- Welcome and announcements
- Planning Council needs to reevaluate the strategic plan’s progress in light of COVID-19.
- Some terms are ending, and some members are finishing their second and final term.
- Discussion
- Jason Carter offered an update on Strategic Plan goal 1.2.2 (matching support for graduate research assistants (GRAs): REDG and Grad Dean are looking at current funding mechanisms and new ways to meet this goal and to make it sustainable year after year. Looking into all funding sources.
- A question arose whether some of these goals should be paused due to COVID. Chris will ask for volunteers to reach out to strategic planners and peers at other institutions to see how they are handling their strategic plan goals during the pandemic. Planning Council will revisit timelines in Fall.
- Tami Eitle accreditation update: working on mid-cycle accreditation report. A mid-October site visit is planned. We must demonstrate mission fulfilment, focused on student learning. The self-study will include assessment and action reports on several programs related to Intentional Focus 1. She may ask Planning Council to review some sections for the July meeting. Another group will determine level of mission fulfilment.
