engaging external company 160 over 90 and University Communications, and by capitalizing on the establishment of the Leadership Institute and M-learning Center
• SEAS Corporate Advancement Team - finalize and implement corporate advancement strategy
• University Scholars incentive - develop a program aimed at attracting more high-achieving students
Oxford recruitment Three-year goal
Goal 2012/13 2015/16
Increase the number of applications 2,486 2,650
Increase the academic profile of student body by lowering the admission rate
1,817 (73%) 1,650 (62%)
Increase the yield rate – sustain the number of first year students
398 (22%) 398 (24%)
Regional campuses
• sustain and even enhance collaboration between Oxford and regional departments before their transfer to the new division
session at 1:00pm
Context: MU Board of Trustees Resolution, April 27, 2012 • creation of a new division the regional campuses• formation of an implementation committee that
will……coordinate with the University Senate in transferring existing programs and departments located in the regional campuses to the new division
Budgetary challenges and opportunities
School of Engineering and Applied Science
Budgetary matters
• Execute permanent cut of SEAS FY ‘14 budget to the tune of $283,000
• Prepare for implementation of responsibility-center management financial model in FY ‘14
• New revenue opportunities: finalize SEAS revenue enhancing initiatives planning and start implementation phase in the summer of 2013 and, particularly, during the winter session in 2014 (more on one such initiative at 10:25am)
• Seek Board of Trustees’ approval for the implementation of SEAS fee

SEAS fee proposal
• $300 per semester fee for all School of Engineering and Applied Science undergraduate students beginning in the fall 2013 semester
• The implementation of the SEAS fee will generate, in its steady state, approximately $800,000 per year ($600 per academic year x 1325 SEAS students).
SEAS fee proposal• The fee is vital in allowing SEAS to hire new faculty
members and to maintain and continuously modernize aging computer and laboratory facilities.
• Preliminary plans for allocation of SES fee revenues
