POLICY DISCUSSION
All Members were present for this segment of the Board meeting, which began at 9:50 a.m., and ended at 11:15 a.m.
Ms. Sheehy, Vice President for Management and Budget, led the discussion, which was centered on restructuring-related performance measures. Restructuring refers to the 2005 Restructured Higher Education Financial and Administrative Operations Act, adopted by the General Assembly, and to the 2006 Management Agreement. The Act required the Board of Visitors to meet a set of eleven statewide goals; the Board on June 10, 2005, approved the University's commitment to meet these goals. The General Assembly later added a twelfth goal that does not become effective until 2007-2008.
The State Council of Higher Education has developed measures of performance, known as the Institutional Performance Standards; using these standards, SCHEV will assess institutional performance on an annual basis. The University worked with the State Council in developing the Standards and established benchmarks and targets for each measure. SCHEV staff will recommend certification of institutions to the Council at the Council meeting on May 8th.
Ms. Sheehy outlined the requirements and the Standards and provided the necessary data on the University's performance.
