Quarterly Updates
UB 2020 Update
 |
Work on UB 2020 has progressed substantially over the summer months as faculty and staff members have continued to contribute ideas and vision to the university's strategic-planning process. Several of the academic planning committees in the 10 areas of strategic strength identified during the first phase of the process have completed, or are completing, plans in which they outline ways to build on those strengths, including proposals for funding over several years to help accomplish that goal. Two of the plans have been presented to the deans and UB 2020 Academic Planning Committee, and five more are scheduled to be presented before the end of the semester. Important progress also has been made by those working in the "transformation" of academic support services in the areas of information technology and human resources, as well as in the consolidation of Grants and Contracts Administration and Sponsored Programs Administration. » More |
