Board of Trustees Microsoft Teams Meeting - New Business - Action2020 ACCOUNTABILITY PLANUniversity of South FloridaPending BOT Approval, 4/16/2020INTRODUCTIONThe Accountability Plan is an annual report that is closely aligned with the Board of Governors’2025 System Strategic Plan. This report enhances the System’s commitment to accountability andstrategic planning by fostering greater coordination between institutional administrators, UniversityBoards of Trustees and the Board of Governors regarding each institution’s direction and prioritiesas well as performance expectations and outcomes on institutional and System-wide goals.Once an Accountability Plan is approved by each institution’s respective Boards of Trustees, theBoard of Governors will review and consider the plan for approval, excluding those sections of thePlan that require additional regulatory or procedural approval pursuant to law or Board regulations.35
Board of Trustees Microsoft Teams Meeting - New Business - Action2020 ACCOUNTABILITY PLANUniversity of South FloridaPending BOT Approval, 4/16/2020STRATEGYMission StatementLed by outstanding faculty and professional staff, the University of South Florida (USF) conducts innovativescholarship, creative activity, and basic and translational research, and delivers a world-class educationalexperience promoting the success of our talented and diverse undergraduate, graduate, and professionalstudents.As a public metropolitan research university, USF, in partnership with our communities, serves the people ofFlorida, the nation, and the world by fostering intellectual inquiry and outcomes that positively shape the future regionally, nationally, and globally.Statement of StrategyThe University of South Florida, comprised of campuses in Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota-Manatee, is guidedby the Florida Board of Governors’ (BOG) Strategic Plan and driven by a commitment to accountability andexcellence. USF is committed to “Students First” by expanding access and raising educational attainment whilecontinuing to strengthen USF’s stature as a Preeminent Research University and its national and globalrankings. USF continues national best practices in student success and diversity while maintaining the highestlevels of academic excellence and high-impact research.The 2018 Florida Legislature mandated that by July 1, 2020, USF will consolidate into one university, geographicallydistributed. “One USF” affords the State of Florida the opportunity to maximize the impact of a highly-rankedresearch university located across a large metropolitan area. USF is poised to continue its upward trajectory as thenation’s fastest-rising university under our plan for “One USF”. Central to our consolidation strategy is leveragingthe distinct advantages of each USF campus while aligning accountability across campuses, valuing sharedgovernance through engaging students, faculty and staff. Contingent upon legislative support, major investmentsin all three campuses will raise the national profile of “One USF” and provide students and faculty with newacademic and research opportunities.President Steven C. Currall initiated a Strategic Renewal process during the Fall of 2019, and an early step of theprocess is the establishment of USF’s Principles of Community Taskforce. The process is designed to strengthen acampus climate of mutual support among faculty, staff, and students and will facilitate our shared strategy,mission, vision, and goals for “One USF”.46
Board of Trustees Microsoft Teams Meeting - New Business - Action2020 ACCOUNTABILITY PLANUniversity of South FloridaPending BOT Approval, 4/16/2020STRATEGY (cont.)Strengths, Opportunities & ChallengesUSF is on an unprecedented trajectory in reputation and performance metrics, gaining national recognition as oneof the fastest rising universities. We continue to make gains by increasing student success outcomes, improvingFTIC retention rates and four-year and six-year graduation rates, and lowering student-faculty ratio. USF looksforward to implementing a strategic renewal plan, which will inform our academic and research priorities. USF isuniquely positioned to train the next generation of physicians and pioneer world-changing discoveries at the newstate-of-the-art USF Health Morsani College of Medicine and Taneja College of Pharmacy and Heart Institute whichopened in January 2020.As we continue on our path as “One USF”, we will utilize best practices: increasing faculty resources andproductivity, enhancing the quality of access and programs for incoming students, cultivating institutionalreputation among peer intuitions, and growing community support through philanthropy, while aligning with theFlorida Legislature’s vision. We will continue our upward trajectory, uphold Preeminence, and maintain our statusas a top global university. Major investments in all three campuses, contingent upon legislative support, will raisethe national profile of “One USF” and provide students and faculty with new academic and research opportunities.This support is fundamental in offering new scholarly opportunities for faculty and students at each campus. Thenext step in the consolidation process is the SACSCOC site visit following July 1, 2020 to affirm we are working asone university. USF faculty and staff across all three campuses continue to work diligently to complete all SACSCOCsubstantive tasks and prepare documentation, assuring we have a smooth transition as we work towards “OneUSF”Three Key Initiatives & InvestmentsUSF is an institution where excellence and opportunity converge. We focus on the quality of undergraduate andgraduate students and their educational experience; faculty, research and creative impact; and strategicpartnerships. Supporting initiatives include 1. Academic and Research Excellence, 2. Accreditation forConsolidation, and 3. Strengthening Preeminence with a continued path towards AAU membership eligibility andbecoming Top 25 in USNWR’s ranking. Across all of our campuses, we will increase our efforts in:Advancing student learning, success, persistence, retention, and degree completion through the Excellence inAcademic Advising initiative; continually enhancing and refining the MWell4Success program which includes anarray of support services from therapy to time-management, anxiety-reducing skills, and stress coping strategies;advancing at least one center of excellence on each USF campus under “One USF”; launching the Faculty SuccessWorkgroup to focus on matters of significant importance in strengthening the Preeminent stature of aconsolidated USF, such as helping to increase the research portfolio with strategic hires and driving down studentto faculty ratio; and continuing a General Education Council to advise on the ongoing development,implementation and assessment of an effective general education program and expanded course offerings acrossall three campuses.57
Board of Trustees Microsoft Teams Meeting - New Business - Action2020 ACCOUNTABILITY PLANUniversity of South FloridaPending BOT Approval, 4/16/2020STRATEGY (cont.)Graduation Rate Improvement Plan UpdateThe Graduation Rate Improvement plan implemented by the USF System in 2018 built on and enhancedcomprehensive, system-wide initiatives then underway, including, but not limited to 1) predictive analytics, 2) casemanagement, 3) course scheduling, and 4) the Finish in Four program. USF has made substantial progress in eachone of these areas.1). Predictive Analytics: The Civitas Learning analytics platform has been extended to users at USFSP and USFSM.Lists of at-risk students are distributed around the campuses every week. Further, our institutional research officeworked with Civitas to modify the platform to predict a students’ likelihood of persistence to the following fallsemester (rather than semester to semester). In addition, the in-house predictive models built on pre-enrollmentdata and surveys (known as the First Year Retention model), were also developed for USFSP and USFSM.2). Case Management: The cross-functional Persistence Committees have been strengthened at all three campusesby standardizing the practices utilized by the professional staff. In addition, Information Technology enhanced thecase management communications platform, Archivum Insights, to allow for appointment scheduling and textmessaging. Support personnel across the three campuses are developing and operating under a common“playbook” to share best practices and train additional personnel.3) Course Scheduling: Enrollment planners and college schedulers promoted the utilization of the Ad Astraplatform to assist in developing course schedules that optimize seats and facilitate timely degree completion.Through training sessions and regular meetings, we promoted the concept and practice of scheduling courses thatserve students’ needs and demands first. We also launched curricular “audits” of all degree programs to identifybottlenecks and other obstacles built into the curriculum that delay a students’ path to a degree.4) Finish in Four: To encourage students to graduate in four years, the university awarded 298,555 in financialincentives to FTIC students in the 2015 cohorts who were just short of 120 credit hours. The awards contributedto an increase in the USF Tampa four-year graduation rate from 55% in 2016 to 61.5% in 2019. In 2017, USFdeveloped the Green to Gold Grant program to offer additional financial incentives to Florida resident summer/fallFTIC admits who have a zero expected family contribution. This grant, in combination with the Federal Pell Grant,covers tuition, fees and books. To date, we have paid 535 students 1,185,209 for 2019-20. Bright Futuresrecipients were also eligible for this grant.68
