He shares his thoughts on the future 1 IMS President’s Message of the institute: The IMS is extremely successful as a scientific society, 2 Members’ News: Trevor Hastie, David Anderson, mainly as a scientific publisher, and also with its Kathryn Chaloner; Book important conferences. The institute is also very cost series news effective, which results in quite low prices for its top journals. When I was editor of 3 National Medals of Science Probability Theory and Related Fields (PTRF), we were fighting with 4 ASA awards: Ray Carroll, Springer, its publisher, about lowering the high price Frank Harrell, Arnab Maity, of this journal, by arguing that the price per page of Christopher McMahan, PTRF surpassed that of the Annals of Probability by a Sastry Pantula, Madan Puri, factor of 17. This did make Springer knock it down; I Erwin Bolthausen Joshua Tebbs think the factor is now about five. 5 COPSS award nominations Although at present things in IMS are running perfectly, there may well be some problems in the future, and the Institute will do well to think about and prepare for a 6 Robert Adler: TOPOS part III number of potential issues ahead. I present here some personal thoughts on topics which 8 Medallion preview: Tilmann in my view are important. Gneiting; ENAR address The most severe problems that IMS will probably be faced with in the coming years David DeMets are to do with the rapid changes in the field of scientific publishing. Already income 9 Contribute to IMS from subscriptions is slowly decreasing, which, for the moment, can easily be offset by slight increases in our prices. The reason for this decrease in subscriptions seems evident 10 Obituary: Jagdish Rustagi and unavoidable: Formerly, many universities had more than one subscription, one for 11 Vlada’s Point: A Workshop the central library, and then another, or several more, for individual institutes. That is no 12 Recent papers: Statistical longer necessary. Science; Bernoulli Apart from this rather minor problem, there is a lot of insecurity about the further 13 Student Puzzle Corner 7 development of mathematical and statistical publishing, and of course publishing in sci- ence, generally. One has also to be aware that our situation considerably differs from that IMS meetings 15 in other fields of science, like in biology, where the relevance of a publication is decaying 18 Other meetings much faster than in our fields. Therefore, the experience of others is only of rather limited relevance for us. The one big problem we are facing is that, evidently, the journals nowa- 21 Employment Opportunities days are of much less relevance for the reader than they used to be.

There are many visions around how the system could change.

Another idea is that scientific publishing in its present http://bulletin.imstat.org form could be abandoned completely, and the refereeing process could be replaced by open electronic discussions, for instance in the arXiv.

    BOARD OF REGENTS AGENDA ITEM 5 STATE OF IOWA DECEMBER 9, 2010 REVISED (Pages 59-61) Contact: Diana Gonzalez PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ASSIGNMENT REQUESTS FOR FY 2012 Action Requested: Consider approval of the requests by the Regent universities for professional development assignments for FY 2012. Executive Summary: Each year, the Board of Regents is asked to approve faculty professional development assignments as specified in the Board Policy Manual §4.09. The universities request approval of 95 faculty professional development assignments for FY 2012. This represents a decrease of 12 (-11.2%) proposed professional development assignments from the prior year and the third consecutive decrease. A brief description of each proposed assignment is available in Attachment A (pages 6-32). A brief description of each professional development assignment completed in 2009-2010 is available in Attachment B (pages 33-59); this report provides information about the value added to the students, university, and state from the assignments, including more than $5.2 million of funds obtained through grant proposals and the submission of additional grant proposals. This report addresses the Board of Regents Strategic Plan priority on “educational excellence and impact.” Background: Institutional policies. Each university has academic policies that describe the process and requirements for professional development assignments. University of Iowa. Full-time faculty members with 9-month appointments who completed a minimum of 10 semesters of full-time academic service are eligible for an initial one-semester professional development assignment. Flexible load assignments may or may not be included in the 10 required semesters at the discretion of the college.
