The charge of the work group on Competitive Forces is to provide assistance to the Strategic Planning Committee in the follow ways:

  • Gather, review, and analyze data and other background materials on competitive forces that are influencing the future of the university, including, but not limited to, regional and state competition; non-profit and for-profit higher education providers; statewide adult learner initiatives; and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs).

  • Based upon readings, analyses, discussions and input from subject matter experts and work group members, prepare a brief paper summarizing the primary competitive forces that should be considered as the university develops its vision and strategic priorities for 2018.

  • Provide the paper and recommended reading list to the Strategic Planning Committee by March 18, 2013.

  • Provide additional support as requested by the Strategic Planning Committee.

  • Endorse, follow, and promote the guiding principles for the strategic planning process.
