Investing in Wisconsin’s Future reflects the UW System’s progress on its broad strategic priorities – priorities aimed at improving Wisconsin’s competitive edge and quality of life. Investing in Wisconsin’s Future builds upon two earlier publications: Achieving Excellence, issued annually from 2001 through 2008, and its predecessor, Accountability for Achievement, published from 1993 through 1998. Accountability for Achievement was one of the first accountability reports for a university system. the current report continues its predecessors’ focus on key performance indicators and has been restructured and expanded to better reflect the breadth of the UW System’s mission. the current report is based on the UW System’s Strategic Framework, outlined by UW System president kevin p. reilly to the UW board of regents in September 2007. the strategic framework is the blueprint for the UW System’s growth agenda for Wisconsin, which is to develop the state’s human potential, create new jobs, and strengthen local communities. the strategic framework consists of seven core strategies: prepare Students, more graduates, Well-paying Jobs, Stronger communities, resources, operational excellence, and collaborations. For each of the seven core strategies, Investing in Wisconsin’s Future focuses on a few key indicators of progress toward measurable goals. the UW System’s progress on each indicator is summarized in the Status of goals and described in more detail in the body of the report. Where possible, UW System performance is put in a national and/or regional context. While it is not feasible to report on every possible area of university activity in a single report, Investing in Wisconsin’s Future is a balanced approach representing a broad diversity of stakeholder interests. as with previous UW System accountability reports, refinements will be made to each edition in order to include findings that reflect interests of the Wisconsin community. the seven core strategies and key indicators of progress will remain constant from year to year, making Investing in Wisconsin’s Future a reliable resource for learning about the progress of the UW System on its strategic priorities. vi introdUction Core Str at e g y 1 Prepare students ensure that students are prepared with the integrative learning skills, multicultural competencies, and practical knowledge needed to succeed in and contribute to a rapidly changing, increasingly global society. critical thinking goal: meet or exceed national benchmarks in fostering the development of critical thinking skills. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . study Abroad and other exchange experiences goal: increase the proportion of bachelor’s degree recipients each year who have studied abroad or participated in a similar exchange experience. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . scores on exams for Professional Practice or Advanced study goal: meet or exceed national or state benchmarks in the performance of students on post-baccalaureate examinations. . . . . 1 critical thinking goal: meet or exceed national benchmarks in fostering the development of critical thinking skills. status: mixed results. critical thinking skills include the ability to draw conclusions, analyze information, solve complex problems, clearly express original thought, and be objective. critical thinking skills are one of the most essential and fundamental outcomes of learning and the foundation of a well-rounded educational curriculum. • national comparison: at rates at or above the national average, UW System seniors reported that their college experiences contributed to their critical and analytical thinking and emphasized applying theories or concepts to solving practical problems. UW System seniors were less likely than seniors nationally to report that their college coursework emphasized analyzing the basic elements of an idea, experience, or theory. m ore to explore Working on projects outside of class gives students the opportunity to apply what they have learned in the classroom. in 2008, 56% of UW seniors participated in an internship, practicum, or field experience during college. twenty-two percent (22%) worked on a research project with a faculty member outside of course or program requirements. more information is reported as part of the voluntary System of accountability: http://collegeportraits.org/ and appendix 1.

See appendix 2 for details. • more than 3,000 of the 2007-08 class of UW bachelor’s degree recipients studied abroad or had a similar exchange experience. m ore to explore Students of color are less likely to participate in UW study abroad and exchange experiences. participation was 10.9% among students of color in the 2007-08 class of UW bachelor’s degree recipients, compared with 13.8% among all students. african americans had the lowest rate of participation, 6.4% of the 2007-08 graduating class. White students had the highest rate, 14.2%. lower income students are less likely to participate in UW study abroad and exchange experiences. participation of lower income students – defined as UW bachelor’s degree recipients in 2007-08 who received a pell grant at any time prior to graduating – was 11.7%. graduates who never received a pell grant participated at a rate of 14.8%. to provide opportunities to students with financial need, the UW System’s Study abroad grant program provided assistance to 761 UW students in 2007-08. the number of students currently studying abroad is a leading indicator of the proportion of graduates with this type of experience. in 2007-08, 4,591 students studied abroad through a UW program (appendix 3). national comparison: UW participation in study abroad exceeds the national average. in 2006-07, UW students who enrolled in any study abroad program, including non-UW programs, were 22% of undergraduate degrees in the UW System, compared to 15% at public four-year colleges and universities nationally. these estimates are based on analysis of data reported to the open doors 2008 survey: http://opendoors.iienetwork.org/ experiences with diverse groups of people and ideas are an important part of being prepared for a multicultural society. in 2008, 87% of UW seniors felt their college experience contributed to their understanding of people of other racial and ethnic backgrounds. more information is reported as part of the voluntary System of accountability: http://collegeportraits.org/ and appendix 1.

For example, in 2008, UW-extension helped eight teen courts in Wisconsin train 270 middle and high school student volunteers. volunteers hear cases of youth cited with first-time misdemeanors and determine restitution such as community service, classes relevant to the offense, or letters of apology. by involving youth peers in the justice system, teen courts reduce the likelihood of repeat offenses: http://www.uwex.edu/impacts/search/ documents/110.pdf Seniors, 2008 community service or volunteer work community-based course project or service learning project voting in local, state, or national elections UW System 78% National 73%* 17% 18% 46% 33%* *indicates that the difference between UW System and national public four-year institutions is statistically significant at the 0.05 level.

UW-extension, in partnership with state and federal agencies, disseminated the most current research on controlling this threat. Within six months, this joint effort reached more than 5,000 industry professionals as well as Wisconsin homeowners and woodland owners.

When adjusted for inflation, gpr appropriations to the UW System decreased 6% from Fy98 to Fy08. State support is also critical for capital (building) projects and ongoing facilities maintenance. in 2007-09, state funding of $142 million was approved for four new academic building proposals (UW-la crosse, UW-oshkosh, UW-parkside, and UW-Superior), which will leverage $26 million in gifts. State funding for maintenance has met less than half of the documented need since 2001. the UW System’s largest revenue source in Fy08 was gifts, grants, and contracts, at $1.1 billion. virtually all of these revenues are provided to support specific programs rather than general university operations. the federal government was the largest source of gifts, grants, and contracts.

See appendix 18 for details. • after Whites, asians were the largest race/ethnic group of employees, 8.9 percent in 2008. the number of employees in each race/ethnic group increased from 2007 to 2008 except for american indians. See appendix 18 for details. diversity of faculty and staff is one indicator of the UW System’s efforts to develop its human resources. Faculty and staff diversity provides different perspectives on material discussed in the classroom, broader lines of inquiry in research, and richer exchanges of ideas with students. Faculty and staff diversity also contributes to a more welcoming climate for students from underrepresented groups. • of the 38,442 UW System faculty and staff in fall 2008, 5,975 were employees of color, or 15.5 percent. this percentage was unchanged from 2007. the percent of employees of color increased among faculty and instructional academic staff to 13.3 percent, non-instructional academic staff to 15.0 percent, and administrators to 9.0 percent. the percent UW SyStem percent employeeS oF color Within employment category and year Faculty and instructional academic Staff non-instructional academic Staff classified Staff administrators and academic leaders 16% 16 14% 14 12% 12 10% 10 8% 86% 64% 42% 20 african american american indian asian hispanic/latino See appendix 18 for data on graduate assistants. 06 07 08 06 07 08 06 07 08 06 07 08 Asian 24 reSoUrceS American Indian more to explore men and women are employed in approximately equal numbers in the UW System. however, the proportion of women varies by employment category. Women are most numerous in non-teaching and non-administrative roles, making up 57% of non-instructional academic staff and 56% of classified staff in fall 2008. See appendix 18 for details. the UW System employs women faculty and instructional academic staff at the same rate as at public four-year institutions nationally, 43%. of all credits taken by students in the UW System, 57% were taught by tenured and tenure-track faculty members, 36% by instructional academic staff, and the remaining 7% by teaching assistants. additional details on instructional workload are in appendix 19. national and state comparisons: the UW System in 2007 employed a lower percentage of faculty of color (13%) than public four-year institutions nationally (17%), in illinois (18%), and in michigan (16%). Since part-time and non-tenured instructors are drawn primarily from state labor markets, population demographics may influence differences in the percent of faculty of color from state to state. percent FacUlty and inStrUctional academic StaFF oF color, Fall 2007 20 18% 16% 13% 17% 12% 10% 0 UW System illinois iowa michigan minnesota United States Source: national center for education Statistics. reSoUrceS 25 Core Str at e g y 6 operational excellence advance operational excellence by becoming more flexible, responsive, and cost efficient.

Wisconsin ranked fourth among states in the performance of its public research universities and fifth in the performance of its public comprehensive universities. in addition to being below the national average in administrative spending per student, the UW System is below the national average in state tax dollars spent per student. in Fy06, the UW System spent $1,500 less than the national average per student, ranking 36th among states. the UW System saves money by collaborating on administrative software, service contracts, and licensure agreements. For example, in Fy08, the UW System negotiated an approximately $1 million reduction in oracle database licensing fees over the previous contract. operational excellence 27 energy efficiency facilities by 10 percent in Fy08 and 20 percent in Fy10. goal: reduce energy usage per square foot in campus status: goal not achieved. energy USage (btUS) per groSS SQUare Foot oF Space 250,000 250 200,000 200 150,000 150 100,000 100 50,000 50 in 2006, Wisconsin governor James doyle directed state agencies to set energy efficiency goals for state facilities, including the reduction of energy usage per square foot by 10 percent in fiscal year 2008 (Fy08) and by 20 percent in Fy10 from the level in Fy05. the amount of energy used by a UW System facility depends on a variety of factors, including the design of the building and its heating and cooling systems, the academic programs delivered within the facility, and the patterns of use by faculty, staff, and students. • in Fy08, energy consumption was 2.6 percent lower than in the baseline fiscal year of 2005, a reduction that did not meet the target of 10 percent. • campus facilities used 208,054 british thermal Units (btUs) per gross square foot of space in Fy08, down from 213,505 in Fy05. total energy usage increased from 9,492 billion btUs in Fy05 to 9,820 billion btUs in Fy08 during a time when gross square feet increased from 44.5 million to 47.2 million. 0 Fy05 Fy06 Fy07 target Fy08 Fy10 energy Usage the data apply to UW System buildings served by campus heating plants, electrical substations, and chilling plants. m ore to explore energy conservation efforts to date include preventative maintenance of building mechanical systems, reprogramming campus automation systems to optimize control of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, and the promotion of 250 conservation behavior among faculty and staff. Four large projects approved in 2008 will reduce annual 200 heating, ventilation, and air conditioning energy use in three UW-madison buildings by approximately 20%, 42%, and 66%, 150 and at a campus central chilling plant by approximately 66%. the cost of these improvements is expected to be paid back in four to eight years. 100 50 0 28 operational excellence Average credits taken by bachelor’s Degree recipients goal: maintain the UW System average credits to degree below the target of 140. status: goal achieved. average nUmber oF creditS taken by UW StUdentS Who earned a bachelor’S degree 150 150 145 145 140 140 135 135 130 130 125 125 - the UW System recognizes that students benefit from exploring new fields, taking extra classes for improved job marketability or for personal development, and completing more than one major or a certificate program in addition to their primary major. however, these desires need to be balanced with the need for UW institutions to accommodate new students who would like to begin their undergraduate studies. Several factors influence the number of credits that undergraduate students take while earning bachelor’s degrees. Students often change majors, transfer to other UW institutions, and take extra electives. institution controlled factors include: the number of credits required for degree completion, course availability, academic advising, and the number of transfer credits accepted. • UW System graduates in 2007-08 took an average of 133 credits by the time they graduated. average credits to degree have continued to decline since 1993-94, when the goal to reduce credits to degree was established. See appendix 20 for detail by institution. • reductions in credits to degree translate into students taking fewer semesters to graduate and paying less tuition. in addition, the reduction in credits to degree from the 1993-94 average is equivalent to making room for more than 15,000 additional students at UW institutions. 120 93/94 95/96 97/98 99/00 target 01/02 03/04 05/06 07/08 average credits m ore to explore in an attempt to ensure that the number of credits taken to earn a degree remains at or below the UW System target, the UW board of regents enacted a policy requiring UW institutions to review degree requirements and to counsel students who are accumulating a large number of credits. effective fall 2004, the 150 policy also imposes a surcharge on students who earn in excess of145 165 credits or 30 more than required by their degree either program, whichever is greater.

Enrollments enrollments consist of all students enrolled in academic credit courses provided by the UW System, unless noted otherwise. Race/Ethnicity race/ethnicity is self-reported by the individual in one of the following categories: african american, american indian, hispanic/latino, Southeast asian, other asian american, White, and international. Students who are non-resident aliens (temporary U.S. visa holders) are categorized as international; employees that are non-resident aliens are not separately identified. domestic students and employees of unknown race/ethnicity are grouped with White. Students of color and employees of color are defined as those not identifying as White or international. in some cases, asians are reported as a single group for comparability with other data sources. beginning in fall 2008, new race/ethnicity categories were implemented that allow entering students to self-identify as hawaiian/ pacific islander or as more than one race/ethnicity; these new categories are reported where data are available. National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) the 2008 nSSe, conducted by the center for postsecondary research at indiana University, was administered in spring 2008 to campus-based random samples of UW freshmen and seniors. comparison data were drawn from a nSSe report of results for all participating public four-year higher education institutions. determination of statistically significant differences was based on a two-sample test of proportions at a 95 percent confidence interval. a 95 percent confidence interval sets the limits between which the difference of the UW System and national estimates is likely to fall 95 percent of the time. in most cases, differences of one or more percentage points are significant, except when differences of one percent are the result of rounding. the unduplicated headcount of students studying abroad includes students who enrolled in a study abroad or domestic exchange program offered through their UW institution. National Study Abroad Source: institution of international education, open doors 2008, and national center for education Statistics (nceS) integrated postsecondary education data System (ipedS). participation rates were estimated as total participants in study abroad in 2006-07, reported in open doors 2008, divided by the number of undergraduate (associate and bachelor’s) degrees in 2005-06, reported to nceS ipedS. national participation is based only on those institutions participating in open doors 2008 and identified as public four-year institutions in nceS ipedS. approximately half of all public four-year institutions nationally participated in open doors 2008. core Strategy 2: more gradUateS Access Rates the overall access rate and access rates by gender include Wisconsin public and private high school graduates and Wisconsin immediate new freshmen from public and private high schools. access rates by race/ethnicity include Wisconsin public high school graduates and Wisconsin immediate new freshmen from public high schools. the source for the number of Wisconsin high school graduates is the Wisconsin department of public instruction (dpi). the national access rate for public universities is calculated using high school graduate counts from the nceS digest of educational Statistics and immediate new freshmen counts from nceS ipedS. the most recent national access rate available is for 2006. Precollege Programs annual enrollments in multicultural and disadvantaged (m/d) precollege programs represent the number of individual participants per campus per year. the reporting year for precollege participation is defined as the summer term followed by fall and spring. Non-Traditional Students non-traditional students include students at the graduate/professional level age 30 and older, undergraduate students age 25 and older at the doctoral and comprehensive universities, and undergraduates age 22 and older at the UW colleges. Distance Education Courses and Enrollments distance education courses and enrollments reflect activity during the full academic year and supported by all funding sources. Part-Time Enrollments Undergraduates enrolled for fewer than 12 credits in a semester are considered part-time. graduate students enrolled at doctoral institutions with fewer than 8 credits or at comprehensives with fewer than 9 credits are part-time, with the exception of those enrolled in law, medicine, pharmacy, or veterinary schools or enrolled only for dissertation research. Professional Nursing Programs National Council Licensure Examination Source: national council of State boards of nursing, inc. Uniform CPA Examination Source: continental testing Services, inc. cpa exam data reflect the passage rate for total sections taken by all candidates from September 2007 through august 2008. Graduate Record Examination Source: educational testing Service (etS). the UW System average includes scores for institutions reporting 25 or more examinees. the 2006-07 data reflect scores for the 12-month period from July 2006 through June 2007. Medical College Admissions Test Source: association of american medical colleges. UW System Study Abroad bachelor’s degree recipients who studied abroad include students who studied abroad or participated in a domestic exchange program offered through any UW institution at any time in their undergraduate career. core Strategy 1: prepare StUdentS technical noteS 49 Pell Grant Recipients Sources: Federal pell program end of year reports and nceS ipedS. the percentage of pell grant recipients for the UW System includes the UW colleges and is the number of undergraduates receiving a pell grant during the academic year divided by undergraduate enrollment in the fall term. the most recent national percentage is the number of undergraduate pell grant recipients at public four-year institutions during 2006-07 divided by the undergraduate fall enrollment at public four-year institutions in 2006. Cost of Attendance Sources: UW System Fact book and nceS digest of education Statistics. the most recent value from nceS is a preliminary estimate. UW System Retention and Graduation Rates retention and graduation rates are reported for new freshmen entering full-time at UW four-year institutions only. retention rates for the most recent entering class (2007) are preliminary. retention and graduation rates for earlier cohorts have been updated to reflect their final values. retention and graduation rates for pell grant recipients are based on students receiving a pell grant in the freshman year. National Retention and Graduation Rates Source: nceS ipedS. the most recent available retention rate is for the fall 2006, full-time new freshmen entering class. the most recent available graduation rate is for the fall 2001, full-time new freshmen entering class. the national rates are based on public four-year institutions, including military service schools but excluding four-year institutions in U.S. territories and outlying areas. New Undergraduates Graduated or Still Enrolled rates for new freshmen are for those entering full-time at UW four-year institutions only. rates for new transfer students are for those entering any UW System institution. data from non-UW institutions is from the national Student clearinghouse, which includes 91% of all U.S. college students’ enrollment and degree data. Projected Employment in STEM and Health Related Occupations Source: Wisconsin department of Workforce development. occupations related to Stem and health degrees are defined in this report by the following Standard occupational classification areas: computer Specialists (15-1000), mathematical Scientists (15-2000), engineers (17-2000), life Scientists (19-1000), physical Scientists (192000), and healthcare practitioners (29-0000). core Strategy 4: Stronger commUnitieS Service Learning Source: 2007 campus compact annual membership Survey. results are for the UW institutions who responded to the survey: UWeau claire, UW-green bay, UW-la crosse, UW-parkside, UW-river Falls, UW-Stevens point, and UW-Whitewater.

Faculty and Staff Source: UW System office of human resources and nceS ipedS. State and national percentages are based on public four-year institutions only. Instructional Workload each statistic on instructional workload is calculated per full-time equivalent instructional staff member. Weekly group contact hours measure the number of hours spent in classroom instruction. average Student credit hours measure the student credit hours generated through all types of instruction. average group instruction (primary Sections) measures the number of primary group instruction sections, which do not include supporting course sections such as laboratory or discussion sections. average individual instruction (enrollments) measures the enrollments in individualized instruction such as independent study or thesis research. core Strategy 3: Well-paying JobS Contribution to Wisconsin Economy Source: U.S. census, current population Survey, march Supplement, income measure pinc-3. contribution to the Wisconsin economy measures the additional wage income of UW graduates over the income of high school graduates, by applying the national difference in average annual wages by gender to each graduating class of UW bachelor’s degree recipients. Economic Impact Source: northStar economics, inc., Economic Impact of the University of Wisconsin System, 2002. Where possible, numbers have been adjusted with the most recent information available. Degrees in STEM and Health Related Fields currently, no national standard definition exists for Stem and health academic programs. Stem and health programs are defined in this report using the following classification of instructional program (cip) areas: agricultural Sciences (01.09, 01.10, 01.11, 01.12), natural resources and conservation (03), computer Science & info Systems (11), engineering (14), engineering technology (15), life/biological Science (26), mathematics and Statistics (27), physical Science (40), and health (51). Administrative Costs Source: nceS ipedS. administrative costs are reported using standards mandated by the government accounting Standards board (gaSb). data for the UW System, neighboring states, and national average include public fouryear institutions only. rankings of performance relative to funding are from A New Look at the Institutional Component of Higher Education Finance, national center for higher education management Systems (nchemS), december 2005. Credits to Degree calculations are based on attempted credits of first-time UW bachelor’s degree recipients who started as new freshmen at any UW institution. only credits that are state-supported (gpr-funded) are included in the analysis. core Strategy 6: operational excellence 50 technical noteS uw-superior unIversItIes fresHMAn/soPHoMore uW colleges cAMPuses uw-barron county Rice Lake uw-stout Menomonie uw-eau claire uw-river falls uw-marshfield/wood county uw-stevens point uw-green bay uw-fox valley Menasha uw-la crosse uw-oshkosh uw-manitowoc uw-sheboygan uw-fond du lac uw-baraboo/sauk county uw-richland Richland Center uw-madison uw-marinette uw-marathon county Wausau uw-washington county West Bend uw-milwaukee uw-waukesha uw-platteville uw-rock county Janesville uw-whitewater uw-parkside Kenosha campuses oFFice oF policy analySiS and reSearch 1534 van hise hall, 1220 linden drive, madison, Wi 53706 the accountability report can be found at http://www.uwsa.edu/opar/accountability/
