Validating Integrated Planning Practices for Higher Education

SCUP Research examines emerging and persistent challenges in integrated planning for higher education institutions. Our goal is to advance your integrated planning efforts by identifying best practices and solutions that help cultivate robust planning cultures on campus. Through validating the integrated planning approach, our research enhances organizational resilience and fosters a culture of planning across colleges and universities.

Current Research Initiative

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging in Higher Education

SCUP and Campus Sonar studied online conversations about diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) in higher education. We analyzed how students and others discuss DEIB, tracked how these discussions have changed, and found ways colleges can use these insights to improve.

This study was launched in October 2023. Come back soon for more information!
