Academic Strategic Plan Priorities, Goals and Actions

ÀÏ˾»ú¸£ÀûÍø's Academic Strategic Plan (ASP) Features Three Interrelated Components: Strategic Priorities, Strategic Goals and Priority Actions.

Identified under each of the five Strategic Priorities are several Strategic Goals that articulate what we aim for SLU to have achieved by the end of the five-year Academic Strategic Plan timeline.

Goals are intentionally written to:

  • Operationalize the Strategic Priorities. 
  • Be observable/measurable (qualitatively and/or quantitatively) in order to foster accountability from institutional leaders.

Under each Strategic Goal is a short list of Priority Actions: key actions necessary for the achievement of the goals. These Priority Actions are not exhaustive – but they are essential starting points for the achievement of the goals.

Commitment of Resources

The priorities and goals set forth in this plan are ambitious – and the work to achieve them will happen alongside other important, ongoing work of the University that must continue. Yet, we recognize and respect the limits on faculty and staff time, and our limited institutional resources, that in turn limit the scope of this plan.

We pledge that available institutional resources – human and financial – will be invested in the advancement of the Priorities, Goals and Actions articulated in this plan.

More specifically, the provost, as well as all deans and vice presidents reporting to the provost, share in their commitment to ensure that major decision-making throughout the ASP’s five-year implementation period is conducted in alignment with, and to intentionally advance, this ASP. Their shared commitment will greatly inform resource allocation, hiring, operational planning and other key activities and decisions within Academic Affairs.
