  • Annual Report to the Board of Trustees on the State of the University
    Annual Report to the Board of Trustees on the State of the University Alan W. Cramb, President October 24, 2019 PRESIDENT’S INTRODUCTION As we reflect back on the past year, we are proud of the accomplishments of our students, faculty, and staff, and the progress we have made as an institution on a global scale. This past fiscal year witnessed the largest class of incoming first-year students in three decades. Under the leadership of Peter Kilpatrick in his first year as provost, the university has continued to expand its academic offerings, which includes developing the first undergraduate degree in artificial intelligence in the Midwest. We also welcomed the addition of four new deans, within the College of Architecture, College of Science, Chicago-Kent College of Law, and the Graduate College. We are confident in their abilities to further capitalize on this forward academic momentum. We also opened the first new academic building on our historic Mies Campus in more than 40 years, the Ed Kaplan Family Institute for Innovation and Tech Entrepreneurship. In less than six months it was named one of the 15 best new event spaces in the city by Crain’s Chicago Business. In October former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Senator Dick Durbin, Congressman Bobby Rush, and donors Ed Kaplan (ME ’65) and his wife, Carol, helped to unveil the new facility, designed to enhance and expand the activities of Illinois Tech’s longstanding Interprofessional Projects (IPRO) Program, its Entrepreneurship Academy, the Jules F. Knapp Entrepreneurship Center, the Grainger Maker Space, and the Janet & Craig Duchossois Idea Shop, under the leadership of executive director and serial entrepreneur Howard Tullman.

  • Annual Report to the Board of Trustees on the State of the University
    Annual Report to the Board of Trustees on the State of the University John L. Anderson, President October 3, 2013 2013 Summary BUDGET AND FINANCE The university met its FY13 budget targets and strengthened the financial stability achieved in FY12. Total net tuition continued to grow (4% from FY12), retention of faculty and staff was bolstered with a merit-pool salary increase, and depreciation was partially funded ($4M) for capital renewal. The first payments to reduce the university’s outstanding long-term debt principal were made according to schedule in FY13, though the acceleration of these payments in the coming years will increase pressure on net operations. Financial ratios continued to show improvement; however, the balance sheet is still heavily influenced by the volatility of the investment markets. The endowment grew due to deposits from fundraising and market appreciation. Through the sale of a parcel of land in Chicago’s West Loop (net $5.7M), we reduced the balance of an outstanding loan from the endowment to $1.8M, which we plan to retire through net operations over the next several years. The draw on the endowment (average of the previous 12 quarters) was 6.1%, including the Board-approved special distribution (1.4%) allocated to fund the fundraising campaign. The university’s credit ratings were reaffirmed by Moody’s and Fitch. on the State of the University the of State the on STUDENT, FACULTY, AND ACADEMIC INITIATIVES Enrollments remained strong with 892 new undergraduate and 1,817 new graduate students. Annual Report to the Board of Trustees of Board Report the to Annual In fall 2013, 2,714 full-time undergraduate students were enrolled, the largest full-time undergraduate enrollment since 1981.
