1he SupporL Servlce 1ransformaLlon 1ask lorce was charged wlLh asslgnlng each of Lhe admlnlsLraLlve
and academlc supporL servlces dellvered by Lhe unlverslLy Lo one of flve qulnLlles: 1. CandldaLe for
enhanced resourclng, 2. MalnLaln wlLh currenL resourclng, 3. 8eLaln wlLh reduced resourclng, 4.
8econflgure for efflclency/effecLlveness, or 3. CandldaLe for phase ouL, sub[ecL Lo furLher revlew.
AsslgnmenLs were based on slx crlLerla: 1. lmporLance Lo Lhe unlverslLy, 2. lnLernal demand, 3. LxLernal
demand, 4. CuallLy, 3. CosL effecLlveness, and 6. CpporLunlLy analysls. Lach supporL servlce was
descrlbed ln Lerms of Lhese crlLerla ln a Lask-force-deslgned LemplaLe compleLed by Lhe respecLlve
admlnlsLraLlve and academlc unlLs.

Cver a perlod of approxlmaLely Lhree-monLhs, Lhe Lask force revlewed nearly 400 LemplaLes. lLs
observaLlons and recommendaLlons form Lhe basls of Lhls reporL. 1he qulnLlle asslgnmenLs and
assoclaLed supporL-servlce-speclflc commenLs are presenLed ln Lhe appendlces Lo Lhls reporL. 1he maln
body of Lhe reporL comprlses Lwo ma[or secLlons - a descrlpLlon of processes and procedures
employed by Lhe Lask force, and a serles of broader observaLlons and recommendaLlons.

1he amounLs of Lhe operaLlng budgeL asslgned Lo each of Lhe qulnLlles were $34 mllllon, $33 mllllon,
$33 mllllon, $43 mllllon and $16 mllllon for qulnLlles 1, 2, 3, 4 and 3, respecLlvely. AL Lhe ouLseL of Lhe
process, lL was anLlclpaLed LhaL equal proporLlons of Lhe operaLlng budgeL would be allocaLed Lo each
qulnLlle. Powever, lL soon became clear LhaL Lhe process of forclng supporL servlces lnLo qulnLlles Lo
achleve an equal allocaLlon Lo each qulnLlle compromlsed Lhe declslon-maklng processes of Lhe Lask
force. lL warranLs menLlon LhaL asslgnmenL Lo a parLlcular qulnLlle was noL a commenLary on Lhe
performance of Lhose dellverlng Lhe servlce. CulnLlle ranklngs reflecLed prlorlLy wlLh respecL Lo Lhe
unlverslLy's mlsslon of Leachlng, research and ouLreach. uemand, apparenL cosL effecLlveness,
admlnlsLraLlve sLrucLure, and Lhe quallLy and magnlLude of ouLcomes were key conslderaLlons ln Lhe
Lask force's declslons.

As menLloned, Lhe Lask force has commenLed brlefly on many of Lhe supporL servlces revlewed.
CommenLs were noL provlded on many of Lhe supporL servlces asslgned Lo CulnLlle 2 as Lhls was
deemed noL Lo be necessary. Cur general observaLlons on recurrlng Lhemes observed durlng revlew of
Lhe LemplaLes are as lmporLanL as commenLs on lndlvldual supporL servlces. 8eaders of Lhls reporL are
encouraged Lo revlew Lhe secLlon where Lhese Lhemes are dlscussed, as Lhe Len Lhemes ldenLlfled are
summarlzed only brlefly here.

ln Lhe oplnlon of Lhe Lask force:

1he unlverslLy should revlew Lhe exlsLlng balance beLween servlces dellvered and accessed
cenLrally, and Lhose dellvered wlLhln unlLs. 1hls balance wlll dlffer dependlng on Lhe naLure of
Lhe supporL servlce, as someLlmes lL ls more efflclenL Lo dellver a servlce cenLrally whereas ln
oLher slLuaLlons lL ls more efflclenL, lf noL essenLlal, Lo dellver Lhe servlce aL Lhe local level. 1he
unlverslLy musL deLermlne Lhe approprlaLe balance of servlce dellvery for each supporL servlce,




University of Saskatchewan Report of the Support Service Transformation Task Force Page 6 of 95
and musL also ensure Lhe approprlaLe naLure and level of cenLral overslghL and coordlnaLlon of
servlces dellvered locally.

Cver Llme, Lhe unlverslLy has developed a deep admlnlsLraLlve layer. 1hls compllcaLed
organlzaLlonal sLrucLure ls noL only expenslve buL has resulLed ln an lnequlLy of roles, reporLs
and responslblllLles ln admlnlsLraLlve poslLlons aL Lhe same level, reporLlng sLrucLures LhaL lack
Lransparency and are lnefflclenL, and dlffuse accounLablllLles. 1he Lask force appreclaLes LhaL
admlnlsLraLlve growLh has ln parL been ln response Lo demands placed on Lhe unlverslLy from
ouLslde. Powever, we seem Lo have been qulck Lo add new admlnlsLraLlve poslLlons Lo our
hlsLorlc sLrucLure over Llme wlLhouL ln some cases adequaLe conslderaLlon of sLrucLural and
organlzaLlonal changes LhaL would lmprove efflclency and effecLlveness.

1he unlverslLy has recognlzed Lhe need for lncreased supporL for researchers lf lL ls Lo become a
Lruly research lnLenslve lnsLlLuLlon. Powever, lL ls anyLhlng buL clear wheLher Lhe very large
lnvesLmenL Lhe unlverslLy has made ln admlnlsLraLlve supporLs has achleved Lhe deslred effecLs.
1he Lask force observed lnequlLles ln research supporL for academlc unlLs, overlap and
dupllcaLlon of roles of unlLs wlLh respecL Lo flnanclal servlces and communlcaLlons, lack of
clarlLy wlLh respecL Lo cenLral vs. unlL level supporL, and a pauclLy of meLrlcs and mechanlsms Lo
deLermlne Lhe lmpacL of our lnvesLmenLs ln research supporL.

A slgnlflcanL number of Lhe supporL servlces on campus are funded Lhrough cosL recovery, l.e.
fee-for-servlce, ln comblnaLlon wlLh dlrecL operaLlng budgeL supporL. Much of Lhls revenue
derlves from Lransfers of operaLlng budgeL from servlce reclplenLs Lo servlce provlders. As a
resulL, Lhe unlverslLy expends a loL of resources on movlng money around". erhaps [usL as
lmporLanL, Lhls ablllLy-Lo-pay model dlsadvanLages unlLs wlLh real needs buL no ablllLy Lo pay.
1he Lask force recognlzes Lhe role of fee-for-servlce ln raLlonlng servlces. Powever, lL
encourages Lhe unlverslLy Lo underLake a comprehenslve revlew of supporL servlces funded
subsLanLlally by Lransfer of Lhe operaLlng budgeL and deLermlne, ln each case, Lhe proper
balance of dlrecL operaLlng budgeL supporL and cosL recovery. ln some cases, lL may be more
efflclenL Lo fund an enLlre servlce dlrecLly from Lhe operaLlng budgeL and reallze a concomlLanL
lmprovemenL ln access Lo servlce.

A number of unlLs generaLe slgnlflcanL operaLlng revenues from exLernal sources. ln many
cases, Lhls ls enLlrely approprlaLe. Powever, lL ls lmporLanL Lo ldenLlfy Lhose slLuaLlons where
provldlng servlces Lo exLernal cllenLs reduces avallablllLy of Lhe servlce Lo lnLernal users, where
revenues generaLed may be used by unlLs Lo supporL acLlvlLles whlch are noL well allgned wlLh
unlverslLy prlorlLles, or where Lhe unlverslLy ls compeLlng unfalrly wlLh prlvaLe secLor vendors
who have Lo cover Lhe overhead cosLs of Lhelr operaLlons.

1he unlverslLy has placed a hlgh prlorlLy on Lhe developmenL of supporL servlces for Aborlglnal
sLudenLs. 1he Lask force ls fully supporLlve of Lhe unlverslLy conLlnulng Lo LargeL operaLlng funds
Lo acLlvlLles relaLed Lo recrulLmenL of Aborlglnal sLudenLs and Lhelr academlc success, buL ls of
Lhe oplnlon LhaL much could be done Lo lmprove Lhe coordlnaLlon of such acLlvlLles, Lo reduce

overlap and dupllcaLlon of servlces, and Lo lmprove ouLcomes. 1he unlverslLy ls encouraged Lo
revlew Lhe hosL of supporL servlces lL now provldes Lo Aborlglnal sLudenLs ln mulLlple academlc
and admlnlsLraLlve unlLs wlLh a vlew Lo bulldlng on currenL successes wlLhouL prollferaLlon of
admlnlsLraLlon.

1he unlverslLy engages ln ouLreach ln many ways, some dlrecL and some lndlrecL. 1he Lask force
recommends LhaL Lhe unlverslLy underLake a revlew of lLs broad array of ouLreach acLlvlLles,
wlLh a vlew Lo prlorlLlzlng Lhese acLlvlLles. ComponenLs of Lhls revlew would lnclude
conslderaLlon of complex lssues such as revlslLlng Lhe unlverslLy's phllosophy on operaLlng
budgeL supporL for Puskle aLhleLlcs and Lhe apparenL lnequlLles of dlrecLlng fundlng Lo sLudenL
aLhleLes vs. oLher sLudenL groups, Lhe dellvery of malnly communlLy-dlrecLed programs Lhrough
Lhe CenLre for ConLlnulng & ulsLance LducaLlon (CCuL), and Lhe esLabllshmenL of communlLy-
based saLelllLe operaLlons such as Lhe SaskaLoon WesL denLal cllnlc. 1he revlew also would
address relaLlvely slmple lssues such as Lhe exLenL of Lhe unlverslLy's lnvesLmenL ln exLernal
communlcaLlons and lLs supporL for alumnl acLlvlLles.

LssenLlal Lo lncreaslng research lnLenslveness and enrolmenL goals aL Lhe unlverslLy ls Lhe
aLLracLlon and reLenLlon of greaLer numbers of graduaLe sLudenLs and posL-docLoral

lncludlng LargeLed recrulLmenL, processlng of appllcaLlons, allocaLlon of graduaLe awards and
famlllarlzaLlon of lnLernaLlonal sLudenLs, appear Lo be fragmenLed and plecemeal. ueslgn and
lmplemenLaLlon of a more coordlnaLed and Lherefore effecLlve approach Lo graduaLe sLudenL

8elaLed Lo Lhe above Lheme ls Lhe level of supporL avallable for lnLernaLlonal sLudenLs aL Lhe
unlverslLy. SupporL servlces dlrecLed Lo lnLernaLlonal undergraduaLe and graduaLe sLudenLs

naLure, level and quallLy of supporL servlces provlded Lo lnLernaLlonal sLudenLs. Cnly ln Lhls way
can Lhe unlverslLy successfully compeLe for lnLernaLlonal sLudenLs.

L. rocess for De||berat|on

1he general approach used by Lhe Lask force ln prlorlLlzlng supporL servlces was as follows:

! 1ask force members lndependenLly revlewed each supporL servlce LemplaLe and provlded
scores and voLes uslng a secure onllne sysLem.

! 1he Lask force developed a scorlng rubrlc Lo provlde members wlLh addlLlonal guldance ln
placlng supporL servlces lnLo qulnLlles. 1he rubrlc ls lncluded as Appendlx l.

! 1ask force members' voLes were collecLed uslng a secure onllne form developed for Lhls
purpose.

! When Lhe Lask force meL, Lhe prellmlnary voLes and scores were provlded Lo Lhe group as
lnformaLlon. lf Lhere was 73 per cenL agreemenL on a qulnLlle, Lhen Lhe supporL servlce would
proceed dlrecLly Lo a voLe, aL Llmes wlLh some prellmlnary dlscusslon or commenLs. ln all oLher
cases, Lhe Lask force would dellberaLe prlor Lo holdlng a voLe. When a voLe was called, Lhe
supporL servlce was consldered for each of Lhe qulnLlles ln Lurn, unLll Lhere was 73 per cenL
supporL of Lhe full Lask force. lf a voLe passed, Lhe Lask force moved on Lo conslder Lhe nexL
supporL servlce. When a voLe was called and Lhere was noL 73 percenL agreemenL by Lhe full
Lask force Lo place a supporL servlce ln a speclflc qulnLlle, Lhe dellberaLlon would conLlnue. ln a
small number of cases when agreemenL could noL be reached, Lhe lLem was deferred Lo a
subsequenL meeLlng. ApproxlmaLely 40 LemplaLes were revlewed aL each meeLlng.

1he Lask force was orlglnally advlsed LhaL lL would need Lo place supporL servlces ln qulnLlle 3 when lL
was lmposslble Lo arrlve aL a ma[orlLy voLe, l.e. Lhe defaulL for a supporL servlce wlLhouL 73 per cenL
supporL ln any qulnLlle would be qulnLlle 3. 1he Lask force found Lhls approach lnapproprlaLe and lL
was noL used. 8aLher, each supporL servlce consldered was voLed lnLo a speclflc qulnLlle wlLh aL leasL
73 per cenL supporL of Lhe Lask force.

SupporL servlces were consldered lndependenLly of each oLher and ln random order. nelLher unlLs nor
funcLlons were consldered as a group.

lollowlng Lhe lnlLlal ranklng of all supporL servlces, Lhe Lask force re-consldered all supporL servlces ln
qulnLlles LhaL held more Lhan 20 per cenL of Lhe operaLlng budgeL. WlLh Lhe agreemenL of 73 per cenL
of Lhe Lask force, some supporL servlces were moved Lo dlfferenL qulnLlles whlch resulLed ln a more
unlform dlsLrlbuLlon of supporL servlces among qulnLlles.

A slgnlflcanL challenge faclng Lhe Lask force was Lhe relevance and usefulness of daLa avallable.
arLlcular challenges lncluded:
! Lhe mosL recenL daLa avallable comprehenslvely was for 2011-12, whlch was nearly a year ouL
of daLe when dellberaLlons began,
! some unlLs had been slgnlflcanLly re-organlzed, whlch reduced Lhe value of hlsLorlcal daLa,
! workforce plannlng had affecLed many supporL servlces, and Lhese changes were explalned or
reflecLed Lo varlous degrees ln Lhe LemplaLes. ln some cases, boLh workforce plannlng and re-
sLrucLurlng had lmpacLed Lhe supporL servlce.

ln all cases, Lhe Lask force used lLs [udgemenL and besL efforLs Lo prlorlLlze Lhe supporL servlce ln lLs

lurLher, Lhe Lask force observed a need for beLLer coordlnaLlon and sharlng of lnformaLlon beLween

1here has been a subsLanLlal lncrease ln Lhe number of senlor leadershlp poslLlons ln boLh academlc

lurLher, Lhere appears Lo be lnconslsLency ln Lhe deflnlLlon of revenue generaLlon and ln how revenues
are accounLed for on behalf of Lhe unlverslLy. Some supporL servlces generaLe gross revenue, apply

1he lack of clarlLy or conslsLency makes lL dlfflculL Lo undersLand lf Lhere ls a neL flnanclal beneflL Lo Lhe

1he Lask force suggesLs LhaL Lhe full cosL of revenue generaLed musL be Laken lnLo accounL lncludlng all

1he Lask force found lLself asklng how much ouLreach ls enough, whaL Lhe full cosL of LhaL ouLreach ls,
