  • Wealth and Influence at GVSU
    What’s in a Name: A Popular Guide to Wealth & Influence at GVSU Why a Guide on Wealth & Influence at GVSU? A few years ago there was a brief opening prompted by some students and faculty to have a discussion about the influence that wealthy donors to GVSU have on the climate at that campus. An article appeared in the student newspaper, The Lanthorn, which generated a significant amount of discussion and an interesting reaction from the administration. GVSU administrators made it clear to students who dared to question the influence that wealthy donors have on campus by telling them to shut up.! Professor Michael Ott wrote to The Lanthorn in response to the issue and articulated the fundamental problem with “corporate donations” to GVSU. “The concern and problem of universities courting corporate donations as a means for their continuance and growth, not only here at GVSU but on campuses across the nation, is historically grounded, particularly in the recent experience of the wealthy and powerful corporate elite’s reconstructing not only the economy but also the supposedly independent realm of politics into a means of furthering and legitimating their own agenda and culture as the national norm.” ! The purpose of this guide is to not only point out the number of wealthy donors to GVSU, but to shed some light on who these people are, what they stand for and how they are influencing policy and practice at GVSU.! Those who have economic power do not donate merely to have their names plastered on the front of buildings, rather the contribution is a way to influence outcomes of institutions like GVSU.

  • Grand Valley State University Five-Year Master Plan FY 2021 – 2025
    Grand Valley State University Five-Year Master Plan FY 2021 – 2025 I. Mission Statement Grand Valley State University educates students to shape their lives, their professions, and their societies. The university contributes to the enrichment of society through excellent teaching, active scholarship, and public service. In April 2015, the Strategic Positioning 2016 Committee, a standing university committee, comprising representative from the university’s constituent groups was created to periodically review the university strategic plan for its relevance, currency, and appropriateness for strategically positioning Grand Valley State University for its preferred future. Since its inception, the committee has engaged the university community in the process of updating the strategic plan. The Grand Valley State University Strategic Plan 2016–2021 www.gvsu.edu/strategicplanning/ is the result of the efforts of the Strategic Positioning Committee 2016. This plan was approved by the University’s Board of Trustees in April 2015. The Board of Trustees approved the institutional vision, mission, and values of the Strategic Plan. II. Instructional Programming a. Describe existing academic programs and projected programming changes during the next five years, in so far as academic programs are affected by specific structural considerations, (i.e. laboratories, classrooms, current and future distance learning initiatives, etc.) The factor, which is fueling the credit hour growth in existing academic programs, is the continued growth in academic credit hours with health sciences, computing, and engineering. The growth in these areas also affects a rise in our liberal education foundational classes, particularly in the sciences and mathematics. For the sciences, a new State supported facility was occupied in August 2015.
