Master Planning for Higher Education Systems: A Case Study

Presenter(s): Elizabeth L. Bringsjord and Steven G. Poskanzer, State University of New York; Mary K. Sherwood and Walter V. Wendler, Texas A&M University System
Convener: Gerald Gaither, Prairie View A&M University

The use of system master planning in demonstrating accountability and outcomes is receiving increasing attention. This session focuses on the current experience of two state systems (the Texas A&M University System and the SUNY System) in developing system-wide plans for the new millennium. One case study is largely "bottom up" with a five-year perspective (SUNY), while the other is largely "top down" with a 20-year perspective (TAMUS), but both use benchmarks and performance indicators to link to societal goals, campus declarations, and mission fulfillment.
This knowledge resource from SCUP is a concurrent session presented at the Society's thirty-sixth annual, international conference and Expo, SCUP–36, in Boston, MA (USA), in July of 2001.

Audiocassettes of this and other SCUP–36 sessions are available for purchase here.

Due to our concern for the privacy of members of the face-to-face audiences at SCUP-36, our digital archives of SCUP-36 presentations end at the beginning of the question and answer portion of each session. Whenever we can, we not only provide streaming audio but the slide show or visual presentation used by the presenters, as well.
