INNOVATION As far as faculty and staff are concerned, innovation means the University will work to assess what is currently done, be more progressive and focused toward human capital and purposefully incorporate strategies in the strategic plan moving forward. To adequately measure progress, a rating system is suggested to determine if intended outcomes have been achieved, if noticeable progress has been made or if no noticeable progress has been actualized. Responsible parties must be established, and parameters for data collection must be determined. Finally, reviews of the data must be conducted at appropriate intervals. The University must place an emphasis on diversity of staff and faculty. The types of diversity needed are those that contribute to intellectual debate, growth in understanding and improvements in student learning. This would include ethnicity, educational background, gender and intellectual orientations. Such diversity, if done well and purposefully, encourages engagement with students that raises the quality of the education and prepares students for life.
Metric: Create a sense of community and culture to reduce isolation of faculty, staff and students as we welcome new members to the Buff family.
