The Board of Regents of the University and Community Colleges System of Nevada (UCCSN) annually meets with campus administrators to articulate a systemwide vision and provide strategic directions. The 11 strategic directions identified during the February 1994 meeting were: (1) enhance academic planning and integrate planning and budgeting efforts systemwide; (2) emphasize undergraduate education and enhance the quality of undergraduate education; (3) selectively develop graduate education systemwide to serve the needs of Nevadans; (4) enhance access and retention in public postsecondary education; (5) recognize and reflect the diversity of society within UCCSN institutions; (6) emphasize and enhance collaborative programs within the system and between the UCCSN and other institutions and agencies; (7) provide a leadership role to promote economic health and growth of the state through its education, research, and service efforts; (8) continue UCCSN's commitment to evaluation and assessment to ensure accountability to the citizens of Nevada; (9) strive to obtain additional resources and ensure adequate reallocation of those resources; (10) recognize the importance of higher education in building common societal values and ethics, and seek ways to promote and enhance this role; and (11) promote both basic and applied research that meets the needs of the state, region, and nation. (Each strategic direction is accompanied by a series of specific objectives.) (KP)
