- academic senate, student senate, SSC and upcoming classified presentations
- not a traditional master plan
- serves as a compass for the institution
-launched Ideascale to provide feedback
- suggestion: add table of contents
- language: will, should, may very intentional and purposeful; every imperative has a “will”
- suggestion: clarify the use of the language so intent is clear
- question: expanding essential skills imperative – seems to focus on degrees and ignores certificates; - - - intent is actually the opposite
- what one thing stood out: the ability of AI in the future to replace human jobs; the ability of technology to expand our reach but yet isolate due to a lack of technology
- how do we utilize this document
- consider the ability to review annually and update the document
