Academic and Administrative Program Prioritization Initiative 2018 Data Collection Instrument: Academic Programs

Taskstream by Watermark is the platform that department chairs will use to prepare academic program self-study reports. Although department chairs are ultimately responsible for completing and submitting the program self-study reports, the reports should be prepared with input from their faculties, in order to ensure the reports represent the academic programs accurately and equitably. In these program self-study reports, department chairs will be asked the following:

describe the academic program and its role in fulfilling Howard University’s mission; provide quantitative and qualitative information about the program’s goals, objectives, and activities, as well as

the adequacy of resources available to carry out activities to meet objectives and achieve goals; describe mechanisms for assessing how well the program is performing and provide evidence of the program’s

effectiveness; and describe problems, challenges, and areas of improvement.

The platform is divided into four sections.Section I provides instructions for completing the program self-study report.In Section II, department chairs will describe the academic program and provide additional pertinent background information necessary to properly contextualize the program during the evaluation process.In Section III, key performance indicators (KPIs) are organized within five key areas: mission, productivity, quality, demand (internal and external), and net revenue (costs/expenses associated with the program; revenue/resources generated by the program). Some of the KPIs are centrally collected by the data team and will be so indicated, along with sources of that data. Other KPIs will have to be provided by the chair, with a clear description of the source of that data. Finally, in Section IV, department chairs will complete a SWOT analysis, identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. In this section, academic programs will be able to describe problems, challenges, and areas of improvement and to address adequacy of resources available to carry out activities to meet objectives and achieve goals.Department chairs will submit their completed program self-study reports to the Task Force during fall 2018. Each program self-study report will be evaluated by a team of Task Force members, serving as peer evaluators. Evaluators will use rubrics to assess how well the academic programs are performing across a number of relevant evaluative dimensions identified in advance by the Task Force.

Academic and Administrative Program Prioritization Initiative 2018 Data Collection Instrument: Academic Programs

The information that department chairs provide will be reviewed by teams of Task Force members, serving as peer evaluators, and used to evaluate the academic programs. Responses will be scored via rubrics that consist of coherent sets of criteria to assess how well the academic programs are performing, across a number of relevant evaluative dimensions that were identified in advance by the Task Force. These rubrics will be available in each academic program’s folder on the Program Prioritization shared drive.How to complete each section:In Section II, please describe the academic program and provide additional pertinent background information, so the evaluators can properly contextualize the program.In Section III, key performance indicators (KPIs) are organized within five key areas: mission, productivity, quality, demand (internal and external), and net revenue. All of the KPIs that can be supplied centrally will be available in each academic program’s folder on the Program Prioritization shared drive. The remaining KPIs must be self-reported, along with evidence and sources for the data. In this section, please also provide any additional evidence available that is illustrative of the program's performance in each of the key areas. If the value of any institutionally-provided KPI seems to be inconsistent with local knowledge, please correct that value and, in the supporting narrative section, please note the correction and identify the source of the new data. Finally, while completing the supporting narrative section for each key area, please be certain to provide contextual information necessary to enable the evaluators to properly assess the program's performance in that key area as they are examining the data (i.e., the KPIs). For example, in Section III A Mission, a description of the importance of the academic program to the fulfillment of Howard University's mission and evidence of the how the program’s activities advance the University’s mission should be provided.Finally, in Section IV, please complete the SWOT analysis, identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. In this section, academic programs will be able to describe problems, challenges, and areas of improvement and to address adequacy of resources available to carry out activities to meet objectives and achieve goals

This includes evidence of: (a) internal demand (e.g., courses that satisfy General Education requirements; internal demand for technical assistance); (b) external demand (e.g., student enrollment, graduates’ starting salaries and placement rates); and (c) the program’s capacity for growth and enhancement.

The KPIs that could be supplied centrally are designated as such in the table above and have been made available in your program’s folder on the Program Prioritization shared drive. What is not provided centrally will need to be provided by the unit, unless it is not relevant to an assessment of demand in the context of this program.

Please review the KPIs in your program’s folder on the Program Prioritization shared drive. If the value of any institutionally-provided KPI seems to be inconsistent with local knowledge, please correct that value and, in the supporting narrative section, please note the correction and identify the source of the new data.

Also, please provide any additional evidence available that is illustrative of the program's demand that’s not on the list. Finally, please provide any contextual information necessary to enable the evaluators to properly assess your program’s demand. This includes benchmarks by which the evidence you provided can be measured. Benchmarks can be internal (e.g., benchmarking relative to the program’s goals or objectives) and/or external (e.g., benchmarking against peer programs, professional standards, and/or bodies).

Academic and Administrative Program Prioritization Initiative 2018 Data Collection Instrument: Academic ProgramsSupporting Narrative

Above, the Task Force has identified a list of key performance indicators (KPIs) that constitute evidence relevant to an assessment of net revenue for the academic program. Net revenue is income generated by the program, in relation to the costs associated with delivering the program. In short, what is the balance between how many resources the program produces versus uses? Net revenue is measured according to tuition and fees collected by the program, grants, contracts, personnel expenditures, instructional supplies, and revenue generated from clinics, programs, grants, and contracts (in addition to other indicators).

The KPIs that could be supplied centrally are designated as such in the table above and have been made available in your program’s folder on the Program Prioritization shared drive. What is not provided centrally will need to be provided by the unit, unless it is not relevant to an assessment of net revenue in the context of this program.

Please review the KPIs in your program’s folder on the Program Prioritization shared drive. If the value of any institutionally-provided KPI seems to be inconsistent with local knowledge, please correct that value and, in the supporting narrative section, please note the correction and identify the source of the new data.

SECTION IV: SWOT Analysis .

Typically, program prioritization analyses--whether quantitative or qualitative--are historic by nature. However, opportunity analysis includes a vison for the future, asking how the academic program might be repurposed or reconfigured to achieve higher levels of productivity, quality, demand, and/or net revenue. This exercise might be best thought of as a SWOT (strengths/ weaknesses/ opportunities/ threats) analysis. The focus of this section should be on a realistic statement of potential program adaptation. Given the circumstances, this should not become a simple request for additional funding. If there are potential benefits from program consolidation or new partnerships (on or off campus), this is an appropriate time and place to make it known.Please identify and discuss the academic program’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Be sure to describe problems, challenges, and areas of improvement and address adequacy of resources available to carry out activities to meet objectives and achieve goals.
