Summary
The Board approved the university performance and accountability report and adopted final success measures for the Elevate Extraordinary 2030 strategic roadmap, including measures on AI competency and career development. Both approvals passed by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.
The Board of Regents voted to approve the university’s annual performance and accountability report, a charter-required document that summarizes metrics such as enrollment, expenditures and other accountability measures. The provost presented final metrics and highlighted additions including peer graduation-rate comparisons and newly clarified measures for the university progress card.
A short time later, the board considered and approved the final set of success measures for the university’s strategic plan, "Elevate Extraordinary 2030." President Cunningham and Vice President for Strategic Initiatives Ryan Schmiesing described the measures as outcome-focused and noted new metrics related to generative AI competency for faculty, staff and students, immersive learning and career-development measures, and infrastructure investment outcomes.
Regent Lueger praised the adoption and said metrics will evolve: "What you set out to measure is what you focus on," she said, urging continued review and amendment over time. The board moved, seconded, and approved inclusion of the metrics in the university progress card by voice vote; the meeting record shows voice votes and 'motion carries' but does not provide roll-call tallies.
Both approvals were recorded in the meeting minutes as motions carried; the board directed staff to continue refining metrics and to report progress through the established progress-card framework.
