1)    Review the progress made on the implementation of the University Strategic Plan.
A)    Review and provide feedback on priorities and goals established by each division.
B)    Provide feedback through annual progress reports on strategic plan goals.

2)    Solicit feedback from and communicate with university community regarding status of strategic plan implementation.

3)    Make recommendations for strengthening or modifying of the Plan to the President, with the intention of making the Plan a living document that evolves with changing conditions while continuing to advance the mission of Southern Connecticut State University.

CHARGE to USPaRC

The University Strategic Plan Review Committee (USPaRC) has been charged by President Norton to monitor the progress of the implementation of the University Strategic Plan to ensure that the university stays on course in achieving the stated goals of the plan. The committee serves in an advisory capacity to the President.
USPaRC shall meet at least twice a year to discuss the implementation of the strategic plan and the relative progress being made toward achieving the stated goals and objectives. Where sufficient progress on goals and objectives is not being made, it shall be the responsibility of the Committee to try to identify the impediments to success and provide advice, where appropriate, for removing the impediments, whether they are human, technical, organizational, or financial.
Maintaining the spirit of openness and transparency that characterized the University Strategic Planning process, USPaRC shall both solicit from, and share information with, the University at large. The Chair or Co-chairs of USPaRC shall submit to the President an assessment of the University's progress towards the actualization of the USP.
