Rapid Rise in Research Revenue ($’s in 000’s)
What Are We?Conclusions
• We have grown rapidly – students, staff, space, budget -- and we continue to grow.
• Our challenges now are ones of managing growth.
• The management of growth requires choices that lead to strategic and selective growth and improved quality.
Do we have enough quality already?
“…do we not have enough quality already?…our lives would be… less complicated and… less demanding if we could accept this point of view.
…Excellence is not a quality we can preserve by…keeping things in place. It requires constant adaptation to changing realities, so that we can stay in the forefront of new ways of teaching, new fields of knowledge, new discoveries and insights, and new developments in the larger world. To stand still in the hope of preserving excellence is ultimately to stand by and watch it dissolve.”
Neil Rudenstine President, Harvard University
Where Are We Going?• Identifies core principles and
academic priorities to guide preferential development and investment.
• Builds upon past planning activities.
• Provides organizational framework to align communication, government relations and fundraising efforts.
• Approved by GFC in April 2002.
“Raising Our Sights”: Core Principles• Our paramount criterion for selective
allocation of resources is quality.• Meet the needs of learners. “The programs and
experiences we offer must be appropriate to the needs, aspirations and futures of our students and our society.”
• A research university. “The University is committed to the principles of research, discovery and creativity in all its forms.”
• Multidisciplinary inquiry. “Many of the major issues facing our society require multidisciplinary inquiry to be properly understood.”
• Return to the community. “As a public university, we welcome our service role as we attempt to respond to society’s needs.”

The Process of Change
• Our limitation is one of implementation (execution), not vision.
• “The most creative, visionary strategic planning is useless if it isn’t translated into action. Think simplicity, clarity, focus – and review your progress relentlessly” (Harvard Management Update, 2003)
• Respect the collegial governance of universities.
Implementation –Access
• Alberta ranks 8th among all provinces in university degrees granted on a per population basis.
• The accessibility problem is most acute in Calgary and Southern Alberta.
• The accessibility solution requires:– Postsecondary institutions working
together.– Increased investment in postsecondary
institutions to increase capacity.

Putting Students First
“…The University’s improvement must entail putting the students and their needs first. Once that is done, the rest falls into place…Putting students first is a simple design principle but it has great power.”
