Foundational Assumptions
Our Strategic Plan is framed by four assumptions we recognize as being vital to our success as a comprehensive liberal arts and sciences, and workforce education institution of higher education.
The Strategic Plan assumes that the College operates as one college with multiple locations, programs and services. Common application of policy, practice and procedures will guide the College as the Strategic Plan is implemented. While each campus and location is unique and serves different populations, the priority must always be an institution-wide focus of "What is best for ASU-Beebe as a whole?" The College's emphasis will be to provide consistent, quality educational experience across all locations, programs, and services.
The Strategic Plan assumes that the College strives to increase operational efficiencies and continuously seeks out methods to reduce costs. This includes seeking new funding sources as well as exploring innovative technologies.
The Strategic Plan assumes that the College embraces data-informed decision making. The College will seek to answer the question of "How does this advance student success?" at every turn. The College will provide the necessary support to institutional research to ensure the data on which all decisions are based is sound.
The Strategic Plan assumes that the College will communicate the information necessary to cultivate active support around the goals and strategies in the plan. These communications will involve all employees and be open and transparent.
