President Sasse Begins Yearlong Strategic Planning Process

Sustainable research expenditure growth, effective post-tenure review, recruiting even more top-flight faculty, and establishing even greater impact beyond Gainesville are all part of University of Florida President Ben Sasse’s far-reaching vision for UF as he launches a yearlong strategic planning process to chart UF’s course for the next decade.

Sasse has been laying out his vision over the past three weeks during a series of conversations with faculty and deans at all 16 UF colleges. His presentation, “University of Florida’s Next Chapter,” includes significant amounts of data that support his plan. It frames the conversation by asking three strategic questions:

  • What does UF want to be known for?
  • How do we expand UF’s reach and impact?
  • How do we attract more top-tier faculty and continuously upgrade the talent UF will need for the future?

It also lays out 10 areas where UF could be considered top 10 in the next 10 years, a concept he refers to as “10x10x10.”
