty, staff and students that are often at odds with one another, demanding actions and policies that comport with their specific interests. All of this is happening as colleges in some parts of the country deal with falling enrollments and steep financial strains. What are the major policy questions facing higher education in this era of political and fiscal turmoil?

Eric Kelderman has been a reporter at The Chronicle since 2008, covering a wide range of subjects, including money and accountability in higher education, state

SESSION DESCRIPTIONS

Navigating a Decentralized Policy Environment

Allyson Hicks, University of Utah Trina Rich, University of Utah This session describes why establishing trust between campus units and your policy office is the foundation of an effective policy program in a decentralized institution and provides concrete ways to building that trust.

Specifically, this session will cover: (1) the role of a style guide in improving consistency in policies and establishing credibility for policy program and the role of a policy administrator; (2) how to work effectively with faculty in a shared governance environment; and (3) concrete steps to build strong relationships with individuals across an institution.

Modernizing Policy Administration Beth Murphy, CFM Partners Jill Reyes, RSMUS Monique Everroad, Clemson University In today’s environment, policy administrators are challenged to address the increased importance and role of governance, risk, and compliance on the policy management process, while operating with limited resources. This panel explores the benefits of modernizing policy administration from centralizing and streamlining the policy management process to adopting and migrating to cloud-based solutions. Hear the perspectives of a consulting firm working with institutions to keep up with the changing regulatory landscape, a technology company on the benefits of cloud-based solutions, and a practitioner actively engaged in modernizing her university’s policy management process. Panelists will discuss successes, challenges, and best practices in modernizing policy administration.

Incognito Workshop

Michael Fosberg Audience members will be guided in a meaningful dialogue about race, identity and stereotypes covered in the play. Using the principles of Intergroup Contact Theory – the sharing of personal stories across majority and minority populations that allow for breaking down prejudices between people by discovering we have a lot more in common than different – the play and dialogue open pathways for deep and meaningful dialogue.

Breakout Discussions Facilitated by ACUPA Board/EPC Members Conference attendees will have the opportunity to connect, brainstorm, and generate solutions with colleagues who face similar policy issues. Breakout groups include: issues facing private institutions, public institutions working within a system, public institutions with a focus on federal regulations and university policies, and topic specific areas.

Policies and Resources on Social Media and Academic Freedom Archana Sridhar, University of Toronto The need for more sophisticated resources to help administrators protect and advance academic freedom and free speech on university campuses is clear, especially in situations involving diversity, equity, and inclusion. Such issues are incredibly timeconsuming for policy administrators and would benefit from better community understanding and discussion in advance of flare-ups. In light of increasing government scrutiny, this session will speak to the keen interest in public debate and discussion about free speech on university campuses – and support administrators on the job.

SESSION DESCRIPTIONS

You Are a Policy Administrator.

So, What Does That Mean?

Policy Prioritization: What's Important When Everything's Important?

Ermelinda Quintela, New Mexico State University Jen Rogers, University of North Dakota Policy administrator positions are spread throughout the administrative/academic offices of a university, with added roles and responsibilities in most cases. But the effectiveness of policy administration is dependent on a variety of things: support and backing by leadership, accurately defined roles and responsibilities, tie to the mission and strategic goals, and coordination and intersection with other areas (academics, ERM, legal, Lean, etc.), among others. This presentation and roundtable discussion will feature ideas and opportunities that can positively move the policy administrator profession toward gaining greater visibility for the position and enhancing policy effectiveness across the university community.

Monique Everroad, Clemson University Matthew Teal, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Competing priorities from stakeholders can make it challenging to implement a systematic policy review process. Who and what gets priority? In this workshop, attendees will hear how two different policy programs tackled the monumental stack of policies at their respective institutions. Attendees will learn how to identify the resources they need to develop a policy prioritization plan, how to obtain buy-in from policy stakeholders, how to overcome potential obstacles, and how to create a customizable tool that can be used for years to come as their institution’s policy program grows and changes.

Building a Process for Periodic Review from the Ground Up Katheryn Yetter, Oregon State University University policy manuals are living documents and as such, should be reviewed periodically to ensure that policies reflect operational efficiencies, best practices, effective and ethical decision making, and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. If you have questions such as "how often," "who decides," and "what process," you're in good company. Explore these questions and others during this interactive session.

Policy Potpourri Facilitated by ACUPA Board/EPC Members This session is designed to allow a free-form exchange of questions and answers from conference participants. Individuals will have an opportunity to share best practices and learn from colleagues. This session will also provide a chance for attendees to ask questions that they may still have after attending the other policy sessions.
