Committees
UM's Strategic Operating Rhythm comprises the University Leadership Council and committees focused on budget and assessment and accreditation. The Strategic Enrollment Planning steering committee has also been integral to the process.
University Strategy Council
The University Strategy Council informs the development and implementation of UM’s strategic priorities. The Council will examine institutional challenges, capabilities, and ways of working that affect UM’s ability to make timely decisions, set and sustain priorities, allocate resources strategically, foster innovation, and pursue long-term outcomes. Through discussion of current practices, needed capabilities, and their practical application, as well as ongoing assessment of the higher education landscape, the council will identify challenges and opportunities relevant to UM and help shape the university’s strategic direction.
University Assessment and Accreditation Committee
The University Assessment and Accreditation Committee (Assessment Committee) acts as the central body responsible for University accreditation and assessment activities. The committee provides summative assessments of the University’s mission fulfillment as well as ongoing formative assessments that ensure institutional tracking of key indicators to help refine strategies under each Priority for Action.
University Budget Committee
The University Budget Committee acts as a consultative, review, and advisory committee. This body provides data and guidance as sectors plan their budgets and draft their “strategic playbooks,” reviews submitted budgets, and provides recommendations to the executive leadership regarding budget allocations.
