Key Management Issues for UGA: 2000-2010

• What are our enrollment targets, by college and school, and by level? How do we balance graduate students with undergraduates, and entering freshmen with transfers? Where do we have growth capacity? In which colleges should we create additional capacity? In what disciplines will our future students want to enroll?
• How are we going to make UGA a place black Georgians can call their own? What new programs and resources are needed for success?
• Where can we grow in quality and dollars in research and creative work; where can we be among the national leaders? In what other areas do we have a national or regional strategic advantage? In what areas of the arts, humanities, sciences, social sciences and professional schools do we have the opportunity to build nationally prominent programs?
• What kind of intellectual/academic/residential community can we/should we build for undergraduates at UGA? What are the new physical requirements for building this community? How can we create a better academic-and-extracurricular community for both freshmen and transfer students? How can we build the best possible environment for graduate students? How will we pay for these enrichments of the university community?
• What are the educational market opportunities for international/global programs at UGA? What are our strengths/advantages?
• What role will cyber-education play at UGA, given our mostly traditional student profile and our institutional and state demographics? How will we pay for the technology, software, connectivity and "24-7" technical support this kind of education requires?
• What are our strategic (as opposed to master) plans for acquiring and developing the property and the physical facilities we need to grow properly over the next generation?
• How do we become the most productive and credible factor in the state's economic development?
• How do we create budgeting and fund-raising priority-setting processes that help realize our plans, and the assessment and accountability procedures to demonstrate our stewardship and progress?
• What is our role and what are our goals in higher education for non-traditional students?
• How should the University of Georgia grow together and in harmony with the city of Athens, and Clarke and its surrounding counties? How can the University become a better neighbor, and what joint projects and ventures should be developed to benefit both Athens and its largest enterprise?
