• UB2020 called out interdisciplinary work as a focus area as in previous slide)

• We have successfully invested in multidisciplinary programs

• The core concept is that we will have greater impact when we work on large problems requiring many disciplines

• Strength in multidisciplinary efforts thus depends on strength of disciplines

• Does UB have that strength?

LESSONS

• Scholarly productivity and reputation drive institutional and professional school ranking

- Quantitative measures are important for institutional ranking- How we submit data makes a difference to how we are ranked

• Reputation of many UB disciplines is not strong- Disciplinary reputation is significant in institutional reputation

‘-

35

QUESTIONS

• What is needed to build UB’s disciplinary strength and productivity?

• What strategies and tactics should we attempt to build UB’s reputation among our peers?

‘-

36

NEXT STEPS

Deans and the Provost—Identify and invest in strategies that build strength and reputation

The Entire University—Determine all means to build university visibility

‘-

37

OBSERVATION

• UB institutional rankings are improving while our subject rankings are declining

• Rankings outcome are a function of:

o Improving institutional outcomes AND

o Managing the rankings submission in a highly disciplined manner
