Section III: Advice to the Provost

Part 1. Overview

What can Be Done?

Keeping benefits to students in mind, the committee recognizes the necessity of sustaining high-quality institution building (and, therefore, high-quality educational opportunities at UW Bothell and UW Tacoma) during this coming period of significant growth. Again, with students in mind, it also perceives the key importance, over time, of enabling the faculty at UW Bothell and UW Tacoma to engage consistently in successful professional development as teachers and scholars (i.e., in renewal) and, further, to engage fully in building the viable, effective and diverse Three Campus UW described in the Executive Summary of this report. The committee has concluded that a synergistic combination of three conditions will be required to successfully attain all these desired results.

• The first is a need for an increase in the amount of resources applied to the start-up aspects of growth at UW Bothell and UW Tacoma (e.g., funds to hire the appropriate faculty and staff to develop new academic programs a year or so before the programs are offered) (Appendix 7 and Appendix 8).

• The second is a refinement of the funding metric for operating UW Bothell and UW Tacoma (Appendix 4 and Appendix 5).

• The third is the development of institutional procedures which facilitate the application of human resources across all three campuses to the effective, continuing development of the Three Campus University of Washington and, therefore, of UW Bothell, UW Seattle and UW Tacoma.
