This presentation will look at the history of Charting the Future as well as looking at the road ahead for the campus/regional process.

1. Charting the Future:
Where we’ve been!

2.  Charting the Future (CTF) started with six base
recommendations that were adopted by the Board of Trustees.
 Those six are:
◦ Drastically increase the success of all learners, especially those in diverse
populations traditionally underserved in higher education
◦ Develop a collaborative and coordinated academic planning process that
advances affordability, transferability, and access to our programs and
services across the state.
◦ Certify student competencies and capabilities, expand pathways to
accelerate degree completion through credit for prior learning, and foster
the award of competency-based credit and degrees.
◦ Expand the innovative use of technology to deliver high quality online
courses, strengthen classroom instruction and student services, and
provide more individualized learning and advising.
◦ Work together under new models to be the preferred provider of
comprehensive workplace solutions…
◦ Redesign our financial and administrative models to reward collaboration,
drive efficiencies, and strengthen our ability to provide an extraordinary
education for all Minnesotans.
The “Six”

3.  Creation of the “implementation process;”
◦ Contract with McKinsey
 Controversy
◦ 8 implementation teams created through the
McKinsey designed process.
 Student success, Diversity, Comprehensive
Workplace Solutions, Academic Planning, System
Incentives and Rewards, Credit for Prior Learning,
Education Technology, and Information Technology
Systems and Design
◦ Team composition
 Students, faculty, campus staff, and administrators
 Lead by a college or university president (except
one)
Next Step

4.  As teams were meeting…….
◦ Faculty (MSCF and IFO) decided to no longer
participate in the process.
 Each cited different reasons
◦ Controversy erupted in the media
 Several news stories throughout the fall
◦ Then Governor Dayton got involved….
 “Get along, or else…”
Next….

5.  “Everyone” started getting along….kind
of….
◦ Faculty and Board of Trustees Agreement
 Campus and Regional Process
 Current CTF teams had to end by June 30th
 Nothing in the agreement stopped current
work from going forward
◦ MSCSA Platform Motion
 September deadline
◦ This agreement was “adopted” and has been
the new roadmap for CTF.
And then….

6.  New “Coordinating Committee:”
◦ Membership
◦ Role
◦ Meetings start this fall
 Leadership Council Recommendations:
◦ September retreat
◦ Implementation timeline/plan
◦ What does it mean?
Where we’re now…

7.  Teams will begin officially meeting this
fall on each campus/institution
 There should be a student on any
teams that meet.
 If you don’t hear from your college
president on this soon, reach out to
them.
