The Challenge for UT Dallas (Reported by Washington Advisory Group, 2004)
“The main obstacle that UTD faces in achieving its goals
relates to scale – UTD is simply too small in terms of the total
number of faculty in each disciplinary or sub-disciplinary area.”
“We believe that with continued progress, support from the
state, the UT System and private sources, and with strong
leadership, UTD could become a top tier research university
and fulfill the dreams of its founders.”
STAT E O F T H E U N I VER S I T Y | SEPT EM B ER 1 7 , 2 0 1 4
Keys to Accomplishing Our Goals
• Scale Up the University
– Increase student body to 25,000 FTE and 30,000 total students
(≈ 5% per year increase)
– Increase T/TT faculty to ≈ 800 - 1,000 members (≈ 5% per year)
– Add select degree programs, maintaining our focus but
becoming a complete university
• Sustain and Build Quality in All Aspects of University
Function
• Develop Strong Partnerships in DFW
– Focus on globally significant problems of great interest to local
businesses and organizations
