Board of Visitors approves UVA’s strategic direction
by McGregor McCance, UVaToday
The University of Virginia is one step closer to implementing a clear and detailed roadmap for the future, following Board of Visitors’ approval Friday of the core elements of a new strategic plan.
The “Cornerstone Plan” builds on UVA’s commitment as a public university while setting goals in new strategic areas that distinguish the University from its peers.

“It crystallizes a vision and set of strategic directions that will equip the University to move boldly into its third century,” President Teresa A. Sullivan said. “This plan focuses on the development of leadership among students, faculty and staff; leadership in pedagogy, clinical care and research; and leadership in higher education. It will bring national and international recognition to the University and to the commonwealth.”
Five “pillars” form the foundation of the plan, supported by 15 individual strategies. Together, the pillars articulate the University’s broad vision for the future while the strategies identify specific action items to make that vision a reality.
There is an omission of any discussion of the role of technology and the role of massive on line courses.
We need to look at how we are going to adapt and change in a new educational environment in the future and not simply churn past principles that worked for us in the past.
There is also no discussion of reducing the costs of delivering education instead of just expecting alumni to cover the growing funding gap.
