Improvement goals to be achieved by the end of the Strategic Plan (Academic Year 2019-
2020) are developed through College-wide consultation, with annual progress compared
with a baseline year. Institutional effectiveness outcomes will be monitored annually for
progress on each goal. In addition, an overriding priority is to reduce existing differences in
achievement by demographic characteristics across all measures.
