Staff and provosts begin planning for 2027 performance-agreement cycle
Summary
Board staff and provosts discussed preparing for the next three-year performance-agreement cycle that begins with the 2027 academic year, emphasizing early planning, possible action-based metrics and the need to set baselines.
Board staff told committee members they are beginning preparations for the next three-year performance-agreement cycle, which will cover the academic year beginning in fall 2027.
Dr. Monholland, the staff presenter, said the system is in the second year of the current three-year cycle and that “the next cycle would begin … for the academic year 2027.” He told the committee staff will ask institutions and provosts to consider what metrics, milestones and implementation actions should be included in new agreements.
Committee members discussed whether future agreements should emphasize implementation steps (actions taken) rather than near-term results, because outcome data for initiatives such as math pathways and degree maps will arrive with a lag. Dr. Monholland said campuses may not have full outcome data until fiscal year 2028 and suggested the first year of a new cycle could focus on actions and implementation, with later years adding outcome-oriented metrics.
Members asked for examples and historical context. One committee member requested staff provide previous performance agreements and the current agreements so members can compare how the documents have evolved.
No formal action or vote was taken. The committee’s direction was procedural: staff and provosts should begin planning and convene faculty and campus stakeholders after the new academic year to draft the 2027 cycle agreements, including input from BASC and the full board at subsequent stages.
What happens next: staff will solicit input from provosts and campus stakeholders, assemble historical agreements for committee review, and begin convening working groups after the start of the new academic year.
