Draft Planning Process
To assist in the FY12/13 budget planning process, a draft of the Building the Vision Academic Strategic Plan will be ready by the end of the Fall 2011 term. NMSU anticipates a three-year cycle of academic strategic planning: university level, college level, and departmental level, demonstrating a dynamic, thoughtful academic plan closely aligned with, and highly responsive to, trends and forces in the larger higher education community.
This process will be open and transparent. Progress will be posted and comments will be collected on the Provost’s web site.
