This document also provides additional information on academic and administrative recommendations for the Board to provide a more complete picture of how we recommend moving forward to achieve our aspiration. The academic recommendations include a continuing strong commitment to diversity, enhanced services to insure greater student success, improved undergraduate academic programs through enhanced honors and writing initiatives, strengthening the quality and support of our faculty, and improved academic alignment of resources to leverage our resources.
