Deloitte Consulting has announced three business cases to consider for implementation during the next state Board of Regents meeting.

This comes in an update with the TIER program, the transformation and efficiency study of Iowa’s public universities.

The company released a PowerPoint presentation detailing the cases, which included establishing a clear policy for the professional and scientific staff search-committee size and structure, creating a common application portal, and standardizing “manual” calculation of the Regent Admission Index.

The regents have to vote to approve the implementation, although they are not expected to contract with Deloitte for additional services. These particular cases can be implemented by the University of Iowa.

The regents will meet today and Wednesday.
