RFP for a Study of Higher Education Needs in the Mesabi Range Region
Strategic Planning
The Office of Research and Planning provides a variety of strategic
planning services at the system, regional, and institutional level for
Minnesota State Colleges and Universities and its key partners. These services include:
· Strategic plan development;
· Vision and mission development;
· Vision and mission approval by the MnSCU Board of Trustees;
· Workplan development;
· Development and management of focus groups around specific topic areas;
· Group facilitation; and
· Demographic and labor market data.
Due to the limited size of the planning staff, planning services are
only offered when staff is available. Priorities are determined by the
Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs and the Associate
Vice Chancellor for Research and Planning. The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities
institutions are given first priority.

REGIONAL PLANNING
Regional planning structures or processes are still being developed.
Key system leaders as well as key system partners and stakeholders will
be involved in the development, implementation, and evaluation of any
regional planning structures. The three regional structures that are
in place are the Metro Alliance, the Northeast Higher Education District,
and University Center Rochester.

or leslie.mercer@so.mnscu.edu
ACADEMIC PLANNING The Office of the Chancellor is developing
a manual and processes to help colleges and universities to develop
academic plans. These plans will help higher education institutions
to target their programs and services on current and future student,
community and employer needs. In addition, academic planning will help
MnSCU to develop strong partnerships within the system and with other
higher education institutions, community organizations, and employers.
The manual should be completed by August 30, 2002. More information
on academic planning will be posted on the academic and student affairs
web-site when the manual is completed and available for use.
