\n\tThe project team for the Institute of Aviation is asked to examine whether Human Factors bachelors and masters degree programs remain viable, since these faculty members have been moved to other units.
\n\t\u201cShould the Institute of Aviation be discontinued?\u201d the letter asks.<\/p>\n
\t\u00a0The team will also look at whether the professional pilot program is sufficiently connected to the mission of the university, and whether the UI can partner with the Parkland College, which has a ground school.
\n\tThe team will ask look at whether changes in the institute would affect Willard Airport. The FAA monitors closely how many flights take off at airports.<\/p>\n

\n\tAn information technology team will research ways to cut costs at least $10 million over all three campuses.
\n\tThey\u2019re asked to what extent the IT function can be centralized or shared without diminishing the productivity of faculty, students or staff.
\n\t\u201cAre there opportunities to outsource part or all of the function or service?\u201d the letter asks.
\n\tCan the UI find external funding \u201cto jump-start\u201d functions that could attract new faculty and students.
\n\t\u00a0Outreach programs<\/strong>
\n\tThe team reviewing the Office of Vice Chancellor for Public Engagement will look at whether there are \u201cless costly means of enhancing public engagement\u201d and if these services could be handled at a lower level than a vice chancellor\u2019s office.
\n\tIt also asks whether the central Office of Corporate Relations adds value or creates conflict.
\n\tOther questions: Since the campus already has an Institute of Natural Resource Sustainability, does it also need an Office of Sustainability with a full-time director? Is there a critical need for the Illinois in Washington Program, a learning and internship initiative launched in 2006?<\/p>\n
\n\tAnother team will look at undergraduate financial aid. It\u2019s to study whether merit awards are recruiting the highest caliber of students.
\n\tThe team is also charged with looking at the possibility of replacing scholarships with other funding sources. <\/span>And it will examine whether proposed changes could damage the UI\u2019s ability to recruit a diverse student body.
