Planning for Higher Education Journal
Placing Academics at the Heart of Higher Education Planning
From Volume 43 Number 2 | January–March 2015By Robert C. DickesonPlanning Types: Academic Planning, Strategic PlanningChallenges: Planning AlignmentAcademic programs should be the centrifugal force informing and driving the accomplishment of all other institutional plans. While financial, capital, and enrollment management plans are critical to institutional success, each is secondary to academic programs as a driving force. Institutions should simultaneously move toward “integrated planning” while developing a hierarchy of plans, with the academic program portfolio as primary. Undertaking more effective planning will require attention to several elements: operationalizing the mission, confronting the real issues, integrating resources into the plan, staying within institutional scope, quitting some programs and services, focusing on implementation and assessment, and maintaining a planning database for management purposes. The primacy of academic programs in the development of higher education plans will presage their success.
