Integrated Resource Management Strategy

TO: Boulder Campus Teaching & Reseach Faculty, Deans, Directors, Dept Chairs, Central Administration
FROM: Chancellor Richard L. Byyny, MD
SENDER: Richard.Porreca@Colorado.EDU
DATE: October 21, 1998
SUBJECT: Integrated Resource Management Strategy (IRMS)
I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to become involved in a process by which we identify, develop and plan the use of new resources in order to advance the campus vision and implement the strategies that lie behind that vision. Many of you have read about or been involved in the progress of the President's Total Learning Environment (http://www.cusys.edu/TLE/index.html) (TLE) initiative; a system-wide program aimed at articulating and achieving the University's strategic goals to meet the challenges of the 21st Century. TLE is designed to preserve the core values of creativity and learning, while innovating and stimulating progress to meet contemporary and future issues. Implementation of the TLE requires identifying specific campus strategies, as well as determining the required program enhancements and the associated sources and uses of resources. Accordingly, one of the processes targeted for revision through the TLE initiative is the University's resource allocation and budget process. The revisions will place an emphasis on multi-year budget planning, and on increasing the amount of funds available to support the academic enterprise and support services. This new approach in determining our resource needs and allocations, has been coined the Integrated Resource Management Strategy (IRMS). Implementation of IRMS is taking place in several phases, with each phase enlisting and depending upon the input of faculty. As part of Phase I of IRMS, this memo offers you the opportunity to provide your ideas for needed enhancements or initiatives that would bring CU closer to achieving its aspirations. The current campus vision statement and campus TLE goals identified in our campus strategic plan are attached. Also attached is a preliminary list of new and existing efforts tentatively identified as areas that could be created or augmented as part of the implementation of TLE. This list is not all-inclusive. It is a beginning; a frame of references for you as faculty members to determine where additional resources might be dedicated to achieve the campus' strategic interests. Determination of program enhancements is being done in conjunction with identifying additional resources to be sought through the CU Foundation TLE/ Capital Campaign, as well as other sources. Our process will include faculty, department chairs, and deans of the colleges and schools. As such, I kindly ask that you take some time to review the attached list and consider how you would amend it, including identifying important and high priority items that need to be added. Also, please consider placing an asterisk (*) next to those few items which you feel are the most critical for us to support and in which to invest over the next three years, in particular. Please respond with our edits, through your Department Chair, Dean or directly to the Office of Planning, Budget and Analysis, (Campus Box 15, or by e-mail to porreca@spot.colorado.edu prior to November 6th. Should you have any questions, you can contact Professor Bill Kaempfer in the Office of Academic Affairs (x2-6406 or William.Kaempfer@colorado.edu or Ric Porreca at the Office of Planning, Budget and Analysis (x2-8631 or mailto:porreca@spot.colorado.edu Thank you in advance for your valuable input to this important effort. I will make every effort to keep you informed of the progress of the IRMS through future mailings and by communicating regularly with the Boulder Faculty Assembly representatives, Department Chairs, and the Council of Deans.

UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO AT BOULDER
Planning for a new century through a Total Learning Environment

Vision Statement

The University of Colorado at Boulder is a diverse community of advanced learning, with the highest standards of scholarship, in which research and creative work enrich the teaching of students. We are committed to being a premier public research university of the 21st century; preparing the future leaders of Colorado, the nation, and the world; and, improving human life through learning.

Achieving the Vision

To accomplish this vision, the campus recognizes the need to focus attention in the following areas of activity. It is noted that these areas are linked and even co-dependent in many ways. Further, it is explicitly acknowledged that these areas of focus cannot succeed without a strong foundation of support services and campus infrastructure to ensure a safe and supportive environment in which learning and discovery can prosper.
