SCSU readers of this blog might not know that the 2003-04 Work Plan is already up.

The annual work plan is a response to the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Annual Work Plan Actions for 2003-2004. It incorporates the objectives outlined in the MnSCU strategic plan, Designing the Future, and MnSCU work plan as well as the goals identified in the St. Cloud State University Strategic Planning Committee.

3.A.1. Establish an Office of Campus & Community Equity to direct university-wide diversity efforts
Responsibility: President�s Office
Timeline: September 2003

There's 116 goals listed. How many of these are funded goals? Well, at least we'll be able to add them up.
