LSU-Shreveport’s Concerns

Letters of intent approved; awaiting post-moratorium proposal submissions EdD in Education Leadership (consortium) PhD in Bioinformatics (with LSUHSC-S and LA Tech)

Recent proposal / approved MS in Biology (approved in January 2012)

Proposed change in Role/Scope/Mission not approvedLocal community support—not generating response in Baton RougeEffects of Regents’ program approval moratoria New program list developed Good mix of bachelor’s, master’s, and applied doctoral

programs

ConclusionsHigher Education Contexts—Louisiana

Providing contexts for S-B solutions: Crossfire of opinions—higher

education’s role in economic development

2-year vs. 4-year and beyond

Fiscal constraints—certainly now; maybe forever

Admissions standards, accountability, efficiency = all good things

Current initiatives, e.g. Governance Commission and LSU flagship agenda or reorganization

All change is hard……and higher education is particularly change-averse…

…but traditional ways of doing things are unsustainable—if we are to educate many more people to higher levels

Conclusions:Higher Education Contexts—Shreveport-Bossier

Need to consider: Northwest / North Louisiana vs. metro area Not the same; requires more refined considerations of program

duplication

Dichotomy: Above average track record in collaboration CERT 2+2 Social Innovation Grant (workforce collaboration; only 5 awarded

in US)

BUT—fierce competition for S-B urban market enrollments

LSU-Shreveport—has not grown as one would expect/hope it would Strained relationships Significant local 2-year institution capacity No residential students (housing prohibited in early years; then

not pursued) Program opportunities not pursued Weak branding and marketing/recruitment (Airport example) Very effective competition from UL institutions in I-20 Corridor

Global and National Competition

S-B lags US, SREB, and Louisiana in some measures of education attainment.

So, if S-B wants to be an urban center that is competitive in the US and globally, it needs to work harder on education attainment

S-B leaders have known this for a long time.

And, sadly, the US now lags several countries.

Conclusions:Unmet Postsecondary Education Needs in S-B

3 distinct types of unmet needs—not all subject to the same solution: Degree Programs

• Expanded range of programs needed for individuals and/or to support and enhance economic development strategies and targeted industries

• Some baccalaureate programs, plus needs at master’s level, with selected applied doctorates

• Better articulation from plethora of two-year to four-year programs

Underserved Population Segments• Program opportunities (above)• Different service delivery for the place-bound, including

working adults—all levels and Shreveport’s “majority” minority population

Research and Innovation Capacity (Economic Development)• Perceived by many as the MOST serious deficit and requiring

significant changes and rapid growth• NOT ONLY about research; it’s about human capital and

deliberate outreach programs

Chapter 5—Overview of Models/Alternatives

Four Generic Models Reviewed

Grow an In-Place InstitutionPartnership—Program CollaborationsPartnership—Program Importation To an existing institution/campus To a “university center”

Consolidation

Four Additional Specific Scenarios

Georgia Tech-Emory University collaboration in Bioengineering

Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI)

Consolidation of LSU-Shreveport and LSU Health Sciences Center-Shreveport

Consolidation of LSU-Shreveport, LSU Health Sciences Center-Shreveport, and Louisiana Tech

Chapter 6—Evaluation of the Alternativesfor Shreveport-Bossier

Principles for the Analysis

Program Expansion Acquire and develop undergraduate and graduate

programs that are sound in quality, responsive to interests of current and future learners and target industries, and avoid unnecessary duplication—some programs to “lead” demand

Serving the Underserved Sustain increasing educational attainment for metro area

citizens Provide local access to higher programs, with special

consideration of working, place-bound adults and City of Shreveport’s African-American majority

Innovation Capacity Increase metro area’s “intellectual capital and innovation

capacity” to support innovation in business, industry Contribute to social and cultural advancement in the metro

area

Principles for the Analysis

Administrative/Support Produce some substantial results soon—as waiting

decades for improvement is unacceptable Provide efficient and effective administrative services that

support the educational mission Maintain an active, physical university campus/location in

the metro area with instruction delivered primarily face-to-face, but supplemented with distance delivery as appropriate.

The analysis assumes that LSU-Shreveport continues to exist as an independent institution, or exists in some form of consolidation.

Structure of the Analysis

Examined for each model: Advantages (pros) Requirements (what it would

take to make the advantages happen)

Disadvantages (cons, or risks) Mitigation (what could be done

to eliminate or mitigate the risks)

No silver bullet All models have pluses and

minuses—with various ways to ensure advantages and mitigate disadvantages

In the end—total solution comprised of a “core solution”—with specific applications of some other models

Consolidation of LSU-Shreveportand LSU Health Sciences Center-Shreveport

Summary Has been suggested many times as local version of the

“Birmingham” model 2005 EKA Merger Concept Analysis Attractive feature is relatively less stress in consolidating

two LSU institutions

Conclusions No instant synergies in merging programs, faculties,

campuses, policies, cultures, etc. Program growth needed in S-B still would require more

faculty, program development, and approvals (in all but Health Sciences)

Does not really enhance research or innovation capacity

Consolidation of LSU-Shreveport, LSU Health Sciences-Shreveportand Louisiana Tech

Summary Create a truly larger, comprehensive institution in the

North of the State by this 3-way consolidation—very attractive hypothetically

Many substantive issues would require analysis Politically challenging

Conclusions An idea that merits future consideration BUT well beyond the scope of this EKA study to analyze

and develop a competent recommendation

Chapter 7—Conclusions and Recommendations

ConclusionsNarrowing the Options

Program Collaboration Not best way to achieve the program and overall

institutional growth Excellent way to address some needs of the underserved Specific applications in research—where complementarity

exists

Program Importation Normally the solution where no university exists Has flexibility advantages Does nothing to enhance local intellectual/innovation

capacity Can severely limit growth/success of LSU-Shreveport

Narrows the options to: Grow LSUS Consolidate LSUS and LA Tech

ConclusionsSystem Questions

For Consolidation Option Initial presumption was that consolidated, enlarged

Louisiana Tech (including LSU-Shreveport) would best fit in LSU System• If a System of comprehensive, special purpose research

institutions• Noted some potential willingness on both sides

Later, changed view due to• Flagship Coalition/agenda and potential reorganization

uncertainties• LSU System’s preference

For Grow LSUS Option If / as LSU reorganizes, incorporating flagship/research

goals as priorities, UL System would be better fit for small institution in need of basic program and enrollment growth

Would reduce negative aspects of competition with UL institutions in North Louisiana, and make collaborations easier

Recommendation #1—Consolidation

Consolidate LSU in Shreveport and Louisiana Tech University as a single, enlarged “new” Louisiana Tech in the UL System—a single university with a Ruston Campus and a Shreveport Campus #1A: Consolidation Implementation Plan #1B: Special, Interim Governance/Management. #1C: Critical Leadership Continuity in the Early Years #1D: One-Time Special/Transition Funding

Recommendation #2—Transfer of LSUS to UL System

If support for Recommendation #1 is not acquired, then transfer LSU-Shreveport to the UL System and seek a “fresh start” in growing the institution #2A: Name Change #2B: Comprehensive Program Review and Updates #2C: Additional Program Strategies #2D: Supportive Role of the Board of Regents

Recommendation #3—Priority Accorded to Research / Innovation Capacity and Enhanced Institutional/Community Collaborations

Aggressively accelerate planning and actions to bring about growth in strategically selected areas of research and innovation support, matching the combined strengths of Louisiana Tech and LSU Health Sciences Center in Shreveport to the MSA/regional economic development industry targets #3A: Collaborative Biomedical Engineering Program #3B: Regional Strategic Research / Innovation Agenda #3C: Business/Industry Outreach and Problem-Solving

Recommendation #4—Improved Delivery to Underserved Populations and Higher Baccalaureate Completion Rates

Evaluate all service delivery options and techniques typically used in large, successful urban universities and take concrete steps to further encourage and facilitate the two-year to four-year transition* and completion for more learners #4A: Adult/Place-Bound Baccalaureate Completions #4B: African-American Participation and Degree

Completions #4C: Pragmatic Aspects of Delivery for Adults and All Place-

Bound Students

*SUSLA and BPCC should deliver some programs on LSU-S campus; shared support services for students, etc.

Recommendation #5—Communications and Consensus

Create and carry out a Communications Plan, to immediately engage constituents and stakeholders from Shreveport-Bossier, Ruston, and North Louisiana in understanding the issues at stake, and the proposed solutions #5A: Support of Legislative Delegations #5B: Statutory Language

Last Words

Very challenging assignment Higher education institutions are change-averse Many substantive issues to understand and weigh Big range of opinions, allegiances, alliances, even emotions

Remember: Who is the Client? Only way to do this assignment responsibly: Focus only on those

served, and not on the providers (institutions / systems)

Some Comfort? These same uncomfortable restructurings being considered in

other states and all over Europe

At the end—we believe these conclusions are correct for Shreveport-Bossier, Ruston, and the region. However, only through strong community and legislative support can these changes be accomplished.

REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS BY THE COMMISSIONER OF HIGHER

EDUCATION

Two items:1.Building our workforce2.Working with adults

"This place is what's best in America. We saw it in this competition."

The GE deal also includes a requirement that the state dedicate $5 million over 10 years, or $500,000 per year, to developing technology-centered curriculum at institutions of higher education around Louisiana.The education aspect was a major sticking point for GE, which during negotiations expressed concern about Louisiana's ability to supply workers now and into the future. About 80 percent of the local GE workforce is expected to have five years of experience or more in their field, Secretary of Economic Development Stephen Moret said."I perceived that to be the most significant issue they dwelled on a bit," Moret said. "It was not a question of quality, but of density."
