Academic Planning

In the spring of 2005, the Committee of Academic Deans (CAD) determined that the university needed an academic development plan. A sub-committee of CAD developed a template to guide and shape the plans to be developed by individual Faculties, Graduate Studies and related academic support divisions -- Information Technology Services, the Library, Student Services, and Research Services. These plans were developed during the summer and fall of 2005.

On December 12, 2005, the Committee, augmented by the heads of the related academic support divisions, met for an all-day retreat. The purpose of the exercise was to review the individual plans, identify common threads and themes, and begin the process of weaving them into an integrated whole. Subsequent to that meeting, the Deans revised and refined the individual Faculty plans.

The individual plans are listed and may be accessed directly or downloaded in PDF format.
