The University Planning Council (UPC) is appointed and charged by the president of the university each year. The UPC plays a custodial role in reviewing the Action and Assessment Plan, the university’s strategic plan. An annual Report Card, which measures progress on a set of key measures, is assessed annually to ensure that progress is being made toward the specific goals presented in the plan. The UPC submits its recommendations to the president for review and approval as the plan is updated.
The UPC undertakes its work during the spring semester each year, in order to update the plan in anticipation of the annual budget process that is launched the following fall semester.
