On June 9, 2005, the Board of Governors adopted the State University System of Florida Strategic Plan 2005-2013. This plan provides for a systematic and ongoing evaluation of the quality and effectiveness of state universities. As established in the Strategic Plan, goals for the system for 2012-2013 include: Goal 1: Access to and production of degrees; Goal 2: Meeting statewide professional and workforce needs; Goal 3: Building world-class academic programs and research capacity; and Goal 4: Meeting community needs and fulfilling unique institutional responsibilities. The Board will work with universities to establish parallel goals that reflect each institution's appropriate level of participation in the statewide plan. While the goals are specific, the Board's intention is to provide broad flexibility in developing plans to achieve them. The Board will support universities' efforts and provide leadership when progress toward goals requires funding, state-level policies, or collaboration with other agencies. In addition to the statewide goals, each institution will adopt additional, measurable goals consistent with its distinctive mission. Once these are approved by the Board of Governors, the Board will provide support to universities in their efforts to make progress toward important institutional as well as statewide goals.
