FORMAT FOR COLLEGE/MAJOR SCHOOL INTEGRATED PLANS: This plan spans three years in a continuous
improvement process. At the end of 2007-08, each college and major school will
complete a unit annual report based on the progress made on this plan. Also,
the annual report will modify the plan as needed for the next two years and add
goals for one additional year, this “plus one” process ensuring continuous work
in three-year periods.
