System Task Force - Coordinate Campus Report: UMM

Each campus in the University system has a responsibility, consistent with its history and mission, to move toward making the University one of the top three public research institutions in the world. This task force is asked to conduct a thorough evaluation of the mission, priorities, strengths, and future direction of the Morris campus as part of this institutional commitment. This evaluation should carefully examine the current status of the campus and its programs, and determine where change is needed to address current trends and anticipate future needs.

Specifically, the task force should:

1. Evaluate background data about demographic, programmatic, and fiscal issues facing the campus;
2. Address enrollment issues and associated financial considerations;
3. Identify ways to partner with the other campuses and with Twin Cities campus colleges and units to leverage complementary strengths and identify efficiencies;
4. Establish a financial and academic accountability framework under which the campus will operate;
5. Develop operating assumptions that lead to successful implementation of goals;
6. Develop measures by which progress toward goals will be assessed.

Report due: March 31, 2006
