b. USF St. Petersburg P3 Project

USF St. Petersburg (USFSP) Regional Chancellor Sophia Wisniewska introduced Vice

Chancellor of Finance and Administration Joe Trubacz to request approval to construct new

on-campus student housing.

USFSP has already exceeded capacity to meet current student housing demand. In response

to growing demand, an Invitation to Negotiate (“ITN”) was developed to solicit responses

from qualified interested parties for a public private partnership agreement with the

University. EdR Collegiate Housing was selected. The proposed Project would house a 550

bed residence hall, conference center, and dining area. USFSP is seeking approval for a

private entity to design-build-finance-maintain the new facilities consistent with the

University’s objectives and Florida BOG P3 Guidelines. The Project has a target completion

date of August 2019.

David Thompson, the USFSP Student Body President, made remarks in support of the Project

behalf the students at the request of Chair Mullis.

Trustee Goforth stressed that the USFSP P3 Project has strictly followed current BOG

Guidelines, with all items on the BOG Guidance checklist completed. She also emphasized

the University committed to submit the Project with no exceptions to the Guidelines to the

Board of Governors.

There was discussion regarding the different funding models, as well as risk transfer and

capital expense reserves. Also, property reversion, in the event of a default, and at the end of

the lease was discussed. Vice President for Business and Finance Nick Trivunovich noted a

considerable effort was spent protecting the University from risks when negotiating the

Ground Lease.

Chair Lamb commended the Committee for putting the needs of the students first and

stressed his support for the Project. He also thanked Trustee Goforth for her continued hard

work toward success of the Project.

A motion was made and seconded to recommend the approval of the project to the

full Board of Trustees at its next meeting. The motion was approved by all committee

members present.

IV. New Business – Information Items

a. Morsani College of Medicine Update

Vice President Calvin Williams presented an update on the status of the Morsani College of

Medicine and Heart Institute downtown building. The presentation included the current

building design. Two shell floors have been added for a total of thirteen floors, due to

anticipated space constraints upon building completion. The project budget will increase to

$173 million with the addition of two shell floors. Vice President Williams stressed to the

Committee that, although the costs of the project have increased, they will not go back to the

State to request more funding. Fundraising efforts will cover the higher costs. President

Genshaft noted that the increased budget is warranted as there is only one opportunity to get

the project right the first time. She also commented that Aviation Authority had approved the

building of thirteen floors.

There was discussion regarding the Board’s obligation to the BOG and the Legislature

regarding changes to the structure and budget. In response to a question from Trustee Carrere

on the authority of the Board to approve of the changes, General Counsel Gerard Solis noted

that as a practical matter the BOG should be consulted for approval before moving forward

with the changes.

Chair Mullis concluded the conversation by confirming the Committee would take this as an

action item at the October Strategic Initiatives Committee. He consulted with Dr. Visot

regarding the rules for calling a special conference call for approval- if the December 14 full

BOT meeting was past construction deadlines. Chair Lamb agreed to call a special meeting if

necessary.

b. Stadium Feasibility Study

Athletic Director Mark Harlan provided a short overview of the USF Football Stadium

Conceptual Planning Study, and Vice President Calvin Williams led the presentation. Vice

President Williams reviewed the Study’s findings, including the potential site locations

around campus, and comparisons to out-of-state stadiums regarding number of seats,

structure, and construction cost.

He noted one of the potential sites includes a mixed-use facility to enhance the USF Botanical

Gardens. President Genshaft assured the members that the project would protect the species

and the environment of the Gardens.

Vice President Williams emphasized that the study is still preliminary and long-range

milestones include a financing strategy and fundraising feasibility study.

c. Understanding and Navigating Institutional Rankings at USF Tampa

Chair Mullis thanked Executive Vice President Wilcox for tabling his presentation due to

CALL TO ACTION

The USF System Office of Supplier Diversity (USFOSD) Assistant Vice President along with Execu�ve Level Administra�on has issued a “Call to Ac�on” to increase the u�liza�on of diverse businesses across the USF System. This increase will be achieved by working with all USF System Purchasing Agents, Departmental Buyers, Facili�es Planning and Construc�on Department (FPC), all PCard holders and the University of South Florida Diversity Commitee.

WHAT IS THE DESIRED OUTCOME?

The desired outcome of this strategic plan is to create a roadmap in developing a systema�c program administered by the USFOSD to increase awareness across the USF System about the importance and benefits of u�lizing diverse suppliers in university procurements of goods, services, and construc�on. The category of designated diverse suppliers include women-, minority, and veteran-owned business enterprises.

WHERE ARE WE NOW?

offerings to the USF system. Finally, monitoring and tracking program performance will be essen�al to providing insight to the USFOSD on areas of focus.

Ul�mately, the vision for the USFOSD is to formulate a strategic organiza�on that will increase the u�liza�on of diverse businesses system wide and create a program within the next 5 years that will include the Assistant Vice President of Supplier Diversity and a fully staffed team inclusive of business development and data analy�cs professionals.

HOW WILL WE GET THERE?

There are many components that go into developing a successful supplier diversity program. Defined strategies are denoted below that will ensure streamlined supplier diversity ini�a�ves are implemented across the University of South Florida System.

Policy Development The following policy has been developed and is pending approval from USF System leadership that defines the primary objec�ves of the USF System Supplier Diversity Program and defines the benefits of the program for the university, the employees and community stakeholders. It is essen�al that this policy is endorsed by top level leadership including USF President Judy Gensha�, Board of Trustees Chairman, Brian Lamb, John W. Long, Chief Opera�ng Officer and Nick Trivunovich, Chief Financial Officer.

*Suggested Language for USF System Supplier Diversity Policy (Pending Approval):

As the University of South Florida continues to grow, greater business opportunities exist for minority-, women- and veteran-owned businesses. We believe that forging lasting relationships with a diverse supplier base contributes to economic progress, and strengthens our community.

In an effort to continually promote the participation of diverse business across the USF System, the following policy has been established and is effective (TBD).

All USF System Administration, Faculty & Staff are required to make a “good faith” effort in the utilization of diverse which includes minority-, women- and veteran-owned

Strategic Initiatives Committee Meeting - New Business - Information Items

businesses in all sourcing initiatives and purchasing events at all levels including PCard purchases to assist the USF System in increasing actual spend with diverse owned suppliers. To gauge diverse business utilization system wide, spend reports by department and individual PCard spend will be monitored and reported to the USF President’s Office semi-annually. In addition, standard boilerplate diverse business utilization language (Appendix G) is required to be included in all USF contracts system wide in the purchase of any goods, professional services, supplies or construction services.

This initiative benefits the university, our employees and community stakeholders by creating competition which drives higher quality products, a larger variety of selections and better pricing. It also creates a platform for job creation, workforce diversity and overall economic growth in the footprint of the USF System.

In an effort to support this policy, the USF Office of Supplier Diversity has been established and is available to assist system wide in support of this initiative.

Good Faith Effort Defined: USF defines a “good faith effort” as being what a reasonable person would determine is a diligent and honest effort under the same set of facts or circumstances."

(Note: Targeted date for policy implementation system wide is October 1, 2017)

Alignment of Supplier Diversity Program with USF System Goals

USF System Wide Goals: • Afford student access, learning, and success through a vibrant, interdisciplinary,

and learner-centered research environment incorpora�ng a global curriculum;

• Provide an environment in which research and scien�fic discovery strengthens the economy, promotes civic culture and the arts, and to design and build sustainable communi�es through the genera�on, dissemina�on, and transla�on of new knowledge across all academic and health-related disciplines;

Marke�ng and Communica�ons Plan Development In an effort to promote the USFOSD, a 2017-18 Marke�ng and Communica�ons Plan has been developed (Appendix A) that encompasses the strategy, schedule and outline that will be u�lized to promote the USF Supplier Diversity program internally and externally.

From an internal standpoint, this includes communica�on to help internal USF Administra�on, Faculty and Staff understand the importance of the program and the importance of their par�cipa�on. From an external standpoint, the USF Office of Supplier Diversity is charged with communica�ng to USF suppliers about the University’s commitment to use diverse suppliers but also communica�ng that we are looking for best value, quality and service that will benefit the university as a whole.

This plan also references a strategy to retool the USFOSD website, collateral materials and the launch of a new social media pla�orm which will include Twiter, Instagram and Face Book.

These strategies, once implemented, will serve as a communica�ons tool for the diverse business community who is looking for addi�onal informa�on on opportuni�es and how to do business with USF. Also available will be informa�on on upcoming events, industry informa�on and will serve as a clearinghouse for other informa�on available to aid in business growth.

Internal USF Faculty, Administra�on and Staff can use the aforemen�oned resources to learn more about supplier diversity and to find qualified vendors to use in their procurement efforts.

Strategic Program Implementa�on

Crea�on of specific short-, mid-, and long-term program goals. These goals are denoted in the sec�on en�tled, “Road Map to Success” and are essen�al for program implementa�on. The goals are strategic and include educa�onal tools and resources and the u�liza�on of incen�ves to drive system wide program success.

In conjunc�on with USF Purchasing, ac�vely procure and/or develop a spend analy�cs tool to gauge actual spend and track contract compliance with diverse suppliers on all system contracts and sourcing events. This system will assist the USFOSD in developing solu�ons and tracking key performance indicators as program success is measured and should include the following capabili�es:

• User-friendly design with a repor�ng format that allows Tier 1 suppliers to

report Sub-contractor/Tier 2 u�liza�on • Ability to upload diverse spend data directly into system • Ability to validate Tier 1 and Tier 2 Supplier cer�fica�on status • Ability to capture and view data by colleges and department purchases by

category • Capability to conduct contract compliance audits verifying supplier spend detail

ROAD MAP TO SUCCESS

The following section of the 2017-18 USFOSD Strategic Plan layout short-term, mid-term and long term program goals and objectives.

Short-term – 0-12 Months

USFOSD Short term goals are goals that will be accomplished within the first 12 months of program implementa�on. The purpose of these short term goals are to establish a programma�c founda�on on which to build upon con�nuously over the next 5 years throughout program development.

For a full listing of projected Short-term goals, see Appendix C

Mid-term – 1-3 Years

USFOSD Mid-term goals, have been iden�fied and are achievable and specific. The implementa�on of the mid-term goals included in this plan require a financial commitment from the USF System and may take some �me to ul�mately achieve. The USF System Administra�on has commited to establishing a dedicated program and these Mid-term goals will assist in the further implementa�on of a fully successful supplier diversity program.

For a full listing of projected Mid-term Goals, see Appendix D

that support business development amongst diverse firms.

17. Diverse firms are eager to do business with the USF System and these firms, community and partner organizations are requesting assistance in understanding the USF System procurement process.

18. There are requests from diverse firms for information that can assist them in securing contracts with the USF System as well as an interest in the formation of new partnerships with organizations that serve diverse businesses like the USF Small Business Development Center, The Florida State Minority Supplier Development Council, WBENC, the Small Business Administration, the National Association of Women Business Owners, the State of Florida Office of Supplier Diversity, the City of Tampa, City of St. Petersburg, City of Sarasota.

Threats:

1. The narrow definition of diversity in terms of race, gender and veteran status may negatively impact the supplier diversity initiative. There is a growing belief among some within the USF System that economic diversity should play a role as well. For example, a white business owner from a poor family background who started their business after a spell of incarceration probably deserves to be considered more than a privileged woman owned business.

2. The fact that stakeholders are expected to report information that is already available within the purchasing department may lead to some of them seeing this as yet another example of administrative busy work. This is especially true for USF St Pete and USF Sarasota-Manatee, which have far fewer administrative staff than USF Tampa.

3. The absence of a clear incentive structure for P-card holders as far as supplier diversity is concerned may make it difficult to ensure that the initiative gains full traction.

4. The initiative may interfere with other supplier related initiatives, such as initiatives to strengthen relationships

5. Position statement: This statement describes the USFOSD program focus and how it benefits our target audience.

The USFOSD works to continue the implementation of a proactive business strategy that provides all suppliers equal access to sourcing and purchasing opportunities. This affords the USF System access to vendors who are proving they can provide better pricing, products and service offerings than larger competitors in most cases. This helps USFs supply chain better reflect the demographics of our community and creates a platform for economic growth and development for the Tampa Bay Region.

6. Marketing strategies: This is a general outline of planned marketing and communication strategies for the USFOSD and how materials be distributed.

Outreach Events

The USFOSD will participate in supplier diversity trade shows and other outreach events that target the MBE, WBE and VBE communities. These events provide an opportunity for the USF System to promote the services and mission; the values and benefits of certification; and matchmaking opportunities between prime and subcontractors. The USFOSD informational brochure and upcoming bi-monthly newsletter publications will be available at tradeshow booths along with information about upcoming opportunities within the USF System. In addition, USFOSD staff will participate in national supplier diversity events and trainings to increase visibility and have a better understanding of what is trending across the country in supplier diversity which could ultimately impact the program from a legal perspective.

Educational Workshops

The USFOSD will host workshops system wide to promote opportunities and more visibility into successfully submitting bids for USF System procurements. The USFOSD will also work with local organizations and partnering entities to offer and participate in workshops across Florida that provides educational training sessions to assist business owners in sustainability and growth efforts. In addition, the USFOSD in the future will utilize webinars to provide training content in an effort to reach larger audiences across the state of Florida in a more effective manner.

Paid Advertisements

7. Implementation: This section outlines how the USFOSD will implement our plan and tie promotion strategies to objectives.

A calendar of proposed events has also been included to assist in the summarization of how the USFOSD plans to implement this plan.

The USFOSD has and continues to develop marketing collateral to expose Florida MBE, WBE and VBE firms to relevant supplier diversity information and resources that will assist them in growing their businesses. These initiatives facilitate relationships between prime contractors and certified subcontractors to assist the USF System in increasing the utilization of diverse businesses. Special Events Special events and trade shows will be paid for by the USF System however, an effort will be made by the USFOSD to engage private and corporate event sponsors. Press releases for each planned event will be disseminated to the media via the USF System Marketing and Communications Department and posted on the USF System calendar of events. Events will also be promoted in the USFOSD e-newsletter, social media accounts as well as to strategic partners across the state of Florida. Resource Guides A USFOSD resource guide is under development and will be printed for use at larger business development, tradeshows and outreach events. Informational Brochure A new USFOSD tri-fold brochure will be designed and printed for distribution at workshops and trade shows. About 5000 brochures are needed to support the full fiscal year of outreach events. NOTE: We currently have some brochures and will continue to utilize the current stock through FY17. As of FY18 all old brochures will be destroyed and the newly designed brochures will be used. Promotional Items The USFOSD will procure uniform shirts for staff to wear when participating in supplier diversity events. This creates uniformity and brand awareness to the business community and other supplier diversity professionals across the state of Florida. In addition a variety of promotional items will be procured to support internal employee educational programs.

Issue: Understanding and Navigating Institutional Rankings at USF Tampa. ________________________________________________________________ Proposed action: Information only ________________________________________________________________ Executive Summary: Given the worldwide proliferation of rankings or “league tables” across the contemporary higher education sector, it is essential for university leadership to be able to identify and understand those rankings that hold greatest significance for USF Tampa, how they align with the university’s strategic goals, and what can and should be done to improve USF Tampa’s standing over time? This high level overview will differentiate between classification systems and rankings in higher education, with a primary focus on select institution-wide rankings identified by the Florida State Legislature and Florida Board of Governors for Preeminence Metric 2: Public University National Ranking:

Why Focus on Rankings?Potential advantages: • Rankings inform enrollment decisions for students, and influence parents’ perceptions• Rankings affect faculty recruitment• Rankings (and metrics) affect state and private funding• Rankings reflect perceived institutional reputation and sometimes shape reputation• When used strategically, rankings (and associated indicators) can lead to values-based

institutional improvement

Potential disadvantages:• Rankings carry embedded biases of the methodology used• Metrics used for specific rankings may be incompatible with institutional strategic goals• No single ranking will encompass all institutional objectives, leaving potentially significant

areas underemphasized

Conclusions

11USF TAMPA

∑ USF’s national and global rankings are essential to building reputation, recruiting world class student and faculty talent, and institutional funding (including philanthropy and research investments),

∑ We must align national and global rankings with USF’s strategic goals whenever possible,

∑ USF’s recent gains in national and global rankings have been driven, in large part, by improvements in student success,

∑ We must not “game the system” but rather foster positive long-term strategic impact on the university’s broader ecosystem,

∑ Brand recognition and reputation by peers represents the greatest challenge to enhancing USF’s national and global rankings,

∑ We are developing models, based on sophisticated data analysis, to predict the impact of strategic institutional action on gains in selected rankings, and

∑ Our emphasis on selected rankings must positively impact the broader university ecosystem.
