Title: Environmental Assessment
1Environmental Assessment
- University of Illinois
- Office for Planning and BudgetingDecember 2006
2Environmental Assessment Purpose and Process
- The purpose of an environmental assessment is to
support and inform the strategic planning
process. A good environmental assessment will
help an organization understand and respond
effectively to changes in their environments.1 - This environmental assessment provides
information on demographics, higher education,
economic and budgetary matters, research,
technology, and economic development, the
political landscape, and the related
implications, opportunities, and challenges for
the University of Illinois. - This version of the University of Illinois
environmental assessment has been updated and
expanded from the analysis that was initially
developed in March 2005 to set a context for the
Universitys strategic planning framework. In
addition to updating source data for many of the
charts and graphs originally included,
information has also been added on the topics of
global competitiveness in higher education
participation, completion, and attainment,
energy, online education, and the impacts of the
aging population. - Because the external environment in which the
University of Illinois operates is continually
changing, the environmental assessment will be
updated and refined periodically to reflect the
most recent available information on key
opportunities and challenges facing the
University. - Feedback on the usefulness of the environmental
assessment and suggestions for improvement are
welcome and encouraged. Please direct any
comments or questions to the University Office
for Planning and Budgeting (UOPB) via e-mail to
envscan_at_uillinois.edu.

20DemographicsImplications for the University of
Illinois
- Illinois will experience slight population growth
in coming years. - As with the rest of the U.S., Illinois
population will become more diverse and the
Hispanic population will grow faster than any
other segment. - The proportion of African-American students at
UIC and UIUC grew slightly after a period of
decline, while the proportion of Hispanic
students has generally grown at all three
campuses in recent years. Pressure from
University stakeholders to enhance diversity
among students, staff, and faculty will continue.
- The over 50 population will grow rapidly. This
aging population will put increasing pressure on
social services and health care and may view
higher education as less of a priority in the
future. - A significant proportion of the Universitys
tenure/tenure-track faculty are age 55 or over
creating the potential for large numbers of
retirements in the near future.

32Higher EducationImplications for the University
of Illinois
- U.S. competitiveness in higher education
participation, completion, and attainment, while
still strong, is slipping relative to other
developed and developing nations. - The college age population will grow nationwide,
but this growth will vary greatly among regions.
The West, Southwest, and Southeast will
experience growth that will exceed capacity in
public higher education, although in general the
Midwest will not. - A larger percentage of women are attending higher
education than men and the gap is increasing. - Competition from proprietary institutions and
other non-traditional educational providers in
the marketplace for students (both nationally and
internationally) has greatly increased in recent
years. - Growth in faculty compensation at private
institutions has surpassed public universities,
and the intense competition for faculty will
continue. - Relatively flat incomes at the lower income
brackets in recent years will have implications
for tuition and financial aid policies
particularly with regard to promoting access for
low income and first-generation students. - Rapid technological innovation has led to a need
for lifelong learning that will allow individuals
to continuously adapt and update skills. On-line
instruction has grown rapidly in the last 10
years as it has gained mainstream acceptance due
to increasing internet access and innovations in
instructional technologies.

47Economy and BudgetImplications for the
University of Illinois
- The economic value of higher education to the
individual especially those with
post-baccalaureate degrees continues to grow. - The U.S. economy will continue to grow, but at a
slower rate. Health care costs continue to grow
at a more rapid rate than general inflation and
earnings which has an impact on both the national
economy and governmental spending at all levels. - The states fiscal situation, while somewhat
improved, faces continued challenges in the
coming years. Health care and pension obligation
costs are expected to continue rising rapidly and
will likely outpace any state revenue growth
realized resulting in continued constraints on
discretionary spending in the state budget
(e.g., higher education). - The state has greatly increased its debt burden
in the last four years creating a reluctance
among state policymakers to fund additional
capital improvements. At the same time, the
University must increasingly rely on internal
sources for funding capital projects which in
turn has contributed to increased debt service
levels. - The University has become more reliant on
multiple revenue streams and state policymakers
may interpret this trend as meaning the
University can more easily absorb reductions or
at least flat funding in the general
appropriation.

Brief Methodology Description The purpose of this
index is to show performance in the overall
commercialization pipeline, including all
research fields. The four criteria (outcome
measures) that factor into the overall score are
Patents Issued, Licenses Executed, Licensing
Income, and Startups. A weighted average of the
scores in these areas was computed. The
Licensing Income and Startups scores received the
highest weights since they are the most direct
outcome measures. The overall scores have been
re-benchmarked to 100 in order to form an index.

Illinois Renewable Energy Presence
- Wind is the worlds fastest growing energy
technology. - Illinois currently has 6 ethanol plants in
operation and 1 under construction. - Illinois corn is used to produce 40 of the
ethanol consumed in the U.S. - Investment by the ethanol industry in Illinois
exceeds 1 billion, generating 800 jobs in plant
operations and 4,000 jobs in the industry-related
service sector. - ADM is the largest producer of fuel ethanol in
the U.S. - UIs Renewable Energy Efforts
- UIUC will build 3 wind turbines on the South
Farms to provide electricity and serve as a
demonstration to farmers (2007). - UIUCs new business building will be its first
sustainable building, utilizing solar panels and
other clean technologies.
OECD Renewable Energy Growth
Illinois Nuclear Presence
- Illinois has 6 nuclear power plants, the largest
family of nuclear facilities in the Nation. - Over half of Illinois power is derived from
nuclear. - Illinois nuclear generation capacity is greater
than any other state and all but seven world
nations. - Illinois is also home to the Department of
Energys Argonne National Laboratory and Fermi
National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab). - Argonne has a long history of research and
development in nuclear reactor technology. - Fermilab conducts research on the frontier of
high energy physics and related disciplines. - University of Illinois faculty have a history of
collaboration with researchers at both facilities.
Page 57
58Research, Technology, Economic
DevelopmentImplications for the University of
Illinois
- Federal RD spending has slowed significantly in
recent years and this pattern is likely to
continue in the near term due to the slowing
economy and other significant pressures on the
federal budget (e.g., defense, homeland
security). - The bedrock of economic development through
research and technology commercialization are top
quality science and engineering faculty and
students. Intense competition for science and
faculty and students nationally and
internationally coupled with stagnant state and
federal funding will create serious challenges
for major research institutions such at the
University of Illinois as they attempt to
maintain and enhance the quality and
competitiveness of their research programs and
technology commercialization endeavors. - Land grant and other major research universities
are increasingly expected to have technology
transfer as a key part of their overall economic
development mission. The Universitys efforts in
this area have grown considerably in recent years
although many technical and competitive
opportunities (and challenges) remain. - Global interest in renewable energy sources will
continue to grow in the future due to the overall
increase in demand and continued concerns about
the cost and supply of fossil fuels and other
traditional energy sources. The University has
an opportunity to take a leadership role in
energy research and development given its
proximity to traditional (e.g., coal, nuclear)
and renewable (e.g., biomass, wind) energy
sources and its fundamental strengths in science
and engineering disciplines.

62Political LandscapeImplications for the
University of Illinois
- Higher education issues have traditionally been
state concerns, but Congress also has become much
more interested in issues related to higher
educations affordability and public
accountability. - Growing public concern over affordability and
recent legislation (e.g., Truth in Tuition)
will make major increases in tuition challenging
to achieve. - Congress is also interested in an array of issues
concerned with Homeland Security, which will have
implications for privacy and student issues. - The P-16 education continuum has been truncated
in the minds of many state policymakers and no
longer includes higher education there is,
however, a significant focus on issues related to
K-12 education and its financing. - While the University enjoys a broad base of
support within the General Assembly, the
dominance of other issues facing the state
legislature (e.g., health care, pensions, K-12
education) make it difficult to advance the
Universitys (or higher educations) interests. - There is growing interest at both the state and
national levels in creating complex data systems
that would provide policy makers and the general
public with detailed information on student
progress through the P-16 educational pipeline
and beyond to the work place.
