We (Kentucky) face challenges
• Big challenges
• Structural challenges
• We will struggle for a while – next biennium budget will be ugly
(How is that for a forecast?)
In the words of that great philosopher, Lily Tomlin,“It’s going to get a lot worse before it gets worse.” 11
What’s all this have to do with UofL?
We are expected to help improve economic opportunity and quality
of life for Kentuckians (HB1 – 1997)
Law has not changed.

challenged –
To the contrary…

Despite cuts and other distractions,
we are making progress…
We are resilient

the class of 2009 – Continuing to outpace statewide averages in overall bar passage rates

We have far, far more to do despite the challenges!

1. Reengineer operations2. Convert underperforming assets to fully
performing assets3. Increase fundraising4. Expand clinical activities5. Develop partnerships6. Improve contract
research/commercializing7. Being creative (e.g. TIF)
But – we will have to do more!
How do we do this with cuts?

• Biggest dividends
• Minimized unit cuts
• Continue to leave “carry forward with Deans/VPs
but • We know…salaries/operating/etc.”
Some other thoughts…
29
1. We have been challenged, significantly challenged
2. But we have progress, significant progress
3. It isn’t going to get any easier – challenges are not going away
4. But we will stay focused and do the best we can
WHY?

“Trying to improve something when you don’t have a means of measurement and performance standards is likesetting out on a cross-country trip in a car without a fuelgauge. You can make calculated guesses and assumptionsbased on experience and observations, but without harddata, conclusions are based on insufficient evidence.
Mikel Harry, author of a good book on “Six Sigma.”
36
“Measurements that are not in service of an organizationalstrategy are worthless. So I would agree that if you aremeasuring for measurement’s sake, you are wasting time.Metrics should be aligned to an organizational vision.When they are, they tell you if you are headed in thedirection of fulfilling your strategy or not.
37
“Our scientific age demands that we provide definitions,measurements, and statistics in order to be taken seriously.Yet most of the important things in life cannot be preciselydefined or measured. Can we define or measure love,beauty, friendship or decency, for example?”
38
