Dear colleagues,
The Portfolio Review rubrics have been finalized and are posted on the innovation/reinvention site. These revisions are the result of three listening sessions hosted by the Portfolio Review Task Force and the comments received via the online feedback form, where approximately 150 university stakeholders shared feedback about the rubric and the portfolio review process. Specifically, the Portfolio Review Task Force revised the following: the weights of individual items within categories; the evaluative definitions of items 4.r and 5.v; the overall scoring of the rubric; and the program information page. I appreciate your engagement in the rubric revision process.
The team from Institutional Research & Enterprise Data Management will populate the data for each metric within each category of the rubric. The populated rubrics will be posted on September 25th on the innovation/reinvention site for internal campus stakeholders (faculty and staff), permitting schools/colleges to engage in their review process.
Several training sessions on the Excel spreadsheet containing revenue and expenditure data, titled “UNCG Academic Cost and Revenue Analysis” will be offered by Johnny Lail, Andrew Hamilton, and Alan Boyette. These sessions are open to all campus stakeholders and are intended to provide school/college review teams with an understanding of the methodology and how to interpret the fiscal data. These dates will be posted on the innovation/reinvention site. They include:
- Sept. 18 at 2 pm (Teams, see below)
- Sept. 20 at 10 am (in-person, NIB 510)
- Sept. 22 at 2 pm (Teams, see below)
This initiative will impact UNCG’s academic offerings for years to come, and therefore I strongly encourage your active participation as we undertake a review process characterized by the highest levels of transparency, equity, and engagement. If you have any questions about how your school/college plans to engage in the review process, please review the unit level plans posted on the innovation/reinvention site or contact your dean. I am grateful for your many efforts in support of UNCG.
