Meeting the State's Future Needs
    

 

    Rutgers conducted an extensive self-study and planning process involving all of its constituencies. The result of the effort was the issuance of the University Strategic Plan: A New Vision for Excellence.

    The University Strategic Plan articulates a planning process for Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. The commitments, goals, and strategies set forth in the plan indicate the direction the university will take in order to maintain and enhance excellence in all of its endeavors. The process of strategic planning develops a commonality of purpose, a positive respect for our differences, and a shared sense of responsibility for our future. By stressing excellence in instruction, research, and service, by recognizing the importance of diversity and innovation, and by building our shared community, we will meet our commitments and realize our goals. In partnership with New Jersey, Rutgers must meet the present and future needs of the state for a highly skilled work force that will require lifelong access to education, for economic progress through scientific and technological innovation, and for service to citizens in a diverse democratic society. To accomplish its goals of excellence in the context of a public university, Rutgers supports diversity and community in its students, faculty, and staff; access and affordability in public higher education; the open exchange of ideas in intellectual inquiry; and civic responsibility within the university and outside it. An outline of the areas in which the university will focus in coming years is contained in the section on Mission Fulfillment.
