AU President Neil Kerwin announced Monday that the Board of Trustees approved the university's strategic plan at their Nov. 21 meeting.
The board made three changes to the strategic plan, all of which put an emphasis on the importance of ethics and service, Kerwin said in an e-mail to the AU community.
The next step for the strategic planning process will be to develop a budget and to develop specific objectives related to the action steps within the plan. The Strategic Planning Steering Committee will also need to develop a plan of action that will help reach these specific objectives, Kerwin said in the e-mail.
The board's Budget Committee will hold a town hall meeting at 1 p.m. Thursday, during which members of the AU community can to express their views and help with the first stage of the strategic plan's application.
