Section C – College Focus Goals

  • Consult broadly with campus constituencies, including elected faculty representatives, to identify important priority areas for the college not already addressed by the university or sector goals. Presidents should provide a brief description of the consultation process in the year-end self-assessment letter.
  • Identify three to five specific goals related to its strategic plan. Each focus goal will state an outcome to be achieved by year’s end and will have at least one qualitative or quantitative metric by which progress can be judged in one year.
  • Goals should follow the S.M.A.R.T. criteria[1]. Preparing a strategic plan and meeting milestones on regular institutional accreditation processes are not acceptable focus goals, nor are activities and processes that lead to desired outcomes. Focus goals should relate to strategic goals but be more specific
  • Set numeric targets on all quantitative outcomes measures associated with college focus goals.

Specify the goal, explain (briefly) how it is connected to the college’s strategic plan, and indicate how progress will be measured. Provide trend data for any quantitative metrics, and set a target on the metric(s) for the coming year.
