UW System Administration Goals

Plan 2008 contains seven goals that are designed to transition the UW System into the 21st century:

Goal #1
Increase the number of Wisconsin high school graduates of color who apply, are accepted, and enroll at UW System institutions.
Goal #2
Encourage partnerships that build the educational pipeline by reaching children and their parents at an earlier age.
Goal #3
Close the gap in educational achievement, by bringing retention and graduation rates for students of color in line with those of the student body as a whole.
Goal #4
Increase the amount of financial aid available to needy students and reduce their reliance on loans.
Goal #5
Increase the number of faculty, academic staff, classified staff and administrators of color, so that they are represented in the UW System workforce in proportion to their current availability in relevant job pools. In addition, work to increase their future availability as potential employees.
Goal #6
Foster institutional environments and course development that enhance learning and a respect for racial and ethnic diversity.
Goal #7
Improve accountability of the UW System and its institutions.
