Introduction
At its July 9, 1997 meeting, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia adopted the University System of Georgia Comprehensive Plan 1996-97. This plan incorporated four sets of comprehensive planning principles to guide actions dealing with enrollment planning, workforce planning, academic planning, and the provision of facilities. The first three principles pertaining to enrollment, workforce, and academic planning are summarized below.
- Enrollment planning principles set the context for the ensuring development
of enrollment targets for the System and each institution;
- Workforce planning principles were developed using the statewide needs
assessment, which was funded by ICAPP (Georgia’s Intellectual Capital
Partnership Program). The resulting list of high demand occupations should
spur program development and student interest and should also inform program
expansion; and
- Academic planning principles resulted in the modification of the program approval and review process. Although institutional initiatives will continue to drive new program development, state needs will play a larger role in the future in determining which new programs should be approved and which existing programs should be discontinued. The Board may also initiate the call for new programs.
Although these four sets of principles work together to provide the guidance for the System’s planning and decision-making processes, the fourth set of principles on Capital Resources Allocation are central to the focus of this document and are fully reproduced on the following pages.
