IV. UT System Strategic Plan Initiatives
a. Enrollment Management Plan Development and Targets
UTEP has established an Enrollment Management Committee, co-chaired by Vice President Steve Riter and Vice Provost Maggy Smith,
to review a variety of enrollment management scenarios, including possible changes in admission requirements, and assess the likely
student access/success and financial impacts of each of them.
b. Financial Management Plan
UTEP engages in significant financial planning, including the formal budget processes, the annual six year financial forecast, the
development of compacts and strategic plan, and the tuition setting process. The financial forecasts and planning models are
developed in collaboration with campus units such as CIERP, Office of Research, Academic Affairs, Information Technology and others,
to ensure that all significant issues are considered in the development of financial plans.

recommendations from the system-wide Information Security Team led by Lewis Watkins.

VII. Status of Campus Strategic/Long-Range Plan
Two years of extensive planning activities have produced UTEP's 2006-2015 Strategic Plan. During this process, we revised our
mission and vision, and restated our goals and objectives. There was extensive campus and community involvement in the planning
process. We are now in the process of implementing the strategic plan and developing a Web-based system to review and update the
plans annually. We are currently developing materials for print and online publication and communication.
VIII. Campus Consultation to Develop Compact
The current Compact emerges out of the 2006-2015 Strategic Plan, and faculty, staff, students and the community were extensively
involved in developing the plan. In addition, we worked with campus departments to identify and update initiatives that are in the
current Compact.
