Leading the University Initiative of Prioritization and reallocation Process

• The University started a major initiative of evaluation of all aspects of the academic and administration activities at the university. This became critical after the realization that NIU can no longer do business the old way. This problem is not unique to NIU, it is common across all academic institutions. The decision was made that NIU cannot balance its budget by shrinking. Instead, it should balance its budget by expanding. The first step is to ensure survival in the near future and build on that to expand in enrollment, research, and services. The university decided to start the process of Prioritization and Reallocation, where I am one of the main architects of the process, as explained below.
• I am one of the most involved members in the Prioritization and Reallocation process. Through the chairmanship of the University Budget, Resource, and Space committee, I am involved in the budget decision for reallocation. Through my membership in the Academic Planning Council (APC), I am involved in the decision about prioritization of the academic units. Through the membership of the Coordinating team, I am involved in setting the rules, standard, and process to conduct the whole process of Prioritization and Reallocation. Through my membership in the data group, I participated in determining the definition of the academic programs and the data required to conduct program evaluation. Through my participation in the Evaluation committee, I am involved in assessing the quality of the process. Through my job as chair, I am in charge of developing a strategic plan for the department.
