Purpose

The strategic planning outlines the institution’s goals based on the University’s mission and vision.

Scope

This policy applies to all faculty, staff, and individuals employed by or seeking employment with the University.

Policy

Strategic planning at Lindenwood University is a committee-of-the-whole process, an endeavor that involves all offices, schools, and sectors, including the students as well as faculty, staff, and the Board of Trustees. The overarching goal is to conduct the formulation or reformulation of the strategic plan as a genuinely collegial effort that draws upon the interests, perspectives, and unique expertise of the entire university community.

The planning process flows from the university’s mission statement and is developed to reflect and accomplish the purposes included in that proclamation. All key stakeholders are expected to participate in the undertaking to provide input not only on their individual service domains or disciplines but also on the formal assumptions underlying the plan and the general direction of the university’s educational and developmental programs and operations.
