- Discussion
- Update on Action 3.2.3 - Kim Obbink and Cody Stone, for Outreach and Engagement Council
- 3.3.2 would create/improve structures to engage community stakeholders. Ad hoc committee
of the Outreach and Engagement Council (OEC) makes 4 recommendations:
- Structure: strengthen outreach and engagement contacts within colleges and units
- External face: help potential partners “get to their ask”, connect with communities with development of a portal to make requests to MSU
- Internal face: establish baseline inventory (also action 3.2.2) – who is working in these spaces and places?
- Training: What is the best way for potential campus actors to partner in authentic and mutually beneficial partnerships? CFE and HR certificates in engagement?
- Discussion included integration within RTP process, delays in achieving these actions, including non-faculty engagement activity in inventory – especially among student groups and projects, role of alumni in partnerships
- 3.3.2 would create/improve structures to engage community stakeholders. Ad hoc committee
of the Outreach and Engagement Council (OEC) makes 4 recommendations:

- Chris Fastnow shared the Fall Institutional Report, an annual report that shows trends in employment on campus, enrollment, persistence and graduation, and General Fund expenditures. Council discussed trends shown.
- Goal 2.2 Update
- Chris Fastnow shared a quick review of Goal 2.2’s metrics and actions on interdisciplinary research and scholarship, the report was also shared with University Council.

-
Rob Maher raised discussion of Planning Council’s appropriate response to slow progress or missed deadlines on specific actions and metrics. Should someone be held accountable? Discussion included:
-
PC can highlight metrics and actions where that is happening
-
PC might, suggest whether these are areas that need to be addressed or if slow/stalled progress is acceptable in changing conditions – is there capacity, should MSU work more in this area?
-
Stretch goals may not benefit from strict accountability – chilling effect on ambitious goal setting
-
-
- Public comment - none
