The Challenge for UT Dallas (Reported by Washington Advisory Group, 2004)

“The main obstacle that UTD faces in achieving its goals

relates to scale – UTD is simply too small in terms of the total

number of faculty in each disciplinary or sub-disciplinary area.”

“We believe that with continued progress, support from the

state, the UT System and private sources, and with strong

leadership, UTD could become a top tier research university

and fulfill the dreams of its founders.”


Keys to Accomplishing Our Goals

• Scale Up the University

– Increase student body to 25,000 FTE and 30,000 total students

(≈ 5% per year increase)

– Increase T/TT faculty to ≈ 800 - 1,000 members (≈ 5% per year)

– Add select degree programs, maintaining our focus but

becoming a complete university

• Sustain and Build Quality in All Aspects of University

Function

• Develop Strong Partnerships in DFW

– Focus on globally significant problems of great interest to local

businesses and organizations
