Long-range academic planning became a regular practice at Iowa State in the 1970s under President W. Robert Parks. Eventually, the strategic planning process was expanded to encompass administrative as well as academic units on campus. By the 1990s, annual reports were produced to document the progress being made towards the goals of the strategic plan. This collection contains correspondence, meeting minutes, plans, publicity materials, and reports related to strategic planning at Iowa State University. |
Long-range academic planning became a regular practice at Iowa State in the 1970s under President W. Robert Parks. During the Martin Jischke administration of the 1990s, strategic planning was expanded to encompass administrative as well as academic units on campus. The process became more formalized with progress reports published annually to document the extent to which the goals of each five-year plan were being met. The Strategic Planning Committee is not a standing committee, but is initiated at the request of the president. In its most recent incarnation, the Strategic Planning Steering and Writing Committee was chaired by the provost and consisted of 22 academic, scientific, and student leaders on campus. Prior to the 1970s, long-range planning was only done sporadically and then generally limited to academic units. One notable exception was the planning project undertaken during the administration of Raymond Hughes in the 1930s. His "Twenty-Year Development Program" looked at all aspects of the university including the extension service and the general administration. |
This collection (circa 1916-[ongoing]) contains correspondence, meeting minutes, plans, publicity materials, and reports produced by the Strategic Planning Committee and its predecessors. These materials document long-range academic and administrative planning at the University and provide a firm set of goals that the different presidents and faculty wished to move towards. Most of the materials date from the 1970s up through current years with only a few reports prior to then. One of those early reports, the "Twenty-Year Development Program" proposed during the 1930s should be noted for its comprehensiveness. |
The collection is listed chronologically. |
