Recommendations from the committee to the president (Phase 3 Plan) - March 4, 2002

About these recommendations:

The various documents posted here are a set of recommendations from the University Planning Council, submitted for the president's consideration and in response to his charge. They have been developed over three months of intensive meetings, reviewing Phase-2 plans, considering campus feedback, and gathering independent institutional data from within the university and beyond.

All of these recommendations are broad in scope, and none contains full details of implementation. These would necessarily be developed in consultation with the affected organizations, in a later, implementation phase. Direct responses to individual Phase-2 plans are also not included here. These will be prepared by the UPC and directed to the president and to Phase-2 planners during the remainder of March and early April.

Over the coming two months, President Lilley will review these recommendations, consult with people inside and outside the university, and develop the university's Strategic Master Plan. Thus what you see here is not a final, "published" document that constitutes the strategic plan, but instead a kind of internal "office memo," with numerous segments. A guide to the various pieces, with links among them, is provided. The recommendations are posted here as part of the UPC's policy of keeping the planning process open.

Please respond with comments and questions through "PlanTalk," or through direct correspondence with the UPC at upc@unr.edu and please plan to attend the president's meetings to offer feedback. Your responses are part of the consultation needed for the planning process to be successful in moving the university to the "next level" and making it a stronger, more efficient institution. UPC recommendations have been shaped significantly by earlier communications we received through PlanTalk, through direct e-mail messages, from the Council of Deans, and from the Community Stakeholders Group. We anticipate that these recommendations will be further refined during the upcoming two-month consultation period.
