Question: I like the concept of this model and the diversification standpoint. As a concept it makes sense, but I'm curious about the evidence to back it. There are no case studies or comparisons within the white paper. The shift to RCM models has been around for the past 10-12 years by universities all over. Can you provide some form of basis to demonstrate that THIS model will work as our model moving forward?

Thank you. Follow-up: Drexel University did this back in 2012.They included a sort of optional investment

With this model, when would departments find out their budget each year for planning purposes?

The optional investment allows well performing units to subsidize low performing units by choice to help them improve if they fit the mission. Is that possible with this model?

Is Ryan's question specific to Facilities operations, which are traditionally operating in the red? so subsidizing within the unit

sorry, I don't have a mic or camera on my work computer.

as a member of a program prioritization group who just finished up on the academic unit reviews - we were under the understanding non-academic unit reviews were on the docket, but I recently was told review of non-academic units was no longer on the list of tasks UI plans to perform.. can you provide an update with respect to those plans? My apologies if I missed this if it was previously addressed?

Another question: The timeline seems pretty aggressive to implement by FY22. Most of what I've seen with these from recommendations to implementations both in theory and practice take 3-4 years before they're locked in. Is there a reason to accelerate and if so, are there risks of rushing this that we should consider?

We are hearing whisperings of potentially more holdbacks from the state. Really hoping that doesn't happen, but what are your thoughts-President Green or Brian Foisy?

The look of our campus helps attract and retain students. After touring our campus, either in person or virtually, parents may feel more at ease about sending their child to a well kept institution. What funding mechanisms will be in place to address deferred building maintenance?

The budget model states on page 4 that funding for university operations will expand and contract based on enrollment, performance to increase operating efficiencies, span of control and collaboration. But on page 5, it states a portion of the funds from increased enrollment going to the university core operations will be used for UI Strategic Initiatives and Priorities. When enrollment is above the high degree of confidence number, what % of the increase will actually go to the university core operations to increase their operations to meet the student enrollment growth?

Thank you!

do grants/gifts/etc. play into this model at all?

endowments, etc.

Ryan, this is a Gen Ed model. But we are certainly considering the impact of all fund sources on the university's net position.

got it. thanks!

Ryan, appreciate your thoughtful questions. We will be forming a committee to work on the many implementation issues over the coming year. The white paper simply establishes the concepts and principles for the new model.

IS there a reference timeline for which buildings open when?

Would employees who take unpaid FML be exempt from the furloughs?

Re: furloughs - Are there any sample numbers of what that sliding scale for tier two looks like in terms of hours?

if buildings reopen June 1, will all employees be expected to return to the office at that point?

thank you!

Some are worried about taking the 24 hours after june 28th with the mass exit of retirees, is there anyway that the 24 hours could be taken before june 24th? They did note they read the memo but it may be more difficult to get that time off after all the retirees leave.

I've heard from my college even the "soft funded" people will have to do furloughs. My concern is for those of us that have zero gen ed funding (100% donation and grants), are we still going to be expected to take the furlough?

Thank you Wes!

thank you for allowing employees to spread that out over 6 months... that will ease the impact of income loss for those living paycheck to paycheck

Do we have until June 2021 to take the furlough or is it December 2020?

If the answer to Arvilla's question is yes, I have a lot of follow-up questions

I have had questions about people who are fully funded by grants, are they expected to take furlough? they wonder how that will help the big picture?

can you give us an idea when to expect individual sliding scale furlough hours?

thanks for the hard work on this paper and the model. makes sense.

Thanks for eveyone's hard work n this paper.

We should have final furlough assignments in June. We have to await faculty and staff feedback.

thanks brian.
