Governor John Rood, Chair, convened the meeting of the Strategic Planning Committee at 8:48 a.m. Members present were Dean Colson; Joe Caruncho; Tico Perez; Rick Yost; and, via telephone, Patricia Frost. 1. Call to Order and Opening Remarks Governor Rood called the meeting to order. 2. Approval of Minutes from January 18, 2012 A motion was made that the Committee approve the minutes of meetings held March 22, 2012 and April 5, 2012 as presented. The motion was seconded, and the minutes were approved without objection. 3. Consideration of University 2012 Work Plans Governor Rood asked staff to provide a brief presentation on the expectations for the Board’s consideration of University 2012 Work Plans. Vice Chancellor Jan Ignash provided the presentation. The presentation included information as to how the meeting would progress, tools being made available to the Committee to facilitate its deliberations, and expected outcomes. Following the presentations, University 2012 Work Plans were individually considered. The format for the Committee’s consideration took the form of presentations by university representatives, a dialogue between university representatives and Board members, and formal consideration to approve that portion of each institution’s Work Plan associated with the 2012-13 academic year. Presentations and discussion were conducted on the afternoon of June 19, 2012 and all day June 20, 2012. Each presentation and discussion took approximately one hour per institution. 13 Those portions of University 2012 Work Plans associated with the 2012-13 academic year were approved for the University of Florida, Florida State University, the University of South Florida, Florida Atlantic University, the University of West Florida, the University of Central Florida, Florida International University, the University of North Florida, Florida Gulf Coast University, and New College of Florida. That portion of Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University’s 2012 Work Plan was approved contingent on the University’s provision of a detailed plan at the Committee’s September 2012 meeting for improving student retention, graduation rates, and student indebtedness. 4. Next Steps and Closing Remarks Governor Rood concluded the meeting by emphasizing that issues raised during the Committee’s deliberations associated with the out-years of the University Work Plans would be captured by staff and presented at the Committee’s September 2012 meeting. These would take the form of issues that appeared to manifest across the State University System as well as issues specific to individual institutions. The identification of these issues would provide guidance for institutions as they submitted next year’s version of University Work Plans.
