SOUTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY EDWARDSVILLE

INTRODUCTION SIUE has a long history of planning, although it had not previously adopted a formal strategic plan until 2001. At that time, SIUE joined the Academic Quality Improvement Project (AQIP) of the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association. One of SIUE’s four AQIP action projects was to develop a comprehensive strategic plan.

The initial strategic plan was approved in 2002. Since then, SIUE moved into the Open Pathway option through the Higher Learning Commission. In 2013, faculty, staff, students, administrators, alumni, and Foundation Board members worked together to review and revise SIUE’s statements on values, vision, mission, diversity, and its long-term goals. Additionally, the group worked to articulate key performance indicators, 5-year targets, and short-term goals. These revised statements were shared with the larger community through open hearings. The SIU Board of Trustees approved revised mission statements for SIUE at its September 2013 meetings. This current strategic plan is part of a process that aligns budget and university planning. The University Quality Council

works with the University Planning and Budget Council to oversee the implementation of the plan.

SIUE operates in the larger context of higher education in Illinois as reflected by the policies and priorities of the Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE). Likewise, SIUE operates within the context of SIU and the policies, priorities, and goals established by the Office of the President and the Board of Trustees. This document combines components from the IBHE, SIU, and SIUE to provide the context for a strategic plan for SIUE. An SIUE strategic plan, like any other, is reexamined and modified periodically. Accordingly, this plan includes a timetable for periodic review.

The plan assumes steady enrollment, that there will be no new state resources available over time, and that there will be no radical mission shift.

2016-2017 STRATEGIC PLAN

THE PLANNING CONTEXT SIU: A Synopsis Southern Illinois University is a multi-campus university comprising two institutions, Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC), with a School of Medicine at Springfield, and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE), with a School of Dental Medicine at Alton and a Higher Education Center in East St. Louis, which includes a Head Start Program and a Charter High School.

The University, with an annual operating budget of $895 million in FY15, enrolls more than 31,000 students in programs from two-year technical curricula to the Ph.D. and professional programs in a variety of fields including law, medicine, and dental medicine. SIU was chartered in 1869 as Southern Illinois Normal University, a teachers college. In 1947, the name was changed to Southern Illinois University, reflecting the institution’s academic expansion.

The University also expanded geographically. In 1949, SIU began offering off-campus academic courses in the metropolitan East St. Louis area, which led to the eventual development of a separate institution in Edwardsville.

A modern and comprehensive post-secondary educational institution, Southern Illinois University offers a broad range of academic programs that lead to Associate, Baccalaureate, Master’s, Specialist’s, Doctoral, and Professional degrees. The instructional, research, and service missions of the two constituent institutions reflect the needs of the geographic areas in which they are located. The University also is committed to serving statewide needs. This commitment is reflected in educational activities located off the main campuses in communities throughout the state, online programming, and the work of our alumni. It is realized also through research and training exchanges and through world-wide student exchange programs.

A nine-member Board of Trustees governs Southern Illinois University and sets policy that enables the University to carry out established missions and goals.

The President of Southern Illinois University is its chief executive officer and reports to the Board of Trustees. The University Chancellors report to the President and are responsible for the internal operations of SIUE and SIUC. l 2

SOUTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY EDWARDSVILLE

SIUE: A Synopsis Southern Illinois University Edwardsville traces its origin to a recommendation in 1956 by the Southwest Illinois Council for Higher Education. The Council was convinced that higher education facilities were needed in the Metro-East portion of the greater St. Louis area. Council members hired consultants, whose reports documented that need, and appealed to Southern Illinois University, 100 miles south, to establish satellite campuses.

In 1957, SIU opened residence centers in Alton and East St. Louis.

The University expected to enroll 800 students, but actual enrollment reached 1,776. By 1959, the number of students had more than doubled to 3,800, greatly exceeding the physical facilities and demanding services faster than the University could develop and supply them.

A planning team investigated sites in the Metro-East counties and selected 3 l

one just south of Edwardsville.

In 1960, the Illinois legislature authorized a bond issue for construction of a new state university campus. Voter approval came in November 1960. After 2-1/2 years of planning, University officials and area residents attended groundbreaking ceremonies for the first permanent buildings.

In the fall of 1965, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville moved onto its new campus: 2,660 acres of rolling land and woods dotted with lakes. Much of the land still retains its natural shape. The academic center was designed by the internationally known architectural firm of Hellmuth, Obata, and Kassabaum of St. Louis. The brick, slate, and granite of the modern buildings complement the terrain and are softened by a carefully designed garden landscape that attracts visitors by virtue of

its physical beauty. The campus has received several awards in recognition of the successful blend of the aesthetic and the functional in a setting that enhances growth and development and is now featured among the top 150 Illinois Great Places by the American Institute of Architects Illinois Council.

Today, SIUE is a major public university, offering a broad choice of degrees and programs ranging from career-oriented fields of study to the essential, more traditional, liberal arts.

Here students have an opportunity to interact with outstanding teachers and scholars, as well as with other students from all parts of the United States and the world. They enjoy the excellent facilities of a young and growing campus, including extensive research laboratories, specialized equipment for professional preparation, and comfortable, spacious classrooms. In addition, academic

2016-2017 STRATEGIC PLAN

services provide tutoring, testing, academic and career counseling, and other services designed to help students meet the demands of university life. At SIUE, students find comprehensive educational opportunities and a community in which individuals support each other in their search for knowledge and individual development.

In FY17, for the 13th-consecutive year, U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges lists SIUE among the top 15 public universities in the best Regional Master’s Universities Midwest. For the seventh-consecutive year, Washington Monthly ranks SIUE among the top 60 master’s universities in the nation for “contributions to the public good in… social mobility, research, and service.” Additionally, SIUE has been named for the sixth-consecutive year to the annual President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. The University’s commitment to

excellence and service continues to be recognized by leading authorities within higher education.

While attending the University, students may choose to live on campus for convenience and flexibility; this convenience extends to academic scheduling, which is designed to accommodate individual student needs through weekday, evening, weekend and online classes.

In every format, SIUE students are assured quality instruction.

At SIUE, education is more than classroom learning. Campus activities present students with an everchanging spectrum of cultural, social, service, and recreational experiences designed to complement the academic program. Theater and dance productions, musical presentations, art exhibits, renowned speakers and artists, and the fine swimming, biking, hiking and other recreation

offered by the University’s 2,660 acres of rolling, wooded hills make SIUE an exciting place. In addition, the campus offers access to the resources of the metropolitan St. Louis area, located just 25 minutes away.

At SIUE, approximately 900 fulltime and part-time faculty members engage in instruction, scholarship, and public service. Though each of these activities enhances students’ academic opportunities, it is through instruction that students benefit most directly. Eighty percent of the full-time faculty possesses terminal degrees. SIUE’s faculty, staff, and research centers continue to excel in the area of research grants and scholarship. In FY16, SIUE faculty and staff submitted 162 new proposals to outside agencies and received more than $45 million in new externally sponsored research and public service awards.

2016-2017 STRATEGIC PLAN

Overview of the Process and Annual Update to the Strategic Plan As part of SIUE’s new integrated planning process, SIUE will update the University’s strategic plan each year.

The new process connects the work of the University Quality Council (UQC) and their oversight of quality assurance and improvement with the planning and budgeting work of the University Planning and Budget Council (UPBC). Moreover, the new reporting and review process is intended to enhance alignment of unit and division plans with the University’s long-term goals.

During the 2016-2017 academic year, the UQC with representation from UPBC reviewed SIUE’s progress on the Key Performance Indicators and movement toward 2018 targets. The group also discussed the annual action reports and plans submitted from all major stakeholders. The members reviewed the University’s accomplishments on all short-term goals, and evaluated the short-term priorities recommended by action plan holders for the 2016-2017 year. The UQC noted that for many key performance indicators, SIUE is on pace to meet the 2018 targets. In other instances, the members called for greater progress.

n

Although many of the short-term goals from 2013-2014 will carry forward until they are completed, there are a number of new short-term initiatives that have been developed to increase progress toward the 2018 targets. After substantial review and feedback, the members selected a new set of short-term goals to include in the updated Strategic Plan. These new short-term goals will complement SIUE’s existing activities and advance our mission. Additions to the short-term goals include:

n

n

n

Increase utilization rates of academic resources especially for students to align with TRIO standards and institutional data.

FY17 PROGRESS TOWARD THE LONG-TERM GOALS Prepared and Committed Students In addition to maintaining healthy enrollment, SIUE made progress towards several key performance indicators relating to this long-term goal. Southern Illinois University Edwardsville’s Fall 2016 semester was the third largest in University history with 14,142 students. The freshman class was the 8th largest with 1,935 students and a mean ACT of 23.4. More than 1,400 students transferred to SIUE in Fall 2016, the 2nd highest number of new transfer students in SIUE history. Graduate enrollment exceeded 1,800 students. SIUE’s student body reflects the diversity and inclusive excellence that are integral to our University’s goals.

Several academic programs have shown growth in recent years: Undergraduate Enrollment Growth Areas n Business Administration n Criminal Justice n Nursing n Psychology n Speech Language Pathology & Audiology Graduate Enrollment Growth Areas n College Student Personnel Administration n Healthcare Informatics n Integrative Studies SIUE’s retention rate of current first-to-second year students remained strong at 72.3% this year. Meanwhile, the current six-year graduation rate (2010 cohort) is 47%.

Improving retention and graduation rates remains a fundamental emphasis for the University and a priority for the state of Illinois.

7 l

Innovative High Quality Programs SIUE is developing and modifying academic programs to better meet the needs of prospective students and the region’s employers. SIUE approved two new programs this year: a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing and a PostBaccalaureate Certificate in Integrative Studies.

SIUE also continues to develop new fully online programs to meet the needs of new student populations, particularly adult learners and students who wish to complete their degrees. For example, the accelerated RN to BS is a fully online program developed to support degree achievement.

The School of Nursing was selected to exclusively offer the accelerated online nursing degree program to Baptist Health, Kentucky, and SSM Health nurses. Additionally, online course offerings and student enrollment in all terms in 2016-2017 exceeded the 2018 targets.

Dedicated Faculty and Staff SIUE faculty and staff are active researchers and public servants. We have work to do to meet the 2018 targets in grant submissions, awards, and monetary value of awards.

Short-term goals have been developed to help us move further toward this goal.

SIUE maintained the general diversity among the faculty and staff. Supporting diversity and inclusion is an ongoing priority. To this end, SIUE is implementing a strategic faculty hiring initiative.

2016-2017 STRATEGIC PLAN

Supportive Campus Community Southern Illinois University Edwardsville received the Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) award from INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine for the third year in a row. The HEED Award is a national honor recognizing U.S. colleges and universities for their outstanding commitment and work to support diversity and inclusion throughout campus.

SIUE was named to the honor roll of the LGBT Campus Climate Index and our overall institutional campus climate score is 4 out of 5 stars.

Approximately one-quarter of SIUE’s increasingly diverse campus is comprised of underrepresented races and international students. A significant element is growing international enrollment. International student enrollment reached 392 students in Fall 2016. A diverse student body enriches the learning environment and vibrancy of SIUE. One aspect of SIUE’s internationalization efforts is also focused on enhancing SIUE students’ opportunities to study abroad. Although this number is down for this cycle, Academic Affairs is committed to increasing study abroad opportunities and participation. Preparation for global citizenship is a key educational outcome for SIUE students.

Outreach and Partnerships Washington Monthly ranked SIUE among the top 60 master’s universities in the nation and No. 3 among all public institutions in Illinois again in 2015. This ranking is based on an institution’s “contribution to the public good” in three broad categories: social mobility, research, and service. SIUE continued to invest in developing corporate partnerships. The number of students enrolled at SIUE through corporate partnerships increased in 2015-2016 and is likely to continue to grow.

Physical and Financial Sustainability SIUE, like other state institutions, has experienced reductions to its state appropriation. These sustained reductions suggest that SIUE must continue to find efficiencies and increase enrollment in order to maintain our excellence. While these cuts pose challenges, the SIUE community has demonstrated an ongoing commitment to excellence and student learning.

Challenges Although there is reason to celebrate, opportunities for continued improvement exist. Areas for concentration include the following: n

9 l

Raising the retention and graduation rates remains a priority. Although SIUE’s retention or persistence rate improved, there is much work to be done to improve the 4-year and 6-year graduation rates for first-time, full-time freshmen and transfer students. SIUE is committed to improving retention and increasing student success.

SIUE will focus on growing graduate enrollment in the coming years by enhancing recruitment efforts and developing new programs.

SIUE is committed to enhancing internationalization and growing international enrollment.

SIUE strives to assure quality in all academic programming as well as be responsive to new needs to support students and faculty in their academic goals.

SIUE saw substantial increases in the number of online courses and programs, but improvement is needed to meet the 2018 targets for the number of students solely online. Although the progress is clear, this area of growth remains a significant institutional commitment and will allow the University to meet the needs of more potential students.

SIUE’s priorities for the coming year also include increasing the number of research grant awards, the total number of new awards, and the monetary value of awards.

n

Importantly, SIUE set ambitious growth targets for the endowment. This goal will require significant leadership and effort. As such, the UQC and UPBC acknowledged the importance of developing a culture of philanthropy. Likewise, SIUE seeks to enhance annual giving and grow this amount.

Looking Forward Like other public universities, SIUE is in the midst of change. Throughout the state and nation, institutions of higher education are coping with the changing landscape they now face. A smaller pool of high school graduates, increased competition, diminishing state support, a significant deficit in the state’s pension fund, increasing political pressure, and waning public trust are challenges the University must find a way to meet.

At SIUE, we are working together to position ourselves for a successful future. To do so, we start by recognizing and building on our strengths and examining how we can better accomplish what we do. Likewise, we plan to better meet the needs of the people and employers in our region and state. SIUE’s commitment to continuous quality improvement and bedrock values will allow SIUE to thrive, meet new challenges, and achieve new heights.

SIUE faculty, staff and students have made many successes possible over the past year. Collectively, the University community remains committed to meeting the shared goals of the Strategic Plan. Together, we will make progress on those commitments to meet the needs of our students, serve our region, and achieve our vision.

Please take a few moments to review the following achievements and reflect on the progress yet to be made.

DETAILED PLANNING: Achieving the Long-Term Goals

13 l

2016-2017 STRATEGIC PLAN

Measuring Progress toward Long-Term Goals An organization will only know the extent to which it is achieving its long-term goals if it has mechanisms to measure its progress. Accordingly, each long-term goal needs measures for which data can be gathered and reviewed periodically. More than one measure is typically required, because the goals of not-for-profit organizations tend to be complex and, therefore, difficult to capture with a single measure.

Assessing Progress toward Long-Term Goals Since each long-term goal has multiple measures, the organization must evaluate the data from those measures to assess current status regarding each goal and the extent to which it has made progress in achieving each goal.

Setting Short-Term Goals Long-term goals, such as those adopted by SIUE, are achieved by meeting a series of well-defined short-term goals. Accordingly, an organization must develop clear short-term goals to be used as the means to achieve the long-term goals. This plan describes the short-term goals developed by SIUE in pursuit of its long-term goals for the next several years. Plans for the immediate future are more detailed than those for more distant years.

The short-term goals included in this plan describe new activities or actions for SIUE and, accordingly, are described against a background of ongoing activities that are assumed to continue.

This plan describes primarily “university level� short-term goals. All units will have their own short-term goals to assist the University in achieving its long-term goals.

Resources to Achieve Short-Term Goals Organizations achieve their long-term goals by allocating resources to meeting short-term goals and projects linked to the long-term goals. A strategic plan that is not linked to organizational resources is, in effect, not a plan.

Accordingly, the funds needed to meet specific objectives for the next several years, and the source of those funds, are detailed in this plan. To this end, SIUE has created a process that strengthens the connection between the University Quality Council and the University Planning and Budget Council.
