Foundational Documents

Foundational Documents are university-wide planning documents which are strategic in nature and which cut across college and unit structures. They are intended to signal general overarching direction to the university community on selected aspects of the Strategic Directions. They describe, at the highest level, the general direction the University is prepared to take on a particular issue.
