Academic Quality Improvement Program
SIUE is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association. SIUE has joined the Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP), a new and innovative method for maintaining regional accreditation. As part of the process, SIUE has selected four AQIP action projects on which the institution will focused over the nextpast three years. Information on these four action projects may be found at www.siue.edu/AQIP. The four action projects are:
Goal 1: Measures of Student Learning
Goal 2: Reshape New Student Transitions
Goal 3: Improve Student and Administrative Services
Goal 4: Strategic Planning Process
SIUE provides an annual Action Project Update that is reviewed by external evaluators who provide feedback on the institution’s progress. This feedback is included in SIUE’s Results Performance Report.
In the third year, SIUE prepared a Systems Portfolio which provided answers to questions pertaining to the context, processes, results, and improvements for each of the nine AQIP criteria. SIUE's Systems Portfolio was reviewed by an external appraisal team with a report provided to the University on April 29, 2004. The report contains a developmental assessment and strengths and opportunities for improvement for each of the nine AQIP criteria as well as an analysis of SIUE's strategic issues. This feedback will be considered as SIUE identifies the next set of action projects for 2004-2007. A SIUE team will attend the AQIP Strategy Forum in fall 2004 to determine SIUE's next action projects.
RAMP 05 06 Assumptions
The University Planning and Budget Council identified and used the following assumptions when developing SIUE’s FY 05 operational budget.
1. SIUE’s general revenue appropriation will be reduced by 2% or $1.258M.
2. Enrollment in FY 05 will equal to that of FY 04; no growth, but no loss.
3. SIUE must implement the “Truth in Tuition Bill.”
4. SIUE must implement the increased minimumSIUE's planning for FY 06 assumes that enrollment will remain constant. The requests included in this document are for general revenue funds only. Additional income to be realized from an increase in the rate of tuition will be used to strengthen the academic base, partially replace general revenue lost in recent years, and fund part of a salary increase in accord with decision rules used historically by the IBHE. wage of $6.50/hr. in January, 2005.

These funds will be used to recruit and retain faculty and staff in high demand areas, to increase salaries toward national peer medians, and to provide performance-based salary incentives.

PROGRAM PRIORITIES REQUEST
School of Pharmacy Implementation
I. REQUEST IDENTIFICATION
A. Name of Institution: Southern Illinois University Edwardsville
B. Title of Request: School of Pharmacy Implementation
C. Total Requested: $895,000
D. Proposed date for initiation: FY 06
E. Date of submission: RAMP 04
F. Program Abstract: This Program Priorities Request seeks new state resources to continue the implementation of the School of Pharmacy at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville to address the pressing health care need of a shortage of pharmacists in central and southern Illinois. The School of Pharmacy was approved by the Illinois Board of Higher Education at its April 2, 2002 meeting.
II. RELATIONSHIP TO THE ILLINOIS COMMITMENT AND INSTITUTIONAL PRIORITIES
SIUE’s focus statement calls for the University to “offer undergraduate programs and master’s programs encompassing instruction in the arts and sciences, education, social services, business, engineering, and the health professions in order to improve the quality of life, economy, health care, and environment in the greater St. Louis metropolitan area.” The new program would replicate the Schools of Dental Medicine and Nursing success in preparing health care practitioners to serve the citizens of central and southern Illinois.
The SIUE program intends to admit 75 students for each cohort beginning in FY 06 in a 4-year professional program and to graduate approximately the same number to meet pharmacy industry demand. Positioned as the School of Pharmacy for central and southern Illinois, students from throughout the region could matriculate to SIUE for their professional education. Targeted student populations would include two special groups: science majors who desire to make a program change during their college career and Illinois residents who desire to return to the University to enter pharmacy as a second career. It should be noted that in existing Schools of Pharmacy a number of the students are individuals pursuing pharmacy as a second career. The SIUE School of Pharmacy, located in the second largest metropolitan area in the state, is well located to serve this type of student. These contributions will help meet the Illinois Commitment goals of supporting business and economic growth in the state and providing additional educational opportunities to the state’s citizens. The programs also meet SIUE's long-term goals of Innovative High Quality Programs and Active Community Engagement.
III. JUSTIFICATION FOR THE BUDGET REQUEST
It is recommended by the a pharmacy school dean who served as a consultant and the American Council of Pharmaceutical Education that an 18 – 24 month start-up period be provided for a dean to hire faculty, establish a curriculum, and begin the accreditation process. During the start-up, library and equipment would be purchased prior to the hiring of new faculty and enrollment of the first students. Thus, resource requirements outlined in RAMP 03 reflected incremental increases to phase-in the operation of the School of Pharmacy. The School of Pharmacy is anticipated to be fully operational in FY 09. A class size of 75 students will require a faculty of approximately of 40 members, including the Dean and other School administrators as outlined in the following table.
