This report enhances the System’s commitment to accountability and strategic planning by fostering greater coordination between institutional administrators, University Boards of Trustees and the Board of Governors regarding each institution’s direction and priorities as well as performance expectations and outcomes on institutional and System-wide goals. Once an Accountability Plan is approved by each institution’s respective Boards of Trustees, the Board of Governors will review and consider the plan for approval, excluding those sections of the Plan that require additional regulatory or procedural approval pursuant to law or Board regulations. Beginning with the 2023 Accountability Plans, all universities must comply with Recommendation II of the Board’s Civil Discourse Final Report adopted by the Board in January 2022. Recommendation II recommends that “each university's Accountability Plan … include a specific endorsement of the Board's Statement of Free Expression, as well as a clear expectation for openminded and tolerant civil discourse throughout the campus community.” This statement may appear in any of these narrative portions: Mission, Statement of Strategy; or Strengths, Opportunities, and Challenges. STRATEGY Mission Statement UCF is a public research university invested in unleashing the potential within every individual, enriching the human experience through inclusion, discovery and innovation, and propelling broad-based prosperity for the many communities we serve.
