The charge of the work group on Demographic/Labor Market Projections is to provide assistance to the Strategic Planning Committee in the following ways:

  • Gather, review, and analyze data and other background materials on demographic/labor market projections that are influencing the future of the university, including, but not limited to, regional population projections; regional college readiness data; regional/state educational attainment rates; high school graduation rates; regional occupational projections and labor market data; and other demographic/labor market projections.

  • Based upon readings, analyses, discussions and input from subject matter experts and work group members, prepare a brief paper summarizing the demographic/labor market projections that 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
