To ensure that strategic objectives balance short- and longerterm
challenges and opportunities, each year the Dean’s
Council and NPAC identify priorities and associated resource
allocations required to achieve one-year targets. Then the
president and Board of Regents review this information in
the larger framework of progress toward addressing longerterm
challenges. In addition, during the SPP, a wide range of
student and stakeholder input (Figure 2.1-2) is gathered and
analyzed to ensure that all stakeholders’ needs are considered
and balanced. Suggestions for improvement and innovation
are gathered as part of ongoing stakeholder and faculty/staff
input; considered and prioritized during Step 2 of the SPP and as part of the resource allocation process; and addressed
through strategic objectives, action plans, and LIGHT
Scorecard measures (often under the Improvement category).
